Chapter 258: How Dare He?

"Hmph, he has already exposed his strength now. Next time, if he still wants to bet on himself to earn a large amount of points, it definitely won't work."

"That's right, I really want to see if there is a next time, whether he still dares to bet all his points on himself!"

Around the Arena, everyone had also figured out the reason for this, and the looks they cast at Lu Yu instantly became complicated.

Many people were naturally unhappy with Lu Yu because they had lost points, not to mention that the other party was still a newcomer.

As it turned out, this newcomer was actually a D-rank Awakened! Even if they had more dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could only keep it bottled up, otherwise, the only one who would be unlucky was themselves.

As for the small number of D-rank Awakened, their eyes were full of contempt.

They thought to themselves, hmph, a D-rank Awakened playing the trick of playing the pig to eat the tiger here, is it interesting?

If you have the ability, don't get off the Arena; what kind of skill is it to bully E-rank Awakened? If you have the ability, go and spar with them, the D-rank Awakened.

On the Arena, Ji Fan's guts were green with regret at this moment.

He was filled with regret; if he had known it would be like this, why did he have to run up here to seek abuse?

Now it was fine, he had thrown away another one hundred points for nothing.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Yu, his eyes filled with both dissatisfaction and a trace of fear, and finally, he shook the stones off his body and slunk off the Arena.

Just at this moment, several angry voices rang out from the surroundings.

"You surnamed Su, you guy hid your strength, winning is not honorable at all!"

"That's right, you are clearly a D-rank Awakened, yet you ran over to compete with us E-rank Awakened to earn our points; do you still have any shame?"

"If you have the ability, don't come down, keep fighting!"

"That's right, if you're a man, then have a contest with the D-rank Awakened here!"

Hearing the jeers from the surroundings, Lu Yu just nodded calmly and said, "Alright, then let's continue."

The surroundings instantly went quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe their ears. This—this was just agreed to? They had thought the other party would definitely refuse.

"Good!" Just at this moment, a man walked onto the Arena with a half-smile on his face, "Since you have agreed, then I will represent the D-rank Awakened in the Association and trade a few blows with you."

A burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the surroundings.

"This guy Jin Boli..." A group of D-rank Awakened looked at each other, all feeling somewhat unwilling.

"I won't take advantage of someone in a precarious position either. How about this, you can rest for a while first, and it won't be too late for us to make a move after you have rested well."

Jin Boli smiled hypocritically at Lu Yu.

He felt in his heart that he had already figured out Lu Yu's background clearly, while Lu Yu knew nothing about him.

"No need." Lu Yu shook his head without hesitation and said, "We can start now."

"Really?" A nameless fire surged in Jin Boli's heart, "Friend, I advise you to think it over clearly, otherwise don't be dissatisfied if you lose."

Lu Yu just shook his head slightly and did not speak.

"Fine." Jin Boli snorted coldly, thinking to himself that you will pay a painful price for this decision in a moment.

At this time, the voice of the man in sunglasses came from the loudspeaker, and as soon as the words fell, it entered the betting phase.

Having experienced two victories, there were actually fewer people betting on Lu Yu to win this time; after a long while, the points under his avatar did not jump at all.

On the contrary, on Jin Boli's side, the points kept climbing upward, quickly rising from one thousand points to two thousand points, and then to three thousand points.

Many people looked at this situation, their brows furrowed into knots.

Because the points bet on the newcomer Lu Yu were not even one hundred points.

These odds were simply unwatchable; how could one even play?

Of course, one could also bet on the newcomer, but the probability of losing everything was almost one hundred percent; after all, this newcomer's trump cards had already been completely exposed.

In the Control Room, Du Hu and his group looked at the gradually widening point ratio, their faces revealing meaningful smiles.

"It seems that this time, that kid doesn't dare to bet on himself, right?"

"Yeah, that guy should have 1450 points on him. Excluding the 200 points for this match's bet, he still has 1250 points left. If he bet it all on himself, it would indeed raise Jin Boli's odds quite a bit."

"How would he dare."

"Exactly, he is just..."

The person speaking suddenly stopped. He stared fixedly at the screen, his eyes wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

The others also quickly turned their heads to look, and in an instant, they all stood there frozen, as if they had been hit by an Immobilization Spell.

Only to see that under Lu Yu's avatar, the points that were originally less than 100 suddenly rose to nearly 1300!

The increase was neither more nor less, exactly 1250 points! There was no need to guess who the person betting was.

"He, how did he dare?" Du Hu couldn't help but swallow hard.

Outside the Arena, the crowd was also stunned by this sudden big move.

Over a thousand points? Betting over a thousand points all at once?

Which wealthy tycoon is this? So extravagant? The key is, they are still betting on this newcomer to win! Do they have so many points they don't know where to spend them?

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly someone seemed to have thought of something and said loudly, "Brothers, do you remember that before the previous Arena match started, someone also suddenly bet over three hundred points on the newcomer?"

"I remember, what about it?" Someone asked with a puzzled look.

"You mean!"

"That's right, these thousand-plus points are exactly the result of those three hundred-plus points winning; in other words, these two bets came from the same person! And, this person is probably..." The person speaking looked toward Lu Yu.

The others also followed his gaze one after another.

That's right! This guy hid his strength before, knowing he was a sure winner, he must have bet on himself every time.

The first time was like this, the second time was like this, but who could have thought that he would still dare to do this the third time?

Is he that confident? Even against a D-rank Awakened, he feels he is a sure winner?

Hearing these words, the anger in Jin Boli's heart flared up with a "whoosh".

"You guy, do you really think you can win this time just like the previous two times? Betting on yourself, right? Fine, then I will also bet on myself to win, and let's see who among us can have the last laugh!"

After speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone and tapped it a few times in rapid succession.

It was not just him; the others in the Association were also thoroughly infuriated by this action of Lu Yu.

In less than thirty seconds, the point ratio between Lu Yu and Jin Boli had already reached 1600 to 1!

The odds for Lu Yu reached 6 times, which meant that if one bet correctly, one point could turn into 6 points, and 1250 points could turn into 9600 points in the blink of an eye!
