1535 I’m an Idiot! (1)
Two days had passed. On the live chat platform—citizens from all around the Great Qian Empire surged in and waited in front of their screens with great anticipation.
“Grab your seats and get your snacks ready. The last revival round is about to start!”
“What? The last revival round? I’ll log in to the virtual universe right after I’m done with my big business.”
“Impressive!”
“Stop sh**ting immediately!”
“How can someone stop sh**ting? Please be humane.”
“Stop quarreling. The revival round is just starting!”
…
The last revival round began!
It would definitely be an intense battle.
There were two powerful candidates taking part in that round: Yuan Hong and Huang Xinghua. Many wondered who would be the ultimate winner.
Seventy-one warriors had gathered above the arena, waiting for the battle royale to begin.
Yuan Hong and Huang Xinghua stood among the participants. Both looked serious, as this would decide if they could continue on their journey.
Talents like them wouldn’t want to accept defeat; they definitely wanted to gain a higher ranking.
Furthermore, that was their last chance!
Their gazes collided in mid-air, grim and sharp. Competitiveness burned in their hearts.
Both knew they were the two greatest opponents; no one else was worth fearing.
“Start!” said a voice from the light sphere.
Boom!
Explosions occurred above the arena. The seventy-one warriors had been waiting for that moment; all of them immediately moved to attack their nearest opponent.
However, the latter charged towards the others like tigers charging towards a herd of sheep. No one could stop them; they were kicked out, one after the other.
Wade slipped around like an eel, but he was forced into a tight corner by Yuan Hong and Huang Xinghua’s attacks. He felt bitter.
That was probably the end of him.
On Zone 1’s platform—the Second Prince shook his head.
“No one else has a chance with Yuan Hong and Huang Xinghua around,” Timothy said.
“You’re right; they’re too powerful. Neither of them should be in the revival round,” Ji Haochen said.
The Second Prince glanced at the Crown Prince but felt that he wouldn’t get a reply, so he turned and asked Wang Teng, “Wang Teng, who do you think is going to make it?”
The young hero was at the moment having a jolly time collecting attribute bubbles. Huang Xinghua dropped many of the Huang Heaven Blade, so his understanding kept on rising.
He blinked when he heard the prince’s question and smiled. “I’m rooting for Huang Xinghua!
“Huang Xinghua?” The prince thought he had missheard.
Even Timothy and Ji Haochen looked over. They weren’t expecting such an answer.
“Wang Teng, do you dare to make a bet with me?” Strachey suddenly asked. His eyes were shimmering.
“Bet what?” Wang Teng stared at him, showing surprise.
“Since you think Huang Xinghua is going to win, you can bet on him. I’ll bet on Yuan Hong. The loser will have to take his clothes off, stand on the edge of the stone platform, and shout ‘I’m an idiot!’.” Strachey gave his enemy a mocking stare. “Do you dare?”
Everyone’s gazes turned strange when they heard the stakes.
The bet seemed a little… cruel!
The loser would have to strip and shout, claiming to be an idiot!
It would be a major disgrace for the unfortunate one!
It would have been normal to hear such conditions from the cheeky earthling. However, much to their surprise, Strachey was the one who brought it up.
It was completely unexpected, based on his personality. How much did he hate the young hero?
“This bet…” Wang Teng seemed to be in a dilemma. He didn’t finish his sentence.
“Why? You don’t dare?” Strachey fanned the flames.
Wang Teng glanced at Strachey and smiled. He finished his sentence. “…It’s amazing!”
Strachey: …
Something doesn’t feel right.
The Second Prince and the others stared at the earthling, bewildered. Indeed, that was right up his alley. Wang Teng loved these kinds of bets.
Doesn’t Strachey know what kind of person Wang Teng is?
But, since Wang Teng agreed…
Does he honestly think that Huang Xinghua will win?
Yuan Hong seemed stronger at the moment; he had also defeated more opponents. He was two people ahead on the count, versus Huang Xinghua.
“Don’t you want to bet? Let’s bet then.” Wang Teng glanced at everyone and continued, “Be our witness in case someone regrets.”
Strachey hesitated.
This fellow looks extremely confident. He seemed certain that Huang Xinghua would win; that made him look a little stupid. Is he asking to be humiliated?
Does Huang Xinghua have a trump card he hasn’t revealed?
Wait, even if he does, how would Wang Teng know?
He must be bluffing. He can’t reject this, so he’s using this tactic to force me into taking back my words.
Strachey felt he had seen through the young hero’s intentions and snorted. “Don’t judge a nobleman’s mind with the understanding of a lowly person. I swear with the Parkers family’s reputation that I will stand by my words.”
