Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 428 - 400 A Billion
The climax of the Fighting Ring tonight was supposed to be a battle between two Gold Level fighters, but it was canceled just as the match was about to start.
This caused the audience on the scene to curse out loud; they came here tonight for this fight, yet the following announcement made them boil over with excitement again.
Wang Yuan is going to lead his Black Cyclone to challenge Ouyang Qingtian and Li Yuan on the fighting platform.
Holy shit, that's explosive. You have to understand that Wang Yuan's Black Cyclone, Ouyang Qingtian's Wild Bull, and Li Yuan's Iron Crocodile are the three strongest people in the Fighting Ring. There's probably no one but themselves who could take them on.
Just thinking about watching such a fight gets my blood pumping.
The Fighting Ring's promotions are always on point. In just a few minutes, every spectator in every corner of the Fighting Ring knew the stakes. Next was the opening of the betting, allowing the audience to gamble on who could win.
This bout wasn't favored by most because it was Wang Yuan alone taking on Ouyang Qingtian and Li Yuan, two against one. He was already outnumbered, and the quality was the same.
The Casino didn't favor Wang Yuan either, thus offering odds of ten to one against him, while Ouyang Qingtian and Li Yuan's side were at one point five to one, which later dropped to one point three to one due to the sheer number of people betting on them.

Yet, despite this, people continued to bet on them incessantly.
Sitting in the private room, Wang Yuan looked at the statistics compiled by the Casino, his complexion turning green with anger. He complained nonstop to Lin Tian, "Big Brother, look at that, look at those bumpkins; they keep betting on Ouyang Qingtian and that bastard Li Yuan to win. They're so shortsighted. With odds of only one point three to one, is there anything to gain? Betting on us would be so much better—a tenfold return just like that."
"..." Jiang Hui watched Wang Yuan ranting and couldn't help twitching his mouth; by now, he had changed into a new set of clothes and had bandages wrapped around his hands, looking every bit like a fighter.
"Won't you guys talk? Tell me I'm right, won't you?" Wang Yuan called out, unsatisfied.
"Pfft..."
Bai Xiaoluo couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw him like this. Covering her mouth, she was utterly adorable and playful, which instantly earned her a look of deep resentment from Wang Yuan. "Xiaoluo, what are you laughing at?"
"Hee hee ... Nothing, nothing, you just look like a complaining wife right now." Bai Xiaoluo giggled.
"..." Hearing Bai Xiaoluo say he looked like a complaining wife, Wang Yuan suddenly had a forehead full of black lines. Damn it, I, Wang Yuan, am suave and debonair, a true gentleman—how could I look like a complaining wife? Can you even speak properly? Can't you?
"Alright, so they aren't betting on us, right?" Lin Tian said with an unconcerned smile. "We can just bet on ourselves."
"Yes, we can bet on ourselves," Wang Yuan exclaimed upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Tian with a conflicted face. "Big Brother, are we really going to bet on ourselves?"
"Get lost..." Lin Tian looked at him and knew he didn't believe they would win either; with that mentality, yet he still had the nerve to urge others to bet on them. What was he thinking—why not go fuck a dog?
"One billion on us to win," Lin Tian said as he pulled out a Black Card and tossed it to Wang Yuan.
"Hiss..." Wang Yuan looked at the Black Card in his hand and involuntarily took a sharp breath. His gaze towards Lin Tian was full of curiosity; he still didn't know Lin Tian's identity, but given that Lin Tian had casually thrown down a billion, he figured the man's background must be remarkable.
Jiang Hui also looked at Lin Tian with astonished eyes, a peculiar light flickering in his pupils, evidently deep in thought. Watching his fist clench and unclench, it seemed he was struggling to make some decision.
"Big brother, you're really rich. I'm going to hang with you from now on; just don't forget about me, okay?" Wang Yuan said obsequiously, then scurried out with the card in hand.
Seeing this, Lin Tian felt a wave of nausea. Dammit, is this guy really from the Wang Family? How can he have no integrity? No backbone?
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoluo couldn't stop laughing, covering her mouth.
Once out of the private room, Wang Yuan, holding the card, ran straight to the betting station, and his demeanor as a spoiled young master was unmistakable.
"Move, move! Don't get in this young master's way. Do you want to die? You think I won't kill you?" he yelled as he forced his way through the crowd.
The people he pushed aside all looked angry, but when they saw who he was, they could only hold back, cursing in their hearts that this jerk would eventually be impotent.
Arriving at the betting station, Wang Yuan confidently took out his card and declared, "Put all the money on me to win."
"Alright, young master Wang." The people at the Fighting Ring recognized Wang Yuan. Seeing him, they said nothing but simply nodded with a smile. However, when they saw the amount on the card, they couldn't help but bug out their eyes. It took quite a while before they stammered, "Wang, young master Wang, are you sure you want to bet it all?"
"Nonsense, didn't I just say that? Bet it all," Wang Yuan said, relishing their expressions. Dammit, got scared, didn't you? Surprised, huh? Never seen so much money before? I was startled myself at first.
"Gulp..." The betting clerk swallowed hard at his words and then called out, "Recorded: Young Master Wang bets on himself to win, ten billion."
"Hiss..."
The surrounding crowd, hearing this, widened their eyes in shock and took sharp breaths. What? Did they hear that right? A ten billion bet? That's just too rich, isn't it?
Looking at Wang Yuan, everyone was filled with shock, many cursing inside. We get that you're rich, but you don't have to flaunt it like this, right? It's so demoralizing, and it really hurts people's feelings.
What they didn't know was that Wang Yuan was just as shocked. Ten billion, goddammit, wasn't it supposed to be just one billion? Wang Yuan felt like crying without tears, and the thought of dying crossed his mind. He never dreamed that Lin Tian's card would hold ten billion. He had heard Lin Tian mention betting one billion and thought that was all there was, so he said to bet it all, but now, what a huge blunder it had become.
Backing out was out of the question; he wasn't going to lose face like that. But if he lost, he truly would have to sell his butt—not only would he owe ten billion to those bastards Ouyang Qingtian and Li Yuan, but there was also this huge sum here.
Wang Yuan's face was truly green, and with a heart heavy with an indescribable gloom, he returned to the private room.
"Huh? What's with you, kid? It was just a simple bet, right? Why has your face gone all pale?" Lin Tian said, noticing Wang Yuan's obvious distraction and raising an eyebrow in surprise.
"I, I..." Wang Yuan opened his mouth to say something but found he didn't know how to explain. It took him a while to force out, "Big brother, I placed the wrong bet."
