Tina’s 10th Dimension, Orleans City Big Arena.
Last time because of Dima’s affair, Tina had dueled here with the female knight.
But last time Tina and the female knight were only at stage one, caused a minor impact, with only about two to three thousand people in the stand.
But this time, Tina was promoted to the fourth stage! And her opponent was a fourth stage instructor!
Fourth stage was already considered upper-middle strength in Orleans City, for the citizens of Orleans City, these are unattainable persons of great importance!
Hearing the news about two bigwigs going to duel in the arena, the whole Orleans City was stirred!
The city’s residents spread the news and brought family and friends to watch the battle.
The whole arena was packed, with nearly thirty thousand seats filled, and even in passageways, many people were sitting or standing.
The grand arena was bubbling with people, the audience waving their arms and cheering loudly, anticipating the start of the duel.
Three minutes before the start of the duel, Tina, dressed in golden armor and riding a unicorn, slowly came out from the east gate of the duel arena.
Seeing Tina come out, the crowd’s eyes were instantly focused on her.
This was Tina’s first time being watched by so many people at the same time, she felt slightly jittery.
But remembering the humiliation she received from Instructor Megan at the banquet, and also, in front of Nemesis, Tina’s heart immediately ignited flames of rage.
She clenched her fists: “Today, I will surely beat you!”
Seeing the imposing Tina, there was, suddenly, a thunderous cheer from the stands:
“Look, this is the fourth stage unicorn knight!”
“Wow, the golden outfit looks so beautiful!”
“What a majestic unicorn! I wonder if I could touch it one day in my lifetime!”
“Tina is a girl from a common family, I will always support you! Go for it!”
Among these cheers, there were also quite a few discordant voices:
“Ha, this is that fourth-stage trash that forcibly enhanced their stage with drugs? I bet she will lose!”
“Forcibly enhancing with drugs? How do you know?”
“Nonsense, do you need to know? She was stage one a month ago and she is at stage four now. You think she didn’t use any forbidden drugs and cultivated all by herself, would you believe that?”
“He-he, you are right, the combat power of one who forcibly enhances with drugs is not that great, Tina will surely lose this time!”
“A forced-enhancement fourth-stage trash versus an experienced fourth-stage instructor, whoa, this is like giving us money!”
“How much did you bet?”
“2000 spiritual energy coins.”
“2000! so much?”
“Of course! The odds at Vina·Black Gold’s side was 1.19:5.69, only by betting on Instructor Megan can you get 19% profit, how could I not bet more?”
“1.19:5.69, hearing you makes me want to bet too!”
“Want to bet then hurry up! Otherwise, the odds will decrease again.”
After Tina appeared, Megan, dressed in silver armor and riding a unicorn, exited from the west gate of the arena.
The stand erupted with cheers again:
“Go Megan!”
“Take down that disrespectful little girl!”
“All my money is on you, you can’t lose!”
“Show us the grace of the Unicorn Knights’ instructors!”
Facing the cheers from the stands, Instructor Megan’s brows furrowed.
She hated the ants in the stands pointing fingers at her. Moreover, this environment reminded her of the gladiatorial arena, in which she was no different from a dueling beast.
Regardless, as long as she defeated Tina, she could attain tremendous honor as well as 100,000 spiritual energy coins. Her family could also hitch a ride on the Windsor Family, leading to their revival!
With this notion, Megan cast aside her distractions and aimed her lance at Tina, “Tina, today I will give you a good lesson, you have to pay the price for disrespecting seniors and elder sisters!”
Tina didn’t bother to argue, coldly responding, “Well then, come and try it. I will not lose!”
Simultaneously, she silently said to herself, “Even if it’s for the house, I absolutely cannot lose!”
Before this duel started, persuaded by Su Yu, Tina mortgaged her house for 200,000 spiritual energy coins, all of which were bet on her own victory in Vena Blackgold’s betting pool.
If she won, she could receive millions of spiritual energy coins. If she lost, she’d be homeless.
Tina raised her head and glanced at the highest stands where Su Yu was located and subtly nodded.
This duel, she must win, not lose!
At the highest stadium stands in the big arena, Su Yu stood here, overlooking the entire duel field.
Beside him stood a short goblin with green skin, who was none other than [Vena·Black Gold].
At this moment, Vena·Black Gold respectfully bowed to Su Yu, saying, “Nemesis boss, everything has been arranged according to your wishes.”
“Hmm, okay then, the duel is about to start, let’s watch the duel first.” Su Yu beckoned Vena·Black Gold to stand by his side.
The story of Su Yu and Vena·Black Gold began two days ago.
As mentioned earlier, Vena·Black Gold went bankrupt because of gambling and owed a butt load of gambling debts.
Under the compulsion of the creditor, Vena·Black Gold decided to end his life by jumping into the river so as not to burden his family.
Two days ago, he was preparing to jump into the Moonlight River.
Upon receiving news from Vena·Black Gold’s friend—Bear Andrew, Su Yu arrived in time to save him at the river.
After saving Vena·Black Gold, Su Yu only said one sentence to him: “Vena·Black Gold, you don’t need to die. I have a way to help you pay your debts. The proviso is that you join my territory and become my subordinate.”
Then, Su Yu’s territory gained another epic talent.
[Vena·Black Gold]
Epic

Trait 4:[Guild Management]: Proficient in guild operation and management. When running a guild, guild operation efficiency +30%.
Vena·Black Gold is the second epic talent in Su Yu’s territory.
After Vena·Black Gold joined, Su Yu helped him pay off all his debts, totaling 2.3 million spiritual energy coins.
Is it worth it to spend 2.3 million spiritual energy coins to acquire an epic talent? The answer is definitely no.
But Su Yu didn’t regret it, because he could make use of Vena·Black Gold’s [Open a Betting Pool] trait to earn even more spiritual energy coins!
At that time, instructor Megan happened to provoke Tina at the banquet.
So, Su Yu instigated Tina to duel Megan at the big arena in Orleans city.
At the same time, to form an “Interest Community” with Tina, he let her mortgage her house to participate in the bet.
The last time, Su Yu participated in a bet, the maximum wager was only limited to one million spiritual energy coins.
Now that Su Yu is personally running the bank, the money he can earn is limitless!
By the time Tina wins the game, they will have made a fortune!
