Ying Luohong looked at Lan Xuanyu in a daze, she knew about Lan Xuanyu’s commanding ability but not that this kid was also so eloquent. What he said made sense. It seemed that accepting his terms would be profitable and harmless.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes were honest, his tone calm, and his face sincere, “Dean, don’t worry, we will work hard. Moreover, I think us first years can definitely beat the third years this time. I have confidence. In fact, what the audience wants to see is a year-skipping challenge that succeeds. If you were to replace the team randomly, and get defeated in a short time, where is Shrek’s face? If the match is not exciting enough, for the next time, would people still believe us ? Would they still watch our game ? You have to think about it in the long run!”
Tang Yuge suddenly wanted to beat him up right now. Who can definitely defeat us? This guy was really arrogant!
Ying Luohong took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu took a step back subconsciously, “Dean, surely you’re not going to use force to oppress some junior students right ? My teacher knows that I went looking for you.”
Ying Luohong slapped him on the head, “Even if that bastard Tang Zhenhua were here, I would also put him inhis place. You two get out! Only this time, I will allow it. Also, keep your lips shut.”
“Yes, thank you Dean, Dean is mighty, the dean is domineering, you are the spokesperson of fairness, you are the most beautiful teacher in the academy.” Lan Xuanyu spoke a series of compliments quickly, then turned and ran. There was not a single trace of his awe-inspiring look from just before.
Tang Yuge hadn’t reacted yet, and Lan Xuanyu had already disappeared.
“Dean, then I too…” Tang Yuge said hesitantly.
“Get out!”
“Yes.” Tang Yuge also turned and ran.
Looking at the back of the two of them, the anger on Ying Luohong’s face disappeared, and was replaced by a smile, “Lan Xuanyu, this stinky boy, he really has the temperament of a leader! Smart and flexible, and hard-working.” She really felt now this battle between the third and first years, even if the third years were more careful than the last time, with one more person, they might really not be able to win Lan Xuanyu and the others.
Compared to Lan Xuanyu, Tang Yuge was much simpler. They were the captains of their respective teams, and their commanding abilities as captain was often closely related to the final victory.
Thinking of this, Ying Luohong raised her hand to open her soul communicator and dialed a number, “What are the odds given by Shrek Gambling Center now?”
A female voice came from the other side, “Dean, according to the current data analysis, the comparison of the strengths of both sides and the circumstances of the first game, the current odds of winning for the third years are 1 to 23, and the odds for the first years are 1 to 3.6.”
“Huh? Why is it so much worse? Didn’t the first years win the first game?” Ying Luohong said in surprise.
The reason why she agreed to Lan Xuanyu’s condition was simple, the benefits involved were not small. Although the academy was not short on money, the Outer Court and the Inner Court were independent, and many resources of the Outer Court came from the Inner Court. Of course it was always good to make more profits. She, as the dean, had also her share in it.
“It is precisely because the first years won the last time, so this time their odds are so much worse. Actually, the first years’ win was actually very lucky. It was equivalent to five people ganging up on Tang Yuge alone. The other four had depleted their energy due to friendly fire. Moreover, Yuanen Huihui is unlikely to have an instantaneous power outbreak from a Second Awakening. And there is one more person this time in the third years’ team. According to reliable sources, it is Sima Xian.”
“Sima Xian? The Golden Skeleton King, that Sima Xian?” Ying Luohong said in surprise.
“Yes, it’s him.”
“Wasn’t he supposed to be in conflict with Tang Yuge? Since losing to Tang Yuge, he hasn’t made much noise in the third grade.” Ying Luohong said in confusion.
“This battle is related to the honor of the third years, Tang Yuge has persuaded him, and he agreed. Sima Xian is also five-ring, and his combat power is second only to Tang Yuge, if he joins, the gap in strength between both sides is a bit big. The possibility of a mishap happening is even smaller. In terms of five-ring soul masters alone, there are four among the third years this time, and the other two are also the top-tier four-ring. It’s really too difficult for the first years to win. That’s why there are such odds.”
Ying Luohong squinted her eyes slightly, and a slight hesitation could be seen.
Because of Lan Xuanyu and Tang Yuge’s performance just now, she originally wanted to bet on Lan Xuanyu’s team, but after listening to the analysis, she also felt that it was almost impossible to win for the first years. Even if Liu Feng’s Martial Soul had gone through a Second Awakening, the possibility was very slim. After all, Liu Feng was only three-ring, the gap in cultivation was too great. And her fat apprentice, that little fatty was basically useless.
One more person for the third years was a substantial increase. One more for the first years, might on the contrary weaken them. Under these circumstances, it indeed looked like that no matter what it was unlikely that the first years would win.
“Dean, shall we bet this time?” The voice asked from the communication device.
“At the gamble, buy fifty purple emblems for the third years. We’ll make a little money and that’s it.” Ying Luohong finally decided to do it according to her own judgment. Although the income was very low, it was still better than nothing. At least it could compensate for the part that Lan Xuanyu just asked for.
After leaving the teaching building, Tang Yuge saw Lan Xuanyu walking in front, “Lan Xuanyu, stop there.”
Lan Xuanyu stopped, turned his head and looked at her with a smile. He was in a very good mood currently, and he had gotten more than a dozen purple emblems ! This was not a small amount, and even if he lost, he could still have some. This was the most important thing.
“You just said that you can definitely beat us?” Tang Yuge said coldly.
“Yes! Don’t I have the right to just say that casually?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her in surprise.
“Say casually ?” Tang Yuge stared blankly.
Lan Xuanyu said: “Everything I said just now was for getting the Dean to agree to our terms. As the one who benefits from this, you should be happy about it. Even if you lose, everyone will have a purple emblem. And if you win, you will have two. How much do you earn in a year? Enough for several months to cultivate hard without earning emblems, right?”
Yup! That was a lot! Suddenly, the reward was twice as high as the previous reward. Only now did Tang Yuge fully regain her witts. Looking at Lan Xuanyu, she suddenly felt a little scared of this guy. How did he grow such a brain ?
He was only in his first year! It had only been a few months since he arrived at the academy. If a few more years passed, how much more would this guy grow ?
“Your abilities are from your brain, right.” Tang Yuge said in an angry voice, “You have to work hard for your strength, otherwise, you can’t become the first years’ leader.”
“Thanks for senior sister’s concern.” Lan Xuanyu said with a smile.
Tang Yuge didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She felt that if she said more, it might really affect her mindset for the game.
“See you at the game.” After speaking, Tang Yuge strode away.
At this moment, the soul communicator on Lan Xuanyu’s wrist rang.
“Huihui, what’s the matter?” Lan Xuanyu picked up the call.
“Big brother Xuanyu, do you know? The Shrek Gambling has opened a gamble on us.” Yuanen Huihui said mysteriously.
“Shrek Gambling ? What is that?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
Yuanen Huihui said: “Under normal circumstances, a gambling center can only be opened by the Federation, but our Shrek City has a certain degree of autonomy, so we have our own gambling center. Most of them are aimed at Shrek City’s citizens. But Shrek Gambling only accepts our Shrek Academy emblems as stakes, so it is also a very special place here.”
Lan Xuanyu curiously said: “What are the odds?”
