After Wu Yingxiong left, it wasn't long before Lu Hongfei and the others arrived in a hurry.

"Are you okay? What did Wu Yingxiong want from you?" Wang Lu asked, somewhat worried.

Chu Chen waved his hand and replied, "It's nothing. I previously asked him to help me purchase some cultivation resources, and he specifically delivered them this time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu immediately showed a look of confusion. If it was about delivering cultivation resources, the other party did not necessarily need to come in person.

Just as Wang Lu was about to ask further, Lu Hongfei interrupted, "Alright, as long as everything's fine."

Hearing this, everyone stopped questioning, but Chu Chen's explanation was somewhat too far-fetched.

"It's getting late, we should head back." Lu Hongfei said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, several people quickly nodded and headed towards Cyan Dragon Academy.

Chu Chen was about to follow when Lu Hongfei held him by the shoulder.

Chu Chen looked at Lu Hongfei with a puzzled expression.

"If there's any trouble, you can tell me. Even if I can't help you, we have the Daoist School behind us."

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, "Really, there's no problem, Director. Rest assured, if something really happens, I will definitely find you."

Hearing this, Lu Hongfei finally relaxed.

Regarding the issue of opening bets, it's not as easy as Wu Yingxiong claimed. This one percent pure profit isn't that easy to earn.

Those who lose money dare not trouble the Wu Family, but can trouble him since he has no background in this Cyan Dragon City.

However, in the face of huge profits, taking some risks is worthwhile. If he can achieve a higher ranking, perhaps he could gain Long Batian's favor, and thus he wouldn't have to worry about his own safety anymore.

As Chu Chen was pondering, they had already returned to their residence.

Today, Wang Lingfeng was more enthusiastic than usual, and the food was more sumptuous.

The meal expenses had already exceeded the standard provided by the academy, meaning Wang Lingfeng paid out of his own pocket to treat them.

Lu Hongfei naturally understood the other's intentions. After enjoying dinner, he took out a bank card and handed it to Wang Lingfeng, saying, "There's two million here, thank you for taking such good care these days."

Wang Lingfeng hurriedly refused, "Director Lu, you mustn't, it's all what I should do."

Lu Hongfei shook his head and said, "This isn't a gratitude fee, it's our meal expenses. They performed well in the exchange match this time, and I intend to treat them to something better. This matter will still trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lingfeng replied promptly, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it, though the money is quite a bit."

Lu Hongfei said solemnly, "Alright, no need to say more."

Wang Lingfeng sensed the displeasure in Lu Hongfei's tone and could only smile and say, "Thank you very much, Director Lu."

After a few casual remarks, Wang Lingfeng found an excuse to leave.

Lu Hongfei's actions were to prevent Chu Chen and others from owing favors.

Since ancient times, favors have been the hardest to repay. If the other party seeks help from Chu Chen and others in the future, they can choose to refuse based on the situation.

Before returning to his room, Chu Chen slipped a bank card to Lu Hongfei.

"There's twenty million here, don't refuse, I'm wealthy now." With that, he quickly left, not giving the other any chance to refuse.

Lu Hongfei watched Chu Chen return to his room, revealing a faint smile.

Come to think of it, it's his first time seeing returned money.

The next day, Lu Hongfei remained as keen as ever, waking everyone up at 5:30.

When Chu Chen and others arrived at the dueling arena, they found even more spectators than the previous day.

However, Chu Chen and his group did not look surprised, as today's competitors were all in the top hundred, naturally more exciting.

Today's schedule was tighter than yesterday's, and by 8:00, the staff began the draw.

Chu Chen's first opponent today was number sixty-eight.

The other came from Qilin City, named Zhou Mo, whose realm had reached the third rank commander level.

At this point, on the audience stand, several elegantly dressed men were whispering discussions.

"That number one must be Chu Chen; Wu Yingxiong's betting target this time is him."

"What did you all bet on? What are the odds?"

"I bet he won't make it into the top twenty-five, the odds are thirty percent, I put in fifty million."

"You're too timid. I have the video of his tower challenge; honestly, his strength is decent, but his tower challenge results have more luck involved. Even if he has hidden tricks, it won't be too strong. I bet he won't make it into the top thirteen, I put one hundred million."

"Your analysis is spot on, but the odds are only twenty percent."

"Just playing around, earning some pocket money. Old Wu is playing big this time; we usually have a good relationship, I don't want him to lose too much."

"Unexpectedly, you're quite decent. I also bet he won't make it to the top thirteen, but I bet ten million that he can make it to the top seven."

"Haha, what are you thinking? How could he possibly make it to the top seven, don't forget, this is the golden generation."

"The odds for the top seven are three times, anyway only betting ten million, winning or losing doesn't matter much. This kid has quite some luck, maybe he can continuously get byes into the top seven."

Hearing this, the few people laughed.

Topics like the ones discussed by these men were abundant throughout the audience, clearly indicating Wu Yingxiong intended to play big this time.

However, this matter had nothing to do with the two on the stage; they opted for a single Guardian Beast battle, clearly having watched Chu Chen's fight with Shi Yan yesterday.

Even with Nirvana able to recover with half its body remaining, such a troublesome opponent, nobody willingly wishes to face.
