"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing Shiya Jie suddenly laugh, Yang Yan couldn't help but curiously ask.
Shiya Jie paused for a moment, then explained with a smile:
"I'm laughing because I also had dreams of being a heroine when I was little. I used a straight stick as a sword and waved it around haphazardly."
"Looking back now, I was really silly! Just thinking about it makes me laugh."
Hearing this, Yang Yan also flashed a knowing smile.
Indeed!
As long as you have watched martial arts movies and novels from Huaxia, who hasn't had a martial arts dream?
"Boss, what are you guys doing here?"
Just as Yang Yan and Shiya Jie were chatting idly, Fatty cluelessly walked over.
"What else could we be doing? Watching the competition!"
Yang Yan lightly chuckled and retorted:
"But you, what were you doing over there just now?"
When Fatty took out his computer, Yang Yan already noticed it.
Moreover, he knew it had something to do with him.
However, Yang Yan wasn't sure what exactly Fatty was doing.
Now that he seized the chance, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"Hehe! Just analyzing the boss's combat power, to see if I should borrow some money to place a bet in the upcoming match."
"Opportunities like this might only come once in a lifetime. If I miss it, I'd regret it to death."
Fatty said with a smile.
"Forty-six split!"
Yang Yan said out of the blue:
"If you agree, then you can go borrow money."
"Boss, you're not serious?"
Upon hearing Yang Yan wanting a cut, Fatty's brows nearly wrinkled into a knot.
He said with a wailing face:
"Can't you place the bet yourself? Anyway, you just can't bet on yourself losing, it's not like you can't bet on yourself winning."
Just as Yang Yan was about to say something more, Situ Tingting seemed a bit unable to stand it and quietly reminded:
"Alright, you two stop bickering, they're about to determine the winner, and our match is next."
She looked at Yang Yan again as she spoke.
"I've accepted your proposal, you'll go up alone in the next match! Otherwise, I'd just drag you down."
Situ Tingting said through gritted teeth.
It seemed that this decision was very difficult for her.
"Oh? What made you think it through?"
Yang Yan asked in confusion.
The last time he asked her not to go on stage, she wouldn't agree no matter what!
What happened?
She changed her mind so quickly!
"Fatty is right, I'm not made for fighting, and today's match is very important, I don't want to drag you down."
Situ Tingting stared at Yang Yan, saying seriously.
Yang Yan nodded, eyes shining brightly:
"Alright, you can just watch from here! From now on, I'll quickly solve the matter here."
Seeing Yang Yan's attitude, Situ Tingting said with some worry:
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Don't do anything reckless!"
Yang Yan waved his hand indifferently, lightly saying:
"Don't worry, I won't be reckless. But, I really don't have time to waste here."
"Besides, after those guys forfeit the matches, I think I only have this one chance to go on stage."
Immediately, Yang Yan turned to Fatty with a cold voice:
"Fatty, I'll ask one last time, are you in for the forty-six split or not?"
"I'm in! How could I not be in for something that guarantees money?"
Fatty seemed to suddenly remember something, nodding hastily.
"Then what are you standing there for? Go borrow money and place the bet! They've determined the winner below, it's my turn."
Yang Yan lifted his foot and gave Fatty a hard kick on the butt, saying irritably.
As Yang Yan said, the match inside quickly had a winner.
However, because both sides were about evenly matched, even the winning side had hardly any combat strength left.
"Next, we have contestant number three stepping up."
After the staff carried the two people off the stage, the referee loudly called out.
Because the match had no restrictions on means or life and death, referees here usually didn't have much to do.
Their main role was to prevent people from the audience from causing trouble, and besides that, just calling the next contestant up.
The rule of the match was the same as last time, still a two-person team.
However, since Situ Tingting was no longer participating, Yang Yan would be competing alone from now on.
"Who is that guy? How dare he go on stage alone, isn't he afraid of getting beaten to death?"
Someone outside the ring looked at Yang Yan with disdain and said.
"No idea, I haven't seen this person before, but he should be a reinforcement hired by the Heaven and Earth Society."
Someone looked from afar, as if trying to see something from him.
"I originally came today hoping to see Situ Tingting! I heard she's a rare beauty!"
A Huaxia man said somewhat disappointedly.
"Damn it, who is this pretty boy? Where's Situ Tingting?"
"We want to see Situ Tingting, hurry and get her on stage."
...
"Quiet! While the match is going on, all of you down there keep quiet, or I'll make sure you regret it."
The referee glanced at the people below and said coldly.
Referees able to work in places like this were naturally not weak.
When the referee said this, he exuded a menacing aura.
The people around were also intimidated by him.
"Where is your partner? Do you think you can handle both of us alone?"
Yang Yan's opponents were a pair of identical twins.
Moreover, their every move appeared very coordinated, as if they were telepathic.
"Hey ref, I want to ask if I can challenge all the contestants by myself?"
Yang Yan ignored the twins, instead turning to seriously ask the referee.
"What? What did you say?"
Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the referee was stunned.
"I'm saying, continuing like this is a waste of time. Since only one person can get the Eight Trigrams Diagram in the end, why don't you let those guys come up together, to save everyone's time."
Yang Yan said seriously.
A stone thrown into a still lake stirred a thousand ripples!
Honk!
As Yang Yan repeated his words loudly, the people outside suddenly erupted into excited murmurs, one by one looking at him in astonishment.
Can't stop boasting, can you?
They never expected someone would dare to say that.
"What's that guy saying? Did he say let all contestants come up at once?"
Someone outside the ring couldn't believe what they'd heard, instinctively rubbed their ears, then widened their eyes and asked the person next to them.
