Chapter 605: Victory Again

“It’s over, it’s over! I can feel Daniel starting to lose his composure!”

“Not just losing composure; he completely lost his mind. That small tree’s attack is clearly indiscriminate and is restrained by the fire laws just like our Tree-Dwelling Tribe. Yet, he still chose to use it.”

“The result is that this treasure not only failed to affect Clay’s offense but also significantly reduced his defense strength, effectively helping Clay to kill him faster!”

“How did a free benefit turn into this?”

“Fortunately, although I also placed bets on Daniel, I didn’t bet too much. Even though I raised my bet several times, it was only one million Low-grade Immortal Stones.”

“I only bet one hundred thousand Low-grade Immortal Stones on Daniel, but that amount is all my savings.”

“Sure enough, benefits aren’t that easy to obtain; surprises always appear unexpectedly.”

In the stands, the audience was utterly disappointed, with many of them even trembling.

They had all placed heavy bets on Daniel’s victory.

What they expected to be an easy benefit was turning into an unexpected disaster that was rare to encounter in hundreds or even thousands of times.

On the platform, Daniel indeed began to panic.

The twelve strong beings had lent him treasures, and he was using them one by one.

However, his actions were completely chaotic. Though he wasn’t as foolish as the small tree, which didn’t affect Yi Chen and instead lowered its own defense, the effects of his use were still minimal.

All of this was because Daniel’s mindset had collapsed and his mind was in disarray.

As a genius who had stood out very early, he had hardly encountered any powerful enemies.

Those from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who were stronger than him avoided him due to his talent limit.

Those who were weaker dared not provoke him.

It was only when he broke into the major realm of level 150 and found the breakthrough slower than expected that he realized he might lack experience and that his mindset wasn’t strong enough.

That’s why he decided to join the coliseum and participate in life-and-death duels, hoping to enhance his mindset through some fierce battles.

But clearly, before his mindset could slowly improve, he was faced with a huge disadvantage he couldn’t handle.

Plus, his luck had been drained, greatly affecting him and further escalating his loss of control.

By the time he had used all the treasures in succession, Daniel’s mindset completely shattered.

He began to recklessly attack Yi Chen.

Giant branches, like massive pillars supporting the sky, came crashing down towards Yi Chen.

Yi Chen did not force a defense; instead, he took advantage of his slight speed advantage to successfully dodge these powerful attacks and unleashing wave after wave of fire.

Caught off guard, Daniel noticed the fire surge too late as it engulfed his massive body in an instant.

Piercing screams echoed continuously within the sea of fire.

A huge shadow flickered in and out within the flames, seemingly trying to break free from the fire.

But it was of no use.

Yi Chen’s body kept moving along with the shifting shadow.

The sea of fire continued to keep the shadow in the central area.

As time passed, the shadow within the sea of fire moved slower and slower.

Daniel’s screams gradually weakened.

Until finally, they disappeared entirely.

Yi Chen waved his hand.

The sea of fire vanished without a trace.

Daniel was nowhere to be found, leaving only a Space Stone behind.

There was no doubt that he had been burned to ashes by the sea of fire.

Yi Chen waved again, and the Space Stone flew before him, safely stored in his storage ring.

The defensive barriers around the arena disappeared.

This battle had officially come to an end.

The victor remained Yi Chen.

…

“They lost, they actually lost…”

“How could he lose? How could he possibly lose?”

“There must be some behind-the-scenes dealings; the coliseum needs to provide an explanation. With Daniel’s strength and the vast amount of treasures he held, how could he lose?”

“Wake up! The Stag Coliseum has maintained its good reputation for hundreds of thousands of years; there can’t be any insider trading. It can only be said that the big shot who bet heavily on Clay was more skilled, successfully using an extraordinary pill and another powerful pill that could enhance Clay’s fire laws, allowing Clay to pull off an upset.”

“That big shot definitely made a huge profit!”

“I’m at a loss for words. For the second round, I had already planned that no matter who Clay’s opponent was, as long as he dared to enter the third life-and-death duel, I would bet on him winning, hoping for another upset. But when I saw the odds, I couldn’t help but bet on Daniel winning instead.”

“This guy, although he won thanks to the extraordinary pills, his own strength is truly astonishing, especially since he is also proficient in fire laws, which was quite unexpected.”

“Otherwise, how could the big shot who bet on him to pull off an upset possibly raise the total amount to over three hundred trillion Low-grade Immortal Stones?”

“I wonder if he will sign up for the fourth Death Duel?”

“I doubt it. If he truly has a big shot backing him, then he has already profited enough from this round.”

“Even if the big shot thinks it’s not enough and plans to let Clay continue participating in the Death Duels, they probably won’t do it in the Stag Coliseum.”

“Because in this round, most of the audience bet on Daniel’s victory, and they lost badly. The betting pool of over thirty billion Low-grade Immortal Stones won’t be back any time soon.”

“Indeed, based on past experience, once there’s a life-and-death duel with such a high total amount, especially if there’s an upset where the minority beats the majority, the betting amounts in the coliseum will be low for several years before gradually recovering.”

In the stands, the vast majority of the audience looked lost and deeply frustrated.

Only a few who successfully bet on the upset wore smiles.

Even though they didn’t have the courage to place heavy bets on the upset, with odds of over thirty to one, even a small bet brought them great profits.

What a delightful experience!

“Damn it!”

In the front row of the stands, a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe suddenly stood up.

His Perception Ability rapidly spread, quickly enveloping the entire Stag Coliseum.

Then, he soared into the sky, leaving the Stag Coliseum.

It seemed his actions triggered something.

Many powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe also seemed to realize something.

They all flew out of the Stag Coliseum.

Their thought was very simple.

Their heavy bets had failed, leading to significant losses.

Even the low-grade powerful treasures were now all in Yi Chen’s possession due to Daniel’s death.

To recover these losses, the only solution was to reclaim them from Yi Chen or the big shot behind him.

However, fighting and looting were strictly forbidden in the Stag Coliseum, and the backer was of elder status within the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

These powerful beings had no courage to act within the Stag Coliseum.

But as long as they could blockade the entire Stag Star, unless the target stayed in the coliseum or had special means to escape quietly, they would inevitably face a dire situation.

The twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, who had sustained heavy losses, implicitly reached some silent agreement, using their Perception Ability to block the entire Stag Star.

They even took their positions, extending their perception to the surrounding star regions.
