Chapter 548: Golden Battle Stage
The underground gambling hall was flourishing due to the recent influx of geniuses at the capital. Each had great backing behind them so they had plenty of money.
Many came to bet. Even big shots would show up sometimes with enough spirit stones to make others gasp.
This place naturally had a powerful force behind it too. This remained a mystery but many guessed that it was one of the four great clans.
The hall lord was a skinny old man that had lived for more than 600 years. His cultivation was unfathomable with an ethereal body resembling a phantom with long, long hair.
“10,000 spirit stones?” His eyes seemed to have two ghosts there, causing others to be afraid.
“Yes. A youth with a black hat bet 10,000 stones on Feng Ergou.” A fourth-level Heaven’s Mandate old man kneeled on the ground with his head lowered, completely intimidated by this hall lord.
“What’s the odds?” This lord’s eyes gave no insight into his thoughts, only a muddy expanse.
“1 to 30.”
“1 to 30?” His voice grew colder, clearly furious.
1 to 30 for the first place was an acceptable risk due to the difficulty. However, 1 to 30 to make it to the second round and the opponent was confident enough to bet 10,000? Clearly Feng Ergou had a great chance of doing so.
The hall would need to pay 300,000 if he were to win. This was a monstrous sum. A large mine excavated for several hundred years wouldn’t necessarily be able to yield it.
The hall lord spoke with a deeper tone: “And all of you still haven’t figured out this Feng Ergou’s identity?”
