Chapter 97 Restricting the Use of Summoned Creatures
Just as Mo Fan was happily collecting the money, Bai Zangfeng, Zhuang Lifeng, and Shen Shanhe arrived at Mo Fan's stall. Bai Zangfeng looked down at him and said, "I heard you're the bookmaker here. I'm betting on Senior Yao Bin to win. I'll put up 100,000."
"I'll bet 20,000 on Yao Bin to win." Shen Shanhe also transferred the money to Mo Fan.
Zhuang Lifeng chuckled and said, "Brother Mo Fan, I don't have much money, so I'll bet eight hundred. I hope you don't mind."
He's not an idiot like Bai Zangfeng; he wouldn't do a deal that's guaranteed to lose money. He only bet 800 yuan to have some fun. As for the result, Jiang Han will probably win.
"It's fine, any bet is welcome," Mo Fan said with a smile.
Bai Zangfeng saw that Zhuang Lifeng had only bet eight hundred yuan and mocked, "Oh, is this still our young master Zhuang? Betting only eight hundred yuan is too stingy."
Shen Shanhe muttered to himself, "Damn, did I bet too much? If Jiang Han wins, my 20,000 yuan will be wasted. Jiang Han is strong, but he can't possibly be stronger than Senior Yao Bin, can he?"
In the number one arena below, Jiang Han stands opposite this thin young man, who is none other than Jiang Han's opponent, Yao Bin.
Jiang Han patted Xue Ling in his arms and put her down. As soon as she landed, Xue Ling returned to her size of several meters. She occupied most of the arena, leaving Yao Bin with nowhere to stand. At such close range, Xue Ling could send Yao Bin away with a single breath of ice.
Dean Xiao, sitting in the leadership seat, looked rather displeased. He hadn't expected Jiang Han to release a summoned beast in this kind of arena competition. A warrior-level summoned beast attacking a mid-level mage at point-blank range—this guy really had no conscience.
It takes at least seven or eight mid-level mages to deal with a general-level demon. If Jiang Han releases a general-level snow spirit in this arena, even if Yao Bin is very capable, he will be crushed.
"Quiet! The match is now starting!" Zheng Song, director of the Ice Academy at the Qingdao Campus, called out loudly.
The previously noisy Qingdou Arena instantly fell silent. Zheng Song glanced pityingly at Yao Bin on the number one arena before retreating outside the barrier. He had already seen Xue Ling's strength during the match; a warrior-level opponent was indeed a bit too much.
On the number one arena, Yao Bin glanced at Xue Ling, who had transformed into a several-meter-tall creature, swallowed hard, and said, "Junior Brother Jiang Han, isn't what you're doing a bit unfair? Why are you using a summoned beast in a friendly match?"
"Oh, they said we can't use summoned beasts in friendly matches? You can use them if you have any," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"You...you're really quick-witted. Well then, let's settle this with our skills." As soon as Yao Bin finished speaking, a brownish-yellow starlight flashed around him, and the ground rippled, pushing Yao Bin to a safe position.
Xue Ling showed no intention of using her claws. Instead, she nuzzled Jiang Han with her head, revealing an extremely enjoyable expression, leaving the other spectators speechless. This is a competition, for crying out loud! At least be serious!
Seeing that Xue Ling and Jiang Han showed no intention of making a move, Yao Bin sneered, "Arrogant! You'll see later."
After speaking, Yao Bin began to construct a star map. Several sky-blue star trails appeared around him, and the temperature of the arena suddenly dropped, with the ground beginning to freeze. Within a few breaths, the entire arena was covered in ice.
Just as the ice-based star map beneath Yao Bin's feet was nearing completion, Xue Ling moved swiftly and slapped Yao Bin with her claw.
Yao Bin, who was constructing the ice-type star map, looked up and saw a huge, furry claw growing larger and larger. Before he could react, he was slapped off the stage. The whole process, from start to finish, was over in less than five minutes.
"Holy crap, the competition's over just like that? My senior's gone in the time I was in the bathroom?"
"It's a bit fast, huh? This match feels like a one-sided massacre to me."
"I have a feeling that if Jiang Han's summoned beast had attacked immediately, Senior Yao wouldn't have even had a chance to escape."
"You know what, it's actually possible. It seems Jiang Han held back during the freshman welcome competition."
As soon as Jiang Han's match on the number one arena ended, the audience started discussing it. The main reason was that Jiang Han's match ended too quickly. While the other arenas were still in full swing, his match was already over. Anyone who didn't know better would think that senior Yao Bin was throwing the match.
The moment the match on Arena One ended, Mo Fan grinned and started stuffing money into his pocket. He'd made a killing this time, earning at least several hundred thousand. Mo Fan was rolling in money, but his brother, who had bet on Yao Bin to win, was crestfallen. Who would have thought that Yao Bin, the senior from the main campus, would lose so decisively?
Not everyone can afford to lose. Bai Zangfeng stood in front of Mo Fan and shouted, "Give me my money back! I'm not betting anymore!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you young master Bai, you can't take a joke." Zhuang Lifeng wasn't about to miss this opportunity to kick someone when they're down.
"Who says I can't afford to play? Do you really think I'm short of money?" Bai Zangfeng said, his tone fierce but his voice weak.
After the matches on the other arenas concluded, Zheng Song, the head of the Ice Department at the Qing Campus, announced the results in a loud voice: "Jiang Han is the winner of Arena Number One, Cao Man is the winner of Arena Number Two, Zheng Yu is the winner of Arena Number Three..."
"Ahem, there's another new competition rule to add: summoned creatures are not allowed to participate."
"Director Zheng, isn't what you're doing a bit excessive? Restricting summoned creatures from participating makes me question the fairness of this friendly match," Jiang Han said casually, standing on the number one arena.
"Summoning creatures that are too large will limit the performance of other players. After all, the arena is only so big, and we don't intend to target any particular person," Zheng Song said righteously.
Jiang Han snorted coldly and said nothing. After all, one has to bow one's head when under someone else's roof. At worst, he could get revenge later.
Hearing that the next competition will restrict the participation of summoned creatures, many students in the Qing Campus have their eyes light up again. Restricting the participation of summoned creatures is equivalent to cutting Jiang Han's combat power in half, which means that they have a chance to beat Jiang Han?
Many students from the Qing Campus are itching to try their luck, as the temptation to defeat Jiang Han is too great.
"Hey guys, how about we give it a shot? What if we beat Jiang Han?"
"I'll sign up right away. I want to give it a try; who knows, I might win!"
"I think it's feasible. I just did some calculations and found that Jiang Han's strength is greatly reduced without summoning creatures. We have a 90% chance of winning if we challenge him next."
"Go for it! For the honor of our Qing Campus, we must join forces to take down that devil Jiang Han!"
So the students from the Qing Campus started to sign up. The registration was mainly concentrated at Jiang Han's No. 1 Arena. There were more than a dozen intermediate-level students, and quite a few beginner-level students went up to join in the fun, completely forgetting how the beginner-level mages had been sent up to be eaten alive before.
By evening, Jiang Han had fought six arena matches. Apart from the mid-level mages who were a bit troublesome, the beginner mages were all eliminated shortly after entering the arena. They didn't even last eight seconds from entering the arena to being eliminated. Tsk tsk, they were all miserable.
After the friendly match ended today, Mo Fan approached with a smile and said, "Jiang Han, I didn't expect you to be even stronger after just a few months."
"Get lost, spit it out if you have something to say." Jiang Han said impatiently.
"Well, here's the thing, I'm planning to set up a stall and run a gambling den these next couple of days to make some extra money. I just wanted you to do me a little favor, which is to throw the game a bit, hehe," Mo Fan said with a grin.
"You dare to ask me to throw the game in a competition like this? You really have the nerve to say that!" Jiang Han glared at Mo Fan and said.
What kind of terrible ideas is this guy coming up with? Making him throw the friendly match is just a way to make him give up his chance to cultivate at the Three-Step Tower. Jiang Han will not give up cultivating at the Three-Step Tower.
