45 Chapter 45: Money

The Valkyrie left with an expression of disbelief on her face. Perhaps she thought Jack was joking, as making money is not easy. But he didn't care whether she believed him or not.

He had already made a stunning performance in the previous game, and his opponents knew how to handle him.

Luckily, his next competition was tomorrow morning, so he didn't have to wait long. The Valkyrie also gave him some news. Firstly, the fact that he was given this room for the championship meant that the Grandmaster valued him greatly.

Secondly, he must win one hundred opponents to win the championship, which is almost impossible for ordinary people. Therefore, there have only been three champions in this place in thousands of years. Jack wants to be the fourth champion, so he must do his best.

"Okay, let me absorb some energy first."

Looking left and right, Jack's gaze fell on the chandelier in the room!

'It should work.'

After motioning for a while and confirming that he could jump up, Jack bent his knees, exerted himself, and jumped onto the ceiling, grabbing the chandelier.

"Lunchtime!"

He grabbed one of the light bulbs and squeezed it hard, instantly crashing it, and then the powerful current flowed into Jack's body through his arm.

"Awesome"

Jack felt so good, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Although the electrical energy absorption was slow, it lasted a long time. Just before the start of the next day's competition, he finally jumped down from the chandelier.

Next day

"Feeling pretty good."

Jack checked his energy reserves, although he didn't have the same energy feeling from absorbing the Cosmic Cube energy, he still had a fair amount.

He decided to use some to strengthen himself and estimated that could easily defeat the Red Skull. He stopped the energy injection and stored the rest for future use.

Just then, the guard arrived to take him to the arena. As he was not yet the champion, Jack still had limited freedom and had to be accompanied by a guard at all times. But he knew his time as champion was coming soon.

He followed the guard to the arena, which was still the same laser cage as before. Perhaps because of his impressive display yesterday, the other gladiators looked at him with a bit of fear and quickly made way for him.

Jack looked around but didn't see the burly man, assuming that he was already in the arena for the next match.

At that moment, a harsh metallic friction sound rang out. Jack turned his head and saw the burly man dragging his large axe out of the passageway.

The burly man had a fierce look in his eyes and was filled with a sense of violence. He was covered in a greenish liquid, probably the blood of some alien creature, and his axe was covered in some remains that looked like animal organs.

"Hehehehe!"

As soon as the burly man entered, he saw Jack, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Two to one!"

Jack covered his nose and mouth with disgust and took two steps back to avoid the disgusting green slime. He rolled his eyes and cursed before quickly walking into the passage, ignoring the burly man. The burly man was left staring blankly at Jack's back.

Entering the arena, there were fewer people in the daytime audience than at night, but quite a few, and the cheers were still strong.

The arena floor still had large bloodstains and organs that had not been cleaned up. Judging from the scene, the fight must have been intense.

This time there was no small talk. Grandmaster didn't even introduce himself and just announced that they were starting.

Jack's opponent this time was a guy with slightly more normal blue skin, who was quite tall at two meters. His bare upper body had some unknown patterns, and he didn't know what they were for.

However, he soon found out.

As soon as the opponent started attacking, the patterns on his body lit up with a red light, and then he waved his hand, unleashing a vast and strange blood-red flame that shot toward Jack.

"This ability is pretty good."

Jack was calm. The flames looked very strange, like blood, and Jack did not intend to let the opponent get close to him without knowing his abilities.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a bolt of lightning gathered in his palm. Then he threw it forward, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm pierced through the flame that the opponent threw. Hitting the blue-skinned man in the chest. The strong bolt even shot through his chest, burning his internal organs

The raging flames slowly dissipated, and the audience realized that Jack had won again.

He clapped his hands as if he had done something unimportant, turned around, and left without any hype.

The audience was silent, not knowing whether to cheer or not. Although the battle was straightforward and decisive, it happened too quickly for them to understand what had happened.

However, the female warrior in the sky looked at Jack thoughtfully, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

This business seems to be really good.

That night, Valkyrie revisited Jack's suite, and after finalizing a series of contracts, she left with satisfaction.

In the two months that followed, the Valkyrie on the planet Sakaar experienced what it meant to be delighted.

Someone opened a new betting pool, which is focused on only one thing: the popular champion fighting competition.

Jack can end the fight with just a few moves, And whether he can

finally, win the championship!

At first, many people scoffed at this betting pool because the tournament was very dangerous and had only won three champions in its thousand-year history.

So basically, no one believed that Jack could win the championship.

Even though he defeated the former champion and popular contender, Scorpion King, this situation has happened more than once or twice over the past thousands of years, and everyone is used to it.

Even though he defeated the former strongest and popular candidate, Scorpion King, this situation has happened more than once or twice over the past thousands of years, and everyone is used to it.

Basically, most people bet that Jack cannot become the champion, let alone how many moves he can use to defeat his opponents in each match.As the saying goes, even though he amazed everyone in the first two matches, no one thought he could become the champion.

So the result was predictable.

In two months, Jack participated in a total of ninety-nine matches, almost all of which were one-move wins, ending the fights before the audience could even react.

At first, some people found it unbelievable, but they became numb to it over time. However, every game was torture for those who had lost a lot of money.

This is the tricky part. Jack and the Valkyrie viciously set up the betting board, with only one chance to place a bet and no changes allowed. In addition, the odds of winning and losing were hugely different.

So when many people saw these terrifying odds, they couldn't resist placing a heavy bet on Jack to lose.

In other words, if Valkyrie had used her real identity when setting up the betting board, she would have become a public enemy long ago.

If those scavengers knew they had been tricked, it would have caused massive trouble.

Despite the high risk, the rewards were equally shared. Jack had won enough money to buy a spaceship in two months. Although it was not luxurious, it was enough for him to fly back to Earth alone.

One night, Valkyrie, who had once again made a fortune, brought two bottles of wine to find Jack.

She came to tell him some news!

"Ares?"

Jack was soaking in the hot spring and caught the wine Valkyrie threw at him. He looked at her in surprise and asked, "My next opponent is Ares. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true. So I came to remind you that Ares is unlike those small fry. You have to be extremely careful!" Valkyrie's expression was serious, showing that Ares was very dangerous.

"Ares?"

Jack smiled, and his gaze became sharp. "He should be the one you telling him to be careful!"
