Placing Bets

As everyone entered their information into the arena platform, on the giant screen above the arena, the candidates for the first round appeared.

Gu Xin and Nono's information appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Level two peak... My luck doesn't seem too good today," Nono said as she looked at Gu Xin.

As early as yesterday, Nono had already gathered a rough idea of the rookies' information, preparing for today's actual combat training.

However, Gu Xin had just arrived at the training ground today, so she knew nothing about Gu Xin's special ability.

Furthermore...

Gu Xin was actually at the level two peak. This was not good news for Nono.

The only thing that made Nono somewhat confident was that her special ability was an elemental-type special ability. She could control fire, and could be considered one of the more powerful special abilities.

Among different superpowers, apart from the differences in emphasis, there were also differences in strength.

Among the most basic strengthening superpowers, very few strengthening superpowers were stronger than the users of the other two superpowers.

Thinking of this, Nono moved closer to Gu Xin and Su Chen.

"Gu Xin, what is your superpower?"

Gu Xin turned around and saw a cute girl staring at him with a smile.

Gu Xin, who rarely interacted with girls of the same age, had never seen such a scene before. She was the one who had come to talk to him!

Immediately, he shyly told him about her superpower, "Uh... my superpower will grow."

"Huh?" Hearing Gu Xin's answer, Nono was dumbfounded.

Grow?

What superpower would grow?

Why did this person talk so strangely?

Su Chen felt the same way as Nono when he saw the confused look on Nono's face.

A few minutes ago, when Gu Xin had just told Su Chen about his superpower, Su Chen had the same reaction.

However, Gu Xin could not explain anything clearly.

Basically, it should belonged to the same type of enhanced superpower as Su Chen.

Gao Fei did not give Nono the chance to get to the bottom of the matter. After confirming the candidate for the match, he directly opened his mouth to speak.

"Contestants, enter the arena! The first match begins!"

Su Chen noticed that Wan Ling was also present today. It should be because Wan Ling was a spirit-type special ability. With her strength, she could control the situation in the arena at the first possible moment.

Once an accident occurred, Wan Ling could stop it in time.

After all, the majority of users of spirit attribute special abilities would use telekinesis to control objects. It was just that the focus of their development was different.

After everyone had finished their preparations, the competition finally began.

Standing in the arena, Gu Xin was clearly a little nervous.

He had just awakened his special ability yesterday. After reporting to The Lighthouse, he was directly dragged to the training center.

Gao Fei roughly told Gu Xin about what had happened in the class yesterday. After that, he directly went to the arena.

It could be said that he did not even know what level of combat power his special ability could reach.

Therefore, standing on the stage, Gu Xin was naturally extremely nervous.

Especially when he saw that the person standing opposite him was none other than Nono, who had talked to him previously, Gu Xin became even more nervous!

Seeing how Gu Xin was cowering, Su Chen felt numb!

Forget about the battle, Su Chen felt that when Gu Xin was facing Nono, it was even worse than facing an Origin Beast!

"Hey, Su Chen, do you want to place a bet?"

Just as Su Chen was worried about Gu Xin, Glasses quietly moved to his side.

Glasses was the newcomer who wore glasses earlier. In order to facilitate his memory, everyone just called him Glasses.

"Place a bet?" Su Chen did not understand what Glasses was saying.

Seeing this, Glasses explained, "It's a bet on the result of the match. The odds for this match are 1:1.

"Gu Xin's power is enhanced, but his power level is at the level two peak. Although Nono is at the beginning of level 2, she's an elemental power, so the odds are 1:1.

"What do you think? Want to place a bet?"

Hearing this, Su Chen's interest was piqued. "I'll place a bet!"

Glasses was quite formal, and the analysis of the two's strength was almost the same as Su Chen's guess.

Seeing that Su Chen was ready to place his bet, Glasses immediately asked, "Then who are you betting on?"

"Well... Gu Xin is my good brother, and he also went on an exploration mission with me. In terms of actual combat experience, he should be a little stronger."

Su Chen pondered and said, "So... I bet on Nono! 10 contribution points!"

"Hmm... Hmm?" Glasses almost did not react. "Aren't you guys good brothers? You're betting on Nono just like that?

"It's precisely because we're good brothers that I believe in Gu Xin's strength! If I bet on Gu Xin, wouldn't I be earning your money for nothing?" Su Chen said righteously.

Hearing this, Glasses frowned. "That... makes sense!"

Su Chen then turned his gaze toward the arena.

In reality, even if he wanted to bet on Gu Xin, Gu Xin had to fight for something!

Seeing Gu Xin standing on the stage, he was already extremely nervous, not to mention a battle. Even if he dared to make a move against Nono, it would still be a problem!

In such a situation, if he were to bet on Gu Xin, would that not be giving away money?!

Right at this moment, the countdown in the arena rang out!

3!

2!

1!

Fighting!

Following the official ringing of the competition bell, the first round of actual combat training officially began!

Nono looked at Gu Xin with a serious expression.

An opponent at level two peak, and like Su Chen, he was also an enhancement-type!

Meeting Gu Xin before challenging Su Chen was also a pretty good start!

Although her power level was slightly lower than Gu Xin's, her chances of winning were not necessarily small!

As long as she did not let Gu Xin get close to her with her fire power, it would be very difficult for her to lose!

Just as Nono was thinking of a countermeasure...

Gu Xin moved first!

Under Nono's nervous gaze, Gu Xin's hand reached behind himself.

This was a good opportunity to observe her opponent's power!

As Gu Xin started to move, the attention of all the rookies present was attracted.

This was the first match. For the others, it was also an advantage, allowing them to understand their opponents earlier!

Under everyone's nervous gazes, Gu Xin took out a compressed biscuit from his back and ate it. Then, he said apologetically to Nono, "I... I want to eat whenever I'm nervous. I'm sorry."

Gu Xin's action immediately broke through the defense of the rookie who had bet on him winning. His face was filled with despair!

"F*ck, how can he win? Isn't his superpower level two levels higher than Nono's?"

"It's over! I have no money for two days of meals!"

"He can't be deliberately going easy on her just because she's a girl, right?"

...

Su Chen was used to it. He understood Gu Xin's habit. He was not going easy on her, but Gu Xin was really nervous.

The newbie who bought Nono's victory had a shocked expression on his face before he started to be ecstatic!

Was this fatty here to give money away?!

"Bang!"

Sitting on the spectator stand, the veins on Gao Fei's forehead bulged as he crushed the cup in his hand.

There were even people who ate during the competition!

This batch of newbies was really f*cking difficult to lead!
