The lean man descended from the arena, wearing a victorious smile on his face. Clearly, he didn't consider the pain on his body to be anything significant.
Just as the man had recently stepped onto the arena, another person ascended to the stage and called out to the audience, "Who wants to challenge me?"
Upon this man's arrival on the stage, the voice of the Blood Arena referee immediately sounded.
"Zheng Zishi, Red Realm Second Stage, has participated in seven battles in the Blood Arena and emerged victorious in all of them!"
Upon hearing about this man's strength, there was a brief commotion among the spectators in the stands. It was evident that many people were eager to try their luck.
In the Blood Arena, the strength of the Red Realm Second Stage was already formidable. It was unnecessary for those with insufficient strength to seek unnecessary suffering.
Zheng Zishi had a smug smile on his face as he provocatively scanned the audience on the elevated platform, waiting for someone to challenge him.
Shortly after learning about Zheng Zishi's strength, another man stepped onto the arena and stood opposite him.
"I'll have a match with you!"
Zheng Zishi nonchalantly examined the man in front of him, nodding and saying, "Sure! Just be careful not to get beaten up by me!"
Once the two men decided to engage in a battle, the competition did not begin immediately. The Blood Arena referee promptly approached to record the identity of the other person.
This was a customary practice in the Blood Arena. Before each battle, the Blood Arena would collect information on the two participants to facilitate betting among the spectators.
Similarly, the victorious participants would receive a certain percentage of the bets placed.
"Wang Shaojun, Red Realm Second Stage, has participated in five battles in the Blood Arena and emerged victorious in all of them!"
"Now, you can start placing your bets!"
Zheng Zishi waved his fist and exclaimed, "I will definitely emerge victorious! Haha."
Wang Shaojun, unwilling to be outdone, retorted, "I am the true victor!"
The gazes of the crowd lingered on the two men for a moment, and soon, the spectators in the stands headed towards the betting counters in the Blood Arena.
Clearly, the only way to pique their interest during the arena match was through betting.
Similarly, Bai Li Hongzhuang observed Zheng Zishi and Wang Shaojun. Although Zheng Zishi was slightly older than Wang Shaojun, and their strengths were similar, Bai Li Hongzhuang believed that Zheng Zishi had more experience.
If her assumptions were correct, Zheng Zishi should have reached the Red Realm Second Stage earlier than Wang Shaojun.
In theory, Zheng Zishi had a higher chance of winning in their match. However, Bai Li Hongzhuang chose to bet on Wang Shaojun.
That's because she caught a fleeting glimpse of ruthlessness and ferocity in Wang Shaojun's eyes. Evidently, Wang Shaojun was also a wolf, just not as overt as Zheng Zishi.
Considering the pros and cons of both participants, Bai Li Hongzhuang decided to gamble on Wang Shaojun's victory.
After all, in a battle, factors other than strength also influenced the outcome.
When Bai Li Hongzhuang approached the betting counter, she also noticed the betting odds for the two participants. Zheng Zishi had a payout ratio of 1 to 0.5, while Wang Shaojun had a payout ratio of 1 to 3.
Even with these odds, Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't hesitate in the slightest and confidently placed a bet of 50,000 gold coins on Wang Shaojun's victory.
Upon seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's bet, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the onlookers. They didn't expect this newcomer to be so bold.
