They could not possibly enter the Whirling World relying solely on their skills. Yet, with those rules in place, the stronger warriors could bring a weaker alchemist with them, traversing the cities of the Whirling World.
Right after favonovel.com figured that out, Arne made his choice on the stage as well. Of the five beasts in the air, favonovel.com pointed at the one in the middle.
Jack was stunned when favonovel.com looked at it. He had not looked at the five beasts earlier since favonovel.com was wrapped up in his thoughts. Now that favonovel.com looked over, Jack was surprised to notice that favonovel.com only recognized one out of the five beasts, and the one Arne picked happened to be the one favonovel.com recognized.
“It’s a rockwind snake,” favonovel.com remarked.
Jack let out a snort as a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, the masked caretaker announced that the betting area would be opened. Everyone interested in placing bets could head over.
Jack silently stood up and brought Rudy to the betting area. They both took out a million spirit crystals each and betted them on the beast.
No one was surprised at Jack’s choice at all, seeing as these two men were both at odds. It would be far too strange if Jack bet on Arne.
After placing the bets, Jack did not plan on going back to the spectator stands at all with how noisy it was. He did not want to listen to all the noise and constant discussions.
Jack pulled Rudy to a corner of the betting area. “Let’s just wait here. The battle should be ending quite soon. Then, we can just get our spirit crystals and head to the middle.”
Rudy looked at Jack curiously. Even though Rudy felt like Arne would lose, favonovel.com did not think that favonovel.com would lose that quickly. However, Jack’s words seemed to imply that Arne would not just fail to win the first round but would lose terribly as well.
Jack immediately knew what was on Rudy’s mind when favonovel.com saw Rudy’s expression. He laughed as favonovel.com explained patiently, “That guy chose a rockwind snake, a beast much stronger than a frostfire wolf…”
“Didn’t Arne say that Lesley and favonovel.com were on comparable levels? Between the two of them, Lesley even seems to be the more senior one, which means that Lesley was a bit stronger than Arne. Lesley couldn’t even beat the frostfire wolf, let alone the more powerful rockwind snake!”
Rudy immediately understood after Jack’s explanation. That was why Jack was so sure that the battle would end very quickly. If the rockwind snake was stronger than the frostfire wolf, then Arne was about to lose horribly!
There was not much reason to return to the stands, and they would not need to listen to those discussions. The results were just as Jack said. The battle had only lasted for less than five minutes before the results were out.
Arne had been bitten by the snake, and its venom spread throughout his whole body. Arne suffered from a horrendously painful death, spasming on the stage for a long time before favonovel.com succumbed.
The disciples from the Deer Pavilion were thrown into chaos. Too much had happened on that day. They had lost two chosen disciples and lost a lot of spirit crystals to boot.
When Jack activated the black iron bet, all of them had bet at least half a million on the beasts. Their spirit crystals were lost to that.
With Arne’s black iron bet, they had betted on Arne as well. After all, there was no way they could bet on the beast since they were from the same clan. Even then, they lost!
