The disciples of the Dongyang Sect swallowed hard when they heard that one hundred spirit stones were bet on a precious sword, considering that their reward for this mission was only five stones.
Li Boyang was also somewhat astonished. This prince was indeed very wealthy and could take out a hundred spirit stones so easily. Although they were low-grade spirit stones, his own wealth was only five spirit stones so far.
However, Li Boyang was somewhat surprised to see that the sword, which he wondered what it was made of and how valuable it was. He noticed Wang Qiang's somewhat disdainful expression when he heard that it cost one hundred yuan stones.
Actually, the task of receiving guests was originally Wang Qiang's responsibility, but Wang Fei intervened and took it away, which led to Wang Qiang coming to cause trouble for Wang Fei.
Seeing that the other party had finally agreed, Wang Qiang sneered, "It'll be inside the arena. You can tell me the rules of the betting, Second Brother. I agree to everything."
"If I unfortunately win, I will give all of my Yuan Stones to you True Immortals."
As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, the disciples of the Dongyang Sect all showed joy. This was an unexpected gain. At the same time, they suddenly found Wang Qiang, who had come to cause trouble, very agreeable.
"Third brother is indeed generous, then second brother should not be stingy either. Just like second brother, I will gladly accept the prize from Baolong, and as for the spirit stones, I will give them to you all."
Wang Fei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. This guy was forcing him into an awkward position. Could he really say that if he won, he would give the sword to the disciples of the Dongyang Sect? There was only one sword, and it wouldn't be enough to share.
"Second Brother, you're so straightforward. Tell me the terms of the bet."
For the first time, Wang Qiang smiled. He had already gained an advantage before the game even started, so it wasn't a loss. Even if he lost, it wouldn't matter; it was just material possessions.
Wang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let's bet on the winner of the next gladiatorial match."
He didn't dare to be too blatant. These rules were already more favorable to him than the ones that had come to the arena to entertain the Dongyang Sect members. He had done his research beforehand, but the other side might not have.
Wang Qiang nodded and said, "You suggest the betting method, and I'll choose the person first."
"no problem."
Li Boyang somewhat understood the thoughts of the two princes. They were probably aiming for the throne rather than cultivating themselves. All external things were merely resources for them to win people over.
At the same time, they were also somewhat impressed. As expected of a prince, he was very mature despite his young age. Right now, these two were vying for their group of people.
If Wang Qiang hadn't shown up, Wang Fei would have only needed to arrange everything for them, which would have left a good impression. Unfortunately, Wang Qiang's interference allowed them to reap the benefits.
Just as the two princes were exchanging witty remarks, the situation in the arena unfolded exactly as Li Boyang had predicted.
After a fierce chase, the Rending Ape in the arena had slowed down considerably and was now standing in the center of the arena, breathing heavily with its mouth open.
The burly man with the bushy beard clearly wouldn't let the ape slowly recover its strength. Whenever the ape stopped, he would provoke it, causing it to roar and chase him again.
After a while, the Rift Ape was clearly exhausted, and the burly man with the bushy beard finally began to fight back. He seized the opportunity, first blinding the Rift Ape's eyes, and then, after the Rift Ape's final frenzy, delivering three or four heavy punches with hidden force to the Rift Ape's heart.
A loud bang was heard, and the Rift Ape collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Good, congratulations to our Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a fierce battle, it finally defeated the ferocious beast, the Rift Ape."
"Get lost, what's so intense about that?"
"Exactly, we watched the whole 'Eagle Catches Chickens' show."
"Shh..."
The audience in the arena booed wildly.
The staff member remained unmoved, their thick skin clearly having reached a certain level. They ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex to step back and had others drag the Rift Ape away, then continued:
"Next up, something even more exciting: one is 'Bloody Hand,' who crawled out of a pile of corpses, and the other is from a foreign country, nicknamed 'Iron Pillar King.' You have 10 minutes to place your bets, so hurry up!"
Upon hearing the staff's introduction, Wang Qiang laughed and said, "Second Brother, then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll choose Blood Hand."
Bloodhand is not his real name, but a nickname. Since Wang Qiang came to the arena to cause trouble for Wang Fei, how could he not know every detail?
Bloodhand has won over fifty consecutive matches and is a master of the Acquired Realm. As for Iron Pillar King, this is his first time playing. Although he is also at the Acquired Realm, he is probably no match for Bloodhand.
Wang Fei forced a smile and said, "Then I can only choose Iron Pillar King."
Ten minutes passed quickly.
The arena opens to the left and right.
Two figures slowly emerged from the darkness inside the gate.
Li Boyang, staring intently at the arena, narrowed his eyes and blurted out:
"Wang Dazhu!"

Chapter 68 Disrupting the Arena (Part 1)
The men who walked out from the two gates on the left and right were shirtless, covered in scars, and had a cruel smile on their faces.
The other one was none other than Wang Dazhu, who could be considered Li Boyang's mentor.
In the arena, life and death are irrelevant.
Why Wang Dazhu appeared in the capital of Donghua Kingdom was no longer important; Li Boyang was more worried about his safety.
However, he did not act rashly, but observed secretly. Since Wang Dazhu had chosen to enter the arena, he must have his own reasons.
At this point, the outcome is still undecided. If I were to interrupt directly, Wang Dazhu would likely not appreciate it, and it would be even more unbearable for his old friend to see me in such a sorry state in a foreign land.
Li Boyang was unaware that the reason the arena attracted a constant stream of participants was solely for one reason: profit.
Whether it's fame or fortune, you can get it here. Those seeking fame will naturally have their reputation spread throughout the entire capital once they achieve a certain number of consecutive wins.
As for profiting, it's even simpler. Every time a participant enters the arena and survives, they not only receive a fixed and substantial reward, but also a cut of the bet money they made in the fight.
