With the roster for the third match decided, the crowd in the arena erupted into a frenzy.
It wasn't just because
If the Shura Team won this match, it would be a complete sweep!
On the third-floor VIP balcony, Qianli Wuya looked down at
"Feng Qianyu really pulled off something impressive this time — she even managed to deceive our intelligence network!"
Because the Evil Flood Dragon team had lost two consecutive matches, the Miracle Guild was now forced into this desperate gambit, exposing the strength that Jiu Xiao Longyun had been hiding all along, just to salvage the guild's face.
Not only had it thrown all his plans into disarray, but it had also cost him a significant amount of resources.
And the mastermind behind all of this was the
A guild that had only just risen in a small kingdom — if not for Feng Qianyu's powerful support behind the scenes, how could they possibly have obtained such formidable weapons? Their weapons had resulted in two of the Miracle Guild's top players being instantly killed, turning the guild into a laughingstock among all the major guilds.
"Zifeng, thoroughly investigate this
"Yes!" Mu Zifeng bowed and promptly left.
The Miracle Guild could do nothing against the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion — after all, both were top-tier guilds, and neither feared the other.
If they actually clashed, it would only benefit the other guilds.
But the
"Feng Qianyu, enjoy your moment of triumph while it lasts." Qianli Wuya couldn't help but gaze at the Sigh of Death in Ziyan Liuyun's hand, a glint of greed flickering in his eyes.
The Miracle Guild dared to publicly reveal one epic-grade weapon after another because they weren't afraid of anyone trying to take them. But the Shura Team flaunting epic-grade weapons was an entirely different matter.
It was like tossing a juicy piece of meat into a pack of starving wolves.
When the time came, the Shura Team would not only lose the match but also lose their weapons and equipment.
...
The on-the-spot rule changes for the third match led the tournament organizers to adjust the odds for both teams accordingly. The odds for the Shura Team achieving a complete sweep skyrocketed to one to nine, breaking the Dark Arena's betting record.
"The organizers actually dare to take that bet!"
"Why wouldn't they dare? This is the last match — you don't even need to look to know the Shura Team can't possibly win. Besides, the organizers have already made a killing this time. Before the match, plenty of people bet on the Evil Flood Dragon team sweeping. Now the organizers definitely want to use the high odds to lure in some more suckers. Too bad there are plenty of sharp people here — nobody's going to bet on a Shura Team sweep. They'd rather put their resources on the Evil Flood Dragon team winning. The payout's smaller, but at least it's a sure thing."
...
The spectators in the stands eyed the new odds with great interest, but almost no one actually bet on the Shura Team sweeping. Instead, everyone piled their bets on the Evil Flood Dragon team.
Even quite a few players who hadn't placed their bets yet started wagering on the Evil Flood Dragon team's victory.
After all, nobody was a fool.
The Miracle Guild had dominated the virtual gaming world for years, and the Sword Maniac Jiu Xiao Longyun was a notoriously skilled player who never did anything without confidence. There had to be solid reasoning behind this, and Jiu Xiao Longyun simply couldn't afford to lose.
If he lost, the Shura Team would have achieved a complete sweep against them.
