Wang Yi’s lips curled up as a cold smile filled with endless mockery appeared on his face.

They were looking for trouble!

“I’m willing to play according to the rules of the game with you. You were the ones who didn’t follow the rules of the game first, so don’t blame me!”

The situation on the battlefield became clearer over time. Because of his previous mistakes, Meng Hao had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. He was constantly suppressed by Qi Gaoyuan.

“Don’t be a coward, Meng Hao. Fight him head-on! As long as you win, I’ll give you 50,000 yuan!”

“Meng Hao, you piece of trash! You couldn’t even dodge such an obvious attack! I’ve placed all of my wealth on you. If you dare to lose, I’ll kill you!”

“Good job, Qi Gaoyuan! Right! Beat him up ruthlessly for me. Don’t hold back! Haha!”

…

In the audience, the gamblers who placed heavy stakes on the two of them shouted crazily at the two warriors.

The people who had bet on Qi Gaoyuan’s victory were naturally extremely excited.

Meanwhile, the people who had bet on Meng Hao’s victory didn’t look so good. They kept shouting and cursing.

Perhaps the gamblers’ words had provoked Meng Hao.

In the next moment, Meng Hao seemed to have become a different person. His face was filled with madness.

He simply gave up on defending and charged at his opponent without any regard for his life.

The situation on the field became complicated again. Meanwhile, the enthusiasm of the gamblers was stirred. In the audience, they waved the “Betting Machines” in their hands and shouted!

The battle between the two of them could be considered fierce. Basically, their punches landed on the flesh of their opponent.

Blood was dripping from the corners of their mouths. Meanwhile, large mouthfuls of blood dyed their clothes red.

The two of them seemed to be unable to feel any pain as they continued to bombard each other.

All of a sudden, the two of them caught each other’s weakness.

Their faces turned cold, and their expressions became incomparably sinister. They clenched their fists tightly, and their veins bulged as they threw all their strength toward their enemy’s chest.

The outcome was about to be decided!

In the audience, the shouts instantly disappeared and it became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The gamblers looked nervously at the arena, praying that the martial arts warrior they had placed their bets on would win.

Wang Yi could not help but chuckle and muttered to himself, “Their acting is pretty good!”

Then, a wave of spiritual energy seeped out of his body and surged towards the two people in the arena.

In the middle of the fighting arena…

Meng Hao’s expression was vicious as he punched his opponent’s chest with all his might. However, his heart was filled with excitement.

It was not that he was confident of winning, severely injuring, or even killing his opponent.

On the contrary, he was absolutely confident that he would definitely lose after this punch.

As for why he was so excited about losing, there was naturally a reason why.

Before the battle began, the higher-ups had instructed him that he had to lose this round.

Furthermore, he could not let anyone notice anything amiss.

After being in the Battle Arena for many years, he was naturally a good actor. He knew how to fight and how to stir up the emotions of the audience without letting others see that it was fake and he was acting.

Although he threw a punch at the same time as his opponent, he deliberately slowed down.

He had absolute confidence that he could let his opponent hit him in advance.

Furthermore, they were all in the same circle, so they naturally knew their limits. It looked intimidating, but the impact on their bodies was not that serious.

As long as this punch was completed, this match would be over.

Although he would be injured, he would be able to recover in a few months. Furthermore, the higher-ups would reward him handsomely!

With this in mind, Meng Hao grew even more excited!

After all, as the loser, due to his injuries, the rewards from the higher-ups belonged to him.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Wang Yi’s spiritual power had already arrived on the scene and instantly enveloped Qi Gaoyuan.

Qi Gaoyuan did not notice that his punch had suddenly slowed down as he used his spiritual power.

However, his slightly slower punch completely changed the outcome of this martial arts tournament.

Bang!

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering instantly resounded throughout the surroundings.

Meng Hao watched in disbelief as the fist slammed into his opponent’s chest.

Then, Qi Gaoyuan’s body was sent flying by the punch.

Then, a person who looked like a referee ran into the venue and arrived in front of the fallen Qi Gaoyuan.

Looking at the unconscious state of the other party, he checked for a moment before standing up and nodding toward the distance.

“Congratulations to the Crazy Man Meng Hao for winning this martial arts tournament!”

“This is his 31st victory in his martial arts career!”

“Cheers to our victor!”

The loudspeaker sounded throughout the entire Battle Arena.

In the audience, there was a tsunami of cheers. It was obvious that these people had bet on Meng Hao’s victory.

An icon that looked like an email icon kept flashing on the screen of the Betting Machine in Wang Yi’s hand.

He clicked on the icon and a message suddenly popped up.

“Congratulations, esteemed guest! The martial arts warrior you placed your bet on won this martial arts competition for you. You obtained 10 million chips!”

Since Young Master Xu increased the odds, Wang Yi’s winnings increased from 8.5 million to 10 million.

Meanwhile, although Meng Hao had won, he wasn’t happy at all.

He stood there without moving. It was as if he was accepting everyone’s cheers, but his heart was filled with disbelief.

“What the hell is this? Shouldn’t I be the one lying on the ground?”

He had clearly gone easy on his opponent and slowed down his punch. Why did the other party not follow the rules?

Of course, no one was destined to be able to answer the questions in his heart.

No matter what, the martial arts tournament had already ended, and the result could not be changed.

He was the one who had defeated Qi Gaoyuan and became the final winner.

However, Meng Hao didn’t follow the instructions of the higher-ups to lose the martial arts tournament!

Martial arts warriors who did not listen to the words of the higher-ups usually had their limbs broken before being thrown into the city to fend off for themselves.

There were even some who would simply disappear from Cang City. Then, a few days later, a nameless corpse would appear in the wilderness!

With these thoughts in mind, Meng Hao couldn’t help but feel as if his entire body was frozen. It was as if he had fallen into an icy cavern. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Pa!

A precious jade bead was forcefully thrown to the ground and turned into countless jade fragments!

In the control room…

Young Master Xu, who was dressed in a red suit, smashed the jade bead in his hand on the ground. With a furious expression, he asked coldly, “What happened? Why did Meng Hao dare to win?”

The room instantly fell silent. Everyone was silent like cicadas in the winter. For a moment, no one dared to reply.

This person was famous for his cruelty!

Finally, someone stood up by the computer and pointed at the computer screen. With a trembling voice, he said, “Young… Young Master Xu! According to the video, Meng Hao slowed down his punching speed.”

“Under normal circumstances, Qi Gaoyuan would definitely be able to knock Meng Hao down before he could hit him!”

“However, for some reason, Qi Gaoyuan’s punch suddenly slowed down. In fact, he was even slower than Meng Hao. That was how Meng Hao won!”
