"Let's step down. I've chosen the match, and you place your bets first. That's only fair." Kuang Liu said to Chen Guan, no longer paying attention to Zhang Chunxiang.

"I told you to choose first, so let's stick to the rules." Chen Guan shook his head.

"Fine, I'll choose to bet on the underdog winning." Kuang Liu replied.

"Alright, then I'll go with the favorite." Chen Guan nodded.

"Let's go over there to watch." Kuang Liu took them to his previous spot, dismissing the beautiful women who were there.

Not long after the three sat down, the current match concluded.

The next battle commenced with the two pets entering the arena: the Heaven-Dominating Beast, ranked 43rd, challenging the 42nd-ranked Eight-headed Serpent.

Chen Guan's bet was on the underdog, so the Heaven-Dominating Beast needed to win.

As the battle began, both the Heaven-Dominating Beast and the Eight-headed Serpent, massive in size, engaged in a fierce physical struggle, and soon the Heaven-Dominating Beast started to fall behind.

The Eight-headed Serpent wrapped its body around the Heaven-Dominating Beast, making it difficult for the latter to move, each serpent head biting into the Heaven-Dominating Beast. If this continued, it seemed the Heaven-Dominating Beast might meet a gruesome end on the spot.

The owner of the Heaven-Dominating Beast was very anxious, wanting to recall the Heaven-Dominating Beast and concede, but amidst such an entanglement, the beast couldn't be summoned back.

Zhang Chunxiang noted the situation, thinking to herself, "I told you not to gamble with him, but you insisted. Now you're paying the price for not listening to Sister Xiang."

Kuang Liu chuckled from the side, "Friend, it seems your luck isn't very good today."

Chen Guan, however, calmly watched the Heaven-Dominating Beast on the fighting stage and said, "I feel quite lucky to have chosen a pet like the Heaven-Dominating Beast."

"What do you mean by that?" Kuang Liu asked with curiosity.

He was confident of his victory, but watching a spectacle and hearing a joke were also necessary pleasures of a wager.

Therefore, he wanted to hear what joke Chen Guan could possibly make.

Yes, Kuang Liu treated Chen Guan's words as a joke.

Kuang Liu had encountered too many gamblers. A frustrated gambler often made bizarre and humorous claims, which was one of Kuang Liu's favorite shows.

"The 'Dominating' signifies the strongest in martial power; 'Heaven' signifies under the heavens; thus, the Heaven-Dominating Beast is the strongest martial pet under the heavens. Betting on it is naturally my fortune. Such an invincible Secret Spirit cannot lose; it's bound to win," Chen Guan said as he looked at the Heaven-Dominating Beast on stage.

Kuang Liu took a drag from his cigar, exhaling the smoke with a burst of laughter, "Friend, your scholarly knowledge is profound, and your literary skills are indeed remarkable. Based on the name alone, the Heaven-Dominating Beast is undoubtedly victorious."

His words carried a hint of mockery because Chen Guan's viewpoint seemed rather peculiar.

Zhang Chunxiang was also a bit speechless. According to Chen Guan's logic, a Level 1 Secret Spirit called the "Invincible Mantis" would truly be invincible.

At this point, Zhang Chunxiang said no more, calculating whether Chen Guan could pay Kuang Liu a million. If he couldn't, she wondered if she could seize the opportunity to buy his Rouge Rabbit.

While pondering, she suddenly saw the situation on stage take a sudden turn.

The Heaven-Dominating Beast, which was tightly entwined by the Eight-headed Serpent, suddenly erupted.

It forcibly broke free from the serpent's hold and grabbed its tail, swinging it fiercely to the ground.

The shift in advantage was immediate. The Heaven-Dominating Beast fought with increasing vigor, battering the Eight-headed Serpent until it was dizzy. The snake heads biting into the Heaven-Dominating Beast began to loosen their grip.

Kuang Liu stared in disbelief, the cigar in his mouth left untouched, as he watched the Heaven-Dominating Beast running rampant on the fighting stage.

At that moment, Kuang Liu suddenly remembered the fear imposed by another individual.

That seemingly harmless little girl was, in Kuang Liu's memory, an extremely terrifying nightmare.

"Impossible… That kind of person only exists once… This guy can't have the same talent, can he…" Kuang Liu's mind was racing.

Zhang Chunxiang stood in shock, watching the Heaven-Dominating Beast thrash the Eight-headed Serpent.

"What is happening? Could Chen Guan actually win? How could he possibly beat Kuang Liu? Could his luck be stronger than Kuang Liu's?" Zhang Chunxiang suddenly regretted not insisting on betting the million against Kuang Liu earlier.

If she had, she might have won a million and significantly increased her personal fortune.

"A million…" Zhang Chunxiang felt she missed out on a jackpot and could only console herself, "No way, Kuang Liu couldn't lose so easily; there must be a turnaround!"

Yet, there was no turnaround. The Heaven-Dominating Beast thrashed the Eight-headed Serpent so thoroughly that its owner didn't even have time to recall it. The Eight-headed Serpent was nearly beaten to death by the Heaven-Dominating Beast.

When the Eight-headed Serpent was finally close to death, the Heaven-Dominating Beast released its grip, allowing the owner to quickly recall the serpent.

The Heaven-Dominating Beast emerged victorious, leaving Kuang Liu stunned until the smoke from the cigar brought him back to his senses. He hurriedly set the cigar down.

"I lost." Kuang Liu admitted straightforwardly, taking out a card and handing it to Chen Guan, "This card is issued by the Zhang Family. Miss Zhang should recognize it. With this card, you can exchange for a million at the Zhang Family."

Chen Guan looked at Zhang Chunxiang, and she inspected the card before taking out a strange device to swipe it. She nodded to Chen Guan, "No problem, it's a shopping card issued by our family, and the million in shopping credits is still there."

Chen Guan accepted the card with a smile and asked Kuang Liu, "Do you want to continue gambling?"

"No way, your luck is better than mine. Gambling with you is just giving you money. No more... no more..." Kuang Liu shook his head vigorously.

The last time he met that little girl, he was headstrong, resulting in a miserable outcome.

Learning from mistakes, he wouldn't be so headstrong again.

Chen Guan felt a little regretful, but in a short time, he had won a million, a sum ordinary families might never earn in a lifetime.

"Just right, I'll use this card to buy elixirs at the Zhang Family's shop." Chen Guan planned in his heart.

As he thought to look at Zhang Chunxiang, he noticed her smiling warmly at him, her expression unusually friendly and kind.

"Friend, how about I find a few easy targets for you to gamble with?" Zhang Chunxiang's eyes gleamed with the light of money. She was wealthy, but precisely because she was rich, she knew the benefits of wealth and craved more than most.

"Sure!" Chen Guan was worrying about where to earn money. After arranging a share with Zhang Chunxiang, she took him to find more people to gamble with.
