Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chapter 273: Beast Egg Gambling Tournament


Throughout the entire day, Chu Chen and the others were in high spirits.

Chu Chen was excited because he had found a life-saving remedy for the Forbidden Celestial Dragon.

Zhang Yuyan was excited because she had resolved her emotional burden and was about to see her grandfather.

Wang Lu was excited because of the Hidden Dragon Training Camp and his early admission to the academy.

Lu Hongfei was undoubtedly the most excited. As a branch director, having three students accepted into the Celestial Dragon and Hidden Dragon Training Camp, and all being admitted to Cyan Dragon Academy in advance, was such a glorious achievement that it would be enough for him to boast for a lifetime.

Ji Mingyue and the others were quite envious because they were not part of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

However, Liu Ruyan quickly brought good news, as the Vermilion Bird Daoist School had also set up a Hidden Vermilion Training Camp. Ji Mingyue was already an A-level talent, so she was naturally on the invitation list, and Vermilion Bird Academy also admitted her in advance.

Gangzi was the most frustrated. Like Wang Lu, he was an A-level talent, but unfortunately, he did not have Wang Lu's luck.

Even so, he was not discouraged and planned to rely on his strength to earn admission to Vermilion Bird Academy honestly.

The next morning, Chu Chen and the others grandly headed towards Entertainment Street.

Today, Entertainment Street was much more lively than usual.

Even before eight o'clock, the place was already crowded with people, and most of them were not locals of Cyan Dragon City.

Chu Chen and the others maneuvered through the throng and finally reached the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion before eight.

This was the venue for the Gambling Egg Contest.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Chu Chen found it already packed with people, though most were there just to watch the excitement.

Participants needed a token to enter, and the way to obtain one was through registration.

The Gambling Egg Contest was not something anyone could sign up for, as it required a registration fee of ten million, deterring most thrill-seekers from joining.

Only some capable Gambling Egg Masters and wealthy individuals could afford to register.

When Chu Chen was anxious about not having a token, Dong Hanyang emerged from the Egg Pavilion.

Without saying much, he took two tokens out of his spatial ring, handed one to Chu Chen, and then pulled him into the Gambling Egg Pavilion.

Lu Hongfei and the others had to wait at the entrance. However, a giant screen was somehow installed on the wall of the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion, displaying the happenings inside, allowing those outside to watch the contest as well.

Upon entering the Gambling Egg Pavilion, Chu Chen inspected the token in his hand.

The token felt as heavy as gold and iron, yet it was sculpted from wood.

With his knowledge, Chu Chen couldn't identify the material.

The token was entirely green, with a beautifully carved Beast Taming Egg on the front and the number ninety-eight on the back, apparently serving as a number plate.

"Brother Dong, did you sign up for the Gambling Egg Contest too?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

Dong Hanyang nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, my gambling egg skills are quite impressive."

Chu Chen laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a Gambling Egg Master."

Dong Hanyang waved his hand, saying, "I dare not claim to be a master, but there are a few real masters over there." He signaled with his eyes for Chu Chen to look toward the east side.

Chu Chen glanced east and noticed a large group of people engaged in pleasant conversation, clearly old acquaintances.

"The elderly man in a black long shirt with greyish-white beard over there is Wei Xishan. He is a Gambling Egg Master in Cyan Dragon City, and it's said he won last year's Gambling Egg Contest," Dong Hanyang said solemnly.

Chu Chen nodded and asked, "How many other masters like him are there?"

Dong Hanyang pondered for a moment before responding, "There are four others. They're Wei Xishan from Cyan Dragon City, Hu Shi from White Tiger City, Cang Jie from Vermilion Bird City, Feng Guangshi from Black Tortoise City, and Shi Huai'an from Qilin City. They've all won championships before. Their strengths are quite similar, and winning depends somewhat on luck."

Chu Chen inquired thoughtfully, "How many people have registered for this Gambling Egg Contest?"

"Approximately two hundred or so."

Chu Chen expressed surprise, "Only two hundred? That's surprisingly few."

"You don't understand; the registration fee alone is ten million, and only the champion gets a reward."

"Ah? Then why are there so many people signing up? Are they all just trying their luck?"

Dong Hanyang laughed and explained, "You may not know that apart from those five, some have won the championship purely by luck, though the odds are extremely low. Their real goal is fame. Achieving a good result in the Gambling Egg Contest could make you a guest among influential figures."

Chu Chen finally understood that many registrants were chasing dreams of fame.

Just then, someone recognized Chu Chen.

"Hey, isn't this Chu Chen, the champion of the Daoist School exchange competition?"

"That's right, but your news might be outdated. He was just accepted as a disciple by the Hall Master Long a few days ago."

"I can't believe he completed such a major transition in just a few days. It's truly enviable."

"In that case, we should go and make his acquaintance."

Their conversation wasn't quiet, and those around heard it clearly. Immediately, many began inquiring about Chu Chen.

Upon learning of Chu Chen's current status and position, most people chose to introduce themselves, hoping to become close associates, envisioning boundless prospects.
