Chapter 25: Everyone's Eyes on You
"Have you heard? Crazy Tang Guangyan wants to fight with someone else, a full 10 million bet!"

"What, such a big deal?"

In the classroom, Ye Xinxia was doing her morning reading.

The boy at the front desk turned around mysteriously and talked to the girl at the same desk, but he was observing Ye Xinxia out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she had no interest, he felt disappointed.

The girl sitting next to me has a round face and eats the melon out of curiosity when she is surprised:

"Who dares to bet so much money? His old rival, Song Shuiwang?"

The boy at the front desk was less enthusiastic and said indifferently, "I don't know him. I heard that he is a newcomer who just joined the Three Kings Dormitory. I guess he plays with Song Shuiwang. He is a mind mage, but he seems to have only the initial level of cultivation. What's his name, An Yuan?"

The round-faced girl opened her mouth and said, "Ah? He dared to fight with Crazy Tang at the beginner level. Is this person mentally ill?"

Yasuhara!?
“Don’t say that about others.”

Ye Xinxia raised her head and spoke softly to the round-faced girl. She looked at the boy with a pair of puzzled eyes and clenched her book tightly:

"Why did Tang Guangyan challenge An Yuan? And even proposed a bet?"

The boy immediately held his head high and said with a smile:
"This news still depends on me, a professional intelligence officer. Actually, it was An Yuan who took the initiative to challenge Tang Guangyan. Are you surprised? We all guessed that he might be hiding his cultivation level, but the gambling agreement seemed to say that if he hides his cultivation level, the gambling would be invalid, which means that he is indeed a beginner mage."

"I really don't understand where he got the confidence from, but anyway, there's something interesting to watch. This happened yesterday, and the bet will be made at noon today. Xinxia, ​​shall we go and watch it together later?"

The boy's eyes were nervous.

Didn't he say so much just for the last invitation?

Ye Xinxia pursed her lips and said, "Well, I want to go and take a look."

Why did An Yuan want to provoke a dispute with Tang Guangyan?

You know, Tang Guangyan is the best in the Wind Department and is called Crazy Tang. In addition to the pun, the reason is that he is extremely ruthless. He never shows mercy in sparring and always injures his opponents!

An Yuan is only a beginner magician...

What if I get hurt? Will I be sad if I lose so much money?
"I want to go over there. If An Yuan is injured, at least I can treat him immediately and comfort him so that he won't be too sad."

Seeing Ye Xinxia agreed, the boy laughed excitedly, "I'll help us get a front seat at noon!"

Round-faced girl: "I'm going too!"

'Why are you joining in the fun!'

The boy secretly complained and reluctantly agreed:
"alright."

……

After a morning, the news about An Yuan and Tang Guangyan's multi-million bet had spread throughout the class.

Almost half of the class wanted to watch the competition.

Funds in the tens of millions are a huge sum of money for a mid-level magician, and even more so for them. Yet, they are being used for gambling!

The tens of millions-dollar gimmick set off a bloody storm that spread rapidly like a virus. Students from the entire Qing campus were like sharks that smelled blood, wishing that time could jump to noon immediately so that they could watch this expensive competition.

Finally, the school bell rang.

The boy at the front table stood up excitedly and wanted to push Ye Xinxia's wheelchair, but the round-faced girl who couldn't wait got there first:
"Let's go!"

"...Let's go, Xinxia."

The boy's mouth twitched.

The three of them mixed in with the crowd and just left the classroom when a man suddenly walked out from the front and blocked their way.

The boy avoided him and passed him by.

He didn't care and walked straight to Ye Xinxia, ​​showing a gentle and elegant smile:

"Xinxia, ​​do you want to watch Tang Guangyan's sparring as well? I've asked someone to reserve a front row seat for you, come along."

Ye Xinxia declined, "Senior Liu, my friend and I have already made an appointment."

The boy suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Yilin, who had a slicked-back hair and powdered face, his expression changed slightly.

"Yeah~!"

The round-faced girl covered her mouth and screamed, "It's God Liu!"

"Lord Liu? Master Bing!" "It's really him!" "What's his relationship with Ye Xinxia?" Liu Yilin was also a well-known figure. His appearance attracted the attention of his classmates, and even their pace towards the fighting hall slowed down.

"Xinxia and I are friends."

Liu Yilin spoke gently to his classmates, taking the wheelchair armrest from the round-faced girl who had never resisted, "Xinxia, ​​let's go."

Ye Xinxia was silent for a moment, "I can come by myself, classmate Liu."

As he spoke, he held the wheels with both hands and moved forward.

Liu Yilin sighed softly, followed behind Ye Xinxia, ​​and said softly:
"Anyway, let's go quickly. I'm really curious about how a beginner wizard would dare to challenge Tang Guangyan. He must be a little ignorant."

Ye Xinxia had a blank expression on her face. "Please don't talk about others behind their backs."

……

The Qing Campus of Hangzhou University accommodates more than 40,000 students and occupies about one-third of the entire university. In the past, various large and small examinations were very tight.

Among these more than 99 students, more than % are elemental mages, so the independent teaching areas of each elemental department are built very large.

In addition to theoretical classes, students also take magic classes in various departments on weekdays.

The gimmick of a tens-million-dollar gambling fight attracted more than 10,000 students to the Feng Academy’s big fighting arena, but the auditorium was still not full.

With tens of thousands of people present, the sound of just chatting was very deafening. Many people had only seen such a grand scene during the annual freshman assessment.

Especially when key figures enter the venue, the discussions and shouts from the entire audience will make people's heart beat faster, giving them the experience of watching a large-scale game.

……

"There are so many people!"

After stepping onto the stage, An Yuan waved to Song Xuanfei and the other two.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that you would cause such a big thing just after entering school."

Teacher Fang walked over with a wry smile.

"Director Guo attaches great importance to this competition and asked me to be the referee. I am a water and light mage, so there is no need to worry about safety. An Yuan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Mr. Fang."

An Yuan heard the noisy roar from the audience and looked at Tang Guangyan who was leading the team into the venue in the distance. He laughed out loud with joy as if he had seen five million.

Teacher Fang thought of his record of defeating Tang Huakang in one second yesterday, and he felt a little excited:
"Don't underestimate the enemy."

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher."

……

"An Yuan, where's your money?"

Tang Guangyan transferred the money to Mr. Fang, who was acting as the referee, with great generosity, and looked at An Yuan aggressively.

Below the stage, behind him, a group of people looked unhappy.

An Yuan looked over and saw a talented wizard who was close to the Tang family, Tang Guangyan's younger brother, and Tang Huakang, who looked very proud.

An Yuan took out his phone and transferred money to Teacher Fang. He looked at Tang Guangyan and suddenly laughed softly. He deliberately raised his voice and asked:

"Speaking of which, you know what?"

"what?"

"You are here to stand up for the younger brother of the Tang family, right? Actually, I also made a bet with him yesterday. But the content of the bet is that when he enters the academy in a few months, we will have a competition, and the loser must kneel down and apologize in public."

The fighting hall was very large, but after An Yuan and Tang Guangyan appeared on the stage, the students watching the fight became much quieter.

An Yuan deliberately raised his voice so that the students in the front row could hear it, and for a moment they showed a mentality of watching the show:
"This An Yuan actually had a fight with the Tang family?" "That's not right. How can a freshman who hasn't even entered school have any strength? An Yuan even dared to fight with crazy Tang!"

Under the ring, Tang Huakang heard An Yuan's words and immediately sneered and shouted:

"An Yuan, let Brother Yan teach you a lesson today, and then you can kneel down and apologize to me in a few months!"

An Yuan smiled and looked at Tang Guangyan, "It seems he can't wait any longer. Shall we start now?"

Tang Guangyan's eyes were slightly cold:
"Come on, I'll let you know the price you'll pay for insulting the Tang family!"
