What?
Many people were shocked, staring at Qin Chen in disbelief.
Qin Chen actually confirmed all the challenge information before the battle began. Was this guy crazy?
A madman! As long as the bets were not confirmed, they could be retracted, but once confirmed, they would be recognized by the rules of Tian Gong, leaving no room for escape.
This meant that if Qin Chen fought Elder Longyuan first and lost, he would only lose to Elder Longyuan. The remaining twelve people had placed their bets, but since Qin Chen hadn’t confirmed, he could reject them outright without any penalties.
That was the rule.
But now, Qin Chen had directly confirmed all thirteen elders, which meant that even if he lost the challenge to Elder Longyuan, he couldn’t avoid the challenges from the other elders. If he forfeited, he would have to pay each of the remaining twelve elders one million contribution points.
Winning without a fight.
“Madman, truly a madman.”
“If I had known, I would have placed my bets too; it would have been an easy million contribution points.”
“Where does this guy get his confidence?”
Many elders gasped, their eyes cold, filled with confusion and shock.
No matter how arrogant or domineering Qin Chen had been before, it was all talk, nothing serious, easily deniable, and at most he would lose some face.
But now, all the bets had been supervised by Heavenly Work Headquarters and could not be retracted.
Who would be such a fool?
For a moment, some of the elders looked at Qin Chen differently, as they couldn't believe there could be such a fool in the world. Did this kid really have some hidden cards?
Of course, most elders were furious, as they saw this as an insult from Qin Chen.
“Ridiculous, betting his own future like that; does someone like this really deserve to be the acting vice hall master?”
“All of us in Tian Gong’s vice hall master position are composed individuals who, during the great war between the human race and the Demon Tribe, provided substantial resources and divine weapons from the center. How can one act on a whim?”
“Tian Gong is crucial and important for the human race’s war effort, therefore our higher-ups must possess the ability to stay composed.”
“But this kid…” Many present felt even worse about Qin Chen.
The vice hall master of Tian Gong managed many affairs and required a steady hand and a well-grounded mind.
Qin Chen’s actions seemed more like reckless youth and petulance.
If such a person were to become their vice hall master, wouldn’t that lead Tian Gong into the abyss of destruction?
How could that be allowed?
Instantly, even the elders who had previously maintained a neutral stance towards Qin Chen were completely disappointed in him, doubting the decision of Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable.
Could it be that the hall master was truly getting old?
Qin Chen naturally ignored the change in the attitudes of those around him. He stepped onto the arena and immediately felt a surge of spatial power, as he found himself in a vast combat space.
From the outside, Qin Chen and Elder Longyuan floated above a gigantic arena formed by converging mountains. In reality, they were in a special combat space, incredibly expansive.
In the void, Qin Chen and Elder Longyuan faced each other from a distance.
“Hahaha, the acting vice hall master lives up to his title, directly accepting thirteen bets. This elder is impressed,” Elder Longyuan said with a smile, his eyes squinting, displaying a graceful demeanor.
To be honest, he was also taken aback by Qin Chen's actions, unsure of what the other party was planning.
However, wasn’t this even better? Let this kid never have a chance to turn things around.
“Enough of the nonsense. I’m busy, so let’s start the duel directly,” Qin Chen said casually, frowning slightly, completely dismissing Elder Longyuan.
Elder Longyuan's expression darkened, but he quickly smiled again.
He had no choice but to maintain his composure; after all, he was still considered a senior.
