Gambling was a slippery slope, especially once they tasted victory. For those lacking restraint, it was easy to get sucked in."Congratulations on your wins! Here's your stash of celestial stones." Abigail beamed as she handed over the winnings."I just bet with my darksteel sword and get five celestial stones, right? Can I redeem it?" Ruby asked."Sure." Abigail nodded and motioned for someone to retrieve Ruby's sword, which had been used as a bet earlier."Not so fast!" Miles intervened just as Ruby reached for her sword. "Ruby, hold up. The real action is yet to unfold. "If you redeem now, we'll have less to play with later, meaning fewer wins. Let's stack up some more celestial stones first, then redeem your sword. Sounds good?""Hmm…" Ruby hesitated.He reassured her, "What's the matter? Trust me, betting with me is like finding cash on the sidewalk. Win a few more rounds, and we'll have enough stones to make a breakthrough.""Okay, Miles, I'll go along with your suggesti

After the second round of betting concluded, there was a mix of joy and frustration at Abigail's betting table.Winners were on cloud nine, feeling like they had struck gold, while losers were kicking themselves for their choices."Damn it! I didn't think that guy would lose so badly. I should've gone with Number 36 from the start!""I only have myself to blame! I lost a whole bottle of Zen Pellets for nothing!""Same here. I lost all my loot in one fell swoop!""Hmph! I told you to bet on Number 36, but no one listened. Now we've got to pay the price!"Amidst the collective groans, a jarring voice broke through the noise. All heads turned toward a man dressed in gray. He strode arrogantly with a longsword strapped to his back. In his hand, he tightly gripped a fistful of celestial stones he had just won from his bets."Hey! Looks like you made quite a haul earlier," someone piped up."Nah, just a dozen or so. But if I had more capital, I'd have gone all in. I could've won ev

At that moment, Abigail's voice rang out.After the second round of betting, many martial artists were drawn over. Initially, there were bystanders just there to watch. But as they got caught up in the excitement, they found it intriguing. Eventually, they decided to jump in and participate.As more and more of them racked up celestial stones, those who hadn't joined in yet were getting envious.After all, chances to snag celestial stones were rare. So, when the opportunity finally presented itself, they couldn't resist.As a result, the betting pool attracted an increasing number of gamblers. Abigail kept accumulating rare treasures, even as the celestial stones in her box decreased. Regardless, she remained content and unfazed as long as people were willing to bet."The contestants are in the battle ring, and the third round is about to begin. Hurry up and get those bets in before it's too late!" Abigail continued to shout.Nearly half of the crowd relied on their gut insti

"Miles, do you think we should trust the man in gray and bet on Number 33?" Ruby whispered. She had intended to follow Miles's lead in placing her bet. But to her surprise, he went with the man in gray's recommendation and chose to bet on contestant number 33.After all, she didn't trust strangers. Despite Miles' assurance, she only bet half of her celestial stones just to be on the safe side.He assured her, "I've looked into Number 33. He's really strong and with a high chance of winning. You can bet on him without any worries." He wasn't the type to blindly follow others. But after listening to the man in gray hype up Number 33, Miles took a closer look.Despite Number 33's unassuming appearance, anyone skilled enough to wield a shadowsteel whip was far from ordinary.A whip, being such an unconventional weapon, was tough to master. Just getting the hang of it wasn't easy, and becoming a true expert required dedication far beyond the norm. Those who had truly mastered it c

When the shadowsteel whip was swung, it crackled with power and delivered precise strikes that were impossible for anyone to dodge.Despite the strength of Number 33's opponent, he was forced to retreat and unable to close the distance.In mere minutes, the opponent endured a relentless barrage of lashes. His body was marked with bloody welts.He gritted his teeth and persevered for another two minutes before being knocked off the battle ring by Number 33's whip.The sight sparked cheers at the betting tables as many people jumped up excitedly."Haha… I won! Number 33 is the winner!""Heh… Awesome! I finally picked the right horse!""Damn it! If I'd known, I would've gone all in. This measly payout is hardly satisfying!"Number 33's win had the whole crowd cheering and celebrating. Most of the gamblers were thrilled by their newfound winnings.But for some, there was a pang of regret for playing it too safe. When they held the celestial stones in hand, that regret only intensi

Even the martial artists watching from afar couldn't resist joining in.Some came for the thrill, while others couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.With many martial artists raking in the celestial stones, word spread like wildfire. Soon, a steady stream of new faces was eager to participate in the betting pool.Abigail's first box of celestial stones had been completely doled out as winnings.

Who's your pick this roun

Number 24 folded his arms and sized up Number 95 with scorn and disbelief.He couldn't help but scoff at the sight of the skinny, hobbling kid stepping into the ring. He felt that Number 95 had underestimated the challenge ahead."Although you're tall and muscular, it doesn't mean you can beat me," Number 95 stated flatly."I can't beat you?" Number 24 chuckled.He taunted, "Kid, do you even know what you're saying? With your twig-like frame, I could squash you with one hand!""Really? Why don't you give it a try?" Number 95 remained unfazed as he stared at Number 24 without flinching.Despite his smaller stature, he emitted a strong presence."Fine. It seems like you won't get it until I school you!" Number 24 sneered as he drew his long blade out of its sheath.Meanwhile, Number 95 remained unfazed as he casually leaned on his crutches."What are you waiting for? Draw your weapon!" Number 24 pointed his blade at him aggressively."I don't need a weapon to deal with you," Nu
