"City Lord, the third round of the competition is about to begin. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Tianlei Palace to explain the substitution at this time." The middle-aged man standing aside said with a worried expression.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will take care of it later." Gu Rentong waved his hand.

"Chu Chen, who is Chu Chen?"

As soon as Gu Ren's call ended, a summons came from outside the short peak, and a young disciple of Tianlei Palace in green clothes walked up to the peak.

Chu Chen didn't reply and looked at Gu Rentong.

"Miss Shi, wait a moment."

Gu Rentong whispered something, walked towards the disciple, whispered to the disciple, and waved to Shi Lan and Chu Chen.

Shi Lan and Chu Chen followed Gu Rentong and the Tianlei Palace disciple to a huge arena that was nearly a hundred feet long and wide and nearly two feet high.

The arena was made entirely of black iron, with formation patterns engraved on it. Shi Lan took a few glances and saw that part of it had the effect of reinforcement.

There were many people watching the excitement around the ring, thousands in number, and the atmosphere was noisy.

There was a place that stood out among the crowd. A large square platform was surrounded by an overwhelming crowd.

Everyone was holding spiritual crystals in their hands, with excited expressions. There was a row of names hanging on the high platform. Chu Chen's name was hanging at the front, with the words 'One for Two' written underneath. Next to Chu Chen's name was Another name is 'Yuan Guanhai'.

Obviously this is a gambling market, and bets can be placed openly.

Shi Lan had some impressions of Yuan Guanhai's name. The strength in the information seemed to be at the peak of the eighth level of the Xiantian Realm, so there should be no threat to her.

A strong young man was standing alone on the ring.

The man was dressed in loose black clothes, with eyes like eagles. Some of the baggy clothes could not hide his strong muscle lines, and he exuded a strong aggressive aura.

The Tianlei Temple disciple, Gu Rentong and Shi Lan, came to a middle-aged man in purple, bowed and said:

"Elder Xin, Gu Rentong, the lord of Gufeng City, wants to change the candidates for the martial arts meeting."

"Change the candidate?" Elder Xin looked at Gu Rentong doubtfully.

"I, Gu Rentong, want this girl Shi Lan to take over Chu Chen's place in the third round of the competition." Gu Rentong said, cupping his hands.

"Substitute on the spot? Is there any evidence? Have you brought the letter of recommendation?" Elder Xin glanced at Shi Lan, frowned slightly, and asked.

Gu Rentong held the letter in both hands and handed it to Elder Xin.

"Wait a minute." Elder Xin opened the letter, glanced at the seal on the last page of the letter, then stood up and fell into the crowd.

Half a moment later, Elder Xin left and returned, saying in a somewhat stern tone:

"Substitution is possible, but it must be approved by the other party, and this time is just an exception, there will be no next time!"

"Thank you." Gu Rentong cupped his hands and led Shi Lan towards the ring.

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and stood aside with his arms folded without saying a word. He didn't care too much about the reason why Gu Rentong changed his generals before the battle. He was happy and free, so he didn't have to go to the ring to fight with others to death. It may even leave hidden wounds.

Chu Chen is well aware of his own weight. With his strength at the eighth level of the Xiantian Realm for the first time, reaching the third round is already the limit. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will definitely not be able to reach the final round. Now he suddenly changes his position. , saving countless unnecessary efforts.

Moreover, he really wanted to see what the girl Shi Lan that the city lord suddenly brought here was capable of.

Elder Xin had jumped onto the stage first, came to the man's side, and whispered to him.

The man in black's eyes moved, and after sizing up Shi Lan, a sinister smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded.

Elder Xin turned around and waved to Shi Lan.

"Miss Shi Lan, please." Gu Rentong said solemnly.

Shi Lan nodded and jumped onto the ring. No need for Gu Rentong to tell her, she would go all out. After all, the benefits after the achievement would be huge.

After Shi Lan took the stage, there was a burst of discussion around him.

"Why is there a sudden change of people?"

"Shouldn't it be Chu Chen who is going to go to Gufeng City in this match? I even bet fifty spiritual crystals on him to win!"

"This girl is so pretty." A young man dressed as a scholar looked a little dazed.

"She's pretty but useless. She's only at the seventh level of the Xiantian realm. How can she fight with that Yuan Guanhai?!"

"Is this woman taking the place of Chu Chen? Can the spiritual crystal just pressed still count?"

"The betting market has been reopened! The one who suppressed Chu Chen just now can get the spiritual crystal back!"

As soon as these words came out, many people rushed to the high platform and took back their spiritual crystals.

Chu Chen's name was withdrawn, and Shi Lan's newly released name was listed next to Yuan Guanhai.

Most people placed their bets again and placed the spiritual crystals in their hands under Yuan Guanhai's name.

Yuan Guanhai's odds dropped all the way, and finally became 1 to 1, while Shi Lan's odds rose to 9 to 1.

"I'll give you Miss Shi Lan, one thousand five hundred...twenty-three spiritual crystals!" The man dressed as a scholar earlier turned red, his head was hot, he pulled off the package he was carrying, and searched for ten more spirit crystals from his body. After Yu Kuai came out, he shouted loudly.

"Are you crazy?!"

"You are throwing the spiritual crystal into the water!"

Several friends beside the man quickly tried to dissuade him.

The scholar calmed down and felt a little heartache for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the ring and was about to pull back the package, but he happened to catch Shi Lan's gaze looking over. Suddenly, his mind was filled with heat again, and he smashed the half-lifted package. Go down.

"Place your bet!"

Shi Lan looked at the words 'Nine for one' floating under his name, and felt the urge to place a bet.

But it's a pity that she didn't bring any spiritual crystals, and judging from the cool look on Gu Rentong's sleeves, it didn't look like she had brought many spiritual crystals, so she could only miss this opportunity to make a fortune.

Shi Lan shook his head slightly, gathered his thoughts, and moved his gaze to his opponent, Yuan Guanhai.

Yuan Guanhai smiled at Shi Lan, licked the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows teasingly, and looked up and down at Shi Lan with extremely wanton eyes.

Shi Lan's expression became cold and he moved his fingers a few times with an expressionless expression.

Elder Xin just pretended that he didn't see Yuan Guanhai's movements and started explaining the rules of the competition in the same way.

"The one who falls out of the ring loses, the one who falls to the ground loses, and the one who hurts someone's life will also lose." After saying that, Elder Xin looked at Shi Lan and reminded implicitly: "If you feel that you are invincible, admit defeat. Will take action to stop the game."

Shi Lan, who was thinking about how to make Yuan Guanhai look like him, did not notice that Gu Rentong, who was standing at the edge of the ring, had inadvertently walked to the edge of the high platform.

Seeing that Shi Lan had no intention of looking back, Gu Rentong quickly took out two half-foot-long transparent strips with purple light from his sleeves and threw them on the gambling board.

"Twenty thousand spiritual crystals, Shi Lan wins."
