Chapter 865: What Kind of Enemy Is This

Not only can it accommodate tens of thousands of people online simultaneously, oh, not simultaneously seated to watch.

It also offers a silky-smooth audio-visual experience for everyone.

It's said that these were built in just over an hour.

For the best infrastructure speed, look to Yingwu Zhou, Immortal University.

Bang!

As agreed, Mingxi arrived at Xianzong Plaza promptly at seven o'clock, and without any guidance, walked directly onto the massive combat stage.

She waved to all directions, “Hello everyone, I am Mingxi.”

The young girl’s smile was bright and radiant, her flying hair tips seemed to trail brilliant specks of light, making people dizzy and enchanted.

The exquisite and beautiful hairband and hairpin in her hair shone brightly along with her.

“Wow!”

“She’s so beautiful.”

“Just for this face, I’ll be her fan!”

“Then did you bet on her passing the challenge?”

“Being a fan is one thing, but don’t joke with leaf radiance.”

Regarding Mingxi’s Ladder Challenge, major casinos in An Ting City had already opened grand betting pools, and Immortal University’s official side not only didn’t stop them but also personally participated.

The school also opened a betting pool.

However, only current students could participate, and they could only bet with leaf radiance.

Mingxi had also accompanied Li Tangtang to see it after dinner yesterday; the school’s betting pool had many variations, including the most common ‘one round decides life or death’.

That is, betting on her passing or not passing.

The odds for not passing were so low that no one had any desire to bet on it, while the odds for passing were so high that it made people want to act on impulse yet also retreat in fear.

1 to 50.

Well done!

Mingxi inquired and the teacher in charge said that so far, only two people had bet on her passing: Zhang Yike and Qian Bingning.

“But they didn’t bet much, each bought two orange leaf radiance, saying it was for your spiritual support, and then spent two green leaf radiance to bet that you would stop between 200th and 500th place.”

Thank you all!

Mingxi was furious at that moment and directly slapped down a Black Leaf Radiance, “I bet on myself to pass!”

50 times the odds, what more could you want than an aircraft carrier!

Go for it!

If it weren't for the fact that her remaining leaf radiance had all been used to prepay the challenge fee, she would have bet even more!

Li Tangtang and the teacher in charge were stunned by her big gesture.

This was Black Leaf Radiance, equivalent to 1 billion white ye hui.

Its value was immeasurable.

She just used it for gambling like that?

Even the poor getting rich shouldn't be like her!

“Xiao Xi, why don’t we reconsider?”

Li Tangtang felt that she was purely acting on impulse now, stimulated by everyone’s lack of confidence in her.

“No need to consider! It’s just one Black Leaf Radiance! Xiao Ye has plenty!”

Her little face was flushed, looking quite angry.

Li Tangtang rubbed her forehead, good heavens, it was indeed a big stimulation, she even used Golden Yuanbao’s self-address.

And you clearly only have one Black Leaf Radiance.

Thinking about Mingxi’s true goodness and beauty, Li Tangtang decided to risk it all and bet her 8 orange leaf radiance, painstakingly earned over the past month, on Mingxi passing.

Losing just means a month of wasted effort, this young lady doesn’t care!

But if she wins, she will not only earn a full 400 orange leaf radiance but also gain Mingxi’s true friendship.

Let’s do it!

The teacher in charge naturally wouldn’t refuse such wealthy patrons who were practically handing them money, and immediately issued them betting tickets.

When he later heard that the School Management Committee had not only set up a temporary on-campus betting center but also set Mingxi’s odds of passing the challenge at 1 to 50, and that they had gleefully accepted Mingxi’s bet of one Black Leaf Radiance, Shen Najia almost spat a mouthful of old blood onto the face of the School Management Committee chairman.

Good heavens.

I’ve heard of people sending money, but I’ve never heard of someone sending money like this!

1 to 50.

Why don’t you just give the whole school to her!

What kind of big sucker is this anyway?

Is it still too late for him to resign as Principal now?

Seeing the Principal’s grim reaper-like expression, the School Management Committee chairman finally realized he might have done something foolish. He stammered, weakly, and cautiously said, “Principal, do you... do you think she can pass this Ladder Challenge?

This is the Ultimate Ladder, with a total of 4265 challengers, how could she possibly succeed?

Even Vice-Principal Yin said he wouldn’t be too confident if he went up there.

Mingxi can’t possibly be stronger than Vice-Principal Yin, can she?”

“Heh heh.”

What he thinks, what he thinks, it’s already too late no matter what he thinks!

Once the betting ticket is issued, it will not be refunded.

Are they going to assassinate Mingxi or something?

And is Yin Jiuheng’s old problem acting up again? Never learning from his mistakes!

Speaking carelessly will lead to taking the blame!

Indeed, there’s a saying that’s true: don’t fear a god-like opponent, only fear a pig-like teammate.

Shen Najia didn’t want to bother anymore.

“Get out!”

Fortunately, except for Mingxi and a few stubborn students, 99.9% of students bet on Mingxi not passing and at what stage she would stop.

Plus ticket and broadcast revenue.

Even if there’s a loss, the school won’t lose too miserably.

However, after this wave, the School Management Committee would simply be working for Mingxi for free, toiling hard only for others to reap the benefits.

This is just...

Even an old man would shake his head at this.

Time returns to the normal node.

After Mingxi’s appearance sparked cheers from tens of thousands, today’s first challenger, the gentleman ranked 4265 on the Xingyao List, landed on the combat stage riding a white unicorn.

He landed handsomely, and it’s unclear whether this gentleman was too nervous or what.

The moment his feet touched the ground—

Thud.

He knelt on both knees, hands propped forward, giving Mingxi an early New Year’s bow.

Mingxi: “...?”

(●’◡’●)

Ah, I didn’t prepare a red envelope, what should I do?

Fortunately, Mr. 4265’s psychological resilience was like a wave, and he quickly changed his posture from prostrating to kneeling on one knee.

A fiery red rose appeared in his right hand as if by magic.

“Hello, Mingxi Junior, today you are so beautiful that my knees can’t straighten. My name is Jia Zhengzhi, but of course, starting today, I think I will have a new name, so you can also call me Zhen Gui Gui.”

Mingxi: “...”

Brother, you really know how to adapt.

Amidst the roaring laughter of the teachers and students, Mingxi calmly accepted the rose and helped the Senior Jia up.

“Thank you for the flower, Senior.”

Mingxi looked directly at the referee.

Regardless of the reason, the referee for this Ladder Challenge was Vice-Principal Mia.

“Vice-Principal, we can start!”

She couldn’t continue interacting with this Zhen Gui Gui, fearing that her cool, aloof, and otherworldly immortal persona would collapse.

(Author’s OS: Illusion! It’s the protagonist’s own illusion! It has nothing to do with me!)

Mia was also smiling; clearly, this first guest was truly a character.

She cleared her throat before regaining her seriousness, and with a stern, grim face, she solemnly announced: “Mingxi, first-year of Beast Taming Academy, ranked 4266th on the Xingyao List, begins the Ultimate Ladder Challenge today!
