The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 346 - 174: The Eighth of Ten Talents, Jin Shanshan_3

Most of the rest looked at him with envious and greedy eyes. Those who had lost money lowered their voices and asked their peers:

"Hey, can he really gamble? I followed him with 300 and didn’t earn a thing."

"Don’t you understand? Mr. Huo’s main character is ’Spendthrift Boy’."

"Even though he occasionally wins a big amount, but he loses at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in a week. His eyebrows don’t even furrow. He spends so lavishly that the casino cherishes him."

"So, he’s very good at ’warming up’ the atmosphere?"

The person in front scratched his head, then after a moment of confusion, laughed.

"I get it now, playing with him doesn’t mean I have to follow his bets."

"Once I win my own bet, it’s sure to be a huge profit. It’ll even make me wake up laughing in my dreams."

"Heh." His companion grinned and, seeing the second round of chaos about to start, he quickly placed his bet.

"Brother Bai, let’s also go and play."

Dongfang Xu called out, and with the surging crowd, they went towards the centre stage.

Ye Hanjun walked forward, but his gaze stayed on Huo Xin, the corners of his mouth forming a slight curve.

Huo Xin, the eighth of the Ten Talents of Canghai Pavilion, known as Jin Shanshan!

This man had an extraordinary aura, handsome and suave which was certainly not fake.

However, his entire body was crystal clear and transclucent as if he was glowing - this had to do with his position.

’Trickster’ of D Class - the best at deceiving others with cunning tricks!

Passive Ability - Visual Distortion, subtly distorting other’s vision, leading to incorrect judgments.

Active Ability - Trick Pocket, similar to a mini storage space, it can conjure flying daggers, flash bombs, roses, ropes, elixirs, flames and so on, wowing the crowds and making it easy to pull items out of thin air.

"Bang!"

Dongfang Xu placed a 300 bet on the fifth Fond Spirit, while Ye Hanjun glanced at him and placed the same bet on the third Fond Spirit.

The chaos began, Huo Xin bet a thousand on the first Fond Spirit that was brave and unmatched, immediately killing the ninth and tenth with one blow.

The rest of the Fond Spirits fought fiercely. The roars and screams were drowned by the even louder cheers, the atmosphere in the casino rapidly climbing to a peak.

"Hahaha, I won."

The first Fond Spirit won, triple the return, netting 3000 chips.

This time, those who had followed Huo Xin’s bet were laughing non-stop while those who had placed their own bets were sighing in regret.

"Continue! Continue!"

"Mr. Huo, which number are you betting on for the third round? I’ll follow you!"

...

The gamblers’ greed burnt fiercely.

Meanwhile, DongFang Xu and Ye Hanjun, who bet randomly and just joined the fun, didn’t care about winning or losing.

Although they appeared to be entertaining themselves, they were constantly observing the layout of the casino with their spread out senses.

The task this time was difficult, but the reward was immensely generous.

As long as they could uproot this underground casino, while eliminating a black evil force, the treasures they captured could be kept for themselves and distributed as they saw fit.

Dongfang Xu estimated that if they could accomplish this, every member of the Mercenary Group that Steals Fire could be fully armed, quickly enhancing their strength.

As for Ye Hanjun, apart from the portion he needed for himself, the remainder could be shared with his disciples to aid their growth.

—This is a considerable amount of resources.

The only problem is how to uproot it.

Wherever they looked, there were more than thirty defenders in the casino.

All of them were at the second rank, with none of the first rank stragglers around. And observing their behaviors, they were either bravely combative or deviously cunning, extremely alert.

Of course, these were minor issues.

The biggest problem came from the earlier mentioned "Lord An".

His exact identity and background were not clear yet.

What was certain was that he was a ’Gambler’ of the E class, not very good in fights, but had also reached the third rank and had a Contracted Jade Infant.

Moreover, according to Dongfang Xu’s information, this Lord An might have a few friends of the same rank who occasionally appeared near the casino.

— If they wanted to take down the casino, they couldn’t confront them directly.

A part of the information indicated that Lord An did not stay in the casino all the time and there were times when he left.

The main purpose of Ye Hanjun and Dongfang Xu entering the casino to play was to confirm this time period.

As long as they knew the time when the Jade Infant Fetus was not here, then a sudden uprising to sweep through with the power of thunder would truly become a feasible plan.

"Hahaha, Mr. Huo, you lost terribly this time; everything you earned just now, you lost all of it!"

"Exactly! Mr. Huo is throwing money around, whether he wins or loses, that carefree demeanor. Look at those women, from old ladies to young girls, they all seem like they want to eat you. You should be careful not to let them take advantage of you."

"Nonsense."

Huo Xin waved his hand grandiosely and said:

"We’re all here to have fun, so just do whatever makes you happy."

"But there is one problem, don’t you guys find that a fight of Clay Body level is a bit boring?"

"Is the person in charge of the casino here? Since I am present today, aren’t they going to bring out some higher-level fighting animals of the Rainbow Light level for some decent rounds?"

At these words, everyone in the crowd was taken aback, then burst into cheers, all eager for some excitement:

"Did you hear that? Mr. Huo is not having fun!"

"Quickly, call Lord An out. To use the beasts of the Rainbow Light level, his consent is needed. This is Mr. Huo of the Canghai Pavilion personally speaking, it would be a bit disappointing to refuse him, wouldn’t it?"

"Clap, clap, clap—"

A series of applause, accompanied by high-level beastly presence, caused the noisy crowd to go silent, as if doused in cold water.

An old man, his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, walked up to Huo Xin under the admiring gaze of the guards.

"My name is Anlatusa, I have the honour of meeting Mr. Huo."

"If Mr. Huo is not having fun here, it is my fault. It’s truly a crime, a crime."

"Someone, go bring the beasts of the Rainbow Light level. Let’s have a good time today, with no end till we are thoroughly satisfied!"
