Fanatic!

Chapter 67 The Betting Begins
"Senior Sister!" Chen Wujun took a closer look at Shark Nine's eyes, and they were indeed exceptionally bright and sharp.

When he first met Shark Nine, he thought her eyes were extremely bright. At the time, he thought it was because she was skilled in martial arts, but now it seems that she has also practiced the art of "washing eyes".

"How do you grind magnetic crystals into powder? I used a steel file yesterday, but I couldn't grind off the remaining third," Chen Wujun said, stating his purpose directly.

When Shark Nine heard this, he was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Junzi, who grinds medicine by hand? The ointments used in the new technique are made by grinding crystals into powder and mixing them, so of course there is special equipment!"

“The place I took you last time, go buy some crystals and tell them to grind them into powder, and they will know what to do.”

After laughing, Shark Nine said seriously, "There will be a betting event in a few days. Do you want to place a bet on yourself?"

"Of course I'll bet! How much can I bet? What are the odds?" Chen Wujun immediately became interested.

He has a lot of money in his hands right now.

"The bookmaker is ready. It's Xinye and several outside gangs acting as bookmakers. They have considerable strength, and it's estimated that the internal betting circle will open in about half a month."

Knowing that Chen Wujun didn't understand, Sha Jiu said, "The 'internal circle' refers to the internal circle of Hetu, Lidong, and some major clients. You can also call it the VIP circle!"

"The retail investor account will not be opened to the public until a week before the betting battle."

"As for the odds..."

"Currently, on the surface, Yu Wei is Wenlong's top fighter, renowned for his skills. He also comes from a special suppression unit, with over 48% enhancement and reconstruction, and a punching power exceeding 1500 jin... You've been practicing old techniques for less than a year, and even with exceptional talent, your punching power wouldn't exceed 1000 jin..."

"Although the Broken Mouth Serpent escaped, it will definitely reveal some of your strength, but the Broken Mouth Serpent was already seriously injured..."

"I estimate your odds will be higher than 2, possibly reaching 2.5 to 1."

"Yu Wei's odds will not exceed 1 to 1.3."

"I'm betting 120 million on myself to win. How much can I get back?" Chen Wujun asked directly. He was never good at math and didn't understand odds very well.

"If the odds are 1 to 2.5, bet everything on yourself to win, and you can get back 300 million!"

"Got it? Don't squander the money I gave you the other day!" Shark Nine said with a smile.

She was afraid that Chen Wujun wouldn't know about this and would squander the 120 million yuan, so she reminded him.

"300 million... Got it." Chen Wujun clenched his fist, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

After leaving Shark Nine, he went home for dinner and discovered that his boss's right leg had fully recovered, and his left foot could barely touch the ground.

Thinking about it, it's been over a month since my eldest son's left leg was broken. I estimate that he'll be able to walk again in about half a month.

"Brother, how's your injury?" Chen Wujun asked with concern. "It looks much better?"

"It hurts terribly even when I touch it! The doctor said it will take another month."

"Take good care of your injury and don't run around," Chen Wujun said, keeping the time in mind.

The family was eating around the table while the news was playing on the television: "Today, federal police discovered three bodies in Red Incense Burner Bay, one of whom was a 33-year-old woman, and the other two were children... According to the police's preliminary assessment, this case is a murder..."

"I don't know who is so inhumane..." Huang Meizhen said after glancing at the TV.

Chen Wujun glanced at it but didn't take it to heart.

So many people die every day, it's nothing to worry about.

He has seen countless dead people in just the last few months.

……

"Shark Nine, today the Federal Police discovered the bodies of Old Ghost Bing's wife and children in Red Incense Burner Bay!"

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Shark Nine's expression instantly turned violent, and he kicked the table away.

"Damn it! Do you even know who did this?"

"You're the prime suspect!" the woman on the other end of the phone chuckled.

"Of course I know everyone will suspect me!"

"How could Old Ghost Bing be so useless? He even tried to scheme against me before he died. I thought he could take care of his wife and kids, but he turned out to be a complete scoundrel!" Shark Nine's forehead was covered in rage.

"Human hearts are unpredictable, Shark Nine! If Old Ghost Bing could see through people's hearts, he wouldn't have died at your hands," the voice on the other end of the phone said leisurely.

"Can you find out who notified his family that day? Was it Broken Mouth Snake or someone else? Can you find out where Broken Mouth Snake is?" Shark Nine asked menacingly.

"It's difficult, but I'll give it a try!"

After hanging up the phone, Shark Nine looked at the table he had smashed and felt even worse.

If she really did kill the person, it doesn't matter. Since she dared to do such a thing, she's not afraid of being criticized behind her back.

But she hates being wronged and taking the blame for others the most.

……

Flower Market Road, a well-known luxury residential area in the East Nine Districts, is famous for its low-density luxury homes in the city center.

"Fifth Uncle." A man pushed a file bag in front of Fifth Uncle.

Uncle Wu emptied the contents of the file bag, which contained several photos of corpses and an autopsy report.

Uncle Wu glanced at the photo, then picked up the autopsy report to look at it.

After a long pause, he frowned and asked, "Is it a group of people?"

The other party knew what Fifth Uncle was asking: whether the people who killed Master Bing and those who killed his whole family were the same group.

"They are the most likely candidates! It's said that the snake escaped that day, and I'm still looking for it."

Uncle Wu threw the autopsy report on the table, closed his eyes, and his brows furrowed with anger. "They crossed the line!"

If it were just Master Bing who was killed, he wouldn't say anything.

After all, this was the life of a gangster, with one foot in the grave.

But the fact that his entire family was killed, and that his wife and children died so tragically, enraged him greatly.

He was originally Bingye's main water piper. Over the years, his relationship with Bingye went beyond just money; they also had a deep personal bond.

"Continue the investigation, and notify me when you have any news."

……

"Old Gui Bing's entire family is dead? I understand." Chen Wujun hung up the phone.

"My senior sister didn't harm his family; this is clearly a frame-up. Human hearts are unpredictable; the martial world is full of conspiracies and schemes!"

'As expected, strength is still essential. Even my senior sister isn't strong enough. If you're strong enough to overwhelm everyone, no one will dare to use underhanded tactics against you, and none of this will happen.'

Chen Wujun believed that the only reliable thing was strength.

'However, before one becomes powerful enough to overwhelm everyone, one inevitably faces numerous conspiracies and schemes. One cannot assume that because one is upright and honest, one is without worry; there might be someone plotting against you from somewhere. Being in this passive position, unless the culprit is caught, is extremely difficult to prove oneself.'

'It's best to throw mud at others before they start their schemes; that way, at least the waters will be muddied.'

Chen Wujun had a sudden realization and picked up the phone to call Shark Nine, but then thought that his senior sister would definitely figure it out.

"Right now, focusing on martial arts training is the most important thing for me."

However, he still sent a text message to Shark Nine, then put the matter aside and looked at the roof tiles in front of him.

Just as he thought, Shark Nine could think of the same things he could think of.

That afternoon, rumors began to circulate in the walled city that Master Bing had been killed by Shark Nine, and that Master Bing's henchman, Slytherin, had taken his family away and killed them all in order to get Master Bing's 3000 million.

Besides the "Broken Mouth Snake" version, there are various other versions, such as He Yong, He Yi, Si Tiao, and Si Da... On one hand, it's about making money, and on the other hand, it's about framing someone...

There are even rumors that Bingye's wife had an affair with Heyong's leader.

Moreover, these rumors had just begun to circulate in the Walled City when they immediately began to spread in some places outside the Walled City as well.

"Have you heard? Master Bing's entire family is dead, his wife and children were all killed! Shark Nine is really ruthless. When you're out in the underworld, you don't involve your family. Aren't you afraid someone will do this to you?"

"I heard it was He Yi who did it? Shark Nine already killed Master Bing, there's no need for him to kill his whole family, right?"

"The Broken Mouth Snake is more suspicious. It's said that right after Master Bing died, his family ran away. It was the Broken Mouth Snake who notified them, and then they all died..."

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and all sorts of rumors spread like wildfire, stirring up the waters of Beigang Jianghu in half of the East Ninth District.

After all, this matter involves a powerful figure in the underworld, a huge sum of 3000 million yuan, grudges and feuds, and the fact that Master Bing was cuckolded, etc. These are the most eye-catching things, and there is too much to talk about.

Of course, the most suspicious one is Shark Nine.

At the Hetu Martial Arts School, Shen Deng threw a punch with incredible speed. Chen Wujun reached out and blocked it, instantly sensing Shen Deng's power and center of gravity. He followed the lead and disrupted Shen Deng's center of gravity. With a twist of his body, he passed under Shen Deng's armpit like a python turning over, and at the same time slapped Shen Deng's armpit.

It was the same move that Shark Nine used to severely injure Broken Mouth Snake.

He simply changed the chop into a palm strike, sending the genie flying several steps. The genie twisted its body, grimacing and rubbing its armpits, while shouting:

"Stop! Half of my body is numb!"

Not far away, saliva was still lying on the ground.

Chen Wujun jumped off the arena, and Cunbao, who was not far away, said, "Ah Jun, your progress is amazing!"

"The magic lamps and the others are no longer of any use. I'll train with you tomorrow."

"Thanks!" Chen Wujun smiled as he sat down, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and gulped down half of it.

Afei, Curry, Saliva, and Genie, these newly formed martial artists in the initial stage of the transformation with more than 25% enhancement and reconstruction, are still too weak and can no longer put too much pressure on Chen Wujun.

With one month left until the betting battle, Ah Hao and Cun Bao will have to train with him from now on.

“We’re on the same side, and I’ve allocated a huge sum of money this time, all of it to you! If you lose, I’ll be bankrupt!” Cunbao laughed.

Chen Wujun uses the exact same kung fu as Shark Nine, so their relationship is no longer a secret.

Of course, you should bet everything on him if he's going to explode.

As the two were talking, Shark Nine called: "The internal market opens tomorrow, get your money ready."

"Great!" Chen Wujun's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

After hanging up the phone, he went to the equipment for testing punching power. With a thud, his body sprang and twitched, his back muscles bulged, and all the power in his body came together.

boom!
The cold blue numbers on the equipment kept jumping, quickly jumping from 1000...1100...1200, and finally stopping at 1478 jin.

As his master said, his strength increased the fastest between the fourth and eighth weeks after practicing the Tiger Descending the Mountain stance.

Now, with all his strength twisted together and a bit of explosive technique, his punching power is close to 1500 jin (750 catties).

In less than a year of practicing the old techniques, Chen Wujun had trained his strength to nearly 1500 jin, even surpassing many new martial arts practitioners in the resonance stage. His physical condition was already extremely terrifying.

Although still far inferior to Yu Wei—Yu Wei doesn't need to accumulate power, nor has he developed full power, yet he can deliver over 1500 jin (750 catties) in a single punch, and his physical qualities far surpass Chen Wujun's.

But this is enough.

And there's still a month until the betting battle.
