Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"Let's continue," the woman in the suit said, showing no sign of distress at losing millions.

"Of course we'll continue," Zhang Jianyun said confidently.

The beautiful woman then began shuffling the cards. After shuffling, she handed the cards to the card dealer, who then began dealing the cards.

The three cards were dealt very quickly.

"Blind one million." The woman in the suit continued playing blind cards.

"I'll bet a million," Zhang Jianyun said, pushing a million-dollar chip to the center of the gambling table.

"Stopping 2 million."

The woman in the suit suddenly raised her bet, pushing 2 million chips to the center of the table.

"Two million."

Zhang Jianyun followed suit without hesitation, since he had to wait three rounds before revealing his cards.

"Let's make a rule, okay? The maximum number of times you can bet blind is 2 million," Zhang Jianyun said after pushing the chips to the center of the table.

"Okay." The woman in the suit nodded, acknowledging the rule.

"Stopping 2 million."

After nodding, the woman in the suit pushed up another 2 million chips.

"Call," Zhang Jianyun continued to call.

"Stopping 2 million."

"Two million hidden." Zhang Jianyun said, flipping over three cards: a Jack of Hearts, a Ten of Diamonds, and a Fifty of Clubs.

"Haha, it's only J big." Seeing Zhang Jianyun's hand, the woman in the suit laughed heartily, feeling confident of victory, believing that her hand wouldn't be lower than Zhang Jianyun's.

The woman in the suit immediately revealed her cards. Upon seeing the three cards, her usually calm expression instantly turned grim.

"She's only 10 o'clock."

Upon seeing the woman in the suit's trump card, Han Jiaqi was instantly overjoyed, her expression filled with excitement.

The woman in the suit has three hole cards: 10 of hearts, 5 of clubs, and 3 of clubs.

"It's a little embarrassing, I'm only a little older than you," Zhang Jianyun said innocently.

As Zhang Jianyun spoke, he gestured for the table girl to push the chips from the center of the gambling table toward him.

"Want to play again?"

Zhang Jianyun asked with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, the woman in the suit looked at Zhang Jianyun and shook her head: "You're too lucky. I won't play with you today. I'll play with you another day."

"Playing Texas Hold'em is better with a group of people to utilize some skills. When you play with just two people, it's purely a matter of luck," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Let's add each other on WeChat and invite some friends over to hang out another day," the woman in the suit said, taking out her phone.

Zhang Jianyun also took out his phone and added the woman in the suit on WeChat. Only then did he learn that the woman's name was Meng Qing.

"You're so lucky today, do you want to play some other games?" Meng Qing asked.

"Forget it, a little gambling is harmless fun. I don't know how to play other cards either," Zhang Jianyun said, shaking his head.

"A few million is just a small bet in your eyes?" Meng Qing asked with a smile.

"I just said it offhand."

Afterwards, Zhang Jianyun said goodbye to Meng Qing and took Han Jiaqi to a bar outside the casino. They sat down in a booth, ordered two drinks, and started playing the game "World Domination".

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. After finishing a game of World Domination, Han Jiaqi reminded Zhang Jianyun that it was time to go to the administrative office of the boxing stadium to apply to become a boxer.

"Walk."

Zhang Jianyun led Han Jiaqi to the administrative office of the boxing stadium.

Upon arriving at the administrative office, I knocked on the door and entered.

"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?" There was only one young man in the office at the moment.

"I'm here to apply to become a boxer in the boxing ring," Zhang Jianyun said.

The young man sized up Zhang Jianyun: "What level of martial artist are you?"

"He possesses fifty years of skill," Zhang Jianyun stated, quoting a number.

"Have you broken through to the Historical Realm yet?"

"A breakthrough has been achieved."

"We can accept martial artists at the History Sea Realm to box here, but you can't use crystal energy. Once you have any crystal energy fluctuations, you will automatically lose the match," the young man said.

"No problem, I can do without using crystal energy," Zhang Jianyun said.

"You are a martial artist at the History Sea Realm, so you can go to the capital Xuezhou. The Illusion Dragon Underground Martial Arts Arena there can even accept experts at the Eighth Phase Realm, allowing you to unleash your full strength."

"Even a powerhouse at the Eighth Phase Realm would fight in underground boxing?" Zhang Jianyun was somewhat surprised.

"They're just experts at the Eighth Phase Realm. What's wrong with fighting them? They're human too, and they need money too," the young man said.

"Can the Phantom Dragon Boxing Arena withstand a fight between experts at the Eighth Phase Realm?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously.

"The Phantom Dragon Boxing Arena is a small world where you can fight as much as you want," the young man said.

"Have you been to the Phantom Dragon Arena?"

"I interned there," the young man said proudly.

"Then you're amazing."

"Do you want to register here again?" the young man asked.

"Register, since we're already here, we should at least have a match," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Alright, then I won't test your strength. After all, if you just give false information about your strength, you'll only get beaten up." The young man said, taking out a form and filling in Zhang Jianyun's information.

"Do I need to pay?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"We don't use that here," the young man said, entering Zhang Jianyun's information into the computer.

"Are you playing a match today?"

"Hmm, could you arrange one for me if you could?"

"Alright, there are several martial artists here whose strength is similar to yours. I'll make an appointment for you." The young man said, and began to make an appointment for Zhang Jianyun.

A short while later, I successfully booked a martial artist.

"How about we schedule the match for 7 o'clock?" the young man asked.

"Sure, I can start right now," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Okay, I'll set the time for 7 o'clock."

After setting the match time, the young man said, "You'll have to pay for your own boxing outfit; the cheap ones will cost around 300 yuan."

"Okay, give me a set for 300," Zhang Jianyun said.

After buying a boxing uniform and changing into it, Zhang Jianyun stretched his body while asking Han Jiaqi to find out how many people had bet on their match.

Han Jiaqi went to the bar and kept an eye on the people placing bets, constantly informing Zhang Jianyun via text message.

He's a newcomer, and not many people are betting on him to win. It's almost 7 o'clock and only about 300 people have bet on him to win.

However, many more people have placed bets on his opponent, Musashi Koju; more than 3000 people have already placed bets.

Zhang Jianyun naturally hoped that as many people as possible would bet on Gu Shou to win, so that he could gain more hostility points by defeating Gu Shou.

Before they knew it, it was almost 7 o'clock. Zhang Jianyun walked down from the second floor and headed towards the boxing ring.

Gu Shou had already arrived at the boxing ring and was slightly surprised to see the slender and young Zhang Jianyun arrive.

However, the boxing ring wouldn't arrange for a weak person to fight him; their strength must be roughly equal.

"I am Gu Shou. This is our first time fighting. Please show mercy."

"I am Luo Yue. This is my first time boxing here. Please give me your guidance."

The boxing referee explained the rules to both sides, then blew the whistle, and the match began.

boom!

Gu Shou threw a punch at Zhang Jianyun's head, and Zhang Jianyun blocked it with his own fist.

Bang bang bang!

The two clashed fiercely, and even the referees on the sidelines dared not get too close to them.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun threw a hook punch at Gu Shou's chin. Gu Shou hurriedly dodged, but Zhang Jianyun immediately followed up with a straight punch that landed on Gu Shou's face, causing Gu Shou to swerve.

"Oh~"

Those watching the fight gasped in surprise, not expecting the newcomer to defeat Gu Shou first, who was a well-known boxer at Qixia Mountain Boxing Stadium.

Those who had bought Kosuke started to get nervous and began to quietly cheer for Kosuke.

Bang bang bang!

After exchanging punches, the two became entangled, and the referee quickly stepped in to separate them.

call out!

After they separated, Gu Shou kept jumping around, tentatively attacking Zhang Jianyun.

boom!

Just as Gu Shou was about to launch another attack, Zhang Jianyun punched Gu Shou in the fist, knocking Gu Shou backward.

Then, Zhang Jianyun rushed over and punched Gu Shou in the chest. Gu Shou hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest, trying to block the attack.

Snapped!

With his right fist, he punched Gu Shou in the chest, and with his left fist, he struck Gu Shou's right shoulder, knocking Gu Shou to the ground.

Zhang Jianyun pressed down on Gu Shou and was about to throw a punch at Gu Shou's head when the referee grabbed Zhang Jianyun's waist, stopping his attack.

Gu Shou seized the opportunity to flip himself up and slip to the edge of the boxing ring.

"Go, Koshou, show me your true skills."

"Damn it, Gu Shou, what's wrong with you today? Where did your usual swagger go?"

"Gu Shou, you can't even beat a newcomer, what face do you have to stay at Qixia Mountain?"

Those who had bet on Gu Shou to win were now in a state of high spirits, denouncing Gu Shou, while those who had placed large bets began to harbor hatred towards Zhang Jianyun.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun chased Gu Shou to the edge of the boxing ring and threw a punch at Gu Shou's head. Gu Shou dodged and then threw a hook punch at Zhang Jianyun.

Snapped!

Zhang Jianyun threw a punch to meet Gu Shou's punch head-on. Their fists collided, and this time, Zhang Jianyun did not gain the upper hand. It was clear that Gu Shou was starting to use his full strength.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Shou launched a series of punches, forcing Zhang Jianyun to the edge of the boxing ring.

"Good job, keep it up."

"Knock him off the boxing ring."

"Beat him hard, beat him to death."

Seeing that Gu Shou had gained the upper hand, those who bet on Gu Shou and won cheered excitedly, wishing they could rush onto the stage and beat Zhang Jianyun to death.

clap clap clap!

After a brief exchange of punches, Zhang Jianyun suddenly threw a punch at Gu Shou's chest, and Gu Shou met it with a punch of his own.

boom!

Their fists collided with a loud bang, and Gu Shou was sent flying to the ground by Zhang Jianyun.

Feeling the power of Zhang Jianyun's punch, Gu Shou was furious. Zhang Jianyun's strength was clearly far beyond his own; they were not in the same league. The boxing ring should not have arranged for the two of them to fight.

Enraged, Gu Shou was already facing Zhang Jianyun's fist, and he had no choice but to keep dodging.

When the onlookers saw the situation reverse again, a barrage of insults erupted.

"Was it a fixed match? How come Gu Shou was knocked away with just one punch?"

"Are they putting on an act? When did Gu Shou become so weak?"

"Gu Shou handed over the money? This is clearly an act!"

Hearing the various insults from the spectators, Gu Shou became even angrier. He really wanted to shout that Zhang Jianyun's strength far surpassed his own, and that this boxing match should never have happened.

However, Gu Shou cannot do this because there are regulations in the boxing ring. Boxing rings often make mistakes and arrange boxers of unequal strength to fight. In this case, the weaker party can only appeal to the management after the match to apply for compensation. They cannot terminate the match or publicize it, otherwise they will be fined or have their boxer's license revoked.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Shou blocked Zhang Jianyun's attacks while constantly dodging, looking quite disheveled.

"Qixia Mountain Boxing Stadium is so corrupt, they actually fix matches."

"Give us our money back! How could you arrange such a mismatch between our skill levels? Give us a full refund."

"That's Luo Yue, right? He just arrived and started fixing matches. He has no conscience at all and cheats everyone out of their money. I'll hire someone to kill him."

The crowd became agitated, and various insults arose. Those who had bet on Gu Shou to win began to feel hatred towards Zhang Jianyun, and this hatred continued to escalate until it turned into hostility.

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

······

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

In an instant, Zhang Jianyun gained hostility points, bringing his total to [number missing]. This was even faster and more satisfying than gaining hostility points by posting provocative threads on a forum. He was even somewhat addicted to this feeling, wishing he could be surrounded by it forever.

Bang bang bang!

clap clap clap!

Zhang Jianyun didn't knock Gu Shou to the ground directly, but instead pressed down on him, giving Gu Shou some space to attack and dodge, so that the situation wasn't one-sided and it seemed like Gu Shou still had a chance.

"Gu Shou, you son of a bitch, go all out! I don't believe you're only this good."

"Gu Shou, if you lose today, your house will be burned down."

"Gu Shou, if I lose money today, you'd better not have an easy time either."

Those who bet on Gu Shou to win now hate not only Zhang Jianyun, but also Gu Shou. They don't believe that Gu Shou is no match for Zhang Jianyun and think that Gu Shou is throwing the match and not using his true strength.

"You surnamed Luo, you threw a fight on your first try at the Qixia Mountain boxing ring, do you have any conscience at all?"

"Luo Yue, I'll remember your name. From today onwards, your name will be tainted on Qixia Mountain."

"Hey Luo, since you dare to fix the match and treat us unfairly, you just wait and see. I'll show you what social injustice is like."

Suddenly, a barrage of insults and curses against Zhang Jianyun erupted, with the crowd hurling insults without restraint.

This scene terrified Han Jiaqi. She felt that if these people found out that she was with Zhang Jianyun, she would probably be beaten up by them!

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Koshou's fans."

······

In a short while, Zhang Jianyun gained hostility points, and this number continued to climb, soon reaching the maximum hostility threshold.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the boxing stadium management quickly stopped the match.

This disappointed Zhang Jianyun somewhat, but he still felt a sense of satisfaction upon seeing the hostility level.

"Since the match has been stopped, this bet is null and void. Refund your money!"

"You have to give me my money back, or I'll smash up the boxing ring today."

"If you dare not refund my money, I'll burn this boxing ring down today."

The boxing ring manager was also frightened by the hostile crowd; they rarely encountered such a scene.

"Please calm down, everyone. Our manager will be here soon, and he will give you a reasonable solution," the manager said loudly, trying to quell the situation.
