At that moment, Qing Chen and his companion turned and walked toward the backstage of the boxing arena, while Li Yinuo held her breath and turned her attention to the holographic touch screen in the private room.
More than ten minutes later, in the private room, Li Yinuo and Nan Gengchen exclaimed as they saw the fighter information on the holographic screen suddenly update—the next match's lineup included Qing Chen, under the alias Qing Xiaotu!
The Rookie Grade Classification Match!
As the event information updated, pure oxygen began to be pumped into all the ventilation ducts, increasing the oxygen concentration throughout the venue.
In just a few minutes, gamblers and spectators could quickly reach the peak of excitement!
The so-called classification match meant that there were new fighters debuting that night, and these three words instantly aroused cheers from the crowd that shook the tables into trembling.
Generally, a classification match had two outcomes: a rookie fought through several matches and rose to prominence, or a rookie fell within the octagon cage.
For all fighters, this was the most grueling night.
Many a Land Cruise Grade fighter had started their journey on such a night, always providing gamblers with new expectations of the rookies.
At this moment, only Li Yinuo's heart raced with excitement.
Others might not know, but she was well aware of Uncle Li Dong and Chen Jiazhang's history in unsanctioned boxing, and several Knights had chosen this path to gain practical experience after completing one or two life-and-death challenges.
Li Yinuo silently watched the octagon cage, suddenly feeling like she was witnessing the birth of a new Knight, a sensation even more thrilling than her experience at Taboo Land no. 002, for she had missed the rising of Uncle Li Dong, Chen Jiazhang, and Qing Chen's ascent up the perilous cliff.
But this time, she didn't miss it.
Li Yinuo did not sit down, but instead stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass in the private room, waiting patiently. She said to Nan Gengchen, "According to the rules, the first night goes up to Tiger Grade at most, and the Land Cruise Grade classification matches are held on Saturdays, so let's bet a million. I wager he'll make it through tonight."
The boxing arena had many betting options; one could bet on which match Qing Chen would fall in.
Nan Gengchen glanced at the odds on the holographic screen: "If you're betting on him to make it through, the odds are seventeen to one, with a maximum bet of five hundred thousand."
"Why is it five hundred thousand? I remember there being no limit," Li Yinuo asked.
"The prompt says the limit for a classification match is five hundred thousand," Nan Gengchen explained.
"That little? It seems the arena is wary of fighters who might play possum, hence the limit," Li Yinuo frowned, "Then let's bet five hundred thousand."
However, no sooner had the private room placed the maximum bet than a figure with a swaying gait walked in—it was the same woman who had welcomed them at the entrance.
The woman beamed with a smile and said, "Miss Yino didn't hesitate to go for the maximum bet. Could it be that you're familiar with this new fighter?"
The woman sported big wavy curls and her red lips brimmed with seductiveness.
"You have quite the nose for these things, huh? What, afraid someone's going to play possum and make you lose money?" Li Yinuo sneered, "Mind your own business, and don't pry into what you shouldn't."
The woman chuckled, "Look at you, I'm just showing a little concern. Alright, I'll go take care of the others outside. Enjoy your drink, have fun, and I wish you a pleasant evening."

With that, the woman sauntered out, her waist swaying like water. She said to her subordinate waiting outside, "Lower the odds for making it through."
