22: Chapter 22 Pikachu Prince 22: Chapter 22 Pikachu Prince Huo Shuangpei is the Sanda champion of Wanghai City, everyone knows this.
As soon as they heard Huo Shuangpei was going to compete against Wang Yan in Sanda, the whole crowd erupted in an uproar.
It’s like people from the Celestial Dynasty competing against Americans in using chopsticks, clearly bullying.
The noise from the surrounding people showed their disdain and contempt for Huo Shuangpei, and everyone believed Wang Yan would never agree.
Huo Shuangpei also guessed that Wang Yan wouldn’t agree.
If Wang Yan didn’t, he could have a reason to brush off the previous bet.
Who would’ve thought, Wang Yan answered, “Okay, I agree.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan agree, Huo Shuangpei was first delighted; Sanda was his forte, while rock climbing was at best a hobby for him.
If Wang Yan dared to challenge him in the ring, all his grudges today, Huo Shuangpei would repay Wang Yan double.
Thinking of this, Huo Shuangpei’s lips curled up into a vicious smile.
However, Huo Shuangpei then saw Wang Yan’s indifferent expression again, and felt a bit scared, thinking back to how carefree Wang Yan seemed during rock climbing.
“Could this kid be a Sanda expert too?” Huo Shuangpei was immediately anxious, but the thought quickly passed, as such a coincidence was unlikely.
So, Huo Shuangpei confidently said, “Our bet is losing one Maserati, how about yours?”
Beiming Xue said, “If we lose, we’ll also wager one Maserati.”
Upon hearing this, the whole crowd immediately erupted.
Two Maseratis at stake in this bet, and they’re the only two in all of Wanghai City; this bet is really worth watching.
Huo Shuangpei was thrilled upon hearing this and said, “Great, let’s go to the War God Association now.”
Two Maseratis sped off like the wind from Liuluo Bay Entertainment City, with hundreds of cars following behind.
These cars were filled with spectators from before, who despite planning to spend time at the entertainment city, couldn’t miss out on witnessing this sensational news opportunity.
Though their cars couldn’t catch up to the Maseratis, they all knew the War God Association.
The War God Association is the gathering place for martial arts enthusiasts in Wanghai, and a venue for martial artists to fight in the ring.
Huo Shuangpei is a regular there and a hot favorite for bets in underground gambling dens.
As soon as he entered the War God Association, Huo Shuangpei quickly regained his confidence.
Four or five assistants immediately came out to welcome Huo Shuangpei, leading him into the VIP room, bringing him competition-specific attire, a golden cloak, and a professional masseur to relax his muscles.
Wang Yan, meanwhile, was much worse off.
No one even acknowledged him, not even a changing room was available, and he was dressed in a suit, which obviously wasn’t suitable for the competition. The source of thɪs content is ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Seeing Huo Shuangpei in such glory, Ouyang Feiting’s previous anger gradually dissipated.
She said to Huo Shuangpei, “Later in the ring, make sure to pound that pretty boy into a pig’s head.”
Huo Shuangpei smiled smugly, “Don’t worry, honey, you’ll be driving two Maseratis soon.”
On the other side, Wang Yan and Beiming Xue found a changing room for Wang Yan to switch out of his suit.
Fortunately, the two had done some shopping before going to the entertainment city, and in the back seat of the car were some cartoon casual outfits Beiming Xue bought for Wang Yan, which she had Wang Yan change into.
Wang Yan didn’t know which cartoon animal was on the outfit, but seeing that Beiming Xue liked it, he put it on directly.
While Wang Yan was changing, Beiming Xue ran out and soon returned excitedly, smugly telling Wang Yan, “Betting has started outside.
Your odds are 1 to 10, and I’ve placed all my pocket money of 1 million on you.”
“1 to 10?” Wang Yan smiled lightly, “After the match, you can win 10 million.”
Beiming Xue laughed, “Haha, I’m so happy, didn’t expect making money to be this easy, pocket money suddenly increased.”
At this time, a chubby staff member poked his head in from the door, saying coldly, “The game starts in five minutes, get ready.
It’s better to call for an ambulance in advance, lest you’re too late later.”
Upon hearing this, Beiming Xue shouted angrily, “You’ll see later how Brother Wang Yan defeats him.”
The chubby staff impatiently said, “Whatever, whatever, let me hurry and bet on Huo Shuangpei winning during these five minutes.
Apparently, the odds are 10 to 1 now.
Betting a thousand bucks can still win a hundred.”
The chubby staff muttered as he left.
Hearing his odds completely reversed with Huo Shuangpei’s, Wang Yan couldn’t help but chuckle.
At this moment, the largest ring of the War God Association was brightly lit, surrounded by tens of thousands of spectators, many without seats, standing in the aisles.
Seeing so many people inside, the owner of the War God Association was almost laughing his head off.
The more people, the more bets, the more he earns.
Though most people bet on Huo Shuangpei winning, some were opportunistic and bet on Wang Yan winning.
Especially one person bet a million on Wang Yan.
Just this one bet would earn him back tonight.
At this time, all the spotlights shone on the ring as the music suddenly started.
And then a host in a black suit with shiny hair stood in front of the ring, “Ladies and gentlemen, today’s ring battle has finally begun.”
“Wow—” Thunderous applause, as everyone was looking forward to the battle between Wang Yan and Huo Shuangpei.
The host said, “Today’s ring champion will be our Invincible General Huo Shuangpei, and today’s challenger is an unknown rookie.
Will Huo Shuangpei be able to successfully defend his title, or will the rookie reverse the outcome?
Let us watch and see.
Now, let’s welcome our defending champion—Huo Shuangpei—”
As the host finished speaking, the powerful music suddenly erupted, then all the spotlights focused on a wooden door on the left.
The music grew more intense and louder, reaching its peak, and the wooden door opened, with Huo Shuangpei walking out.
At this moment, Huo Shuangpei was wearing sports shorts and a tight top, displaying all his muscles.
Behind him was a golden cloak, and at his waist, a golden championship belt.
Four or five young bald men emerged from both sides, further accentuating Huo Shuangpei’s extraordinary presence.
Inside, seeing Huo Shuangpei come out dominantly, everyone cheered excitedly.
The scene immediately filled with cheers for Huo Shuangpei.
At this time, Ouyang Feiting was sitting in the audience.
Seeing Huo Shuangpei so dazzling, she couldn’t help but smile.
After Huo Shuangpei entered, the host said, “Next, we’re inviting our mysterious challenger.
Who has the guts to challenge our Invincible General Huo Shuangpei?
Now, let’s welcome the challenger to come out!”
With this comment from the host, the music suddenly stopped, and the venue fell silent, with only one spotlight shining on the door on the right.
With the door opening, Wang Yan walked out, smiling.
Seeing Wang Yan’s outfit, everyone was stunned.
Wang Yan was dressed in a light yellow sports outfit, nothing like Huo Shuangpei’s professional attire.
And on this outfit was a cartoon animal image, the animal was none other than a cute and clumsy Pikachu.
“Hahaha—” After a momentary shock, all the audience burst into laughter.
The host also laughed, “No wonder he dared to challenge our Invincible General, turns out the challenger is the Pikachu Prince.
So, will Invincible General Huo Shuangpei win today, or will the Pikachu Prince successfully challenge him?
Now I declare, the challenge stage tournament begins.”
