No sooner had he finished speaking than the Lingren King in the arena openly declared, "Oh right, there's something I forgot to mention. The stakes in today's duel are the position of the Lord of Tianjun."
"If you lose, you'll have to give up your position as the Lord of Tianjun. Don't try to cheat then, or it will look too bad."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Cao Mang laughed in anger: "That dog is truly shameless! In a race, someone actually raises the stakes halfway through the game. Do you think we're idiots?"
The rest of the crowd joined in the cursing.
No matter how you look at it, they have absolutely no reason to side with Lingrenwang.
Ling Renwang, however, didn't care: "Whether you recognize it or not is irrelevant. The key is that the track god approves of it."
He pointed upwards as he spoke.
The bet he just placed has somehow actually been increased!
The entire audience was stunned.
It's one thing for Ling Renwang to talk to himself, but it's another thing to gain the approval of the track.
The former can be completely ignored, but the latter is different. The approval of the track god is not necessarily an absolute and inviolable divine decree for Tianjun, but it is not far off.
Even if it doesn't directly overthrow the New Heavenly Palace system, it's enough to cause Lin Yi considerable trouble.
Lin Yi glanced sideways.
Although he was not surprised at all, just like Zhang Baiyu, he still couldn't help but look at it differently.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the track's main god is cooperating like this shows that this guy's authority is truly exaggerated.
It's probably no longer a typical B-grade.
An ordinary person suddenly receiving such power, instantly transforming from a nobody to a superior, certainly has the right to be arrogant.
Ling Renwang looked at Lin Yi smugly: "How about it? Why don't you just surrender? Since you know what's good for you, I can keep you as my deputy, at least I can save some face for you."
Lin Yi didn't even glance at him, and continued rolling the dice to move forward.
Just like before, this time it was the same grid that Lingrenwang had drawn in the previous round.
Lin Yi flipped it open directly.
Calamity.
Health points were halved, dropping directly from 3000 to 1500.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense.
With 3000 life points, there might still be a chance to recover, but now Lin Yi only has 1500 life points left, which is a real killing threshold.
If the next wave of results in another bad character, it will most likely be a death sentence.
Could it be that Tianjun is really going to change hands today?
The thought that the ruler of Tianjun might be replaced by Lingren Wang immediately caused all parties to lose their composure.
Even now, although most of the major forces in Tianjun have been incorporated into the new Tiangong system, they are not completely loyal, and there are quite a few people who secretly criticize Lin Yi.
However, even these people can't help but start to worry about Lin Yi now.
Even if they were dissatisfied with Lin Yi, it was only because of the difference in their relationship with him; they couldn't get the biggest slice of the pie through Lin Yi, that was all.
They still held Lin Yi in high esteem.
On the other hand, if Lingren Wang were to actually become the ruler of Tianjun, then that old saying would truly come true.
He does not look like a ruler.
Comparisons are inevitable, and with such a person as a foil, Lin Yi's image suddenly became much more imposing in everyone's eyes.
As a result, the cohesion of the entire Tianjun County has increased considerably.
Ling Renwang never imagined that his shrewd move would actually help Lin Yi win over a group of people.
At this moment, he was still laughing triumphantly.
"A leopard can't change its spots! I've already told you, these grids are subject to change. Just because you follow me around and eat shit doesn't mean you'll get anything hot. Why won't you listen?"
As he spoke, he took another step forward and uttered another "good".
His life points skyrocketed to 25000.
25000 vs 1500.
This gap truly left everyone feeling hopeless.
Even those loyal supporters who had unwavering faith in Lin Yi began to waver. Even though Lin Yi had pulled off miraculous comebacks more than once or twice, this time it was truly uncertain.
There is absolutely no hope in sight.
However, some people still cling to the hope that they might get away with it.
"What if Lingren Wang steps on the word 'death' in the next wave?"
The people around shook their heads.
In theory, this possibility does exist.
Of the ten squares in the arena, the most decisive one is the "death" square. Whoever steps on it, no matter how high their life points are, will die instantly.
Even if Ling Renwang's life value were ten times higher than 25000, he would still die in an instant.
The problem is, he has to step on it first.
Someone nearby scoffed, "What nonsense are you talking about? He went through so many rounds and all he got were good numbers. Do you really think he got them by luck?"
The man choked on his words: "That's impossible, he must have cheated."
"Exactly, since he's cheating, how could he possibly step on the word 'death'?"
Everyone sighed.
Lingren Wang smiled mockingly: "Come on, it's your turn."
Lin Yi remained silent, observed carefully for a moment, and then began to roll the dice.
Everyone watching from the sidelines was on the edge of their seats.
Number 3.
Lingren Wang's expression changed slightly.
Throughout all those rounds, Lin Yi always got bad luck, while he always got good luck; it certainly wasn't due to luck.
The key lies in the behind-the-scenes manipulation.
As the rule designer for this track competition, he is clear about the specific distribution of the squares in each round.
On the surface, the grid changes randomly every round, but in reality, it is all pseudo-random.
The order of the changes was all planned in advance by him.
His only task was to control the number rolled on the dice each time.
He can control his own points, and he can control Lin Yi's points in the same way.
In this way, he could easily place himself in the "good" square and Lin Yi in the "bad" square, which is why we have the current situation.
The problem now is that Lin Yi's points shouldn't be 3.
Ling Renwang forced himself to keep a straight face, afraid that Lin Yi would notice something amiss.
At this moment, the square under Lin Yi's feet is the character "好" (good), but having suffered setbacks all the way to this point, Lin Yi might not have the courage to turn it over.
As a result, Lin Yi did not hesitate at all and chose to open it directly.
Ling Renwang's face froze instantly.
With only a few lives left, how dare they flip like that?
The crowd outside the stadium was too afraid to even watch.
Fortune.
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "It seems my luck is starting to change."
As he spoke, his life points immediately increased by 2000, reaching 3500.
This puts us back in the safe zone.
The entire audience immediately erupted in cheers.
Even though the difference in life points was still huge, this was absolutely a lifesaver for Lin Yi, who had been carrying the burden all the way. It didn't completely turn the tide, but at least it gave people a chance to turn things around.
Ling Renwang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot on the spot.
He had a vague, extremely ominous premonition.
Given that the idea suddenly spiraled out of control, coupled with Lin Yi's performance, it is highly likely that this was not a simple accident.
However, on the surface, Lingren Wang still looked down on him: "You just got lucky this time. You're still going to die anyway. It's just a matter of enduring a couple more rounds. What's the difference?"
