"You really don't want it?"
"No need."
Even Gu Bingrui did not expect Lorne to refuse. Just like the other students around her, in her opinion, even if Chen Kun only used one Dire Beast, Lorne was not a core student of the academy, so his strength was probably not high, the chances of winning were almost zero.
This mainly involved the evolution of the Dire Beasts.
Evolution resources were very scarce in the world of Magic Card Masters. Chen Kun had a strong and wealthy family background and was a core student. Even if his Dire Beast was only at the White-rank, it had evolved at least once.
Lorne was at most a White-rank Magic Card Master. His family did not look too good either. Obviously, it was impossible for him to have the resources to evolve his Dire Beast. Under such circumstances, Gu Bingrui really could not understand...why would Lorne refuse?
"Could it be that he thinks he can win?"
Gu Bingrui looked at Lorne. From the beginning to the end, his expression was very calm, without the slightest bit of nervousness.
"Interesting!"
"I want to see if you really have the strength, or are you just boasting and pretending to be calm."
'Crazy! Crazy! Lorne, you're really crazy, wasting resources.'
From Yang Kai's point of view, Lorne's Ice Carp would not be his much longer.
"Hehe! Lorne is going to lose for sure."
Lorne agreed to the bet, and Zhou Jie felt a wave of joy in his heart. He could not wait to see Lorne's Dire Beast being heavily injured or even dying.
"Let's go, the Academy's Battle Arena."
A group of people majestically headed toward the Academy's Battle Arena.
The Academy's Battle Arena, the Seventh Magic Card Master Academy. The academy specially built this place for students to battle to raise their strength. The other areas of the academy did not allow Dire Beasts to be released into battle, but it was allowed in here.
There were a total of twelve arenas. Lorne and Chen Kun directly came to one of the arenas.
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many people here?"
"The school belle...!"
"The goddess is here too."
The students who were fighting in the arena were also confused by the arrival of the group of people. However, none of the students paid attention to them. The next focus of attention was the gambling match between Lorne and Chen Kun.
"What's going on?"
"Did you see that? That ordinary student, the Magic Card Master, wants to have a gambling match with Chen Kun."
"Huh?"
"No way, is that person crazy?"
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but the stakes in this gambling match aren't small. Did you see the Ice Carp seedlings, Dark Soul Stones, and Space-patterned Wood over there? They are the stakes for this gambling match."
"Gulp!"
"Ice pattern scales."
"Could that be an Ice Carp that can grow into an Overlord-rank Dire Beast?"
"That's right. We also know where Lorne found the Ice Carp's nest and even found its seedlings. He's really lucky."
"It's just that his brain isn't working. He's just giving Chen Kun resources."
"Did you hear? The core students of Class 3 are having a gambling match with a White-grade Magic Card Master from Class 5."
"It can't be."
"It's true. The news on the official website of the Seventh Card Master Academy is out."
"Let's go and watch."
"Of course."
"Oh my God! It's really that trash from our class."
"He actually challenged Chen Kun from Class 3?"
"It seems like not only is he a piece of trash but he also has a problem with his brain. How pitiful."
"Is he from your class?"
"Yeah, that guy's name is Lorne. He just broke through White-grade Tier 6 recently. It's his first time going to the academy's vast mystery land and he even failed to seal it. He's the person who's holding our class back. I didn't expect that he would actually dare to challenge Chen Kun today."
"He just broke through White-grade Tier 6 before the college entrance examination. Now he wants to challenge Chen Kun. This means that there's really something wrong with this person's brain."
Before the battle between the two had even begun, more than a hundred students had gathered at the Academy's Battle Arena when they heard the news. Most of them were grade 12 students. All of them were here to join in the fun, for a time, it caused quite a stir in the academy.
However, 99% of them were here to watch Chen Kun beat up Lorne's Dire Beast. As for whether Lorne could win, it was completely out of their consideration.
"Gulp!"
"He's not...!"
"Ah! I really didn't expect it to be him."
Yuan Long and Zhang Hai, who had also just come out of the Academy's Mystic Realm, had also come to the battle arena after hearing the news.
When they saw the two people on the battlefield, especially Lorne, they naturally recognized them at a glance.
"The people around are really idiots. Although I don't know why this monster is hiding its strength, I don't think Lorne can win just by relying on the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger that can suppress an Overlord-grade Dire Beast."
"Yeah."
"There's going to be a good show to watch."
"The dean just received news that Lorne and Chen Kun are having a gambling match on the battlefield."
"Then it's good that you can bet resources over them...take a look at the potential of Lorne's Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger."
"Alright."
Since the matter had already blown up to such an extent, the academy naturally received the news as well.
"Buzz buzz."
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Chen Kun did not intend to wait any longer. He wanted to defeat Lorne in an absolutely crushing manner and let him know the consequences of provoking the core students.
"It's here."
"It's finally starting."
"Bang!"
"Rhinoceros."
A Rhinoceros that weighed a few tons and was covered in a thick layer of leather armor with sharp fangs appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Chen Kun actually sent out a Rhinoceros."
"That's the Rhinoceros that is ranked 23rd on our Seventh Magic Card Master Academy's ranking. This is the first time I've seen it."
"Standing below the stage, I can feel the terrifying might of the Rhinoceros."
"As expected of a core student's Dire Beast. It's so strong."
"The evolved Dire Beasts are indeed different. Moreover, the most powerful thing of the Rhinoceros is not its attack, but its defense. Unless that Lorne has a Green-grade 1-star or even 2-star Dire Beast, it's absolutely impossible for him to break the Rhinoceros' defense."
"That guy is really in trouble."
The Seventh Magic Card Master Academy, the Magic Card ranking list, listed the top fifty Dire Beasts, Exotic Beasts, and Spirit Beasts in the second and third years of the academy.
It must be known that there were more than a thousand Dire Beasts and Exotic Beasts in the second and third years of the academy. Those who could enter the top fifty were not ordinary Dire Beasts. Their strength was definitely at the top of the academy.
To be able to enter the top 30 and be ranked 23rd was something only the core students of the academy could do.
It could be said that the Dire Beasts and Exotic Beast Magic Cards of the core students of the third year of the academy occupied most of the places on the list.
"The Rhinoceros is Chen Kun's second strongest Dire Beast Magic Card, right? To deal with a White-grade Tier 6 Magic Card Master and send out his own second strongest Dire Beast Magic Card, what a waste," Qin Feng said disdainfully.
[Rhinoceros]
Race: Beast
Species: Thick armor/Mammoth race
Rank: Peak White-grade 8-star
Status: Perfect
Innate skill: Earthquake sprint
Description: An evolved Mammoth Beast Rhinoceros, inheriting the huge system of the former. Its entire body is covered in a thick layer of elephant armor, and its defense is astonishing. It is a tank-type beast with high health.
"Hehe! It just had to send out a meat shield."
To the others, this kind of beast with thick blood and meat shield was very difficult to deal with. But to Lorne, he did not believe that this Rhinoceros horn beast's defense could withstand the attacks of the forest overlord, the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger.
As an Overlord-grade Dire Beast, Blackie's strongest strength was its defense breaking ability. There were very few beasts, Exotic Beasts, and Spirit Beasts that could withstand Blackie in the Green-grade.
Obviously, the Rhinoceros was not one of them.
