Chapter 876 - 107: Winning the Champion’s Title, A Perfect Finale!

If most of the territory cheered for Su Li’s identity as the Gold-Burning Hammer, there was certainly one person who did not share in this excitement.

And that person was Blood Shield·Jes Stewart!

Although he was a knight from outside the territory, his enormous debt had already destined him to become Su Li’s attendant.

And the result was that the final match was between him and Su Li?

If he won, the lord wouldn’t give him a hard time in the future? But if he lost, all the money and ransoms he paid would be wasted, wouldn’t they?

What do you call this? It’s called being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

So, on the day of the finals, nobody had any faith in him. In the Lion Ring Arena, the deafening cheers were almost all for Su Li.

Jes Stewart had a strong mental fortitude, otherwise facing all this, the sense of disparity would have been great enough to cause despair and collapse, like facing the whole world alone.

In fact, not only was he not confident in this match, but gamblers also cast their votes with real money.

The vast majority of people put their wealth into supporting Su Li. Even though the returns were low due to the odds, the bet was a sure win. When you know the result of a match, the gains are still not bad, sometimes reaching 10% to 20%, who wouldn’t go crazy?

Commoners could invest 10 Golden Crowns, and earn 2 Golden Crowns from a single match, equivalent to what their family worked hard for an entire year to earn.

Who among ordinary people could refuse to earn a year’s income for free?

Of course, the buyer is not as clever as the seller.

When the casino discovered the odds imbalance, they promptly closed the betting, and besides those who had already bet on the win or loss, they no longer accepted bets on the lord winning directly. Instead, it became more refined, turning into bets on how many to how many the lord would defeat Jes Stewart. For example, 4:0 was a complete crush, with the highest odds. 4:3 odds were lower, and there were corresponding odds for 4:3, 4:2.

Of course, to attract bets, the casino still accepted direct bets on Blood Shield·Jes Stewart’s victory. But generally, only extremely crazy gamblers and Jes Stewart’s die-hard fans would place that bet.

There was no helping it; anyone with a bit of rationality could see that Su Li’s strength greatly restrained Jes Stewart.

Jes Stewart relied on his powerful abilities to wear down his opponents, achieving a turnaround in the final match. He was a foolish knight in a script of defying destiny, finding it difficult to gain an advantage early in the fight.

But if he couldn’t even take the first game from Su Li, then the subsequent battles, with his strength dwindling, would be even more impossible to win.

After all, while others could be worn down by him, Su Li would not. With Su Li’s props, he could maintain his peak condition throughout. If Su Li wasn’t fazed by Jes Stewart’s tactics, then Jes Stewart’s strategy would fail entirely.

And with Su Li fully armed and taking the stage, the entire arena erupted in cheers, making Jes Stewart’s scalp tingle.

On Su Li, wearing a Rare Level battle armor, wielding the Warhammer·Blast Furnace Breaker given by the Dwarf Lord, wearing a Legendary Level talisman! The shimmering Bauhinia Clan’s emblem on his chest spoke volumes of his unparalleled power.

Truth be told, even if he stood still and let Jes Stewart attack, it was uncertain who would be more hurt. With the defensive, retaliatory, and explosive damage of this Rare Level armor, Jes Stewart would be severely injured.

At the Rare Level equipment stage, knights became more robust and hard, like nails firmly planted, taking damage from the enemy might result in more injury than the inflicted wound.

Otherwise, humanity couldn’t fend off the siege of countless Evil Legions from all directions! Those evil monsters relied solely on vast numbers to defeat the elite human legions.

Jes Stewart stood facing Su Li, feeling the immense majesty from the lord’s lineage and equipment. For this battle, Su Li brought all his gear. When adorned with the Mythical Level material·Double-tailed Comet fragment and Wocatric’s Scale, he exuded an aura filled with power, faith, and majesty, akin to the blazing heat of a Giant Dragon’s fire!

Su Li looked Jes Stewart up and down, smiled, and said, "It seems you’ve got backing too. Otherwise, you couldn’t have found a Rare Level armor, a Rare Level talisman!"

Su Li didn’t even know that there was a third set of Rare Level armor in his own territory, nor where it came from—whether shipped by some caravan or a deep reserve of some Knight Clan.

But without a doubt, these people aimed to use this colossal investment to reap incomparable rewards.

Jes Stewart let out a wry smile: "Yes, my lord. Last night, a group found me, saying they would provide me with a lot of top-notch equipment to help me win. So today, at least 10,000 Golden Crowns of gambling capital are placed on me. But I didn’t expect you to have a Legendary Level talisman!"

These people wanted to make a killing through a shocking upset.
