Chapter 1235 - Unyielding Opponent

As Lin Mo spoke, there was an uncomfortable feeling deep within Fang Hao, but he had to admit that Lin Mo was right. Especially if he were to get close to the City Lord, it wouldn't be impossible to negotiate a high-priced deal for the slave fighters.

By then, Lin Mo might no longer be a slave fighter, making it easier to seek revenge against him.

"Alright," Fang Hao suppressed his inner anger and let out a long sigh. "Let's go with your plan, but I can't help you escape the status of a slave fighter for now."

"Because, according to the rules of the Black Wind City Arena, once you become a slave fighter, you can only free yourself after participating in ten fights. This is a rule set by the City Lord."

Lin Mo listened and couldn't help but feel frustrated. This rule was indeed troublesome. He had originally planned to help the Battle Shadow win more Spirit Crystals to free himself from the slave fighter status. However, this rule made it difficult, especially after causing such a commotion recently. It would be impossible to switch identities.

"Alright, then. I want twenty percent of the Spirit Crystals you earn," Lin Mo said after thinking for a moment. "Is that fair?"

Hearing this, Fang Hao understood Lin Mo's intention. Although this kid was annoying, using him to earn Spirit Crystals was a good idea.

"Not too much, it's fair," Fang Hao quickly agreed.

"Starting from tomorrow, you all need to learn how to act," Lin Mo continued. "Most people already know that I have a conflict with the City Lord, and they have witnessed my strength. Tomorrow, many will bet on the Battle Shadow to win, but we won't let the Battle Shadow win."

"As for who will win, only you, me, and him will know," Lin Mo looked at the others present and said in a low voice.

Although Fang Hao wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he understood this point right away. Lin Mo's plan was clear. They would manipulate the bets to make it seem like the Battle Shadow would win, but in reality, they would have control over the outcome.

"Da Fang, Lu Qing, stay here. Everyone else, leave," Fang Hao ordered.

"Yes."

Everyone responded and quickly left the area. Lin Mo and his two companions continued to discuss their plan secretly, and Fang Hao left satisfied.

The next day, the Arena was still crowded with spectators. Even those who had lost all their clothes and belongings from betting the previous day couldn't resist coming back.

Major gambling forces, including the City Lord's Mansion, the Skyblade, Battle Shadow, Wuzhishan, Yeqing, and several other major gambling forces, all arrived on schedule. City Lord Hei Yun still had a gloomy face, as if his anger from yesterday had not subsided.

"Today's Arena matches will continue. Everyone, please continue placing your bets," the host from the City Lord's Mansion announced loudly.

The spectators then took out their money and began placing their bets.

As Lin Mo had anticipated, most people chose to bet on the Battle Shadow to win. They were not fools and knew that Fang Hao would most likely talk to Lin Mo or use some form of persuasion to influence the outcome of the battles. The spectators believed that the Battle Shadow would win the matches.

Even the major forces secretly placed bets on the Battle Shadow, and very few bet on the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Lin Mo, are you really helping the Battle Shadow win Spirit Crystals? You don't seem to be in dire need of them," Nine Lives asked in surprise.

Lin Mo smiled and replied, "I have my reasons, and besides, can you ever have too many Spirit Crystals?"

The battles began shortly after, and although Lin Mo's performance in the Arena had been impressive, most of the participants were newcomers who didn't recognize him. To them, Lin Mo was just another contestant.

Before long, someone attacked Lin Mo. However, with his formidable strength, Lin Mo easily defended himself.

"Boom!"

After a fierce battle that lasted for a while, Lin Mo did not deliberately stand out. He even took down some of the Battle Shadow fighters. In the Arena, this was considered normal because slave fighters didn't necessarily fight for their respective forces.

"Lin Mo, are you really going to help the Battle Shadow win Spirit Crystals? You're not a low on Spirit Crystals," Emperor Ling asked in surprise.

Lin Mo smiled and replied, "I have my own plans, and besides, you can never have too many Spirit Crystals."
