Chapter 372: Chapter 189: Raising the Stakes (Chapter Order Adjusted) _3
Under the promotion of the Monte Carlo Casino, the high-stakes gamble involving 6 billion US Dollars had already caught the attention of the entire world. At 7:30 PM local time, those television stations that purchased the broadcasting rights began to transmit this epochal war.
Experts in martial arts, invited by various television stations, started to analyze the strengths of the combatants from all aspects. Jin Xiaoming’s terrifying track record was dug up, whereas the only basis for Yan Fei’s strength was a video taken during his challenge in Shanghai’s Taekwondo gyms, supplemented by some still images of his usual Kung Fu practice in the martial arts gym. After analyzing the strengths of both sides, these martial arts experts all felt that Jin Xiaoming would inevitably win, and Yan Fei would inevitably lose.
By this time, the casino also realized something was amiss and began to adjust the betting odds for Jin Xiaoming’s match. In the end, because there was so much capital betting on Jin Xiaoming’s victory, the casino simply closed the betting channel for him.
In the VIP Room, Yan Fei appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was connected to the Auxiliary Brain, analyzing the video footage through it to fully understand Jin Xiaoming’s strength and technical characteristics. Only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one be ever-victorious.

At 7:40 PM, a commotion suddenly arose outside Yan Fei’s resting room. Amidst the arguing, a woman’s voice could be heard. Yan Fei recognized it as Yu Xiaozhou’s voice. He opened the door and saw Yu Xiaozhou arguing with Lu Pingping at the door. It turned out Yu Xiaozhou wanted to see Yan Fei, but Lu Pingping wouldn’t allow it, fearing it would distract Yan Fei at the critical moment, hence the dispute.
Yan Fei looked at Yu Xiaozhou and said, “Are you here to stop me from fighting the decisive battle with Jin Xiaoming?”
Yu Xiaozhou was somewhat helpless and said, “Yan Fei, we made a mistake in estimating Jin Xiaoming’s strength. According to the latest intelligence we received, he might have already reached the peak of the Innate Realm. That means his strength has reached the peak of humanity and he is invincible below the God-Level Experts. You are absolutely not his match right now, so it’s better to give up! A moment of patience can calm a turbulent situation, a step back can open up a whole new world. As long as you keep your green hill, you need not fear running out of firewood.”
Yan Fei looked at the woman from China Special Duties Unit and felt somewhat touched. The fact that Yu Xiaozhou came all the way to France because of him proved that the country still valued him highly and didn’t want any harm to come to him, hence they repeatedly sent Yu Xiaozhou to stop him from making a mistake. Therefore, he was very grateful for the country’s concern for him. However, the whole situation was intentionally pushed forward by Yan Fei, and the stakes involved were enormous. Even if there was a misjudgment in Jin Xiaoming’s strength, Yan Fei would not possibly cancel the showdown with him.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Fei said, “Miss Yu, I am very grateful for your and the country’s concern and care for me. But please trust me, I’m no fool nor an impulsive person. Even if Jin Xiaoming is truly a peak expert of the Innate Realm, I have absolute confidence that I can defeat him. So, I apologize, but I will not cancel this decisive battle.”
Seeing the resolute expression on Yan Fei’s face, Yu Xiaozhou didn’t know why, but she felt somewhat convinced by his words. Although she couldn’t understand how an ordinary person who hadn’t been practicing martial arts for more than a year could contend with a super expert from the peak of the Innate Realm, this time she didn’t counter Yan Fei’s words and instead subconsciously stepped back, opening the path.
Just then, the host at the showdown venue had already urged Yan Fei through the workers to take the stage. Yan Fei walked past Yu Xiaozhou, bent down, and whispered in her ear, “In the eyes of the world, Jin Xiaoming is a terrifying killer demon. But in my eyes, he’s nothing more than a buffoon. I’ll prove this to you.”
After saying that, Yan Fei headed towards the showdown venue outside since the host had already started introducing the competitors. Lu Pingping followed closely behind Yan Fei, looking at his upright figure and feeling the strong fighting spirit emanating from him, a wave of excitement arose in her heart. She wanted to stay by Yan Fei’s side forever, helping him clear all obstacles ahead.
Yan Fei stood at the entrance of the passage, looked at Lu Pingping beside him, and gave her a reassuring look, telling her to be at ease and that he would certainly follow the script that they had agreed upon and put on a good show.
Finally, when the on-site host introduced Yan Fei’s name, Lu Pingping immediately drew back the curtains at the entrance to the passageway, and Yan Fei, draped in the red national flag of China, entered the battleground. The venue immediately erupted with huge cheers, and flashes of light were everywhere, as people took photos of him.
As soon as Yan Fei entered the player’s tunnel, he encountered several sleazy journalists in front of him. These journalists pointed their cameras at Yan Fei, continuously firing off their flashes into his eyes. However, Yan Fei had long since brought his body under meticulous control, automatically constricting his pupils upon encountering the flashes, rendering them ineffective against him.
Yan Fei knew in his heart that these journalists must have been deliberately arranged by the South Korean side, aiming to affect his vision and cause him to underperform in the big fight. But those South Koreans were bound to be disappointed, for their plots were utterly useless against Yan Fei.
No sooner had Yan Fei walked into the player’s tunnel than he raised his hand and waved to the crowds around him. This was one of the performance halls of the Monte Carlo Casino; the ring was in the middle, surrounded by the audience, which numbered over ten thousand. Most of these spectators were Europeans who wanted to witness this epochal war. But aside from the European spectators, the rest of the audience was divided into two parts.
One part was the Chinese compatriots waving China’s National Flags. As soon as they saw Yan Fei wrapped in the national flag entering the arena, they immediately shouted loudly, cheering and supporting Yan Fei. The other part was South Koreans waving the Taiji Flag. As soon as they saw Yan Fei, they desperately jeered, trying to have a negative impact on him. However, Yan Fei, having been through many battles, had become as steady as a rock and paid no attention to the jeers.
When Yan Fei had finished walking the player’s tunnel and stepped onto the ring, he finally saw his opponent for the evening—Jin Xiaoming. Yan Fei had seen Jin Xiaoming’s matches in the videos provided by Yu Xiaozhou previously, but this was the first time he had seen the man in person. Jin Xiaoming was a middle-aged man in his forties, of average build, but his body was knotted with muscles that seemed to conceal explosive strength.
When Jin Xiaoming saw Yan Fei sizing him up, he immediately gave him a provocative look. He radiated a terrifying aura, making it difficult for Yan Fei to breathe. However, Yan Fei pretended not to notice the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Jin Xiaoming, instead turning his head to acknowledge the Chinese compatriots supporting him with a wave.

I noticed yesterday that there was an error in the chapter sequence, which I began to correct. However, to my dismay, after making the corrections, there were still mistakes—what should have been Chapter 188 had become Chapter 189, resulting in a world-class blunder.
Today’s chapter is the authentic Chapter 189, so I wanted to clarify that, but fortunately, it doesn’t affect reading. In the future, I will pay attention to chapter order and ensure that such low-level mistakes do not happen again.
Please accept my apologies!
