Chapter 73 Roping In
Those betting booths’ people quickly proclaimed everywhere that Tuoba Ye wagered twenty thousand Yuan Force pills on himself.
Since the compet.i.tor had such confidence on himself, many people naturally followed suit.
When the bettings finally closed, the wagers on Tuoba Ye unexpectedly reached hundred thousand Yuan Force pills.
“Not bad, this hundred thousand Yuan Force pills are ours, basically.”
The bettings for the championship were over, now the lots would be drawn and the opponents for the single matches would be decided.
Once the opponents were selected, people could wager on that match and the bettings would be open till the match began.
Many old Outer Sect disciples knew this and so they intended to wager great amounts of Yuan Force pills in the hopes of making some profits.
Naturally, the compensation rates for the single matches were much lower. And a lot of times, the result would be too obvious in which case, the betting booths wouldn’t take any bets for such matches.
Tuoba Ye also wanted to wager on the single matches but didn’t have any Yuan Force pills so he dropped the notion.
So long as he won the championship, Mythic group’s earnings would be over a million Yuan Force pills. Lei Ting would have a great share in this as she wagered twenty five hundred and fifty Yuan force pills, which was not a small amount.
The Ten Extremes group and the Six Dao group quickly learned that the little witch had shown up. Jue Wuqing and Bi Yuntian didn’t dare to show negligence, so they personally came out to welcome her.
As they came out, those Outer Sect disciples stepped aside in succession.
“Miss Lei ting, you came! We have already kept a seat for you, please come.” said Jue Wuqing.
Bi Yuntian was late by a step, so he was very annoyed but he didn’t give up: “Miss Lei Ting, it is better to come to our side, our seat is much better.”
Although Tuoba Ye didn’t recognize Bi Yuntian and Jue Wuqing, he could see their imposing aura and the surrounding spectators’ reverence to them, from which he knew they were not simple.
And they were so respectful to Lei ting which showed that Lei Ting’s ident.i.ty was even more not simple.
Lei Ting didn’t like seeing such grand treatment.
Tuoba Ye promptly whispered: “Lei Ting, it happens that we don’t have any seats, we are all relying on you.”
“Okay!” Lei Ting didn’t refuse, she was a member of the Mythic group, after all.
“Leader Jue Wuqing, leader Bi Yuntian, we have over hundred people here, whose area contains enough seats for us?” Lei Ting asked.
“Mine!”
“Our Ten Extremes group!”
Jue Wuqing and Bi Yuntian rushed to reply.
Many spectators didn’t recognize Lei Ting, so they were all stunned by what they were seeing.
Jue Wuqing and Bi Yuntian were among the strongest Outer Sect disciples, not only were they powerful, their background was also even more formidable.
But even they were trying to curry favor with a little girl, this naturally shocked people very much.
Of course, those that recognized Lei Ting were not even a little surprised, they all wanted to go curry favor with her, but as Jue Wuqing and Bi Yuntian were present, they didn’t dare to take such actions.
Yang Bin and others, similarly, were very shocked. Although they knew Lei Ting was not simple but they hadn’t thought she was this influential.
“Leader, what is the ident.i.ty of Miss Lei Ting?” Yang Bin asked in a low voice.
Tuoba Ye gave a bitter laugh: “You are asking me, but who do I ask? I really don’t know her ident.i.ty, ask her afterwards, okay?”
Lei Ting also felt somewhat embarra.s.sed, Ten Extremes Dao and Six Dao group were very powerful, and had profound background at the Pill Cauldron sect. They could also be regarded as the two strongest factions of the Pill Cauldron sect.
“Let’s do it like this, we will alternate between your areas, okay?” Lei Ting was very shrewd, she quickly found a way to compromise.
Jue Wuqing and Bi Yuntian glanced at each other, and quickly nodded in agreement.
They were old rivals, moreover, the Ten Extremes group and Six Dao group were the strongest compet.i.tors of each other in becoming the strongest faction of the Pill Cauldron sect.
They clearly understood that if they could rope in Lei Ting, their situations would change immediately.
However, Lei Ting’s words considered both of them so they naturally would not try to provoke her.
“Miss Lei Ting, let’s go to our Six Dao group today, okay?” said Bi Yuntian.
“Okay!” Lei Ting also didn’t speak any more.
Bi Yuntian personally led the way, Tuoba Ye, Lei Ting and others followed behind, and quickly reached the area closest to the tournament platform.
The tournament platforms were made on the ground and there were ten such platforms, altogether. They were in close proximity to each other and in between were barriers. There were barriers outside the platforms too so that when the tournament begins there won’t be any injuries to the spectators.
As for the viewing platforms, the closest were the lowest and also the nearest to the tournament platforms. The rear viewing platforms gradually increased in height, this was done to ensure that all the spectators could clearly see the matches.
Of course, the most rear viewing platforms were relatively far away so the spectators, there, wouldn’t be able to see the matches that clearly, unless they used some special tools.
Tuoba Ye and the companions basked in the light due to Lei Ting, they were able to get the closest seats which meant they could get the clearest view of the matches.
Their appearance made the Six Dao group’s members very discontented, but they didn’t dare speak up because who among them could dare to provoke Lei Ting.
Bi Yuntian and others knew of Lei ting’s original intentions in joining the Mythic group, but they didn’t know what she was thinking.
Since Lei Ting helped those Mythic group’s people, Bi Yuntian and others would naturally give her face.
“Miss Lei Ting, the tournament will begin in a short moment. If you want to make any wagers then you can simply tell me.” said Bi Yuntian.
“When the tournament begins, won’t there be people to receive the bets?” Lei Ting said calmly.
Bi Yuntian immediately felt awkward but his skin was very thick, as he said, laughing: “I almost forgot this, but they move very slowly. Our people will deal with it faster.”
“I understand.” Lei Ting was simply not willing to talk with Bi Yuntian.
Bi Yuntian could discern the situation, so he didn’t speak anymore and waited for the tournament to begin.
As for Tuoba Ye and others, they couldn’t say anything as they didn’t want to provoke the Six Dao group’s members.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but fortunately, the tournament started.
“Quiet! The tournament will begin immediately, rules are very simple and you all know them. However, I am still emphasizing that there should be no deaths on the tournament platforms. If someone kills deliberately, they will suffer a grave punishment.” An Inner Sect elder said, his tone full of might: “Now, the lots drawing will start to decide the opponents. Those that registered for the tournament, stand up, and begin drawing lots.”
Only Tuoba Ye was partic.i.p.ating in the tournament from the Mythic group. The only ones with qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament were him and Lei Ting.
“Leader, best of luck!”
“Leader, good luck!” Lei Ting had a playful smile on her face, what she was thinking, no one knew.
Tuoba Ye also didn’t have the mind to pay attention to it as he walked to the tournament platform to draw a lot.
He was very near to the tournament platform, so he was naturally very early in drawing the lots.
On the tournament platform, there were many Jade slips and they were marked with numbers. They were also able to record the individual’s information and would remind the ones holding them when to go on stage. They were categorized as simple talismans.
Tuoba Ye had just stepped on the tournament platform when a Jade slip flew to his hand.
He didn’t look at the Jade slip and holding the Jade slip, he left the tournament platform.
“Leader, which number did you draw?” Yang Bin asked.
“Take a look yourself.” Tuoba Ye was indifferent to the number he drew.
“Number twelve! Leader, you drew number twelve.” Yang Bin said loudly.
“This number doesn’t mean your rank, what are you being excited about?” An expert of the Six Dao group coldly said.
Tuoba Ye said calmly: “If my ranking was this number, I would not be satisfied.”
Yang Bin didn’t dare speak leaving Tuoba Ye to deal with this since he was the Mythic group’s leader.
“Right, leader will win the championship, number twelve means nothing!” Hearing Tuoba Ye’s words, Yang Bin immediately gained some confidence.
“Win the championship!? Really ridiculous, on what basis do you think you can win the championship …….” The Six Dao group’s experts laughed loudly.
Inside the Six Dao group, just the rank nine Xiantian Martial G.o.ds numbered over hundred, and among them, there were four-five that had the potential to enter top ten, whereas Bi Yuntian was the top favorite to win the championship.
They had the capital to be arrogant, but seeing Mythic group’s members were so egotistical, they naturally felt some disdain.
Bi Yuntian looked down upon Tuoba Ye and he was in a bad mood upon seeing Tuoba Ye had a close relation with Lei Ting. So, he didnt stop his subordinates when they started ridiculing the Mythic group, and had an expression of wanting to see a good show.
Tuoba Ye didn’t speak anymore, he didn’t want to argue because he was clear that one needed strength to speak, wasting words had no use.
As for Lei Ting, she also wanted to see a good show but Tuoba Ye didn’t speak anymore, so she was a little depressed when she couldn’t see a good show.
Lots were drawn quickly, over ten thousand partic.i.p.ating Outer Sect disciples were holding their Jade slips.
“Lots have been drawn, the tournament will now begin. Pay attention to your Jade slips, it will prompt you when your turn comes. If you don’t come on the stage within ten minutes, you will be considered to have forfeited. Now, I declare the start of the Outer Sect disciples’ year-end great tournament. The Outer Sect disciples that have been prompted by the Jade slips, come to the stage!”
Following the Inner Sect Elder’s declaration of the start of the tournament, twenty Outer Sect disciples received the prompt by their Jade slips, and according to the confidence they had, they went to the tournament platforms, to start the knock-out compet.i.tion.
There were over ten thousand partic.i.p.ating experts, they had to first go through knock-out compet.i.tion before they began the final contest.
Out of the million Outer Sect disciples, there were over ten thousand partic.i.p.ants and only the top hundred among them could be rewarded. Selecting the best hundred naturally was not an easy affair.
“There really are a lot of experts partic.i.p.ating this year, almost more than double that of previous years.” An old Outer Sect disciple exclaimed.
“Yes, that means wanting to enter the top hundred will really be much more difficult.”
……
The spectators began commenting until the twenty experts entered the tournament platforms. Then the atmosphere quietened.
There would be matches in all the ten tournament platforms, at the same time. Even with this speed, it would take some time for the first round of the match to end.
Tuoba Ye observed the partic.i.p.ants, they were not weak and there were two rank nine Xiantian Martial G.o.ds among them.
“Cultivation Sects are really amazing, solely their Outer Sect disciples are enough to sweep away those powerful nations of the secular world.” Tuoba Ye said inwardly.
Looking at the State of Zhan, it only had few rank nine Xiantian Martial G.o.ds and they were far from being able to compare to the experts of the Immortal Clouds valley.
Besides, these experts of the Immortal Clouds valley were young, the oldest among them didn’t cross forty. Their potential were enormous and were far above those experts of the State of Zhan. Any of these Outer Sect disciples could be an absolute genius at the secular world.
Cultivation Sects had a rule; if one didn’t breakthrough to Lianqi realm before forty, they would be expelled out of the sect and wouldn’t even be allowed to continue to be Outer Sect disciples.
Tuoba Ye had some interest towards the Shenwu Continent’s martial skills. Although Shenwu Continent’s martial skills were unable to compare to the Silver River world’s martial skills, there were still some that were worth learning.
Moreover, Tuoba Ye also couldn’t use the martial skills of the Silver River world, every time, as that could easily invite trouble.
If he could learn some of the Shenwu Continent’s martial skills, then he could conceal some strength and wouldn’t have to frequently use a top quality martial skill like the Divine Overlord’s Fist.
