Chapter 395: Ranked Battle
After Chen Kai really showed some of his strength, and easily abused Liu Yuekong, as soon as the large and small gambling houses in Kuwayuan City learned of the situation, they immediately hurriedly adjusted Chen Kai's odds for the competition.
Before this, there were very few people who bet on Chen Kai, and many people went to the major gambling houses to bet for the first time.
It's a pity that when they hurried to the gambling house to bet on Chen Kai's super 'big dark horse', those gambling houses basically learned about the situation faster and adjusted all the odds of Chen Kai at all levels......
However, the shopkeeper of the 'Ronghe Gambling House', who had been heavily bet by Chen Kai for a total of 15,000 taels of silver two days ago, became nervous. I can only pray in my heart that Chen Kai will not break into the top three, let alone really win the first place.
Otherwise, I am afraid that at least eighty percent of the profits from all the gambling games they opened through the 'Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List' competition this time will be lost to Chen Kai.
The odds of 70 to 1, or even 100 to 100 are enough to make them vomit blood. However, they could not have imagined in advance that someone would really put such a heavy weight on Chen Kai, who was still 'unknown' at that time.
In fact, when Chen Kai bet on himself, the people in the gambling house were still laughing in their hearts, and the fifteen thousand taels of silver were simply given to them in the gambling house for nothing.
Is it so easy to get the top three in the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, and even the first place? A kid who came out of nowhere wants to win the top three, or even the first, is like a pipe dream.
At that time, Chen Kai did not have the slightest possibility of being able to enter the top three in the eyes of anyone, and no one was even optimistic that he could really enter the top 100.
After all, there were a thousand geniuses at the beginning of the second round of the competition. It's just that no one thought that Chen Kai had been hiding clumsily from beginning to end, including the initiative to admit defeat when he competed with Luo Shuang before.
Now, if he shows some strength a little, he will directly abuse Liu Yuekong at the great innate level. It was almost like an adult 'abusing a child'.
Up to now, no one doubts whether Chen Kai can win the next competition and advance to the second round. No one even questioned that Chen Kai could make it to the top 30 in the qualifying battle. Some of the more 'radical' people even speculated that Chen Kai is likely to have the strength to break into the top ten.
Of course, there are only a few who think Chen Kai can break into the top ten after all. Who made Chen Kai's age really too young, even if Chen Kai defeated Liu Yuekong like a vegetable abuse. Most people just think that he is very likely to break into the top 30, at most the strength of the top 20.
As for the top 10...... It's still a little bit worse. There are also many people who feel that if Chen Kai participates in the next competition of the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List three years later, he will definitely be able to occupy the top ten places in 'Cangyuan Prefecture'.
These people obviously can't imagine what kind of Cheng Cheng Chen Kai's cultivation and strength have reached, and they just speculate on Chen Kai's strength with 'common sense'.
Time passed quickly, and the remaining 125 players in the lower bracket finally ended. Sixty-two more were eliminated.
At the moment, there are only sixty-three people left in the loser's group!
Chen Kai's opponents in the last competition were weaker than the opponents in the previous two games, but they were only eighth-layer condensation cultivation, not yet the great innate realm of the ninth layer of condensation.
He had already shown some of his strength against Liu Yuekong before, and at this moment, Chen Kai did not 'act' anymore, and defeated the opponent very simply. Shun Lì grabbed a spot to advance to the next round of qualifying.
The time gradually came to the evening, and the losers' bracket finally decided the thirty-seven talented masters who finally advanced to the final qualifying battle. Coupled with the sixty-three people who advanced to the upper bracket before, it is exactly one hundred!
Among these 100 people, it may not be the strongest 100 of all the contestants, but those who can advance to the qualifying battle smoothly, even if there is a certain element of luck, their own strength will not be much worse. The lowest cultivation also basically has the cultivation of the eighth layer of condensation.
Nearly half of them were in the Great Innate Realm of the ninth layer of condensation. There are relatively few people who have reached the Gangyuan realm, and there should be no more than ten.
Although the aura of heaven and earth is strong in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, after all, the original top-level exercises and various resources of each sect have basically been scavenged by the 'Sanqing Palace' and the Five Great Heavenly Sects, and the people who can cultivate to the Gangyuan Realm under the age of thirty are all geniuses. There are still not too many such people. There are just a few.
Speaking of which, among the hundred people who advanced to the qualifying battle, Luo Shuang's simple cultivation can still be ranked at the midstream level. However, if she shoots with all her strength and casts a spell, she will be in the top 30. Even the top 20 is not a big problem.
As for whether you can make it into the top 10, it depends on a bit of luck and your own performance.
After the second round of the competition, there will also be a break for those who have advanced to the ranked battle to rest, and the ranking battle will start a day later.
According to the situation announced by the people of the Five Great Heavenly Sects, the ranking battle will be conducted in the form of a group competition. A total of 100 people will be divided into 10 groups. Ten people per group.
Everyone in the group has to compete with each other, take the form of points, and if they win, they will earn one point. There are no points for losing. In the end, only the top two players in each group will be able to continue the battle for the top 20 rankings.
As for the rankings of the others, they are determined by their respective points in the group. Of course, in terms of grouping, those deacons of the Five Great Heavenly Sects will also try their best to balance the strength of each group. As for how to balance, the basis is naturally the table of the 100 martial artists who advanced to the ranking battle in the first two rounds of martial arts.
All in all, we will try not to let the strong people crowd into one group, and the weak people will be crowded into one group. It's about evenly distributing the strong and the weak.
A day's rest time doesn't matter to Chen Kai and Luo Shuang. Neither of them had encountered any real threats in the previous competitions, and neither of them was injured or anything like that.
There was simply nothing to do, so Chen Kai and Luo Shuang asked Liu Xiaosan to take the two of them to take a good walk around Sangyuan City again.
Liu Xiaosan looked very excited, probably because Chen Kaishun had advanced to the qualifying battle, which made it much more likely that his ten taels of silver would become seven hundred taels of silver, so he was so happy.
The day passed quickly. On this day, the major gambling houses are undoubtedly the busiest places. Of the 100 talented masters who advanced to the qualifying battle, who can break into the top ten? Who will win in one fell swoop?
These topics have the entire Kuwabara Castle on the go. And the major casinos also set different odds for everyone who advances to the qualifying battle.
Among them, the odds of Luo Shuang and Chen Kai winning the championship are both one to twenty. As for the odds of the two of them reaching the top ten, in general, the major gambling houses are about 10 to 10 and 8 to one. The odds of the top three and top five are basically between 12 and 15, and both of them are about the same.
Obviously, people in major gambling houses are still not very optimistic that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang can enter the top ten. However, the odds of the two breaking into the top 20 are not high. It's only one to two. The people in the gambling house still recognize that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang's strength can be ranked among the twenty.
Of course, the actual situation depends on a bit of luck. After all, qualifying is first a round of group matches, and if you want to break into the top 20, you must be in the top two in your group.
If you're unlucky, you may not be able to make the cut.
In comparison, the highest call for winning the championship now is also the names that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang have heard the most in the past few days.
What is Yue Baimen of the 'Lingxu Sect', Helian Moming of the 'Xuanjian Sect', and Qi Wangchuan of the 'Blood Sword Sect'...... Wait, these people are basically geniuses who are known to have broken through to the Gangyuan Realm.
These guys also have the lowest odds to win. Basically, they are all within one to eight, and the most favored one is Helian Moming of the 'Xuanjian Sect', and his odds are only a mere one to three! You know, this is the odds to win.
As for the odds of breaking into the top 10...... There is no gambling house that dares to open the top ten gambling games of these people. Even from the very beginning of the competition, only these people won the championship, and the top three such a gamble.
It can be seen that no one thinks that these people will not even be able to enter the top ten. After all, this is an obvious thing, if none of the geniuses in the Gangyuan Realm can enter the top ten, the only possibility is that more than ten of the geniuses in this competition have cultivated to reach the Gangyuan Realm.
However, what the gambling houses learned was that there were no more than ten geniuses in the Gangyuan Realm this year.
Except for those peerless geniuses who everyone knew had broken through to the Gangyuan Realm, no one among the rest dared to say who could break into the top ten.
After all, nearly half of the hundred people who advanced to the Ranked Battle were Great Innate cultivators. If the cultivation is similar, then it is not so easy to judge who is strong and who is weak.
The only reference is the opponent they have defeated in the previous two rounds. and in the table xiàn in the joust. The other is their own origins.
A person's strength is not only related to cultivation, but also related to the martial arts moves he has cultivated. Therefore, being born in a sect is also a very important basis for judgment.
Because Chen Kai and Luo Shuang had easily defeated Liu Yuekong, who had a great innate cultivation, the two of them were favored by many people as second-grade genius masters second only to those 'peerless geniuses' in the Gangyuan Realm.
Therefore, although there are not too many people who bet on Chen Kai and Luo Shuang to make it to the top ten. But there are plenty of bets that they can make it from the qualifying group stage to the final top 20.
The day passed quickly. As the sky brightens, the final ranked battle is finally about to begin. Chen Kai and Luo Shuang came to the school field of the competition early in the morning.
Even Liu Xiaosan gritted his teeth today and used the broken silver that Chen Kai casually rewarded him yesterday to buy a ticket to enter the competition and watch the competition. It's just that the tickets for this qualifying battle are also high, and it takes two taels of silver to enter, which is four times more expensive than the original!
But. People apparently didn't care much about the two taels of silver anymore, and the number of people who came to watch the jousting was even greater than in the previous days. There were no less than 70,000 or 80,000 people in a huge school yard!
You know, there are only a hundred contestants left, and the rest. Even those eliminated contestants who want to come in and watch the competition will also have to pay for tickets!
It can be said that with the ticket income alone, the entire martial arts competition can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It's just a state!
If all of Kyushu were added up, it would be millions of taels of silver! And that's not even counting the Kyushu Championship, which will be played later. (To be continued......)
