In the sixteen-in-eight game, Jian Yangxuan from Wulai Island finally forced Shi Zhiyi to show his blade for the first time, but the result of the game really made Jian Yangxuan, who had come to his senses, embarrassed, and was knocked down by his opponent in just two breaths, and he didn't even know where Shi Zhiyi was.

This two-breath battle is also the fastest one to end in this round.

After Shi Zhiyi stepped out of the ring, the first person to rush towards him was not the county lord of Yi Ning, but Xu Jingting from the Xu family in Fanzhou. Xu Jingting hugged Shi Zhiyi exaggeratedly, and didn't let go for a long time, he was even more excited than he won by himself, and the two big men hugged each other in front of the public, and the surrounding audience was cold.

"Brother Shi, you are really too ...... It's amazing! It's really in the top eight! In the top 16, the youngest person besides you is also seven or eight years older than you, which is really incredible!" In Shi Zhiyi's impression, Xu Jingting, who has always been extremely rational and calm, actually stuttered a little when he spoke, which shows how excited he is.

"It's only in the top eight, and it's not the championship, I said Brother Jingting, do you need to be so excited?"

"Brother, have you forgotten? I bought 100,000 taels of gold and bet on you to make it to the quarterfinals! Do you know what the odds are? One to one hundred and twenty-eight! One hundred thousand taels is 12,800,000 taels of gold!"

Xu Jingting's voice was very loud, and the audience around him who heard him speak was suddenly in an uproar. Who is sitting here who has not bet on their luck in the gambling house? But there are very few people who can really catch a big dark horse like Shi Zhiyi.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, before I came to Kyoto, all my belongings were only a few tens of thousands of taels of gold, and the most valuable thing on my body was the broken sword, which you gave me, brother. After coming to Kyoto, I first won hundreds of thousands of taels in the gambling house thanks to you, and today I made a lot of money, more than 10 million taels of gold, I never dreamed of so much money!"

Although Xu Jingting is the core disciple of the Xu family, the benefits obtained by this identity are more reflected in the acquisition of martial arts, the distribution of pills, and the opportunity to go out and practice on behalf of the Xu family, and Xu Jingting's personal wealth is actually still very limited. If you want to buy some blade armor or elixir martial arts on your own, it's almost impossible.

This time, the entry of more than 10 million taels of gold gambling funds has completely solved the financial problem on Xu Jingting's future cultivation path, he will not only be able to make his cultivation speed to a higher level, but also take the lead in the competition of many core disciples, no wonder Xu Jingting is so excited.

On the same day, Xu Jingting was the east, Xu Jingting, Xu Jingchun, Shi Zhiyi, and Yi Ningjun Lord ordered a sumptuous banquet in Wangjiang Tower, on the one hand, to celebrate Shi Zhiyi's achievements, and on the other hand, to celebrate Xu Jingting's unexpected surprise of up to 10 million taels of gold.

"Brother Shi, do you know? Now among all the contestants, you are the most powerful one, even surpassing Da Xi Zhiyu, the top eight players who are less than 20 years old, and it is estimated that there has not been a situation in the history of the Spring Festival for hundreds of years. ”

Xu Jingchun said: "I got the news just now, the last sixteen-in-eight game has also ended, the top eight of this session have all been produced, and the young city lord ranks fifth in the odds among all eight players, which should be the highest odds ranking that martial artists under the age of twenty have ever won since the Spring Festival was held." ”

Shi Zhiyi was about to speak, but Lord Ning took the lead and asked, "Who are the other seven contestants?" She was by Shi Zhiyi's side almost all the time, not paying attention to the other competitions at all, and then suddenly remembered that she should also know about Brother Xiaoyi's next opponent.

"The first in the odds is naturally Da Xi Zhiyu of the Da Xi family, he is exactly thirty years old this year, and the realm of the middle of the cold window is the highest among all the contestants, and the only one who has reached the middle of the cold window;"

"The second in terms of odds is Yun Sheng, a disciple from Yuezhu Linhai. He is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is said to be the third among the disciples of the new generation of Yuezhu Linhai, and his two senior brothers participated in the last Lanchun Conference, and won the second and fifth places respectively, which shows his strength;"

"The third place is Yu Zhonghan, the eldest son of Prince Mu, who is also thirty years old this year, and the fourth place is Beigong Jing from the Beigong family, the eldest son of Beigong Yixiang, and his cultivation is the peak of dawn. ”

"The fifth place is Shi Shaocheng, needless to say; the sixth place is from the Luqiu family in Hailing Prefecture, called Luqiu Shengde, twenty-eight years old, the peak of dawn; the seventh and eighth places are Fu Xiancheng from the Fu family in Puzhou and Yu Zhongze from the royal Yu family. ”

"I know the last two," Lord Yi Ning turned his little head to Shi Zhiyi beside him, "Cousin Fu Xiancheng Fu is the grandson of my uncle and grandfather Fu Lindai who sent us back to Kyoto last time, my uncle and grandfather got married and had children early, so his grandson is more than ten years older than Xianzhou and them, Cousin Fu should be twenty-seven this year, and the realm should also be at the peak of dawn; Yu Zhongze is the grandson of my uncle Prince Su, Prince Su is the number one master of our royal family, and Yu Zhongze has been cultivating with him, and he has not had much contact with us, and he should be at the age of twenty** I don't know much about the realm around the age of the year, but it certainly shouldn't be underestimated. ”

Among the top eight players, the royal Yu family alone occupied two seats, Yuezhu Linhai, Daxi family, Beigong family, Luqiu family, Fu family and Shi family each occupied one seat, while the Fanzhou Xu family and Wulai Island Jian family among the eight families were not shortlisted.

Among the 300,000 contestants in total, less than 100 people from the Eight Great Families and Yuezhu Linhai can be said to be insignificant in terms of number, but they finally won all the top eight seats, which also reflects the huge gap between the children of the Eight Great Families and Yuezhu Linhai and other small and medium-sized forces and lone martial artists.

This gap comes from various aspects such as realm, exercises, martial arts, and blades, and it can be said that the nine top forces of the Eight Great Families and the Moon Bamboo Forest Sea are ahead of other sects and families in all aspects.

"Then who is Brother Yi's opponent in the next round?" asked the county lord of Yining.

"The battle of the eight-in-four game will be decided by drawing lots, and I think that as long as Brother Shi doesn't run into those three guys from the Cold Window Realm, the others should have a fight. Xu Jingting replied.

"I came to Kyoto with one goal in mind, and that was to win the championship in the Spring Festival, so no matter who my opponent is, it's the same for me. Other than the crown, the other rankings don't mean anything to me. ”

Of the three people here, not to mention the county lord of Ning, Xu Jingting and Xu Jingchun are also very close friends, so in front of them, Shi Zhiyi no longer hides his ambitions.

Shi Zhiyi raised his head and looked at the surging river in the distance outside the window, and his thoughts seemed to follow the surging river upstream, reaching Yunqi City thousands of miles away.
