Chapter 30: The Gambling
In the first battle, Ye Qing seemed to win very easily, but in fact, it was also thanks to the breakthrough in martial arts cultivation a few days ago.
After the martial arts were promoted to the Hou rank, in addition to the sublimation of the life level and the substantial improvement of strength, it also strengthened the quality of Ye Qing's body in all aspects.
Take speed as an example, Ye Qing at the peak of the handsome rank, even the current Ye Qingyi can't touch the corner, Ye Qing's current speed is close to the speed of sound, which can be regarded as reaching a bottleneck, and then it is not so easy to break through the speed of sound.
However, this is also a freak like Ye Qing, whose body has resulted in the transformation of several heaven and earth spiritual objects, so that he has such an achievement, if he is replaced by an ordinary martial artist, although their speed will also be greatly improved, it will not be so big.
In the game, Ye Qing took advantage of his speed to defeat the enemy with one move and ended the battle.
After all, Cheng Lei is a genius student of the Royal Academy, although his actual combat experience is worrying, but his basic skills are still very solid, and he is also assisted by many high-level equipment, it is almost impossible for Ye Qing to defeat him in a short period of time with only the ability of Wen Dao.
The long-term battle is the most unfavorable situation for Ye Qing, although Ye Qing has a deep literary spirit, but it is not as good as the gang with a large number of spirit coins, and after a long time, it is easy for others to see his fighting characteristics, which is not good for his next game.
Although Ye Qing used martial arts to fight just now to expose his hole card of martial arts, Ye Qing didn't expect this hole card to be kept secret for long, after all, he had shown his martial arts cultivation when he was fighting with the prince of Luo Guo and his party in the Spirit Book World.
At this time, properly exposing some hole cards will only make Jean relax his vigilance, and the territory placed on the bright side is not so guarded, and Ye Qing's speed just now is only about one percent of when he was at full strength, and others can't deduce Ye Qing's true cultivation based on speed alone.
The first round of selection was completely completed on the first day, but Ye Qing's next game was scheduled for ten days later, because in these ten days, a simple ranking of the eliminated half of the people would be carried out to determine the prizes.
The scholars who can officially participate in the competition, more or less will get some rewards from the Dayue Dynasty, which can be regarded as a means for the dynasty to attract talents, although these scholars have been eliminated, but they are all elites from all over the world, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future, which is worth investing in the dynasty.
Even if the investment fails, it doesn't matter much, it's just the loss of some resources, one of the overlords of the human race, the resources of the Dayue Dynasty are not so lacking.
Another contestant of Xuanguo, Lan Feifei, did not have Ye Qing's luck and strength, in the preliminary round, he met an elite student of Yuehua Academy, and after a tentative move, he took the initiative to surrender and admit defeat.
The difference in strength between them is too great, and there is no need to fight each other at all.
For Lan Feifei, being able to pass the assessment and enter the official competition has already shipped her expectations, and she has no luxury for entering the next round of the competition.
According to her, as long as she is not at the bottom of the two hundred and fifty-six people and does not disgrace Xuanguo, she is satisfied. After all, according to her actual combat ability, she does not have an advantage among more than two hundred people.
In the end, after ten days of fighting, the ranking finally came out, and Lan Feifei really fulfilled her promise, ranking in the lower middle of the more than 100 people who were eliminated, ranking 211th.
This ranking is not good, but it is not bad, the most important thing is that it is not at the bottom, according to the experience of previous years, Xuanguo's contestants are probably this ranking, as for entering the top two hundred, Xuanguo has not happened for many years.
Lan Feifei was able to get this ranking, and the dean and vice president Pu were already very satisfied, but Lan Feifei alone was already able to ensure that Xuanguo's existing share of resources would not change.
What's more, among the contestants of Xuanguo, there is also Ye Qing, a special existence who has entered the top one hundred and twenty-eight.
Among the more than 100 people who entered the second round of the competition, almost all of them were the elites of the younger generation of the Great Moon Dynasty, and there were no more who could rely on luck to enter this round of the competition.
However, in this round, the regional differences were very obvious, among the one hundred and twenty-eight people, there were more than ten contestants from the thirty-five subject countries, and most of the others were from Yuehua Academy and Royal Academy, and there were a small number of students from other academies and provinces.
Outside the academy, in Yuehua City, some good people have begun to estimate the top 100 rankings, and even set up gambling games.
Neither the Yuehua Academy nor the Great Moon Dynasty will interfere with this, in fact, the people who open the gambling game are often the children of the big families of the dynasty, and the background is not small. Gambling is also fun for them, and the preliminary round does not show the strength of the contestants at all, and their gambling may not be profitable.
And every time a gambling game is opened, it will bring a good income to the academy and the dynasty, so why not do it.
"Ye Qing, you have been selected as one of the seeded players in the gambling game, and the odds are not bad. ”
At lunchtime, Lan Feifei said. It is said that after every discharge, Lan Feifei has nothing to do in Yuehua Academy, but to be able to come to one of the holy places of this scholar, she naturally has to go out and see it, and naturally there is more news than Ye Qing, who has been staying at home to prepare for the next competition.
"Oh, what are my odds of winning the championship?" Ye Qing asked casually, if it was considerable, he could consider buying a little for himself.
"Uh...... There is no odds for you to win the championship......" Lan Feifei didn't expect Lin Ming to ask the odds of winning the championship as soon as she opened her mouth, even she was not very optimistic about Lin Ming winning the championship.
Ye Qing's strength is true, but that is only relative to the contestants of a vassal country like Xiang Xuanguo, in the eyes of outsiders, although Ye Qing was lucky to defeat an academy of the Royal Academy, there are too many strange places, which does not mean that Ye Qing's strength is not strong at all.
Moreover, Cheng Lei is only a middle-level student in the Royal Academy, and there are several people in the Royal Academy who are stronger than him, not to mention the Yuehua Academy, which is stronger than the Royal Academy.
Lan Feifei said: "There are only ten candidates for the championship, three are from the Royal Academy, and seven are from the Yuehua Academy, it can be determined that now they are all masters of the Gongsheng Rank, they are all taught by the masters of their respective academies, and their practical experience is also extremely rich." However, their odds are not very high, and the profit is not very large. “
"But in addition to these seeded players, there are also several dark horses, all of whom are talents who have only come to the fore in this competition, and many people have not heard of them before or have a low reputation."
"Among them, there is a player from the 35th subject country, named Chen Wei, who is a contestant in Chen Guo, and the odds are as high as 1 to 30, and the odds of some others are also frighteningly high, basically except for the top ten seeds, everyone else has more than 1 to 5. “
Mr albert?
Ye Qing still wanted to have an impression of this name, and after recalling it carefully, he found that he seemed to want to take a look at Chen Wei's game on a single day in the preliminary round.
It is a very strong opponent, although it has always shown the peak cultivation on the outside, but Ye Qing can be sure that this Chen Wei has already broken through to become a tribute, but he has a secret method to suppress it, and ordinary people can't see it.
"That's right...... Didn't you just say that I was also selected as a seeded player?" Ye Qing asked.
"Uh...... You are just selected as a seeded player in the 35 countries, and if you win the first place in the 35 countries, there will be a total of more than a dozen participants in the subject countries, and almost every one of them will give odds, and your odds are 1 to 10. ”
"Ten to one, it looks like my odds aren't very good, don't you rank high?"
"Well, the top of the list is naturally Chen Wei, followed by the prosperity of Changguo, although this person only has the cultivation of the late stage, but it is said that he lives in the wild all the year round, almost hunting fierce beasts for a living, and his fighting sense is super strong, and his strength is not weak. His odds are two to one. ”
"Changguo......" Because of the distance, Ye Qing had no impression of this country at all, but he only learned a little bit of popular news from the classics of Xuancheng Academy, which was not very helpful for understanding this country.
Ye Qing recalled for a moment, and said with a smile: "Fei Fei, if you want to win some money to eat a big meal." You can buy me some. ”
After getting along for so many days, Ye Qing and Lan Feifei are relatively familiar, plus the confrontation between the Xiao family and Xuan Fei is not too directly related to Ye Qing, so the relationship between Ye Qing and Lan Feifei is still very harmonious.
"Huh...... Actually, I've already bought 200,000 spirit coins. Lan Feifei stuck out her tongue. A little embarrassed, he said, "You must win, all my savings are on you!"
......
A day later, the second round of the tournament was held as scheduled, and the rules of the competition were the same as the first, except that the 128 rings on the field were reduced to 64, and the security personnel under the ring were increased.
After lunch, the afternoon game began. The schedule is all artificial, without any draws, and the basic principle is. Seeded players do not meet in the group stage, and martial artists from the same place try to avoid them.
There is nothing special about the number Ye Qing drew this time, thirty-six, a very common number, and Ye Qing's opponent this time turned out to be a contestant from the thirty-five subject countries, and its ranking in the gambling game is above Ye Qing, Ye Qing's odds are one to ten, and this contestant is one to five, which shows that in the eyes of outsiders, Ye Qing's strength is still very weak.
