Chapter 121: Champagne at half-time
"I'm going to buy a ferry to win the championship."
"Do you want to buy the score?"
"I don't buy the score, but I buy Yang Zhiming to win."
"I want to buy Xikang to enter the finals, and I don't buy the score, but I want to buy Cao Feng to win."
Since the path of spiritual energy ascension was discovered, Blue Star entered the era of martial arts, more and more people chose to become martial artists, and large and small ring competitions emerged one after another.
The gambling industry, which goes hand in hand with sports, is once again revitalized.
The commercialization of any sport is inseparable from betting, and the better the commercialization, the deeper the involvement with betting, which is inevitable.
The odds table on the wall was refreshed in real time, since Yang Zhiming was in the ring, showing the magic power of surpassing the median martial artist, after time stopped, the odds of the ferry team rose all the way, and soon came to the second place on the list.
Fueled by Bai Baici, the audience learned from him that Cao Feng had strength that was not inferior to Yang Zhiming.
Thinking that neither of them played in the group stage of the provincial competition, everyone unanimously guessed that Cao Feng, like Yang Zhiming, most likely mastered the invincible supernatural power in the middle martial arts stage.
Under the ferry team, the odds of the Xikang team are close behind.
Firmly occupy the third position.
It has opened a huge gap with the traditional strong team Ba City, which is the fourth place, and as the place where the day is given to debut, it stands to reason that it should be the favorite to win the provincial championship this year.
But with Bai Bai Ci serving as the state competition, the captain of Bashu Province, not participating in the provincial competition, and Li Changqing's birth, the powerful Dao Yun and old techniques made him faintly above the spiritual energy before.
After that, Yang Zhiming showed a terrifying supernatural power in the ring beyond the imagination of the current martial artists, and time stopped.
The mediocre Ba market has fallen again and again.
Time stops this ability is almost incomprehensible, and the mid-rank martial artist already has super attack power, and when it stops, the opponent has no way to defend at all.
In the eyes of all audiences and warriors, the organs and brains of the warriors in the middle stage are still extremely fragile, and if they are injured, they will die.
Even if Li Changqing showed a powerful ability comparable to that of a spell in myths and legends, when time stopped, no one could imagine where his victory was.
But even so, the odds of the Chengdu team are still at the top of the list, and the gap with the second-ranked ferry team is still quite large.
"What should I do?"
Sports lottery hall, some people are happy and some people are sad.
Compared to those who were full of red faces, and after listening to the daytime explanation, they came to buy the ferry and the Xikang team.
More of it is sighing.
More of them, after seeing Li Changqing showing Taoist rhyme, they hurriedly prepared to eat a subsistence allowance.
The odds of the Chengdu team have been rushed to an extremely high level, and they have not completely dropped until now.
"How much did you buy?"
"A thousand."
"That's not much."
"My monthly salary is more than 4,000 after tax!"
"I'll go, you bought the top grid?"
In addition to the state and national competitions, other martial arts competitions are held many times a year to prevent gambling from causing a large number of bankruptcies and debts in Blue Star.
The amount of bets that each person can place is tied to the ID card, and it can only be one-fifth of the annual salary at most.
If you directly put the gambling across the board, the private casino that is not easy to manage may lead to more people stud, and after bankruptcy, you can solve your worries.
Of course, even if there are regulations, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are still loopholes in the salary slips that are issued every year, and a group of people apply for a salary card and falsify the salary flow.
In addition to the sports lottery, there were more people crowded at the front desk of the lobby, asking questions of the staff.
"Do you have any tickets? The match of the Xikang representative team. ”
"It's gone, but there is still a game for the Chengdu team today." The staff pressed the keyboard without raising their heads.
"Rongshi ...... Forget it, you still have to take an airship, death is expensive, can you book tickets for the quarterfinals in advance? ”
The staff looked up helplessly.
"Big brother, the quarterfinals haven't been played yet, where did you get the tickets for the quarterfinals."
"Harm, the Xikang team will definitely appear, so you can't book in advance? I really don't know how to work around. ”
The staff was completely speechless.
"The probability of the Xikang team qualifying is high, but even if they advance steadily, their opponent doesn't know who it is, how can I book it for you in advance."
"Then you can buy tickets first, and then arrange the schedule."
Staff: "......"
"Next!"
……
Ring No. 7, preparation area.
In the dressing room, Li Changqing and Sun Sheng sat on chairs, and Lu Xing sat on the other side, and the atmosphere in the room was very strange.
Originally, I thought that with Li Changqing here, their Rongshi team would win the championship 100 percent, and there was no median martial artist who could defeat Li Changqing.
But now, Yang Zhiming has shown a supernatural ability beyond imagination, this kind of powerful ability that can only be mastered by people like the high-level martial artist and Bai Baici, who have been blessed by the subspace, is completely different from the middle realm.
It is true that Li Changqing was in the ring that day, and he looked like a fairy.
But in the face of the time stopping, it is still too weak.
Lu Xing and the others didn't care, but they knew that Li Changqing and Bai Bai Ci had made a bet, and they originally thought that after defeating Yue Tongfeng, it was already a must-win game, but there was such a big variable.
"You say, can Li Changqing win against Yang Zhiming? Time stops...... I can't think of any countermeasures at all. ”
"Yes, no matter how strong Dao Yun is, it can't compare to the supernatural powers that only high-ranking martial artists can master."
"Alright, you two don't talk about it, since we can't help anything, we might as well shut up."
Lu Xing stopped the discussion of the two team members, and he looked at Li Changqing's back.
"Now, all we can do is believe."
Sun Sheng and Li Changqing sat across from each other, holding his mobile phone, the corners of his mouth hooked.
"Looks like we're not going to be welcomed."
Li Changqing raised his head: "What's wrong?" What do you see online again? ”
Since Yang Zhiming showed the powerful ability to stop time, all the overwhelming news about him Li Changqing on the Internet was swept away.
The topic of the old art being higher than psionic energy has simply disappeared.
Instead, there is an endless discussion of powerful supernatural powers.
"It's not online, it's live." Sun Sheng flipped his phone over and pointed it at Li Changqing.
"Look at the scene of other people's games, so many people, and then look at ours, there is only one of the four airships left, and it is not full yet."
When Sun Sheng said this, he only felt a little toothache, and at this moment, even he felt that the double standard of the Martial Arts Association was too much.
Originally, according to the previously set schedule, all the matches should be played in ring seven.
As a result, the ferry team represented by Yang Zhiming played the first eighths final that day.
The Martial Arts Association actually decided to temporarily move out the former provincial competition ring in Xichuan City.
One side is dozens of kilometers away from the city, and the other side is in the city center.
One side has a ticket that is so expensive, and it has to take an airship, and one side can see the ring directly on the spot, and the ticket is not expensive.
Coupled with the influence of supernatural powers, the audience who came to watch the game of the Rong City team at this moment was almost only sporadic fans.
These guys, why do you want to let the old art die so much?
Sun Sheng didn't understand at all, now all the lower and middle rank martial artists were completing the accumulation of qi, blood and spiritual power through the old techniques.
What is the significance of the Martial Arts Association in doing this?
Since the spiritual energy is now soaring, it can't replace the improvement of the martial artist's qi, blood and spiritual power in the early stage, why can't it coexist.
And if he takes 10,000 steps back, Li Changqing, as a person with disqualified spiritual ability, if he can really take a new path, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Although there are not many extreme cases of psionic disqualification, there are actually a large number of martial artists, and the resonance with psionic energy is not high, if this part of the people is allowed to take another path.
Even if you can't reach the level of a psyker, one more high-level martial artist will have a better chance of winning against the alien fleet in the future.
Ding——
When the reminder bell rang, Li Changqing got up silently, and he nodded at Sun Sheng and the others.
"I'm ready to go on stage."
Li Changqing turned around and walked towards the preparation area, and Sun Sheng suddenly raised his head.
"Hey."
The former stopped, turned his head and looked back.
Sun Sheng raised his right hand and clenched his fist at Li Changqing's five fingers.
"Let them see what is Dao Yun and what is the unity of heaven and man."
Ring Seven.
Between the mountain peaks, the originally dense airships are now only a few big cats and kittens left.
When he fought against Yue Tongfeng before, there were at least dozens of media outlets, all of which were well-known in the province.
But at this moment, when I looked up, I could hardly see a few large media, and all the small media in Xichuan City came.
Even the airship in the commentary seat was nowhere to be seen.
Li Changqing stepped into the ring, surrounded by loneliness, he just turned on his mobile phone and watched the live broadcast of the event.
Almost the entire page is full of advertisements for the Xikang team.
The word psionic power, supernatural powers, can be seen everywhere.
As for the Rong City team, it is only in a corner that you can't find if you don't look closely.
And it's a little link.
"Cold treatment?" Li Changqing didn't care at all.
"You can cold it in the quarterfinals, you can do it coldly in the quarterfinals, but what about the quarterfinals, or even the finals?"
"I'd like to see how long you can get cold."
Li Changqing was not in a hurry at all.
is treating him coldly now, obviously to build momentum for Cao Feng and Yang Zhiming's supernatural powers.
To all the audience's minds, implant the concept of invincibility.
But does that make any sense?
In martial arts competitions, victory is enough to overwhelm everything.
Just like Yang Zhiming yesterday, time stopped killing the opponent's five martial artists in seconds, all of which were one-hit defeats.
Since then, the image of giving a hard mouth during the day has become a positive unpredictable prophet, strategizing.
And Li Changqing has been invincible from the beginning.
No matter how much you build momentum, how much you brag.
Just waiting for him to defeat everyone and win the championship, all the operations of the Martial Arts Association are making him a wedding dress.
Both the audience and the warriors have been implanted with the concept of supernatural invincibility.
That when the invincible supernatural power was defeated by Dao Yun and the old arts.
Isn't the latter a more invincible martial arts path than invincible?
"Hehe, a bunch of self-proclaimed clever guys." Li Changqing walked to the center of the ring.
"Martial arts, absolute strength is everything!"
"Intrigues? I broke it with one punch. ”
As Li Changqing stepped into the ring, a sparse but excited scream came from above his head.
"Li Changqing, you can defeat Xikang and Ferry, right?"
He looked up and saw his head poking out of the windows under the spherical airship.
The physique and blood that surpasses ordinary people come from them.
The audience who came to buy his tickets were all martial artists.
The corners of Li Changqing's mouth were outlined, and he gave a thumbs up to those martial artists who yearned for the old arts.
"Trust me, the old art is invincible!"
……
Xichuan City, Provincial Competition.
As the original venue for the Bashu Provincial Martial Arts Competition.
The standard of this ring is quite high.
The large venue that is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people at the same time, the collision of the flesh and blood of the warriors in the ring, and the cheers of the crowd in the audience are enough to ignite anyone's emotions.
Commentary seats.
In the daytime, he sat on the throne with a smile on his face.
The two commentators beside him returned to the two who had commented on Li Changqing's game before.
But at this moment, the expressions of Li Changqing, the two standing teams, were very subtle.
After seeing Yang Zhiming's supernatural powers, even they couldn't say such a thing as Li Changqing's victory.
That's a magical power that only high-level martial artists can access.
"Two, why are you so silent today?" During the day, he spoke slowly.
It's not his idea to transfer the commentary, and Bai Tian Ci doesn't like to fall into the well.
But after the people from the Martial Arts Association told him that the two people who were originally standing on the side would personally admit that the spiritual energy was greater than that of the old one, and that it would be a more complete blow to the old art school, Bai Bai Ci readily agreed.
The two commentators glanced at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.
They never thought that the gamble that they were already bound to lose would actually be turned into a victory by Daytime.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that we haven't thought of cutting into the topic from there, so why don't Mr. Bai give me a little hint?"
During the day, he smiled, his face was straight, and he directly released his ultimate.
"The two of you should have heard about my bet with Li Changqing."
He turned sideways, the director was very knowledgeable, and turned the camera to the two commentators.
"Do you think that the spiritual energy is strong, or the old magic is strong?"
Murder and heartbreaking!
The faces of the two commentators changed suddenly, and they looked at the camera staring at them, and the two understood that they were going to stand in line.
They took a deep breath, looked at each other, and said helplessly:
"Although we have always thought that psionic energy is only exclusive to high-ranking martial artists, since Yang Zhiming can master supernatural powers, the only shortcoming of psionic energy has also been filled, so ......"
"Psionic power is superior to the old arts."
The barrage in the live broadcast room began to flow.
"The two diehards have finally turned away from the darkness and turned to the light."
"Congratulations."
"The old technique is to blow the hook eight, for decades, there has not been a top position, those so-called martial arts masters, not relying on spiritual energy."
"The old art school, it's long overdue to explode gold coins!"
Commentator seat, Bai Tianci was very satisfied with the answers of the two, and he didn't chase after him, all he wanted was an attitude.
At the moment in the ring.
Cao Feng was already standing in the center, feeling the flashing lights in all directions.
Like Yang Zhiming, he also has an agreement with the research institute on gambling contracts.
"Li Changqing, I've already caught up with you!" Cao Feng clenched his fists fiercely.
"This time I'll challenge you in the ring."
"You, wait for me!"
Cao Feng completely ignored the opponent who came to power, and in the face of the referee's question about whether he needed a blade, he shook his head decisively.
Mastering supernatural powers, except for psionic weapons, the rest of the iron is a burden.
The referee stands in the center and raises his right hand.
"Game on!"
As soon as the words fell, he instantly retreated to the edge of the ring.
Looking at the opponent who was waiting for him, Cao Feng chuckled.
The first in the group played the fourth in the group.
The strongest opponent was no more than a mid-rank three-star martial artist, he shook his head.
It's not a game at all.
This is his Cao Feng's performance.
It's also a paragonomic performance, or a supernatural performance.
Buzz –
Mysterious fluctuations began to spread from his heart.
The qi, blood, and spiritual power in the body gradually resonated under the harmony of this wisp of spiritual energy.
Under the watchful eyes of more than 100,000 people.
Behind Cao Feng, a huge statue of a god rose from the ground.
Behind his head, a halo of light floated, like a god descending to earth.
Magical powers, law phases!
Powerful Dharma Phase, every move has a power far beyond that of a median martial artist.
It's an all-round enhanced supernatural power!
There was not the slightest suspense in the battle.
This is a show.
Commentary seats.
Bai Bai Ci leaned back in his chair, a victor's smile on his face.
"Cao Feng! Cao Feng! Cao Feng! ”
He listened to the fierce cheers of the audience, and slowly, the word Cao Feng changed.
"Magical powers! Avatar! Avatar! ”
Subsequently, the supernatural power turned into the answer in the brain during the day.
"Psionics, invincible! Psionic and invincible! ”
"Old art, garbage! Old art, garbage! ”
Completely, the entire ring turned into a sea of cheers for the Psionics.
Bai Ci looked at the camera and gave his winning speech.
"Sometimes, the game hasn't started yet, but it's over."
"I don't have many cards, just two, a big king and a small king, as for what cards my opponent has, in fact, I don't care at all."
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to compare the victory or defeat of psionic energy and the old arts, when the former can be mastered by the mid-level martial artist, there will already be an answer."
"Middle, lower-level martial artists, no longer need to rely on backward old techniques to improve qi, blood and spiritual power, I believe it won't be long before not only the middle, but even the lower-level martial artists can devote themselves to spiritual energy and embrace the subspace!"
"Compared to the meaningless bet, you might as well guess."
"In this provincial competition, who is the king and who is the little king?"
It's over.
On the website, the topic of old magic is completely drowned out by psionic energy.
The three characters of Li Changqing have become a thing of the past.
Which is stronger or weaker between Yang Zhiming and Cao Feng is the hottest topic on the topic of Bashu martial arts now.
As for the Rongshi team that won in the ring on the other side.
There was only one notice, too small to be smaller, to show that they existed.
