Chapter 20 - Market Betting
The schedule for today's ring match was originally arranged. But suddenly, a poster was posted on the bulletin board: "Due to the special invitational tournament today, it will be held at an early time, and the rest of the tournaments will be postponed as scheduled."
The first fight. Li Xiuyuan, who reported to the academy for the first time (sixth layer of condensation), faced Huo Yanyan (first floor of foundation building), a core disciple who had just been promoted to the foundation building period last week.
The second fight. Li Xiuyuan, who reported to the academy for the first time (level unknown), played against Shui Miao, a second-year student of the academy (a little expert in word assignment). ”
Under the formal poster of the college, there is a small advertisement for the open handicap, which is written in a sloppy manner, as if this person is in a hurry: "In the first game, bet on Li Xiuyuan to win, and the odds are 12 to 12." Bet on Huoyan to win, and the odds will be one by one.
In the second game, bet on Li Xiuyuan to win, and the odds are three to one. Bet on Shui Miao to win, the odds are 1.6 to 1. ”
As soon as this poster was posted, the entire Zhengqi Academy was boiling. Everyone is wondering, who is this Li Xiuyuan? The sixth layer of condensation dares to challenge the monks of the foundation building period?
I haven't been to the academy for a day, so I dare to challenge the little expert of the righteous academy? And two challenges in succession? This is not to give us money...... Ahem, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?
And this is too arrogant, isn't it? Even when Genji Takiya first arrived at Lily of the Valley Academy, he wasn't so arrogant!
I must go tonight to take a closer look at how Li Xiuyuan lost (how did my money come from).
The Fifth Elder Qingfeng sent someone to spread the word, saying that the ring had been arranged. So, Mr. Sansheng, the deputy head of the hospital, greeted everyone and set off to walk towards the back mountain.
But the owner of the hospital, Mr. Drunken Mo, was missing. Hearing Elder Wenzhu say, Mr. Zuimmo seemed to have something urgent and left early. So Mr. Sansheng didn't ask much.
Halfway through, several people saw a sea of people in front of them and didn't know what was going on. When they got closer, the students hurriedly got out of the way as soon as they saw that the bigwigs of the academy were coming.
Walking under the bulletin board, seeing the content on the poster and the handicap opened under the poster, all the bigwigs were dumbfounded.
Mr. Sansheng looked at the notice of the opening market and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Li Xiuyuan's sharp eyes saw that Mr. Sansheng was abnormal, and asked, "Mr. Sansheng, do you know who is the person who opened the market?"
Mr. Sansheng coughed violently a few times, and his old face turned red: "I don't know, I definitely didn't see who wrote this word!", Li Xiuyuan looked at him suspiciously, and he could only give up.
Li Xiuxin looked at the odds on the handicap and pulled Li Xiuyuan over: "Brother, borrow some money from my sister, and make a lot of money today!"
Li Xiuyuan burst into tears in an instant: "My own sister, you just believe that I will definitely win?
Li Xiuxin said embarrassedly: "No, I see that you really don't have a chance of winning, thinking that this money will not be earned in vain..."
"Nothing!" Li Xiuyuan is already out of anger, borrowing my money and betting on me to lose? Is this something that a human being can do?
At this time, the fifth spirit came over and said to Li Xiuyuan: "Brother Xiuyuan, don't be discouraged. I'll bet you to win! I'll bet ...... Ten taels of silver!"
Li Xiuyuan patted the fifth Lingjun on the shoulder: "Brother, thank you!
I saw that Li Xiuyuan's hand was still on his shoulder, and the fifth spirit had already run to the other side, shouting as he ran: "Where to bet Huo Yanyan and Shui Miaosheng?
Li Xiuyuan's face was trembling, and he scolded: "Fifth Lingjun, I'll fuck you! Licking a dog doesn't end well!"
Li Xiuyuan was still scolding there, and suddenly felt that someone slapped him behind him.
"I'm betting on you to win, these five lower grade spirit stones are all my belongings, all bet. Wen Xiaoya stood behind Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan turned around and stood in place, without any expression at all, his hands were crossed together, and he looked at Wen Xiaoya without blinking.
Wen Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Xiuyuan was also stunned: "You don't have the second half of the sentence?" Wen Xiaoya covered her mouth and chuckled: "No, I believe you can win!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Wen Xiaoya's smile and felt that his breathing stopped instantly.
So he hurriedly used his aura to calm his emotions, and thought: "Why can't I subdue my heart as soon as I see Wen Xiaoya?" It seems that I did have a mistake in my epiphany last time, and I have to take a good look at it when I go back." ”
Thinking of this, he glared at Li Xiuxin and the Fifth Spirit Jun, who came after betting on it, and took out his crystal card: "Thirteen lower-grade spirit stones, all bet on Li Xiuyuan to win!"
The bigwigs behind him saw that a few people had enough trouble, and took Li Xiuyuan and others to the ring in the back mountain.
I saw that outside the ring, it was already dark and full of people. Mr. Sansheng and several bigwigs sat in the elder seat of the academy. And Elder Wenzhu took Li Xiuyuan and Wen Xiaoya to the contestant preparation area.
Elder Wenzhu said to Li Xiuyuan: "I'm not very worried about your second competition, because I've heard of your literary talents, although they were made in the Qinglou for those Qing people, but they are also brilliant." ”
Suddenly, the Fifth Spirit Jun interrupted Elder Wenzhu's words: "Elder Wen, how do you know about Li Xiuyuan's reputation in the Qinglou......?
Elder Wenzhu's face flushed: "Don't talk nonsense, a friend of mine often goes, and he told me." ”
The Fifth Spirit didn't dare to say any more, so he could only mutter, "Hmph, make friends out of nothing!"
Elder Wenzhu continued, "What worries me the most is the first one, although I have seen you in the fourth layer of condensation, you have defeated the monks of the sixth layer of condensation and even the eighth layer of condensation.
However, the monks in the foundation building period are completely different, they have already built their own foundation, in addition to the great increase in spiritual energy, the quality of the physical body has also been significantly improved.
And the biggest difference from the condensation period is that their aura can already be filled with all parts of the body as protection, and their defense power has also been greatly strengthened.
If you don't have a strong attack, you won't even be able to break their defenses. Not to mention beating them. ”
When Li Xiuyuan heard these words, he bowed down and bowed to Elder Wenzhu. Because he knew that Elder Wen was genuinely doing it for his own good.
"Elder Wen, please rest assured. As long as it's not a life-and-death fight in this ring, I'm sure I'll win!"
When Li Xiuxin heard Li Xiuyuan's words, his face was shocked, and he thought: "Won't this kid have any crooked tricks?
Seeing Li Xiuxin's expression, the fifth spirit came to the front and said, "Do you really believe that this kid Li Xiuyuan can win? Don't worry! Let's just wait and count the money! Hahaha!"
When Li Xiuxin heard the Fifth Spirit Jun say this, his heart relaxed a little in an instant, but he was still skeptical from time to time
looked at Li Xiuyuan.
After a while, I saw a deacon from the college come to the stage and announce that the time had come and that today's special invitational tournament had officially begun.
The first game: martial arts.
Li Xiuyuan, who was on the sixth floor of condensation, was facing Huo Yanyan on the first floor of the foundation. After speaking, the referee invited the two players to the stage.
When I first saw the announcement, there were many people who didn't believe it, where would anyone challenge the monks of the foundation building period with the cultivation of the middle level of condensing qi? But now that they see the real person, many people are running to bet...... Of course, it is a bet on Li Xiu's fate.
The referee brought the two players to the designated position and stood up, and first read out the rules of the game: 1. The competition point is so far, no serious injuries shall be caused, let alone injuries, otherwise it will be dealt with in accordance with the regulations.
2. Anyone who takes the initiative to admit defeat or step out of the ring will be judged as a failure.
After the referee read out the rules of the game, looked at the two players, and officially announced: The first game, start!
That Huo Yanyan stood on the stage, holding a Huolin sword, perhaps because he had just built the foundation and couldn't control his aura, his hair and sleeves were swinging gently, and he was holding a jade tree in the wind.
And Li Xiuyuan stood opposite him, holding a brick on the floor of the academy in his hand, and the whole person looked a little depressed because he hadn't eaten at noon.
Li Xiuyuan didn't want to mention the bricks, but there was no way. He doesn't have a weapon, and the other party's cultivation realm is so much higher than his own, and lifting a brick can at least boost his morale.
Huo Yanyan and Li Xiuyuan stood together, forming a stark contrast. There was a shrill boo from the audience.
