Chapter 33: Victory Without a Fight
Li Sibai got up very early the next day, and after breakfast, he went to the front hall to see the results of yesterday's game, today's game is an 8-in-4 game, and Li Sibai will also appear for the first time.
Li Sibai also came to the martial arts arena early, waiting for the arrival of his opponent.
At this time, the competition arena was already crowded, and many disciples came here early to wait for today's game to begin.
Li Sibai heard the two people around him chatting, and he listened for a while when he had nothing to do.
"Did you hear that there seems to be an injury to the player who made the cut last night?"
"No, it's only the first round and someone has been injured. ”
"Have you placed a bet, now that the top eight have come out, I heard that the favorite for the first place in this year's exam is a disciple named Qin Feng,"
"You are also optimistic about Qin Feng, I placed 50 Xuantian Jade Qingdan on him"
"No, Brother De, Qin Feng's odds are too low, even if he wins, he won't make money, is there a way to make money quickly, I need money urgently"
"Either you press the stone, he is currently second in odds, and he and Qin Feng are no longer in the same half area, the two can only meet in the final, maybe you still have a chance. ”
The man hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind,
"Brother De, I think his odds are still too low,"
The person known as Brother De looked at the person who spoke: "Old Five, are you in debt to others again?"
"Brother De, you know, I just can't control myself. ”
"Hmph, people like you should be bombarded down the mountain, and you don't deserve to stay in the Xuantian Sword Sect at all. "That Brother De looks like he hates iron but not steel, but in fact, he himself is gambling.
"Brother De, don't mind, show me a clear way to my brother, and I will thank you for my great kindness in the future. ”
De Ge thought about it for a while, and thought of one thing,
"Do you know who has the highest odds in this tournament?"
"I heard that it was a man named Li Sibai, and it was said that he was a waste wood from the outer gate. Lao Wu's face was a little distorted when he said this, and he seemed to have guessed something.
"Then you will put the rest of the money on him first, now the odds seem to be 1:100, if you win, you will earn it back, if you lose, you quickly pack up your things and go down the mountain, so as not to be chased for debts. ”
Lao Wu also seemed to guess that Brother De would let him do this, but he was reluctant at first, he seemed to have no confidence in Li Sibai at all, but he thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said:
"Okay, Brother De, I listen to you, I hope he can bring me good luck this time. Saying this, he took out the only five Xuantian Jade Qing Pills he had in his hand and walked towards a disciple who had placed a bet.
The Xuantian Sword Sect does not allow disciples to gamble, these are disciples with family backgrounds who secretly make a living, and take some commissions from it.
Li Sibai shook his head and smiled bitterly. I thought I might be going to disappoint you, but I don't have any confidence in winning the first place, and it looks like you're going down the mountain soon.
At this time, the time for the competition is almost up,
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw a big tall man coming over from a distance, it was none other than Guangtai, Li Sibai's opponent today!!
Guangtai's expression seemed to be a little struggling and painful at this time, and Li Sibai looked at him a little strangely.
I saw that Guangtai stumbled to Elder Yunfei, who was in charge of the invigilation today, arched his hand and said:
"Elder Yunfei, the disciple's recovery after yesterday's martial arts competition is not ideal, and he has not fully recovered so far, and he thinks that he will not be able to participate in today's martial arts competition, so I am here to inform you, I apply for abstention. ”
He didn't speak loudly, and there was a noise all around him, and only a few people around him could hear it clearly.
Yunfei Zhenren looked at him with a surprised expression:
"Guangtai, have you thought about it? This is a year's time to give up. ”
I saw Guangtai straighten his clothes, nodded, and said, "Thank you Elder Yunfei for reminding me, the disciple is incompetent, so he can only step up his cultivation and come back next year." After that, Guangtai didn't even look back, turned around and left.
Li Sibai didn't hear what Guangtai and Yunfei Zhenren said, he was on the other side of the ring at the moment, patiently waiting for Guangtai's arrival, but he didn't expect to wait for the news of Guangtai's withdrawal, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"What's wrong today, it's winning without a fight, I can't stop this luck when it comes!"
When Yunfei Zhenren announced the news of Guangtai's withdrawal, all the disciples in the audience talked about it and exchanged their heads one after another:
"I said that someone wants to quit, but Guangtai, who didn't expect it, would really lose money. ”
"It's really a weak force, I didn't even dare to challenge, and I actually directly admitted defeat, which is really a shame for the outer door. ”
"Wait, the waste firewood of the other outer door has actually entered the top four, hahaha, the strength of the outer disciples this year is really bad, the waste wood can enter the top four, I don't know how many people will sign up next year." ”
"No, Li Sibai can also enter the semi-finals, this Si's luck is really good, he didn't even leave the station once, so he entered the semi-finals."
"I think his good luck ends here, what are the odds, I'll go, 1:200, haha, as expected."
Li Sibai listened silently to the conversation of these brothers and sisters, and he didn't know what it was like at the moment.
On the one hand, I am happy that I can advance to the next round, but on the other hand, I have not shown my strength, and I am still being surrounded by others
Behind the fingers, I can't help but feel a little sad.
At this time, because this game has been canceled, everyone has turned to another ring to compete.
What is going on here is a competition in the lower half of the region, and it is Qin Feng, the favorite of this competition, who is playing against an unknown female disciple.
I saw that Qin Feng was also ruthless in the face of this female disciple, I saw that his palms were flying, his fingers were like the wind, and he didn't know where to learn the palm technique, so he came out to bring the wind, and the female disciple on the opposite side didn't dare to slack off, and he couldn't get close in front of Qin Feng's palm technique, so he could only move around the periphery and dodge,
In this way, there was no time for half a pillar of incense, and Qin Feng had already knocked the female disciple out of the ring and won in one fell swoop.
The audience immediately applauded, and the shouts were endless, and most of them were estimated to be under pressure on Qin Feng's plate, and they were all excited at the moment.
Several elders watching the battle from the sidelines also nodded incessantly, it seemed that they were also quite appreciative of the strength shown by this Qin Feng.
Qin Feng also thanked the brothers and sisters for their appreciation on the stage, arched his hand and stepped down.
In this way, the first two written exams are over, and there are already two people who have advanced to the top four, namely Qin Feng and Li Sibai.
This was followed by two other 8-in-4 battles.
