Due to time constraints, the second round of knockout matches will be held on the next day.
That night, Ling Chen's deed of defeating the sword moves of the law enforcement disciples with one sword began to spread in the Sword Master's Courtyard.
"That kid must have been lucky, otherwise how could he defeat the enemy with one move? I heard that the law enforcement disciple was an eighth-level swordsman. I went up there and walked hundreds of rounds before I barely passed.
"
In the backyard of the Swordsman's Courtyard, many disciples who were enjoying the cool weather gathered together to discuss Ling Chen's affairs.
"I think so. He can defeat the enemy with one move. I think it's because he has good timing and propriety, so he can catch him by surprise. The people with the lowest cultivation level in tomorrow's knockout competition are all people at the fifth level of swordsmanship. Ling Chen
The trash will definitely be defeated."
Another disciple also said with determination, as if in their eyes, Ling Chen would always be the trash that was laughed at.
No one noticed that in the middle of the crowd, a young man with an evil smile on his face listened carefully to the discussions of the people around him, and then slowly moved among the crowd, listening to their endless discussions, the smile on his face
The intention is getting stronger and stronger.
"I don't think Ling Chen won by luck. He was able to defeat the enemy with one move today, which at least shows that his cultivation level is not at the second level swordsman level. It seems that he has made quite a breakthrough in the past six months!"
"How is it possible? This kid can't practice without martial arts. No matter how strong he is, he can't condense the profound energy and reach the realm of swordsman. I think he can only enter the top fifty at most."
…
For a time, almost everyone was discussing what happened to Ling Chen today. Ling Chen's sudden rise made them feel a little incredible.
At this time, the young man who had been walking around in the crowd with an evil smile on his face suddenly stood in the middle of the crowd and shouted: "Hey, everyone, come and take a look. Today we will bet on Ling Chen tomorrow."
Will it break into the top fifty, how about it?"
As soon as these people heard that they were going to bet on Ling Chen, many of them became interested, but most of them just watched.
Seeing that many people were already interested, the young man's mouth curved slightly, then he cleared his throat and said: "If you buy Ling Chen, he can break into the top fifty tomorrow, and the odds are three to five. Buy Ling Chen."
If Chen can't make it into the top fifty, the odds are 5 to 1, what do you think?"
Some people who were originally not interested became interested after hearing the attractive odds.
Odds of 5 to 1? If you press well, you can make a lot of money.
"Hey, everyone knows Ling Chen's strength. It's impossible for him to reach the top fifty. If we want to buy it, we will definitely buy Ling Chen. If he can't reach the top fifty, then we win the bet. You
Can one person afford to lose so much money?"
The young man chuckled, touched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, I am not short of money, young master."
As he spoke, the young man took out a spiritual crystal from his arms and shook it in front of everyone.
"Have you seen it? This spiritual crystal is a high-grade spiritual crystal. It can be exchanged for 10,000 medium-grade spiritual crystals or 100 million low-grade spiritual crystals. So you can rest assured. I, Xiao Fan, guarantee with my own personality that I will not break my promise.
.”
Looking at the high-grade spiritual crystal in Xiao Fan's hand, everyone looked envious. There were not many of these high-grade spiritual crystals not only in Xinpo Town, but also in Lianyung City and even Dongling Continent.
"Hey, who are you? How could you just take out a high-grade spiritual crystal? We haven't seen you before."
Someone in the crowd was the first to say this, and others soon discovered that they had indeed never seen this young man before.
Seeing someone in the crowd questioning, the young man smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Xiao and my given name is Xiao Fan. I just entered this Lingwu Academy half a month ago. I hope everyone will bear with me."
Xiao Fan was a smart man, and he quickly made other disciples accept this new rich young master.
"Everyone, if there is no problem, just place your bets. I will take a piece of paper and write down the amount of your bets now." After saying that, Xiao Fan walked towards his room, and others followed him.
Xiao Fan's identity is definitely not simple, which can be seen from the independent room he lives in.
"You all think about it before you place your bet. If you don't make it into the top fifty by betting on Ling Chen, then if you bet on one hundred spirit crystals, if you win the bet, I will pay you five hundred at the odds of five to one.
Spirit crystal. How about it? Isn’t it very tempting?”
Xiao Fan chuckled and began to slowly seduce him.
"Okay, I'll bet a thousand low-grade spiritual crystals that Ling Chen will advance into the top fifty." A well-dressed disciple gritted his teeth and took out a thousand low-grade spiritual crystals to buy Ling Chen, but he couldn't get into the top fifty.
With one person starting, more people soon started placing bets.
"I bet Ling Chen not to make it into the top fifty for five hundred low-grade spiritual crystals."
"I bet Ling Chen not to make it into the top fifty for one thousand and fifty low-grade spiritual crystals."
"I bet a hundred dollars that Ling Chen can enter the top fifty."
…
For a time, more and more people placed bets, but most of them bought Ling Chen and could not enter the top fifty. Of course, there were also some people who bought Ling Chen and could enter the top fifty.
However, there are only a few dozen people who can get into the top fifty by buying Ling Chen, and the other hundreds of people are willing to suppress Ling Chen but cannot get into the top fifty.
For a time, this corner of the backyard was very lively. More and more people came to place bets after hearing the news. Because the odds offered by Xiao Fan were so attractive, many people firmly believed that Ling Chen would not be able to enter the top five.
Ten, so everyone came to place their bets.
"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell are you doing? Get out of my way."
In the crowd, Wang Yiming pushed everyone with disgust, opened a path for himself, and then squeezed in.
Wang Yiming always liked to watch the excitement. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the place was crowded with people, so he wanted to come in and take a closer look.
When Wang Yiming saw Xiao Fan busy collecting money and keeping accounts, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Are you... Xiao Fan, the eldest son of the Xiao family in Lianyuncheng?"
Xiao Fan raised his head in confusion when he heard this voice. He was curious that someone could recognize him.
"Are you...?" Xiao Fan looked at Wang Yiming with some confusion, seemingly unimpressed.
Seeing that Xiao Fan did not recognize him, Wang Yiming not only did not get angry, but instead introduced his identity with a smile on his face.
"Master Xiao, I am Wang Yiming, the eldest son of the Wang family in Xinpo Town. I never expected that I would meet Master Xiao at Lingwu Academy."
Listening to Wang Yiming's self-introduction, Xiao Fan nodded with a look of enlightenment and said: "Oh...it turns out to be the eldest son of the Wang family. I'm glad to meet you."
Wang Yiming smiled a little cautiously, and the disciples around him almost had goosebumps falling to the ground.
Wang Yiming, who is usually so arrogant and domineering, would smile so reservedly in front of Xiao Fan today, which is really incredible.
At this time, many smart people have begun to associate Xiao Fan's identity with the Xiao family, the largest martial arts family in Lianyung City.
