"If you want to place a bet, hurry up! After half a stick of incense stick, the game will officially begin!"
Through the huge projection, it can be seen that the players of the fifth-level empire have entered the venue one after another. At the beginning of the game, the projection casino stopped betting, and the people who were still hesitating no longer thought about it. At this time, they rushed to the betting counters.
"I am escorting the first team of Feng Kingdom today, fifty gold coins!"
"So many? You're stupid! Qi Fengguo ranked first in the fifth class in the last session, but this session may not be the case!"
"What do I ban you from?"
"I bet on the first team of Linghuang Kingdom, twelve gold coins!"
"I also bet the first team of Fengguo, ten gold coins..."
When ordinary people trade, they use more gold coins, which can be exchanged for Holy Spirit Stones in a certain proportion. Fifty gold coins can be exchanged for almost two low-level Holy Spirit Stones. In the Dongchen Empire, it can be regarded as the income of a medium-sized family for several years.
The crowd began to stir up, and in the last time, many people watched the entrance ceremony while taking advantage of the situation. The country was strong and the people were rich, and the strength of the Daqi Empire was obvious here.
"Betting on the first team of Dongchen Empire, one hundred high-level holy spirit stones."
"...what?" There were many bet counters. One of the shopkeepers who was busy lowering their heads and some money suddenly heard a young boy's voice, which came into his ears from the air. He looked up suddenly and found that the people around him were still making bets noisy, as if he was the only one who heard the sound.
"Take it!"
While he was confused, a boy in white robe walked up to him and handed a delicately carved jade plaque to him. The boy could use his robe to block his movements, and no one else saw this scene.
"Ah?!" The shopkeeper stared at the jade token, opened his mouth to stare at the boy in shock, and at the same time he quickly covered the jade token.
A low-level holy spirit stone is worth at least twenty gold coins, but a mid-level holy spirit stone cannot be obtained without 300 gold coins. As for the high-level, even if someone gives out 3,000 gold coins, no one will sell it. After all, it is impossible for mortals to obtain high-level holy spirit stones except high-level monks. How can high-level monks look down on mortal currency such as gold coins?
Cold sweat broke out from the shopkeeper's head. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at the boy in front of him carefully.
"You... it's you!" After watching for a while, an image suddenly flashed in his mind. In the imperial selection competition of the Daqi Empire, the boy who led the Daqi Royal Academy to easily overwhelm the heroes and make the people of the entire empire cheer for it. Thinking of this scene, the shopkeeper's eyes became hot.
...
"Brother Zilong, this scene is much better than the selection competition in our empire!" Yu Yue looked around excitedly. Standing on the competition field, surrounded by the cheers of tens of thousands of boiling spectators. Not to mention boys as big as them, even if they were adults, the passion in their hearts would be ignited instantly.
The martial arts competition platform where they are now located is thirty meters high and five meters high. The outer periphery of the martial arts are densely engraved with defensive magic arrays, and ninety-nine magic array guardians stand in a circle on the outside. Each guardian has reached the level of spiritual gathering. They are all in their efforts to ensure that the magic power of the martial arts competition will not affect the surrounding audience.
In the east corner of the martial arts competition platform, there is also a small observation platform that is also five meters high. This is the hosting platform that hosts the battle, and it is also a place for distinguished guests to watch the battle. In addition to the host, only distinguished guests can attend the seat. In the past, there have even been precedents of Emperor Daqi watching the battle here. However, now, except for the host, there are only four Grand Masters sitting on the stage.
"Many strong people! Isn't this a fifth-level competition today? Why do you feel that all the opponents are of a low level?" Zhang Teng, who is usually careless, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw this scene.
All around were the players of various empires, and the fifth-level knockout round was also the one with the most participation in the empire. A total of 58 teams from twenty-nine empires participated, and each empire was two teams in one color.
"Fifty-eight teams, there are a total of 290 people participating in the competition today, right? More than 200 strong people in the spiritual gathering realm!"
"Don't panic!" Elder Lin shouted at Zhang Teng, "What's there to be self-deprecating? At this conference, the strongest spiritual refining early stages are only a handful of people in the continent. Don't forget that our empire has several peak spiritual gathering powerhouses!"
After hearing what Elder Lin said, the faces of the two team members were a little more frustrated.
"Brother, it depends on you whether our empire can be outstanding this time!" Zhang Teng said while patting Zilong's shoulder.
"Don't say that! Five-on-five, your combined attack technique comes in handy!"
Zilong also looked around his opponents, and his eyes were more anticipation and excitement, "Elder Lin, the fifty-eight teams, one-on-one elimination, how many bye games should be there?"
"The conference organizer has his own arrangements for this, you just need to compete well!"
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!!!"
A crisp ringtone rang throughout the audience, interrupting everyone's thoughts. The boiling crowd suddenly became quiet, staring at everything on the host stage with breath.
"Several Grand Masters, the staff are ready, can you start?" The ringtone rang. With the ministers in charge, he did not dare to act rashly in presiding over the etiquette.
"The Emperor originally wanted to preside over the presidency in person today, but he gave up because of his poor health. Master Li, you are the strongest among us. Why don't you give a speech in this competition?"
Mr. Li, wearing a green bronze inscription robe, is one of the new immortal strong men in the Daqi Empire. In the eyes of other imperial monks, his face is quite strange.
"Haha, Master Wu is so polite. Time is tight, so I will no longer refuse anything." Master Li slowly stood up, recuperated his robe, and was about to step forward.
Just as the audience was looking forward, suddenly, a strong wind blew up and overwhelmed the sky. The clouds that were originally filled with the sky were disturbed by the hurricane, and even the scorching sun hanging in the sky suddenly became dull.
The audience was moved, and the temperature here dropped a lot in an instant. Some mortals with poor physique couldn't help but chill. Everyone looked at the changes in the sky inexplicably horrified.
"What's going on?" Master Li frowned, "Hmph! Such a grand event, can there be some sluts who dare to make trouble?"
As he said that, he waved his hand and his robe shook violently under the sway of the powerful magic power.
"Huhh!!!"
The entire competition venue was immediately protected by a blue mana barrier. The originally restless air immediately calmed down and the temperature of the whole venue was no longer cold. In such a large venue, Master Li just waved his hand to protect the entire venue, and the strength of the immortal strongman was undoubtedly revealed.
However, his expression did not ease, and his brows were locked tighter. (To be continued.)
