The previous champion academy has the privilege to not participate in the preliminary round.
The remaining ninety-eight colleges were divided into forty-nine groups to compete in pairs, and the losers were eliminated directly.
Each college can send five students to compete individually in a best-of-five-game system. If there is a tie, a team competition will be held to decide the winner.
Of course, under the arrangements of the Tang family, the preliminary matches are usually between the strong and the weak, and there will be no confrontation between the strong and the strong.
It can be said that colleges with low rankings have almost no chance of counterattack and are often eliminated in the first round.
After all, this is a world where the strong are respected and the weak have no say.
What surprised many people was that Langya Academy, a millennium veteran, got through some bad luck and actually won without a fight.
The absence of Yifan Academy allowed Langya Academy to win, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Many people lament that Langya Academy is lucky, but their impression of Langya as a weakling will not change.
Because everyone has seen it, Langya Academy only brought three students to participate in the competition, which was obviously a waste of time.
There were also people from several academies who came to congratulate Song Weiqian. They were all ranked at the bottom of the academies, and they were brothers and sisters with Langya.
Since Yifan Academy was absent from the competition, it was natural that it "won" the last place in advance.
The rankings of these companies have risen by one place for the first time in history.
And because I had been bullied to some extent by Yifan Academy, I naturally felt like I was letting out a bad breath, and I was in a very good mood.
"I heard that a few days ago, the Tang Family Gambling House had offered a handicap, and the odds of betting on Langya to win were ten thousand to one. If I had known that Langya was so lucky, I would have made a small bet and made a lot of money.
"
One of the elders of the college expressed regret.
"Yes, I heard that there was only one lucky person who bet, and that boy's luck was really good. But I heard that he only bet ten taels, so he missed a great opportunity to get rich overnight."
Some people lament that this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once missed, it is impossible to encounter it again.
"Well, our academy has always been very lucky, and we should continue to win. If you are interested, feel free to beat us Langya Sheng in the future, and we will ensure that you will not lose money."
Ji Mo reminded me very kindly.
These are all brother colleges and can get a share of the pie.
However, these people just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
After all, they don’t know what’s going on in Langya. With just three soldiers and generals, how can they compete with other academies?
"Everyone, you can really buy my Langya."
Song Weiqian reminded her again, but the other party laughed, thinking it was a joke.
Little did they know that they missed a God-given opportunity to become rich.
Later, it was a heartbreaking experience.
From a distance, Zeng Qiyan secretly observed the Langya Academy group, with a complicated expression on his face.
Because he had a bet with Ji Mo, if Sheng Ling Academy lost to Langya Academy in the rankings, he would have to kneel at the gate of Langya Academy to admit his mistake and call himself a bastard ten thousand times.
This was related to his honor and disgrace, so he cared about it extremely much. Originally, he was full of confidence because he was leading the team at Shengling Academy this time, and the participating students were really outstanding and had the qualifications to compete for first place.
But I don’t know why after meeting Ji Mo, my confidence suddenly became insufficient.
"I must be thinking too much. Although Ji Mo's three students are excellent and may be able to break into the top ten if they are lucky, they will never be Sheng Ling's opponents."
Zeng Qiyan shifted his gaze, forced a smile on his face, and walked towards a noble young man not far away.
He felt that the pond of Sheng Ling Academy was still too small, and maybe if there was a chance, he could try his luck in other domains, so he planned to please the Holy Son from an outside domain in front of him and pave the way for the future.
"As expected, he is just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Not long after he arrived at our Shengling Academy, he actually started to have other ideas."
Seeing this scene, Liu Song sneered. If Zeng Qiyan could not lead Shengling Academy to win first place this time, the dean would definitely not let him off lightly.
The Langya Academy group, who had no competition, did not stop in the central square.
Firstly, he couldn't stand the fact that the monks from the Southern Territory were so humble and kept trying to please those from the Outer Territory.
Secondly, I also don’t want to see some people who don’t see the goodness of Langya Academy, and are always sarcastic and belittling Langya in order to gain a sense of existence.
Song Weiqian didn't want to argue with these people and waste her time. She just wanted to trample these colleges under her feet in future competitions.
Ji Mo thought that Langya Academy had won, so he led a few people to the Tang Family Gambling House.
"You are the first person who dares to take advantage of the Tang Family Gambling House in so many years."
Tang Sanqin did not default on the debt and simply compensated Ji Mo one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Obviously, he already understood the truth and knew that Ji Mo and his party were from Langya Academy, and the reason why Yifan Academy could not come to the competition on time was because Langya had disabled them halfway.
It's only one hundred thousand taels of silver, which can only be converted into a thousand taels of gold. The Tang Family Gambling House is very wealthy, so naturally they don't take it seriously.
Moreover, you can also use this as a gimmick to promote it everywhere, thereby attracting more people to gamble.
"What does it mean to pluck wool? I won this in an honest way."
Ji Mo was a little excited as he held the one hundred thousand tael silver note. This was the first time in his life that he had earned so much money.
Of course, this is not enough. He said that if he wants to win the Tang family, there will be nothing left left.
"I still want to buy Langya Academy to win, do you still dare to open the market?"
Ji Mo asked.
Now, it was Tang Sanqin's turn to be stunned.
Today's game hasn't even ended yet. It's not yet known which academy Langya Academy's next opponent will be. Why does the young man in front of him have such confidence?
Do you really think you can defeat Yifan Academy and are you arrogant enough to think that Langya is invincible?
"Brother, just let it go. As far as I know about Langya Academy, it's just good luck this time. Yifan Academy was absent, otherwise it would be impossible to win. Next time you win against Langya, you will definitely lose your money.
No return.”
A gambler next to him said kindly.
I feel that winning against Langya is like throwing money into the water, which is very stupid.
And almost all the gamblers around me have the same view.
"Brother, listen to me, Langya will be a dark horse. If you follow me, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Ji Mo saw that this gambler was not bad and invited him to make a fortune together.
However, the other party will naturally not believe it.
"Are you sure you can beat Langya and win, no matter who your opponent is?"
Tang Sanqin said with a sneer: "I still pay ten thousand per dollar. I will take whatever you can get from the Tang Family Gambling House."
The Tang family is responsible for coordinating the entire competition and can influence what kind of opponents Langya Academy will encounter. They will arrange a stronger academy for Langya in the next game and send him directly back to his hometown.
Without further ado, Ji Mo took out the one hundred thousand taels he had just earned.
Song Weiqian, Lin Mengmeng, etc. all spent a lot of money.
After Tang Sanqin set up bills for several people, he mocked and said: "You Langya Academy are really arrogant. If you don't have to pay for your return tomorrow, you can come to me to beg and I can reward you some."
"You'd better prepare the money in advance. Don't let us come to withdraw the money tomorrow and you won't be able to get it."
Ji Mo looked at Tang Sanqin and said calmly: "Tomorrow I will continue to defeat Langya Sheng, don't be timid."
