Chapter 126 - 126: Battle for the Top Ten
A15 or 16-year-old beautiful girl walked in, followed by a maid and a middle-aged couple.
The young girl was dressed in purple clothes, and she was as beautiful as a fairy from the nine heavens. She was so beautiful that it made one’s heart tremble.
“Isn’t this the Marquis of Nanling?”
When Liu Yu Zhong saw them, he immediately perked up and quickly came out to welcome them. He was a Tier 4 Martial Arts Grandmaster, so he did not dare to be rude to this couple.
It was Tang Zimeng and Tang Zicheng. When Tang Zimeng heard that Sky Dragon City was also betting, her interest was piqued. Qingyun Hall was the place with the highest stakes, so they naturally came here.
” Hall Master Liu, what’s the maximum amount of the Green Cloud Hall’s bet?”
Tang Zicheng asked, completely ignoring the other warriors. The Tang Family had an extremely high status in Sky Dragon Empire, and even the imperial palace had to show some respect.
“Scared!”
All the warriors were in an uproar. What was going on? Wen Tianqing had just come, and now the Marquis of Nanling had come.
The words he said were actually exactly the same. This made all the martial artists dumbfounded.
” Lord Marquis, our Verdant Cloud Hall has no upper limit on Li Lingtian’s bets. The upper limit on the others is ten million.”
Liu Yu Zhong was also stunned. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but then he thought of the rules of his Blue Cloud Hall and felt a little relieved.
If he bet ten million on the others, Wen Tianqing would bet sixty million on Li Lingtian. Even if the others won, Wen Tianqing’s sixty million would still be given to them.
However, Tang Zicheng’s next words stunned everyone.
” 1 bet 50 million on Li Lingtian’s victory.”
Tang Zicheng threw a storage bag over with a faint smile on his face.
Silence reigned. Another person was betting on Li Lingtian’s victory. Wen Tianqing might have gone mad, but this Marquis Nanling could not have gone mad.
“I also bet 60 million on big brother Ling Tian.”
Tang Zimeng’s delicate voice sounded. As she spoke, she threw a storage bag over.
Hundreds of people were betting in the Cyan Cloud Hall, but they all quieted down at this moment.
After a long time, the Warriors finally came to their senses. Three people had bet on Li Lingtian’s victory and the number was astonishing.
The ominous feeling in Liu Yu Zhong’s heart intensified. This was different from the previous situation. He was afraid that the Marquis of Nanling would bet on the other Warriors to win but now that his cousin and his daughter were betting on Li Lingtian’s victory, he felt even more uneasy.
“This, this, this.”
Liu Yu Zhong stuttered. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so he really couldn’t make up his mind.
If Li Lingtian were to win, he would have to pay 1.18 billion Lower Spiritual Stones. Even if he were to pay everyone else’s bet, the Verdant Cloud Hall would have to fork out more than 500 million.
“Don’t you dare to take the bet?”
The Marquis of Nanling’s expression turned cold. Although he was only a Tier Eight Martial King, no one in the Tang family could provoke him.
“Accept, why not? Since the Azure Cloud Hall has accepted, we will naturally accept Lord Marquis’s bet.”
Liu Yu Zhong was startled and thought for a long time before agreeing. This situation shocked countless martial artists.
After Liu Yu Zhong finished carving the two jade slips, he handed them to the Marquis of Nanling and the three of them left the Green Cloud Hall.
After Tang Zimeng’s family left, Liu Yuchen announced that he would not accept Li Lingtian’s bet today.
Immediately, countless martial artists felt that things were not good. Moreover, this news quickly spread to other bets.
In a single night, countless people had placed their bets on Li Lingtian’s victory. The number of people betting on Li Lingtian’s victory was almost equal to the total number of people betting on him.
The last few bets knew that something was wrong, but it was too late.
In the end, he could only mend the situation and no longer accept Li Lingtian’s bet.
Early in the morning, the Heavenly Dragon Square was already packed with people. They came to the best seats to wait for the start of the competition. This way, they could best watch the battle between the super geniuses.
On this day, it was destined that there would be no fate with the Prodigy Roll. It was destined that there would be people who would be excited and people who would go berserk.
By the time Li Lingtian arrived at the steps of the plaza, almost everyone had arrived.
” Today is the fourth day of the competition. Today is the challenge match. Out of the remaining fifteen people, only ten will enter the top ten, and five will leave the arena.”
When Bai Ping saw that all the judges had arrived, he stood up and announced loudly. After he finished speaking, the square was in an uproar. They wanted to see their idol enter the top ten.
” The rules of the Challenger League are still based on elimination. Fifteen people will compete, seven will be eliminated, and seven will enter the top ten. The remaining eight will continue to compete, and the winner will challenge the seven people who entered the top ten.”
Bai Ping calmly explained the rules of the competition. Suddenly, all the martial artists began to discuss, and their faces revealed a shocked expression.
This was too cruel. In this way, everyone had to compete at least twice at a certain time. Some even had to compete three or four times.
One time was enough to consume all of his true essence and true qi. If he was lucky enough to enter the top ten, he would also be challenged.
Moreover, they had to accept challenges consecutively. At most, they had to accept two challenges.
As Li Lingtian listened from the top of the stairs, his heart was filled with shock. If he was unlucky, he would have to compete three times, three times with a top Martial Arts Grandmaster powerhouse.
As a result, the faces of the countless Warriors who had bet on Li Lingtian’s victory turned green. If Li Lingtian were to enter the top ten in a single competition, they would have won and received a considerable sum of money. However, they did not expect the competition rules to be so strict. Li Lingtian had no chance of entering the top ten.
Even if they were lucky enough to enter, they would still be challenged.
“Big brother Ling Tian, Mengmeng believes that you’re the strongest.”
When Tang Zimeng and Tang Zicheng heard this rule, they felt that something was amiss. Although they would not be bothered by the Spiritual Stones, Li Lingtian was her fiance and her son-in-law. Li Lingtian’s failure would not benefit them.
She gently held Li Lingtian’s arm and spoke softly. As a fiancee, she had to think about her husband at all times.
” Don’t worry. I’m still confident that 1 can enter the top ten. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it’ll be fine.”
Li Lingtian said earnestly as he gave a comforting look to Li Suifeng, his wife and Tang Zimeng.
“The competition begins now.”
Bai Ping let the fifteen martial artists who were participating in the competition walk up the steps and each of them drew a number.
After the competition, it was time for the challenge.
Li Lingtian looked at the jade token in his hand. It was actually number one. In other words, he was the first to compete. If he won, he would enter the top ten. If he lost, he would have to challenge again.
“Young noble Ling Tian.”
” Young Master Baiyun.”
“Young Master Yang.”
? >)
Fifteen martial artists were on the stage, and countless admirers were cheering excitedly. The fifteen martial artists were all fourth and fifth tier Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Li Lingtian was the only one who was in the Warrior Spirit Realm. This made everyone feel uncomfortable. The Warriors who had bet on Li Lingtian’s victory were also feeling regretful.
” Number One, Li Lingtian, Tier Nine Warrior Spirit Peak Perfection, 16 years old, North Marquis Estate’s heir.”
” Number 15, Cheng Xiaotian, Martial Arts Grandmaster Tier 4 peak, 46 years old, number one genius of the Cheng Clan.”
Bai Ping announced the information of the martial artists in the competition loudly. Immediately, the Heavenly Dragon Square was in an uproar. The strength and age of these two people were really a joke.
He was a super genius who had attained the great circle of Martial Arts Grandmaster Rank Four, 46 years old. The other was sixteen years old and was only a Tier Nine Warrior Spirit at the peak of the Great Fulfilment.
Cheng Xiaotian’s body strangely appeared on the stage. The 200-meter-long and 200-meter-wide stage suddenly looked like it was specially built for him.
” Cheng Xiaotian’s strength has far exceeded that of a Tier Four Martial Arts Grandmaster. Compared to a Tier Five Martial Arts Grandmaster, he is not at all pressured.”
” Cheng Xiaotian has a metal-type martial soul. His attacks are incomparably domineering. No one in the top ten can shake him.”
” Li Lingtian, what a pity. If it were a few years later, he would definitely be on the Prodigy Roll.”
“This time, he’s going to stop in the top ten.”
” My spirit stones. I bet three million on him. That’s all I have.”
For a moment, countless warriors looked enviously at Cheng Xiaotian on the stage. In a world where the strong were respected, Cheng Xiaotian was at the peak of Martial Arts Grandmaster Tier Four. He was definitely the object of worship for all warriors.
“Rumble!”
Just as everyone was discussing, a powerful aura quickly spread. Everyone looked at the source of the aura..
