Chapter 157
The surroundings of ring a suddenly fell silent!
All the onlooking disciples were dumbfounded. One move!
Tian congheng, who was considered to be the top expert of the scholartree Yin peak, had actually been killed in one strike!
Before the battle began, everyone had thought that Tian congheng’s opponent would either admit defeat immediately or that he would be defeated. Either Tian congheng quickly killed his opponent.
Even if there was an accident, at most, Tian congheng would not win so easily ... No one expected Tian congheng to lose, and to be killed instantly!
The majority of the people did not even see how PEI Ling attacked. They only saw him suddenly disappear and reappear, while Tian congheng was already split in half.
The blue-robed Deacon, who had been expressionless all this time, revealed a look of surprise. What a fast escape technique! What a fast saber!
Even a human path Foundation establishment cultivator might not be able to Dodge that attack, let alone an ordinary ninth-tier Qi refining cultivator!
When did such a rising star appear on the scholartree peak?
In the silence, PEI Ling was the first to regain his senses. He slowly kept his blade and looked at the warden.”I won,”
The deacon suddenly came to his senses and took a deep look at PEI Ling before announcing, ” &Quot; A-12 wins. Next time, A-13 will fight a-14. &Quot;
At this moment, the audience exploded with all sorts of discussions!
“Who is this A12?”
“I don’t know, are they really from our peak?”
“According to the sect rules, you can only participate in the competition in our peak ... Should the fine be tens or millions of spirit stones? It’s impossible for senior brother Tian to have such an enemy.”
“I know who he is! I saw it when I was placing my bet. Senior brother Tian congheng’s opponent is called PEI Ling!”
“PEI Ling? Don’t tell me it’s that good-for-nothing disciple from the PEI family of Luquan City?”
&Quot; that’s PEI Hongnian ... I know that trash. Don’t compare him to this senior brother, the gap is too big! &Quot;
“I also know about PEI Hongnian. He’s like a dog in front of sun Yinglan. If he had even a tenth of this senior brother’s demeanor, hehe, the one who would be a dog would probably be sun Yinglan.”
“F * ck! He killed Tian congheng with one strike. With this kind of strength, he can pass the preliminary round with one hand. I have to hurry and place my bet!”
The last sentence reminded everyone. The group of people who had originally swarmed over to greet PEI Ling changed their direction with a whoosh and instantly surrounded Cai bead so tightly that not even water could pass through!
After getting off the stage, PEI Ling immediately walked towards Cai ke. As he took out his ticket, he was cursing at those people who had bragged about Tian congheng just now. If it wasn’t for their lack of confidence, he would have bet at least a few hundred thousand spirit stones!
Seeing everyone’s actions, PEI Ling did not say another word. He activated the blood ghost escape technique and was the first to appear in front of Cai ke.
At this moment, Cai ke’s smile was a little forced. Although most of the scholartree Yin peak disciples had come to bet on Tian congheng, these people were generally short on money. Even if they were to stake everything on one go, they would only be able to take out one or two hundred spirit stones. Many people could only take out a dozen or so spirit stones.
So even though there was a forty-odd difference in the odds, after exchanging a hundred thousand spirit stones for PEI Ling, not only did he not earn anything, he even lost tens of thousands!
If not for the fact that PEI Ling had killed Tian congheng with one strike, Cai ke would have wanted to renege on his debt.
With 100,000 spirit stones in his bag, PEI Ling was in a good mood.
Because the second round of the preliminaries would only begin after the first round was over, he went to the other arenas to take a look.
He realized that most of the cultivators were at Qi disciple Level 7 and 8. He barely saw any Qi disciple level 9 cultivators, let alone two Qi disciple level 9 cultivators fighting each other.
From the looks of it, Tian congheng’s luck was really not very good.
Half a day later, the first round of the competition’s preliminaries ended. The gong rang three times, reminding everyone that the second round had begun.
PEI Ling heard the commotion and returned to arena A.
“The second round begins.” The blue-robed Deacon instructed, ” A2 versus A4. &Quot;
A2 was the Qi disciple Level 7 cultivator who controlled the corpse previously, and A4 was Qi disciple level 8.
As soon as the two entered the arena and the deacon announced the “start,” A2 did not hesitate at all.”I admit defeat!”
Just now, he had already spent a lot of effort to deal with a fellow disciple of the same cultivation level as him, not to mention that his current opponent was at the eighth level of the Qi refining stage.
Rather than suffering after going on stage, or even dying due to bad luck, it was better to take the initiative to leave.
“A4 wins,” The deacon nodded. &Quot; the next match, A5 versus A8. &Quot;
These two cultivators were both at the seventh level of the Qi refining stage. Neither of them admitted defeat. After the deacon announced the start, they immediately started fighting.
Taking advantage of this gap, PEI Ling once again walked up to Cai ke. Before he could speak, he heard the cultivator beside him shout, ” “The third match of the second round, I bet on PEI Ling’s victory.”
“I’m also betting on PEI Ling!”
“Here are three thousand spirit stones!” A panting cultivator suddenly pounced over and impatiently pushed a pile of spirit stones to the dealer. &Quot; I’ve just borrowed from everyone I know. I’ll bet all on PEI Ling! &Quot;
“The rules have changed.” Cai ke immediately said, ” each bet can not exceed 500 low-grade spirit stones! &Quot;
“?! Why? Didn’t you just randomly bet in the first round?”
“Just now was just now. This is the only number I can give you now! If you don’t want to bet, then the next one!” Cai ke said impatiently.
Damn it, he was the banker to make a fortune, but he lost tens of thousands of spirit stones as soon as he started.
These people still wanted to continue taking advantage of him?
Even if he had a powerful backer, spirit stones didn’t just fall from the sky!
When he heard this, PEI Ling instantly felt that something was amiss. The cultivator who borrowed money to place his bet hesitated for a moment before saying,”I’ll bet! By the way, what are PEI Ling’s odds now?”
“One to one hundred!”
Hearing this, PEI Ling turned around and left without another word.
The maximum bet was five hundred spirit stones, and the odds were one hundred to one. After all that trouble, he had only earned five spirit stones?
?!
If he had known that Tian congheng had an undeserved reputation, he would have let him have the upper hand. He would have “resisted” for a long time before he “finally found an opportunity” to kill him.
This way, everyone might think that he was lucky and could earn another sum.
Unlike now, no, not just now, but all the subsequent bets, he would not be able to earn anything!
If not for the fact that he wanted to hug fairy Li’s thigh, PEI Ling even had the urge to buy the exterior ...
Soon, the second match of the second round was over. A8 was the winner.
After A8 left the stage, the third round began.
“A9 versus A12,” the deacon shouted.
PEI Ling walked onto the stage. His opponent was a seventh-stage Qi refining cultivator.
The other party quickly admitted defeat and left the stage. It was so fast that PEI Ling did not even have the time to pull out his life loathing blade.
The next match was A14 against A15.
A14 was a Qi disciple level 9 rarely seen at scholartree Yin peak, while A15 was Qi disciple Level 7. There was no suspense in this battle, and A14 won directly.
As soon as he got off the stage, A14 came over to look for PEI Ling.”Junior Brother PEI, my name is Fang Ye. I wonder if Junior Brother can have a word with me?”
PEI Ling nodded. The two of them walked to a secluded area and PEI Ling asked,”Senior brother, what advice do you have?”
