120: Sorry, I'm cheating!
Dragon Chen receiving an empty token also caused a stir among the onlookers; they hadn't expected the one to draw an empty token to be a Disciple of the Supreme Sacred Ground.
Lü Qingmei also had a smile on her face; on one hand, her Disciple was impressive, and as his Revered Master, she naturally felt honored.
On the other hand, while she was delighted by the excellence of Forget-Love Peak's Disciples, she also felt pressure.
No matter what, the main lineage now belonged to Wuji Peak.
Being constantly suppressed by Gu Liangyuan naturally created pressure.
I want to be on top!
Gu Liangyuan, however, was not surprised by this; after all, Dragon Chen had a golden panel, indicating his extraordinary Luck.
It was reasonable for him to draw an empty token once.
After Dragon Chen, the Disciples continued to draw lots.
After about ten more people, the second empty token appeared.
Seeing this, the other Disciples cast envious glances.
After another hundred or so people, the third lucky person appeared.
Following that, no more empty tokens appeared until only a hundred people remained.
Everyone realized that things seemed to be getting strange.
According to what the Black-Robed Elder said, there would be eight empty tokens in the first round and seven in the second.
Now three had appeared, leaving four.
Four?
Everyone simultaneously looked at Qianqiu and the others at the very end.
One, two, three… exactly four!
No way, it can't be that uncanny!
As everyone pondered, ten more people left the hundred-person team.
Ninety people, and still no empty tokens appeared!
Eighty people, still none.
Zhao Chi in the main hall couldn't sit still; he stood up and looked down.
The others were also curious and gathered together to discuss:
"For four people to draw an empty token once is already extraordinary Luck; could it be that all four of them can draw consecutively?"
"That's hard to say. I have a rough understanding of the art of Qi observation, and I see that these four have great fortune, they are definitely not ordinary individuals."
"Strange, strange, this is the third Ten Thousand Sects Assembly I've attended, and I've never seen such a situation."
"There are still dozens of people left; let's wait and see."
Seventy… sixty…
Until only the last ten people remained, no empty tokens had appeared!
Is it really that uncanny!?
Ten, nine, eight, seven…
Disciples decreased one by one until only Qianqiu and the three others remained, and still no empty tokens appeared!
Seeing this, the Black-Robed Elder slapped the lottery box, and the remaining four number tokens were ejected from the opening, falling into the hands of the four individuals.
Looking closely, what the four held in their hands were all empty tokens!
Whoosh!
Instantly, the hall erupted in a clamor!
Like a sudden clap of thunder, or a giant wave crashing on the shore!
"Another empty token!"
"All four hit again!"
"No fight, two rounds passed!"
"What Heaven-Defying Luck do these Forget-Love Peak Disciples have!"
At this moment, Zhao Chi felt completely numb.
How could he still lose!?
This one bet alone was over twenty million!
The little money he earned from the last bet was all spit back out.
He took a deep breath, comforting himself:
"Fortunately, I was smart and adjusted the odds to two times."
"If it were still the same odds as the last bet, I would have lost everything, even my underwear."
While Zhao Chi was adjusting himself, he suddenly felt someone approach.
Looking up, the first thing that caught his eye was a fair hand.
Following the hand upwards, he found Gu Liangyuan smiling at him.
Zhao Chi couldn't hold it together.
His recently adjusted mindset was broken again!
This was a living, sparkling twenty million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!
Giving away Spirit Stones that were already in hand, how was that different from carving flesh from my body!
He brewed his emotions for a moment, and just as he managed to force out a smile, seven or eight more hands suddenly appeared before him.
Looking up, it was none other than the Supreme Seven Peaks plus Yang Qiong.
The smile on his face instantly vanished, and he endured the heartache to take out several Storage Pouches, handing them to each person.
"Sensible!"
Gu Liangyuan praised him, then left contentedly with the others.
Gu Liangyuan's word "sensible" was a critical hit for Zhao Chi!
At this moment, he felt like a young woman who had been insulted, and after the act, the scoundrel even slapped him.
A great humiliation!
Too much bullying!
Can I tolerate this!?
Yes!
Putting aside Zhao Chi's grumbling for now, those Elders who hadn't continued to bet on Qianqiu and the others earlier were now filled with regret!
It's worth mentioning that many of these people were also those who had lost Spirit Stones on Oriental Heng.
They only regretted not being bolder before, otherwise, they would have recouped their losses immediately.
The Elder Peak Lords of the other six peaks, however, were in high spirits.
They had originally only intended to support Gu Liangyuan, but they hadn't expected such unexpected gains.
After two bets, they earned nearly a million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
Di Tian, watching this scene, also became somewhat envious.
Although with Vehicle Lord's help, I am ten percent confident of killing Gu Liangyuan, that is for the future.
Should I follow Gu Liangyuan and place a couple of bets now?
But he immediately dismissed this idea.
One cannot boost others' morale while diminishing one's own prestige.
Everyone in the main hall had their own thoughts; although the battles among the Disciples below were even more exciting than yesterday, everyone watched with little interest.
At this time, only fifteen hundred Disciples remained, but the duration of the battles among these fifteen hundred Disciples was even longer than that of the three thousand people yesterday.
It wasn't until the bright moon hung high that the battles finally concluded.
The reason was simple: after the first round of eliminations, the quality of the Disciples had clearly improved.
Many people's strengths were evenly matched, turning battles that were once decided in an instant into prolonged struggles.
Some even fought for half an hour in a single battle.
Victory was only decided when their Qi was exhausted.
Among these many Prodigies, Gu Liangyuan did spot two or three special panels.
However, these individuals had already joined other sects, and their Forgetting Love value was insufficient, so he let it go.
With the end of this round of the Grand Competition, Zhao Chi's ranking list was updated again.
Gu Liangyuan searched the list from bottom to top, and this time he actually found Qianqiu and a few others' names within the top hundred.
At this time, the odds for the four had already dropped to 1.3.
A few Foundation Establishment Disciples, and you lower the odds so much?
Gu Liangyuan frowned at Zhao Chi, seemingly asking if he was a sore loser.
Zhao Chi smiled, as if saying, yes, I am a sore loser!
Looking at the newly announced list made those who were planning to bet on Qianqiu this round hesitate.
The bonus was gone; a 1.3 odds profit was too small.
Who could guarantee that Qianqiu and the others would continue to be so lucky?
After all, their strength was among the weaker ones among the Disciples; once they didn't draw an empty token and encountered a strong opponent, their bet would be wasted.
With such odds, it was more stable to bet on Dragon Chen and the others.
Gu Liangyuan looked at Zhao Chi and suddenly smiled.
Alright, alright, so this is how you want to play!
I was originally thinking of letting you lose a little less.
No more pretending, I'm laying my cards on the table!
I'm cheating!
With a thought, Gu Liangyuan activated his Investigation Technique, and the basic information of all the Disciples on the field was revealed!
After receiving this information, Gu Liangyuan slightly closed his eyes and began to frantically calculate in his mind the probability of each person advancing and how he could bet most profitably.
Finally, his gaze landed on a name.
