Chapter 395 Ranking Battle
After Chen Kai truly showed some of his strength and easily abused Liu Yuekong, as soon as the gambling houses in Sangyuan City learned about the situation, they immediately adjusted Chen Kai's odds in the competition.
Before this, very few people who bet on Chen Kai also went to major gambling shops to place bets at the first time.
Unfortunately, when they hurried to the gambling house to bet on Chen Kai, the super ‘big dark horse’, those gambling houses had basically learned the situation faster and adjusted all odds at all levels of Chen Kai...
However, the shopkeeper of the "Ronghe Gambling House" who was bet on a total of 15,000 taels of silver two days ago was nervous. He could only pray in his heart that Chen Kai would never break into the top three, and even if he really won the first place.
Otherwise, the profits of all the bets they made in this competition using the "Qianlong and Chicken Phoenix List" would probably be more than 80% of the profits from Chen Kai.
One compensation of seventy or even one compensation of one hundred is enough to make them vomit blood. However, they would never have thought in advance that someone would really pay such heavy bets on Chen Kai, who was still "unfamous" at the time.
In fact, when Chen Kai bet on his own, the people in the gambling house were still laughing in their hearts. The five thousand taels of silver were simply for free.
The top three and even the top three in the list of the Hidden Dragon and Chicken Phoenix Competition are so easy to get? A boy who is unfamiliar and comes out of nowhere wants to win the top three or even the first one, which is like a daydream.
At that time, Chen Kai had no chance of even a single slight chance of entering the top three in the eyes of anyone, and no one even expected that he could really enter the top one.
After all, there were a thousand geniuses at the beginning of the second round of competition. However, no one expected that Chen Kai had been hiding his weakness from beginning to end, including his voluntary concession when competing with Luo Shuang before.
Now, if you show some strength, you will directly abuse Liu Yuekong, who is innate. The scene is like an adult "abuses" the child.
Now, no one has doubted whether Chen Kai can win and advance to the second round in the next competition. No one even questioned that Chen Kai can enter the top 30 in the ranking battle. Some more "radical" people even speculated that Chen Kai may have the strength to enter the top 10.
Of course, it is only a few who think that Chen Kai can enter the top ten. Who made Chen Kai too young? Even if Chen Kai defeated Liu Yuekong like a torture, most people just think that he is very likely to enter the top thirty, at most the strength of the top 20.
As for the top ten... it is still a little worse. Many people also think that if Chen Kai participates in the next Qianlong and Chicken Phoenix List competition in three years, he will definitely be able to occupy the top ten in "Cangyuanzhou".
These people obviously could not imagine how strong Chen Kai's cultivation level had reached. They just used "common sense" to speculate Chen Kai's strength.
Time passed quickly, and the competition of the remaining 125 people in the loser group finally ended. Another 62 people were eliminated.
At present, there are only the last sixty-three people left in the loser group!
Chen Kai's last match was weaker than the opponents in the previous two games, but his cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Condensation is less than the great innate realm of the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
Before, he had already shown some of his strength against Liu Yuekong. At this moment, Chen Kai did not "act" anymore and simply defeated his opponent. He successfully seized a place to advance to the next round of ranking battles.
As time gradually came to the evening, the loser group finally decided the 37 genius masters who advanced to the final ranking battle. In addition to the 63 people who advanced to the winner group before, it was exactly one hundred!
Among these hundred people, it may not be the strongest one hundred of all the contestants. However, those who can successfully advance to the ranking battle will not be much worse even if they have a certain amount of luck. The lowest cultivation level is basically the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
Nearly half of them are in the great innate realm of the ninth level of Qi Condensation. There are relatively few people who have reached the Gangyuan realm, and there should be no more than ten.
Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich in Kunlun Fairyland, after all, the original top martial arts and various resources of each sect have been basically plundered by the "Sanqing Palace" and the five major heavenly sects. All those who can practice under the age of thirty to the Gangyuan Realm are geniuses. There are still not many such people. There are only a few.
Speaking of which, among the 100 people who advanced to the ranking battle, Luo Shuang could still rank in the middle level by simply cultivating. However, if she tried her best and cast her spells, she would have to enter the top 30 and even the top 20.
As for whether you can enter the top ten, it depends on how lucky you are and how you perform.
After the second round of competition, there will be a day off for those who advance to the ranking battle to rest, and the ranking battle will begin only after a day.
According to the situation announced by the people of the five major Tianzong, the ranking battle will be held in the form of a group competition. A total of 100 people will be divided into ten groups, each with ten people.
Everyone in the group has to compete with each other, adopt the method of points, and if they win, they will get one point. If they lose, they will have no points. In the end, only the top two people in each group can continue to compete for the top twenty rankings.
As for the rankings of others, they are determined by their respective points in the group. Of course, in terms of grouping, the deacons of the five major Tianzong will try their best to balance the strength of each group. As for how to balance, it is naturally the performance of the 100 warriors who advanced to the ranking battle in the first two rounds of competition.
In short, we will try not to let those with strong strength squeeze into one group, and those with weak strength squeeze into one group. Instead, we will balance the distribution of strength and weakness.
The day's rest time is not important for Chen Kai and Luo Shuang. They did not encounter any truly threatening characters in the previous competition, and they were even less injured or something.
They simply had nothing to do, so Chen Kai and Luo Shuang asked Liu Xiaosan to take them around Sangyuan City again.
Liu Xiaosan seemed very excited. It was probably because Chen Kai successfully advanced to the ranking battle, which made his ten taels of silver turn into seven hundred taels of silver a lot more likely, so he was so happy.
The day passed quickly. During this day, major gambling shops were undoubtedly the most lively places. Who could enter the top ten with one hundred geniuses who advanced to the ranking battle? Who could win the championship in one fell swoop?
These topics made the entire Sangyuan City talk about it. The major gambling shops also set different odds for everyone who advanced to the ranking battle.
Among them, Luo Shuang and Chen Kai's odds were both 20 yuan. As for the odds of entering the top ten, they generally paid ten yuan in major gambling shops, and about eight yuan in one. The odds of the top three and five yuan were basically between 12 and 15 yuan, and both of them were almost the same.
Obviously, the people from major gambling shops are still not very optimistic that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang can enter the top ten. However, the odds of the two entering the top twenty are not high. They only have one or two losses. The people from the gambling shops still recognize that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang's strength can enter the top twenty.
Of course, the actual situation depends on how much luck it is. After all, the qualifying competition first requires a round of group matches. If you want to enter the top twenty, you must be ranked in the top two in the group you belong to.
If you are a little unlucky, you may not be able to advance.
In comparison, the ones who have won the championship nowadays are the names that Chen Kai and Luo Shuang heard the most in the past few days.
What about Yuebai Sect in the "Lingxu Sect", Helian Moming in the "Xuanjian Sect", Qi Wangchuan in the "Blood Sword Sect"... etc., these people are basically geniuses who are well-known to have broken through to the Gangyuan Realm.
These people have the lowest odds for winning the championship. Basically, they all have a penalty of less than eight. The most favored one is Helian Moming, who is the "Xuanjian Sect". His odds are only a mere bonus of three! You should know that this is the odds for winning the championship.
As for the odds of entering the top ten... no gambling shop dared to make the top ten bets for these few people. Even from the beginning of the competition, only these people won the championship and the top three bets.
It can be seen that no one thinks that these people will not even enter the top ten. After all, this is an obvious matter. If even geniuses in the Gangyuan Realm cannot enter the top ten, the only possibility is that more than ten geniuses in this competition have reached the Gangyuan Realm.
But what those gambling shops learned was that there were no more than ten geniuses in the Gangyuan realm in this session.
Except for those peerless geniuses who everyone knows that they have broken through to the Gangyuan realm, no one among the remaining people dares to say that anyone can enter the top ten with a certainty.
After all, nearly half of the 100 people who advanced to the ranking battle have great innate cultivation. If their cultivation is similar, it is not so easy to judge who is stronger and who is weak.
The only thing that can be used as a reference is the opponents they defeated in the previous two rounds of competitions and their performance in the competitions. In addition, they are their respective sects.
In addition to being related to cultivation, a person's strength is also related to the martial arts and moves he practices. Therefore, origin in a sect is also a very important basis for judgment.
Because Chen Kai and Luo Shuang both easily defeated Liu Yuekong, who had a great innate cultivation, they were favored by many people as the second-level genius masters second only to those "peerless geniuses" in the Gangyuan realm.
Therefore, although not too many people bet on Chen Kai and Luo Shuang who can enter the top ten, there are quite a few people bet on them who can advance from the group stage of the ranking game to the final top twenty.
The day passed quickly. As the sky was dawn, the final ranking battle was about to begin. Chen Kai and Luo Shuang arrived at the competition early in the morning.
Even Liu Xiaosan gritted his teeth today and bought tickets to watch the competition with the broken silver that Chen Kai gave him yesterday. However, the tickets for this ranking battle also increased and the bed was high. It took two taels of silver to enter, which was four times more expensive than before!
However, people obviously don’t care much about the money of one or two taels of silver, and there are more people entering the competition than in the previous few days. There were more than 70,000 or 80,000 people pouring into the huge schoolyard!
You should know that there are only one hundred contestants left now, and others, including those eliminated contestants who want to come in and watch the competition, also have to spend money to buy tickets!
It can be said that based on ticket income alone, the entire martial arts competition can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This is just a state!
