Chapter 454: Gambling Again
An Shaoyu said with some disappointment that his ranking was actually 101st, which was pretty much what he expected.
Only after arriving at the Central Region did they discover that their cultivation levels as Spirit Emperors were almost at the bottom among these two hundred people.
So they were prepared to be eliminated from the beginning, but when the rankings were actually announced, they couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Luo Tianxing patted his shoulder and said, "We tried our best. Let's cheer for Jiu Sheng next."
He ranked slightly higher than An Shaoyu, at ninety-seventh, which was not a big difference.
In the past, Luo Tianxing only wanted to become stronger and protect Luo Jiusheng, but now he is the one who is the most open-minded. It is impossible for him to surpass Luo Jiusheng.
He just needs to do his best and help Jiu Sheng in the future.
Although their current ranking is not high, it is enough to catch the eyes of the forces in the Central Region, and the probability of them staying in the Central Region is very high.
Then they can stay with Jiusheng again. Jiusheng said before that she has cultivated a group of forces and will not be limited to development in the Eastern Region. So in the Central Region, they will first familiarize themselves with the situation, and then they will be able to help Jiusheng's forces gain a foothold in the Central Region.
Luo Yinyin's ranking was slightly lower, at 127th.
Her cultivation level is the lowest among the others, so this result is considered pretty good.
The three of them searched and finally found Nangong Qi Yu's name at the 185th place.
An Shaoyu said puzzledly: "What's wrong with this guy Nangong? Why is his ranking so much lower than mine? This is unscientific. Where is Nangong? Why don't I see him?"
Luo Tianxing and Luo Yinyin also started looking for Nangong Qiyu, but after searching for a while they didn't see anyone. They immediately had a bad feeling.
Luo Jiusheng cleared up their confusion in time: "Don't worry, something happened to him during the competition, so he came out early. He should be fine now, Elder Feng Tian is here."
Luo Jiusheng’s words made An Shaoyu and the others feel relieved. Fortunately, it was not what they thought.
But they are not completely unconcerned. After all, Nangong Qiyu will definitely not withdraw from the competition midway unless it is absolutely necessary.
Judging from Jiu Sheng's expression, it was not appropriate to discuss this matter now, so they had to keep it in mind for now and ask him in detail after the second round of assessment.
"In the top 50, there are actually eight people from our Central Region. Not bad." An Shaoyu and the others turned their eyes to the ranking list in the air, and sighed with a sour tone: "Xie Nanxing's luck is really amazing. He is exactly ranked 50th, and only has five more points than the 51st, which means he killed one more sixth-level beast."
Luo Tianxing couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, his luck has always been good."
At this time, Xie Nanxing also happened to come over, and Luo Yinyin couldn't help but teased him, "Mr. Xie, are you that person's favorite?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the sky.
Xie Nanxing laughed awkwardly: "Haha, I'm just a little luckier. As you know, I have more talismans."
An Shaoyu stepped forward and hit him, "You, don't be so tense. You are really lucky, but you are also strong. You made the talisman yourself.
Come on in the second round, don’t get knocked down in the first round.”
Xie Nanxing smiled calmly: "Of course I will try my best."
He looked around and didn't see Nangong Qi Yu. He understood what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Elder Fang on the high platform spoke again.
"Quiet. The rankings for the first round have been announced, and the top fifty will enter the second round.
The second round of competition is a ring match. Everyone will take a day to adjust and the second round will be held tomorrow.
The rules of the second round of competition are defending and attacking the ring. All people are drawn into five groups, with ten people in each group.
Each person in each group will become the champion in turn, and the other nine people will attack the champion in turn. Those who successfully defend the champion will get 10 points each time; those who successfully attack the champion will also get 10 points.
Finally, the group with the highest score in each group will get a place in the Jiuxiao Ranking.
If someone fails to obtain a place in the competition and is ultimately unwilling to accept the defeat, he or she may challenge these five people at will. There is only one challenge opportunity each time, and if the challenge is successful, the person can grab the other party's place in the competition.
In the second round of competition, you can use spiritual tools, formations, and summon contracted beasts, but you cannot take elixirs or use talismans during the competition.
In addition, no one’s life may be taken in the second round of competition!
Now everyone go back and rest, I look forward to your performance tomorrow."
After saying this, Elder Fang left with the elders behind him.
The people on the field did not disperse immediately, but instead various discussions were heard.
"There are only five spots available, and the competition is in the form of defending and attacking. The second round of competition is much more intense than we expected."
"Yes, everyone has to fight more than nine times, which is a great test of the depth of spiritual power."
"That's right. Even if you take the spiritual pill after the competition, it's not that easy to recover your spiritual power."
"If you are not convinced, you can still challenge. The second round of competition will be much fairer. However, it seems that this competition rule is more favorable to the beastmasters."
"I wonder who the final five will be? It seems that the top ten are all very strong. Except for Leng Jingci who has a relatively high score, the scores of the others are not much different."
"I don't know about that, but I am sure that Leng Jingci is one of these five people."
"I feel so too."
.......
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Come on, come on, bet on the winners. Does anyone have a favorite player? Come and place a bet and cheer for him."
"Right, right, right. Does anyone want to make a big bet? Just watching the game is so boring. Let's have some fun. I bet Leng Jingci can get one of the spots."
"Of course, do you need to tell me? But there are five spots. Who do you choose for the other four?"
The two people who sang the same tune were naturally Xie Nanxing and An Shaoyu. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. They made a lot of money at the last banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, and this time they wanted to "return to their old business." After all, these people are quite wealthy.
There were people who followed the trend and won the bet last time, and when they heard there was another gambling game this time, they immediately ran over to place their bets.
There were also some who lost last time. After hesitating for a while, they thought that since there were five of them, the probability of winning should be higher than last time, so they also ran over.
This time, even without Dongfang Li as the banker, there were still many people actively participating.
Luo Jiusheng smiled and shook his head. These two people should have been poached by Duobao Pavilion.
Perhaps it was the lively atmosphere here that boosted the atmosphere, and more and more people joined in on the betting. After Ning Lingshu, Dongfang Li, and Han Feiyu placed their bets, even more people came.
Because everyone can buy five places, almost all the top ten in the first round have supporters, but the number of people supporting Luo Jiusheng is the least.
