“Just stretching my muscles a bit.”

After knocking his opponent unconscious, Chen Mobai rotated his right hand in a circle. He hadn’t hit anyone this hard in a long time and found it somewhat unfamiliar.

“Referee!”

He sat down and pushed the opponent who had fallen on the ring. After confirming that he was unconscious, Chen Mobai called out to the referee who had just stepped off the ring less than a minute ago.

“The winner is, Chen Mobai.”

The referee was also very straightforward, directly declaring the winner.

Amidst the surrounding hustle and bustle, Chen Mobai stepped down from the ring.

Students from the Fifth High School immediately came forward. Seeing Chen Mobai live was completely different from watching the video. He had remarkably managed to defeat his opponent in a minute, leaving many astonished.

Shi Jingjing had already uploaded the fight video she recorded. At the same time, she secretly bet on the odds website that Chen Mobai would advance to the fourth round.

“How are you so powerful?”

Song Zheng couldn’t help but ask. He knew Chen Mobai might be a bit stronger in terms of Spell Cultivation, but he had no idea that Chen Mobai could be so powerful.

He also knew the Water Controlling Technique and the Flowing Water Cover, similar to the Water Elemental Shield.

But he admitted that whether it was the timing of the application or the combination with the talisman, it fell short of Chen Mobai’s proficiency. The latter has formed a complete system combining Spell and talisman. It is not simply one plus one equals two, but the power has increased exponentially.

“I suppose it all comes down to practice makes perfect.”

After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai felt that he had sublimated in the fight with the demonic beasts on Green Light Island.

Although there were many opponents in this Magic Duel whose realm was higher than his – such as the four Qi Cultivation ninths, let alone Xu Yuan, Shi Jingjing, and others who were Qi Cultivation eighths.

Yet, whoever it was, Chen Mobai faced them with a nameless confidence.

Such a child’s play-like Magic Duel was too simple for him, a real warrior who has been honed on the edge of life and death. It was like an attack from a dimension reduction.

So no matter who the opponent was, Chen Mobai always had an unhurried and confident demeanor.

“It’s my turn.”

At this time, Cao Yaling spoke up. She was also in the second round in this field.

As a Qi Cultivation eighth, she was considered one of the seeded players who were exempted from the initial rounds, but the fight was a shock to everyone because she won with great difficulty.

Her opponent was also a martial artist. Coupled with Cao Yaling’s poor Magic Duel-based fighting, she was suppressed initially.

But in the end, she relied on her Spirit Eye to see through the opponent’s flaws, using more Spiritual Power to exhaust her opponent until he was defeated.

“Chen Mobai, you must make it into the fourth round.

At lunch, Shi Jingjing suddenly said this in a mysterious tone.

“Hmm? You didn’t bet on me, did you?”

Inferring her intentions through her words, Chen Mobai glanced at her while eating.

“Just a little.”

“Didn’t you say you can’t bet?”

“I didn’t bet on myself, and I bet on you winning.

Chen Mobai thought of his Good Deed Points balance, which was a little over three thousand points, and an idea flashed in his mind.

At dusk.

He called Qing Nu.

“Are you sure you want to place such a bet?

“Consider it as putting some pressure on myself.”

“Alright then, after all, such a small amount of Good Deed Points can’t even cover the cost of the materials for one bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.” Qing Nu looked at the link Chen Mobai had sent her and the three thousand Good Deed Points he had transferred to her. Unaware that this was all he had, she obediently placed a bet on Chen Mobai’s victory.

“A 1:100 odds, not bad.”

“How much? Wasn’t it 1:150 when I watched at noon?”

Chen Mobai was taken aback when he saw the screenshot sent to him by Qing

Nu.

He immediately asked the insider, Shi Jingjing, who told him that odds change constantly with the betting pool. It probably changed because after the footage of Chen Mobai’s morning match was uploaded, some gamblers thought highly of him and wanted to place a bet on him winning the championship, which in turn caused his odds of winning to drop.

In any case, the bookmaker never loses.

“So that’s how it is, I thought the odds were static.”

Chen Mobai finally understood after reading the long string of text explanations sent by Shi Jingjing.

“Don’t bet on yourself. If you want to bet, you can transfer your Good Deed

Points to me and I’ll bet for you.”

Shi Jingjing’s words have changed, but Chen Mobai doesn’t trust her.

“Don’t worry, I’m just looking, not betting.”

On the betting website.

The favorites are still the four at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

Among them, Yan Feng had the lowest odds at just 1:8 because of his superior family background. Most gamblers believe that he can pull out a powerful rune paper that can determine the outcome of the match.

Kong Feichen came second, followed by Gong Xiangyu, and finally, it was the gloomy Yang Jing.

The public sentiment was indeed quite aligned with Chen Mobai’s thoughts. It’s truly said that the public’s eyes are sharp.

Beyond these four, the odds were all over 50. Basically, most people have defaulted that the final champion would be decided among these four.

However, with more Magic Duels, there have indeed been some unexpected situations.

For instance, during the first round, two sixth levels of Qi Cultivation defeated a seventh level, causing numerous gamblers to lose heavily.

But in the second round, such an occurrence did not happen again. Even Qi Cultivators who were not as proficient in Magic Duels, such as Cao Yaling, relied on their much stronger Spiritual Power to seize victory in the most stable manner.

All the sixth level Qi Cultivators were eliminated in this round.

One of them was Mo Simin. However, after feeling upset for half a day, she peacefully accepted the outcome the next morning. She then went to watch Yan Bingxuan’s second round match with Chen Mobai.

The match was extremely thrilling.

Her opponent was a seventh level Qi Cultiver from the 2nd high school. Yan Bingxuan had used up all of her rune papers and only finally defeated her opponent after relying on her strong Ice Spirit Power.

But the luck didn’t rub off on Shi Jingjing who was up next.

She was matched against an eighth level Qi Cultivator from a private high school named Jade Heng. His name was Hong Gang, and he was surprisingly practicing a skill called Vajra Body. Even though Shi Jingjing saw through his defense, she still ended up losing despite using up all her rune papers, due to the combat capability difference.

After coming off the stage, Shi Jingjing’s eyes were red. But with the comfort of her friends like Cao Yaling, she gradually calmed down.

Thanks to her sacrifice, Song Zheng, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing did not encounter terrifying opponents like Hong Gang on the third day, and all easily advanced to the next round.

Of course, all the other students from the Fifth High School were eliminated in the second round.

Meanwhile, Chen Mobai’s information on the betting website has been updated in real-time to a seventh level Qi Cultivator. After two rounds of matches, even people with the poorest judgement could see his real Cultivation Level.

The 70 students who entered the third round were all in the Later Stage of Qi Cultivation.

The intensity of the Magic Duel suddenly became entirely different.

Besides, at this point, it was impossible to avoid competing with students from the same school.

Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling were matched against each other.

Yan Bingxuan was even more unlucky, as she was matched against Yan Feng. Song Zheng was set against an opponent called Xue Luan, who was a student soldier who went through military training with Xu Yuan and others. He was the strongest among them and was given the title ‘Student Soldier King. Shi Yuanqing was set against a figure named Wu Xue, who was an eight level Qi Cultivator from the First High School, and second only to Gong Xiangyu in talent.

On the other hand, Chen Mobai was very lucky. He was matched against an ordinary seventh level Qi Cultivator..
