Ten minutes later, Elder Gu came back happily.

"The head of the Jin family said that they would ask the referee to immediately rush us. If there is still no one registering after ten minutes, we will be declared a success. However, we must return before 3 PM, because we must draw lots to decide who our opponents will be after entering the top 8. "

Elder Gu had just finished speaking when the referee's urging voice from Ring Three came out. Stage Number 3 still has three chances to issue challenges today, so the Sword Faction that wants to challenge you should hurry up and register at the platform. Within twenty minutes, if the platform still does not receive the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect's challenge, then the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect will succeed in defending the arena in advance. "

Twenty minutes later, the referee announced the success of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. The strength displayed by the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect today was definitely top-notch amongst those already present. On the last day, no one wanted to seek misfortune. The audience also felt that it was very reasonable. They had long forgotten who it was ten days ago that called the people of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect cowards, the shame of cultivators.

Inside the Wangsun Tower, there was the same private room from last time. The atmosphere now was very warm. The ones present were Li Xun and the rest, because they had finally gotten rid of the infamy of being cowards. Furthermore, from the looks of it, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect was already the hottest target for winning the team competition.

After drinking for 30 minutes, he asked, "Li Xun, what do you think about the following matches?" Although Elder Gu's face was red from all the urging, the alcohol would not be a big problem when he reached his level of cultivation. After observing Li Xun for a short period of time, he discovered that Li Xun's intelligence far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and his courage was extremely shocking. He could not bear with others, and with his outstanding talent, his future was limitless.

"Elder Gu, I wonder what kind of competition will be held during the elimination round?"

"According to past experience, it should be a revolving battle between six people, not three. It should be a full battle of strength."

"During these eight to four times, I want to fight first. Firstly, to have the effect of intimidating, and secondly, to conceal the strength of the five people."

"You actually took it by surprise. Of course, the price to pay is also huge, they might not dare to use it when they encounter other sects, but it's hard to say when they encounter us, and with your strength, you will probably sweep through them, even if the other party did not want to target us at the start, it will be very likely that they would go all out because of this. "

"Elder Gu, I have heard my master mention it before. However, I do not know which sword faction would have such means when we meet them this time around."

I believe you have discovered that one of their disciples has reached the seventh stage, so the talent of that woman is definitely not inferior to Zhou Jie and the others. Therefore, I am sure that even if they sent her into the competition, they would not use that secret technique, or else, even if they entered the top eight, they would still not be able to make it far, and even if they used the secret technique to get first place, I feel that they would be at a disadvantage. In any case, my Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect is definitely not willing to part with them. Other than that, both the Wolf Ivory Sword Sect and the Frigid Water Sword Sect have their own secret techniques. This is the first time I have heard of the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect.

"Right." The six all nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Li Xun. From the beginning of the quarter-finals, the Jin Clan will open their gambling house to the public. If you are interested, you can go and play. After the drawing of lots today, the Jin Clan will announce it."

"..."

The meal ended at two o'clock, but the time was just right. When the people from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect returned to the arena, there was no longer any sound of fighting on the stage. Clearly, all eight of the top eight of the team competition had been produced.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Jin Xingtian, who had only appeared on the first day, once again appeared in front of everyone.

"Good afternoon everyone. The top eight of this year's group competition has been fully produced. Let us first congratulate these eight sword sects. The top eight would use the method of six people taking turns fighting each other, and the following battles would be even more exciting. The top eight matches would be decided by drawing lots. Lan One against Hong One, and so on. The victor of number one would then proceed to the semi-finals with Number Two's victor. Number three and Number Four shared the same reasoning. Invite the representative of the top eight swordsmen to draw lots from me. "

"Little Fen, it's better if you go, just grab one. The more casual your performance is, the greater the pressure will be on them."

"Senior brother, I understand." Tian Fen jumped again.

"..."

"Alright, the match-up list has been produced. The Blue One Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, the Red One Cold Sword Sect, the Blue Two Black Sword Sect, the Red Two Great Yu Mountain Sword Sect, the Blue Three Great Qing City Sword Sect, the Red Three Coiling Dragon Sword Sect, the Blue Four Thunder Sword Sect, and the Red Four Fulfillment Mountain Sword Sect." Today, at four o'clock sharp, all the places where our Jin Clan could place bets in Songcheng will begin to accept bets. The top eight will be held the day after tomorrow. "

As Jin Xingtian finished speaking, the crowd began to slowly disperse.

"Elder Gu, are you familiar with the Green Mountain Sword Sect and the Fushan Sword Sect?"

"These two are from our southern region, but at most they can only be considered second-rate sword sects." The meaning behind Elder Gu's words was naturally for Li Xun to not worry.

Li Xun thought for a moment. They wouldn't be able to make it into the top 8 anyway. He would know their strength the day after tomorrow. However, this Coldwater Sword Sect was a little tricky to deal with.

"Elder Gu, are you familiar with this secret skill of the Cold Water Sword Sect?"

"Haha, what a coincidence, when I was training in my early years, I had actually seen this secret technique of the Frigid Water Sword Sect, it was a secret technique that overdrawn one's vitality, and its power was very strong. At that time, a few members of the Frigid Water Sword Sect were attacked by the Chou family, so as outsiders, we could only choose to not help. At that time, the people from the Frigid Water Sword Sect were all at the peak of the seventh step. Under such circumstances, when they were outnumbered, they used secret techniques to forcefully increase their strength, and actually reached the ninth step. At that time, the people from the Frigid Water Sword Sect were all at the peak of the seventh step, and when they were outnumbered, they used secret techniques to forcefully increase their strength, and actually reached the ninth step. Under normal circumstances, the strongest person you can meet is only at the eighth step. Someone who can reach the eighth step before the age of thirty is, in my opinion, not someone who would be sacrificed in a convention like this, so you shouldn't worry about that. "

Li Xun smiled. He knew that his current strength was at least at the Tenth Order. If he were to spout nonsense, he would definitely be able to laugh at all the young elites in this year's Grand Meeting. Li Xun couldn't help but think of the old man. If it wasn't for the fact that this old man had always taken care of him, would he have possessed the cultivation he had today?

After parting ways with the Elders, Li Xun led Qin Qing and the others back to the Dong Residence. Along the way, he saw several places where people had placed their bets. Moreover, every place was bustling with noise and excitement.

After dinner, Li Xun left the Dong Residence and went to the nearest betting area. It was different from the afternoon.

"Boss, what are the payout rates for each of the sword sects now?"

"Hehe, what a coincidence. The payout rate has just been updated. It's all over there. Take a look for yourself." The owner pointed to a signboard beside them.

The fight between the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect and the Frigid Water Sword Sect had a 1: 1.1 ratio, which was practically no profit at all. The Frigid Water Sword Sect had a 1: 20 ratio, so the other three matches were relatively more reliable.

"Boss, why is the odds of this Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect winning so low?"

"Haha, little brother, I believe you also want to bet on the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect to win."

"Yeah."

"I advise you not to buy it. When I saw the payout, I wanted to cry. I had previously bought a thousand purple coins from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect to win. This time, the people sent by the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect are not simple at all." If you really want to buy it, you should just buy them to win with a few other people. Although this is a bit random, the odds are still high and it's fixed, so it won't change after the bet. "

"Let me see." What Li Xun saw was, Sky Mountain Sword Sect had one person winning, one to six, two to one, one to five, the remaining three to four, four to one, five to one, the remaining six to one, the remaining one to five, and the Frigid Water Sword Sect's odds were all five times higher than Sky Mountain Sword Sect's. My god, isn't this saying that no one is optimistic about the Cold Water Sword Sect?

Li Xun still did not have enough understanding of the Sword Soul Continent, he did not know how shocking a Sixth Order Warrior's Golden Sword Qi was.

"Boss, what's the most you guys got?"

The boss had long since seen through Li Xun's temperament and clothes that Li Xun must have some background, so he didn't blame Li Xun for asking this question.

"Haha, little brother, it seems this is your first time betting. Our Pine City betting points can only receive a maximum of fifty thousand purple coins. If you exceed fifty thousand gold coins, then you will have to go to the Jin Clan's special betting station."

Li Xun nodded as he thought it over in his mind. In the end, he decided to buy thirty thousand purple coins from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. Li Xun understood that as a man, he should keep things to himself. If he won too victoriously, it would be hard to ensure that the Jin Clan wouldn't take the opportunity to take revenge in the future. Who wouldn't be in trouble in the future?

"Boss, I've decided. I will buy thirty thousand purple coins from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect." Li Xun took out three 10,000 denomination purple-gold notes.

"Ah?" Little brother, are you considering whether or not to bet so much money? I believe it's not something an ordinary family would do. Although the match between the Coldwater Sword Sect and the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect seemed to be won without any suspense, it was unlikely for the two of them to be inferior to the one Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. From the looks of the arena battle, the Coldwater Sword Sect is still rather strong, but they were unlucky enough to meet the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect. This boss was really not bad. Although other people had to place more stakes here and his own commission also increased, he still specially reminded Li Xun.

Li Xun also felt kind from the boss, but he didn't say anything more and could only laugh out loud, "Boss, I won all this money from gambling today. I feel that I'm quite lucky today, buying big and buying small, buying leopard and leopard, don't try to persuade me. If you want to play, play big."

The boss looked at Li Xun and thought to himself, "Looks like he's another prodigal who came to burn money. With such a good model, the boss shook his head and accepted Li Xun's bets, issuing a wager." "Little brother, if you really win, because the stakes are too high, you can only go to the Jin family's special betting station to get the money. If you don't know someone from Songcheng, they would tell you everything."

"Hur hur, Boss, you're a good person. Thank you very much."
