Chapter 146 - Entering The Pavilion (2/2)
“Flying Sword Sect, Zhang Tian Tian, ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, half-Xiantian Realm. Has a great talent in Sword Art and has mastered a kind of hidden sword technique.”
“Huang Que from the Flying Sword Sect, tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, Atavistic Cultivator, with a strength of second-layer Xiantian Realm. Extremely talented in Sword Art and owns a Flying Sword that is classified as a Houtian Weapon. Altogether, he has no problem defeating a third-layer Xiantian Realm cultivator and can go against a fourth-layer Xiantian Realm cultivator!”
……
The words of the white-shirt lady revealed all of the information regarding the twenty disciples of the top four sects one by one.
The eyes of the rogue cultivators glistened as their brains began to calculate who among these twenty geniuses stood the best chance of winning.
It was not that easy to determine from the data given, as each genius possessed at least an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit with no huge difference between each other. Everyone had a chance of winning in this Trial of Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
The white-shirt lady paused for a while before saying, “The Trading Alliance has opened the bet for the first round, the rates are as follows!”
Following her words, the four elders with peak Martial Emperor Realm cultivation standing in front of the palanquin let out a yell. They executed some sort of hidden powerful technique that formed a floating screen before the crowd.
Lines of information were seen on the screen.
“First round’s bet.”
“Wei Hao coming first. Odds: one to one!:
“Huang Que coming first. Odds: one to one!:
“Wang Ruoling coming first. Odds: one to one!”
“Qin Nan coming first. Odds: one to ten!”
……
……
The respective odds for each genius were listed after his or her name.
For example, if anyone were to bet on Wei Hao ten thousand Xiantian Pills and if Wei Hao were to come first, this person would win ten thousand Xiantian Pills in return.
The crowd turned incredibly lively after seeing the screen.
“Hahaha, I’m definitely betting on Wei Hao to come first. Wei Hao is sure to come first!”
“Tsk, Huang Que is more likely to come first. Didn’t you hear? Huang Que possesses a strength equivalent to fourth-layer Xiantian Realm.”
“Bullshit, I’m supporting Wang Ruoling. She is so pretty, she would surely come first!”
……
In the first round, Wei Hao, Huang Que and Wang Ruoling were the hottest picks from the top four sects. As for the Mystic Spirit Sect, the highest pick was Huang Long.
This was different from the previous outcome. Although Qin Nan’s background was able to shock the crowd, when they saw that Qin Nan only had an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, they immediately gave up on him.
Despite Qin Nan’s formidable background, his Martial Spirit was only eighth-grade Huang ranked!
One’s strength and talent were more important in the Martial Serendipity Pavilion than one’s background.
That being said, many rogue cultivators still bet some pills on Qin Nan after finding out that he was an Atavistic Cultivator whose strength was equivalent to third-layer Xiantian Realm.
Qin Nan’s odds were one to ten; If he were to win, they would gain a fortune.
Meanwhile, as the crowd was immersed in their chatter, the white-shirt lady spoke once again, “Activate the Martial Mirror now!”
