The next day, early morning.
Tang Yan recovered from his practice.
After arriving in Fangcheng, he devoted himself to training. With a large amount of elixirs, his strength reached the peak of the third level of Xuanjie.
After washing up, Tang Yan came to the city lord's courtyard.
"Let's go and eat." Lin Xiao greeted with a smile.
"Isn't Liu Zhi going today?" Tang Yan asked when he saw that there were only Lin Dongxue and Lin Xiao in the courtyard.
Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "I already know that you met Liu Jing in Cangyun Mountain. Liu Zhi has already gone to where he should go."
Tang Yan was shocked when he heard this. Liu Zhi should go see his second uncle!
"Thank you, City Lord." Tang Yan cupped his hands and said.
"The Liu family deserves it, so don't mention it." Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let me tell you about today's competition."
Tang Yan nodded and listened to Lin Xiao explain the rules as he walked.
"Same as yesterday, we will draw lots for a duel. Since the number of people has been reduced to half, twenty will be entered into ten in the morning, and ten will be entered into five in the afternoon. The final top five will be ranked the day after tomorrow." After Lin Xiao briefly explained, he continued: "Today, There will be an unprecedented gambling game.”
"Bet?" Tang Yan became more interested and asked with a smile, "What are you betting on?"
"Bet on who will be in the top five besides the four young masters from the Eastern Region. You can choose a favorite player among the remaining sixteen players to place bets. The odds are one to one for everyone."
"Are these odds too hasty?" Tang Yan asked in surprise.
"The odds have been like this in previous years. Because the bookmaker has Fang Cheng participating, its credibility has increased unprecedentedly, and many people will take a gamble." Lin Xiao explained patiently.
"City Lord, are you ready to place a bet?" Tang Yan asked with a smile.
"I will bet five hundred thousand taels of silver on both you and Dongxue. You two have to fight to prevent the money I have saved over the years from going in." Lin Xiao joked.
"Hmph, a few days ago, Tang Yan went to break into the Juesha Building, and we made a million taels, so how can we use your savings!" Lin Dongxue exposed it unceremoniously.
Lin Xiao's old face turned red and he pretended to be angry: "What do children know? My father saved the winnings last time. I used my savings to bet this time."
Tang Yan smiled a little. Although the city lord was usually aloof, he was not majestic in front of Lin Dongxue.
The three of them came to the square, which was already overcrowded.
Tang Yan and Lin Dongxue found their seats in Yuncheng and sat down.
Several city lords sat on the judging panel.
"Dang——" A melodious bell sounded, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.
The Lord of Fangcheng stood up, his voice mixed with true energy, and spread in all directions: "Everyone, today is the second day of the Eastern Region Competition. The duel rules are the same as yesterday. The players draw lots to duel.
Before the competition, we have an entertainment activity, which is to guess who will enter the top five in this competition. "
"The four young masters from the Eastern Region do not participate in betting. The odds for other players are one to one. The minimum bet is five taels of silver, with no upper limit. The names of all participating players are on the big signs." Fang Wentian had just finished speaking. , a big sign was erected.
The names of sixteen players are recorded on it, and behind each person's name, there is a word "bet", which currently displays "zero".
"As everyone places bets, the number of bets behind each player will be updated accordingly. The betting time is two quarters of an hour. Those who want to place bets are asked to register on the northwest side of the square. Contestants, please come forward and draw lots now. .”
After Fang Wentian finished speaking, the scene suddenly became excited.
"Miss Wan Fei is pretty good. She defeated her opponent in two moves against a second-level Xuan-level player before."
"Song Qing from Songcheng also has great potential, and his strength reaches the third level of Xuan level."
"I'm optimistic about Qingcheng Sun Long."
"Yuncheng Lin Dongxue is a dark horse."
"Yes, Lin Dongxue also has potential."
"..."
Almost everyone is discussing who has the potential to be in the top five.
By the time Tang Yan and others finished drawing lots, the betting area on the northwest side of the square was already overcrowded. Twenty registration points seemed completely unable to withstand everyone’s enthusiasm.
"I bet Qingcheng Sun Long, thirty taels of silver!"
"Sun Long, fifty taels of silver."
"Songcheng Songqing, ten thousand taels of silver."
"Sun Long, one hundred taels of silver."
"A square city worth ten thousand filial penny, twenty taels of silver."
"Yuncheng Lin Dongxue, fifteen taels of silver."
"Song Qing, five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"..."
As people placed their bets, the numbers kept changing as people's names were "betted" on the wooden signs.
This big brand seems to be supported by a formation and will be automatically sorted according to the total amount of bets.
Those who place big bets are basically the families in each city, and they will support the best children in the city. Firstly, you will get to know each other, and secondly, you will have the possibility of winning money.
This is very painful for Tang Yan.
No family in Yuncheng came to watch the battle, and although Tang Yan won yesterday, his strength was only at the Xuan level. No one believed that he could make it into the top five, so there were only a few votes.
With sixty-six taels of silver, he is firmly ranked first and last.
Lin Dongxue showed the power of the third level of Xuanjie yesterday. Just after half the time, she received the support of more than 3,000 taels of silver. Although the ranking is still low, he is much better looking than Tang Yan.
As time passed, the rankings basically stabilized.
Sun Long, the one at the top of the sign, was bet more than 48 million taels of silver, almost 50 million taels!
Song Qing, who ranked second, also had 46 million taels of silver bet.
From sixth place onwards, the bets became less crazy. For example, Li Feng, who placed seventh, only bet 900,000 taels of silver, not even one million.
"Hahaha, sixty-six taels of silver!" Someone couldn't help but laughed while pointing at Tang Yan's ranking.
The double-digit bet is even more conspicuous than the first-ranked Sun Long.
"Haha..." Seeing this ranking, Tang Yan couldn't help but touch his nose: "The number is quite auspicious."
"Hahaha!" Lin Dongxue on the side couldn't hold it back any longer and almost burst into tears. She took a long time to catch her breath and said, "Tang Yan, you can be considered the best!"
After taking a look at Lin Dongxue's bet, he saw that it had already reached 20,000. Although it's not much, it's really good to be able to get so much support on your own since you were born in Cloud City.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Look at the rankings above. The top six are all opponents we felt had potential yesterday. Qingcheng Sun Long, Songcheng Song Qing, Songcheng He Fengzheng, Fangcheng Wanfei, Fangcheng Ji Hope to be with Qingcheng Du Qiong."
Tang Yan said sternly: "These people are all at the third level of Xuan level. It is not ruled out that they may hide their strength and reach the fourth level. Be careful when facing them."
"Yes." Lin Dongxue nodded obediently.
"Haha, it's almost time. Does anyone still want to place a bet? Where are the city lords? Don't you want to support the heroes in their respective cities?" Fang Wentian asked with a smile, but his eyes were aimed at Lin Xiao.
Tang Yan's bet is only sixty-six taels, can you bear this?
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Wentian's words, Lin Xiao sat up straight.
But before he could place his bet, he was interrupted by a voice: "Tingxiangguo Miaodanfang, Beiyun City Tang Gongzi, ten million taels of silver!"
"What!"
Hearing this voice, everyone present was shocked.
The prefix of Miaodanfang is not named after Yuncheng, nor the Eastern Region, but Tingxiang Kingdom!
How could Tang Yan be so virtuous and capable that Miaodanfang could bet on him with such a standard?
When an old man wearing a red robe walked out of the crowd, Tang Yan recognized this person at a glance. It was Ge Ming.
Before he could say hello to Ge Ming, another energetic voice sounded:
"Tingxiang Zizhu City, Mr. Tang from Aiyun City, fifty million taels!"
