When he uttered the word "lose", the resentment in Gu Nian's heart seemed to pour out, and his fluctuating emotions seemed to be relieved.
However, Qiu Fei has been cursed thousands of times in his heart.
This kid is really a monkey spirit.
When you feel confident, make a big bet. Once you lose your bottom, be cautious.
I don't believe you can win every time.
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu also joined in, each taking out a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and followed Qiu Fei to bet on Liu Zhuojiu's victory.
This action made Gu Nian's face turn green with anger.
However, the result of the game was beyond expectations.
Liu Zhuojiu's luck seemed to have run out before the round robin.
He fought with his opponent for less than half an hour when his opponent took an opportunity and punched him in the chest, causing him to fall off the ring.
In this situation, where is there any trace of his bravery from previous games?
"Cio!"
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu immediately blurted out curses and almost jumped up.
"Concession!"
Gu Nian swept away the negative emotions that had just been depressed and was in a good mood, "Brother Qiu, your good luck does not seem to have brought you good luck!"
After that, he conveniently swept the three people's bets to him, feeling very proud.
Qiu Fei frowned.
Hearing this, he was stunned, and then he smiled, "It's just a game, there's no need to be so serious. However, I'm optimistic about his next game."
"you mean……"
Gu Nian was obviously stunned and asked hesitantly: "Will Liu Zhuojiu stand out from the tenth group, defeat the other four people, and get the spot of the inner disciple?"
"Choose three out of five. Isn't the probability very low?"
Qiu Fei asked rhetorically.
The probability of choosing three people out of five is indeed not low.
Round robin.
There are five people in each group, and a total of ten games will be played.
Each contestant has four games, and in order to get into the top three, theoretically, he must win at least two of them.
But this kind of fiercely confrontational competition is highly accidental.
Most of the contestants are at the ninth level of the Yin Yuan Realm. No one is absolutely sure of defeating their opponent. During the confrontation, accidents are inevitable.
In this way, there will be a situation where the results of the five people are entangled with each other.
For this reason, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the best inner disciples are selected. When the results of the contestants are the same, the winning relationship between each other will first be considered.
Then, refer to the game time in turn.
These tiny details can often determine a contestant's life.
Therefore, after entering the round robin, the contestants all want to defeat their opponents in a short time and gain a psychological advantage.
In this case, the intensity of the competition can be imagined.
Judging from the situation in the first game, this is what all the contestants did.
As soon as the third game started, the atmosphere became tense.
The fifth man who had a bye in the first two games finally appeared.
After the first four people competed for a while, this person was waiting for work and had an absolute advantage in physical and internal strength.
When Liu Zhuojiu walked onto the ring again, Gu Nian burst out laughing, "Qiu Fei, are you still optimistic about Liu Zhuojiu?"
As he spoke, he threw out five middle-grade spirit stones with a "pop" sound and said wildly: "Qiu Fei, aren't you optimistic about his next game? I'm betting on him to lose!"
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu each took out two hundred low-grade spiritual stones and followed Gu Nian to bet on Liu Zhuojiu's loss.
"I'm still optimistic about Liu Zhuojiu."
Qiu Fei smiled and took out nine middle-grade spiritual stones, "He must win this game, otherwise, he will be very passive in the next game."
In the ring, after half an hour's rest, Liu Zhuojiu's face still looked tired, in sharp contrast to his opponent's confident expression.
When the match supervisor announced the start, the two began to fight.
The opponent's offensive was very fierce, but Liu Zhuojiu still performed as defeated as in the knockout round, defending more than attacking.
However, his defense was much better than in the previous game.
Occasionally, he would launch several attacks on his opponents, but they were all ineffectual and did not put any pressure on his opponents at all.
On the contrary, the opponent's offensive became more and more fierce. It seemed that Liu Zhuojiu would be knocked down in the next moment.
Seeing this situation, the smiles on the faces of Gu Nian and the other three people became brighter and brighter, and their eyes glanced at the nine middle-grade spiritual stones beside Qiu Fei from time to time.
It seems that they are already in the possession of three people.
As time passed, Liu Zhuojiu's situation did not change at all.
He had been trying his best to defend and looked very embarrassed, as if he was about to fall down in any minute.
But his opponent never seized the perfect opportunity and captured him in one fell swoop.
After being unable to attack for a long time, the opponent's mood was greatly affected and he gradually became anxious.
At this moment, the competition supervisor suddenly announced: "Thirty breaths, countdown."
As soon as the countdown starts, it means that the game has entered the countdown stage.
If the two do not decide the winner within thirty breaths, the game supervisor will exercise his supervisory power and declare one of them the winner.
As soon as this statement came out, the situation on the field changed drastically.
Liu Zhuojiu immediately seemed to have changed. A powerful aura erupted from his body. He changed his defensive posture and took the lead in launching an offensive.
He charged at his opponent.
This rush was as fast as a tiger going down the mountain, extremely fast.
Qiu Fei only felt a blur in front of his eyes, leaving an illusory afterimage in front of his vision.
Couldn't help but blink.
When looking again.
Liu Zhuojiu had already rushed in front of his opponent.
A palm knife struck down in the air and hit the opponent's neck.
It's so fast!
It was so fast that the opponent had no time to react, and was knocked to the ground by the palm knife on the spot.
Not even a sound was made.
One face-to-face meeting and the opponent was instantly killed!
This speed and skill are simply incredible.
Liu Zhuojiu finally revealed his true colors.
"ah?"
This sudden reversal stunned Gu Nian, Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu, and they all screamed in surprise.
The three of them all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
Lu Zhonghe also said "Hey" in surprise and shouted: "Ci'ao! Ghost Shadow Step!"
Gu Nian reacted first and quickly asked: "Senior Brother Lu, what are you talking about?"
"A great set of footwork."
Lu Zhonghe explained: "It belongs to the high-level Huang class. I heard that there are 108 kinds of footwork alone. It is intricate, very complicated, and extremely difficult to practice.
I didn't expect that this kid Liu Zhuojiu could actually master it. Judging from his speed, he should have reached the seventh level or above.
If you practice to the ninth level, the speed can increase up to three times through continuous superposition. "
"so smart?"
After hearing this, Gu Nian, Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu immediately showed envy in their eyes.
Qiu Fei didn't agree with Lu Zhonghe's statement.
Lu Zhonghe couldn't see Liu Zhuojiu's true state. It was normal to think so.
Liu Zhuojiu may have learned the Ghost Shadow Step, which indeed increased his speed, but his ultimate ability to defeat his opponent relied on his true energy after reaching the Dongming Realm.
The emergence of true energy is the watershed between cultivators and ordinary people.
This is also the reason why people call those in the Dongming Realm true cultivators.
With this ray of true energy in his body, Liu Zhuojiu can easily burst out with huge power. Coupled with the speed of the ghost step, he can easily defeat his opponent.
It seems that Liu Zhuojiu still wants to play out the same old tricks in the knockout rounds to the end, fantasizing about continuing to confuse his opponents.
"Concession! Concession!"
Qiu Fei smiled and collected all the bets of Gu Nian and the others in front of him, and showed a look of money-seeking.
Seeing Qiu Fei's naughty smile, Gu Nian felt his teeth itching with hatred, but he couldn't say anything and could only stare.
Seeing that their spiritual stones were won by Qiu Fei, Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu's faces fell, and they were depressed and unhappy.
Qiu Fei didn't care so much and put all the spirit stones into his storage bag.
Then, he pointed at the two contestants who were facing each other on the first stage and said: "Of these two contestants, I am more optimistic about the senior brother in the white shirt.
You three, would you like to place your bet again..."
"not coming."
Ning Liqiu and Wu Hexi waved their hands at the same time and said in unison, "If we lose again, I won't even have enough points to sit in the teleportation array."
It seemed that the lives of the two of them in the sect were not as pleasant and comfortable as Gu Nian's.
Qiu Fei smiled deliberately and said: "You three are now leading the inner disciples, and you are much richer than me!"
"so what?"
Ning Liqiu sighed softly, "There are twelve people in the Lingyin Peak team, and they are much higher than us in terms of strength and realm.
So how can a tiny amount of resources be enough for our cultivation? You are not allowed to take on sect tasks every day to earn sect points. "
"Are you so tired?"
Qiu Fei asked curiously: "Didn't you three sign up for this sect competition? What round have you reached?"
"I was beaten in the first round of melee."
Wu Hexi cursed lightly, "More than thirty people are rushing over in a hive. Are you not afraid? There is no other way but to quit."
"You three didn't join the team?"
Qiu Fei asked.
"add!"
Ning Liqiu said angrily: "They look down on us new disciples and ignore them at all. The three of us had to form a team of three."
Ning Liqiu didn't say any more, the ending was already there.
"With our cultivation qualifications, even if we don't advance to the Inner Disciple level in the next year or so, we can still become an Inner Disciple if we break through to the Cave Ming Realm."
Gu Nian was quite unconvinced.
Qiu Fei sneered in his heart.
It’s a dream to break through the realm of insight within two years, right?
The realm of Dongming is the dividing line between cultivators and ordinary people. Once you cross it, you will have a smooth journey and become a true cultivator.
Those who cannot cross it can only accept the fate of ordinary people.
While he was talking, the white-shirted contestant in Arena No. 1 was punched in the shoulder by his opponent. His body shook and he took a few steps backward.
Before he could regain his footing, his opponent had already rushed forward with a swift blast of punches.
Recruitment style.
Punch to the flesh.
Under this attack, the white-shirted contestant finally couldn't bear it anymore and was knocked to the ground, unable to get up.
Just when his opponent was about to rush forward and attack again, he quickly raised his hand to admit defeat.
According to the rules of the game, once one party is knocked to the ground and surrenders, the opponent cannot attack again.
Seeing this scene, Gu Nian's right hand hit his left palm hard, with regret on his face.
After the third round, all fifty contestants have appeared one after another.
Except for the three Dongming Realm contestants, who were ahead of the rest, the results of the other groups had their own winners and losers, and it was a stalemate.
After the fourth round started, Gu Nian suddenly pointed at a person on the sixth stage and shouted: "Senior Brother Zou Yuping is on the stage!"
Qiu Fei turned around and looked.
It’s really Zou Yuping.
He was still wearing a decent orange suit and looked energetic.
His opponent was a tall, thick man with tons of muscles and a strong sense of power.
Qiu Fei was about to use the analytical function of his eyes when he heard Gu Nian shout loudly: "Qiu Fei, I bet Senior Brother Zou to win, do you dare to come?"
Ten middle-grade spiritual stones were slapped in front of him.
