Chapter 77: Qian Yi

Tuo BaYe and his group were quite far from the arena. When they arrived, the area around the arena was already packed with people.

However, Lei Ting had enough influence, and the Six Paths Squad and the Ten Absolute Squad took turns to secure seats for the Divine Demons Squad.

Lei Ting smiled, "What a coincidence, today it's the turn of the Ten Absolute Squad to take the seats."

Tuo BaYe was a bit depressed. If they entered the Ten Absolute Squad's area, they would definitely have a conflict with the strong members of the Ten Absolute Squad.

Sure enough, when Tuo BaYe and his group appeared, the strong members of the Ten Absolute Squad did not look pleased.

"The biggest dark horse has arrived!"

"Dark horse or not, when it meets our Brother Tian, it will still stumble."

Hearing the cold remarks from the strong members of the Ten Absolute Squad, Tuo BaYe remained calm and ignored them.

Yang Bin and the others, however, could not stand it. Shu Haiyang said, "I remember on the first day, the Six Paths Squad also had a 'Brother Tian' who boasted about defeating our captain, but he was eliminated early."

Liang Tian, who had a short temper, stood up angrily when he heard this, "Don't think that being fast means you can win. You'll definitely lose to me."

"Even the bookmakers are strange. They didn't open a betting pool for our match. Is it because the outcome is too obvious, and the result is already determined?" Tuo BaYe asked, puzzled.

Liang Tian, though a rough person, understood Tuo BaYe's meaning: "Maybe the bookmakers think I can easily defeat you, so they didn't open a betting pool."

"Liang Tian, do you really think that's possible? You and Luo Xiaotian are equally famous, and I defeated Luo Xiaotian. Do you think the bookmakers would think you can win?" Tuo BaYe sneered.

"Damn it, I'll go ask what's going on," Liang Tian said, extremely frustrated.

Yang Bin suggested, "Captain, should we go check it out too?"

"Sure, let's see what's going on," Tuo BaYe said calmly.

Lei Ting became interested, "Hey, if you're going to cause trouble with the bookmakers, count me in!"

Being a bookmaker meant having a strong background. Who would dare to cause trouble with them? Even the strong members of the Six Paths Squad and the Ten Absolute Squad wouldn't dare. They were just going to ask about the situation.

Lei Ting's words made Tuo BaYe, Liang Tian, and the others change their expressions.

Liang Tian quickly said, "Miss Lei Ting, please don't say that. We're just going to ask, not to cause trouble."

"If we're not causing trouble, that's no fun!" Lei Ting lost interest.

However, she still followed them, ready to watch the commotion and, if there was an opportunity, she wouldn't mind stirring up trouble.

Liang Tian found the person taking bets and spoke politely, "Excuse me, why didn't you open a betting pool for my match with Tuo BaYe? I'm Liang Tian, a member of the Ten Absolute Squad."

Seeing that Liang Tian was from the Ten Absolute Squad, the person did not dare to offend him and said, "We don't know about such matters. I'm really sorry."

"Then could you ask for me? Is it because I'm too strong, and the outcome is already determined, so you didn't open a betting pool?" Liang Tian asked.

Yang Bin said coldly, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this."

Liang Tian's face turned very ugly. He looked at Lei Ting and did not react on the spot.

"Sir Liang Tian, I can't help you. If you want to bet, you can negotiate with your opponent. Private bets are also allowed," the person said.

"That's a good idea. In the first round, Luo Xiaotian lost his Liu Yun Sword to our captain," Yang Bin said with a smile. "Liang Tian, do you dare to bet with our captain?"

Liang Tian was speechless. He knew that Luo Xiaotian had lost the match and also lost 1,500 yuan force pills.

However, he thought he still had an advantage against speed-based opponents, so he was somewhat tempted.

Lei Ting smiled, "Do you want to bet? I can be your witness."

"I have no problem, but I'm afraid some people are afraid of losing," Tuo BaYe said calmly.

"Bet! I'm not afraid of you!" Liang Tian was provoked into anger.

"Alright, let's make it a big bet. I'll put up the 1,500 yuan force pills I won last time, plus the Zhan Hu Dao, valued at 3,000 yuan force pills," Tuo BaYe said, feeling happy inside but not showing it on his face.

"Liang Tian, you're an old outer gate disciple. You should have more capital than Tuo BaYe. You can definitely take this bet," Lei Ting said.

Liang Tian was stunned. Seeing Tuo BaYe bet 3,000 yuan force pills, he wanted to refuse, but Lei Ting's words made it impossible for him to refuse.

If he refused to bet with Tuo BaYe, wouldn't it mean he was not as good as a new outer gate disciple?

"I have no choice. I'll have to borrow some yuan force pills. I can't bet my spirit weapon," Liang Tian thought. He had over 1,000 yuan force pills on him and just needed to borrow another 1,000.

He agreed, "Alright! I'll bet with you!"

"It's a deal!"

The bet was settled, but the match had not yet started.

Lei Ting smiled, "Let's go back and watch the matches."

Liang Tian was extremely frustrated. After returning, he quietly borrowed yuan force pills from the Ten Absolute Squad and quickly gathered 3,000 yuan force pills.

On the arena, the matches had already started, and the fights were very exciting.

"Captain, look at the fourth arena. The archer is named Qian Yi. He's a new outer gate disciple this year and the biggest dark horse after you," Yang Bin said.

Tuo BaYe looked closely and was somewhat surprised.

Using his divine sense, he could not only see the opponent's cultivation level but also their spiritual root attributes and bone age.

He immediately saw that Qian Yi was only about twelve years old, had a cultivation level of Nine-star Innate Martial God, and had a single wind attribute, which was an excellent talent.

Qian Yi was definitely a genius, rarely matched by others. But why did he join the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, which was not suitable for his attributes?

Qian Yi had not yet attacked. His movements were graceful, like the wind, making it impossible to predict his actions.

His opponent attacked several times, but Qian Yi dodged each one with his agile movements.

Suddenly, Qian Yi attacked. No one saw how he did it, but his arrow shot out and knocked his opponent's weapon away.

His movements were so fast that he appeared next to his opponent and used the bowstring to choke his opponent's neck.

His opponent's eyes widened in disbelief.

Qian Yi's victory was so graceful and stylish, it was incredibly impressive!

"Qian Yi! Qian Yi! I love you!..." a loud voice shouted.

Qian Yi turned and saw a face full of pimples, turning pale and almost vomiting from the morning's food.

Qian Yi's popularity was very high, even surpassing Tuo BaYe.

Mainly because he was handsome and his fighting style was graceful and attractive, naturally winning the favor of the female disciples.

Although there were not many female disciples in the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, they all cheered loudly.

"Captain, how do you compare to Qian Yi?" Lei Ting asked.

Tuo BaYe sighed, "I'm not as good as him! Sigh!"

"Oh?" Lei Ting was somewhat surprised.

Tuo BaYe said, "I'm not as handsome as him. He can even attract a female with pimples, he's too strong!"

"Ha!" Lei Ting burst out laughing.

Then she laughed even harder, "Hahaha..."

"Is it that funny?" Tuo BaYe shook his head.

"If Qian Yi heard that, he would probably be so angry he'd spit blood," Lei Ting said.

"Miss Lei Ting, do you know Qian Yi?" Tuo BaYe asked curiously.

Lei Ting said calmly, "I know him, but we're not close."

Tuo BaYe did not ask further. Since they were not close, asking would not yield much. He could also tell that Lei Ting did not want to talk about Qian Yi.

The matches continued, but strong opponents like Qian Yi were rare. Tuo BaYe was not interested in watching and closed his eyes.

Whenever there was a strong opponent, Yang Bin would remind Tuo BaYe to watch.

"Tuo BaYe, please go to the sixth arena!" the jade sign announced.

Tuo BaYe opened his eyes and walked up.

Liang Tian, not wanting to be left behind, walked in front of Tuo BaYe.

Liang Tian, though only seventeen or eighteen, was very muscular, over two meters tall, and looked like an iron tower.

Tuo BaYe, though he looked about twelve, was only 1.34 meters tall, making him look like a child next to Liang Tian.

"Tuo BaYe! Tuo BaYe!..."

When Tuo BaYe appeared, the cheers were deafening, almost as loud as for Qian Yi.

His current fame was great, and his claim to win the championship made him well-known.

Initially, many people doubted Tuo BaYe, thinking he was arrogant and did not believe he could win the championship.

In the first round, Tuo BaYe faced a strong opponent, Luo Xiaotian, who was one of the top twenty favorites. Tuo BaYe's victory proved his strength. Whether he could win the championship was still unknown, but at least no one called him arrogant anymore.

Now it was time to test Tuo BaYe again, as Liang Tian was definitely one of the best outer gate disciples.

Liang Tian's cultivation level was also Nine-star Innate Martial God, and he was a half-body-strengthening expert.

Although his body-strengthening cultivation was not yet complete, he had just entered the first level of body-strengthening, where initial divine power appeared.

Because of his body-strengthening achievements, his combat power far exceeded that of ordinary Nine-star Innate Martial Gods.

Tuo BaYe and Liang Tian walked onto the arena. The contrast between them was even more pronounced.

"Tuo BaYe is so small. Liang Tian can probably throw him out easily. Luckily, I didn't bet on Tuo BaYe winning the championship, or I would have lost for sure," an outer gate disciple sighed.

"Tuo BaYe seems to be good at speed, better than Leng Yidao and Luo Xiaotian, but not by much. Facing an opponent like Liang Tian, he probably can't win. Unless Tuo BaYe's strength is comparable to Luo Xiaotian's, he has no chance of winning," some strong members analyzed.

"Speed versus strength, it's hard to say who will win."

The strong members of the Ten Absolute Squad were naturally confident in Liang Tian.

"Liang Tian, throw that kid out of the arena!"

"Liang Tian, you must win and show the newbies your strength, and the strength of our Ten Absolute Squad!"

...

The strong members of the Ten Absolute Squad cheered, and Yang Bin and the others could not stand it.

"Captain is invincible! Defeat that big guy!" Yang Bin and the others shouted.

Cheering for their side was natural, but it also deepened the enmity.

The members of the Ten Absolute Squad and the Divine Demons Squad glared at each other, very hostile.

However, this was the end-of-year competition for outer gate disciples, and no one dared to act rashly.
