Chapter 201

"Not watching, get lost," Luo Tian said unhappily.

"Alright, brother!"

Bai Tianyu didn't say a word and turned to run.

Are you kidding?

If he were any slower, and the person opposite gave him a slap, could he handle it?

"Tch, forget it, I'd better find a place to take a bath and buy a set of clothes," Luo Tian walked away with a dissatisfied face.

On the other side, Bai Tianyu crawled back to the restaurant, drank several large bowls of tea in one breath, and only then did he recover.

"Brother Bai, are you alright?"

The people around asked with concern.

Bai Tianyu sighed and said, "Sigh, I've lived two lifetimes... Brother Han, why didn't you tell me that guy was so dangerous?"

Han Wenzhou, standing nearby, looked aggrieved.

"Brother Bai, I told you from the very beginning, it was you who didn't believe me!"

Bai Tianyu thought back, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

But he still said with an incredulous face, "I can't be blamed for not believing it. A Qi Gathering Realm cultivator killing a Mystic Penetration Realm demon beast in one move—if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it?"

Everyone nodded one after another, expressing agreement.

"Sigh, I just feel sorry for those geniuses in this Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament, being lumped together with such a monster."

Afterward, the banquet dispersed in a hurry.

On the other side, on the long street, two old men, surrounded by many armored soldiers, hurried over.

"How did you handle this? Transporting a demon beast, and you could cause such a big mess!" the old man scolded as he walked.

That group of armored soldiers all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Very quickly, everyone arrived at the location of the Profound Iron Lu Jiao.

"This... is it still alive?" an old man asked.

Another person reached out and touched the Profound Iron Lu Jiao, saying, "It just fainted. The other party showed mercy, but..."

"But what?"

That person stroked his beard and said, "The person who took action was extremely fast, and the force was controlled with terrifying precision! As far as I know, within our Tianshuang Kingdom and the dozen or so surrounding countries, there are many people who can knock this demon beast unconscious in one move, but to be able to do it with such precision... I'm afraid there isn't a single one."

The previous old man exclaimed, "What? Then who was the person who took action?"

An armored soldier nearby scratched his head and said, "We were busy running away before, we didn't see the person who took action clearly..."

"You..." the old man was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened.

"Forget it, even if we knew who the other party was, what could you and I do? But it seems the other party didn't have any malicious intent. Since they don't want to show themselves, we'll just pretend we don't know," that person said.

The old man sighed and said, "Fine, that's all we can do! Men, take this beast away!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, everyone lifted the Profound Iron Lu Jiao and left.

Three days later.

On this morning, inside the Tianshuang Kingdom capital, it was a sea of people.

After all, this Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament was the greatest grand event in the Tianshuang Kingdom and even the dozen or so surrounding countries.

Naturally, it attracted countless people to watch the ceremony.

"Come, come, everyone! The Wanbao Building's Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament betting is open, bet on the top ten and the champion of the Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Betting on the champion, Feng Feiyang is one-to-one, Mo Sha is one-to-one-point-one, Xue Linglong is one-to-one-point-two!"

A manager of the Wanbao Building was shouting energetically.

Someone nearby frowned and said, "Why are these odds so low?"

The Wanbao Building manager rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think it's low? Then bet on this one: Luo Tian of the Night Wind Kingdom, to enter the top ten of the Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament, one-to-one-hundred-thousand!"

That person squinted at the information above for a while and said, "From the Night Wind Kingdom? Qi Gathering Realm, 9th Stage? And he can enter the top ten? Do you think I'm stupid! You take this guy out for people to bet on, isn't this just pure cheating?"

The Wanbao Building manager spread his hands and said, "Then I can't help you."

That person curled his lips and said, "Hehe, look, this is the Wanbao Building! Using such trash to cheat money, I'd like to see who bets on him?"

Who knew that just as his voice fell...

"Luo Tian to enter the top ten, I bet one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!" someone shouted loudly.

"Ah?"

The crowd around heard the sound and were all stunned.

They thought, which sucker is actually so wasteful?

They saw a few young people walk out from the crowd.

It was Bai Tianyu, Lin Zhaoran, and the others.

"Young masters, are you really going to bet on this? I advise you to forget it. This Luo Tian is just here to make up the numbers. I reckon he won't even pass the first round. Isn't your one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones just throwing money into the water?" the Wanbao Building manager said with a smile.

Making up the numbers?

Hearing him say this, Bai Tianyu's mouth twitched.

If that guy is making up the numbers, then what does that make him?

"Don't worry about that, I want to place a bet, will your Wanbao Building take it or not?" Lin Zhaoran said.

The manager smiled and said, "Take it, why wouldn't I make money if it's there? One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones on Luo Tian entering the top ten, our Wanbao Building takes it!"

"Wait a moment, I also bet one hundred thousand on Luo Tian!"

"Me too..."

The few youths nearby also placed their bets one after another.

The Wanbao Building manager was stunned for a moment, but took them all one by one.

"By the way, what are the odds for Luo Tian winning the championship?" Lin Zhaoran asked.

The Wanbao Building manager, upon hearing this, smiled bitterly and said, "Oh my, my young masters! We already got scolded by the Wanbao Building for putting this Luo Tian in the top ten odds. Listing him in the champion list, isn't that just smashing our own sign? No!"

Lin Zhaoran and the others smiled at each other.

They didn't even put Luo Tian in?

That is the real thing that smashes the sign.

Dong!

And at this moment, the bell urging the martial arts tournament candidates to enter the venue rang, and Bai Tian and the others immediately headed toward the entrance of the venue.

After they left, the Wanbao Building manager gathered the spirit stones and shook his head, saying, "This group of spendthrifts, birds of a feather really do flock together!"

On the other side, at the entrance of the venue.

"All you geniuses participating in the Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament, enter the venue with your credentials. In a quarter of an hour, the Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament will officially begin!"

An old man from the Tianshuang Kingdom stood at the entrance and shouted loudly.

Everyone began to enter the venue in an orderly manner.

In the crowd, Lin Zhaoran was looking around.

"Hey, Lin Zhaoran, what are you looking for?" Bai Tianyu asked.

Lin Zhaoran said, "That goes without saying, Xue Linglong! She is my biggest motivation for coming to the Tianshuang Martial Arts Tournament!"

Bai Tianyu had black lines on his head and said, "What is your brain thinking? Now you should strive to get into the top one hundred, and then obtain the quota to enter Mount Sumeru!"

Lin Zhaoran curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I know how much I weigh! You and Brother Han still have a chance to rush into the top one hundred, but I can't! It's better to take this opportunity to look at Xue Linglong a few more times, and I'll be satisfied!"

Everyone:...

Bai Tianyu was even more helpless about this friend of his who didn't attend to his proper duties. He shook his head and was about to walk forward, but who knew that as soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone.

Bai Tianyu was just about to get angry, but after turning around and seeing that person, he hurriedly piled up a smiling face and said, "Brother?"
