Chapter 336 High-profile odds!
Tianyun City, the imperial city of Tianyun Kingdom, is the largest and magnificent building in the entire southwest.
The large scale of the building is not as hustle as the hustle and bustle as the small town. Instead, there is a solemn and solemn rule everywhere. Passers-by walk and consciously lean to one side. Most of the pedestrian passages in the central area are prepared for the children of powerful people.
Especially in recent days, the entire Tianyun City has revealed a calm atmosphere, and even the fewer powerful children paraded on the streets. Instead, there are many more strangers with powerful auras.
Lin Zong walked out of the palace from the residence of the envoy Meng and walked through the people. The voices of discussion around him were pouring into his ears, mostly about the situation of the summit battle. He found that whenever everyone talked about a name in the competition, some strangers would listen, and then took out the paper scraps to record it.
Lin Zong smiled lightly and guessed that these people should be spies sent by various countries. What made him wonder why these people were also interested in some ordinary geniuses in the outer palace. However, when he found that a geniuse in the outer palace beat a powerful disciple who bullied the Hengyuan market and looked for his teeth, but the powerful disciples didn't dare to let anyone go, he suddenly understood.
The summit battle is a contest between the peaks of all countries in the southwest. Even the most ordinary disciple in the outer palace courtyard is still a existence that looks down on most of the "geniuses" in the southwest.
"If this ordinary disciple of the outer palace appeared in Feng'an Kingdom, wouldn't it be like Ji Wujiu and others, who is the most peak of a country?"
At this moment, Lin Zong suddenly realized that before he knew it, his vision was already very high. His goal in the past was Ji Wujiu, Feng Chaowen them, but is it still the goal now?
He smiled faintly and walked away. These people didn't care about their own business in everything they did, but it was better to do their own business first. Along the way, he heard many people talking about their names, as if they were already very famous.
After walking through several streets, Lin Zong turned around and entered a very luxuriously decorated pavilion.
"Oh! Mr. Lin, you are here!" Seeing Lin Zong, the shopkeeper's eyes were suddenly bright. He hurriedly sent a man beside him with a prenatal aura and prepared to receive Lin Zong. The man frowned and was naturally unhappy when he was released by a shopkeeper of the mysterious level. He couldn't help but snorted coldly.
If it were usual, the shopkeeper would have bowed his head and apologized, but now the shopkeeper just glanced at the big man indifferently and then sent a message. The big man's face immediately changed. He looked at Lin Zong in awe, and walked out like a clasped his fists and trotted.
Lin Zong's eyes flashed, "Shopkeeper Tong, you won't lie to others again, right!"
"Where, where, hehe, I just reported your name to Mr. Lin." The shopkeeper smiled, "Young Master Lin, don't be fooled. Now the news in Tianyun City is quite well-informed, you should have heard of your name."
"Oh?" Lin Zong had already understood something in his heart.
"Haha. With the genius of the Outer Palace Courtyard, it is a rare phenomenon in previous peak competitions. It is hard for you to be famous without being famous. It is our honor to be able to make a deal with you by Lingbaotang!"
Lin Zong nodded slightly, said nothing, took out a dozen silver notes from his arms and put them on the counter, "Old rules, get the goods!" The shopkeeper looked at it and looked surprised: "This time it's at least four million taels of silver. Why are you making money? You are much more expensive than once!... Uh, I'm just talking, just talking, hehe, wait!"
After a while, the shopkeeper took out a big bag from the backstage. "Since you said you came back, I'll prepare it for you!"
"Thank you, the shopkeeper!" Lin Zong looked at it for a moment, nodded, picked up his big bag and walked out.
The shopkeeper watched Lin Zong disappear, shook his head and looked puzzled: "Young Master Lin is really evil. Why do you buy so many medicinal materials every time? Although these medicinal materials are rare for ordinary people, is it still useful for geniuses like Mr. Lin? However, according to rumors, Mr. Lin can enter the 600th place by luck. I wonder if he can survive the next round of test..."
Lin Zong walked out of Lingbao Hall and put a bag of medicinal materials into the Hidden Dragon Space. With a light smile, he returned to the palace.
Two days have passed. During this period, Lin Zong has been staying in his room. Master Zhiyang waited for the man who knew that Lin Zong was in seclusion in the end and did not dare to disturb him. But the few people shook their heads and sighed helplessly. How much can they improve their strength in two or three days? It would be better to hone their practical experience. But they were helpless about Lin Zong's "stubbornness". They attached great importance to this second round of test. Although they understood that the final pass rate was very small, they still had a little expectation. If they passed the second round of test, not to mention rewards, it would also be a huge improvement to their reputation. The benefits of Feng'anguo following Lin Zong are not a little bit.
But what angered the few people was the two old ghost masters and apprentices of Xisha Kingdom. None of them could make a thousand people this time, and they were already jealous of them. This time, when the outside world questioned Lin Zong's strength, the two took advantage of the situation and started a gambling game at this time.
Lin Zong's winning rate was 10 per loss. Ji Wujiu's winning rate was 50 per loss. Those geniuses who speculated that Lin Zong could not survive joined the gambling game, but 98% of the people defeated Lin Zong and the others. Even some people from the Central Palace Court came to join in the fun.
Some people even saw the opportunity to make money and immediately started a bet with Guo Hu, Mo Yun, Sha Lin, Ren Xiaolu and others. But in general, the odds of Lin Zong and Guo Hu were the lowest. Lin Zong lost ten and Guo Hu lost five.
Just as everyone was in trouble, Lin Zong also came out of seclusion, and there was a hint of confidence between his eyebrows than before. He heard that the old ghost master and apprentice of Xisha had set up a gambling game, and immediately took all their belongings, and borrowed some more than one million taels of silver from Master Zhiyang and others to defeat him.
But not long afterwards, Mo Yun and Lu Ren came over and told Lin Zong that there was unfortunate news.
"What, Guo Hu is dead!" The moment he heard the news, Lin Zong suspected that the news was fake. The man who was proud of the heroes with his strong body was lucky enough to get a blue ball and was about to enter the second round of the test. Was the person who was rumored to pass the test more than himself? Was the person who had more hope to pass the test?
Mo Yun and Lu Ren nodded heavily at the same time, "Lin Zong, the news is true. Guo Hu fought a decisive battle with a genius from the Central Palace Court and died in the end! That genius was ranked lower than Guo Hu, with more than 700, but Guo Hu was still defeated in the decisive battle with him. When we were most disappointed, Guo Hu also used the magic weapon given by the envoy!"
"It's lower than Guo Hu? Use magic weapons?" Lin Zong's eyes shrank fiercely. He understood how huge the impact of this news was. It can be said that before him, Guo Hu was a veritable genius strong man in the outer palace. Even now, no one thinks he can compare with Guo Hu, otherwise his odds would not be higher than Guo Hu.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Zong's voice was slightly lowered.
He also understood the reason why Mo Yun and the others were heavy. Even Guo Hu was defeated by people who were nearly 100 lower than him. So what about them? Is there really a little hope?
"That's right. When that genius passed by Guo Hu's hometown, Lu, he had some connection with Guo Hu's sister. Unexpectedly, that genius was just pretending to be false and abandoned after playing. Guo Hu's sister came up and was raped and killed brutally... Alas, Guo Hu is also a person with a miserable life. It was not until the moment before he died that everyone knew about his situation..." Mo Yun said with disgust.
"What's that genius' name?" A cold light flashed in Lin Zong's eyes.
"It seems to be called Chu Sheng." Lu Ren thought for a while and said.
Lin Zong smiled coldly, "It's indeed a beast!"
The news of Guo Hu's death soon spread throughout the Outer Palace Court. All the people who were highly anticipated for the second round of test fell into silence. Although they did not think that Guo Hu and Lin Zong could pass the second round of test, they were still somewhat expectant from the bottom of their hearts. They also needed some people to prove that the people in their Outer Palace Court are not worse than those in the Central Palace Court or even the Inner Palace Court!
But this news was like a dark cloud covering their heads, leaving them unable to see any sunshine. When many geniuses in the Central Palace Courtyard were chatting and laughing, the entire outer Palace Courtyard fell into a dead silence.
Perhaps the only one who is happy is the old ghost master and disciple of Xisha. Guo Hu's death proved their prediction. So the moment they heard the news, they began to adjust the odds again.
Lin Zong transferred from one compensation of ten to one compensation of thirty; Sha Lin, Feng Ling, Ren Xiaolu and others paid fifty; the remaining Ji Wujiu, Mo Yun and others even paid eighty.
Even so, few people dared to defeat them. Except for a few indignant people who suppressed Lin Zongsheng, everyone was silent.
In this calm atmosphere, the day of the second round of tests has finally arrived.
On the third day, the sky was cloudless. The huge square was filled with strong fighting spirits and geniuses. Except for the strong men and geniuses in the outer palace courtyard, smiling a little reluctantly, the people in the middle palace courtyard and the inner palace courtyard were all full of energy.
The figure of the messenger slowly appeared in the air standing on a stream of light. With a wave of his hand, a platform of more than ten miles in radius rose from the huge square in front of everyone.
"All contestants come forward!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!... Nearly a thousand figures flew out of the crowd and landed around the platform.
