Emperor of the North Chapter 122

Chapter 122 - Gambling

"We're all from the same sect, so it's naturally for the best if we call it quits. Make your move. I'm very happy that you didn't directly give up the match, this is what you call a man!"

Li Mu was a little impressed by Nan Gong Yuan's actions, and said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Mu agreed to his request, Nan Gong Yuan immediately launched an attack, he was training in a fire type Qi Method, when he activated the True Essence in his body, his entire body lit up with a layer of deep red flames, his face was gloomy, all of the True Essence in his body converging into his right hand.

"Receive this attack, Raging Flames of the Burning World!"

After he finished channeling his energy, Nan Gong Yuan roared out in anger. His right palm turned crimson red and burned with a blazing aura of fire, he leaped into the air and turned his palm into a blade, slashing down at Li Mu.

Raging flames burned the air and a flame blade Qi completely condensed from scarlet flames cut through the air, transforming into a half moon as it swiftly slashed towards Li Mu. Its aura was so strong that it forced a late Xiantian expert to use her full power.

Facing the powerful attack where his opponent was gathering all the True Essence in his body, Li Mu laughed softly as he channeled his Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations, his entire body glowing with a layer of dark golden light. After reaching the mid-stage postcelestial level, his physical body had become even stronger, he did not use his Heavy Black Iron Hammer nor any martial skills, but directly reached out with his hand and fiercely grabbed onto the crescent-shaped flame blade Qi.

"Boom!"

A wave of flaming qi spread out in all directions. Li Mu stood at his original spot without moving at all, and with his right hand, he clawed ferociously, directly blowing up the crescent-shaped blade qi.

"Oh my G.o.d! Was this still a human body? This is simply a human-shaped savage beast! "

"What? Even a humanoid beast might not be able to take a full powered strike from a mid-stage postcelestial warrior without moving. Senior brother Li's cultivation is truly unfathomable, no wonder he could be accepted as a disciple by Clan Elder Chi Yun!"

Seeing how Li Mu broke through Nan Gong Yuan's attack so easily, many of the spectators below the stage started to discuss among themselves.

"Senior brother Li!" "I admit defeat!"

When Nan Gong Yuan saw that his full strength attack was easily broken, he cupped his hands at Li Mu and without wasting any time, he immediately left the stage, and left without looking back.

"Li Mu wins!"

Very quickly, the judge announced the results, and when the people below heard this, they started to jeer, and there were even some who said that they wanted to follow Li Mu, but Li Mu turned a blind eye to it. river crossing step flashed, and quickly rushed out of the crowd.

In the next few days, Li Mu did not encounter any strong opponents, with his peak Innate strength, Gao Ge defeated many people and quickly entered the top two hundred.

"Why are you so unlucky to meet you? Forget it, I won't fight anymore. I admit defeat!"

On the day that the inner sect disciples went from two hundred to one hundred, an extremely depressed voice came from Stage Nine. This made many of the spectators below speechless, the person who said this was a rather famous late Xiantian expert, Liu Canghai.

"Brother Liu, are you really going to give up just like that?"

Liu Canghai, who was opposite of Liu Canghai, asked with a smile that was not a smile. This was the first time he met someone he was familiar with on the stage, and he was in a very good mood after advancing to the top two hundred.

Fighting with you is simply asking for humiliation. I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to risk my life and not win, and instead want to stay in bed for a few days.

Liu Canghai said dejectedly, and just as he finished, he jumped down the stage.

"Li Mu wins this battle! Successfully advanced to the top 100! "

The referee for Stage Nine reported Li Mu's name with a faint smile. Through these few days of rumours about the people of Gold Jade Sect, Li Mu's name had long spread throughout the entire inner and outer sect disciples of Gold Jade Sect, and even these overseers knew about him very well. For a Innate to be able to take three of Li Yangtian's blows, it made these older overseers feel extremely impressed.

Li Mu cupped his hands at the referee and quickly chased after Liu Canghai.

"Brother Liu, it's really fate. The two of us actually met in the arena." After catching up to Liu Canghai, Li Mu patted his shoulder and chuckled.

"It's my bad luck, but it's not bad. I've already made it into the top two hundred. In fact, even if I didn't meet you, I would have stopped here." Liu Canghai laughed, and said happily.

"That shouldn't be necessary. With your cultivation, there shouldn't be any pressure for you to enter the top 50." Li Mu thought that Liu Canghai was trying to console him and replied smilingly.

Liu Canghai said solemnly: "What's there not to be afraid of, as far as that goes, I am clear of my own abilities, this time's Great Clan Compet.i.tion is different from the past, many of my senior brothers who have been in closed door cultivation for a long time have already come out, it is already very fortunate for me to be able to reach this step, but Brother Li, you, please be careful in the next Great Clan Compet.i.tion, the true compet.i.tion has only just started."

"It's only just started? "What do you mean by that? I also heard that many of the inner sect disciples that have been in closed-door training for a long time have all come out, but a large number of people should have been eliminated by now." Li Mu asked in confusion.

"Sigh!" Brother Li, your cultivation is extraordinary, how could you not think about it? Have you not realized, up till now, the opponents you have met are all ordinary people, and people like Xiao Kuan and Zheng Kun haven't met any of them. Did you not feel anything strange? "

Li Mu frowned as he thought back to it, and in the end, nodded his head and said: "Brother Liu, what you said is true, up until now, with my great battle, you are still the first opponent that I have ever faced in late Xiantian."

"Do you want to know why?" Liu Canghai asked softly.

"What is the reason? Tell me about it. " Li Mu moved his ear closer, prepared to listen to Liu Canghai's explanation.

Liu Canghai looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then said softly: "This is all been deliberately arranged by the higher ups of the sect, and is purposely done in order to prevent powerful disciples like you from encountering each other. In order to pick out the strongest person amongst the inner sect disciples of the Innate realm, I reckon that it would be related to the Grand Mysterious Realm rankings after the sect disciples compet.i.tion."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, but he was still confused, and did not understand the meaning of Liu Canghai's words.

"Let me put it this way. If strong disciples were to fight in the beginning, then there must have been a person who was eliminated first. In that case, in the final battle, there will be a group of strong disciples that will be eliminated. When that time comes, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the other sects."

"And if all of these disciples with great strength are gathered in the top one hundred, then things will be different. The selection will be even stronger, and you can even display the power of our Gold Jade Sect in front of other sects. You understand now, right?" Liu Canghai patiently explained.

"If you say it like that, then I really understand. No wonder I haven't met any powerful opponents these few days. It seems like the senior executives of the sect are doing this on purpose. Does this mean that the last one hundred people are truly outstanding?" Li Mu suddenly realized.

"It's good that you know it. Therefore, you have to be careful in the upcoming match. I placed a heavy bet on you. Recently, my hands have been tight, so whether or not I can stand up will all depend on you!" Liu Canghai laughed mischievously.

"What heavy wager?" What does that have to do with me? " Li Mu asked in confusion.

You don't know yet, but in this sect's compet.i.tion, there have always been bets on the outside of Gold Jade Sect, but according to the ranking of disciples, if we bet, we can obtain a large number of crystal, and I bet that you will be able to enter the top twenty, and a hundred crystal, according to the payout rate, it will be one to five, and if you really enter the top twenty, then I will have won, and obtain five hundred crystal!

Upon mentioning the bet, Liu Canghai was extremely excited and almost laughed out loud.

"Is there such a thing?" Isn't this the same as the gambling gathering in the secular world? Who would be able to sit in this manor and not the sect? "

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As expected, places with people would have rivers and lakes, these words were actually the same in the cultivation world. He never thought that there would be gambling in the cultivation world.

The sect has always turned a blind eye to these kinds of things. After all, this kind of gambling has no effect on the harmony and stability of the sect. On the contrary, it is beneficial for the Large Compet.i.tion on a certain level.

Liu Canghai asked with a mischievous smile on his face. He seemed to be especially interested in this gambling match.

"Listening to you talk about it, I really want to give it a try. What kind of gambling methods do you have? Introduce them to me."

After three years of closed door cultivation, a large majority of the crystal on Li Mu's body had been used up, and there were only less than four thousand crystal left.

The Zhuang family took advantage of the time before you entered the final battle to give you a different betting rate. If you want to bet, you can also do it yourself, for example, you have the confidence to enter the top four, you can bet on yourself to enter the top four, but once you really enter the top four, you will be able to obtain crystal s with corresponding betting rates.

In addition, the odds are also constantly changing, for example, the higher the ranking, the higher the odds. For example, the first place, because there's definitely only one first place, the chances are smaller, but right now you are one of the most popular people in the sect, so if you want to bet, you have to hurry up.

Also, the closer the time is to the day of the decisive battle, the lower the odds were, because many people's strength will slowly be revealed, and their choices will also become smaller. Right now is the best time. Liu Canghai explained in detail to Li Mu.

"So it's like that. Alright then, if I bet, what would the odds be for me to enter the top four?" Li Mu's heart itched from what Liu Canghai had said, he really wanted to run and bet on it.

"Top four! The odds are so high right now. I estimate it to be at least 1: 10. I'll have to take a look at the details before I know. Brother Li, you aren't betting on yourself to enter the top four, are you?"

Liu Canghai was shocked by Li Mu's words. Although Li Mu had received three moves from Li Yangtian and gained a great reputation in the Gold Jade Sect, the Gold Jade Sect was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, especially this time's great sect compet.i.tion. Many inner disciples who had been in closed-door training for many years had already come out.

"Heh heh, I have three thousand crystal here, give me the top four thousand, top two thousand, and the top one thousand! If you really earn it, brother, I will take advantage of you! "

Li Mu excitedly took out a few bags of crystal s and stuffed them all in Liu Canghai's hands.
