My Master Knows It All

515: 183_6 515: 183_6 “What’s up?

Are you interested?”

“Indeed, I’m quite interested.

I’m planning to go place a bet, on Peak Master Cao.”

“I advise you to think it through.

Do you think the people at the betting houses are fools?

Both Peak Master Cao and Star Lord Hao Yue are reincarnations of individuals with great abilities.

Why are the odds for Peak Master Cao higher and why is he less favored?

That’s because the scenarios for Peak Master Cao and Star Lord Hao Yue are different.”

In the crowd, a disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect explained to a friend, “Star Lord Hao Yue has no disciples; he is alone.

He can devote all his experiences to his own cultivation.

To fully restore his cultivation base, and even surpass his previous life at the same realm.

But it’s different for Peak Master Cao.

Peak Master Cao has five disciples, and he is very dedicated to all five of them.

With four with Ancient Immortal Bodies, to be able to bring them up to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection under his guidance, even as a reincarnation of a powerful entity, must have taken a tremendous effort and consumed a lot of his energy.

Thus, when both are reincarnations of powerful entities, one focused solely on himself while the other cannot focus only on himself, isn’t it clear who to bet on?”

“That makes sense, I understand now.

After the tournament is over, I shall go place my bet on Star Lord Hao Yue.”

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, today’s Immortal Competition also began.

Unlike the previous two days, today’s Immortal Competition was no longer ten people to a platform, but a series of one-on-one fights.

The order of the fights was also very simple, based on the number tags they received on the first day.

For example, the winner from the first group of group ‘A’ was ‘A Zi number one’, and the winner from the second group was ‘A Zi number eleven’.

These two would fight first, followed by the winner of the third group facing off the winner from the fourth group at the ‘A Zi’ platform.

Cao Zhen was ‘A Zi number twenty-six’, the victor from the third group at the ‘A Zi’ platform.

Today, he was to fight the person from the second group to take the stage.

Those who managed to emerge victorious from yesterday’s battles clearly weren’t the ones with Golden Core level one, two, or three.

It’s just, his opponent was truly weak.

A Golden Core level five, with only one abnormal Golden Core.

He truly didn’t understand how his opponent managed to fight his way out from a platform of ten people.

He didn’t pay much attention to the later fights at the ‘A Zi’ platform yesterday, so he didn’t know the details.

Yesterday, facing the attacks of nine people, he had managed to win.

Not to mention, he was only facing someone at the Golden Core level five today.

Cao Zhen released his Heretical Golden Core and consecutively cast two sets of the Five-thunder Righteous Method.

The first Five-thunder Righteous Method was dodged by the opponent, but the second was unavoidable; the opponent could only attempt to block it.

Yet, unable to withstand the Five-thunder Righteous Method, he was defeated right there on the platform.

After that, one by one, the disciples from Four Treasures Peak, including Yi Sheng, took to the stage, each winning with ease.

Although those who made it to the second round today weren’t particularly weak, it also depended on whom they were matched against.

The disciples from Four Treasures Peak, each one with the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, how could their opponents compete?

Even Yi Sheng himself possessed an Eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core.

His opponent, not even as strong as the ones from his platform the day before, merely had five Golden Cores.

How could they resist him?

In fact, among those advancing today, there were even those with only four Golden Cores.

These individuals either had special divine skills and cultivation techniques, or they were lucky because the other competitors have nearly wiped each other out, letting them take advantage, or they were even luckier to be in a group with no particularly strong opponents.

Cao Zhen figured out that the Grand Preceptor was indeed controlling the draw when he tossed out the number tags, but it seemed his intention was only to ensure those with the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, those with the Perfect Completion Golden Cores, could bypass the others easily.

The rest, the Grand Preceptor didn’t seem to care much about at all.

He even heard the discussion of the Hundred Peaks Sect nearby: yesterday, there were even two people, each with nine Golden Cores, who ended up in the same group to compete.

Those experts who were eliminated after encountering Xiang Ziyu, Yan Yourong, and the others could only be considered unlucky for having faced the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

The disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect had relatively early numbers on their tags, with the latest one belonging to Yi Sheng, with the character Ji 37.

Those with tags in the thirties were grouped to fight with those in the twenties.

The disciples from Four Treasures Peak had finished their battles early in the day.

After watching for a while, Cao Zhen hurriedly took his group away to return to Yi Mansion, to continue alchemy, while his disciples started cultivating their Divine Skills.

At dusk, Cao Zhen discovered that Yi Sheng’s Scarlet Flame Heavenly Phoenix had already reached level twenty-five in cultivation.

“Cultivating so fast?

If I didn’t see the name, I’d think it was that kid, Xiang Ziyu.

Indeed, the introduction didn’t lie.

Scarlet Flame Heavenly Phoenix, difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, has an incredibly high speed of progression in the early stages.

Just not sure, how early is ‘early’?

Is level fifty-one still considered early?

“My Golden Core pill is almost ready.

Tomorrow, it should be ready.

I wonder if, by then, Yi Sheng can push the cultivation of the Scarlet Flame Heavenly Phoenix to its limit.”

Cao Zhen devotedly refined his pill.

In the Capital City, the second round of the great competition of immortals had also come to an end.

Many cultivators, having a clearer understanding of everyone’s strengths, flocked to the various gambling houses.

Upon learning of the new betting method at Tongbao Gambling House, many chose to go there, but soon after, another piece of news arrived.

“What?

Xing Kui Betting Shop has a new betting method?”

“You can bet on four people at the same time, and as long as any three of them win, you’re considered victorious?

Doesn’t this significantly increase the success rate?”

“Indeed, it’s much higher, but the principal amount is also greater, isn’t it?”

“How much more principal?”

“Look, four people, any three of them, means there are four possible combinations, so that’s four times the principal.”

“Regardless, this method seems much better.”

“Let’s go, to Xing Kui Betting Shop.”

In the Capital City, the managers of each gambling house cursed as they watched customers leaving for Xing Kui Betting Shop.

“That Yi Qiancheng is too cunning!”

“He must have anticipated that we would copy him, so he held back some of his wagering methods.

Moreover, he knew that in the daytime, everyone would be watching the competition among the immortals, so he didn’t announce other wagering methods.

Only after the competition among the immortals ended did he publicize this new wagering method.”

“Go, send someone to Xing Kui Betting Shop immediately.

We will follow whatever way they’re betting.”

“But, boss, some of their betting methods are quite complex.

And it seems like the odds they’re offering have also changed—they’ve based it on their own odds.

If we were to copy them directly, we’d need to change the odds too.

Exactly how to change them, it’s not easy to adjust on short notice.”

“If it’s not easy to adjust, then learn from them—how they bet is how we bet!

Why are you still standing around?

Knowing that their betting method is complicated, shouldn’t you be hurrying to learn from Xing Kui Betting Shop!”

The odds set by various gambling houses in the Capital City were generally similar, but there were also slight differences.

However, tonight, as night fell, the odds of all the gambling houses in the Capital City ended up being exactly the same.

All the gambling houses followed suit with Xing Kui Betting Shop.

It was just too late for them to change.

Today, Xing Kui Betting Shop was once again the gambling house with the biggest gains!

At Tongbao Gambling House, the owner listened to his subordinate’s report and burst out harshly, “Tomorrow!

We’ll see tomorrow!

I refuse to believe that Xing Kui Betting Shop can come up with any new tricks tomorrow!”
