Betting? Who to bet on?

The voice of Dean Shan Zhang Gao Qingyu continued, individual names being spoken from his mouth.

All the students in the school were seriously memorizing.

Because everyone knew that more than 90% of the influential figures of this year would likely be among these hundred people!

"Second place, Huo Churan. Two hundred and eighty-five points."

"Third place: Ding Ziran! Two hundred and eighty-one points."

"Fourth place, Qiu Yunshang! Two hundred and eighty points."

"Fifth place, Xie Gongping, two hundred and seventy-nine points."

"Sixth place, Mo Ganyun, two hundred and sixty-nine points."

"Seventh place, Ximen Xuri, two hundred and fifty-one points."

"...Tenth place, Jing Shuanggao, two hundred and forty-two points!"

"...One hundredth place, Kang Zijian. Two hundred and one points."

Fang Che was a little surprised.

That guy Kang Zijian actually made it. So coincidentally hanging on by the skin of his teeth.

Huo Churan and the others went on stage one by one, standing beside Fang Che, each looking at Fang Che with complicated expressions.

Ding Ziran, Huo Churan, and others ranked at the top looked at Fang Che with even more hostility.

This guy won against us using cheating methods?

You can cheat when acquiring points, but when it comes to a real fight on the arena, how will you cheat?

I will definitely beat you and make you look ugly in public!

Especially Huo Churan.

His face was pitted and rough, very unattractive, basically below average in appearance, belonging to the bottom end of the ugly spectrum.

He was even more stifled with anger: When I fight him, I won't hit anywhere else!

I'll specifically target that face!

Someone was thoughtful, muttering to themselves.

"The names of this year's students have a common point with the names of students from previous years."

"What is it?"

"It's that the names of those ranked at the top may not necessarily sound good, but they all have a special charm, unique and not ordinary."

Those who heard this pondered carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

Fang Che, Qiu Yunshang, Ding Ziran, Huo Churan, Xie Gongping, Mo Ganyun...

Compared to the names of the influential figures from previous years, such as Jun Hefang, Hua Kaixie, Dong Yunyu, Wu Zhibing...

Thinking about it, they couldn't help but take a breath.

"Now that you mention it, it seems... there's some truth to it?"

"But doesn't this seem like metaphysics? Could it be that getting a good name can..."

"Not necessarily."

"..."

The discussion continued below.

The proceedings continued normally above.

"The rules for the New Student Top 100 Competition are as follows."

Now speaking was the Dean Lu Jiaoshan: "Divided into five arenas, with battles taking place in rotation to determine the top three and top ten. The rest will be uniformly regarded as the top one hundred."

"The rewards for the top one hundred are one Martial Master Realm High-Grade Soul Pill, ten Martial Master Realm High-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, and ten credits."

"The rewards for fourth to tenth place are one Martial Master Realm Top-Grade Soul Pill, ten Martial Master Realm Top-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, one High-Grade Meridian Expansion Pill, one High-Grade True Essence Pill, and thirty credits."

"Second and third place will receive one Soul Pill, ten Qi Gathering Pills, one Meridian Expansion Pill, and one True Essence Pill. Well, the pills are all top-grade. Fifty credits."

"The champion will receive two Top-Grade Soul Pills, twenty Qi Gathering Pills, two Meridian Expansion Pills, two True Essence Pills, and one hundred credits. And a 'Champion Gold Medal'."

"From the day the champion is decided, any student of the same cohort, as long as they are willing, can challenge the champion. If they win, they will take the gold medal!"

"Whoever has the gold medal is the target! Persist for a month without defeat, and there will be rewards! Every month! Double the rewards for half a year without defeat! Double again for a year! If you still haven't been defeated by the time you graduate, you can enter the School History Museum."

The new students below were in an uproar.

The rewards were undeniably substantial.

But there was also a burden.

Of course, there were those who thought the Champion Gold Medal was a burden; but there were also those who yearned to obtain this medal!

And there were quite a few of both.

Different people, different views.

Finally, the Dean brought up a point that made people somewhat confused.

"Gambling is prohibited within the Martial Academy, but similar arenas are not prohibited from betting. However, betting can only be done with credits!"

As soon as these words came out, all eight thousand new students were in an uproar.

Such a thing existed? How important were credits! One credit could be exchanged for one High-Grade Qi and Blood Pill of the same rank!

And in the outside world, such a High-Grade Qi and Blood Pill for the Martial Master Realm would cost about fifty thousand taels of silver, and even then, you might not be able to buy it! Betting with credits was simply a huge gamble! Each person had ten credits from the day they entered the Martial Academy.

From then on, within the Martial Academy, gold and silver were not recognized, and even Core Spirit Crystals were not recognized.

Only credits were recognized!

Including all expenses such as eating and cultivation. If you really couldn't earn enough, you could take out a loan. Borrow one credit and repay two credits worth of resources after graduation.

Which was equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver worth of resources.

Of course, you can borrow, as long as someone is willing to lend it to you.

And some of the senior debtors had their eyes gleaming.

The opportunity to make a comeback is here! In just an instant, all the information of the top 100 had already piled up into a small mountain in front.

"The arena battle will begin tomorrow morning. At that time, there will be places for betting and staff from the organization. I advise everyone, bet with caution!"

Dean Lu Jiaoshan's words were quite meaningful.

But now the gamblers were already red-eyed.

After the meeting was dismissed, before even the hundred people on the stage had left, the booklets below were snatched up.

"Give me one!"

"Give me one too!"

"Damn, I'm going to get rich!"

"..."

Lu Jiaoshan watched the scramble below with a blank expression.

He rolled his eyes inwardly.

The Headmaster looks like a very refined person, so why is he so black-bellied? On the first day of admission, he buried such a big pit for all the new students! This betting will be recorded in the archives! In other words, all these guys who participate in gambling are tainted. Generally, small-scale gambling will eventually be forgotten.

But those guys who bet big and lose miserably will be entered into the archives after the Martial Academy's re-evaluation.

After these guys graduate, no matter how strong their abilities are, they will never be able to take on those lucrative jobs!

Because here, it has already been defined.

Too much gambling! So elimination, in fact, has already begun on the first day of entering the Martial Academy.

And afterwards, there will definitely be countless people who have lost all their credits. These guys need to eat and cultivate... they all need credits, and they will inevitably have to work hard from then on!

It is also beneficial for improving martial arts.

In any case, measures have both advantages and disadvantages.

But even if this is beneficial, it cannot hide the Headmaster's black belly. That's for sure!

When Fang Qingyun's classmates wanted to chat with Fang Che, they found that Fang Che had long disappeared.

They were somewhat disappointed.

Then they became excited.

"Qingyun, Qingyun, who do you think we should bet on?"

Everyone asked Fang Qingyun with great interest.

Fang Qingyun's honest and upright face showed difficulty: "You know I never gamble, including last year I didn't bet."

"So you've had a much more comfortable year than us!"

The crowd sighed.

"Didn't you learn your lesson last year? You're still betting this year?"

Fang Qingyun said, "Old Du, Old Wu, Old Liu, you guys spent a whole year paying off debts, and you just finished paying them off a few days ago."

"It's okay!"

The three shook their heads like rattles: "As long as we win this year, all the losses can be made up!"

Fang Qingyun shook his head: "I won't give you any advice, you decide for yourselves."

After speaking, he walked away quickly.

In the past few days, he suddenly felt that his memory had improved a lot, and his cultivation had become much faster. Some obscure moves that he couldn't practice before were now easily mastered.

Now his enthusiasm for cultivation is high, and he can't care about other things at all.

Fang Qingyun left.

The remaining people gathered together to discuss.

"Who should we bet on?"

"Of course, it's our cousin!" The six girls said in unison.

As fans of good looks, they are so open! Several boys hesitated.

"But cousin... this first place is like cheating. We haven't seen his real strength."

"What cheating? If you don't have the strength, can you cheat?"

"But this is just being opportunistic."

"That's right!"

Several girls suddenly flared up: "This can only be said to be opportunistic at most, what cheating! Can you speak properly?"

Several boys instantly cowered: "Yes, yes, it's just being opportunistic, not cheating."

Several people exchanged glances: Let's discuss it separately, don't discuss it with the girls. There's no reasoning with them! Very true! Very true!

Let's go! Let's go! ...

Fang Che returned home.

Sun Yuan had already arrived.

During this period, Sun Yuan ran nearly ten thousand miles.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, Sun Enshrinement has continuously robbed, stolen, and extorted more than a dozen aristocratic families! The disciple's aptitude is fine, all kinds of attack techniques are fine, the cultivation method is fine, and the cultivation resources are fine.

So what's missing? Precious medicines to assist in the cultivation of the divine soul.

Precious medicines to assist in the cultivation of the physical body!

As a King-level expert, Sun Yuan naturally knew this, and his biggest regret in his life was that he had nothing when he was laying the foundation, which led to his lifelong achievement only reaching the King-level!

Since he placed all his hopes on his disciple, Sun Yuan would naturally spare no expense to make up for his disciple!

For this purpose, Sun Yuan had almost robbed all the small families attached to the One Heart Sect!

After all, they were obedient, convenient, and easy to rob.

As for those families on the other side, they could easily attract encirclement and suppression. This was his personal behavior, and now that the sect had frequent major events, he couldn't afford to make mistakes.

So this time, Sun Yuan completely robbed his own people! Just as he was robbing the fourteenth family, he received a message from the sect: the Martial Academy competition is about to begin, what are you doing?

So Sun Yuan rushed over here in a panic.

"Master, you're here, please come in and sit down. Night Dream, make tea."

Night Dream agreed, and the master and disciple had already entered the study.

"Che'er..."

Sun Yuan was very gratified, "You are already at the fourth level of the Martial Master Realm, I am really happy. This time I came, it is because of the sect..."

"Master!"

Fang Che interrupted him and said to Night Dream, who was carrying tea in, "You go out, I will serve Master, close the door."

"Yes."

Night Dream went out with her head bowed.

"It's better for this girl to know less, it's dangerous for her, and it's dangerous for us. It's better to be cautious."

Fang Che said.

Sun Yuan was extremely gratified that his disciple was so cautious that he wouldn't even let his personal maid know!

He patted Fang Che's shoulder and said, "I'm relieved that you can be so cautious. After reporting it, I think the Sect Leader can rest assured about what task you will perform next."

[Yesterday I said it was my first time writing a book, and you guys laughed at me. I was telling the truth, I don't know anything about Qidian, I don't understand any of the rules. I only know how to bury my head and write my own stuff. In this situation, it's actually not as good as a newbie.

I don't know if it's popular or not, and I don't know what to do.

There are not many years left to write books, and now I just want to do my best to write a book that I can feel satisfied with.

That is, I write out what I think is the best state, even if the results are not good, I have a clear conscience.

Let myself feel: At least this book, I didn't fool you.

That's good.

So that I won't have any regrets after retirement.

So in this book, I basically didn't add water where I could, and just wrote chapter by chapter so seriously. If I feel something is wrong, I will come back and revise it. Several of the previous chapters have been heavily revised several times.

The old problem, writing habits are still there, but I feel that the change is quite big.

After this book is put on the shelves, I will always keep at least two chapters of manuscripts in my hand. I want to explain to you in advance: if the manuscript is less than two chapters during the serialization update, I will ask for leave. Give myself at least one day to think, so that I won't be dissatisfied with rushing the manuscript when I have no ideas. I will tell you in advance at that time.

There is not much time to walk together.

I will cherish this time.

Cherish the limited days we have together, writing as we go.

Years from now, I hope that when you occasionally think of me, you can say: Actually, this author was serious. Besides Evil Monarch's Arrogance, there's also the novel, Lord of the Long Night. And although that one might not have done as well as the previous ones, it was written with extreme care.
