Chapter 216
216 The Final Battles [I]
A few days later, as the seventh-ranked Fengdu team in the upper bound, the eighth-ranked Zhongli team and the fifth-ranked Binhai team were successively defeated by the powerful attack of the Xuanbing team.
The AK-47, which once caused a storm, never appeared in the ring again. Seeing that the last two games were left before the end of the academy competition, the opponents of the Xuanbing team were only the fourth-ranked Huaming team and the first-ranked Forbidden team.
But just today, Xuanbing Academy finally met the Forbidden Team first.
Early in the morning, the members of the Xuanbing team were led by Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou outside the main stadium. After several days of contact and everyone’s explanation of Tingyu’s origin, Bu Wenle finally stabilized his mind for Tingyu’s arrival, welcomed Tingyu’s arrival, and encouraged Fei’s future.
It has been a few days since they made a bet, because in terms of the reputation of the Xuanbing team, in the past few games, even if everyone bet, there was no money to earn. So everyone was full of expectations for today’s bets, just hoping that the odds ratio would be higher.
After arriving at the betting point. Everyone quickly found their team’s name on the sign in front of the betting point. Because today’s match between Xuanbing and Forbidden was scheduled for the first game.
They saw that the first line on the sign was written in big red letters: In the first game, Xuanbing team VS Forbidden team, the odds ratio was 2.5:2.
Everyone suddenly let out a sigh, not expecting that the odds ratio would be so low. This was the match between the first and ninth teams! How come the difference in odds was so small! It seemed that the official Forbidden City has no idea who was stronger and who was weaker between the two teams.
Even the 2.5:2 odds were intentionally raised a little to increase the interest of the bettors. However, the advantage of this was that it had attracted the interest of many speculators. For a time, the people who bet on the two teams to win were crowded with various betting points one after the other.
.....
But more people who want to earn a fortune finally put their bets on the Forbidden Team. After all, Team Xuanbing was just a whim, while Team Forbidden was an established champion team.
Everyone in the Xuanbing team also took out all the money in their pockets and bet all on themselves. According to Mr. Buwenle, this was also an incentive for his team to win.
The enthusiasm of the audience present today was very high, because today the two most popular teams are going to play, and it was in the first game. So the audience crowded into the stands early, for fear of missing the opening.
Even the scalpers at each entrance were obviously rare. Many scalpers have given up the opportunity to make money today, and ran in early to wait to watch the match between the Xuanbing team and the Forbidden team. But not to be missed.
When the Xuanbing team entered the players rest shed, the audience was almost full, and even the platform was full of people. And just a few minutes before the opening, the emperor and queen husband and wife also appeared on the high stage one after another, which immediately attracted bursts of applause from the audience.
There was also an old man who came with the emperor and the queen, but few people in the audience knew each other. Just looking at the intimacy between the old man and the emperor and the queen, it could be guessed that the identity of the old man must not be simple.
But not everyone didn’t know the old man. At this time, the old Caitou on the side of the Xuanbing Academy, after seeing the old man on the stage, his eyes were clearly provoked, and he obviously recognized the identity of the old man. It was just that Lao Caitou didn’t mention it. After taking out a big smoke bag and lighting it, he sat on a chair and started smoking his pipe leisurely.
Not long after, the competition started with the announcer of the host.
The referee first stepped onto the arena and announced loudly: “The first match, Team Xuanbing vs. Team Forbidden, starts now, players from both sides are invited to do battle.”
As soon as the judge’s voice sounded, the two teams that had been waiting for a long time jumped onto the ring. No, there was one person who didn’t jump up, and that was Shang Pengyu, the big fat man of the Forbidden Team. He still managed to climb up with the help of his companions.
People wondered how such a stupid person could cultivate to such a high level. It seemed that no matter how advanced the spiritual master was, it was not good if he was too fat.
People even began to wonder if Shang Pengyu would really be able to fly by relying on the closeness and communication with the spiritual element when he reached the fourth-level great spiritual master cultivation level. Even if it could, what would it be like? Some people began to think of the scene of a big fat pig flying all over the sky.
After standing in the middle of the arena, the students from both sides informed each other of their respective cultivation bases. On the Xuanbing team’s side, there were four late third-level and two third-level mid-level cultivations, while the Forbidden Team has six people who were all late-level third-level spiritual masters. The difference between the two teams in terms of cultivation base was not very big.
After the notification was completed, the students from both sides retreated to the two sides of the arena to set up battle formations under the signal of the referee.
They saw the six members of the Forbidden team standing in a three-three formation, and the three Nangong three sisters from the soil family were still standing in the front row. Ruofeng, the captain of the Gold category, Yabu of the Wood category, and Shang Pengyu of the Lei category stood in the second row.
After the formation stood up, they saw that of the six people, except for the fat man Shang Pengyu, the other five had a flash of light in front of them, all wearing a set of protective armor. The armors are all condensed with their own spiritual power.
The three sisters Nangong wore the armor of earth, Ruofeng wore the armor of gold, and Yabu wore the armor of wood.
The situation of wearing armor was not unheard of in the game. This kind of armor consumes much more spiritual power than the shield, but the defense was also much higher. However, it was the first time in a game that 5 of the team members of the Forbidden Team wore such armors.
