The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 108: Help Young Master Tang!

The next day, early in the morning.

Tang Yan recovered from his training.

After arriving in Fangcheng, he devoted himself to cultivation, and with the large amount of elixirs he consumed, his strength reached the peak of the third level of the Xuan Rank.

After washing up, Tang Yan came to the city lord's courtyard.

"Let's go and have dinner." Lin Xiao greeted with a smile.

"Is Liu Zhi not going today?" Tang Yan asked when he saw that only Lin Dongxue and Lin Xiao were in the yard.

Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I already know about your encounter with Liu Jing in Cangyun Mountain. Liu Zhi has gone to where he should go."

Tang Yan was startled when he heard this. Liu Zhi should go to see his second uncle!

"Thank you, Lord City Lord." Tang Yan bowed.

"The Liu family deserves what they got. Let's not talk about it." Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let me tell you about today's competition."

Tang Yan nodded and listened to Lin Xiao explaining the rules as he walked.

"Just like yesterday, we'll draw lots for the duel. Since half of the people are gone, we'll select ten from twenty in the morning, and five from ten in the afternoon. The top five will be ranked the day after tomorrow." Lin Xiao briefly explained, and continued, "Today, there will be an unprecedented grand gambling game."

"Gambling?" Tang Yan became more interested and asked with a smile, "What are you betting on?"

"Besides the four young masters of the Eastern Region, who will be in the top five? You can choose a favorite player from the remaining sixteen to bet on. The odds are one to one for everyone."

"Aren't these odds too hasty?" Tang Yan asked in surprise.

"The odds have always been like this. Because Fang Cheng is involved in the bookmaker's business, its credibility has been unprecedentedly improved, and many people will take a gamble." Lin Xiao explained patiently.

"Are you ready to place your bet, Lord City Lord?" Tang Yan asked with a smile.

"I will bet 500,000 taels of silver on both you and Dongxue. You better fight for your dignity and don't let me lose the money I've saved over the years." Lin Xiao joked.

"Humph, a few days ago, Tang Yan went to break into the Juesha Tower, and we made a million taels. Why would we touch your savings?" Lin Dongxue exposed him bluntly.

Lin Xiao's face turned red, and he pretended to be angry and said, "What do you know, kid? Dad saved up the money he won last time, and this time I'm using my savings to bet."

Tang Yan smiled a little. Although the city lord was usually high and mighty, he was not majestic in front of Lin Dongxue.

The three of them arrived at the square, which was already crowded with people.

Tang Yan and Lin Dongxue found Yun Cheng's seat and sat down.

Several city lords sat on the judges' platform.

"Ding——" a melodious bell sounded, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

The Lord of Fangcheng stood up, his voice mixed with true energy, spreading in all directions: "Everyone, today is the second day of the East Region Competition. The duel rules are the same as yesterday. The contestants will draw lots to duel.

Before the game, we had an entertainment activity, which was to guess who would be in the top five of this competition. "

"The Four Young Masters of the Eastern Region do not participate in the betting. The odds for other contestants are one to one. The minimum bet per bet is five taels of silver, and there is no upper limit. The names of all the contestants are on a big sign." Just as Fang Wentian finished speaking, a big sign was put up.

The names of the sixteen players are recorded above, and behind each name is the word "Bet", which currently shows "zero".

"As everyone places their bets, the number of bets placed behind each contestant will be updated accordingly. The betting time is 25 minutes. Those who wish to place bets, please go to the northwest side of the square to register. Contestants, please step forward and draw lots now."

After Fang Wentian finished speaking, the scene suddenly became lively.

"Miss Wan Fei is pretty good. She fought against a Xuan-level second-grade warrior before and defeated him with just two moves."

"Song Qing of Songcheng also has great potential, and his strength has reached the third level of the Xuan Rank."

"I am optimistic about Qingcheng Sun Long."

"Yuncheng Lin Dongxue is a dark horse."

"Yes, Lin Dongxue also has potential."

"..."

Almost everyone is discussing who has the potential to enter the top five.

By the time Tang Yan and the others had finished drawing lots, the betting area on the northwest side of the square was already crowded. The twenty registration points seemed completely unable to withstand everyone's enthusiasm.

"I bet on Sun Long of Qingcheng, thirty taels of silver!"

"Sun Long, fifty taels of silver."

"Songcheng Song Qing, ten thousand taels of silver."

"Sun Long, one hundred taels of silver."

"Fangcheng Wanfei, twenty taels of silver."

"Yuncheng Lin Dongxue, fifteen taels of silver."

"Song Qing, five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

As people placed their bets, the numbers after their names on the wooden signs kept changing.

This big sign seems to be supported by a formation and will automatically sort according to the total amount of the bet.

The ones who place the big bets are basically the families in each city, who will support the most outstanding children in their city. Firstly, they can establish a relationship, and secondly, they can have the chance to win money.

This is a tough time for Tang Yan.

No family from Yuncheng came to watch the game, and although Tang Yan won yesterday, the strength he showed was only that of the first level of the Xuan rank. No one believed that he could make it into the top five, so there were very few votes.

With sixty-six taels of silver, he is firmly in first place, the last one.

Lin Dongxue showed the strength of the third rank of the Xuan Rank yesterday. Just after half of the time, she received more than 3,000 taels of silver. Although her ranking was still low, she looked much better than Tang Yan.

As time goes by, the ranking has basically stabilized.

Sun Long, who was at the top of the list, had more than 48 million taels of silver bet on him, approaching 50 million taels!

Song Qing, who ranked second, also bet 46 million taels of silver.

From the sixth place onwards, the bets were not so crazy. For example, Li Feng, who was ranked seventh, only bet 900,000 taels of silver, which was not even over one million.

"Hahaha, sixty-six taels of silver!" Someone couldn't help but pointed at Tang Yan's ranking and laughed.

The double-digit bets are even more eye-catching than Sun Long, who is ranked first.

"Haha..." Seeing this ranking, Tang Yan couldn't help but touch his nose: "The number is quite auspicious."

“Hahaha!” Lin Dongxue at the side couldn’t hold back any longer, she almost cried with laughter, and it took her a long while to catch her breath: “Tang Yan, you are really the best!”

Looking at Lin Dongxue's bet, it has been reduced to 20,000. Although it is not much, but coming from Yuncheng, it is really good to get so much support on one's own.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Look at the ranking above. The top six are all potential opponents we felt yesterday. They are Qingcheng Sun Long, Songcheng Song Qing, Songcheng He Fengzheng, Fangcheng Wanfei, Fangcheng Ji Wang, and Qingcheng Du Qiong."

Tang Yan said seriously: "These people are all at the third level of the Xuan Rank. It is possible that they may have hidden their strength to reach the fourth level. Be careful when facing them."

"Yeah." Lin Dongxue nodded obediently.

"Haha, the time is almost up. Does anyone want to place a bet? What about the city lords? Don't you want to support the heroes in your respective cities?" Fang Wentian asked with a smile, but his eyes were looking towards Lin Xiao.

Tang Yan’s bet is only sixty-six taels. Can you tolerate this?

Sure enough, after hearing Fang Wentian's words, Lin Xiao sat up straight.

But before he could place his bet, he was interrupted by a voice: "Tingxiang Country Miaodanfang, bet on Mr. Tang of Yuncheng, 10 million taels of silver!"

"what!"

Hearing this voice, everyone present was shocked.

The prefix of Miaodanfang is not Yuncheng, nor Dongyu, but Tingxiang Country!

How could Tang Yan deserve such a high level of bet by Miaodanfang?

When an old man in a red robe walked out of the crowd, Tang Yan recognized him at a glance. It was Ge Ming.

Before he could say hello to Ge Ming, another powerful voice rang out:

"Tingxiang Zizhu City, bet on Mr. Tang of Yuncheng, fifty million taels!"
