Two girls wearing silver sweaters were sitting in a neat and tidy room.
Looking at the ten digits projected by the intergalactic communicator, the two pairs of dull eyes looked at each other.
"So much money, so much money!"
"Yeah!"
"Are we going to continue tomorrow?"
"Of course. It's the boss's mission.
What do you think the odds will be tomorrow? "
"Even if it's lower than today, it won't be that low.
After all, his opponent is so strong. "
"The Northern Alliance's money is so easy to earn.
We need a lot of it right now. We can use it when we get back.
Hehe.
I'm so happy! "
"But are you sure he'll win tomorrow?"
"Of course!
He has to. "
…
Early in the morning, the streets surrounding the Major League Stadium were packed to the brim with people.
The line to get into the stadium took up almost every street in a five-kilometer radius.
Scalpers were taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Tickets were sold at astronomical prices, but people were still buying them.
The only thing the scalpers were upset about was that they didn't buy more tickets in the first place.
Although these electronic tickets were authenticated by real names, no matter what, there would always be loopholes.
The crowd chatted as they lined up to get into the stadium.
The street was bustling with activity and was especially lively.
"Which one do you think will be the most exciting?"
"Hard to say. There aren't any particularly exciting matches today.
Let's see!
The Pharmacist versus the Dark Sorcerer in the second group should be worth watching.
Do you remember?
In the first round of the round-robin tournament, the Dark Mage had once created a giant skull. Later, it was analyzed by others.
It looked like a lizard's skull.
The size of a lizard.
I'm afraid it's an evil dragon.
I think the Terminator mentioned something about an evil dragon.
The Dark Sorcerer didn't use it in the second round. Maybe he's saving it for the Pharmacist.
I think it's going to be intense. "
"Idiot, which match is intense? Can't you just look at the odds?
The Pharmacist versus the Dark Sorcerer, the Pharmacist wins.
The odds are one point eight. The Dark Sorcerer wins, one point two.
That's the closest of all the matches.
It's obvious that today's match is the most intense. "
"That God King in the first group also has two wins, and he even defeated the Wolf Emperor. Is it possible for him to have a more exciting fight with our Hercules?"
"Tsk, what are you thinking?
How strong was Hercules?
That bullsh * t God King didn't stand a chance at all.
With just one punch, Hercules will beat the shit out of him. "
"Hahahaha, well said!
Just one punch.
In any case, I bet 5000 on Hercules today, even though the odds are only 0.5.
But it was also free money.
That kid wearing a mask has a 4: 1 odds, but who would bet on him! "
"Don't mention it.
Yesterday, I bet on the Wolf Emperor. In the end, the Wolf Emperor lost, causing me to lose everything.
Today, I'm going all out. I'm betting all my assets on Hercules. If I win, I'll be able to recoup my losses. "
"Gambling can make people go bankrupt. You guys should take it easy."
All sorts of discussions took place in almost every corner of the Major League Sports Center, both inside and outside the stadium.
Today was the day the final four would be decided.
Just as the audience had said, the focus was on Group Two, the fight between the Pharmacist and the Dark Magus, Jiang Yuan.
If Jiang Yuan defeated the Pharmacist, and Hercules defeated Zeus, then the final four would consist of two from the Eastern Alliance, one from the Northern Alliance, and one from the Western Alliance.
The two from the Eastern Alliance didn't belong to Skyfire Avenue. That was something the Major League could accept.
The Terminator sat in his lounge on a large, custom-made chair. Hercules stood in front of him, his face a silvery grey.
"Everything's settled?" The Terminator asked.
Hercules nodded silently. "More or less."
The Terminator's voice was low. "Choosing this path will only make things more difficult in the future. But man can conquer nature. Nothing is impossible."
"I believe in my own choices," Hercules replied.
"Perhaps this breakthrough will cause me to stagnate for a long time, but my training requires absolute confidence.
That's why I can't afford to lose.
I must win, and bring glory to the Northern Alliance.
Perhaps in the coming fights I'll be able to see my own path more clearly.
Don't worry, Professor, I will advance bravely. I will not retreat! "
The Terminator's lips curled into a rare smile. "Well said!
We can't afford to be careless today. Qi Mu lost yesterday because of his carelessness.
That Zeus isn't a simple character. He must be Jueti's descendant.
His cultivation isn't what it looks like on the surface.
I don't see any signs of Jueti's Prajna either.
But be careful, don't be conservative. "
"Yes, Professor!"
Lan Jue was the last to arrive in the waiting area. By the time he arrived, everyone else was already seated.
Xuanyuan Shishi smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up, as if to encourage him, but also as if to praise him.
Jun Yongye sat there with his eyes closed, a calm expression on his face.
The Driver, who'd lost two fights in a row, looked relaxed. He even wore a faint smile on his face.
It was almost as if he'd forgotten that his opponent was the White Blademaster.
"You've kept your composure!" The Pharmacist smiled.
Lan Jue chuckled. "No matter what happens, I have to face it. I'm not a high school kid anymore, I can't be impatient."
The Pharmacist laughed. "What?
Bad memories from high school? "
Lan Jue shook his head. "How could that be? I just miss my youth. If I could go back, I'd be happy to be impatient again."
The Pharmacist paused. Her eyes flashed with a look of reminiscence. "Yes!
If only we could go back. "
Lan Jue patted her shoulder apologetically and sat down beside her.
At this moment, he looked at the opponent he was about to face.
When he saw Titan's steel-grey face, he immediately realized that his feeling the day before was not wrong. This disciple of the Terminator had indeed changed.
But what of it?
When those words entered Lan Jue's mind, his aura changed. An indescribable arrogance burst forth from him.
Everyone present was strong, and the change in Lan Jue's aura drew everyone's attention.
Xuanyuan Shishi was a little surprised. Jun Yongye opened his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Shishi thoughtfully, as if thinking about something.
Titan's eyes narrowed, and his aura grew thicker.
Everyone else looked at Lan Jue with curious eyes.
At the very least, they could feel that this God King Zeus had no intention of giving up. He clearly wanted to go all out in this battle with Hercules.
In the stands.
"Sis, did we really just bet?
That's over three billion!
I've never spent that much money before. "The woman in the silver sweater spoke to the woman beside her.
"Now that's exciting!
Think about it, today's odds are more than four times. If we win, we'll be the first to win.
Heh heh.
That's over ten billion.
After we placed our bets, the odds dropped by half.
The next people will only get three times as much. "
"Win, we have to win!"
On the VIP platform.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to ask you again. Which of the matches are you most interested in today?" Mo Xiao asked the Terminator with a smile.
The Terminator smiled back. "There are two matches I'm interested in today."
"Two?
The two fights for Group One and Group Two? "Mo Xiao asked.
The Terminator nodded.
Mo Xiao asked, "So you don't think Titan will be able to emerge victorious from the first group?"
The Terminator chuckled. "At least there will be some twists and turns.
I hope they'll put on a good show.
Winning or losing isn't the most important aspect of this tournament.
What we hope more is that these outstanding talents of the current era can break through and improve themselves through this competition.
At the same time, we want other Adepts to follow their example and work hard to become strong as soon as possible.
With the advent of interstellar migration, the development of the human body has become a priority.
If one day humanity wishes to dominate the universe, then we must first become the strongest species. "
Mo Xiao nodded her head in agreement. Inwardly, she was surprised that the Paragon had become more talkative.
The Gourmet sat on the other side of the Terminator with a thoughtful smile on his face.
Jun 'er lifted her head to look at him. "Uncle Gourmet," she said in a low voice. "Why do you have such a sinister smile?"
"Ahem!" The Gourmet's face froze, and he coughed to hide his embarrassment.
The Terminator glanced in their direction, his eyes calm. Then he turned his attention back to the ring.
"The holographic projection and the audience.
I'm sure you've all heard the Terminator's words.
The next match would be one of the two that the Terminator had his eyes on. Hercules from the first group would face off against Zeus the God of Gods.
The winner of this match will advance to the semi-finals of the first group.
Now, let's welcome the two competitors to the ring and prepare for the match. "
In the waiting area, Titan slowly rose to his feet. He looked like a mountain bursting from the earth, and the pressure he exuded was suffocating.
He looked in Lan Jue's direction for a moment, then made his way to the ring.
Lan Jue rose to her feet as well. She adjusted the golden mask on her face to make it more stable, then strode toward the ring.
For him, the most important match of the tournament was about to begin.
He was about to face the Paragon's most successful test subject, the Terminator's disciple.
