Some lists included all of the Ten Arbiters and were called the Top Ten. Others included the Tearing Girl, Quiet Weep, and Autumn Shi. There were even some lists that kicked Lu Yin out, with the reason being that no matter how talented a Hunter was, it was impossible for him to stand out among so many Enlighter geniuses.
They believed that Lu Yin had only been able to defeat the Ten Arbiters because none of them had broken through. The Supreme Tournament was about to begin, and anyone who could break through would do so. Lu Yin had just become a Hunter, so it was obviously impossible for him to break through to the Enlighter realm.
It had to be said that many people believed this explanation.
Of course, Lu Yin was not the only one who had been kicked out. Almost all of the Ten Arbiters had been kicked out of that list. Even Neoverse's Quiet Weep and Feather Mavis had been kicked out, leaving only the Prime Clear and Xia Jiuyou. One had Three Yangs Ancestral Qi, while the other had Nine Clones Technique. There was also someone who had unexpectedly been named one of the top ten seeds: Starsibyl, who had also cultivated the Nine Clones Technique.
There were all sorts of lists, and it was possible to find hundreds or even thousands of rankings at once.
However, no matter which list it was, Lu Yin's ranking was not high because he was only a Hunter. Even though his battle results were brilliant and he had been recognized as the Pass Master by the Hall of Honor, his realm was still his shortcoming.
The ones who were the angriest about these lists were not Lu Yin, but rather Ku Wei and Elder Tan. The former was constantly praising Lu Yin and thinking of ways to slander the people who had made these lists, making Lu Yin seem invincible in the universe. The latter had people crazily singing Lu Yin's praises on the internet.
The appearance of these lists was like a slap to their faces, and they were so angry that they wanted to find the people who had made these lists.
Ku Wei walked over to Lu Yin and scolded the people who had made these lists in a cynical manner.
"Seventh Bro, those stupid mortals don't understand how strong you are. They actually put you below Xia Jiuyou and Wu Taibai. What a joke! How can a beast like the Stardevourer be ranked above you? It's an insult to the Great Eastern Alliance!"
Ku Wei roared. Lu Yin flipped through the different lists. Indeed, although he was listed as one of the top ten seeds in most of the lists, he was not one of the top seeds.
Almost all of the Prime Clear's were the strongest seeds. Next to the Prime Clear's were Wu Taibai, Bu Kong, Zhi Yi, Xia Jiuyou, and the others. Every name list was different, but they all provided sufficient evidence.
Being able to become one of the top ten seeds amongst the countless geniuses of the same generation in the universe was already a great achievement, and even the Ten Arbiters would find it difficult to achieve such a feat. However, this was not an exaggeration based on Lu Yin's battle records. It was a pity that his public image had always been based on external factors. The only glorious battle records that he could bring out were his victories over Lan Si and Nightking Zhenwu, but these two achievements were not enough for him to be recognized by everyone.
At the very least, he had only been a spectator in the battle at the Xinyu Eternal Mountain and Sea Realm.
"With Seventh Brother's strength, even if you don't take first place, you'll definitely be in the top ten. Seventh Brother, Little Wei, I've already mobilized a lot of our people to bet that you'll definitely enter the top ten. The odds are 1 to 2, which is quite high. Don't worry, Little Wei will definitely support you," Ku Wei said resolutely.
Lu Yin had been looking at the list, but when he heard Ku Wei's words, he was stunned. An idea flashed through his mind, and he looked at Ku Wei with a burning gaze. "Let me see the odds."
Ku Wei was put in a difficult position. "Seventh Bro, don't look at it. I'm angry."
"Cut the crap. Give it to me," Lu Yin said.
Ku Wei opened the network, and there was a dense list of names that corresponded to various regions. Just the Outerverse alone had seventy-two regions, which corresponded to seventy-two weaves, as well as the Innerverse, Cosmic Sea, Neoverse, and so on.
"This banker has listed almost all of the famous powerhouses of the younger generation. For example, Seventh Bro, you're listed there. The odds are 1 to 2 if you enter the top ten, 1 to 5 if you enter the top five, 1 to 10 if you enter the top three, and 1 to 20 if you take first place. Right, this is Lan Si …" Ku Wei introduced Lan Si to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was shocked. To be able to list so many names and even open up the betting odds, this person must be quite powerful!
"Do you know who the banker is?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei shook his head. "I don't know. Nobody knows. I've heard that it's an important figure in the Cosmic Sea, and some say that it's run by the Mavis family. Otherwise, how could there be such a large betting pool? Anyway, there are many theories."
Lu Yin's eyes burned with passion. How much money would it take to include the Innerverse and Outerverse bets?
Even with his current wealth, he couldn't afford it. Just who was behind this?
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yin shook his head. He didn't care who it was. Since this person was able to place bets and looked down on Lu Yin, then he might as well play. Lu Yin then asked Ku Wei, "Do you want to make some money?"
Ku Wei was stunned and a little confused, but he subconsciously nodded. This was something that Lu Yin had said, and it had already become a habit for him.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Let's place a bet as well. Make it a bit bigger and bet that I'll enter the top three." He wanted to bet on taking first place, but it was better to play it safe.
Ku Wei pursed his lips. Although he had been wildly praising Lu Yin, that did not mean that he was certain that Lu Yin would enter the top three. He had originally only wanted to invest in Lu Yin to show his support, but now it seemed that he would need to invest quite a bit.
"Spread the news that I suffered some internal injuries during the battle in the Blaze Realm and that I'll need at least two years of treatment," Lu Yin said.
Ku Wei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Yin with admiration. "Seventh Bro, you're brilliant! You're really brilliant! This way, your odds will definitely skyrocket, and we'll bet on you entering the top ten. We'll definitely make a huge profit. Seventh Bro, you're just too brilliant! Your intelligence is unparalleled throughout the entire universe. This …"
"Alright, it's not the top ten, it's the top three," Lu Yin said.
Ku Wei hesitated. "Um, Seventh Bro, the top ten is actually quite safe. How about the top three?"
"Are you doubting me?" Lu Yin glanced at him.
Ku Wei immediately replied firmly, "Of course not! Little Wei's admiration for you is like the endless river of stars in the universe. It's also like an overflowing black hole that can't be stopped. Little Wei will spread the news right now and definitely raise your odds to the highest."
Spreading the news was a technical job, and one could not let others know that they were intentionally spreading the news.
Ku Wei had some experience in this aspect, as he had often done this when he had been roaming the universe alone.
Not long after, a secret piece of news regarding Lu Yin's injuries spread through a very special channel that was extremely accurate.
Of course, not many people actually believed it, especially the bankers behind the scenes. None of them were stupid.
In order to cooperate with Ku Wei, Lu Yin had specially left the Blaze Realm and headed to the Outerverse's Southern Weave to look for Master Yuan. His journey was a secret, as he had previously announced that he was going into seclusion to cultivate.
When Lu Yin's itinerary was leaked again, many people believed it and assumed that he was going to seek Master Yuan's help.
Ku Wei kept an eye on the biggest bets, hoping to see if the odds would change.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed, as the biggest bets remained unchanged. The odds were the same as before.
Lu Yin felt rather helpless when he heard the news, as the bankers behind the scenes had definitely not only set up bets this once, and they had long since seen through all sorts of schemes. Even if Lu Yin was faking it, and even if it was true, they would not change the odds. The risk was too great, unless Lu Yin had been injured by them.
"Seventh Bro, these fellows are too cowardly. The odds for you entering the top three are still one to ten," Ku Wei said helplessly.
Lu Yin replied, "If it's one to ten, then so be it. Place your bets in batches and at different times. The total amount of bets is 100 million star essence."
Ku Wei was speechless, as this was basically forcing Lu Yin into a dead end. Seventh Bro was doing this because he was very confident in entering the top three. If he succeeded, then Lu Yin would have to compensate him with a billion star essence, which made his scalp go numb.
However, if they were able to set up such a large bet, then they should be able to take out a billion star essence. Which of the great powers in the Innerverse did not have a billion star essence?
Although they would definitely suffer some losses, Lu Yin did not care.
Lu Yin's background made it so that even the great powers of the Neoverse could not renege on their bets.
It was as if Lu Yin could see the scene of a billion star essence covering the sky.
It was not that Lu Yin did not want to invest all of his resources, but there was still some time before the Sovereign Tournament. Even if the time was short, he still wanted to save some resources just in case.
Within the spacecraft, Lu Yin looked at his star chart and soon arrived at the Southern Weave.
Although he was just playing along with Ku Wei's act, since he was already in the Southern Weave, it was better to greet Master Yuan.
The Southern Weave was a border weave that was completely sealed off, and ordinary people could not enter.
As the commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces in name, Lu Yin naturally had the qualifications to enter and even patrol the area.
The moment Lu Yin entered the Southern Weave, Elder Big Drum immediately knew about it and felt a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought about the rumors he had heard about Lu Yin some time ago, he felt some anticipation and hurriedly went to find Lu Yin.
"Long time no see, Elder." Lu Yin smiled.
Elder Big Drum smiled. "Isn't Alliance Master Lu in seclusion?
Why are you in the mood to come to my border area? "
"As the commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces, I can't just leave everything to Elder Big Drum." Lu Yin smiled.
When he heard the words "commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces," Elder Big Drum had a bad premonition.
"Right, Elder, I've been the commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces for so long, but I don't think the Allied Forces have given me a salary." Lu Yin smiled.
Elder Big Drum pursed his lips and laughed dryly. "Alliance Master Lu, please discuss this with Master Yuan. You're my superior, and the salary of a superior is not something a subordinate can decide."
Lu Yin obviously did not care about such a small salary, and he was just casually chatting. Of course, it would be even better if there was a salary.
"I'm requesting to see Master Yuan. Please lead the way."
"Alliance Master Lu, please."
"Please."
On the way to Master Yuan's residence, Lu Yin casually chatted with Elder Big Drum, mainly because Elder Big Drum wanted to know about Lu Yin's situation in the Glory Realm. Lu Yin naturally understood, but he did not exaggerate and simply told the truth.
Elder Big Drum sighed. "You have no problems cultivating death energy. Alliance Master Lu is really highly regarded."
Lu Yin smiled. "It's all thanks to the Head Judge and Elder Chan. Besides, I have no problems cultivating death energy."
