Compared to the previous Challenge Competitions, the number of players paying attention to the Eight City Sword Among Cities Challenge had risen from 75% to 85%, an increase of 10%. This was the highest number of players paying attention to the Eight City Sword Among Cities Challenge Competition, and the number of players paying attention to the Eight City Sword Among Cities Challenge Competition had increased by 2%. Once again, the Eight City Sword Among Cities Challenge Competition had created a record that only Commanders could achieve.
There was another reason why it could break the historical record. Before the competition, a piece of news had spread like wildfire. That was, the odds of Guhan defeating the number one person in Spirit Sword Level had suddenly dropped from 1: 140,000 to 1: 399.
What did this mean?
It meant that a guy who was not afraid of death had spent a lot of money to bet that the Military Governor could defeat the number one person in Spirit Sword Level, which directly lowered the odds of this option to 390 times!
Later, there was a nouveau riche and mathematical god who had bet 100,000 RMB on the option that Guhan could defeat the number one person in Spirit Sword Level. After finding out that the odds had been reduced to 1: 389.5, he wrote a very complicated formula. In the end, it was determined that the betting amount was around 60 to 80 million RMB. If this person could win the bet, he would get about 24 billion RMB, which was almost an astronomical figure!
This news swept through the entire forum like a whirlwind. Everyone was discussing this matter. The goal of their discussion was who the nouveau riche was and whether he had broken his head!
In the end, it slowly changed to whether the Military Governor could defeat the number one person in Spirit Sword Level!
In the beginning, naturally, no one believed that the Military Governor could defeat the number one person in Spirit Sword Level, because this was simply impossible. That year, Gu Jin Zheng couldn't even defeat the last person in Spirit Sword Level, let alone the number one person in Spirit Sword Level.
However, this nouveau riche actually dared to spend so much money on this option. Did he receive some inside information?
Could it be that the strength of the Military Governor was really that strong?
Well, although most people felt that this was nonsense and impossible, some people's brains suddenly went haywire. They felt that it was better to take a gamble than the odds of a few tenths. If they won, they would earn more than three hundred times the income!
As a result, after this news spread, the odds of Guhan being able to get first place in the Spirit Sword Tier Competition slowly decreased again, and finally reduced to 1: 231.
This meant that at least 40 million RMB had been spent on this option … This made Guhan, who was sitting in the players' preparation room, not know whether to laugh or cry. In the blink of an eye, his odds had decreased by more than 100. What a huge loss!
However, when he thought about the attributes of the Juzi Sword, Guhan's eyes flashed with an unfathomable light. Then, he opened the lottery interface again and fiddled with it.
…
The first challenge was for the number one person in Ancient Sword Level. This Ancient Sword Level player with the Yi Xian Sword stood happily on the arena with the host. After some boring pleasantries, they finally entered the main topic of the challenge.
The host smiled and asked Wei Ying, the number one sword-wielding player in Ancient Sword Level, "Hello Wei Ying, how many Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution would you like to put into the bet?"
The 1000 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution in Wei Ying's hand had been divided into five bottles containing 200 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution.
If Wei Ying put in 100 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution, then his opponent would be a player in Treasure Sword Level who also received 100 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution as a reward … According to the different rewards, the reward for the Treasure Sword Level players who were eliminated in the first round of the semi-finals was 100 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution.
If Wei Ying put in all 1,000 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution, then he would directly fight against the top 64 Treasure Sword Level players, because the reward they received was 1,000 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution!
Without a doubt, the less Sword Element Oral Solution Wei Ying used, the higher his chances of winning. However, there was another rule in the Challenge Tournament, and that was that there were only three chances to challenge someone at each level. The Sword Element Oral Solution Wei Ying used for the second challenge would be the accumulated reward from the previous challenge!
What did this mean?
For example, if Wei Ying put in 100 Quarks of Sword Element for the first time and won the first round, then Wei Ying could only challenge a Treasure Sword Level player who received 200 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution as a reward. The third challenge would be against a player who put in 400 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution.
After the three times, Wei Ying's challenge would also end, because he only had three chances in each group. If he could not defeat the first player in the group, which was the Military Governor, then he could not challenge the players in the Famed Sword Group!
Even if Wei Ying won all the challenges, he would at most receive 800 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution as a reward … 100 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution was Wei Ying's capital, so the actual reward was not much.
To put it simply, the more Sword Element he put in the first bet, the higher the possibility of winning more rewards.
But at the same time, the more he put in, the stronger the opponent Wei Ying would face!
This also reflected the challenger's confidence. If the challenger's first investment was too small, only 100 quarks, then there was no doubt that he had the least confidence in this game, and the audience would look down on him the most.
But at the same time, if he directly threw in all 1,000 Quarks, the audience would think that this guy was too arrogant.
Every time the challenge came to this point, it was always the time when the challenger hesitated. Similarly, all the audience was very curious about the number one Ancient Sword Level player, to see how big his mind was!
"I'll put in this much!"
After hesitating for a minute, Wei Ying finally made up his mind. He took out five out of the ten bottles of Sword Element Oral Solution and put them in the hands of the host!
"Oh!
500 Quarks of Sword Element Oral Solution. Then your first opponent will be in the top 256 of the semi-finals!
The second round will be the top 64!
The third round will be against one of the top 16! "
The host quickly calculated all of Wei Ying's opponents for the third round. Immediately, the audience cheered in unison. This number one Ancient Sword Level player was quite brave. He actually dared to compete with a top 16 Sword Level player!
Among all the ancient sword rank number ones in history, this could be considered the most courageous!
However, the host did not seem to want to let Wei Ying go just like that. He bumped Wei Ying's shoulder and asked teasingly, "Wei Ying, why don't you just put in 700 Quarks of Sword Element?
That way, you'll be able to compete with Mr. Military Governor! "
"When I become a Sword Level sword wielder, I'll naturally challenge Mr. Military Governor. But for now, I definitely can't beat Mr. Military Governor!"
Wei Ying chuckled. Only an idiot would compete with a freak like the Military Governor. His Sword Element Oral Solution was not easy to come by, and he could not let it go to waste!
"Mr. Wei Ying, you're really honest!
Then, please look at the big screen. Who will Mr. Wei Ying's first opponent be? "
The host waved his hand, and a completely sealed lottery box appeared in front of Wei Ying. It contained the player ranked 129th in the Sword Level.
Since only the top 8 had to go through extra rounds to determine their actual rankings, the players were ranked 9th, 17th, 33rd, 65th, 129th, 257th, and 513th before the top 8. Wei Ying would have to challenge all the players ranked 129th.
Finally, after fumbling around for a while, Wei Ying pulled out a piece of paper with a number on it.
"Contestant number: 58475624. He wants us to contact this player now and see if he's willing to fight Mr. Wei Ying!"
Although Wei Ying was willing to fight, the player who was picked might not necessarily be willing. Therefore, this required the other party's approval. If the other party did not agree, then they would have to draw again!
A few seconds later, this lucky player's communication was connected.
"Hello, Mr. Player, I'm the host of the challenge —"
"I know, I'm watching the live broadcast!"
Before the host could explain, he was interrupted by the other player. The player continued, "I'm telling you, I don't want to be challenged. Don't ask me!"
After saying that, the call was hung up. This was a very normal thing to do. They had watched the first ancient sword level competition and had a general estimate of the strength of both sides. Those who were not confident would not dare to accept the other party's challenge. 500 Quarks of Sword Essence would take at least 10 days to half a month. It would be a waste to waste it like this!
Therefore, after Wei Ying was rejected three times in one go, the fourth player who was picked was finally willing to fight Wei Ying!
Since this player dared to accept the challenge of the number one ancient sword level player, he naturally had some skill.
His Swordmistress was ranked 18th in the "Swordmistress Record", the Gentleman Sword. It was also an extremely powerful Swordmistress. Unfortunately, his opponent in the top 256 had met the good people of the Land of Fantasy. Naturally, the second place of the Swordmistress group could only be defeated!
In terms of real strength, this player might even have the strength to enter the top 64!
Because of his hatred and the fact that he was provoked by an ancient sword level player, this player did not hesitate when he attacked. He did not have the slightest thought of taking care of a child.
Although the Graceful Celestial Sword was quite durable and could still summon six long-range support firepower, Wei Ying was in an absolute struggle against the Gentleman Sword that was going all out.
However, one had to admit that Wei Ying's strength was quite impressive. After 20 minutes of fierce battle and various outstanding strategies, he finally seized an opportunity and used the Graceful Celestial Sword's Revolutionary Spirit to grind the Gentleman Sword to death.
However, after the Gentleman Sword's Personal Armor Shield was broken, the Graceful Celestial Sword's Personal Armor Shield was only left with less than 3%, and it was almost defeated by the opponent.
After pocketing the reward of 10 bottles of 1,000 Quarks, the host once again appeared beside the exhausted Wei Ying and temptingly encouraged Wei Ying to carry on with the next battle!
However, after realizing that even the 129th place player could almost defeat him, Wei Ying did not have the courage to continue challenging the 33rd place player. He decisively bowed to the host to thank him and left the stage.
Such cowardly behavior caused the audience to hiss in unison.
"Dear audience, please take care of your throats, because our Military Governor is about to begin his journey of challenge!" the host said excitedly. The audience immediately let out a tsunami of cheers.
