"Hua!"
The moment a bet was placed on the City Lord's Mansion to win, the entire audience went into an uproar. They clearly did not expect that someone would actually bet on the City Lord's Mansion to win and that someone would actually bet a million High Grade Spirit Stones.
"Sir, are you sure?" The boss of the gambling house gulped and said with greed in his eyes. One million High Grade Spirit Stones, this amount was an enormous sum for a person to have in a city like the Blue Wind City. This was definitely a large amount of income.
"Alright, sir." The boss of the gambling house quickly put away the spirit stones and signalled the waiter to record the money.
As far as he was concerned, this middle-aged scholar was giving him money.
Without a doubt, the Bai Family which had the support of Snow Cold Palace, was obviously the most powerful competitor this time and even had a ninety-nine percent chance of obtaining a victory.
The few disciples participating in the competition from the Bai Family were all disciples of Snow Cold Palace and three disciples had already broken through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
How could Feng Wuji trust Ye Xiao so much?
"City Lord, it is better if you announce it."
Mo Li and Mu Yi looked at each other for a moment before speaking to Feng Wuji at the same time. Although they were from the Blue Wind City's three great families and the Bai Family was a giant existence, but this Blue Wind City's nominal big boss was still City Lord Feng Wuji.
In the past, it had always been announced by Feng Wuji that the competition would begin.
After looking at the crowd, Feng Wuji smiled and then said in a clear voice: "Today is the competition for the Nature's Chakra that occurs once every three years, and at the same time, it is also the days of the young generation of Blue Wind City displaying their elegance. However, I will first announce something, if anyone dares to disturb us today, don't blame me for being rude."
As Feng Wuji finished speaking, he intentionally swept his eyes over the people of the Bai Family. Bai Ming noticed Feng Wuji's gaze and snorted coldly.
"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Let's have the young geniuses of our Blue Wind City enter the stage. " After Feng Wuji finished speaking, he sat down and nodded to the other heads. Afterwards, the young talents of the four noble families started to walk towards the arena.
At the same time, Ye Xiao also lightly stepped onto the stage.
This time, there were 17 people on the stage. The Mo family and the Mu Family sent four people while the City Lord's Mansion sent eight people. The City Lord's Mansion only sent one person, Ye Xiao.
"I believe that everyone is clear about the rules of the Competition for the Nature's Chakra, so I won't say much." An old man walked onto the stage and swept his gaze across the three great clans. Afterwards, his gaze landed on the seventeen young talents on the platform.
The old man's name was Wu Xiu and he did not belong to any of the three great families, nor did he belong to the City Lord's Mansion. So, he was chosen as the referee of this competition.
This old man usually looked amiable but the older generation all knew that this guy was definitely a vengeful person. Ten years ago, there was a large clan within which an expert of the Immortal King Realm was born.
However, who knows how he offended Wu Xiu, in the end, all of the strong martial artists at the Immortal Lord Realm of that clan were killed overnight. Not a single one was left alive. The others also hurriedly ran away. A large clan had turned into ashes overnight. Even that Immortal King Realm expert ran away.
It is said that Wu Xin's strength was unfathomable. Not even the City Lord Feng Wuji could rival Wu Xin in terms of cultivation and strength.
Every year, whenever the competition for the Nature's Chakra was organized, Wu Xin would come on his own to be the referee and no one dares to refuse him, not even the Bai Family.
"Alright, there are lots to decide which one of you is not going to fight." Wu Xiu waved his shrivelled hand and a bamboo stick that he prepared beforehand appeared.
Originally, these bamboo sticks had been useless. However, this time, Ye Xiao's appearance had resulted in an imbalance in numbers. Therefore, they could only draw lots to determine who would be spared from fighting an opponent.
The drawing of lots for the seventeen people quickly finished. A person from the Bai Family directly drew the no-fighting lot and directly advanced to the next round of battles.
"Alright, you can go now." The old man glanced at Ye Xiao and said.
"Yes." After drawing his lot, he returned to the area allocated to the City Lord's Mansion.
For some reason, Ye Xiao could feel a dangerous vibe coming from Wu Jin. Ye Xiao could clearly sense with the help of his Divine Sense that Wu Xin's cultivation was at least at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
With this kind of cultivation base, he could have easily rule over any second level sect like the Snow Cold Palace and the Dragon Immortal Sect but for some reason, he chose to stay in a small city like the Blue Wind City where there was not even a single Immortal King Realm martial artist.
The first battle was between the Mo family's Mo Feng and Bai Family's Bai Hai. The younger disciples of the Mo and Mu Family added up were coincidentally the same as the number of people sent by the Bai Family. Thus, it had almost already become a habit for the Mo and Mu Family families to fight against the Bai family.
"Mo Feng is truly unfortunate. He actually encountered Bai Hai in his first battle. Although his strength is not weak, he can only be eliminated by Bai Hai."
The match had not even started, yet everyone behaved as if they already know who is the winner.
"You can begin."
Wu Xiu said indifferently as he looked at the two young men who remained on the field.
"Haargh!"
Both of them shouted at the same time as their Spirit Energies surged. Fierce attacks were launched towards each other.
After the two sides exchanged about twenty moves, Mo Feng's face became a lot paler as if he could not hold on much longer.
"Ripping Wind, go to hell."
Bai Hai ruthlessly smiled and pressed his palm down on Mo Feng's chest.
BOOM!
"Pfft."
After suffering such a heavy attack, Mo Feng's body flew backwards, landing outside of the arena.
"Bai Family's Bai Hai wins this match." Wu Xiu said expressionlessly.
"Trash!" Bai Hai disdainfully said. He had not even used much strength before Mo Feng was defeated. What he found a bit of a pity was that Mo Feng was actually still alive and was not killed.
In the following battles, most of them ended with Bai Family being the victor. The Mo Family and the Mu Family had only won three of the seven battles, and from this battle, it could be seen how big the gap was between the three great families.
The final battle that followed was between Ye Xiao and the person fighting against Ye Xiao was an old acquaintance of Gu Feng, Mu Rong from the Mu Family. Mu Rong also did not think that his opponent was this pervert. Thinking about how he wanted to attack him back at Floating Fragrance Restaurant, his face twitched.
Ye Xiao was also a bit surprised. How should he put it... Umm, it should be put like this: "Enemy truly has narrow paths!"
Stepping onto the stage, Ye Xiao looked at Mu Rong, who was hesitating and asked, "Are you going to come up or not?"
The meaning behind Ye Xiao's words was clear. You can give up now. If you come up, I don't mind teaching you a lesson.
"I... I forfeit." Mu Rong's face turned red as he said helplessly.
"This round, Ye Xiao wins." A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Xiu's eyes. He glanced at Ye Xiao and announced the winner.
"Wait a minute, City Lord, it doesn't seem right to continue like this. Every time we do this, there will be one contestant who will be spared from battle. Doing this seems to be unfair to the other contestants." After Wu Xiu announced Ye Xiao's victory, Bai Ming stood up and said.
"Oh, then what do you think we should do, Second Elder Bai?" Feng Wuji raised his eyes and asked. However, he secretly sneered in his heart. He was naturally aware of Bai Ming's thoughts.
