When the referee announced the end of the competition, no one was able to react.
It was as if they thought it was a joke. The result of Situ Yongwen and Chen Hongyuan fighting for third place was already very dramatic.
However, they didn't expect the battle between Nangong Jue and Ji Tian to be so dramatic. They thought it would be an exciting battle, but they didn't expect it to be a draw.
At first, everyone seemed to think that they had heard wrongly, but when the referee and the two contestants walked down the stage together, everyone came to their senses. It seemed to be true!
A draw! How could it be a draw?
To all the spectators, they more or less had a side they supported. Therefore, they hoped that the side they supported would win. However, it was a draw. They couldn't accept it!
"Oh my god! How could it be a draw? I have already lost half of my assets in the battle between the Situ Family and the Chen Family. Do I have to lose the rest of my assets as well? "Someone in the crowd suddenly wailed.
"Sigh! Am I not the same? Previously, I thought the Situ Family wouldn't fight again. In the end, I bet more than half of my assets. Who knew that the Situ Family would fight again at the last moment? This is so infuriating.
I thought that if I lost this battle, I could still get some money from the Nangong Family. In the end, they made it a draw. Are they trying to kill me? "
At the same time, many people started to complain.
Since the start of the Nine Clans Tournament, there was a bet for almost every first battle. The more famous the person, the bigger the bet.
After the competition, some people made a lot of money, while some unlucky people lost all their assets.
Especially after the unforeseen event that happened to the Situ Clan, many people were optimistic about the Chen Clan. They thought that this bet was a sure win. Therefore, there were many people who bet on the Chen Clan's victory, far exceeding the popularity of the Situ Clan. The betting house almost exploded.
However, who would have thought that the Chen Family would lose in the end?
Therefore, the battle between the Chen Family and the Situ Family caused many people to lose their underwear.
However, there were still some smart people who didn't bet so heavily. They still left some of their chances for the final battle for the championship.
Based on Nangong Jue's previous performance, the majority of the people who bet on the Nangong Nobles would win. However, there were also many people who bet on the Ji Clan. After all, the Ji Clan was the champion of the competition several times, so many people believed that the Ji Clan could also win this time.
However, no matter how everyone bet, no one would bet on a draw. This was because in the history of the Nine Clans Tournament, there had never been a draw in the championship battle.
However, to everyone's surprise, there was actually a draw. Didn't this mean that no matter who they bet on, they would lose everything?
If the gambling house was held elsewhere, everyone might be dissatisfied with the result and even resist.
But here, who would dare to question the result? Even if they were quite dissatisfied with this duel, no one dared to look for trouble.
Whether it was the person who set up the bet or the person who fought, they didn't have the guts to do so.
There were many gambling houses on Gentleman Peak, and some of the bigger gambling houses were held by the aristocratic families. Who would dare to look for trouble with the aristocratic families?
As for the smaller gambling houses, there weren't many people who bet on it, so they didn't lose much. Even the big gamblers didn't dare to object when they lost, so the smaller gambling houses naturally didn't dare to cause trouble. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like slapping the aristocratic families in the face?
Therefore, no matter what the result was, they could only admit defeat!
It was just that the two duels had caused many people to lose so badly that they were heartbroken!
However, they could only blame themselves for being addicted to gambling. If they didn't gamble, they wouldn't have lost their entire family fortune.
With regards to this ending, not only the aristocratic families, even the Nangong Nobles were dissatisfied. However, at that moment, in front of so many people, they couldn't say anything.
After all, they were the hosts of the Nine Clans Tournament. Since Nangong Jue had already agreed to a draw, what else could they say?
However, compared to the Nangong Nobles' dissatisfaction, the people from the Ji Clan had a complicated expression on their faces.
On one hand, they still hoped that the Ji Clan would be able to defeat the Nangong Nobles and become the champion of the tournament again, so that the Ji Clan's reputation among the nine great aristocratic families would be even more deeply rooted.
However, they had seen Nangong Jue's strength before, so they knew that she was indeed very powerful. If Ji Tian were to fight against her, it wouldn't be easy for him to win.
Therefore, on the other hand, they were especially worried that the Ji Clan would lose. Moreover, judging from the strength of the two, Ji Tian was more likely to lose.
If the Ji Clan were to really lose, even if the Ji Clan's reputation wouldn't plummet, it wouldn't be that great. At the very least, the rise of the Nangong Nobles would be unstoppable. They might even think that the Nangong Nobles had a higher chance of becoming the number one aristocratic family.
Therefore, the people of the Ji Clan had complicated feelings about the duel between the two. Although it was very important for the aristocratic families to win this duel, they didn't want to lose.
However, although they were nervous, they didn't expect the duel to end in a draw. This was completely out of their expectations.
However, after seeing such an outcome, they were even a little happy in their hearts.
Although Ji Tian didn't win against Nangong Jue to become the champion, the Ji Clan didn't really lose. The two of them ended in a draw. Didn't that mean that both of them would be the champions?
Although they felt a little regretful that they couldn't be the champion, at least the Ji Clan didn't embarrass themselves. The Ji Clan's reputation and dignity were preserved.
"To the Ji Clan, this might be the best outcome!" An elder of the Ji Clan gently stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Obviously, he was quite satisfied with this outcome.
"Indeed, I didn't expect it to end in a draw. Actually, the Nangong Nobles are very powerful this time. If they were to fight, Tian 'er might not be able to defeat them. Now that we have a draw, at least we didn't lose. This is still an acceptable outcome!" Another elder said.
"That's right. If we were to really fight with Nangong Jue and lose, it wouldn't be worth it." Someone said.
"Yes, Elder Ming is right. Although we can't be the champion, at least we won't be the champion. At least we can protect our position among the nine great aristocratic families!" Another elder nodded and said.
