Ye Futian looked at the platform and said, "I want to know everyone's cultivation level."
"Sure," the elder said. "You can tell them yourselves."
Immediately, the eight on the platform reported their cultivation levels.
Li Futu and his wife were a Grade One Noble and a Grade Two Noble.
Yu Ming was a Grade One Noble.
Di Zhou was a Grade Three Noble.
Xie Ji, Yan Jiu, Nan Hao, and Bing Yi had all participated in the battle at the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace three years ago. Ye Futian knew a little about them.
"Li Futu is from the Fire Emperor Palace and is extremely powerful. In the Alchemy City region, only Di Gang's reputation can surpass his. Yu Ming is a top-notch armorer who specializes in matrices, so you have to be careful. Li Futu's wife is Xiang Zhiqin's sister, and Di Zhou is Di Gang's younger brother. Even though he is only a Grade Three Noble, he is still quite powerful."
Zhong Li introduced the group to Ye Futian. "There are two Grade One Nobles on the platform and we only have one Grade One Noble. Moreover, there's only Xu Que in the Grade Two Noble Plane. The others are Grade Three and Grade Four Nobles. We're at too much of a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level. I'd like to borrow someone. How about that?"
"Borrow who?" the elder asked.
"Huang Jiuge," Ye Futian said. His gaze landed on Huang Jiuge and he smiled. "You're already here at the Alchemy Casino. Aren't you interested?"
Huang Jiuge had a strange look on his face. He was surprised that Ye Futian would invite him to fight alongside him. Looking at the people on the battle platform, he was eager to try as well. He said, "Alright, I'll fight with you. However, you'll be responsible for the wager. Victory or defeat is all on you."
"Of course. If you still want the spoils, I won't ask you." Ye Futian smiled brightly. Huang Jiuge was speechless. Was this guy really that shameless?
"What about the others?" the elder asked again.
"Me, Yu Sheng, Xu Que, Huang Jiuge, Yun Shuisheng, Yuan Zhan, Yi Xiaoshi, and Phoenix," Ye Futian said. Ye Futian said, "One Grade One Noble, two Grade Two Nobles, three Grade Three Nobles, and two Grade Four Nobles."
"Do you have any objections?" The old man looked at the people on the gambling battle platform and asked.
"No," Li Futu replied indifferently.
"Sure." Yu Ming also nodded. The others had no objections.
Li Futu and Yu Ming, two Grade One Nobles, had an extremely strong advantage. Li Futu's combat ability was needless to say. Yu Ming was also a master of matrices, and Xiang Zhiyan was also very powerful. Together with Di Zhou and the other four, they thought that their lineup of eight people was strong enough.
"It's settled then. I'll give everyone two hours to come up with a strategy. After two hours, the battle will begin. The victor can take away all the immortal treasures." The old man smiled. Many people snorted. Giving them time to come up with a strategy?
It was time for the gambling house to place bets.
However, he was really looking forward to this battle.
Of the 16 people, one side was made up of top geniuses from various forces, while the other side was made up of seven disciples from the Holy Zhi Palace and Huang Jiuge from the Sovereign Family.
A group battle of this level was enough to excite everyone.
Who would win this battle?
The elder walked to the side and discussed something with a few people. This was a group battle and was extremely complicated. They had to think carefully about how to open the bets.
From the looks of it, Li Futu's group was obviously stronger. They had the advantage in terms of cultivation level. The two most talented people on the Holy Zhi Palace's side were Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, but they were only Grade Four Nobles. However, their combat ability naturally could not be calculated as Grade Four Nobles.
Huang Jiuge, Xu Que, Yuan Zhan, Yi Xiaoshi, and Phoenix could be compared to Di Zhou, Yan Jiu, Xie Ji, Nan Hao, and Bing Yi. The former should be stronger, but the latter should not be too far off. If Xiang Zhiyan was added, it would be enough to make up for it.
That left Li Futu, Yu Ming, Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Yun Shuisheng. Li Futu's combat ability should be above Yun Shuisheng's. After all, Yun Shuisheng was not that famous in the Holy Zhi Palace. Yu Ming was a master of matrices. Other than his own combat ability, he deliberately set up matrices to increase the combat ability of the entire camp. This directly made up for the disadvantage of Di Zhou, Yan Jiu, and the others, and even became an advantage.
Hence, on the whole, Li Futu's side should be stronger.
It all depended on how the bets would be opened.
Soon, the betting odds were out. The gambling house opened it with a one to one ratio.
The entire gambling house was in an uproar. Countless people flocked to place their bets. Although the elder in charge of the betting house was there, people kept coming to report the situation without a moment's pause. No one knew how many experts had come for the battle today, and the bets would be shocking. He deliberately set aside two hours for betting.
"Eighty percent of the bets are on Li Futu's side. If Li Futu's side wins, they will suffer a huge loss."
The elder frowned. The opening of the betting house was to see how the situation would turn out. As expected, because the Holy Zhi Palace's two most talented people had the lowest cultivation level, only Grade Four Noble, it did not look good for most people, especially Li Futu and Yu Ming, who were well-known in the Alchemy City region.
Under such circumstances, the gambling house had to weigh the pros and cons. If they thought that Ye Futian's side would definitely win, then it was worth betting on. However, he did not think that Ye Futian's side would win either. This was different from the battle between Yu Sheng and Yan Jiu.
"Adjust the odds." The elder made a prompt decision.
Soon, the news spread that the odds had been adjusted. Li Futu's side was now two to one, while Ye Futian's side was one to two. It was obvious that the odds favored Li Futu's side.
"These b * stards."
Those who did not place their bets in time cursed. They had wanted to place their bets, but they did not expect the odds to change so quickly. Moreover, it was already two to one.
"The Alchemy Casino's odds favor Li Futu's side as well. It seems that most people are betting on them. Even at two to one," many people thought to themselves and continued to place their bets.
After Li Futu's side found out about the odds, their expressions were indifferent. This was expected.
Ye Futian's side, on the other hand, had a strange expression. It seemed that most people thought that they would lose.
Time passed slowly, and the news continued to reach the elder's ears.
Soon, the odds changed again. Li Futu's side was now four to one, while Ye Futian's side was one to four.
"B * stards, I'm not betting anymore," someone cursed. Four to one was meaningless. The gains were too small.
"Why not?" A voice asked. The person who spoke raised his head and saw a handsome young man smiling at him. It was Ye Futian.
"One to four, you can bet on us." Ye Futian smiled. Then, he looked at the elder on the spectator stand and said, "Senior, can we place our own bets?"
"You can only bet on yourselves to win," the elder said. This was to prevent people from deliberately losing. However, such a situation would not usually happen with Ye Futian's side.
In principle, those who participated in the gamble were not allowed to place their own bets. However, it was unavoidable for others to place their bets behind their backs. Hence, the Alchemy Casino would monitor and judge for intentional losses. If they were discovered, they would not be able to walk out of the casino alive.
"Yu Sheng, Seventh Brother, don't you all have ritual implements? Here's your chance," Ye Futian said with a smile. Ye Futian said with a smile. With a compensation of four to one, it seemed that they would be able to fully equip their ritual implements on this trip.
Alchemy City is a good place, Ye Futian thought to himself.
"If that's the case, I'll participate too," Huang Jiuge said with a smile.
"When you were distributing the ritual implements, didn't you consider me?" Xu Que smiled at Ye Futian.
"You're from Tingxue House, after all. Do you think you'll lack ritual implements?" Ye Futian said with disdain.
"Then why did you let me fight?" Xu Que saw Ye Futian speak with a straight face.
"It's such a rare opportunity to fight. I'm doing this for your sake. Besides, can't we place our bets now?" Ye Futian said righteously.
"…"
Xu Que was speechless. Indeed, he could not reason with shameless people.
He could only take out his own treasures to place his bet.
"Does anyone have anything good to place a bet? Can I borrow it?" Ye Futian looked at the people around him.
"…" Yun Shuisheng glared at Ye Futian. Her opinion of Ye Futian had changed a little, but now it was back to the first time they met. Shameless.
"I'll lend this to you." A gentle voice was heard. An extremely dazzling flame burst beside Ye Futian, and the cry of a phoenix could be heard. A terrifying aura was released, and countless eyes gathered in one direction, looking at Phoenix.
At that moment, Phoenix was bathed in the dazzling phoenix feather robe, which blended perfectly with her body. She flew out bit by bit and into a storage ring, which Phoenix handed to Ye Futian.
"Sister," Yun Shuisheng shouted, "aren't you afraid that he'll pay for your treasures?"
"Isn't the payout one to four? If he loses, it'll be on me. If he wins, I'll get a share," Phoenix said with a chuckle.
"Thank you." Ye Futian nodded, then looked at the elder and asked, "What about this ritual implement?"
"You can pick any four of the Alchemy Casino's ritual implements," the elder said.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded. The force behind the Alchemy Casino was definitely wealthy beyond imagination. Alchemy City was definitely the wealthiest place in the Barren State.
Everyone around was watching. Seeing how confident Ye Futian's group was, betting all the treasures they had on them, many people could not help but feel a little shaken.
I'll bet on them winning, many people thought to themselves as they continued to place their bets.
Two hours passed quickly. The elder nodded after listening to the final report. After changing the payout twice, the situation had finally reversed. Now, with all the bets, if Li Futu's group won, the Alchemy Casino would earn a lot, but if Ye Futian's group won, the casino would lose a lot.
Clearly, the Alchemy Casino had high hopes for Li Futu's group.
The Alchemy Casino knew a little about Li Futu and Yu Ming's strength. Moreover, Di Zhou's strength was also very strong.
There was no reason for Li Futu's group to lose in this majestic battle.
"Everyone, please." The elder looked at the two sides. Immediately, Li Futu's group stepped onto the battle platform.
Ye Futian's group also flashed and landed on the platform.
The group of 16 people, the monstrous geniuses from the Holy Zhi Palace against the geniuses from all over the world.
Everyone took their positions in an instant. Li Futu, Yan Jiu, Nan Hao, and Di Zhou were at the front, in charge of offense. Bing Yi, Xie Ji, and Xiang Zhiyan were in the middle, in charge of sorcery. Yu Ming was at the back, in charge of matrixes.
