Tensei tidied up his storage space. Now that everything was ready, all that was left was to wait for the Hua Family's competition!
The entire Hua Family had fallen into a frenzy. In two days, the Large Competition would decide the path of the younger generation. Whether they would soar to the heavens with the help of the Large Competition, or be mercilessly driven out of the Hua Family to fend for themselves, all depended on the Large Competition!
Close to a thousand Martial Sages gathered in the Hua Family's Sanctuary. Even Tensei had been invited here to discuss the competition in two days.
Although it was a discussion, there was no need for them to do anything. They were all here to bet!
Bet on who would be the champion!
Tensei was speechless as he looked at the crowd in the Sanctuary. Only the Hua Family would think of betting on the competition of the younger generation.
"I bet fifty Spiritual Vein Essences that Hua Ming will be the champion!"
"Nonsense, that kid has already broken through to the Sixth Level Spirit King Realm in two days. He is the best of the younger generation. Who can be compared to him?"
The Hua Family listed the names of more than ten youths with great potential, each with different odds. Tensei was too lazy to look at them as he waited quietly by the side.
"Hehe, aren't you going to join in the fun? Every year at this time, almost all the Martial Sages would gather here. Some would even bet their entire family's fortune. "The Second Elder walked over as his old voice rang in Tensei's ears.
Tensei smiled. A Martial Sage's bet was naturally not ordinary. However, it was nothing in Tensei's eyes. The only thing that was useful was the Spiritual Vein Essences.
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Tensei said.
The Second Elder shook his head and smiled. His old face was full of wrinkles, "The result of this competition is already set. That's why no one dares to be the banker. After all, this is a losing business."
Now that Hua Ming would definitely be the champion, everyone would bet on him. Once he was the champion, no matter how low the odds were, the banker would still lose money.
As he spoke, a powerful aura appeared outside the Sacred Hall. Everyone was so shocked that they immediately fell silent and bowed respectfully toward the outside of the Sacred Hall. "Greetings, Patriarch!"
Tensei narrowed his eyes. The Martial Sages in front of him must have gone through the baptism of the Blood Spiritual Pool. In other words, they were all loyal to the Lord of the Divine Court. This was a good opportunity for him to see how they would react to him.
Hua Beihai walked in from outside the door, only to see everyone bowing even lower, their faces filled with reverence.
However, Hua Beihai didn't give Tensei the chance to observe too much. He calmly opened his mouth and said, "All rise. Is there still no one to be the banker?"
Everyone stood up straight and didn't say a word. If it was in the past, everyone would fight to be the banker. After all, it was a good opportunity to make a lot of money. But this year was different!
Hua Bei Hai shook his head. A smile gradually appeared on his face. "It seems that Hua Ming is indeed the best candidate to obtain first place. He actually made all of you reach an agreement. This is the first time in countless years that this has happened!"
As he spoke, Hua Bei Hai shifted his gaze to Tensei. "You just returned to the family. I don't know your name yet!"
Tensei bowed and said calmly, "Hua Chen."
"En, Hua Chen. Are you interested in being the banker? You can set the odds. "Hua Bei Hai continued. His eyes were filled with ridicule.
Tensei pondered. He had heard Hua Bei Hai's name from his grandfather ten thousand years ago. However, he had never seen him before. Now that Hua Bei Hai said such words, it was obvious that he wanted to make things difficult for Tensei.
Right now, he wasn't sure if he was the Lord of the Divine Court. Tensei had also entered the Blood Spiritual Pool before. In order not to arouse suspicion, he could only force himself to nod. "Since the Patriarch has spoken, I naturally won't dare to disobey."
"Haha, then let's begin. There are only two days left!" As Hua Bei Hai spoke, he continued, "Oh right, I forgot to remind you. If you can't take out the corresponding compensation when the time comes, you will have to find twice the amount of Spirit Vein Essence for the family."
Tensei shrugged. He walked forward and changed the odds on the gambling table. He smiled and said, "Don't worry that I can't take out the compensation. What you all need to worry about is that the stakes aren't high enough!"
Everyone looked at the gambling table. They saw that under Hua Ming's name, there was actually a 1: 1 payout!
The Second Elder's expression changed. "This brat is crazy. With such a payout, he has to pay at least 100,000 Spirit Vein Essence! Does he have that much? "
Hua Bei Hai's expression also became interesting. He coughed dryly and said, "You just returned and might not understand. Our stakes are all Spirit Vein Essence. We only bet on who will be the first. It's not too late for you to change the odds now."
Tensei smiled. "Around 100,000. I can still get it."
Although he said that, Tensei found it funny in his heart. Did he really think that Hua Ming would win for sure?
"1: 1 payout. Hurry up!" Tensei's laughter spread and resounded in the Sacred Hall.
Immediately, more than half of the people actually left the Sacred Hall impatiently. Only a voice was left. "Give me half a day. I will go and take out all the Spirit Veins under my cave abode!"
The corner of Tensei's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that the Original Realm could add a large number of Spirit Veins again!
After half a day, thousands of storage rings were piled up on the gambling table. The total amount of Spirit Vein Essence in them was actually 200,000!
Most of the people present had really taken out all the Spirit Veins. If they lost, their cave abode would no longer be a paradise.
Thinking back to the Divine Court Academy in the God Falling Residence and the Flying Cloud Territory, they used a few hundred Spirit Veins to form a huge Spirit Pool. If these Spirit Vein Essences were placed in the Original Realm, there was no doubt that the Spirit Pool would become a lake!
Looking at the Spirit Vein Essences, Tensei secretly clicked his tongue. The Hua Family had indeed developed well in the past ten thousand years. These Martial Sages in front of him had gathered so many Spirit Vein Essences. However, when the time came, they wouldn't even be able to cry!
"Haha, brother, don't be nervous. It's no big deal if you lose. At most, you'll be exhausted looking for Spirit Veins for the rest of your life." A burly man patted Tensei's shoulder, his face full of pride.
Tensei smiled. With a thought, 13,000 Emperor's Swords appeared above his head. Tensei then said, "Since I'm the banker, let's continue betting. It's not bad to bet on Emperor's Weapons. These should be enough to pay for it."
Although one shouldn't show off one's wealth, there was no need to worry. After the Grand Competition ended, Tensei would cause havoc in the Hua Family!
Looking at the countless Emperor's Weapons floating above Tensei, everyone's eyes lit up again. Who would have thought that Tensei would take out more than 10,000 identical Emperor's Weapons!
At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar again. They didn't care about how Tensei had so many Emperor's Weapons and hurriedly went up to place their bets. They even took out their weapons and armours.
Tensei's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, "Without the Emperor's Weapons, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to stop him, let alone Senior Brother and Wang Yanyu!"
After placing their bets, the Sacred Hall was firmly 'protected' by the crowd. Obviously, they were afraid that Tensei would secretly harm Hua Ming. At this critical moment, they had to ensure Hua Ming's safety in order to win the bet for them.
Tensei didn't care at all. He sat cross-legged in front of the gambling table, quietly waiting for the Grand Competition to begin.
Finally, the melodious sound of the bell rang throughout the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range of the Hua Family. The Grand Competition had begun!
