The next morning, the final round of the Top 16 officially began.
Bets began to pour in as well. Once again, the officials gave out an estimated ranking. However, after the lesson they had learned, most people only used the official estimate as a reference. The odds changed as a result.
Only Fenix was still in first place. His odds were 1: 13, which was the lowest among all the bets.
Li Xiang, Baimiya, and Zhe Yuan were the three from the first district of the Subcontinent. Li Xiang was the highest at sixth, followed by Baimiya at seventh, and Zhe Yuan at twelfth.
Li Xiang's odds had dropped from 1: 1398 to 1: 213. Those who had bet on him to make it to the Top 16 had all made a fortune. Mu Fan, on the other hand, had lost money. Many people had bet on him.
They had been hoping that the other participants would try their best at the revival contest. However, all the participants from Zone 1 had given up, giving Fenix a chance to show off. Fenix, who was expected to be number one but wasn't that famous, had suddenly become a star in everyone's eyes, like a bolt of lightning in the night sky.
He had the blood of both the Dong Ling family and the Ogham family. In the photos, he was a handsome blond young man. All of a sudden, he had become the dream lover of many girls on the seven continents.
It was said that he was a gentle and kind gentleman. Those girls who yearned for a life of nobility would fall head over heels in love with him.
The sixteen pillars of light illuminated the sky. The Origin Form avatar was no different from the real person. Li Xiang stood in the pillar of light. Suddenly, he heard someone laughing next to him.
He turned around. It was Baimiya.
"Do your best. I bet on you." Baimiya waved the Bloodthirsty Ruler in her hand. She felt that she would smash Su Ping's head if she couldn't win.
Li Xiang remembered that Baimiya's odds had dropped as well. They were now at 1: 340. But why did she bet on him?
Speaking of which, she was indeed a gambler.
"You're not investing in yourself?" Li Xiang did not participate in any of the bets. He was not very interested in these things. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too much in his previous life. Most of the major bets were usually held to a dead end by the house. If he wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, he might as well buy a lottery ticket.
"I'm just a loser. Why should I invest? Don't lose. Do you know how much you've made me earn so far? "Baimiya waved her fair fingers excitedly with a mysterious look on her face, like a little money-grubber.
Li Xiang shook his head.
"I've thrown all my belongings to you. I've already earned close to 300 million Blue Astral Coins, and if you win this match, it will probably double. "Baimiya chuckled." But guess how much I'll earn if you take first place? "
"I won't guess." Li Xiang was sweating all over. This woman was crazy. How much money did she have to invest to make the odds double?
"I've calculated. If you make it to the finals, I'll earn close to 1 billion. The key is that I bet 100 million on you at the beginning. Do you understand? Do you remember the odds?" Baimiya counted with her fingers. The number made her breathless.
"1: 1398? One hundred thirty-nine billion and eight hundred million? 1398 Magic Resonance Stones. The maximum wealth of an upper-class family is 10 billion. That's the total wealth of 13 top-class upper-class families! Do you think the bets outside will take your bet??? "
Li Xiang did a simple calculation and felt his blood rush to his head. He could not believe it.
Normally, an upper-class family would have a player-level member who would also have a wealth of 100 billion. In other words, if Baimiya put in a little more effort, she would have the foundation of an upper-class family.
There were tens of millions of families and forces in the Seven Continents. However, most of them were still upper-class families and middle-class families. The commoners, who made up the majority, were negligible.
Who knew how many of these lower-class families and how many generations of people had shed their blood for the sake of such a position in the family …
"There's always someone who can take it. Most importantly, guess who the banker who took my bet this time is?" Baimiya rubbed her nose. 100 million was not a small sum to her. Even if she was the most favored descendant of the fourth branch family, she was not someone who could casually spend hundreds of millions. Many of her assets were accumulated step by step by herself.
This time, it was all on Li Xiang.
This was because she realized that every time she was with Li Xiang, she would earn quite a bit. For example, the Ultimate Trial that had just ended not long ago. Hence, the simple-minded (?) Lady Baimiya might as well just bet on Li Xiang.
Of course, it was mostly because the other party was Fenix.
"Fenix?" Li Xiang darted her a look.
"That's right. This sissy is sure that he can get first place." As soon as Baimiya finished her sentence, golden rain began to fall from the sky. That was the ritual before the start of the competition. The two immediately stopped talking.
Li Xiang nodded. It seemed that Baimiya was also unhappy about Fenix's actions against the participants of the first section of the Subcontinent continent.
Sixteen people, two on two. Eight high rings were placed in the sky.
Sixteen beams of light were sent to the rings at the same time. As soon as they landed, Li Xiang suddenly realized that his opponent … was a black cat.
"Hmm … there must be something wrong." Li Xiang patted his head and looked at the black cat. He found it hard to accept. "Is there something wrong with the teleportation?"
"Yes, I am your opponent."
Oh my god!
The black cat was speaking human language.
It was speaking in a girl's voice.
"You …" Li Xiang looked at the sky. His opponent was Zhe Yuan, who was estimated to be twelfth on the list.
He had learned a lot about Zhe Yuan. She was the heir to the Zhe family and one of the shareholders of the Subcontinent Life Group.
The Zhe family had high hopes for her. She had the potential to be a sorcerer and had been famous since high school.
Also, she was a personal student of the Night Shadow … Judging from the time she joined the Night Shadow, she was Li Xiang's senior sister.
"That, that Senior Sister Zhe." Li Xiang did not know what was going on and asked, "Are you Senior Sister Zhe?"
"Yes. For the moment, I prefer to be a black cat," Zhe Yuan answered honestly. She observed Li Xiang's reaction and began to walk gracefully. "This is my magic trick, Enhanced Black Cat Transformation."
"Uh …" To be honest, when Li Xiang first knew about Zhe Yuan, he always felt that she should be the kind of arrogant, but in fact, she was a cold and arrogant elder sister. This was in line with the image of a senior sister in his heart.
She had asked the Subcontinent Life Group to sponsor him as a gift. He had heard that she had helped him take care of several hidden enemies during the final trial. She should be one of his people, no, a cat.
So, why a cat?
"Ha …" Zhe Yuan laughed. Her cat face was full of sarcasm.
Li Xiang's heart instantly became alert. This reaction, she seemed to have seen through his thoughts just now, that's why she was like this!
"You think I'm a mature woman?" Zhe Yuan licked her paws with a sinister smile on her face. Her sarcasm had confirmed his guess.
Li Xiang immediately jumped a large distance away and looked at this Senior Sister Black Cat very warily.
Generally speaking, Enhanced Magic was suitable for actual combat. It was much better than General Magic and Auxiliary Magic.
He didn't believe that Zhe Yuan couldn't turn a human into a cat without other assistance. Otherwise, he would be giving himself a huge blow.
"Why do you look like you want to rub my face?" Zhe Yuan turned around lazily. She had to change some of her habits after turning into a black cat. Her soft ears twitched. She suddenly stood up. "Meow!"
Whoosh —
A gust of wind brushed past his ear.
Li Xiang was surprised. He looked back at the shield behind him. There was a clear mark of a cat's paw. The shield was almost torn apart!
That speed and strength!
"Watch out, Meow. When I transform, I'm not just any black cat. I'm a Meow Spirit from the void! "
Wasn't that just a black cat?!
Li Xiang complained inwardly. This time, he was prepared and he was able to see the attack clearly.
