TFHS: Chapter 183

Compared to the excitement of many people, Lu Yanfeng, Gong Liquan and their group were gritting their teeth with anger.

This was especially so with Lu Yanfeng, whose injuries hadn’t healed. He had been beaten so hard by Bai Qiaomo, so he hated this man even more and wanted to see the result of Bai Qiaomo’s defeat.

But things didn’t go as he wished.

He needed to stay in bed to recuperate and couldn’t go out, but it was impossible for him to have no one to serve him.

Seeing that time was almost up, he ordered people to go out and inquire about the battle between Bai Qiaomo and Wu Liyan.

When Wu Liyan fought hard, even Lu Yanfeng was afraid. He thought that Bai Qiaomo definitely wouldn’t end up well against this violent woman.

The subordinate sent by the Lu family went out and the result was known easily, although the subordinate was surprised.

After returning, the subordinate didn’t know how to tell the young master. The young master definitely wouldn’t want to see such a result.

However, Lu Yanfeng’s face was pale. The less the subordinate said, the more he felt the result wasn’t good.

The attendant had to grit his teeth and resentfully tell the young master the truth. Lu Yanfeng was stunned for a moment. Bai Qiaomo actually defeated the violent woman. How could this be possible?

The next moment, he couldn’t stand the stimulation and spat out a mouthful of blood. The attendant was so scared that he quickly took out a pill for Lu Yanfeng to take. He hadn’t expected this incident to be so stimulating to the young master.

Gong Liquan also had the urge to cough up blood. Even Wu Liyan wasn’t Bai Qiaomo’s opponent. Their initial round-robin battle became even more of a joke.

That d*mn Bai Qiaomo, why was he in the limelight?

Gong Liquan couldn’t do it himself, but he blamed others for being too good.

After the battle ended that day, the topic about Bai Qiaomo in Imperial City remained hot.

Even if Zong Yupao also had a fight, the attention toward it couldn’t be compared to the fight between Bai Qiaomo and Wu Liyan.

Sometimes when a topic mentioned a person, it would make people rebellious and hate this person.

However, in the recent gossip, Bai Qiaomo was a person that everyone couldn’t avoid.

Everyone in Imperial City was paying attention to the progress of the league. Now that the competition was coming to an end, the public was more concerned about who would be the champion, runner-up and third place winner. The champion received the most attention.

Feng Ming had previously spent more than 10 million yuan crystals on Bai Qiaomo and almost everyone in Imperial City was watching the fun. No one thought Bai Qiaomo could be the final champion as Feng Ming wished.

But as the competition progressed, everyone’s topic became: Bai Qiaomo isn’t really going to win the championship, is he?

In the teahouses and restaurants, everyone was talking about the situation today and the crucial battle tomorrow.

“I originally thought that Wu Liyan was such a tough woman that no one could beat her except Zong Yupao. I didn’t expect that Bai Qiaomo could actually beat her. It is incredible.”

“After these battles, except for Zong Yupao, Bai Qiaomo is the only one who had no record of defeat so far. Wu Liyan has even suffered a defeat.”

“This Bai guy is a bit weird. I heard that his dantian was destroyed before and he was deserted by everyone. I didn’t expect he would one day rise again. It seems he is really on a roll now. How long will this situation last?”

“Now it all depends on tomorrow’s battle. Originally, no one thought that anyone else would win except for Zing Yupao. Now everyone isn’t sure.”

“Today’s battle is so exciting. There are already image stones sold outside. Have you bought them?”

“Is there? I have to go buy one quickly. No, buy ten. I will use one to watch and the other nine for collection.”

Someone else asked, “Are all the betting games closed? No more betting?”

“Haha, why are you still betting at this time? Looking at the current situation, the bookmakers behind them are worried about now being able to make ends meet. If Bai Qiaomo really wins the championship tomorrow, those bookmakers will probably want to kill Bai Qiaomo.”

“That is unlikely. Are you so optimistic about Bai Qiaomo?’

“Aren’t you optimistic? If you aren’t optimistic about him, who are you going to bet on now?”

It wasn’t just one person who did this. Others also sneaked over and wanted to bet on Bai Qiaomo. If he won, it was still five times the odds.

As a result, all the betting games were closed and no longer accepted bets. This made people leave disappointed.

“Hehe, I just want to try my luck. I should’ve made a bet when the odds were 20 times.”

“Oh my god, do the math. If Bai Qiaomo really wins, how much of the 10 million yuan crystals that Feng Ming spent on him will he receive back?”

Everyone who heard this couldn’t help doing a mental calculation. Then there were gasps in the restaurant.

How much? It was more than 200 million yuan crystals. They all wanted to rob him after hearing that. Now they also understood the pressure the bookmakers were under.

It must be known that more than one person bet on Bai Qiaomo. Later, many people followed suit and bet on him for fun.

Many people regretted it. If they had known earlier, they would’ve followed suit instead of just watching the joke.

Another day passed. The stands were full and more people were coming to watch the crucial battle between Bai Qiaomo and Zong Yupao.

The champion of the martial arts competition would be born between the two of them.

The audience came early and the two contestants hadn’t arrived yet.

Even many princes and princesses came. Some princes were in a complicated mood, not knowing whether they wanted their 18th brother to win or lose.

If he lost, it seemed that the imperial family would be shamed. The proud son they carefully cultivated lost to a cultivator from outside.

If he won, their 18th brother would have a higher status and more importance in the minds of their father and court officials, creating difficulties for them on the road to power.

There were also princes who regretted not discovering Bai Qiaomo, the dark horse, earlier and pulling him into their own camp.

If they acted now, their purpose would be too obvious. Many people were staring at Bai Qiaomo, so they would be discovered by all parties as soon as they moved.

Some people were simply happy, such as Shi Yan and Cheng Miao, the grandfather and grandson.

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes in joy when he thought about the bet he made in the name of his grandson. “Miao Miao, have you thought about how to spend the yuan crystals if Bai Qiaomo wins?”

Cheng Miao scratched his head. “Grandpa, the fight hasn’t started yet.

Shi Yan laughed. “But it doesn’t prevent us from thinking about it first.”

Cheng Miao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, he didn’t know how to spend it. He had never seen such a large amount of yuan crystals.

The disciples of Sihong Academy were all shocked by the scene in the venue when they entered with Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.

There were too many people. If they didn’t have a special entrance, they would be squeezed outside.

Think about it. They came here to watch Bai Qiaomo and Zong Yupao fight, but Bai Qiaomo himself was kept outside by the crowd and wasn’t allowed to enter. That scene would be really unbearable to watch.

The crowd became excited the moment they appeared.

“Bai Qiaomo is here. I heard that he was injured when fighting Wu Liyan yesterday. Has he recovered now?”

“He looks normal. Maybe he has recovered.”

“If he goes on the field with an injury, this battle is destined to be Zong Yupao’s stage.

“I think he is in good condition. Don’t forget that there is a fourth grade alchemist beside him who can produce best-grade pills. In addition, there is a fifth grade alchemist behind the fourth grade alchemist. Unless he is seriously injured, it will be impossible for him to go on the field with an injury.”

“Look, Zong Yupao is on the other side. Did the two of them make an appointment? They entered the field at almost the same time.”

“Please, the time is almost the same. They all come on time, not like us who enter the field early just to grab a good position to watch the match.”

Both of them appeared, and there was even more noise. If the field had a lid, the lid would’ve been pushed off by now.

It was a really big hit.

Feng Ming looked to the left and right before whispering, “Brother Bai, how do you feel now? Are you excited?”

Bai Qiaomo knocked on Feng Ming’s head with a smile. What was going on in his mind?

Wu Liyan also came. How could she miss today’s battle?

She had fought with both of them, but she didn’t dare to guess who would win.

Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi also sat in their old seats and were amazed by the scene in the venue.

Ji Yuan felt that there hadn’t been such a big commotion when he won the championship of the formation master competition. How could a formation master be worthless?

Wu Liyan had many fans. As the 18th prince, Zong Yupao also had no shortage of fans.

Many unmarried girls and gers from powerful families regarded the 18th prince as the most ideal partner.

They might not be interested in fighting with swords or spears, but they ran to the stands early this time to see Zong Yupao showing his power.

Bai Qiaomo’s appearance wasn’t inferior to Zong Yupao, and he had accumulated some admirers in recent days.

For some powerful children in Imperial City, if Bai Qiaomo hadn’t already been a son-in-law, they would’ve been happy to let Bai Qiaomo become a member of their family.

Unfortunately, his significant other was Feng Ming, a genius alchemist. If they dared to snatch him away, they would offend Feng Ming, a genius alchemist, and Yu Xiao, the fifth grade alchemist behind him.

So they could only look at Bai Qiaomo with regret. How could such a good man be married off so early?

Look at Wu Liyan and Zong Yupao. Neither of them had solved their lifelong battles.

The referee transmitted his voice to every corner through the sound amplification formation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to suppress the noise in the venue.

“Today’s championship battle is about to begin. I will invite the contestants Zong Yupao and Bai Qiaomo to the stage.”

“Zong Yupao will win!”

As soon as the referee finished speaking, many people shouted loudly to cheer for Zong Yupao.

Feng Ming saw that the situation wasn’t good. If they only cheered for Zong Yupao, Bai Qiaomo’s momentum would be weakened. He immediately took the lead and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Come on, Bai Qiaomo! Bai Qiaomo will win!”

The disciples of Sihong Academy quickly joined in. Then more voices joined and it was no longer the one-sided situation just now.
