Chapter 75 Not giving face

On the tournament platform, Tuoba Ye’s clothes were already torn to shreds but there were no injuries on his body.

Everyone was able to see that he was in a bad situation.

Some Outer Sect disciples who had wagered on Tuoba Ye were already very depressed.

“This Tuoba Ye wagered on himself to win the championship, leading us to follow the suit. Looks like the Yuan Force pills are lost now.”

“It is really serious this time. I borrowed so many Yuan Force pills to wager on Tuoba Ye, how will I return it later!?”

……

Many Outer Sect disciples had seen Tuoba Ye wager on himself, so they had followed the suit and wagered on him. Now, they were near to tears.

“Tuoba Ye, you are nothing more than this. Bragging about your ferocity and wanting to win the championship is a pipe dream for you.” Luo Xiao Tian sneered.

He was occupying the upper hand, so he naturally wanted to mock Tuoba Ye.

Tuoba Ye didn’t speak, he felt the timing was good enough now.

Luo Xiao Tian had made continuous fierce attacks, his exhaustion far surpa.s.sed that of Tuoba Ye.

Moreover, Tuoba Ye already was able to feel the strength of Luo Xiao Tian, and even if he didn’t use Divine Will, he could easily see the holes in the latter.

Taking advantage of Luo Xiao Tian being distracted in talking, Tuoba Ye suddenly counterattacked.

With the Tiger Beheading blade on his hand, he used the Battle Tyrant Dragon blade’s blade technique.

He already saw the holes in Luo Xiao Tian, so he naturally could easily break through Luo Xiao Tian’s stance and moreover, he struck off the Flowing Cloud sword with one attack.

His movements were too fast, a lot of spectators didn’t even realize what happened when the Tiger Beheading blade was already on Luo Xiao Tian’s neck.

“You lost!” Tuoba Ye said flatly.

“You played dirty!” Luo Xiao Tian felt very miserable.

He simply didn’t believe Tuoba Ye’s true strength could defeat him. He still thought Tuoba Ye tricked him and used surprise attack to gain victory while he was distracted.

He was not willing to accept this, his mood was very miserable.

“All’s fair in war!” Tuoba Ye said, smiling.

Majority of the spectators had the same thoughts as Luo Xiao Tian, that Tuoba Ye won using tricks, otherwise it was not possible for him to gain victory.

Only few people understood that Tuoba Ye won due to true skills.

The Judge was one of them, he saw Tuoba Ye reverse the situation in a flash and gain the victory. He showed a shocked and admiring expression, he couldn’t help looking at Tuoba Ye several times.

“Judge, could you decide the result?” said Tuoba Ye.

The Judge came back to his senses and then, loudly declared: “Number three tournament platform, Tuoba Ye wins the match!”

Luo Xiao Tian who was a favorite to enter the top twenty, was unexpectedly eliminated in the first round. Moreover, it was by a new Outer Sect disciple, it was obvious this will cause a sensation.

Only after the Judge declared the results, the surrounding spectators came back to their senses.

“Luo Xiao Tian actually lost!? How is this possible?” There were clearly many who didn’t admit this fact.

“Tuoba Ye won. It seems he has a chance to win the championship! I wagered many Yuan Force pills on him, maybe I will make a great profit.” An Outer Sect disciple was very excited.

Yang Bin and others were already cheering: “Leader! Leader! ……”

However, the Six Dao group’s experts were all miserable, one of their experts was eliminated like this, without even entering the top hundred.

“Luo Xiao Tian was careless, otherwise he wouldn’t have lost.”

“Really feels wrong, unexpectedly losing to a new Outer Sect disciple in the first round!”

Bi Yuntian didn’t speak, he was observing Tuoba Ye and began to pay more attention to him.

Although, he also didn’t see how Tuoba Ye had turned the tide but he had been feeling that Tuoba Ye was hiding his strength.

Leng Yi Dao saw Tuoba Ye gained the victory but his mood was actually pretty good: “Tuoba Ye is really fast, Luo Xiao Tian was too arrogant!”

“Luo Xiao Tian had too much confidence on his speed, it was his tough luck!” said Yuan Yangning.

Leng Yidao’s complexion immediately became unsightly, he was also a speed expert but the result was defeat by one move. Yuan Yangning’s words also also injured him but he didn’t dare speak back.

Tuoba Ye didn’t think much about the cheers, because the victory was what he had already antic.i.p.ated and so there was nothing to be happy about.

He quickly walked down the tournament platform and returned to the Mythic group’s area.

The Six Dao group’s experts were in a bad mood when they say Tuoba Ye return.

“Gaining victory with schemes, what skills are there in it!?”

“Plots and tricks just reveal an unrefined taste!”

Tuoba Ye pretended to not have heard it, he was smiling.

“Leader, how did you gain the victory in the end?” Lei Ting also didn’t see clearly so she couldn’t help asking.

“He was too arrogant, I just took advantage of this.” Tuoba Ye indifferently said.

Luo Xiao Tian had just returned when he heard Tuoba Ye, his mood became even worse.

“Tuoba Ye, I must definitely have a match with you again later!” Luo Xiao Tian said, furiously.

Tuoba Ye smiled: “That is something in the future. You lost the match, so shouldn’t you hand over the Flowing Cloud sword? So many people are witnesses, I believe you won’t renege on your debt.”

Luo Xiao Tian’s expression immediately became unsightly, he didn’t dare to not keep his word.

“Sir Tuoba Ye, could we discuss this? I am habituated to using the Flowing Cloud sword, you also don’t use swords, so how about I give you an equivalent amount of Yuan Force pills?”

“It is not likely that I will use the Flowing Cloud sword, but if I put it for sale, I believe it will give a pretty good price.” said Tuoba Ye.

Luo Xiao Tian was still not willing to give up on the Flowing Cloud sword as he said: “Then how about this, I bought the Flowing Cloud sword for twelve hundred Yuan Force pills, I will give you fifteen hundred Yuan Force pills, you will have made a profit.”

Tuoba Ye knew Luo Xiao Tian was speaking the truth, fifteen hundred Yuan Force pills for the Flowing Cloud sword was already the top amount.

“Alright, give me the Yuan Force pills and I won’t take your Flowing Cloud sword.” said Tuoba Ye.

Luo Xiao Tian simply didn’t have any Yuan Force pills on him as he had wagered them all.

Bi Yuntian saw his expression and knew what was going on, so he said: “This is fifteen hundred Yuan Force pills, I hope you honor your word.”

He was buying popularity and Luo Xiao Tian indeed felt grateful: “Leader! Many thanks, I will definitely return them to you in the future!”

“This little Yuan Force pills is a mere trifle!” Bi Yuntian said, indifferently.

Tuoba Ye received the Yuan Force pills and said: “Luo Xiao Tian, if you want to have a match later on, then as long as you are willing to make a bet, you can find me anytime.”

Luo Xiao Tian’s mouth twitched, he didn’t respond.

He already owed fifteen hundred Yuan Force pills, he really didn’t have any other treasures on him to wager.

Bi Yuntian’s words were beautiful but the Yuan Force pills he took out, Luo Xiao Tian didn’t dare to not return them.

Tuoba Ye also didn’t tangle with them, and continued to observe the matches.

There were no bettings opened for this first round because the matches began immediately after the lots were drawn. Who was against whom, no one knew so there naturally couldn’t be any bettings.

Once the first round was over, the match orders for the second round would appear on the Jade slip. There would be plenty of time then for those powers that opened the betting booths to make a plan and open the bettings after looking at the both sides of the matches.

Only, the first round wouldn’t finish any time soon because there were over ten thousand partic.i.p.ants.

Those Inner Sect Elders also seemed to have seen this, so in order to economize time, once a match ends on the tournament platform, another match will immediately begin on it. The tournament platforms won’t be kept empty.

If they waited for the matches in all the ten tournament platforms to finish first, then a lot of time would be wasted and the first round would probably not finish even in ten days.

The matches continued on continuously, Tuoba Ye discovered many powerful Outer Sect disciples, among them were some old Outer Sect disciples and also new Outer Sect disciples.

But no popular experts showed up, Tuoba Ye was the only one with a lot of reputation to have a match on the first day.

The matches proceeded very quickly, and the first day tournament came to an end at the nightfall. Over two thousand partic.i.p.ants had already finished their matches.

Many matches finished within three-five minutes, basically. Some matches were even quicker, ending up in less than a minute, and there were also some matches which ended with a single move. Naturally, some evenly matched matches took a little longer to finish but that kind of matches were very few.

With this speed, the first round of the tournament could finish in five or six days.

Although Tuoba Ye was not very interested in these matches, he patiently observed them to the end.

After the matches were over, he took the Mythic group’s members and prepared to leave immediately.

Bi Yuntian originally wanted to seize the opportunity to curry favor with Lei Ting: “Miss Lei Ting, do you have time? If you have time, I would like to invite you to dinner.”

“Ask my leader, I follow the leader.” Lei Ting tossed it to Tuoba Ye.

Bi Yuntian’s complexion changed slightly, he swallowed his pride and said: “Tuoba Ye, come eat together with us.”

His tone was somewhat indifferent and moreover, it was like an order.

“I am sorry, I don’t have time.” Tuoba Ye said, coldly.

He took the Mythic group’s members and left quickly, without giving any face to Bi Yuntian.

“Leader Bi Yuntian, I am sorry!” Lei Ting also followed behind and left.

Seeing the Mythic group’s members leave, Bi Yuntian’s expression darkened: “Humph! If it were not for Miss Lei Ting’s reputation, I wouldn’t have acknowledged you, but you dare put on airs in front of me!”

Bi Yuntian was a very famous person at the Immortal Clouds valley, only Jue Wuqing was barely able to be compared to him. Even the Outer Sect Elder Lu Yunfeng would give him face.

But Tuoba Ye didn’t give him face, this made his mood very bad.

“Leader, that Tuoba Ye is too arrogant, should we teach him a lesson?” Luo Xiao Tian coldly said.

Luo Xiao Tian would be the very first supporter if they decided to teach Tuoba Ye a lesson, because he had lost fifteen hundred Yuan Force pills. He was also defeated by Tuoba Ye in the first round, this was an extraordinary humiliation to him.

“Teach him a lesson? It would be better to defeat him fairly at the tournament platform. I don’t want Miss Lei Ting to look down on our Six Dao group.” Bi Yuntian also wanted to teach Tuoba Ye a lesson but he had to attach importance to the present conditions.

Recently, the Six Dao group and the Ten Extremes group were both trying to rope in Lei Ting. The group that roped in Lei Ting, would have the chance to become the strongest group at the Pill Cauldron sect and other groups would be far from being able to compare to them. The Six Dao group originally was a little stronger than the Ten Extremes group, but it was very little. The one who could rope in Lei Ting would lead by a wide margin.

Bi Yuntian also couldn’t see through Lei Ting’s thoughts. Previously, she wanted make Tuoba Ye suffer, but what was she thinking now? No one knew that and perhaps even she, herself, was unclear.

Without seeing through Lei Ting’s purpose, Bi Yuntian naturally didn’t want to offend her because of this.

Luo Xiao Tian was helpless as he nodded his head: “Leader, you can depend on us, we will definitely make Tuoba Ye suffer next time.”
