After drawing lots, before the battle begins.
"Hey, I heard you've opened a handicap here. What are my odds?"
Qin Qi found Bai Shixue. He heard from others that the other party had opened a betting market, so he wanted to bet on himself to make some money.
"Well, Linglong's Junior Uncle, your odds are one to one. Want to place a bet?"
Bai Shixue was holding a tablet in her hand, her eyes full of money symbols. As a woman, she loved small amounts of money the most.
"Well, your odds are not right."
Qin Qi looked at the tablet in Bai Shixue's hand. On it were everyone's rankings and odds, including his own name.
"As a newbie making my debut, the odds shouldn't be this low. Looking at your ranking above, I think it should be at least 1 to 10."
"Girl, do you have any inside information?"
"Hehe, there's no inside information, just a little bit of information gathering. I spent an ice cream to get some information from Linglong."
Bai Shixue showed a very cunning smile. She dared to open the market because she had done research early on. She knew the situation clearly in her mind.
"That stupid girl is so easy to fool. Next time she goes down the mountain, she'll probably be tricked out with just a lollipop."
Qin Qi couldn't help but shook his head.
"Young Master, are you still placing bets?"
"Go down, any money you can make is a little bit."
Qin Qi bet all the money that Lu Linglong had transferred to him on himself to win. He was determined to make back the ticket money.
"Thank you for your patronage, and I wish you a successful start."
Bai Shixue and Qin Qi added each other as friends, and then when they heard the sound of the red envelope arriving, the smiles on their faces suddenly became very bright.
After waiting for a while, the competition began. Everyone went to their corresponding arena, and Qin Qi also went.
...................................................
The first battle is a four-person free-for-all, and the last person left will advance to the next round.
"Well, I don't know any of them."
After Qin Qi came on the court, his three opponents stared at the others quietly, and he followed their example and stared at the others.
But after staring for a long time, he discovered one thing, that is, he didn't know the other person at all, and he had never heard of the other person's name.
"The battle begins!"
When the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain who was acting as the referee spoke, the three of them immediately launched an attack and then fell to the ground together in an instant.
"I would like to play with you guys for a while longer, but these are new clothes, and it would be bad if they got dirty."
Qin Qi waved his sleeves, looked up at the referee and said, "I'm considered the winner now, can I go now?"
"Yes, it's okay."
The Taoist priest looked at Qin Qi with a shocked expression. He didn't see clearly what Qin Qi did just now. He just saw the three people fall down instantly.
"Then I'm leaving."
Qin Qi left immediately. He wanted to watch other people's competitions and take the opportunity to learn some unique skills from other sects.

In the viewing area, there are many large screens showing the battle scenes of various arenas.
"Oh my god, Junior Master-Uncle is really amazing! Luckily I got some information from Linglong in advance, otherwise I would have lost out!"
"But it's posted this time, hehehe."
Bai Shixue did some calculations and found that if he bet based on a 1 to 10 odds, he would not only not make any money but would lose money instead.
But with the current rate, plus the odds on that guy alone, she made a killing.

"Whose general is this to be so ferocious!"
Feng Xingtong watched Qin Qi's match and couldn't help but widen his eyes. In just a moment, the other three fell down.
There is no way to tell what means the other party is using!
"Judging from his attire, he should be Quanzhen. But Quanzhen doesn't specialize in inner alchemy, so they don't practice other methods."
"Could it be that this guy used a speed that we couldn't catch and knocked down three people at once?!"
Feng Shayan frowned. They might become rivals in the future. If he didn't figure out the other party's methods now, he would not be able to deal with them later.
*
"Who am I? Where am I? Why am I participating in this competition?"
Zhang Chulan watched several battles, each one more abnormal than the last. When he finally saw Qin Qi, he really couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Brother San, didn't you say we couldn't fight? What's the situation now?"
"I never said he couldn't fight. I just said the Heavenly Road move wasn't meant for fighting."
"But I can't tell what method the other party used this time."
Xu San touched his chin. He couldn't see what means Qin Qi used to defeat the other three people. If he didn't understand, he wouldn't be able to defend himself.
*
"You are a really good apprentice."
The old Taoist priest watched Qin Qi's battle and spoke.
"He's really good, but it's really too much trouble to take care of him. If you're not careful, he can cause you trouble."
Fang Dongtian watched Qin Qi's easy victory on the screen. He didn't feel any emotion and wasn't surprised.
On the contrary, he would be surprised if Qin Qi did not win or took a long time to win.

Qin Qi walked out of the competition venue and saw Lu Linglong and his best friend Zhi Jinhua who had been waiting there early.
"Master, you were so amazing just now."
"Here, this is the ice cream Xue'er gave me just now. One for me, one for Hua'er, and one for Uncle Master. This is for you, Uncle Master."
Lu Linglong happily shared the ice cream she got with Qin Qi.
"What are you eating? These are all ice creams bought with my odds. They are all mine. You stupid girl, don't eat any of them."
Qin Qi snatched the ice cream from Lu Linglong's hand and ate it all in two or three bites.
"Master uncle...you are too bullying. I want to complain to my great-uncle master."
Lu Linglong watched Qin Qi finish all the ice cream, and she showed a pitiful expression as she looked at him holding the only remaining ice cream stick.
"Go ahead and complain, but I won't give you any food even if you do."
Qin Qi said.
After the two of them played around for a while, Lu Linglong put the matter behind her. Well, this is one of her great strengths.
That is, annoying things are forgotten very quickly and put out of mind in the blink of an eye.
"By the way, Uncle Master, let me introduce you to my good friend, Hua'er. Hey, Hua'er, why are you standing so far away?"
Lu Linglong looked at Zhi Jinhua who was hiding far away, walked over and pulled her over: "How can I introduce my uncle to you if you walk so far away?"
"Well, Linglong, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Can we talk about it next time?"
When Zhi Jinhua thought of the photo she saw last time, her legs felt weak. There was nothing she could do about it, she was really scared.
"It's just a short while. Uncle, look at the flowers, aren't they beautiful?"
Lu Linglong said.
"Well, hello to that uncle."
Zhi Jinhua had no choice but to lower her head and try hard not to look Qin Qi in the eye.
