112: Betting, big exam place
"Another Body Tempering Realm level five?" Director Zhou Bohao's pupils constricted slightly, then he immediately laughed heartily.
"Old Guo, your academy really waited until now to shock everyone!"
The Geniuses of Hanghai Base City, while of much higher quality than those in satellite cities like Luofeng City, are still few and far between when it comes to reaching Body Tempering Realm level five!
Guo Kai smiled, "It's all because these children are hardworking."
Although he said that, anyone could hear the smugness in Guo Kai's tone.
The other leaders of the First Academy also felt a sense of reflected glory.
Downstage.
Around Li Canglan, there were layers upon layers of students wanting to cozy up to him.
According to the usual customs of the Grand Examination, candidates could help each other during the exam.
Relying on a powerhouse like Li Canglan meant a chance to enter a key institution!
However, Li Canglan did not pay attention to these people.
Don't look at how glorious he is right now.
If he were just a piece of trash, these people would only discard him like worn-out shoes.
They would wish to stay as far away from him as possible.
Only Zhang Ganchao would stay by his side, never leaving him.
"You must be Li Canglan, right?"
Just then, the crowd suddenly parted.
A woman with an extraordinary appearance, wearing a tight light-blue battle skirt, with round and slender legs, walked over from a distance.
She had a high ponytail and a cold tone.
"My squad is currently missing one person. I'll give you a chance to join us."
Seeing this person appear, the surrounding students began to sigh.
"Jia Xiaowen is here, we probably have no hope now."
Looking at Jia Xiaowen's attitude, Li Canglan instinctively frowned.
Although you are pretty, what is with this high-and-mighty attitude?
"Jia Xiaowen, what is the meaning of this?"
Before Li Canglan could speak, Huang Yifeng stood out with an unfriendly expression.
"Do you have the qualifications to fight me for someone?"
Jia Xiaowen looked at Huang Yifeng with a cold sneer.
For a moment, Huang Yifeng's face turned livid, and he was somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't think that just because you have Xie Tengfei as a backer, you can throw your weight around!"
Li Canglan finally understood.
Jia Xiaowen probably wasn't just wanting to invite him.
She had the idea of joining forces with another strong person.
If two Body Tempering Realm level five individuals joined forces, they could probably achieve great results, even in Hanghai Base City.
The strong are all arrogant; Xie Tengfei would not come to invite him personally.
This Jia Xiaowen was likely the person he sent to recruit Li Canglan.
She had both strength and beauty.
In the eyes of Xie Tengfei, and even most people, Li Canglan probably had no reason to refuse.
"Sorry, I have already formed my team."
Li Canglan shook his head, rejecting Jia Xiaowen's invitation.
Jia Xiaowen was stunned; it seemed she hadn't expected Li Canglan to actually refuse her.
For Jia Xiaowen, who had always been treated like a star surrounded by the moon, this was a rare occurrence.
"Are you sure you want to team up with this rabble?"
Jia Xiaowen's gaze swept over Zhang Ganchao and the others, then she let out a contemptuous sneer.
"What kind of results can these people bring you?"
"I'm afraid it would be good enough if they didn't drag you down."
Huang Yifeng and the others' expressions turned gloomy.
This Jia Xiaowen was only on par with them.
By what right did she make such wild claims?
"Since they are too arrogant to look down on us, let it be."
A calm voice came from afar.
Surrounded by a crowd, a man wearing black battle armor stared at Li Canglan with an overbearing manner.
From him, Li Canglan felt intense hostility.
Xie Tengfei looked down at Li Canglan like a superior, "If you fail to achieve ideal results, I hope you won't cry."
Li Canglan narrowed his eyes, not giving an inch.
"Although I don't know where your arrogance comes from, I advise you to shut up."
"Lest you be slapped in the face and be unable to get off the stage."
"You don't think that just because you tested at Body Tempering Realm level five, you can stand on equal footing with me, right?"
Seeing Li Canglan so tough, Xie Tengfei immediately snorted,
"You tested at Body Tempering Realm level five because you only have Body Tempering Realm level five!"
"And I tested at Body Tempering Realm level five because the upper limit of the test instrument is Body Tempering Realm level five!"
Such a pretentious remark made Li Canglan unable to help but cover his forehead.
Doesn't a person who brags about themselves feel embarrassed when saying it out loud?
"In that case, why don't we make a bet?"
Li Canglan rolled his eyes, smiling and saying.
"How to bet?"
"Very simple, the loser pays ten million!"
As soon as Li Canglan said this, all the surrounding students were dumbfounded.
This was ten million!
For ordinary working-class people, it was money they couldn't earn in a lifetime!
Can Li Canglan really come up with ten million?
Busybody types even investigated Li Canglan's background.
An orphan, receiving state subsidies!
If this guy loses the bet, wouldn't he want to renege on the debt?
"Good, the wager takes effect immediately!"
Xie Tengfei didn't know how he could lose, so he agreed directly.
He wasn't even worried about whether Li Canglan would renege.
To a Genius, face is much more important than money!
As for what they were betting on, no one brought it up.
A bet made before the Grand Examination naturally meant the results of the Grand Examination.
After Xie Tengfei left, Zhang Ganchao looked at his brother with worry, "Canglan, is this bet a bit too big?"
Although Huang Yifeng and the others didn't speak, their eyes were full of worry.
That was the famous Xie Tengfei!
Don't look at them as also being Body Tempering Realm level three, or even four.
In a normal Grand Examination, they could also get into a key institution.
But precisely because of that, they were even more aware of the gap between themselves and Xie Tengfei!
"Don't worry, if I don't accept ten million delivered to my door, it would seem impolite of me."
Looking at the confident expression on Li Canglan's face, Zhang Ganchao didn't know what to say.
He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must help his brother win this battle!
Not long after, the sound of a horn rang out outside the school.
Candidates who had finished checking their Qi and blood boarded the buses in teams to head to the Grand Examination area.
Dozens of buses traveled through the city without obstruction and soon arrived outside the city to the north of Luofeng City.
Following that, the students got off the bus one by one.
Walking off the bus, Li Canglan felt an aura of grim killing intent rushing towards him.
Ahead was a vast open space.
Every ten meters around, there was a fully armed soldier standing tall and guarding there.
Every few hundred meters, there were even Patrol Guard Martial Artists patrolling!
Any outsider who dared to charge into the Grand Examination area would absolutely face ruthless annihilation!
This also showed the official's emphasis on the Martial Dao Grand Examination.
Li Canglan looked into the distance.
In that area enclosed by barbed wire was a vast wilderness.
This area was extremely large, and one could not see the end at a glance.
However, faintly, one could hear the roars and growls of Demonic Beasts!
