I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 126 Brother Xie, is there some misunderstanding between us?
The shouts and curses from the audience continued.

The person in charge of the base city in Liaoning Province found the organizer's staff and whispered a few words to them.

Then the organizer's staff ran up to Wang Dalaba and whispered a few words to him.

"Everyone..."

"Everyone!"

Wang Dalaba activated his internal energy, unleashing his extraordinary "amplification" ability. His voice was like thunder, instantly drowning out the voices of 100,000 spectators: "I just received news that Xie Kun from the Liaoning Province base city went out of the city last night to hunt ferocious beasts and has not returned yet. Perhaps something has happened."

"Dear viewers, please don't worry. The organizers have already mobilized personnel to search the wilderness area and will soon give you a satisfactory answer."

"All right……"

"Next group of contestants, please prepare!"

The audience's anger gradually subsided.

Betting on the outcome of a match inherently involves the word "gambling," making the outcome unpredictable.

However, some people in the audience were laughing very happily.

These six people sat together alone. Judging from their appearance, they ranged in age from 40 to 60 years old, and they all possessed profound auras. The weakest among them was at the sixth rank, and there was even a grandmaster among them!
These six people represent six large families.

Their clan runs a huge business with abundant funds. Every year during the National Youth Martial Arts Competition, they join forces to set up underground betting platforms specifically for martial artists to place bets.

The Martial Arts Administration is also aware of this matter.

However, their betting pool can only be used by people from martial arts families and does not involve ordinary people, so the Martial Arts Administration turns a blind eye to it.

A sixth-rank official, holding a tablet computer and looking at the data coming from the internet, laughed and said, "This battle actually yielded a small profit of over 30 billion... It's just a pity that a very small number of people bet on Yun Yanchen, and her odds were relatively high, so some of them need to be paid out; otherwise, we could have made 40 billion."

They made a net profit of 30 billion from just one game!
This profit is simply outrageous.

However, this amount of money is nothing to the powerful families behind these six people.

"correct."

"I just noticed that someone has bet 8000 million on Yun Yanchen to win the championship, and her odds are 1:300... Aren't these odds too high? Should we adjust them?"

"Did Ya Yunyan win the championship?"

One person was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this a pipe dream? There are at least 200, if not 300, contestants in this batch who can beat Yun Yanchen... How can she possibly win the championship?"

"what……"

"Someone has bet 5000 million on Yunyanchen to win the championship!"

"Isn't this just throwing money at us?"

.........

Yun Yanchen stumbled off the stage and arrived at the rest room in Xixia Base City.

"congratulations!"

"You've advanced..."

Tian Jie and the other contestants from Xixia stood up to congratulate him, while Yun Yanchen was both amused and exasperated, saying, "I was just lucky..."

…………

at the same time.

The scene of the game.

Rest room in Liaoning Province, a base city.

Where is Xie Kun?

"what!"

"Can anyone tell me where Xie Kun is?"

"Such a grown person can't just vanish without a trace... Hong Langman, Hong Langman, so young and already doing bad things, knowing there's a competition today, why did you go to get a foot massage?"

The head of the base city in Liaoning Province was furious.

Several contestants who had been to Honglangmang with Xie Kun dared not utter a sound.

After the person in charge finished yelling, a young man whispered, "Do you think... Xie Kun might have been captured by the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback!
Even the person in charge of the base city in Liaoning Province frowned.

He is a ninth-grade Grandmaster and the leader of the Liaoning Province base city team for this competition... If Xie Kun really gets into trouble, he must take responsibility. Taking responsibility is a small matter. Xie Kun is one of the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation in Liaoning Province. If something really happens to him, it will be a huge loss for the Liaoning Province base city!

"Brother Kun..."

"Kun is back!"

At this time.

Suddenly a sound came.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Xie Kun stumble into the lounge with a limp and lifeless eyes.

He was wearing a tracksuit.

The tracksuit was clearly a size too small, and it looked ridiculously tight on my body.

no way.

Xie Kun was kidnapped by Jiang He during a massage session.

He was wearing a pair of floral shorts at the time.

In the battle with Jiang He, even his floral underpants were blown apart.

Jiang He was a generous and magnanimous man. He couldn't bear to see Xie Kun return to the city with his private parts exposed, so he sold Xie Kun a set of his sportswear. The two were about the same height, but Xie Kun was at least 40 or 50 pounds heavier than Jiang He, so the clothes naturally looked small on him.

"Xie Kun!"

"Brother Kun..."

"where have you been?"

"What... what's wrong with you?"

A group of people surrounded them.

With tears in his eyes, Xie Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang He... it's Jiang He!"

"That damn lunatic said I was badmouthing him behind his back... so he tied me up in the wilderness. He used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, and I was no match for him. He knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up it was already dawn. I rushed as fast as I could, but I still missed the competition!"

Until now.

Xie Kun still believed that Jiang He had become ill, which was why he had tied him up.

The reason...

It's possible that he retaliated because I insulted him when I was discussing Jianghe with my friend in private.

As for the deeper reason, even with his wildest imagination, he couldn't have imagined that Jiang He was tied to him just to help Yun Yanchen advance!
"Rivers..."

The person in charge of the base city in Liaoning Province murmured Jiang He's name and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you!"

outside.

The martial arts competition continues.

At this moment, Jiang He had already returned to the hotel.

He has been hunting ferocious beasts and has made a lot of money these days. In addition, the 4000 million yuan that he asked Chen Jingzhou to help him purchase the second volume of the Great Sage Fist has not yet been transferred, so he still has more than 5000 million yuan left.

then.

He opened the Martial Arts Home forum and bet another 5000 million on Yun Yanchen.

"what?"

"They've introduced a new gameplay mode again?"

"Bet on the outcome of a single game?"

"Guess the number of consecutive wins..."

The overall gameplay is somewhat similar to the sports lottery in my previous life.

Jiang He gambled during the World Cup, but he was unlucky and lost several thousand yuan.

The odds for winning or losing a single match are relatively low.

Furthermore, the first round of the martial arts competition has not yet ended. Yun Yanchen just "defeated" Xie Kun today, and the opponent for the second round has not yet been determined. Therefore, it is not possible to place bets on the "single match win/loss" game for the next round.

However, you can now place bets on the number of consecutive winning games.

Jiang He did some research and found that the highest winning streak for each participant was 12 games.

This National Youth Martial Arts Competition has a total of just over 500 participants. If all matches were to be played in an elimination format, the competition would likely be completed in about nine rounds. It is estimated that the competition format may change in the future.

The odds for several top contenders for the championship, such as Duanmu Feng and Li Wanqing, to win consecutive matches are very low.

But clouds, smoke, and dust are different.

Her odds for a winning streak are extremely high, reaching 1:300.

The odds of 300 are the maximum limit for the opening odds.

"I've invested 1.3 million... and I'll make 390 billion in the end. This is just a windfall, and after deducting 20% ​​tax, I'll be left with just over 310 billion!"

Jiang He thought about it.

He took out his phone and called Yun Zheng.

soon.

The call is connected.

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "My dear son-in-law, why did you suddenly think of calling me? You've been making quite a splash these past few days... You single-handedly overwhelmed the younger generation of the six major base cities. Although you relied on the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, this achievement has made the Martial Arts Competition pale in comparison."

Jiang He humbly replied, "I'm just a body cultivator; my skills are nothing special, achieved through brute strength alone."

Yun Zheng even called him "my worthy son-in-law".

Calling him "Uncle Yun" again would feel a bit distant, so he asked, "Dad, you've come out of seclusion? Have you broken through?"

This "Dad" made Yun Zheng smile even more, and he said, "I went into seclusion for three days and successfully entered the seventh rank of martial arts, advancing to the realm of martial arts grandmaster. I then spent another day healing the hidden injuries in my body, and then, in one go, I broke through to the eighth rank of martial arts!"

Jiang He showered him with compliments. Yun Zheng's tone was full of excitement, but he still had to maintain his composure in front of his son-in-law, saying, "Eighteen years of accumulation and preparation, this little breakthrough is nothing. I heard that that bastard Liu Feng has received guidance from a master and is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Realm... If I hadn't been injured back then, how could I have been outdone by that bastard?"

18 years ago.

Jiang He's father was already a grandmaster, and Chen Jingzhou was also a grandmaster.

Yun Zheng and Liu Feng, who can play with Jiang He's father and Chen Jingzhou, must be quite skilled in cultivation!

It's important to know that Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu were also people from that era.

at that time.

Yun Zheng and Liu Feng are even more famous than Zhang San and Li Si.

Zhou Tong, who used to follow them around as their underling, is now an eighth-rank martial artist and the captain of the Wucheng Law Enforcement Brigade... If Yun Zheng hadn't been injured, he might have truly become a martial arts master!

At the very least, he's a grandmaster!
The father and son chatted for a few minutes.

Yun Zheng then mentioned his daughter and said with a smile, "I watched the live broadcast today. Yan Chen was quite lucky... However, the overall strength of the participants in this year's martial arts competition is much stronger than that of the last year. Yan Chen's strength is still a bit lacking compared to those people."

Martial arts are evolving.

Times are progressing.

As the environment of the Great Xia Dynasty gradually stabilized, more and more resources were obtained, and martial arts flourished even more!

Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, Martial Arts Masters, A-level Awakeners, and S-level Awakeners have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, especially in recent years, with many emerging.

The younger generation as a whole has also made great progress.

The best age for martial arts training is 16.

By the time a person reaches 16, their body is almost fully developed...

Ten years ago, during the youth period from age 16 to 28, very few people could cultivate to the half-step Grandmaster level. Nowadays, in martial arts competitions, it seems that without becoming a half-step Grandmaster, one can only go through the motions.

There were more than 500 participants, of whom nearly 100 were at the half-step Grandmaster level.

and……

The others have already cultivated the true meaning of martial arts and are only one step away from the half-step grandmaster realm. For example, Tian Jie... broke through as soon as he was under a little pressure!

So does everyone else.

There was another contestant who made a last-minute breakthrough in today's competition!

This is only because the National Youth Martial Arts Competition has restricted cultivation levels this year... Otherwise, there would probably be martial arts masters and A-level awakeners participating!
After chatting for a while, Jiang He said, "Dad, actually I called you today because I need your help."

Yun Zheng retorted angrily, "What are you saying? Between us, father and son, do we need to beg? Just say what you have to say."

Jiang He: "I want to borrow money."

"How much to borrow?"

"One hundred million..."

On the other end of the phone, Yun Zheng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "My Yun family's money is your money. There's no need to talk about lending. Here's what I'll do... I'll instruct the finance department to transfer 10 billion yuan to you first. If that's not enough... just ask. Although our family's cash flow can't come up with too much right now, it's not difficult to raise 200 billion yuan in a short period of time if we really need to turn things around."

200 million?
300x odds?
Wouldn't those market manipulators who opened the market assassinate themselves?
Jiang He said, "1 billion is enough."

At 5 p.m. that day, Yun Zheng's 10 billion yuan arrived in his account.

Jianghe placed his bets immediately, sharing the spoils equally, and won 5 million each from the 12-game winning streak and the championship.

But soon...

Jiang He then thought of a question.

"Am I being too harsh?"

"What if they use the excuse of match-fixing to attack me?"

Jiang He blinked and muttered, "Who cares about the ball... Those people are cursing me behind my back, I tied them up to get revenge... What does it have to do with the game?"

6 pm.

Jiang He, who had just returned to his room after finishing his meal, had just redrawn his weakened appearance when Yun Yanchen arrived.

"Jiang He, did you kidnap Xie Kun?"

Yun Yanchen's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, guessing Jiang He's thoughts. She lowered her voice and said, "The Grandmaster from the base city of Liaoning Province has already complained to the competition organizers... This matter has had a very serious impact. My teacher asked me to invite you over."

Came so fast?
Jiang He's eyes gleamed.

One's "weakness disguise" might fool ordinary martial artists, but not a grandmaster...

You definitely can't fool them.

He rolled his eyes.

boom!
The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique erupted.

Yun Yanchen was startled and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang He... what... what are you doing?"

Jiang He said, "Yan Chen, don't be in a hurry... give me three or four minutes, I'll be quick."

4 minute later.

With Yun Yanchen's help, Jiang He left the hotel.

After a 4-minute outburst.

He was completely exhausted, his life force almost completely depleted, and he had lost a lot of weight. Coupled with his "weak makeup," Jiang He looked like he was about to die.

With Yun Yanchen's help, he got into the back seat of a taxi and arrived at the office of the martial arts competition venue.

In the office now.

Hong Wanli, a group of high-ranking officials from the Jiangnan base city, Shui Qianyun, Wu Yimin, and the Grandmaster Xie Kun from the Liaoning base city were all present.

Shui Qianyun and the Grandmaster from the Liaoning Province base city were arguing fiercely.

Shui Qianyun: "Stop making baseless accusations. Jiang He is seriously injured and can barely get out of bed. How could he have kidnapped Xie Kun?"

The Grandmaster of Liaoning Province is named Zhao Feng. He sneered, "Jiang He unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique at 11 pm on September 28th, defeating six contestants from Beihu Base City. Then, at noon the next day, he unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique again... This proves that he has a special physique and the ability to quickly recover from the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

"Who knows if he's seriously injured?"

"Perhaps your Western Xia did this on purpose, letting Jiang He clear the way for you and help your Western Xia base city contestants get good results... I've investigated, Yun Yanchen is Jiang He's girlfriend, and he kidnapped Xie Kun, perhaps just to help Yun Yanchen advance!"

Shui Qianyun sneered and cursed, "Are you brain-dead?"

"If Jianghe really has such abilities, why would our Xixia base city go through all this trouble?"

"Send Jiang He to participate directly. Once he activates his Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, who among the participants can defeat him?"

Zhao Feng: "..."

That seems to be the case?

But Xie Kun being kidnapped by Jiang He is indeed true!
Just then, someone rushed in to report, "Jianghe has arrived!"

Everyone looked towards the conference room door, only to see Jiang He, extremely weak, enter the conference room with Yun Yanchen's help.

"Smoke and dust."

"Cough cough cough..."

He coughed weakly and said, "Let go, I can walk by myself..."

Snapped!
As soon as Yun Yanchen let go, Jiang He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He stared blankly at the ceiling of the conference room, his eyes lifeless, and said weakly, "I...I might die."

The moment Xie Kun saw Jiang He, all the pent-up grievances and anger exploded. He jumped up and roared, "Jiang He, stop pretending... You were full of energy and vitality when you hit me last night!"

Jiang He's lips moved slightly.

He is too weak.

He didn't even have the strength to speak.

boom!
Shui Qianyun unleashed her aura, her body enveloped in mist. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, angrily shouting, "Zhao Feng, open your dog eyes and see... see if Jiang He is faking it or not!"

Zhao Feng: "..."

He was stunned.

In fact, from the moment Jiang He entered the door, he used his mental power to scan Jiang He eight times!
He was concerned about Jiang He's health...

They know it like the back of their hand!
Now, Jiang He's body is almost completely depleted of vital energy and blood, and his life force is like a candle flame in a storm, which could be extinguished at any moment.

This……

How can Xie Kun be kidnapped under these circumstances?

He looked at Xie Kun with suspicion.

Xie Kun panicked: "It's true... I'm not lying, it was Jiang He who kidnapped me. He also said that I cursed him behind his back and wanted to take revenge on me!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Jiang He coughed weakly, trying to stand up while supporting himself on the floor, but in the end... he still couldn't muster the strength.

He braced himself on the ground with his arms.

He lay half-prone on the ground, looking weakly at Xie Kun, and said, "This...this...Brother Xie..."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Is there...some...misunderstanding...between us?"

Snapped!
Zhao Feng slapped Xie Kun hard across the face with a backhand slap, gritting his teeth and angrily saying, "You dog, you went to the club to cause trouble right before the competition, and then disappeared without a trace, delaying the competition, and you still dare to slander Jiang He?"

Xie Kun: "..."

He covered his face, utterly despairing!
Zhao Feng had no face to stay any longer. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hong Wanli, then bowed to Shui Qianyun and said, "What happened today was my fault, Zhao Feng. I hope Master Shui will forgive me."

Turning back to glare at Xie Kun, who was still standing there dumbfounded, Zhao Feng roared, "Disgraceful thing... Get lost!"

He took Xie Kun and fled as if escaping.

Outside the conference room.

Xie Kun's aggrieved and unwilling cries echoed in the night sky.
