Chapter 387: The Betting Market and Odds (9th Update)



"Alright, let's talk business."

Master Blood Dragon spoke solemnly, holding the phone and said, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Ascension Conference. Your understanding of the Dragon Ascension Conference isn't comprehensive yet, so let me give you some insight."

"The Dragon Ascension Conference is a competition of Dragon Vein Masters' Talent abilities. All Dragon Vein Masters from Hua Xia can participate."

"The Dragon Ascension Conference is conducted by various Dragon Vein Masters competing in comprehending Dragon Veins. When the time comes, Beijing will activate an Array, and although the competitors will be physically in Beijing, they will still be able to comprehend Dragon Veins across the entire Shen Zhou!"

"The victory condition of the competition is very simple. Whoever understands the largest Dragon Vein and induces the greatest response from the Dragon Pillar wins!"

"Generally speaking, before the competition starts, the more Dragon Veins someone possesses and the stronger their Talent, the higher the chances of winning the competition and ultimately securing the champion's position."

"The champion of the Dragon Ascension Conference must also meet the minimum Talent requirements set by the successive Guardian Gods of Huaxia to become a person of Dragon Ascension. Otherwise, they can only receive the champion's rewards without becoming a person of Dragon Ascension."

"It has always been difficult for the Dragon Ascension Conferences through the ages to select a person of Dragon Ascension. Although the Talent of former champions was excellent, most did not meet the minimum Talent standards to become a person of Dragon Ascension."

"Your Talent is unquestionable, truly one in a million, but Sima Moyi currently has the Dragon Vein Divine Map, and he has already pre-emptively comprehended the Beijing Dragon Vein. So you must not be careless!"

"This edition of the Dragon Ascension Conference will definitely produce a person of Dragon Ascension! It will be either you or Sima Moyi! Both of you have great Talent and stand a chance!"

Master Blood Dragon's tone was very serious: "Although I don't really like that kid from the Sima family, his Talent is indeed strong, especially with the Divine Map in hand, not the least bit inferior to you! You need to take this seriously!"

"Understood, Master. Don't worry."

Bai Yan said with a chuckle.

After chatting for a while more, the mentor and protégé ended the phone call.

Early the next morning, Yan Qing hurried back from the Yan Family with Sofia, preparing to guide Bai Yan to participate in the Dragon Ascension Conference.

The Dragon Ascension Conference was held in a specially demarcated suburban area of Beijing, shrouded in an Illusion Realm inaccessible to ordinary humans.

The three of them drove there, showing their Huaxia Abnormality Organization access cards, and then entered the Illusion Realm.

From the outside, the area appeared as a serene and spacious place with no traces of human activity.

However, upon entering the Illusion Realm, the place was crowded with numerous Abnormals and Dragon Vein Masters.

This Illusion Realm was unique; it looked small from the outside but contained a world within, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators and competitors.

It was bustling with activity, with people standing shoulder-to-shoulder. At a glance, there were dense crowds, presenting the scene of a bustling atmosphere.

In the center of the venue was a huge platform, surrounded by several smaller platforms, all made of granite, serving as the competition stage.

On each platform were placed more than a dozen cushions. Competitors were sitting on the ground, eyes closed, comprehending Dragon Veins.

Above the Illusion Realm was a layer of pale blue film visible to the naked eye, shimmering with flowing light, absolutely dazzling.

"Today is the preliminary match of the conference. Since you've directly entered the top thirty-two, you'll need to wait for another two days."

Sofia drove the car, Yan Qing sat next to Bai Yan, her delicate body pressing against him as she softly introduced, "These platforms are where the competitions take place. People here can comprehend Dragon Veins on these platforms. Their consciousness flows through this special layer of the Illusion Realm, spreading nationwide. They can comprehend the Dragon Veins of the entire Shen Zhou here."

"The duration of the competition is one week. During the preliminaries, there are groups of ten. Whoever comprehends the most Dragon Veins wins!"

Yan Qing gave a detailed introduction.

Bai Yan looked out the car window, observing with interest.

What intrigued Bai Yan the most about the Dragon Ascension Conference was undoubtedly this special layer in the sky of the Illusion Realm. It was capable of expanding and enhancing the competitors' ability to comprehend, allowing them to understand the Dragon Veins of the entire Shen Zhou.

To enable an ordinary Dragon Vein Master to comprehend the Dragon Veins across the whole Shen Zhou was truly terrifying!

The depth of the Huaxia Abnormality Organization was indeed profound, to be able to set up such a special Illusion Realm.

Bai Yan's gaze wandered, glancing towards the distance.

In the distance, quite a few Abnormals gathered together; these were not competing Dragon Vein Masters but ordinary Abnormals.

These people varied in strength, high and low alike, but they congregated together, shouting and yelling, very excited.

"That's the betting ring, allowed to exist with the permission of the Huaxia Abnormality Organization. Every year at the Dragon Ascension Conference, families send representatives to come together and open a book, placing wagers, gambling on wins and losses."

"After each year's conference, this betting ring must submit a large portion of their profits as taxation to Huaxia and the Abnormality Organization. Despite this, the families that organize these betting rings always make a killing."

"The betting booth's management rotates annually, and this year it just so happens to be managed by the Xu Family and several friendly families from the Sima clan."

Yan Qing whispered this information, as a reminder to Bai Yan.

Just then, several loud shouts came from the betting booth: "Damn, the odds for Bai Yan making it to the finals are so low, so why are the odds for his match against Sima Moyi so high!"

"Isn't this just giving away money? I'm betting on Bai Yan to make it to the finals!"

"Bullshit, he's got the support of Master Blood Dragon behind him; of course he'll make it to the finals! I bet that there will definitely be a battle between Sima Moyi and Bai Yan! My money's on Sima Moyi to win!"

"I'm also betting on Sima Moyi to win, ten million!"

"I bet a hundred million!"

The shouts from afar rose continuously, with this year's betting booth's hottest topic undoubtedly revolving around Bai Yan and Sima Moyi.

The lower the betting odds are, the more favored the bet.

Everyone was favoring Bai Yan to make it to the finals, yet they were not optimistic about his chances of winning against Sima Moyi.

After all, there is only one Beijing Dragon Vein, and not everyone has it.

The impact Sima Moyi had on the Abnormals in Beijing was just too great!

Everyone still vividly remembers the towering Dragon Pillar that soared to the skies from a few days back!

"This is interesting."

Bai Yan smiled.

As the Mercedes pulled into the parking lot, Bai Yan opened the car door and got out with two ladies, immediately drawing the attention of most people in the vicinity.

"Look, that's Bai Yan!"

"Wow, those two ladies are stunning!"

"One is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, the other is the Saintess from the Bright Church, I'm so envious of this guy! He's got such great luck with the ladies!"

Many people watched Bai Yan in surprise and envy, especially as the two ladies were each intimately holding an arm of his.

With such heavenly beauty, any man would be moved; Bai Yan having two of them, one on each side, naturally drew people's envy.

"Why is he here? At such a critical time, why isn't he at home practicing properly, what's he doing here? It's not even his turn to compete yet!"

Someone asked in surprise.

"Just a fool courting death, just watch, he won't be able to bounce around for much longer! Mr. Sima will teach him how to behave!"

"Think he's great just because he forced his way into the Sima residence unscathed some days ago? That was because Master Blood Dragon was protecting him; without the Huaxia Abnormal People Organization, this Bai Yan is nothing but a fart!"

"Right, Mr. Sima has already successfully attuned himself with the Beijing Dragon Vein, and is overwhelmingly powerful! Bai Yan's position as a Dragon Ascendant is at risk, I reckon he's feeling anxious right now!"

"Ha ha, well said!"

Many people murmured, looking at Bai Yan with eyes filled with jealousy and mockery, most of whom were flip-flopping offspring of the Abnormal Families, who had been hostile towards Bai Yan from the start.

Even during the subsequent alliance choices, these Abnormal Families didn't choose to support the Huaxia Abnormality Organization and Bai Yan.

Both times, they chose to ally with the Sima family, undoubtedly making clear that there was no room for reconciliation with Bai Yan and Master Blood Dragon.

In a sense, Sima Moyi's success or failure would determine the future of their family fortunes.

Bai Yan chuckled and couldn't be bothered with these people.

For such troublemakers, the best way to educate them is to ruthlessly shatter their illusions and make them see what reality is truly like!

"Sima Moyi!"

"Mr. Sima has arrived!"

"Today, both of these people, why have they come to the Dragon Ascension Convention?"

As Bai Yan looked around with interest at the competitors of the Dragon Ascension Convention, exclamations began to sound.

Bai Yan and Sima Moyi, as the two hot favorites for the championship this season, their every move was closely watched by everyone, to the extent that the other Dragon Vein masters were mostly ignored.
