Mortal Cultivation

183 The Spirit Master Competition [II]

In a blink of an eye, two days of hard work passed, and everyone did not go out during these two days, and their own service staff served free food. It could be said that apart from eating, everyone spend their time in cultivation.

On the third day, it was the day of the Continental Spirit Master Academy Grand Competition.

Early this morning, Fei, Lu Wenfeng, Zuyi, Ji Menghan, Bu Yueyue, and Yi Mei’er all changed into the new school uniforms of the Xuanbing College branch, and came to the spiritual master early under the leadership of Bu Wenle and Lao Caitou. The main hall of the palace.

Today was the opening day of the Continent Spirit Master College Competition. All the participating teachers and students from the more than 3,000 colleges have gathered together in the Spirit Master Hall, and the number of participants has reached more than 20,000. For a time, people in various costumes filled a corner of the entire venue.

The main venue of the Hall of Spiritualists is different from the other hundred other small arenas. The main venue was huge. The oval-shaped open-air venue was 50 to 60 meters high from the outside. The stands could easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people watching the game at the same time.

This main stadium was usually not open to the public. It would only be open during the opening ceremony and finals of the Continental Spirit Master Academy Grand Competition. The closing ceremony was held simultaneously at the end of the finals.

Although it was only the opening ceremony, the people who came to visit were very enthusiastic. The stands that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people were crowded with people early in the morning. Looking at the formation, it far exceeded the capacity of hundreds of thousands of people.

For such a grand event, the officials of the Forbidden City would never miss the opportunity to make money. There were countless beach spots selling souvenirs, food and various visiting props around the main stadium. However, the sales staff were all dressed in uniform, and it was an official sales point at first glance.

It was absolutely impossible for ordinary sellers to enter the Hall of Spiritualists to sell goods. But around the hall of spiritual masters, there were countless small beach vendors selling various items. After all, a grand event with more than 100,000 people flocked to it, the business opportunities are particularly huge.

.....

And that doesn’t include those who didn’t get tickets. And this group of people will definitely not be less than those who bought tickets. Although they couldn’t enter the main venue, they could visit the hall of spiritual masters at will, so that the entire hall of spiritual masters was full of people from the inside out.

Another way for officials to make money was wagering. Although the opening ceremony has just been held today, the competition teams in each small arena have already been divided into groups. There are a total of 100 small arenas, and each arena would have more than 30 academies for half-month preliminaries.

Apart from the fact that the top ten colleges in the previous competition did not need to participate in the preliminaries, in this half-month period, only ten of the more than 3,000 colleges would eventually qualify. Therefore, in this half month, the frequency of competitions was very high.

Before each game starts, the official would open a variety of gambling games. According to the information held by the official, the calculation of a few losses would be performed before selling it to the bettor. In order to make it easier for the majority of gamblers to place bets, the officials of the Forbidden City have not only set up countless betting casinos in the hall of spiritual masters, but also have betting points in every street in the entire Forbidden City.

Although on the surface this eas an official move to make it easier for citizens to place bets, but to put it bluntly, it was just a means for the official to collect money to a greater extent.

Moreover, in order to stop the loss of this part of the money, the officials of the Forbidden City were resolutely cracking down on any gambling related to the big game opened by the underground bank. If one wass caught, one would be severely punished. Although it was not up to the crime of beheading, you would never br give up if you were not punished until you go bankrupt.

Therefore, under the power, the underground gambling has long disappeared in the competition of spiritual master colleges in the whole continent. Even if two people bet each other, as long as money is involved, it was not allowed after official personnel find out.

There have been incidents in which two people bet each other a gold coin on which team wins. As a result, the losing side finally refused to admit the account. The two people scuffled and went to the government to fight a lawsuit. The official heard that the dispute between the two was caused by the bet of the spirit master contest, and it involved money.

As a result, not only did neither of them win the lawsuit, but they were both fined ten gold coins as punishment. You think, because the master who fights with just one gold coin must have no money, so these ten gold coins per person can be said to have bankrupted the family for both of them.

It was precisely because the official practice was so absolute, that the officials of the Forbidden City wouldearn earn a lot of money in every competition of the spiritual master colleges in the whole continent. This has also contributed to the construction of the Hall of Spiritual Masters in larger scale, and the more beautiful the landscape is. Therefore, in the non-competition period, the Hall of Spiritualists has also become a good place for people to travel.

Soon, the host’s voice sounded on the big stage. Then, theyI saw an old man in his 60s and 70s who sent his voice to every corner of the venue through the transmission of spiritual power. I am afraid that with that kind of skill, there is no cultivation base above the eighth level that cannot do this.

The conference hall of more than 100,000 people suddenly became quiet under the prompt of the host.

I saw the host step out one step and walk in the sky, seemingly slow, but a few dodging hosts came to the center of the main stadium.

After whirling gracefully in the air, the host stopped in the air and said loudly: “I announce that the Continent of Purple Spirit, the Continent Spirit Master Academy Competition is now starting! The opening ceremony will be held first, and the participating teams should enter the arena one by one!”

Under the arrangement of the staff, the top ten academy teams from the Upper Boundary Big Competition were the first to enter the field. In order of ranking, the first team to enter the field was the team from the Forbidden City Advanced Spiritualist Academy.

Everyone in Fei actually saw acquaintances in this team. And this person is Ruofeng, the son of the master of the Crystal Palace’s main hall, who almost fought Zuyi on the street a few days ago.

Seeing that Ruo Feng was wearing the exquisite school uniform of the gorgeous Forbidden Academy, after waving his hand to Feier’s side, he followed his team and walked into the venue with a bright face.

The host introduced at the same time in the air: “The first to enter the field is the representative team of the Forbidden City Advanced Spiritualist Academy. The Forbidden City Advanced Spiritualist Academy once won the championship in the competition of the Upper World Spiritualist Academy. In this competition, the Forbidden City Advanced Spiritualist Academy won the championship. The academy has dispatched a strong team of spiritual masters, and I believe that with the efforts of this team, the Forbidden City Advanced Spiritual Master Academy will still maintain its peak status.”

Under the introduction of the host, thunderous applause broke out from time to time in the audience. At the same time, it was accompanied by the warm sound of gongs and drums, but it still couldn’t cover the rich voice of the host.

The moment when Fei, Lu Wenfeng, Zuyi, Bu Yueyue, Ji Menghan and Yi Feier walked into the venue in a row. The host’s introduction came from the air at the same time.

I just heard the host say in a deep voice: “Now it is the Xuanbing College representative team who is entering the venue. The Xuanbing College has won the ninth place in the Upper World Spirit Master Competition. This time, I will represent the Xuanbing College to participate in the competition. The teachers and students of the branch of Xuanbing College, the instructor of this team, once led Xuanbing College to break into the top three of the spiritual master competition. The Xuanbing College team who hopes to participate in the competition in this world is here. Under the leadership of excellent teachers, we will achieve better results!”
