Chapter 833 547: Ting Yu with Soul Power's Fivefold Metamorphosis—Ten-Thousandfold Odds (Part 2)
The various large, medium, and small forces on General Mountain are secretly investigating each Heavenly Talent's background, talent, combat power, battle record, and other information.
This isn't because they care much about these Heavenly Talents, but it's for the gamble battle later on.
As the Heavenly Talent War that occurs once every hundred years, its status on General Mountain is unparalleled by any other event.
During the Heavenly Talent War, the Big Shots stationed in many small worlds and the forces under their command will return to the mountain.
Firstly, to use this opportunity to connect with each other emotionally.
Secondly, they want everyone on and around General Mountain, especially Lord General Lv Potian, to understand everyone's situation.
Thirdly, to report on their work over the past hundred years and the information they have acquired.
In short, the Heavenly Talent War is merely a pretext; the real focus is on these top strong persons.
However, although the Heavenly Talent War serves merely as a reason for everyone's return, it should not be underestimated.
For tens of thousands of years, every time the Heavenly Talent War is held, it's a grand feast.
Disciples with talent will be selected by a Boss and become their Direct Disciples, standing on a higher starting line than others from the beginning.
Others may be recruited by people from other Holy Lands or forces during the competition, becoming one of them.
After all, these Heavenly Talents are individual geniuses, perhaps somewhat lacking compared to other Heavenly Talents, but in comparison to ordinary people, they are still looked up to by everyone.
If any major force can recruit one or two exceptionally talented Heavenly Talents, there is always hope for the future.
Of course, these forces are mostly some Sects or dynasties subordinate to General Mountain; there are indeed external forces, but they won't choose to act at this time.
It's better to cultivate your own seeds rather than using someone else's, who knows what kind of repercussions that might bring.
A few days later, the information on all the masters participating in this Heavenly Talent War was compiled.
They were ranked in order of combat power, starting from first place.
What surprised Lu Lin was that when he received this list of master information from Hu Zeng, he couldn't help but show astonishment on his face.
"Is this a joke, Hu Zeng big brother? I just made one move, and the outcome wasn't even decided, so how did I get ranked first?"
Lu Lin said incredulously.
He knew his own ability well; although good, among the strong there are always stronger, and Lu Lin never dared claim he was invincible at any time.
But this time, he was actually ranked first among all Heavenly Talent War participants, which left him somewhat puzzled.
Isn't this just giving him enemies out of nowhere?
Since ancient times, there is no first place in literature, no second place in martial arts.
Even if Lu Lin got second place, it would be much safer than being first now.
"I know, this time Lu Lin brother you were also harmed by me."
"That Dong Bihe has been stirring things up, getting several forces to compile the rankings and to hype up your ability."
"Previously I couldn't figure it out, but upon seeing this pamphlet, I realized that they had malicious intent, trying to put you on the fire."
"Originally, this was my grudge with him, I didn't expect you to also be implicated."
Hu Zeng said, with a trace of pain on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that he said Lu Lin would definitely get first place that day, he wouldn't have provoked Dong Bihe.
If he hadn't provoked him, then Dong Bihe wouldn't have been fanning the flames and causing trouble like this.
The Heavenly Talent War, which occurs once every hundred years, gathers countless forces under General Mountain, and before the real competition, who dares claim they can defeat other Heavenly Talents?
This is a double-edged sword, putting Lu Lin on the fire.
Seeing Hu Zeng's face full of guilt, Lu Lin's heart also felt soft.
"Hu Zeng big brother, actually it doesn't matter."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Our original plan was to become first place in this Heavenly Talent War anyway, so even if we become someone else's stepping stone, it's something we have to deal with."
"However, at the Heavenly Talent War, who wins and who loses is determined by my knife, not idle talk."
"If others are unconvinced, or want to step on me to rise, then let them try."
"This time, the championship of the Heavenly Talent War is something I, Lu Lin, am bound to win."
Hu Zeng looked at Lu Lin in a bit of a daze.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he'd seen Lu Lin exude such a domineering aura, after spending so much time with him.
Previously, whenever Lu Lin met someone, he always appeared as a good Mister.
He was articulate, capable, gentle in manner, and rarely got into conflicts with others.
But now Lu Lin, was just like a peerless ferocious knife unsheathed, releasing his formidable might all around.
"Alright, since Lu Lin brother is so confident, I'm not one to back down either, I'll go place a bet."
"A bet?"
Lu Lin was dumbfounded by Hu Zeng's words.
"Yes, a bet. Although those forces gave you a first-ranked spot, to be honest, they aren't optimistic about you. Your odds of getting through the Preliminary Selection are 5 to 10: bet ten thousand, if you're promoted, you'll receive 150,000."
"For reaching the final 16, the odds are 10 to 10."
"Top 8, 10 to 20."
"Top 4, 10 to 100."
"Champion, 10 to 10,000."
"As long as I bet 10,000 Star Stones, if you become the champion in the end, I can earn 100 million Star Stones, achieving true wealth overnight."
