The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 399. What's Going on?
After Aunt Xue Yue was fishing, one by one people started betting. The first sight does always have a big effect on the next assessment.
Many cultivators had been blinded by the two crushing defeats obtained since the early round of Enghiong City. So that the same mindset will be very inherent in everyone's mind. Most of the cultivators started betting for Mo Xiaohu's defeat.
However, there were some people who did not consider the vision before, they looked more at the appearance and beauty of Mo Xiaohu.
“For the sake of beauty, I'll bet for you Miss! Even though all the possessions I have are drained. I won't regret it.” There are people who bet like that. But, only a few of them.
In a flash, in front of Aunt Xue Yue was already piling up a mountain of high-class emperor crystals. Gou Long also did not want to miss, he asked Hua Mei to come bet, twenty high-class emperor crystals for Mo Xiaohu's victory.
The talisman knowledge skills contest begins ….
During the process of the first round of the contest, a fierce competition took place. However, the Mo girl managed well to make everyone who bet feel the heart beating fast.
Mo Xiaohu passed the early stages of the contest by answering all the questions the organizing board had thrown in. The final grade of the early stage of the contest the talisman pattern drawing skill of Enghiong City obtained a perfect grade.
People who initially only bet for the sake of beauty start to see the potential for big wins, while others still try to convince themselves with the assumptions of justification against their previous betting choices.
“Is the girl really as good as she looks?”
“Maybe the organizing board is amazed at the beauty of the girl so they give the girl easy questions.”
“Maybe–the girl was just lucky. So that can answer all questions.”
In fact, all these assumptions were wrong, Mo Xiaohu was indeed very talented in two skill areas. But, he focused more on the field of talisman skills. So it became very natural that he was more powerful than all the other contestants. This girl was not just having celestial luck at the talisman contest that followed.
From the fortress where Enghiong City began to look full of joy. Perhaps, there was only Aunt Xue Yue who really knew the skill of her nephew, whereas the others were still fumbling around.
The most joyous face must have belonged to Master Tian Long. The Great Emperor of Enghiong City muttered, “Xue ‘er, why do you never tell me that your nephew is very talented in the field of talismans. I think his talent, just the most powerful in Enghiong city. But, who would have thought that he could even potentially win this talisman pattern comprehension contest.”
Everyone glanced with a smile at Master Tian Long. Only now did they hear Master Tian Long subconsciously mutter with a cordial greeting to Miss Xue Yue.
Meanwhile, the second round on the talisman contest branch had resumed.
Mo Xiaohu again showed an admiring appearance. After struggling with various papers and drawings of intricate patterns for half a day. Mo Xiaohu became the first contestant to most quickly finish drawing the talisman pattern.
As he had declared victory to himself, the girl did not care about the judgment of the pageant's organizing board towards the talisman he produced, and it was indeed not necessary at all.
Any talisman experts present there as spectators could judge. Both the talisman paper, patterns as well as everything that supported the talisman to become a high-ranking talisman were in Mo Xiaohu's work.
The Mo girl just needed to wait for the other participants to finish the contest and the final announcement from the organizing board.
The people who were betting on Mo Xiaohu's defeat were now completely regretful towards his own luck. Ten high grade emperor crystal was really not a large number, but it was also not a small amount.
The ones who were very lucky were surely a small portion of the people who bet on Mo Xiaohu. Although the final announcement had yet to come out, but the appraisal of all the talisman experts was definitely a true benchmark.
One incense stick passed. All the contestants had completed the talisman they were working on. Then the organizing board announced, Mo Xiaohu as the one who managed to win the talisman branch contest.
Many disappointed faces look after the third contest. Disappointed at losing the bet, also disappointed because Enghiong City did not show the joke as before.
The happiest were of course the people from Enghiong City, the first victory for them was worth a double. Yes, it must be a win on a bet that becomes more value. On that occasion alone they had obtained an extremely abundant amount of high grade emperor crystals.
That said, the people from Enghiong City and the people who supported Mo Xiaohu became millionaires within a day.
Euphoria for victory is only momentary. The organizing board had proceeded on the final contest, namely the Alchemy skill.
Gou Long rose with confidence.
“Long ‘er, great hope Aunt pinned on you. Don't you disappoint.” Aunt Xue Yue had yet to explain to Master Tian Long the Alchemy prowess of Gou Long. He deliberately said that, so that the trust of the people from Enghiong City would also be higher on Gou Long.
Gou Long nodded lightly and darted over the platform.
“Gege .. Be careful, and fight!” Hua Mei did not want to lose, she encouraged Gou Long.
Mo Xiaohu bit his lips, disappeared the feeling of obstruction in his heart as well as dispelled the feeling of embarrassment. With a loud cry he shouted, “Long Gege .. as Xiaohu ‘er had promised. Xiaohu ‘er support you until the end.”
Mo Xiaohu's voice echoed loudly to every other platform.
It caused people to become interested in Gou Long's figure. “Why are there so many beauties showing the young man.”
“Ah, that's him the one who made a fuss in the elite inn three days ago.” People have recognized Gou Long.
When the participants had gathered everything, the contest immediately began. A general knowledge of Alchemy was asked of each participant. Here, Gou Long did not stand out too much, even the value he obtained was only limited to being able to break through to the main contest of Alchemy peak.
With this ordinary appearance. Again Enghiong City obtained ridicule and insults.
“Ha ha ha! … The skilled one from Enghiong City is just Girl Mo, the rest are just incompetent clowns.”
Gou Long did not respond, nor did Aunt Xue Yue. Mo Xiaohu just clenched his fists hard, he was furious. He knew, Gou Long's basic knowledge of Alchemy was more than this one had displayed.
But, why did the young man even show such a mediocre appearance?
On top of the platform, Gou Long was still with an appearance full of confidence in himself, although scorn and contempt continued to sound in his ears.
However, the sharp eyes of Master Tian Long were able to clearly see the condition of the young man behind the high confidence.
There were subtle vibrations from Gou Long's body. “What happened?” Master Tian Long also began to wonder to himself.
