After listening to Lin Mu's words Ming Dandan and Ming Aolian grasped it well.
"Thankfully, there is a couple of hours of gap between each cycle of fights. It'll give us enough ti to plan I suppose." Ming Dandan said.
"Indeed. It'll give us enough ti to make any changes if needed." Lin Mu agreed.
"Your opponent is an interesting one too, brother Mu Lin." Qian Wen suddenly spoke.
"Tian Ning, you know about him?" Lin Mu asked.
He was going to ask more about him anyways and this just gave him an opportunity to talk about it.
"Yes. He's one of the top contenders too and has participated in the last Tournant of the Four Guardians as well." Qian Wen replied. "He actually managed to reach top twenty last ti and has been spending his ti wandering the Rust Sky world and gaining experience since then." Qian Wen answered.
"Hmm… so he's stronger than before. How are his records from the previous fights?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Almost all of his previous fights in this tournant were fast. He would end them in a few moves and none of his opponents were able to last against him. Even for the all out battle before this, he was from the fourth Spatial Plane that had ended the round." Qian Wen answered.
"I see…" Lin Mu reckoned that it might be a proper opponent this ti.
"You might have to be careful with him. He's at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm but his skills are strong. He's said to have cultivated the Thunderclap Nine Heavens technique and is a lightning elental user." Lu Xu warned.
"Lightning elent, huh…" It wasn't Lin Mu's first ti fighting with soone that used the Lightning elent, but it was certainly his first ti fighting soone that was this skilled.
'If I exclude the eleventh prince of the Holy Topaz Empire Huangyu Shiyi, Tian Ning will be the first proper lightning user, perhaps.' Lin Mu thought.
While Huangyu Shiyi was also strong, Lin Mu knew that it was due to the effect of the ring. Plus Huangyu Shiyi might not necessarily have the sa level of experience as Tian Ning who was already fighting in the tournant for the second ti.
"Looks like I'll have to focus on this person a bit more then…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.
After this, they discussed a few more matters such as how much they would be betting and whom to bet it on. For the first cycle, they decided to bet it all on Lin Mu, since he was the only safe choice.
There were other contestants that they knew would win for sure, such as the third prince, Feng Baxing. But the odds for betting on him were basically negligible.
He was the obvious choice and the betting pavilion was already expecting him to win against his opponent, who was also at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm.
Tian Ning, on the other hand, had a similar win rate to Lin Mu. The betting pavilion had raised the odds for Lin Mu as well, and while it wasn't going to give him a massive profit like before, it would still be decent in the fight against Tian Ning.
From the predictions that had been made, the chances of Tian Ning winning were set at 55% while Lin Mu's were at 45%.
This was actually quite high considering the fact that Lin Mu was a newbie for the tournant even if he had demonstrated his abilities earlier. Tian Ning was higher in cultivation base than him as well as had a better experience.
Thus, it was obvious why the betting pavilion was preferring him.
They talked for a while before there was just an hour left for the tournant to start again.I think you should take a look at
~humm~
The identity token humd again, reminding the participants to be at the Tournant grounds.
"It is ti." Lin Mu spoke.
"Let's go then." Lu Xu replied.
"No, you all can just wait here. It's best to avoid the public eye for now. You can watch the tournant a lot better from here anyways." Lin Mu suggested instead.
"Hmm… if that's what you wish for Brother Mu Lin." Lu Xu didn't deny it.
"We'll be cheering you on!" Ming Dandan said.
"Thank you." Lin Mu replied.
"Good luck, Brother Mu Lin." They all said before Lin Mu took his leave.
He made his way to the tournant grounds.
The entrance gate for the Four Spatial Planes was set up in the sa location as before thus everyone knew where to go. And just like before, there was a large crowd gathered around there.
"Look! It's the third prince!"
"It's Prince Feng Baxing!"
"He's as domineering as ever."
The people in the crowd were excited about the fight and were cheering on the contestants already.
Since only 64 cultivators were left now, pretty much everyone else had free ti to watch the matches. Thus, it didn't matter what they did and could roam around to enjoy the rest of the tournant. The audience was standing around the platform, while six of the eight participating contestants were standing on the platform.
It was clear that other than Lin Mu, there was another person who had yet to arrive.
"So that's Feng Baxing…" Lin Mu too got to see the man face to face for the first ti.
He was his final goal in the tournant and Lin Mu had only seen him from a distance before this. Lin Mu's eyes lingered on the man for a minute as he tried to analyze the man.
Feng Baxing had a cold and domineering face. That was accentuated by the helt he wore.
He wore a silver helt on his head that had green crystal embedded in it while a similarly thed armor was clad on his body. Strong Immortal Qi fluctuations could be felt from it all, showing that all the armor he was wearing Immortal armor!
He had his hands crossed in front of his chest and was looking at the gate silently.
