The moonlight washed and flowed in the base of the entire Recruit Tournament. There was a thin layer of clouds wandering around the silver moon, accompanied by occasional insect chirping.
Qin Fen was fully devoted to the book of “Wu”. At this moment, there was no need to control the true energy in his body. They were beating and vibrating with the small figure’s meridian in the book!
It was clearly just a book, but Qin Fen had a feeling of being led by a master that night. The true energy in his body was “alive”!
This was a kind of resonance that could only be felt when one was able to understand it! Qin Fen had forgotten everything, and the hands and feet kept moving along with the little figures in the book.
Bai Sheng closed his eyes and felt everything around Qin Fen’s room. He listened to the punch and the kick that sent out the true energy waves in the room.
There was a little admiration from his smile, the oscillation of the true energy had strict requirements on control power. In the past, the ten-star him did not have control as strong as this little eight-star.
Zhao Huzi leaned against the wall and felt the power of Qin Fen’s fist and kick next door. He held a cup of Erguotou and poured it into his throat. The hot heat hit the inside of his mouth along the esophagus, which made the general feel refreshed.
“Infrared cannot penetrate the curtains in Qin Fen’s room.”
“The anti-volume detector is placed near Qin Fen’s room…”
“Can’t get close to Qin Fen’s room…”
Vortex Tiger looked at the information sent by each of the teams. His fingers tapped his chin curiously. The protection of East Asia seemed to be too strict? There was no such secrecy in the past few days. What were they doing?
The night passed quickly and the sun had already risen to the horizon.
The African teams responsible for monitoring Qin Fen had already retreated. Vortex Tiger still couldn’t understand what Qin Fen was doing last night.
Pushing open the door, Qin Fen wasn’t too surprised to see Bai Sheng coming from the other end of the hallway.
“Good morning.”
The two people were ten meters apart, Qin Fen bowed deeply at his elder.
“Yep.”
Bai Sheng’s face was like usual as he passed by Qin Fen. The index and middle fingers reached out and caught the “Wu” book in Qin Fen’s arms.
There was no dialogue. There was also no need for too many words of thanks. Sometimes, the true way of gratitude between men wasn’t a thank you said verbally.
Qin Fen once again faced the back of Bai Sheng, who was not too tall. He once again bowed deeply, and the voice of Bai Sheng came to his ear, “Fight well, I will leave after watching the tournament today.”
“Okay.”
Qin Fen straightened his spine and walked toward the canteen. Today was the event of the top sixteen entering the top eight. This event could be said to be a cruel process in the competition for every young recruit.
For the audience, the cruel and unpredictable competitions were the most interesting ones.
In the stadium of eighty thousand people, the seats were already all been filled by the time of Qin Fen’s breakfast. Many people even entered the arena with standing tickets.
On the huge projection screen, the sixteen recruits today were displayed repeatedly. Out of all the recorded videos of the competition during the top sixty-four and top thirty-two, the video of Qin Fen was most attractive.
Besides Qin Fen, another attractive video was Xue Tian’s, the young man who reached the promotion easily after two competitions. After the promotion, that murderous “Thousand Knives Break Mountains and Rivers” became one of the segments with the highest replay rate.
A few sub-screens next to the main screen were also showing the recruits’ odds of the Recruit Tournament’s top sixteen.
As Xue Tian was the recruit for the first fight, his name appeared at the top of the odds. However, his odds were hard to understand.
In the odds before using “Thousand Knives Broke Mountains and Rivers”, Xue Tian’s winning odds were only one to one point one five, and the odds of losing were two.
After he used “Thousand Knives Broke Mountains and Rivers”, his odds of winning turned into one to two, and the odds of defeat became one to one point five.
Many people doubted if the organizing committee this time had made a mistake in the odds and went to ask. It turned out that the answer to that was that the organizing committee did not make any mistake.
A large number of viewers couldn’t guess what on earth was going on. When Xue Tian hadn’t released his ability, the organizing committee was still very optimistic about Xue Tian’s victory. Yet after Xue Tian used his finishing move as a provocation, the organizing committee was no longer optimistic about his victory? They all thought that he will be defeated.
As people were puzzled, some people broke out with a shocking inside story. One of the audience saw Xue Tian taking thousands worth of banknotes to the betting station last night and bet on himself to lose!
The conference did not prohibit the participating martial artists from betting. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, any slightly sophisticated man would not lose the competition on purpose just to make a little bit out of the bet.
Of course, Xue Tian was an exception! At this point, anyone who had seen Xue Tian in the competition knew that this man, if put nicely, had a kind of dexterity and was not afraid of any secular vision.
If put it in a straightforward way, Xue Tian’s face was not just the usual kind of thick. This kind of loss in a competition simply to make money… even though others couldn’t do it, he could.
The members of the organizing committee at the betting station looked helplessly at the odds of Xue Tian on the big screen. This young man brought out the last coin on his body to bet on his own loss. The only thing left was for him to take off his underwear on the spot and bet it as well.
With such a bold approach, who dared to make his odds of losing to be one to two?
As soon as the news came out, more people went to bet Xue Tian’s loss, and the organizing committee had no choice but to modify the odds of Xue Tian again. The odds of his defeat ended up to be only one to zero point three five, while the odds of him winning had rushed to an astonishing value of one to five.
Sky Splitter Brooks entered the stadium, saw the odds on the screen and was shocked. These odds were indeed too shocking.
Qin Fen stared at Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota at the corner of the stands. They both shook their heads repeatedly. Old Enz was badly influenced by Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian.
Bai Sheng also looked at the projection screen in the same way, What happened to the odds? Sky Splitter Brooks was a very strong young man, but Furious Beheader, Xue Tian was similar to Brooks. He had received an invitation from Sacred Martial Hall.
So strange! Bai Sheng looked at Brooks, who was sitting on the player’s seat. This young man received an invitation he personally sent. Although his strength was not as amazing as that of Qin Fen, he was also a good seedling.
However, this did not mean that Brooks would definitely win Xue Tian! Bai Sheng remembered, although Xue Tian was not invited by him personally, from the information at the time, today’s battle should be a fierce battle rather than one overwhelming side.
There was a cheer from the audience, and Bai Sheng realized that the target the audience cheered at was Qin Fen.
After so many days of the Recruit Tournament, even though Qin Fen may not be the favorite recruit of the audience, his popularity had indeed reached the peak.
Especially yesterday, when he carried the thunderstorm which weighed a ton. He was like a barbarian from a fantasy novel who used the most violent and the most direct way to kill the most elite recruit from America. He even forced them to forfeit.
Even Caesar and the others’ cheering girl group had paid more attention to him. This guy was not very handsome at first glance, but another look at him would show that he still had the masculine aura of an East Asia recruit.
Qin Fen was also shocked by the cheers. He looked at the enthusiastic audience on both sides of the passage. He nodded and walked out of the passage quickly.
Brush brush brush!
Hundreds of sharp eyes came from all different directions. Under the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere, a dignified atmosphere of depression was added.
Qin Fen’s eyes looked forward as he walked, enjoying the hostile gaze of the recruits from various continents and sat firmly in his seat.
Among hundreds of hostile eyes, a few eyes suddenly flashed with surprised.
Caesar squinted his eyes into a line as he looked at Qin Fen. His slender eyelashes twitched gently as he curiously voiced, “Yi?”
Almost at the same time, Brooks, Yang Lie, Solomon and others also squinted their eyes and stared at Qin Fen.
Was this an illusion? Caesar fell into deep thought for a moment. Why was there a feeling that this man had suddenly become stronger?
Bai Sheng nodded slightly. It seemed that Qin Fen did grasp a lot of the essence from the “Wu” book that night.
Lin Ling continued to stare at the stadium without being bothered to see if the next opponent had changed. It seemed that everything in the world had nothing to do with her.
With this firmness alone, in the eyes of other young martial artists, the beating of their hearts followed. How could anyone ignore the current Qin Fen? What kind of mentality and strength would you need?
Brooks’ eyes collided with Yang Li’s confused eyes. Did he deliberately release a powerful aura of power to oppress others? To increase his own aura of power?
“Wei!” Xue Tian’s high-pitched voice interrupted the speculation of many masters, “Brooks, others’ worry about Old Qin is still reasonable. They all have the opportunity to meet Old Qin after all. But you don’t need to worry about Old Qin’s problem. Today, you will stop at the top sixteen.”
The American recruits all stood up suddenly at once. Dozens of angry eyes seemed to want to make holes in the body of Xue Tian.
“Stop at the top sixteen?” Brooks left the seat slowly and straightened his chest, “Xue Tian, do you know what was the title others gave me? Sky Splitter!”
Xue Tian smiled, his eyes turned into two beautiful crescents. He spun his katana gently in his palm. “My sky isn’t that easy to open.”
Pretty smile! Even from the opponent’s point of view, Brooks had to admit that Xue Tian’s smile was very beautiful. His smile had a hint of slyness and a hint of pride.
“Really?” Brooks spread open his arms slowly. The lazy gesture caused the screams of countless young girls in the stands suddenly. The sound of a dislocated bone could slowly be heard, and the ten fingers contracted towards the palm. The air was caught as if a lighter was smashed onto a wall to make a sound of an explosion.
