It was the last day of the Martial Examination.

Among the first to return was Lu Zhuo.

When he saw Bai Qiuye, he immediately went forth to incite him. Never could he have imagined that Bai Qiuye was already seeking trouble with Qin Mu, so it turned out just right.

Lu Zhuo directly pointed Bai Qiuye toward a literary duel.

With the Myriad Sword Pavilion and the Bai family's Cultivation Technique as backing,

Qin Mu, a newly Awakened kid, even if his talent was Heaven-Defying, a literary duel would be a dead end!

A Mentalist also needs diligent practice! And guidance!

Qin Mu had been tied up with lawsuits these past few days, couldn't go to the martial arts hall, and had no teacher to guide him. No one knew all this better than Lu Zhuo.

Bai Qiuye was definitely going to win, no doubt about it!

Even if he couldn't kill Qin Mu, he had to find a way to make Qin Mu look bad, collect some interest, and vent his Qi!

He didn't expect that.

Ling Qianxue actually dared to open a private betting house, and it was perfect to take them down!

Perfect!

.Outside the examination hall.

Zhang Wei had, at one point, suggested canceling the drone surveillance, but eventually it couldn't be removed.

The martial arts competition between Bai Qiuye and Qin Mu, with the opening of betting by Ling Group,

immediately allowed all of the onlookers to try to win their money back.

"Bai Qiuye won't lose this time, will he?"

"Damn it!

"I bet a year's savings, just to earn enough for an extra meal, who the hell knew Bai Qiuye would lose? His points were less than a newly Awakened Qin Mu's?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"Bai Qiuye will definitely win this time."

"Oh? How so?"

"Tsk, this time it is a literary duel, not a martial duel!

"A literary duel with a Mentalist, five flying blades, a maze of projections. This tests the basic skills of a Mentalist and has little to do with the Rank of the Mentalist.

What it tests is the Mentalist's ability to control Flying Blades.

"No one has seen the Mentalist's basic skills, but if you have, you'll find there's only one name on the author list: Bai Ming!

Hiss!!!

A gasp of surprise immediately rose from the venue.

"White Sword Sect!?"

"Holy crap!"

"The Mentalist Cultivation Technique was written by his grandfather; Bai Qiuye has practiced for half a year, how could he possibly lose?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Everyone agreed and immediately opened their smart system devices to place bets.

"What the heck?

"The odds are so low again?"

"Sigh, no choice, the Lu family just bet 1 billion, and the odds plummeted."

"Let's get a piece of the action, even if it means taking out a loan, at least we can win some back."

"Double down! Double down directly! Bet, ten thousand times! Just bet everything!

.Front row.

Martial Examination Department.

Many forces watched Ling Qianxue open the betting and felt both annoyed and amused.

"This Ling family girl is truly. audacious!

First to burst out laughing was Wu Zhiming.

Everyone knew this was illegal, yet nobody said a thing to try to stop it.

Only Bai Qingyan felt puzzled.

Didn't she ask Addressing Bai Qiuye to recruit him?

Why did he go to a competition instead?

Bullying him?

That's right!

First, let Qin Mu know the Mentalist advantage of Myriad Sword Pavilion, then it would be easier to recruit him.

"Everyone, the Ling family's Second Young Miss is young and lacks discretion. If she wins, that's fine, but if she loses, she doesn't even have a place to hedge her bets, so she might lose quite badly."

Huh?

"Ling Group is able to afford this amount of money. We should always teach young people a lesson; let her know that this kind of work isn't so easy."

Everyone seemed to want to see a joke.

These past few days, even Zeng Zhan of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance had clarified things.

He knew the Ling family's Second Young Miss was the one who, with prior knowledge of the Mentalist news, had bet on Qin Mu and earned the big sum of 2 billion.

"Oh? Is the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance not planning to help?"

Everyone thought that the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance would step in to restrain the betting and allow Ling Qianxue to lose less, but instead, they were going to deal a harsh blow to Ling Qianxue.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to place our bets," Bai Qingyan said jokingly.

"No problem," Zeng Zhan said, extending his hands. "I've already spoken to the CEO of Ling Group, and he won't interfere."

This kind of opportunity to fleece someone.

Of course, no one would let it go. Low odds didn't matter, just bet a lot!

It was tens of millions at a time.

However, no one bet over a hundred million, which was one way of saving some face.

Guo Youwei did not have money, otherwise he would probably have joined in, too.

"Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu, this time I really can't help you. What's more, it doesn't matter even if you lose. After all, it's not your money."

.Outside the city.

More and more examinees returned.

On the open ground.

The competition venue had also been cleared.

Ling Qianxue's face turned solemn: "Wood, it looks like the situation is getting worse. The other side's bets are going to go past 2 billion! Your side, on the other hand, only has a bit more than 60 million.

"If we lose, we'll have to pay about 2.5 billion!

"It's all that Lu Zhuo's fault, he's too ruthless. The opening odds were 1 : 2, automatic, and he took all the maximum odds!"

2.5 billion!

This was Ling Qianxue's entire fortune.

Of which she had borrowed four hundred million from her family.

"You're a bookie? And you can still lose?"

Qin Mu was genuinely exasperated with this school beauty: "You've got to be kidding me! What kind of odds have you adjusted?"

"Even if we take a step back-if you really bet too much, can't you hedge? Use the client's money and bet it on other bookmakers!"

Ling Qianxue shook her head: "Of course, I know how to hedge, but there are no other bookmakers outside. I checked, no one has opened this book, neither the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance nor the black market!

"By rights, the black market would definitely open one. The fact that it didn't this time must mean that someone pulled strings behind the scenes."

Suddenly.

Ling Qianxue suddenly stood up. She realized that things weren't as simple as she thought they were a moment before. It wasn't just the people here who were watching the Martial Examination.

"Oh no!

"It seems we've offended the black market, which means offending the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance that's supporting them? They want to see us lose money!

Wuwuwu~

Really, Ling Qianxue was about to cry.

"It was originally just to earn some extra money, but now. now it seems I'm going to lose money~"

Qin Mu rolled his eyes at her: "You were so arrogant just now? And now you're admitting defeat?

"Wood~!" Immediately, Ling Qianxue raised her head, her watery eyes fixed on Qin Mu: "You must win, all my pocket money depends on you~!

"Get lost, get lost. You're stupid and won't admit it. Next time, don't come asking me to partner up with you." Qin Mu couldn't be bothered with her.

He walked straight on to the open ground.

The time was also almost up.

Bai Qiuye, with his arms crossed and standing in the center of the arena, opened his eyes: "Ready? Then let's begin?

Qin Mu nodded: "What were the rules again?

Pfft!

Everyone immediately burst out laughing:

Brother, you prepared for so long just now, and did not even ask about the rules?

Lu Zhuo sneered, "He doesn't even look at the rules, his arrogance knows no bounds. Does he really think he's an invincible Mentalist?"

Seeing this, Ling Qianxue quickly walked over, groaning inwardly.

"I was so busy looking at the odds just now that I forgot to tell Wood the rules, and I didn't even let him practice the maze first?

"Now we're doomed!!"

"Wuwuwu, my pocket money~~"

"The 2 billion I just earned - before it even reached my hands, is it already lost?

Sigh!

Ling Qianxue felt a silent sigh. Whatever she said now wouldn't help; after all, it was all her fault for being too young.

She reached out and tapped the projection.

Ten winding and complex mazes appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Speed-limited maze, maximum Dominator Rank 1 speed."

"It tests the Mentalist's basic Dominator ability. Five Flying Blades must enter the maze simultaneously and clear the levels together.

The fastest maze and the slowest maze cannot have more than a 10% difference in progress; otherwise, there is a penalty of 10 seconds.

In short.

It was multitasking with five tasks.

Even distribution.

If one could fully control five Flying Blades, then they would have an absolute advantage, but that did not mean they would definitely win.

Since the maze was highly complex, it tested more subtle control.

It was the detailed dominator ability over flying blades that created the difference in Mentalist combat.

Flying Blade Mental Energy that was reasonably distributed could greatly increase the probability of success in actual combat.

This was the most common rule in Mentalist competitions.

In the air.

A three-second countdown appeared in front of Qin Mu and Bai Qiuye simultaneously.

Both sides' five Flying Blades were also ready at the maze entrance. 3! 2! 1! Begin!
