" Daisy , do you think senior Claus will win this tournament ? "
" Hmm.. I dont know Miki but I can say this much that maybe there are some hidden powerful ones . I cannot help but have such thoughts ..."
" Hmphf. Those people are not a match for senior Claus anyway . Come on Daisy , we have to go or the betting time will end !! "
These two girls were actually the beautiful loli Daisy and her friend Mary . Naturally where there is some big tournament then there will be bets . But the sect has actually permitted such acts and even an official booth managed by an inner court elder was established for this particular tournament . This was a chance for poor to become rich and the participants were slower to bet on themselves
. Out of more hundred thousand outer court disciples only about 10 thousand have applied for this completion. But the lowest cultivation was 8th level Disciple Realm .
The Floating Cloud Showed its prowess as there were at least 10000 disciples who were at 8th level or even stronger . This number was way higher than other sects in northern region . Mary was talking about the betting because she also wanted to earn some quick money but it seems like her senior Claus was the most popular one .
Raven himself was interested in this betting stuff because he would win anyway and earning money on the way did not sound like a bad idea . But he was freaking penniless and other than silver , only spirit stones were the common currency for cultivators . In fact silver was nothing valuable for cultivators after they advance in realms . Much less a low grade spirit stone which was equivalent to thousands of silver , he did not have a single coin to bet .
Right now he was standing outside the only magnificent bering booth but far away from the line because he was too embarrassed of his lack of money . Well who told him to not complete any missions and even not collect beast corpses which could earn him several points. This idiot even killed thousands of beasts but did not bring a single horn back with him . Welll the storage space was too small so he had no choice to only store some meat for food inside it .
Beside him a middle aged man was sitting on a stool reading a novel leisurely. But nobody could guess that this was the highest inner court elder under whom all the inner court elders worked . He liked the idea of gambling so personally set up a stall here . He had noticed Raven who seemed embarrassed for some reason and was hesitating to line up .
" Young man , dont hesitate and bring out some cash . tch.. dont miss on such a good chance to make money ! Youngsters these days truly lack in guts .."
Raven felt a little angry at the elder for belittling him but he could not say anything because it was his own fault that he lacked money. He only had 5 sect points with him right now but nobody would exchange them for silver with him as they were themselves in need of some silver .
" Actually sir the thing is I dont have any money and I dont like the act of borrowing money either. " In the end he thought that this man had aura of the strong on him so it was better to clear the misunderstanding in any case . Raven had fought too many battles in a short time and he is able to sense auras well now even if they are well concealed because beasts were busy ambushing him all the time . If he was not talented then Raven did not know how many times he would have died in the mountains already. Still even he would be helpless if someone powerful like Martial Peak decided to conceal their aura from him because the realm was far from him right now.
" Hmm.. so you dont have money Hahaha.. Kid , you are really good ! Even poor will have one or two silver with them nowadays . Say kid , then why are you even here ? The completion is going to start soon now and from your cultivation you must be participating too ! "
" Cough .. Elder , I just wanted to earn some free money but with only 5 sect points with me its really foolish . See you later then ! "
Raven decided to leave then but the voice of the elder forced him to stop and a huge smile hung up on his face .
" So you are that confident then ? Hahaha.. Okay then . It does not sound like a bad idea to allow gambling of sect points too . So you can leave those puny points with me and come back later . "
Raven managed to hold back his smile because he did not want the elder to guess his confidence and take back his words . The possibility was almost nil but Raven cannot let go of such a good chance to earn sect points. He quickly transfers his 5 sect points to the Booth and quickly dashed away .
' Hehe.. I must thank that elder sometime in future for giving me such a good chance to earn sect points . 5 points - 10 points - 20 points .... Hahaha.. I wonder how much my points will multiply after the competition ends and I win the the whole thing ? '
Raven while having such good thoughts arrived at the main arena and soon picked up a number 180 and the other unfortunate one to pick up the number 180 will have to sacrifice himself this early in the completion because he had the bad luck to encounter Raven as his first opponent..
