Chapter 987
The fourth round of the Martial Arts competition began, with three matches held in the morning, resulting in the leader of Xuanjian Sect, Jin Yi, and the Female Sword Immortal each winning and successfully advancing to the next round.
Many people couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise because this round of the competition was truly unexpected. First, there was Jin Yi’s age; people in Martial Arts had never seen someone so young continuously defeat so many Martial Arts masters and break through to this point.
Then there was the Female Sword Immortal, who was also quite rare in people’s eyes. After all, men have a natural advantage in martial training, and yet a woman had managed to carve out her own space in this male-dominated world.
The last one was the most bizarre, being the weakest in Martial Arts and lacking in strength, yet still managing to fight his way up to this point.
Now, everyone’s topic of conversation was the match scheduled for the afternoon, where Gu Fan would face off against Northern Desert Sword’s Jiang Tie.
Actually, many people thought that it was already miraculous for Gu Fan to have reached the third round of the competition, and that he likely couldn’t win this time. However, this view didn’t stop the crowd’s enthusiasm for betting on him to win, after all, they had witnessed Heavenly Thunder assist him and help him defeat his opponent.
The leader of Xuanjian Sect was very calm, believing that Gu Fan couldn’t possibly defeat his opponent in a fair and straightforward match. And with those rules set in place, any minor incidents could only be dealt with after the competition ended, by which time he could earn a hefty sum.
"A bunch of fools, still daring to bet on Gu Fan winning even now, completely nonsensical." Just as the leader of Xuanjian Sect was feeling smug, suddenly the main bookmaker came running over in a fluster. The panic on his face immediately made the leader’s heart tighten: "What’s happened, seeing you in such a panic?"
The main bookmaker, panting heavily from his run, couldn’t even bother to rest: "It’s bad, leader, for some reason, a lot of people are betting on Northern Desert Sword’s Jiang Tie to win, and some are even betting on both Gu Fan and Northern Desert Sword."
