He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

The preliminary rounds have all concluded.

After a chaotic battle of 144 players advancing to the semi-finals, 36 players ultimately qualified.

This year's Luo Tian Grand Ceremony attracted far more participants than in the original story, and the competition was exceptionally fierce, perhaps due to the generous prize money or Qin Yun's promise to "owe someone a favor."

The four arenas fought almost from dawn until late afternoon before all thirty-six spots were finally decided.

Rong Shan, a disciple of Longhu Mountain and the person in charge of this Luotian Grand Ceremony, took the stage and loudly announced the list of those who advanced.

Each time a name was called, cheers or murmurs erupted from the audience.

Zang Long and Bai Shixue, who had opened betting odds outside, also began to secretly calculate the odds and lock in the betting odds based on the performance in the preliminary rounds.

From this moment on, no more money can be put into the betting pool, otherwise Zang Long and his companion will not make any money.

Leaving aside the dark horse that might win the championship, Zhang Chulan's outstanding performance has pushed his odds to an extremely high level.

One to one hundred times the original price!

This is practically the same as a direct slap in the face.

Logically speaking, Zang Long's betting odds are definitely the easiest way to achieve financial freedom by traversing the world of one person.

Many time travelers have done this before.

With no upper limit for now, if you invest 10,000, you can earn 1 million. If you invest 1 million, that's a small goal!

However, because Lu Lin and Liu Yanyan are participating in the competition, even with the interference of the Old Master, Qin Yun doesn't think Zhang Chulan will be able to win the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony smoothly.

Compared to Zhang Chulan, Qin Yun still placed his bets on Liu Yanyan.

Not much, only one million. Even if she wins the championship, Liu Yanyan will only get ten million at most, far less than Zhang Chulan.

Although the amount isn't huge, it's enough to support his mistress for a while.

As for Liu Yanyan, who performed only moderately well in the preliminary rounds, will she be able to win the championship in the end...?

Just kidding, if Qin Yun doesn't trust Liu Yanyan, does he not trust Ao Bai?

Even if she were to face a junior in the finals, or even if she were to face ten veteran-level experts in the finals, Liu Yanyan might still lose!

It's practically free money, why wouldn't you take it?

……

After reading out the list, Rong Shan then announced the competition rules.

Thirty-six people fought one-on-one against each other to determine the top eighteen, then the top nine, and finally the top three.

If there is a single person, there will be a bye.

Without a doubt, that thing was specially prepared for Zhang Chulan by the Old Master!

What fairness and impartiality, what inside story... Don't forget, this is Longhu Mountain!

Given the old master's personality, what wouldn't he do!

In addition, to ensure the participants have a good time and to guarantee their safety as much as possible, Rongshan emphasized three points of attention after announcing the list.

First, if a player concedes defeat, loses the ability to fight (becomes unconscious/severely injured and unable to fight), or is deemed ineligible to fight by the referee, he or she will be directly disqualified, and the victor will not be allowed to continue attacking!

Second, intentionally causing death or serious injury is not allowed. The referee has the right to stop the competition or disqualify the contestant.

Third, it does not limit the use of supernatural techniques such as cultivation methods, weapons, talismans, spirits, or object manipulation.

In other words, as long as it's not premeditated murder, any means are acceptable!

After the supplementary rules were read out, the most exciting part was the lottery!

The lottery tube was shaken, and the slips of paper collided randomly. The thirty-six finalists stepped forward one by one to draw a slip.

As the draw slips flew around, the matchups were announced one by one on the bulletin board, and each time a match was announced, a murmur of discussion arose from the audience.

Perhaps due to the world's corrective power, Zhang Chulan once again faced off against Shan Shitong, who was known as the God of Azure Talismans.

The Dan family's lineage of talismans is quite renowned in the world of supernatural beings.

Its specialty is using talismans to seal people's energy channels and lock their vital energy, which is somewhat similar to the sealing talisman in the Tongtian Lu.

The methods are subtle and difficult to deal with. Once the talisman is attached to the opponent's body, their vital energy will be sealed layer by layer, and they will be unable to exert any strength.

During the preliminary rounds, all three of the three extraordinary individuals who faced the top-ranked Shi Tong were defeated due to exhaustion.

It was precisely because of this battle that the Azure Talisman God Shan Shitong suddenly became famous!

"Holy crap, he's got his eye on you!"

"Hehe, I've really had a lot of bad luck on my life!"

Seeing that Shan Shitong was looking in their direction, Feng Xingtong couldn't help but slap Zhang Chulan on the back, signaling him to be a little more careful.

Qin Yun glanced at the list and understood immediately.

Given Zhang Chulan's personality, in order to avoid revealing his true abilities and save his ultimate move for the finals, he would catch his opponents off guard.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Chulan will probably drag Feng Baobao along again tonight to quietly do something "big".

They would most likely take advantage of the dark of night to secretly bury Shan Shitong, preventing him from even stepping onto the stage the next day.

Feng Baobao's opponent is Xiao Xiao, who has mastered the art of exhaling qi!

Xiao Xiao was dressed in a long robe and holding a fan, looking at first glance like a crosstalk performer.

However, despite Xiao Xiao's unassuming appearance, his methods are by no means weak!

Blow out!

This is a technique that can temporarily expel the opponent's soul from their body using a special method; it is extremely strange.

In ancient times, during the era of the Investiture of the Gods, the ones who cultivated their breathing techniques to a state of perfection were Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, who were known as the Heng and Ha Generals!

However, this is in contrast to someone like Feng Baobao, who is not quite normal but whose soul and body are incredibly pure.

Whether Xiao Xiao's unique skill will be effective is really hard to say.

Just like in the original story, Wang Ye faced off against Iron Monkey.

One is a lazy Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, and the other is a privately trained master of external martial arts. One is gentle and the other is tough, making it a contest worth looking forward to.

Zhuge Qing faced Hong Bin, known as the Little Fire God of the Huode Sect. The Zhuge family had been borrowing the wind for over a thousand years, and suddenly encountering someone who played with fire could be considered fate.

The rest of the matchups are largely the same as in the original work, and Zhang Lingyu, Lu Linglong, Feng Xingtong, and others are all included.

The only thing that surprised Qin Yun was that Lu Lin, who had also made it into the top 32, was drawn to face Jia Zhengliang, the biggest dark horse of the competition.

Unlike Jia Zhengyu, who is a useless snack and can only control three dragon-pecking cones, Jia Zhengliang's skill in manipulating objects is truly superb.

Not only can it control twelve Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives simultaneously, covering both close and long-range attacks, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, judging from his performance in the preliminary rounds, his physical skills are quite good.

Although Lu Lin was trained by Lu Jin since childhood and had previously received the Reverse Life Profound Heaven technique personally taught by Qin Yun, she has a solid foundation.

But no matter what, practical experience is still limited.

Facing Jia Zhengliang head-on, this match doesn't look easy.

Liu Yanyan, on the other hand, drew the Sand Swallow.

On the viewing platform, Lu Jin glanced at the match list and smiled at Qin Yun, saying, "Sect Leader, neither of them has drawn an easy opponent."

Qin Yun smiled faintly: "Young man, you'll grow faster if you encounter tough opponents."

Flowers grown in a greenhouse cannot withstand the test of wind and rain!
