My Master Knows It All-Chapter 536 - 187_3

Of course, even though gaining more Golden Cores doesn’t directly increase their number, the strength of the other Golden Cores will become stronger, especially when one has nine Golden Cores, this increase in power becomes more evident. At the Perfect Completion Golden Core level, there will be a qualitative change, so one can’t calculate it too simplistically.

However, after making such a comparison, I feel that Peak Master Cao truly has a good chance of taking the final championship."

"I had bet on Peak Master Cao before; with these developments, I might actually have a chance to win."

"I’m doomed; I bet on Star Lord Hao Yue yesterday. It was at the Xing Kui Betting Shop, the odds were one to three. I was secretly thrilled at the time, but now..."

"Now, it seems that Star Lord Hao Yue still has a greater chance of coming in first. Of course, if Peak Master Cao can break through again today, then it’s hard to say."

"Yesterday, the odds for Peak Master Cao must have been incredibly high. If someone bet on him yesterday, then... wouldn’t they have made a fortune?"

"I checked yesterday, the odds for Peak Master Cao at the Xing Kui Betting Shop hadn’t changed, but the odds at the Tongbao Gambling House were one to ten."

"One to ten? How can they be so low?" someone asked full of curiosity. "Logically, since it had been confirmed yesterday that Peak Master Cao was at the Core Formation Stage, his odds should have been extremely high.

The unchanged odds at the Xing Kui Betting Shop are understandable. After all, I’ve heard that Yi Sheng, a disciple of Peak Master Cao, is the chairman of the Xing Kui Business Association, which is affiliated with the Xing Kui Betting Shop.

Perhaps, the Xing Kui Betting Shop has inside information, which is why they didn’t raise Peak Master Cao’s odds. But then, why did the Tongbao Gambling House set such low odds? They should have been at least one to fifty."

"Who knows why they’re so low. Maybe they saw that the Xing Kui Betting Shop didn’t adjust Peak Master Cao’s odds, so the Tongbao Gambling House, being cautious, didn’t raise them too high either. It could also be possible that..."

"They want to make money. With the Xing Kui Betting Shop not offering high odds, all they had to do was offer odds slightly higher than theirs, and naturally, more people would place their bets on Peak Master Cao at their establishment.

Just a bit higher would do the trick. The reason for the tenfold odds is probably because there are other betting shops in the Capital City, so they raised it to ten times.

As for the higher multiples, after all, Peak Master Cao has Great Ability, no one knows if he has a backup plan, so too high an odds also carries a risk. The gambling house setting Peak Master Cao’s odds to ten times yesterday was already quite high.

It seems that today, the betting shop’s odds must have come down."

The odds at a betting shop aren’t fixed; they are constantly changing with different pieces of news.

At the Tongbao Gambling House, the owner sat alone in a room at this moment, looking at the flow of people outside the window, his face a shade of iron blue.

Cao Zhen had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, with six distinct phenomena Golden Cores, no less, and his combat power was incredibly terrifying, easily overwhelming someone with eight layers of Golden Core and five phenomena.

Upon receiving this news, he swiftly adjusted the odds for two individuals: one for Cao Zhen and one for Star Lord Hao Yue.

Now, he had adjusted Star Lord Hao Yue’s odds to one to two, while Cao Zhen’s odds were also one to two.

The odds for the two reincarnated Great Abilities had been adjusted to the same level for the first time.

Both were reincarnated Great Abilities, and even if Cao Zhen’s combat power displayed today was strong and terrifying, Star Lord Hao Yue was at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, while Cao Zhen only had six phenomena Golden Cores.

Even though Cao Zhen’s Golden Cores were special, with unique methods, did that mean Star Lord Hao Yue, also a reincarnated Great Ability, had no special techniques of his own?

Thus, no matter how one looked at it, Star Lord Hao Yue seemed stronger.

The reason he adjusted the odds for both to the same level was that many people believed that since Cao Zhen could break through to the sixth layer of Golden Core in a single day, he might continue to make breakthroughs.

These people wanted to take a chance and bet that Cao Zhen would make another breakthrough, so they bet on him.

And he, he too feared that Cao Zhen really might continue to break through, and so, he had no choice but to level the odds for Cao Zhen and Star Lord Hao Yue.

Truth be told, those people didn’t bet too much, and even if Cao Zhen really won the championship, this Immortal Striving Assembly would still be a sure profit for him.

The key was yesterday!

Because of the Immortal Striving Assembly, their betting shop was open for business for all twelve hours of the day.

And last night, suddenly, a mysterious person came to their betting shop and placed a terrifyingly large sum on Cao Zhen to win.

At that time, Cao Zhen’s odds were ten times!

If Cao Zhen really wins, then this Immortal Striving Assembly will not just be a matter of not making money for the Tongbao Gambling House; they don’t even know how much money they will have to pay out!

That sum was just too, too large!

"Who in the world would bet that much? Even Yi Qiancheng couldn’t come up with that much money. After all, although Yi Qiancheng is wealthy, he is known as having subdued the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty because he deals in silver taels used by mortals, not Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals.

Moreover, Yi Qiancheng needs Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals to stock up goods and for circulation; he can’t produce that many Spirit Crystals either.

Only the Ten Great Immortal Sects or the Scholar Dao Sect would be able to produce such an amount of Spirit Crystals... If it were the Ten Great Immortal Sects, could it be someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect who placed the bet?"

The owner of the Tongbao Gambling House sighed deeply. Now, all he could do was hope, hope that Cao Zhen would not break through again, and that Star Lord Hao Yue would eventually win the championship, otherwise, he was really going to suffer a disastrous loss this time.
