Chapter 494 – Tactics Arrangement : Nana
Defeating the sixth years immediately wasn’t a dream anymore.
More importantly, he didn’t have to ask to know that the odds for the last round would be huge. It would definitely be over 1: 1.3*. Although 30 purple emblems were expensive, as long as the odds were good, it wouldn’t be a problem to earn them back.
For these two matches, as well as the Heaven and Earth treasures that he bought for Tang Yuge, he still had 80 purple emblems left. He was earning fast and spending fast! And this didn’t include the use of the Vermillion Fruits for his future cultivation.
But Lan Xuanyu still underestimated how scary the odds were. When he went to the Gambling Center the next day to check the odds, he was shocked.
The sixth years’ win, 1: 0.1. The first years’ win, 1: 3.
That’s right, this was the odds they were about to face. This match was said to be the one with the least bets. If someone placed a bet on the sixth years, even if they won, they wouldn’t gain much. The first years had created a miracle before, what if there was a miracle? And if they placed their bets on the first years, it was almost destined to fail. Naturally, no one placed their bets on this.
Hence, the number of people betting and the amount of money for this match had hit a new low.
1 to 3, 1 to 3. Lan Xuanyu’s mind was filled with these odds.
If it was 1 to 3, if they won…
In the end, reason overcame impulse. He secretly bet 50 purple emblems on the first years and left 30 purple emblems for bribing the honest youth.
He originally wanted to stake it all, but he was worried about what might happen if he failed. Just like what he said, honesty was a very important thing. Leaving behind these 30 purple emblems meant that even if they lost, they would be able to return to their original state. Now that he didn’t have the pressure of a loan, he had at least already earned a hundred thousand-year Purple Immortal Ganoderma ! It wouldn’t be too much of a loss, but if he won, he would have enough money to make Battle Armors and other cultivation resources for the next year.
Hence, after weighing the pros and cons, he placed a bet of 50 purple emblems and kept with him 33 purple emblems and some yellow and white emblems.
The worst case scenario would be three purple emblems left. He had a lot of rare metals now and didn’t have to worry much about the future.
After everything that happened last night, the odds changed once again. From 1 to 3, it became 1 to 1.5. There were simply too few people placing bets. With his large sum of money, the odds increased substantially for his side. But this was no longer important to Lan Xuanyu. What was important was to work hard and cultivate. Even improving a little more was good.
It wasn’t until the evening of the second day that he called his teammates, who were about to participate in the final match, to his dorm and told them about the tactics for the last battle.
And in the final battle, he would be leading the team, including everyone from the previous battle plus Liu Feng.
Initially, he had planned to let Qian Lei go on stage. After all, Qian Lei had never appeared in the previous matches. But considering that condition of persevering for a minute, Liu Feng, who was extremely fast, was undoubtedly more suitable. At least he could run! He could widen the distance between them. As long as he could hold on for a minute, they would definitely win.
“One minute? You really only need one minute? Boss, how did you do it?” Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu curiously.
Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, “A magician never reveals his tricks. I can’t say it, I can’t say it.” He couldn’t tell everyone that he had bribed his senior.
“Our strategy is like this…” Lan Xuanyu was about to plan for the last battle when suddenly, a voice came from upstairs. “If you really want to stall for time and fight, I’m afraid you guys won’t be able to last a minute.”
Everyone looked up in surprise and saw a silver-haired Nana walking down.
Dong Qianqiu exclaimed in surprise, “Teacher, you’re here!”
When the others saw Nana, they were stunned, regardless of gender.
Nana was simply too beautiful. She was dressed in a light purple dress that complemented her smooth silver hair. She had fair skin, rosy cheeks, and a pair of big purple eyes that were deep and clear. Her gentle gaze was as gentle as jade as she walked down the stairs like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu naturally had the ability to resist, but this was the first time the others had seen Nana.
Dong Qianqiu was also very beautiful, but compared to Nana, she was just a little girl and had yet to fully display her feminine charm. In their eyes, Nana was perfect and corresponded to its definition for almost every woman.
Seeing the stunned looks on his teammates’ faces, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel pleased. “Let me introduce to everyone, this is my and Qianqiu’s teacher, Nana. You guys can call her Teacher Nana too. I invited Teacher Nana over to guide us.”
Nana had already arrived by their side and Lan Xuanyu quickly pulled a chair over for her to sit.
Nana looked at him with a faint smile and said, “Do you think that you’ve already won?”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned for a moment and said, “Unless they don’t keep their promise. But if they don’t, wouldn’t it be meaningless to make that promise with me? Just a waste of time?”
Nana shook her head and said, “No, it’s not like that. What I want to tell you is that in the face of absolute strength, time is meaningless. One minute is enough to do many things, especially for soul masters. So, if your strategy is to split up and maintain a distance to get through that one minute, then it’s almost impossible for you guys to get through that one minute.”
Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, “Teacher Nana, do you know how strong our opponents are?”
“No need to know,” Nana said. “Just making a judgment is enough. From the disparity in strength between the fourth years and the fifth years, we can determine the gap between the fifth and sixth years. The sixth year opponent that you will be facing will definitely be a Two-Word Battle Armor Master and at least a peak seven-ring or even might be an eight-ring Soul Douluo. If he is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, then he will be able to kill any of you instantly. Whether it is numbers or time, it doesn’t matter.”
“It can’t be, right? Eight rings? One can cultivate from seven rings to eight rings in a year?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a pain in his heart, mainly because of the 50 purple emblems that he had invested! After Nana’s analysis, he realized that one minute wasn’t that good of a deal. He seemed to have been cheated by that seemingly honest guy! No wonder he agreed so readily. But the agreement was already signed.
“Teacher Nana, what should we do?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Nana said, “Faced with an opponent whose strength far surpasses your own, the only way is for all of you to unite and fight with all your might. A single person’s strength might not be able to block his attack and would be insta-killed, but if all six of you work together, the situation will be different.”
As she spoke, she looked at Tang Yuge first. “Can you use that last ability you used that day again? Without igniting your Battle Armor.”
Tang Yuge shook her head silently. “I’m afraid I can’t. If there is not enough energy, my Five Elements Escape Technique can’t go through an attack and merge with it. The reason why I was able to merge with it that day wasn’t only because I ignited my Battle Armor, but also because I had consumed a ten thousand-year Yin Yang Fruit that Xuanyu gave me. The five elements can be divided into Yin and Yang. Originally, my power was not able to combine with the Radiant Elven King’s Arrow, but because of the adjustment from the Yin Yang Fruit, my five elements’ yin and yang were harmonized and my Five Elements Escape Technique was strengthened greatly, only then could I merge with it. As long as it is any of the soul skills of the wood, fire, earth, metal, and water types, I should be able to merge with it. But I can only merge with a skill that is weaker than my Five Elements Divine Light. If it’s stronger, it will be very difficult.”
