Chapter 536 Heroes List No. 1
Jiang He assaulted someone inside the Venus Exchange, and his ID above his head quickly turned red, commonly known as a "red name".
If she doesn't report to the Holographic Police Station, her name will remain in red, and soon a sheriff will take Jiang He away.
Jiang He ignored the red name above her head. She knew her situation. Quan Ming had cut in line first, and her actions fell under the category of upholding justice. As long as the name was removed today, it would be fine.
As soon as Zhong Liyu walked to Jiang He's side, all the other cultivators around him suddenly swarmed towards Jiang He's side.
Jiang He looked at the Venus Exchange, which had expanded a hundredfold compared to the Academy Grand Competition. In the past few days, the trading volume of the Sect Grand Competition had accounted for 90% of the venue. Cultivators were coming and going, all of them there to place bets.
Whether it's a competition between academies or sects, the winning academy or sect always attracts everyone's attention.
Before Jiang He even entered the exchange, he overheard people discussing this year's championship team.
The transaction limit for Venus remains at 100 million Star Coins.
As of today, the recruitment for the Xiaoyao Sect has ended, and the total number of recruits has reached exactly one thousand.
The sect competition has an age limit; for the relatively long-lived people of the interstellar world, 40 is considered the prime of life.
As cultivators have longer lifespans, the age limit for the sect competition is set at under 40 years old. Anyone who is over 40 or exactly 40 years old cannot register.
Jiang He handed in all the information. The sect competition will begin tomorrow. On the first day, there will be no competition venue, but rather a gathering similar to a pre-competition speech.
Once the sect competition begins, it will be broadcast live across the entire empire.
The sect competition is a competition within the empire, with a very wide audience. Both cultivators and non-cultivators will watch the live broadcast of the competition.
Before the competition even started, dozens of trending topics had already appeared on social media.
Not to mention the hype surrounding the competition.
With such high popularity, there will naturally be trades when there are matches.
For example, the prize pool launched by the legitimate company Stellar Technology.
It's called a prize pool, but in reality, it's no different from betting on sports.
There are tens of thousands of sects, large and small, participating in the sect competition.
The sect competition is also more exciting than the academy competition. In addition to the final battle for the championship, there is a skills competition for each profession held on the eve of the sect competition.
For example, sword cultivators, magic cultivators, medical cultivators...
Through the competition, 100 cultivators from each profession who stand out among the participating sect cultivators will be listed.
The ranking list for the sect competition is called the Heroes Ranking.
Many cultivators have waited for years just to be on the list. Once they are on the list, the spirit stone reward is a small matter to them; what they really care about is fame.
The list is officially recognized by the empire, and those who make the list represent the strongest of the younger generation.
It is precisely because of the addition of a professional competition that Venus Exchange has opened a large number of pools.
For example, the top-ranked sword cultivator on the list of heroes, the third-ranked magic cultivator on the list of heroes, and the sect that won the sect competition...
When Zhong Liyu asked Jiang He if she was there to place a bet, she nodded decisively.
Jiang He's purpose was clear, and she had a lot more assets at her disposal, so she could easily come up with several hundred million star coins.
Putting everything else aside, Jiang He placed bets on the top-ranked sword cultivators, the second-ranked sword cultivators, the top-ranked magic cultivators, and the winning sects.
Li Xi has handled a great many transactions these days. Just a few days ago, he had never even heard of the Xiaoyao Sect. The transactions he usually handles are all related to the four major sects.
The Lingyun Sect and the Divine Sect, in particular, had the largest number of orders.
Jiang He wasn't the first to bet on the Free and Unfettered Sect, but he was the first to bet on the sect that would win the championship to be the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Jiang He placed bets on extremely high-ranking positions.
Even though Li Xi had never seen Jiang He's current model before, he felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.
Especially after Jiang He finished saying that the winning sect had bet on the Xiaoyao Sect, Li Xi couldn't help but frown.
His predictions for the university and sect competitions over the years have been fairly accurate.
For example, the results of the university competition are relatively stable every four years.
Only one prediction six years ago went astray.
Li Xi remembers that year clearly. Like the cultivator in front of him, there was also a female cultivator who bet 100 million on an academy that had no chance of winning the championship.
That is, the Wanjue Academy. Li Xi remembered that he had tried to persuade them several times, but they remained firm in their choice, as if they knew the final outcome of the competition in advance.
Finally, the academy competition ended, and just as the female cultivator had predicted, Wanjue Academy won first place.
Now, the female cultivator in front of me has an ordinary appearance.
Li Xi was unsure whether he should try to persuade the other party.
The Free and Unfettered Sect is a sect that was temporarily added to the pool this year. It is an unknown sect, and Li Xi is not sure about its strength.
As for fame, Li Xi had never heard of it before this week, so it couldn't be that great.
Jiang He was so determined that Li Xi never had a chance to remind her.
He helped Jiang He complete the process, which took no more than fifty seconds.
Jiang He's betting slip was very clear:
"Long Aotian, the number one sword cultivator on the Heroic List of the Free and Unfettered Sect"
Second on the Sword Cultivator Heroes Ranking: Redwood of the Free and Unfettered Sect
Bai Zhizhou, ranked first on the Array Cultivation Heroes List
Number one on the Danxiu Elite Ranking...
......"
Li Xi couldn't help but read it aloud:
"That's strange, he's too confident."
Could it be that the Free and Unfettered Sect bribed their way into the sect competition? Almost all the top bettors on the Heroes Ranking are from the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Li Xi couldn't help but glance at Jiang He's back several times.
"What happened? Which pool did you throw this person into?"
Li Xi's colleague turned his head and saw that Li Xi had been staring blankly for a long time, muttering something to himself.
"Nothing much, I just felt that this person was a bit strange, every transaction he made was beyond my expectations."
"What's so strange about it? Let me see, huh?"
"Is this person crazy? They're rich and can do whatever they want, just throwing money into the river like that!"
"Right? I don't understand either. Do you know which sect the Free and Unfettered Sect is? Before this, I had never heard of the Free and Unfettered Sect."
"I've heard some of them, but their reputation isn't very good."
Li Xi asked in confusion, "Not a good reputation? How bad is it?"
"Anyway, you can find out with a simple search. This cultivator should be from the Xiaoyao Sect. It's a pity to invest in a sect with little potential."
Li Xi glanced at the names on the transaction slip again, but still didn't recognize any of them.
For the past five years, Long Aotian, Li Ling, and Zhong Liyu have been secretly cultivating, and since they do not belong to any sect, they are unknown to others.
Being unknown means that no matter how strong you are, you won't be ranked in your field.
The number one spot on the Sword Cultivator Heroes Ranking could be held by Li Xicai, Hua Lanzheng, or Wan Qiziye; it can't possibly be this Long Aotian.
There was also Li Ling. He vaguely remembered Bai Zhizhou's name. He vaguely remembered that the head of the Bai family was also named Li Ling. However, the head of the Bai family was born with heterochromia and was highly talented. How could he have entered an unknown small sect?
It's most likely just a case of the same name.
Zhong Liyu looked at Jiang He, who had gone in less than a minute before coming out again, and was quite curious.
The betting happened way too fast. He hesitated for a long time, but Jiang He came out in a minute.
