This news spread, causing an uproar in the entire Zhongzhou City.
Damn!
I thought it was the actions of the Wanbao Building, but it turns out that it was the Dan Dao City of the Northern Heaven Region that set up this betting scheme. Isn't their confidence a bit too inflated?
The people of Zhongzhou City were all astonished. Where did the Northern Heaven Region get their confidence?
As a result, those who were still hesitating began to place their bets. Didn't the Northern Heaven Region’s Dan Dao City think their contestant would definitely win the championship? Hehe, then I'll bet and see if he can win. If he can't win, I’d like to ask for ten times my bet back.
In just half a day, the betting sales at Wanbao Building had already exploded. The funds betting on Qin Chen losing reached several billion middle-grade true stones in just half a day, far exceeding Kang Sitong's initial expectations.
And this was just half a day; how much would it reach when the competition started in two days?
Kang Sitong was even a bit panicked.
As for betting on Qin Chen winning, there were only a few million middle-grade true stones, which was just a fraction compared to the tens of billions of funds betting against him.
Why?
Is there even a need to ask? The odds of Qin Chen not winning the championship were one to ten, but the odds of him winning were only one to 1.1. In other words, if you bet ten thousand middle-grade true stones and win, you'd only gain one thousand, but if you lose, you'd lose ten thousand. Who would do that?
Moreover, Qin Chen wasn't Ye Mo; who knew where this ghost came from? Would the Northern Heaven Region have a powerful alchemy genius? No one would believe it!
The Northern Heaven Region had been weak for too long. In the entire Tianwu Continent, the Northern Heaven Region was equivalent to a remote, impoverished area, a place where it was said that even high-grade true stones were hard to find. How could a genius emerge from such a place?
Of course, the impulsive ones were few in number. The vast majority of people were quite shrewd. As soon as they learned about the betting situation, they called upon various connections to inquire about Qin Chen's background.
The influence of these people was unimaginable to ordinary individuals. Within just a day, all information regarding Qin Chen had spread, and almost everyone in Zhongzhou City had a copy.
Looking at the information in their hands, the people of Zhongzhou City were all taken aback, their faces showing astonishment.
I must say, this Qin Chen was indeed not an unknown figure.
Although he was from the Northern Heaven Region's Alchemy Pavilion, his talent in alchemy was truly impressive.
It was rumored that he was originally just a talented alchemist under the Northern Heaven Region and was not the Holy Son of the Northern Heaven Region's Dan Dao City. However, not long ago, he forcefully challenged the position of Holy Son, causing quite a stir, and consecutively defeated two vice pavilion masters of the Northern Heaven Region's Dan Dao City.
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing this news, everyone couldn't help but draw a breath. This Qin Chen was indeed impressive.
It was rumored that the two vice pavilion masters of the Northern Heaven Region's Dan Dao City were both mid-level seventh-grade Elixir Kings, and their alchemical skills were even close to the peak of the mid-level. Yet, in the confrontation with Qin Chen, they ended up losing one after another, even leading to the fall of one of the vice pavilion masters.
This… It must be said that even those who looked down upon the Northern Heaven Region couldn't help but give Qin Chen a thumbs up.
It was said that during that competition, Qin Chen even refined a mid-level seventh-grade king elixir. At such a young age, being able to refine a mid-level seventh-grade king elixir, the talent in alchemy could only be described with one word—strong!
Moreover, in the Lingyao talent test of the Fengyun Dan Garden, Qin Chen ranked first in the Northern Heaven Region's Alchemy Pavilion with a score of ninety layers. Currently, only two people ranked higher than him—one was Master Ye Mo from the Eastern Continent with a score of ninety-four layers, and the other was Yan Chidao from the Southern Hua Region with a score of ninety-two layers.
