Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

After the two sides reached an agreement, they each dispersed in the direction of the martial arts arena. However, after Wang Ye briefly greeted Zhang Chulan, he suddenly blocked Liu Tianci's way.

Liu Tianci stopped, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and asked Wang Ye, "Master, do you have any advice for me?" He admired Wang Ye's abilities, but felt that Wang Ye seemed a little contradictory. He clearly yearned for the tranquility of being out of the world, but was involuntarily involved in the troubles of this world.

Wang also bowed to Liu Tianci and replied respectfully: "I am the King of Wudang Mountain. I have come here today to have a chat with you."

After Liu Tianci returned the gift, he smiled and said, "Master, you know me? Then let's talk on the way."

Wang Ye nodded and directly expressed his doubts: "I once got a divination on Mount Wudang, but when I stepped into this place to divine again, the divination changed. What surprised me even more was that after you came into contact with Zhang Chulan, the divination changed again. Therefore, I curiously want to ask you, who are you? Where did you come from? And why are you here?"

Liu Tianci was slightly startled, then he smiled, as if he was having a contest of wits with Wang Ye: "Master, we are all just chess pieces in this chess game. You came here to find a way to break the game, Zhang Chulan came here to enter this game to seek opportunities, and I just want to jump out of this chess game and pursue true freedom."

Wang Ye frowned slightly, with a probing look in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "You seem to know a lot about this?"

Liu Tianci smiled calmly, first pointed at Zhang Chulan who was not far away, then turned to Wang Ye, and finally nodded to himself gently, explaining:

"We are actually one, but we each have different wishes and pursuits. But our goals are the same. My only wish is to keep my family and friends away from troubles. At the same time, I also want to climb to a higher level to appreciate those unique views."

After hearing this, Wang Ye's face flashed with astonishment. He did not make a sound, but asked silently with his mouth: "You mean, the Eight Wonders?"

Liu Tianci nodded, not intending to deny it. He knew that Wang Ye had a noble character and would not covet anything that did not belong to him. It was estimated that Fenghou Qimen focused on inner peace and detachment. Only by truly looking down on everything and not clinging to anything could one understand its true meaning.

Wang Ye still had the expectation of further conversation with Liu Tianci, but the crowd had already brought him to the center of the martial arts arena. At this time, Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua and others also came one after another, adding some vitality to this already lively place.

Liu Yanyan walked up and asked with concern, "Are you okay? You didn't have any conflict with anyone in the company, did you?" Her tone was full of concern and worry for Liu Tianci.

Liu Tianci smiled slightly and replied: "I am not the kind of reckless man who only relies on brute force. Don't worry, from now on, the company will no longer monitor you." His tone was firm and confident, which made people convinced.

After hearing this, Liu Yanyan nodded gently, as if all this was no big deal to her. She said calmly: "Well, I don't care."

Then, Lu Linglong enthusiastically pulled Liu Tianci up and began to introduce him to other members of the group. She pointed at one of them and said, "This is Bai Shixue. I think you have talked to each other in the group for a while, right?"

Although Liu Tianci had communicated with these group members online, he still felt a little restrained and uncomfortable when facing real-life gatherings, as if he had not yet fully adapted to this face-to-face communication method.

Liu Yanyan, with her social talent, had already become close friends with this group of women, as if she exuded impeccable diplomatic charm.

Lu Linglong turned to Liu Tianci and asked curiously about the strength of these players. It was obvious that she was quite interested in the handicaps of Canglong and the others.

Liu Tianci smiled and responded: "The Jianghu is not just about swords and sabers, it is more about the interweaving of human relationships and worldly wisdom."

After hearing this, Lu Linglong showed a little confusion on her face. Zhi Jinhua explained to her: "What he meant is that in this selection, the strongest person is not necessarily the one who is determined to win. They may have other purposes and motivations."

Lu Linglong and Liu Yanyan agreed after hearing this. Liu Yanyan then asked, "Then in your opinion, who is the strongest among them?"

Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua also looked at him curiously, looking forward to Liu Tianci's answer.

Liu Tianci pondered for a moment and replied: "From the perspective of paper strength, Wang Ye and Feng Baobao are undoubtedly the top ones. The next ones should be Zhuge Qing and Zhang Lingyu. Then, it will be Zhang Chulan and his group."

"Wang Ye? Feng Baobao? I have never heard of these two people." Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua shook their heads in confusion.

Liu Yanyan explained: "Feng Baobao is from the company and had a contest with Tianci before."

"And Wang Ye is a high-ranking martial artist from Mount Wudang. Once he gets serious, he can almost be said to be invincible among his peers." Liu Tianci continued to add.

After hearing this, Zhi Jinhua nodded along with the others and kept the information in mind.

However, Liu Tianci did not notice that Zhuge Qing was secretly using magic to eavesdrop on their conversation. After listening, Zhuge Qing frowned. He originally claimed to be at the top of his peers, and it was hard for him to accept that he was ranked behind two masters by Liu Tianci. This undoubtedly posed a great challenge to his arrogant personality.

After carefully studying all the intelligence, Liu Tianci and his team began to carefully plan their bets. Relying on his vague memories of his previous life, Liu Tianci accurately selected those players he thought had potential, confidently predicting that this would be a considerable profit.

Liu Yanyan chose to follow Liu Tianci's footsteps without reservation. She firmly believed that Liu Tianci's judgment would bring rich rewards.

At the same time, Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua also demonstrated their wisdom and strategy. They did not blindly follow the trend, but carefully selected the players they thought were worth betting on based on their in-depth analysis and unique insights, combined with the guidance of intelligence.

They trust their own judgment and hope to come out on top in this betting.

One day the sleeping dragon will finally get rain, today the crane will be released and fly into the sky.

The old Taoist priest appeared solemnly and swept his sharp eyes over Zhang Chulan. Then his loud voice echoed throughout the venue, announcing the official start of the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

Then, a carefully designed lottery ceremony began. Each contestant nervously and expectantly drew his or her own lottery number, and the number of the heavenly stems determined the order in which they entered the venue.

What’s even more special is that each lottery ticket is engraved with an animal pattern. Four people who get the same animal pattern will form a group and participate in a fierce elimination competition where one of four is selected.
