Chapter 179: Chapter 140 Winning People’s Hearts_2

The top sixteen experts from the Outer Sect were also selected.

Many spectators started to leave one after another, with some of them preparing to place bets on the top eight contestants...

They had to win back their earlier stakes!

"Ding ding ding..."

The matches of the round of sixteen to the round of eight resumed a quarter of an hour later.

Li Yunjing’s opponent this round chose to concede.

Li Yunjing’s performance was disheartening; this man was very sensible. He reckoned that he couldn’t even beat Tian Haifeng, so he definitely wasn’t a match for Li Yunjing.

Not long after, Li Yunjing saw Jin Shouyun being knocked off the stage, covered in blood...

"Sigh..."

Shaking his head slightly, he saw that Jin Shouyun was still breathing and his worry eased.

As long as he wasn’t killed instantly, there was a high probability that he could be saved.

Jin Shouyun’s condition looked scary, but it shouldn’t be too serious.

In the following round of eight to four, Li Yunjing defeated his opponent using only the Power of the Flesh, winning effortlessly.

The other three matches were intense. In one match, both contestants were severely injured, and the victor couldn’t even participate in the top four competition.

Thus, the final top four experts of the day were determined.

They were: Li Yunjing from the "Scripture Pavilion"; Ying Qianqian from the "Yangxin Pavilion"; Jin Wuhen from the "Law Enforcement Hall"; and Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall."

The most unfortunate was Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall." Although he advanced, he was severely injured and had to withdraw from tomorrow’s final.

The remaining three directly secured their places in the top three.

"Let’s go! The rest will be tomorrow’s event!"

Li Yunjing, in high spirits, left the Martial Arts Arena with two women.

The three of them didn’t return but wandered around outside the Martial Arts Arena instead.

Li Yunjing and his companions watched Fu Chao collect over a dozen Storage Bags from a stall...

These were their fortunes!

"Fu Chao, how’s it going?"

When Fu Chao finished his business, the three of them approached him, and Lv Ruoxi asked curiously.

"Hehe! Do you need to ask? Let’s go! Tonight at ’East Splendor Tower,’ my treat!"

Fu Chao grinned widely, having smiled all day.

He had been busy outside all day, not even stepping into the Martial Arts Arena.

Because the business outside was more attractive to him!

Countless Spirit Stones were credited; Fu Chao made a huge profit based on the odds and raked in a fortune!

"Great! Let’s go to ’East Splendor Tower’!"

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi said in unison.

Fu Chao’s words made the three of them beam with joy, for their investments were involved!

Everyone made a fortune and everyone was happy!

In the evening, at "East Splendor Tower."

When Fu Chao and his friends arrived, the people at "East Splendor Tower" were startled, fearing this master would cause trouble again.

But they were relieved to see Fu Chao in good spirits and not looking for trouble.

Things went as they expected.

Fu Chao and his three friends entered their reserved private room and started ordering food.

This time, no one held back.

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi all said that this feast would be covered by the profits from this time and everyone would chip in.

Fu Chao rarely had so much fun and didn’t refuse their offer.

After all, the days were long, and there would always be times when he would treat.

The banquet was extremely sumptuous, with a variety of delicacies from flying, running, and swimming creatures, top-notch medicinal dishes, Spirit Wine, and Spirit Fruits—all readily available.

This meal was even more lavish than the last one Fu Chao treated them to.

Having made money, everyone was willing to spend and eat even more happily.

During the casual chat, Li Yunjing and his friends asked Fu Chao about the expected earnings, and upon learning the numbers, each of them downed three glasses in excitement!

After the banquet, Li Yunjing specifically requested a food box from "East Splendor Tower," packed some good food, and bid farewell to the three True Disciples before teleporting back to the Southern Mountain Area.

He returned to the Outer Disciples’ living area, asked the Outer Sect steward about Jin Shouyun’s address, and carried the food box to visit him.

"Senior Brother Li, why are you here?"

When Jin Shouyun opened the door and saw Li Yunjing, he was astonished.

"Shouyun! How are your injuries?"

Li Yunjing immediately asked about Jin Shouyun’s condition and pointed to the food box in his left hand, smiling, "I just brought this from ’East Splendor Tower,’ try it!"

"Senior Brother Li, please come in! Thank you for your concern! My injuries are nothing serious, but failing made me feel a bit down."

Warmed in his heart, Jin Shouyun stepped aside to invite Li Yunjing inside.

His home’s layout was almost identical to Li Yunjing’s.

The Outer Disciples’ residences were all built uniformly by the Sect, with minor differences.

Entering Jin Shouyun’s living room, Li Yunjing noticed that Jin Shouyun’s place, like his own, was sparsely organized, treating the Outer Sect residence as a temporary dwelling.

After taking a seat, Li Yunjing urged Jin Shouyun to take good care of his injuries to avoid any lasting effects. At the same time, he opened the food box, revealing four main dishes.

All of these were high-end dishes cooked with Tier Two Spiritual Materials from "East Splendor Tower."

The food box from "East Splendor Tower" was remarkable, engraved with an array to keep the food fresh.

The dishes Li Yunjing took out were almost as fresh as if they had just been cooked.

A delightful aroma wafted from the four dishes.

"Senior Brother Li, this is too precious!"
