Not only were Wang Ye, Zhou Ke, and Lin Shuang involved in the bet.

The moment the names of Ji Shaoyun and Ji Ru Yu appeared.

The entire scene descended into madness.

"The two prodigies of the Ji Family are about to compete."

"I heard Ji Ru Yu just passed the Second Rank Sorcerer's assessment, pushing Ji Lanshan from the second position in the Ji Family, and Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan are actually full brothers. Now that they've met, Ji Shaoyun will definitely help his brother teach Ji Ru Yu a good lesson."

"It's a pity for Ji Ru Yu. If Ji Ru Yu had faced any of the other Third Rank Sorcerers, he would definitely win, but now, coming up against Ji Shaoyun, he likely won't reach the top six."

Almost all the magicians watching.

Shared the same thought.

In this competition, Ji Ru Yu was bound to lose.

One had been a Second Rank Sorcerer for a month, Ji Shaoyun, and the other just recently passed, Ji Ru Yu. Just by thinking a bit, it seems easy to guess the right answer.

On the main viewing stand.

This place, when looking down from the stands, is the best position.

And only some big figures can sit here.

At this time, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop was sitting slightly to the left, and beside him was the president of the number one guild, the Tian City Mage Guild.

Li Tianxue.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop smiled at Li Tianxue and said, "Shall we have a bet between us, on who will win between Ji Shaoyun and Ji Ru Yu?"

The sudden bet proposal from the master of the Divine Stone Workshop caught Li Tianxue by surprise.

It's well known that the identity of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop is quite unusual in sorcerer circles.

When Li Tianxue saw the master sitting beside him, he initially tried many times to strike up a conversation and establish a connection.

Though the other responded with a smile, Li Tianxue could distinctly feel a certain detachment from the master of the Divine Stone Workshop.

But now, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop had proactively engaged him in conversation and proposed a bet.

This left Li Tianxue a bit perplexed.

If it was a bet on others, it would be trivial, but the bet concerning Ji Ru Yu and Ji Shaoyun's outcome?

Anyone could foresee the result at a glance.

Was a bet necessary?

While Li Tianxue considered this, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop began to prompt him, "Are you betting or not? Their competition is about to officially start, and if you wait any longer, the bet won't count."

Although the magicians' competitions have many rounds, requiring lengthy times, the rules for wagers remain the same as with cultivators.

Before the competitors start, bets can be added freely.

But once their competition starts, increasing the stakes is not allowed; the initial bet becomes fixed.

"Alright, alright."

Not wanting to miss a chance to ally with the master, Li Tianxue answered quickly without much thought, "Then I'll bet on Ji Shaoyun to win."

As soon as he said that.

He regretted it.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop meant to offer him an opportunity.

If he bets on Ji Shaoyun, the master would only have Ji Ru Yu left to bet on.

But Ji Ru Yu was bound to fail.

In that case, the opportunity the master offered him would be wasted?

With this realization, Li Tianxue worriedly looked at the master and said, "Actually, I could change my bet to Ji Ru Yu."

"No worries."

The master laughed heartily, and for the first time, Li Tianxue sensed genuine warmth, replacing the previous businesslike facade: "I'll just bet on Ji Ru Yu then."

With that.

The master placed his bet.

Li Tianxue stared blankly for a moment before a smile crept onto his face.

He realized.

The master was deliberately trying to befriend him.

In winning or losing, the master would proactively cultivate goodwill regardless.

Li Tianxue felt a touch of pride.

The Divine Stone Workshop had reached such heights, raising the master's stature along with many influential families desiring partnerships, not an easy feat.

Yet the master approached him.

Li Tianxue thought that when he mingled with other guild presidents over drinks, boasting of this occurrence would draw many admiring glances.

The master, observing Li Tianxue's delight upon wagering with him, felt a dullness.

He bet to prompt Li Tianxue to inquire about why he wagered on Ji Ru Yu against all odds.

Then, acting as a grand master, he would share his reasoning and thoughts.

In this way.

Li Tianxue would gaze at him with admiration.

But unexpectedly.

Li Tianxue made no such query.

"What's with this supposedly leading guild? President of Tian City Mage Guild, nothing more than a fool, not nearly as entertaining as Zhou Ke, president of Wei City Mage Guild."

The master mused to himself.

...

The competition at the Sorcerer's Headquarters was divided into three parts.

The first part involved the original stones.

Ji Ru Yu, who reached the Second Rank Sorcerer through a spectacle, wasn't skilled in gambling on stones, so he lost the first contest against Ji Shaoyun.

Beside Wang Ye.

Lin Shuang glanced at Wang Ye with some worry.

She knew Wang Ye wanted Ji Ru Yu to win, but with Ji Ru Yu losing the first contest, she feared for Wang Ye's mood.

Wang Ye, sensing Lin Shuang's gaze, understood her concern and whispered to her:

"It's alright. Ji Ru Yu may be weaker at stone gambling, having even advanced to Second Rank Sorcerer through spectacle. But in spectating and Formation, Ji Ru Yu will surely win."

"Alright."

Only then did Lin Shuang nod slightly, resting her head on Wang Ye's shoulder.
