NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1173: The Bet Between Wang Ye and Ye Chen
The so-called match was just too boring.
The spectators.
Upon hearing that Wang Ye and Ye Chen were going to have yet another round, the crowd became even more excited.
Initially, once Wang Ye's victory was assured, the results of the Sorcerer's Headquarters Tournament were basically set in stone.
And Ye Chen's match against the third place contender would certainly result in an easy defeat of the third place.
A complete crush, devoid of any spectacle.
But now, if Wang Ye and Ye Chen were to compete in another round, it meant this intense sorcerer's competition could continue for another round!
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop looked at Wang Ye with a bit of concern.
A wonder.
The first time Wang Ye went to the wonder, it was with the master of the Divine Stone Workshop accompanying him.
At that time, Wang Ye and the master of the Divine Stone Workshop had already formed a cooperation, so the master knew Wang Ye's weaknesses in the wonder.
When competing against other participants in the Sorcerer's Headquarters Tournament, Wang Ye could defeat them all simply with his understanding.
But if he were to compete against Ye Chen.
It was likely he would directly lose to Ye Chen.
However, after sizing up the expression on Wang Ye's face and noticing that Wang Ye seemed to have prepared himself for the impending defeat from the moment he agreed, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop said no more.
Following that, in the wonder duel between Wang Ye and Ye Chen, Wang Ye indeed lost.
In the early stages, Wang Ye was almost completely dominated by Ye Chen, but while observing the wonder, he applied the ancient and modern sorcery knowledge he possessed.
And by learning directly from Ye Chen, Wang Ye gradually reached Ye Chen's level, even showing signs of surpassing him towards the end.
But due to the time's limitation, Wang Ye ended up losing with a somewhat regretful result.
"Alas, Wang Ye actually lost, failing to achieve a triple win."
"But from this, we can see that Wang Ye still possesses a lot of courage. Wang Ye, so confident, must have known from the start that he was somewhat lacking in the wonder compared to Ye Chen, yet he still chose to compete against him."
"Spectacular! Really spectacular! Towards the end, I felt like I was witnessing not a battle between two Second Rank Sorcerers, but between first-grade sorcerers!"
The crowd of spectators was in high spirits.
Some of them felt a sense of regret over Wang Ye's loss.
After all, during the Sorcerer's Headquarters Tournament over these few days, coupled with Wang Ye's victory against Ye Chen, he had amassed a large fan base.
Both cultivators and sorcerers alike have a tendency to admire strength.
Wang Ye's talent in sorcery had thoroughly convinced those who initially doubted him.
Many people lamented Wang Ye's broad perspective.
Yet, some supporters of Ye Chen were excited.
On the stage.
Wang Ye's face remained exuberant as he glanced at the approaching Ye Chen, shook hands with him, and said, "This time, I have to thank you again."
"In this match, I feel like I've developed a deep understanding of the wonder, and going forward, I'll certainly make great progress in this area."
Ye Chen, too, looked at Wang Ye with admiration, letting Wang Ye shake his hand: "I can sense that before this, you probably never had much exposure to the wonder, only possessing knowledge of the principles. But your progress in applying it is incredibly fast."
"Initially, I even felt you were a novice, but in just a few hours' time, you gave me the feeling of a veteran who has been on this path for a long time. I could feel a tremendous pressure from you."
Ye Chen was sincere and straightforward in his praise for Wang Ye, saying what he truly felt.
Wang Ye did not need to worry that Ye Chen's words were just flattery.
"Indeed."
Wang Ye nodded slightly, then said, "For this wager, I did win, so remember our agreement."
"That's for certain!"
Ye Chen responded confidently.
But the spectators were somewhat puzzled.
There was an agreement between Wang Ye and Ye Chen?
Why hadn't it been mentioned even after their long match?
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ye Chen, Wang Ye turned and left.
Ye Chen watched Wang Ye's departing figure, his eyes gradually firming.
Even though Wang Ye lost to him in the wonder, Ye Chen was thoroughly impressed with Wang Ye.
After all, Wang Ye's progress in the wonder was astonishingly fast.
If it were him standing at Wang Ye's starting point in the wonder, Ye Chen probably wouldn't have done even a tenth as well as Wang Ye.
Sorcerer's Headquarters.
Voting...
In reality, although Ye Chen had been focused on sorcery research, rivaling even Mo Xu, he wasn't just a bookworm.
That night.
When Ji Ru Yu came looking for Ye Chen, Ye Chen already knew Wang Ye's general plan.
He decided to support Wang Ye.
Though Ye Chen was the first prodigy of the Ye Family, a prestigious sorcerer's clan, no other young prodigies in the Ye Family could compare to him.
But Ye Chen could feel that the current rules of the Sorcerer's Headquarters were flawed.
He didn't know what Wang Ye's exact plans were.
But based on Wang Ye's perspective, courage, sorcery skills, and even his skills as a cultivator.
If Wang Ye were to take this position, his achievements would certainly surpass those of the current Head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters.
From beginning to end, apart from the wager, Ye Chen never intended to align himself with Wang Ye.
However, Ye Chen quietly observed Wang Ye.
He had long since developed his own criteria for evaluating Wang Ye.
The look in Ye Chen's eyes grew more determined.
