At this moment, Ye Tian's strength was all dormant. But he was, after all, a Human Immortal. The instrument showed him emitting a red glow all over, with an energy value exceeding eighteen thousand.
Long Xiao asked, "Eighteen thousand, that's not low either."
Ye Tian smiled, "Take another look." As he spoke, he activated his immortal energy and released his primordial spirit.
In an instant, the instrument emitted a "beep, beep, beep" sound, its readings spiking off the charts, instantly soaring to one million! One million was the limit of this instrument. Wu Bei on the screen transformed into a figure of light, as dazzling as the sun.
Long Xiao was greatly astonished. He quickly took the instrument away and deleted the test data. He exclaimed, "Impressive! Over a million. You know, my reading was only a little over fifty thousand!"
Ye Tian said, "When I fight, as long as I use my full strength, the instrument can't measure my actual energy."
Long Xiao's eyes lit up, "Very good! If that's the case, we'll definitely make a fortune!"
Ye Tian replied, "At that time, I'll insert silver needles into acupoints, which will also lower my energy a bit."
Lin Ziyi was a little worried, "Tian Ge, if you encounter a powerful opponent and lower your strength like this, won't it be dangerous?"
Ye Tian chuckled, "Ziyi, you don't understand cultivation. Even if my strength is inferior to theirs, my Human Immortal physique and combat instincts are not something they can match."
Lin Ziyi said, "In any case, you must be careful and not be careless."
The few of them discussed and set off an hour later, taking Su Yan with them to the gambling arena.
Ye Tian hadn't expected that the gambling matches would be held in Zhonghai's largest stadium. When he arrived at the stadium, he saw over a thousand people already seated. Everyone was only allowed to carry functional mobile phones and prohibited from bringing any devices with camera or video functions.
Long Xiao rented a private room. The room was temporarily constructed, spacious, and had a good environment. The room rental was calculated by the hour, at one million per hour!
After bringing Ye Tian and the others to the room, a high-definition LCD screen was playing the matches in real-time, with a slow-motion replay function.
Long Xiao said, "The gambling matches start at seven-thirty in the evening. It's four in the afternoon now, so there are still three and a half hours."
Lin Ziyi asked, "Brother Long, are we coming early to make preparations?"
Long Xiao nodded, "This gambling event is led by foreign magnates. They tend to believe in data. So, Ye Tian needs to undergo a data test and then be rated."
Lin Ziyi inquired, "How will they rate him?"
Long Xiao explained, "They will rate based on data such as physique, reaction time, weight, and strength. From lowest to highest, they are D-class, C-class, B-class, A-class, S-class, SS-class, and SSS-class. Furthermore, each class is divided into five grades. For example, A-class is divided into A--, A-, A, A+, and A++."
Lin Ziyi asked, "Can different classes compete against each other?"
Long Xiao replied, "Of course. This is considered an 'over-level' challenge. It usually occurs between those of the same class, such as an A- challenging an A+. However, an A-class challenging an S-class is extremely rare. Over-level challenges generally receive very high odds. I remember three years ago, an S-class challenged an SS-class, and the odds were as high as one to nine-point-five!"
Su Yan asked, "Is this rating accurate?"
Long Xiao answered, "It's generally quite accurate. Even if an S-class expert is rated as A, once they fight a few matches, their true strength will be revealed, and they will be re-rated as S-class."
Su Yan remarked, "So, our window to make money might only be for the first few matches."
Long Xiao glanced at her and said, "There are too many unexpected events in the arena. Even the most confident person cannot guarantee winning every round."
Ye Tian asked, "What level do you think would be most suitable for me?"
Long Xiao suggested, "A+ class. At this level, A-class experts will challenge you, and you can also challenge S-class experts. Even if you are promoted to S-class after a few rounds, S-class experts will still look down on you, thinking your foundation is poor and you only defeated S-class opponents through luck."
Ye Tian decided, "Then A+ it is."
Half an hour later, Long Xiao took Ye Tian to participate in the test. The test took twenty minutes, during which Ye Tian underwent twenty-four tests using more than ten different instruments. Finally, with his precise control, his tested level reached A-class, just shy of A+. However, Long Xiao was still quite satisfied with this result.
