Chapter 665: Chapter 603: Advertising Value Rankings

“Kuang Tianqing actually lost?”

“Which eye of yours saw Kuang Tianqing lose? He was clearly just making a strategic retreat.”

“Isn’t that just running away?”

“He severely injured Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, and then retreated unscathed under the siege of six people! No one could do anything to her.”

“So he still ran away? Eight Divinity Transformation students supplementing his lessons, shouldn’t she have eliminated the opponents instantly? I think it’s better if they help me instead…”

Kuang Tianqing’s first move in the team match evidently attracted countless attention.

Regarding the outcome of this battle, discussions continued incessantly in the Spirit Realm, with numerous people issuing comments either critical or complimentary.

Especially with Zhang Yu’s final shout, even more spectators believed that indeed Kuang Tianqing had lost this fight.

Gazing through the Spirit Realm comments, sensing subtle shifts in public opinion and their effect on stock prices, coin prices, and advertisements, the principal of Sky Demon University, Zizai Divine Monarch, snorted coldly.

Above the arena, in the observation chamber of the Spirit Realm, the voice of Zizai Divine Monarch echoed within his divine light representation.

“Wanfa University students lack actual strength, but have certainly learned how to speak nonsense and distort facts.”

Hearing this remark from Zizai Divine Monarch, Wanfa University’s Heavenly Calculation God Monarch chuckled lightly, saying, “Old ghost, don’t tell me that with your keen eyes, you can’t see the importance of Zhang Yu in this battle.”

“Although his strength doesn’t match Kuang Tianqing, just like Kuang Tianqing, he was also a key player in the rhythm of this battle.”

“Whether it was detecting the flaws in the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique, aiding Bai Zhenzhen’s swordsmanship breakthrough, coordinating support, or the final counterattack, almost only he could contest with Kuang Tianqing for… control of the battlefield rhythm in this match.”

“This is using weakness to defeat strength, fully leveraging all of his resources, utilizing the environment and the rules.”

Just as Heavenly Calculation God Monarch finished speaking, Zizai Divine Monarch disagreed disdainfully, “Replace him with any student with stronger individual strength, and they would only do better.”

“Without Wen Wuya’s long-range support, without Bai Zhenzhen’s presence, without Jin Napan on site… what qualifies Zhang Yu to fight against Kuang Tianqing?”

“This Zhang Yu was the weakest and biggest flaw in the recent match, becoming the key point of battle rhythm.”

“Using weakness against strength? What foolishness deserves bragging rights?”

During the exchange between the two Divinity Transformation Divine Monarchs, the massive soul cultivators under their will erupted in the Spirit Realm.

“Kuang Tianqing exposed Taoist technique intelligence, the sneak attack failed, the military-level Magic Remains were damaged, potentially missing the championship in this session’s top ten leagues! Sky Demon University! Lost!”

“Kuang Tianqing made a stunning first appearance in the top ten leagues, his Taoist techniques complementing each other, forming a system, moving freely under multi-school siege, severely injuring two students! Currently the strongest performer on the field, showing championship potential, Sky Demon University! Won!”

Momentarily, both sides left countless comments, information about Kuang Tianqing in the Spirit Realm, unleashing the intent of the two Divinity Transformations into the Spirit Realm, influencing public opinion, and guiding numerous people’s thoughts.

Due to Kuang Tianqing’s involvement, related advertisement prices, traffic values, and even the coin prices, stock prices of Sky Demon University faced various fluctuations.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Calculation God Monarch was already communicating with An Zhen True Monarch, guiding the school team.

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: This Zhang Yu has great potential

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: Why is the investment in him so low?

An Zhen True Monarch promptly replied: He recently just mastered the fourth military-level power, his qualifications are too shallow, experience too little

An Zhen True Monarch: We primarily position him as support

An Zhen True Monarch faintly explained that after evaluation… the maximum loan amount offered was given.

After all, there is only one first place in the top ten leagues, the main force contenders for Immortal Sect Techniques are Tao Qiankun, and the principal investment targets must also be Tao Qiankun.

Including Jiutian Liu, Yan Qianji behind Tao Qiankun, their substantial investment was seen by An Zhen True Monarch as raising overall win rates more cost-effectively, increasing Wanfa University’s championship chances.

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: An Zhen, sometimes we must tailor our education upon students, address specific needs, cannot stick blindly to old rules

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: This Zhang Yu has potential, can weaken Kuang Tianqing, raising Tao Qiankun’s winning chance

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: After this match ends, consider whether you can give him additional investment

An Zhen True Monarch: I understand

Heavenly Calculation God Monarch: Has he got advertising spots on him yet?

Heavenly Eye Divine Monarch: After this match ends, companies should want to invest?

An Zhen True Monarch: I will send someone to contact

After ending his call with Heavenly Calculation God Monarch, An Zhen True Monarch looked at the advertising offers from various companies.

These were the offers companies made to the school, representing the money they were willing to spend on student advertising if they participated in the next match.

As the matches proceeded, with differing student performances, the offers for subsequent advertising cooperation from companies continuously changed.

An Zhen True Monarch contemplated: “If some student’s advertising offer was high enough, even if lacking strength, they might’ve secured a slot next match? But it’s quite difficult for insufficiently strong students to achieve very high advertising offers.”

After compiling the highest offers, public opinion evaluations, a ranking of advertising offers from companies for all students in the next match emerged before An Zhen True Monarch.

First place: Tao Qiankun from Wanfa University, advertising offer is 820 Spirit Coins per match

Second place: Kuang Tianqing from Sky Demon University, advertisement price 710 Spirit Coins per match

Third place: Yan Xiang from Nether University, advertisement price 600 Spirit Coins per match

Looking at the names and prices of the top three students, An Zhen True Monarch thought to himself, “Due to the impact of this battle, Kuang Tianqing’s highest advertisement price has dropped significantly, falling directly from first to second place.”

Then his gaze moved downward, and he saw Wen Wuya in fourth place at 550 spirit coins per match, and Bai Zhenzhen in tenth place at 380 spirit coins per match.

An Zhen True Monarch thought, “Bai Zhenzhen’s demonstrated lethality has attracted a lot of attention, and the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao itself has a high level of discussion, so the advertisement price has suddenly risen to the tenth place.”

“Wen Wuya’s recent long-distance support also secured an unbeatable position, especially since his attack range covers the entire arena, meaning he can intervene in any battle, making investing in him extremely cost-effective.”

He couldn’t help but sigh, “Who would have thought that one battle could catapult two students from Sky Sword University into the top ten advertisement spots?”

An Zhen True Monarch’s gaze continued downward, finally stopping at Zhang Yu in 38th place.

“38th place Zhang Yu, advertisement price for the next match is 66 Spirit Coins.”

An Zhen True Monarch sighed, “Advertisements have a distinct head effect; the further down the rankings, the more prices plummet.”

He recalled Zhang Yu’s performance, thinking to himself, “Without sufficient practical experience and an understanding of the details of the entire battlefield, student communication… an ordinary audience cannot perceive Zhang Yu’s importance in this battle.”

“And if the ordinary audience doesn’t see it, advertisers won’t be interested either.”

“Although Zhang Yu contended for control of the battlefield pace with Kuang Tianqing, from the perspective of viewing and advertisement effects, he’s not as good as Jin Napan, who appeared last.”

To be honest, Zhang Yu’s advertisement price ranking rising to 38th already surprised An Zhen True Monarch.

“The main reason for this is probably not Zhang Yu’s performance, but because he rode on Kuang Tianqing’s traffic.”

An Zhen True Monarch thought, “Especially that last bit of shouting, at the very least, boosted his ranking by dozens of places.”

In An Zhen True Monarch’s view, Zhang Yu’s final shout had a far greater impact on public opinion and advertisement pricing than his previous battle performance, proving even more useful than his desperate fighting.

…

Wanfa University.

In the laboratory, Magnetic Pole True Monarch unintentionally paused the experimental process.

Images of Kuang Tianqing and Zhang Yu’s battle with Bai Zhenzhen appeared in her eyes as she thought to herself, “That kid’s performance was truly unexpected.”

“Although there was a significant element of luck.”

“However…”

A thought crossed Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s mind, “Should we increase investment in him after the first team match?”

Originally, although Zhang Yu was quite powerful and demonstrated exceptional design talent, winning a place in the Top Ten Leagues… such a thing seemed too early in the eyes of Magnetic Pole True Monarch.

“Originally, I thought investing in him to participate in the Top Ten Leagues wouldn’t be a profitable business.”

“Now it seems better than I estimated.”

With a single thought, Magnetic Pole True Monarch had already ordered the artifact spirits to record all of Zhang Yu’s live broadcasts and highlight key segments to send to her.

…

While Magnetic Pole True Monarch pondered whether to add investments for Zhang Yu after the first team match,

In another corner deep in the Spirit Realm,

After watching Zhang Yu’s battle, Master Xinghuo sighed, “Zhang Yu maintained a good level in practical combat; his taunting in battles and awareness of countering sneak attacks remain consistently strong.”

“To force back a foe like Kuang Tianqing, he practically did his best in this battle.”

“It seems that during his years at the university, he hasn’t blindly indulged in making money; his heart still harbors fighting spirit.”

Master Xinghuo knew, even though the rules of the Top Ten Leagues seemed fair enough, the competition events themselves represented a type of unfairness.

“How many university students usually practice this kind of life-and-death battle? Maintain this kind of fighting spirit?”

Master Xinghuo sighed, “Only the top scholars from various schools can study real ferocious battles besides making money.”

“And those accustomed to making money, used to creating value through profits from the Immortal Path… are no longer accustomed to real battles, and their hearts lack fighting spirit. If placed in this arena, they struggle to integrate into such a battle rhythm in the first place.”

“Zhang Yu’s heart still holds the fighting spirit of a deadly battle, that’s good.”

…

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Zhang Yu watched Kuang Tianqing’s disappearing back and thought to himself, “During the recent live stream, the things I said should have weakened a lot of Kuang Tianqing’s potential in the Immortal Path. Also, I can grab some of his traffic, right?”

As for Kuang Tianqing’s final threat, Zhang Yu didn’t take it to heart.

It’s not because he thought Kuang Tianqing’s threat was fake, but because Zhang Yu knew Kuang Tianqing had already set his sights on him and Bai Zhenzhen for a long time.

The two sides had already become absolute enemies. Whether he shouted or not wouldn’t affect Kuang Tianqing’s targeting of them. In Zhang Yu’s view, it was better to yell a bit to grab some traffic and simultaneously weaken the opponent.
