CHAPTER 669: CHAPTER 607: DIVINITY TRANSFORMATION WAGER

First Place: Kunxu University, Tao Qiankun, advertisement rate 830 Spirit Coins/per session

Second Place: Sky Demon University, Kuang Tianqing, advertisement rate 750 Spirit Coins/per session

Third Place: Nether University, Yan Xiang, advertisement rate 630 Spirit Coins/per session

On the third day of the competition, the coach of the Kunxu University team, An Zhen True Monarch, looked at the latest advertisement rate rankings and thought to himself, "The top three have all increased, especially Kuang Tianqing, who has been making moves over the past two days. The glow of his rate is rising, getting closer to Tao Qiankun."

An Zhen True Monarch looked further down, "The top ten have mostly increased. Bai Zhenzhen, following Tao Qiankun in battle, has vaguely had a breakthrough in swordsmanship, rising from tenth to ninth place."

"From the tenth spot onward, they’ve more or less been declining."

"After all, as the competition proceeds, the attention increasingly concentrates on the top performers."

The students analyzed one by one, and when An Zhen True Monarch’s gaze swept to Zhang Yu’s name, he found that Zhang Yu had dropped from 38th to 45th place.

This did not come as a surprise to An Zhen True Monarch.

"After all, aside from the first day’s fight, Zhang Yu has been holed up at the construction site, with no impressive performances, and fewer people are paying attention to him."

"But this is also a correct strategy."

"After all, he is targeted by Kuang Tianqing. His name is probably highlighted and with effects in Kuang Tianqing’s view by now."

"If he steps out, it’s too dangerous. Better to hide in the base."

"If he can stay hidden until the end, until Kuang Tianqing has no chance to take action against him, it’s a form of victory in itself."

"However..."

An Zhen True Monarch looked at the live broadcast in front of him, thinking, "Given the current developments, I’m afraid even if he wants to hide, he won’t be able to hide any longer."

...

Above the Floating Continent.

In the Spirit Realm conference room.

The divine light representing the ten Divinity Transformation Principals gently fluctuated.

During this period of competition, although the ten Divinities can’t watch the matches in person all the time, they have kept a presence, paying attention to the ten major leagues’ conditions, occasionally discussing with other Divinity Transformation Divine Monarchs in the conference room.

And each time the Monarchs’ dialogue and exchange, each time their thoughts and intentions shifted, each time they had new insights into the situation, as an extension of their thought tentacles... countless soul cultivators in the Spirit Realm would leave messages, post, and brush data, causing waves of Spirit Realm opinion.

Now, as the fierce battles of the first and second days have passed, the battlefield on the third day has become much calmer. It seems that the students from each school have hidden away, no longer easily initiating battles.

However, under the leadership of Tao Qiankun, the Kunxu and other four universities’ alliance has captured a total of 12 prisoners, four more than the Sky Demon and other four universities’ alliance.

The Heavenly Calculation Divine Monarch of Kunxu University couldn’t help but say, "The eight Divine Monarchs transmitting skills, it appears to be nothing special."

The Zizai Divine Monarch from Sky Demon University said indifferently, "If it’s nothing special, why is Tao Qiankun avoiding battle?"

The Lingxi Divine Monarch from Hehuan University said with a soft laugh, "Heavenly Calculation, I can’t pretend I didn’t hear what you said. Are you implying Hehuan’s dual cultivation technique is ineffective?"

The principal of Sky Demon University snorted and said, "Tao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing are both deliberately avoiding confrontation, trying to conserve their strength, not wanting to be picked off."

He sighed, "The Human Clan still lacks the kind of courage to fight to the death that we Demon Descendants have."

In an instant, the principals, like they were prompted, sent out their opinions from the divine light.

Some expressed the superiority of the Demon Descendants, some affirmed the human clan’s advancements, while others spoke of the unity and equality of humans and demons. However, the topic soon returned to the arena, starting discussions on Tao Qiankun, praises on the Four Heavenly Demon Schools...

Such discussions among the Divinity Transformation Principals created more ripples in the Spirit Realm, causing waves of opinion change.

Each Divinity Transformation Principal was trying to guide public opinion for their own interests.

But however it goes, because of their outstanding performances, popularity, wealth, and top-tier strength, Tao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing have both become the most popular contenders in the ten major leagues, growing increasingly brilliant.

And as the live battlefield saw the gathering of the Four Heavenly Demon Schools led by Kuang Tianqing converging towards the base of the Four Kunxu Schools, more and more people realized a grand showdown was about to unfold.

In a short time, the live broadcast’s heat of the ten major leagues began to soar.

The Heavenly Calculation Divine Monarch said, "Old Zizai, how about we make a bet?"

Zizai Divine Monarch said, "What would you like to bet on?"

Heavenly Calculation Divine Monarch: "Didn’t Kuang Tianqing make a statement earlier? He claimed to capture Zhang Yu within three days. I bet he can’t do it."

Zizai Divine Monarch said indifferently, "Seems like you think those students from Tao Qiankun can protect Zhang Yu."

"Alright, then I bet Kuang Tianqing can break through Tao Qiankun and others’ protection to capture Zhang Yu alive."

"Let’s open a betting platform on the Heaven-Reaching Road."

The Heaven-Reaching Road, one of the largest gambling platforms on the second layer of Kunxu, with the slogan "The first shortcut to Immortal Path," "Adventure Wholesaler," "Opportunity Maker," claiming each year some poorer individuals embark on the Heaven-Reaching Road, striking it rich and advancing swiftly on the Immortal Path.

In the next moment, other Divine Monarchs also joined in, each placing bets on the Heaven-Reaching Road.

Quickly, the news of the ten school principals setting up a gamble spread in the Spirit Realm, even being propagated and released through the official channels of each school.

However, concerning the Ten Divine Monarchs, the Ten Tournaments, Kuang Tianqing, Tao Qiankun...any one of these is a current hot topic; once this gambling game emerged, it immediately sparked a frenzy, drawing countless people to start placing bets.

Especially on the Heaven-Reaching Road, publicized by the Divine Monarchs, aside from Kuang Tianqing’s project of capturing Zhang Yu, there are also gambling projects on school rankings, the number of school captives, the number of personal captives, and so forth.

Apart from the gambling projects of the Ten Tournaments, the platform offers thousands of other gambling projects, ensuring that every customer can bet on something at every moment.

This time, with the Divine Monarchs’ influence, the Heaven-Reaching Road has attracted a vast amount of funds.

The Heavenly Star True Monarch of Sky Sword University silently watched this scene, thinking to himself: "They’ve started setting up shop again."

The Heavenly Star True Monarch understood that although the Heavenly Calculation God Monarch and the Zizai Divine Monarch, as principals of Wanfa and Sky Demon Universities respectively, have quite a few interest conflicts.

But it doesn’t affect them joining together to set up shop and profit when needed.

The Heavenly Star True Monarch lamented: "A group of lower cultivators, carrying loans, knee-deep in debt, don’t have the time or energy to follow the entire Ten Tournaments closely, only catching glimpses...yet still hoping to participate in Divinity Transformation gambling?"

"For lower cultivators, gambling is absolutely untouchable."

"But for Divinity Transformation, gambling is merely an investment."

While speaking, a voice from the divine light representing Heavenly Star Divine Monarch came forth.

"Count me in as well."

...

Meanwhile.

At the arena on the Floating Continent.

There are 6 hours left until the end of the first match.

Underground in the prison, Zhang Yu slowly expelled the processed materials.

He’s already been continually going through this process of feeding, excreting, and processing materials for over fifty hours.

"Leading in number of captives, and the Four Heavenly Demon Schools have yet to take action, the battlefield looks calm, the situation seems good, but..."

Zhang Yu understood that Kuang Tianqing must be preparing something.

Although their contact was brief, Zhang Yu could feel...the opponent is definitely not the type to give up easily.

At this moment, Ye Xingli sent a message to Zhang Yu: The Four Heavenly Demon Schools might launch a mass attack.

Ye Xingli: Remember to hide well in the upcoming hours, don’t reveal yourself, don’t catch Kuang Tianqing’s eye.

Seeing the message from Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu hesitated slightly, asking where the information came from.

Then Zhang Yu learned that it was a joint meeting held by the front row students of Wanfa, Vajra, Immortal Soldier, and Sky Sword, during which they shared the latest intel and judged that Kuang Tianqing is gathering forces, preparing for a mass attack.

Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t called to such a meeting, as his presence in the camp isn’t strong now.

Fortunately, with Ye Xingli’s reminder, Zhang Yu confirmed his judgment.

"Kuang Tianqing is about to act...I should hurry to prepare the final matters as well."

...

There are 3 hours left until the end of the first match.

North side of the Four Ten Thousand Laws Schools’ stronghold.

Kuang Tianqing stepped on the void, cloaked by a dense cloud above, concealing her form.

She stared at the giant fortress some kilometers away, her eyes seemingly cutting through layers of barriers to see her biggest opponent Tao Qiankun’s figure.

Kuang Tianqing casually said: "Tao Qiankun, you want a mass battle, then let’s have a mass battle."

Behind Kuang Tianqing stood three figures at this moment, representing Nether, Bone, and Hehuan Universities’ top students.

Kuang Tianqing turned toward Yan Xiang of Nether University, saying: "Begin."

"Greet Tao Qiankun, tell him...we’ve arrived."

Accompanied by the earth’s tremors, countless demonic beasts emerged from the ground.

On the Floating Continent, besides various resources being deployed, there are also a large number of demonic beasts forming part of the ecosystem.

Yet at this moment, these demons seemed to be full of flipping flesh, their bodies rigid, loaded with dead energy, lacking any semblance of life.

This is because all of them have been transformed into Corpse Demons by Yan Xiang from Nether University, fierce and fearless, devoid of pain and consciousness, retaining only basic intelligence and combat instincts.

Clearly, in these three days, not only was Zhang Yu exploiting the arena’s resources for growth, others from different schools were also temporarily boosting their combat power with the site’s environment.

A black mass of Corpse Demons erupted from the ground, charging directly toward the fortress like a torrent.

Simultaneously, countless fortifications outside the fortress engaged, thunderous flames rising.

Then students began to take turns, suppressing the attacking Corpse Demons one by one.
