Chapter 595: Ad Value Ranking

"Kuáng Tiānqīng actually lost?"

"Which eye of yours saw Kuáng Tiānqīng lose? She was clearly just making a strategic retreat."

"Isn't that the same as running away?"

"She severely wounded Bái Zhēnzhēn and Zhāng Yǔ, then withdrew unscathed under the assault of six people! No one could do anything to her."

"So she still ran away? Eight Divine Transformation experts are helping him cram—shouldn't she have instantly killed the opponents? I think it'd be better to help me cram..."

"Kuáng Tiānqīng's first move in the team match clearly attracted the attention of countless people."

"Regarding the result of this battle, the Spirit Realm was also abuzz with endless discussion, with countless people issuing either disparaging or praising comments."

"Especially with Zhāng Yǔ's final shout, it made many spectators believe that Kuáng Tiānqīng had indeed lost this battle."

"Scanning the numerous comments in the Spirit Realm, sensing the subtle shifts in public opinion and their impact on stock prices, coin prices, and advertisements, the principal of Heavenly Demon University, Lord Zìzài, let out a cold snort."

"Above the arena, in the observation room of the Spirit Realm, his voice came from the divine light representing Lord Zìzài."

"The students of Ten Thousand Methods University lack strength, but they've certainly learned plenty of skills in talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong."

"Upon hearing Lord Zìzài's words, Lord Tiānyǎn of Ten Thousand Methods University chuckled and said, 'Old ghost, don't tell me that with your eyesight, you can't see Zhāng Yǔ's importance in this battle.'"

"'Although his strength is inferior to Kuáng Tiānqīng, like her, he is also the dominant force in the rhythm of this battle.'"

"'Whether it was detecting the flaw in the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Art, assisting Bái Zhēnzhēn's breakthrough in swordsmanship, contacting support, or the final counter-ambush, in this battle, he was almost the only one able to contend with Kuáng Tiānqīng for... control over the battlefield's rhythm.'"

"'This is defeating the strong with the weak, fully utilizing all his own resources, the environment, and the rules.'"

"Just after Lord Tiānyǎn finished speaking, Lord Zìzài said disdainfully, 'If it were any student with stronger personal strength, they would have done even better than him.'"

"'Without Wén Wúyá's long-range support, without Bái Zhēnzhēn's presence, without Jīn Nàpán's arrival... what right does Zhāng Yǔ have to fight Kuáng Tiānqīng?'"

"'This Zhāng Yǔ is both the weakest and the biggest flaw in that battle just now, which is why he became the key point of the battle rhythm.'"

"'Fighting the strong with the weak? What right does such a foolish act have to be praised?'"

"Just as the two Divine Transformation Lords were communicating, massive numbers of soul cultivators representing their power also erupted in the Spirit Realm under the control of their will."

"'Kuáng Tiānqīng revealed Dao techniques, her ambush returned without achievement, military-grade magic armor damaged, may miss this year's Top Ten League championship due to this battle! Heavenly Demon University! Lose!'"

"'Kuáng Tiānqīng's first move in the Top Ten League stunned everyone, her complete set of Dao techniques complement each other, forming a self-contained system; she came and went freely under the siege of multiple schools and severely wounded two students! Currently performing as the strongest on the field, the champion aura has appeared! Heavenly Demon University! Win!'"

"For a time, both sides left countless comments and information about Kuáng Tiānqīng in the Spirit Realm, pouring the intentions of the two Divine Transformation experts into the Spirit Realm, influencing the shifts in public opinion and guiding the thoughts of countless people."

"And because Kuáng Tiānqīng was involved in too many things, the related advertising prices, traffic value, and even the coin prices and stock prices of Heavenly Demon University behind her all fluctuated differently."

"At the same time, Lord Tiānyǎn had already started communicating with Lord Ānzhèn, who guides the school team."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: This Zhāng Yǔ has great potential."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: Why does he have so little investment on him?"

"Lord Ānzhèn quickly replied: He only recently mastered his fourth military-grade power; his qualifications are too shallow, his experience too little."

"Lord Ānzhèn: Our positioning for him is mainly support."

"Then Lord Ānzhèn vaguely explained that after evaluation, he had already given the highest loan amount he could offer to that person."

"After all, there is only one first place in the Top Ten League; the main force for the Immortal Sect's techniques is Dào Qiánkūn, so the primary investment target must also be Dào Qiánkūn."

"Including Jiǔ Tiānliú and Yǎn Qiānjī behind Dào Qiánkūn; in Lord Ānzhèn's view, the large investments on them are also to increase overall win rate more cost-effectively, raising Ten Thousand Methods University's chances of winning the championship."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: Ānzhèn, sometimes when cultivating students, we need to teach according to their abilities and handle special matters specially; we cannot follow old conventions and only know rigid rules."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: This Zhāng Yǔ has potential. He can weaken Kuáng Tiānqīng and increase the win rate for Dào Qiánkūn."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: After this match ends, consider whether you can provide him with additional investment."

"Lord Ānzhèn: I understand."

"Lord Tiānyǎn: As I see it, he doesn't have an advertising slot yet?"

"Lord Tiānyǎn: After this match ends, there should be companies wanting to invest, right?"

"Lord Ānzhèn: I will send someone to make contact."

"After ending the call with Lord Tiānyǎn, Lord Ānzhèn looked at the advertising quotes from various companies."

These were advertising quotes sent to students by companies after contacting the schools, representing how much they were willing to spend on advertisements featuring the student if the student participated in the next match.

And as the matches progressed and the students' performances varied, the companies' quotes for subsequent advertising collaborations kept changing.

True Lord Anzhen thought to himself: "If any student's advertising quote is high enough, even if their strength is insufficient, they might still be put into the next match, right? But it would also be hard for a student lacking strength to get a very high advertising quote."

And after synthesizing the highest quotes from all sides and public opinion assessments... a ranking of the advertising quotes from various companies for the students in the next match had already appeared before True Lord Anzhen.

First place: Dao Qiankun from Myriad Methods University, advertising quote 820 spirit coins per match

Second place: Kuang Tianqing from Demon Heaven University, advertising quote 710 spirit coins per match

Third place: Yan Xiang from Netherworld University, advertising quote 600 spirit coins per match

Looking at the names and quotes of the top three students, True Lord Anzhen thought: "Because of the impact of this battle, Kuang Tianqing's highest advertising quote has dropped quite a bit, directly falling from first to second place."

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

True Lord Anzhen thought: "The destructive power Bai Zhenzhen displayed has attracted a lot of attention, and the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao itself has a high degree of discussion. Suddenly, her advertising quote has risen to tenth place."
