Chapter 599: Divine Transformation Gamble

Latest price update, first place: Wanfa University Dao Qiankun, advertising price 830 spirit coins per session

Second place: Tianmo University Kuang Tianqing, advertising price 750 spirit coins per session

Third place: Youming University Yan Xiang, advertising price 630 spirit coins per session

On the third day of the competition, the team instructor of Wanfa University, True Lord Anzhen, looked at the latest advertising price rankings and thought to himself, "The top three have all grown, especially Kuang Tianqing, who after two days of continuous action, has been surging in advertising price, getting closer and closer to Dao Qiankun."

True Lord Anzhen looked further down: "The top ten are mostly rising. Bai Zhenzhen, following Dao Qiankun in continuous battles and seemingly having a breakthrough in swordsmanship, has risen from tenth to ninth."

"Starting from after the tenth place, they are all more or less declining."

"After all, as the competition progresses, traffic increasingly concentrates on the top."

He looked at each student, analyzed them, and when his gaze swept over Zhang Yu's name, he found that the latter had dropped from 38th to 45th.

This was not unexpected for True Lord Anzhen.

"After all, besides the first day's battle, Zhang Yu has been holed up at the construction site, with no outstanding performances, and fewer and fewer people paying attention to him."

"But this is also the correct strategy."

"After all, he has been targeted by Kuang Tianqing. His name in Kuang Tianqing's eye sockets is probably marked with bright colors and special effects."

"Once he goes out, it will be too dangerous. Better to stay hidden in the stronghold."

"If he can hide until the end, until Kuang Tianqing no longer has a chance to strike at him, that could still be considered a victory."

"However…"

True Lord Anzhen looked at the live broadcast screen before him and thought to himself, "Judging by how the situation is developing now, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide any longer."

…

Above the floating continent.

Inside the Spirit Realm meeting room.

The divine lights representing the ten Nascent Soul principals gently rippled.

During the competition, although it was impossible for the ten Nascent Soul cultivators to be present here to watch at all times, they each left a strand of divine sense, keeping an eye on the situation of the Ten Great Leagues, and occasionally discussing a few words with other Nascent Soul Divine Lords in the meeting room.

And every time the Divine Lords conversed and exchanged ideas, every time their thoughts and intentions changed, every time they had new views on the situation, as extensions of their mental tendrils… countless soul cultivators in the Spirit Realm would leave messages, post, and refresh data everywhere, triggering waves of public opinion in the Spirit Realm.

Now, after the fierce battles of the first and second days passed, the battlefield on the third day became much calmer. It seemed students from various schools had hidden themselves and were no longer engaging in combat easily.

However, during these two days, under Dao Qiankun's leadership, the Wanfa and other three-school alliance captured a total of twelve prisoners, four more than the Tianmo and other three-school alliance.

Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord of Wanfa University couldn't help but say, "The Eight Divine Lords bestowing their teachings—it seems that's nothing special after all."

Free and Unfettered Divine Lord of Tianmo University said calmly, "If it really were nothing special, why would Dao Qiankun be avoiding battle?"

Luminous Intellect Divine Lord of Hehuan University chuckled lightly, "Heavenly Evolution, I cannot pretend I didn't hear that remark. Are you trying to say that Hehuan's dual cultivation techniques are inferior?"

The principal of Tianyao University snorted and said, "Dao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing—these two are clearly intentionally or unintentionally avoiding confrontation, both wanting to preserve their strength to avoid letting someone else reap the benefits."

He sighed, "Humans still lack the courage of our demon descendants to risk it all for survival."

In an instant, each Nascent Soul principal seemed stirred, each voicing their own opinions from within their divine lights.

Some expressed the superiority of demon descendants, some affirmed the progressiveness of humans, and some spoke of the unity and equality of humans and demons. But the topic quickly turned back to the competition field, with some talking about Dao Qiankun, others praising the Tianmo four schools…

And such a discussion among the Nascent Soul beings sparked countless waves in the Spirit Realm, causing shifts in public opinion again and again.

Every Nascent Soul cultivator, for their own interests, tried to steer the direction of public opinion.

But regardless, Dao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing, due to their impressive performances, popularity, wealth, and their top-tier strength, became the most popular contestants of the Ten Great Leagues, growing ever more dazzling.

And when in the live broadcast arena, the Tianmo four schools led by Kuang Tianqing began to gather their forces and converge on the stronghold of the Wanfa four schools, more and more people realized that a decisive battle was about to unfold.

For a time, the live broadcast popularity of the Ten Great Leagues began to surge continuously.

Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord said, "Free and Unfettered, how about we make a bet?"

Free and Unfettered Divine Lord said, "What do you want to bet on?"

Heavenly Evolution Divine Lord: "This student Kuang Tianqing once declared that she would capture Zhang Yu within three days. I'll bet she can't do it."

Free and Unfettered Divine Lord said calmly, "It seems you believe that Dao Qiankun and those students can protect Zhang Yu."

"Alright, then I'll bet that Kuang Tianqing can break through the protection of Dao Qiankun and others, and capture Zhang Yu alive."

"Let's open the betting on the Tongtian Road then."

Tongtian Road, one of the largest gambling platforms on the 2nd layer of Kunxu, with slogans like "The First Shortcut of Immortal Path", "Wholesale Market of Adventures", and "Fortune Generator". It is said that every year, poor people step onto the Tongtian Road and, once they become rich overnight, they surge forward on the path of immortal cultivation.

The next moment, the other Divine Lords also joined in one after another, each starting to place bets on the Tongtian Road.

Immediately after, the news that the Divine Lords of the Ten Schools had set up a gambling game spread throughout the Spirit Realm, and was even disseminated and published through the official channels of each school.

And concerning the Ten Divine Lords, the Ten Schools League, Kuang Tianqing, Dao Qiankun... any one of these was a current hot word. As soon as this gambling game was announced, it immediately sparked a craze, attracting countless people to start placing bets.

Especially on the Tongtian Road promoted by the Divine Lords, besides the item of Kuang Tianqing capturing Zhang Yu, there were also various gambling items such as school rankings, number of captives per school, number of captives per individual, and so on.

In addition to the gambling items of the Ten Schools League, there were also tens of thousands of other gambling items on the platform, ensuring that every customer had something to bet on at every moment.
