Chapter 630: Copyright Gamble, War

In the waiting area, Jiu Tianliu was looking at Zhang Yu in front of him and said, "Junior, weren't we supposed to gather intel for me?"

Zhang Yu smiled and replied, "Senior, how could gathering intel be as satisfying as directly defeating the opponent?"

"Besides, you won't need to fight Ying Mingchi anymore."

Jiu Tianliu stared straight at Zhang Yu and said, "Yeah, next... it's going to be a competition between you and me."

"Junior..." Jiu Tianliu looked deeply at Zhang Yu and said word by word, "Do you want to defeat me?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu no longer avoided the gaze.

With each victory and every achievement under his belt, Zhang Yu's confidence in speaking grew stronger.

Especially his victory over Ying Mingchi this time represented that his overall strength had reached the top tier of the school, qualifying him to contend with the top students from other schools.

"Senior..."

Next, whether facing Jiu Tianliu in front of him or the reporters' interviews after the match, Zhang Yu for the first time expressed his ambition to the world and let his voice be heard by heaven and earth.

"I want to take first place."

"Senior Dao Qiankun has already passed away."

"In this Ten Schools League, there's no one left whom I would willingly place on the throne."

"Since that's the case, I've decided to defeat all opponents myself."

"I will ascend the throne and become the strongest among the ten schools."

As Zhang Yu made this declaration, countless echoes resounded throughout the spirit world.

Some demon descendants lamented bitterly: "Why did Zhang Yu win! Seeing him win hurts more than being eaten."

Some Jihu fans asked: "Why do I think Zhang Yu is the most undeserving among the top eight?"

Students from the Artifice Department were studying Zhang Yu's physical durability, students from the Breeding Department were discussing Zhang Yu's creation of dragon beasts, and many were evaluating how much compensation Zhang Yu would have to pay for infringement after this battle.

Some demon descendants insisted on the theory of a common origin between humans and demons, and began arguing that Zhang Yu had activated his own demon bloodline, which was why he defeated Ying Mingchi and became a top eight contender.

As for Zhang Yu's comment section, it had been overrun by all kinds of people, turning into a chaotic mess.

Many not only insulted him but also sent him various threatening private messages.

Moreover, Tianyao University, Jihu Corporation, and Ying Mingchi all successively threatened to sue him for insulting demon descendants, insulting Jihu, and infringing on the use of dragon blood.

At that moment, Zhang Yu truly felt that he was standing at the peak of the storm, receiving the attention of tens of thousands, with countless people and matters coming at him.

However, thanks to this popularity, the advertising fees for the next match skyrocketed, quickly breaking the 200 Spirit Coins mark.

An Zhen Zhenjun also contacted him after the match and said, "The university's legal team will handle the lawsuits for you; they won't waste your time and energy. For now, you don't need to worry and can focus all your attention on the competition."

"But you need to prepare the infringement compensation yourself. If you don't have enough Spirit Coins, you can borrow from the university."

Zhang Yu let out a light sigh, feeling the benefits of having Wanfa University as his backing.

Zhang Yu asked, "What about the outcome of my next match against Jiu Tianliu?"

An Zhen Zhenjun said, "For the next match, the university will not strongly support either of you for the time being. Instead, whoever wins, we will support that person to fight against Kuang Tianqing."

Zhang Yu's heart settled upon hearing this; the university had not continued to support Jiu Tianliu but instead let them compete against each other, which was a very good result for him.

There was still a week of preparation time left, but Zhang Yu had many things to do.

His physical injuries needed to heal, his damaged Qijue Fahai needed repair, and other equipment such as the Tianri Huangshen, Taihao Shengliu Flying Sword, and Bishui Jinjing Armor also needed maintenance.

Additionally, he hoped to purchase the combat copyright of the dragon blood, which would be another major boost to his strength.

Besides that, he also needed to go to the Spirit Hall to accompany Dao Qiankong, hoping to replicate the Dao Seed from his body.

After a brief thought, Zhang Yu felt that the more he thought, the less time he had, and the stronger he became, the faster his Spirit Coins ran out.

So as soon as the match ended that day, he first returned to the laboratory and assigned tasks to his assistants.

Then Zhang Yu left the Tianri Huangshen as his avatar to manage the lab, while he himself plunged into the Spirit Hall. While looking at Dao Qiankun's corpse, he contacted Ying Mingchi to discuss the dragon blood copyright.

Ying Mingchi's projection looked at Zhang Yu and said, "You want to buy the combat copyright? Hmph, even if you buy it now, you'll still have to pay the infringement fees from before."

Zhang Yu said, "Name your price first."

Ying Mingchi said, "300 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu snapped, "Are you delirious from fever?"

Ying Mingchi said coolly, "300 spirit coins. I can even bundle the breeding rights with it and sell it to you, and you can cultivate it however you like."

Zhang Yu frowned. "Still too expensive, and I only need it for combat. I have no interest in breeding rights."

Ying Mingchi said, "My true dragon bloodline is a truly awakened bloodline. You should know that's different from ordinary dragon blood."

"If you want a cheaper price, that's not impossible."

"Trade me your blood instead. I want to buy your breeding rights."

Zhang Yu refused without a second thought. "No."

Zhang Yu then stated his own terms. "From now on, every product I make using your dragon blood will be marked with your name to indicate its origin. How about that?"

Ying Mingchi raised his dragon eyes. "Oh?"

Zhang Yu continued, "I will defeat Jiutian Liu, defeat every opponent one by one, and ultimately stand on the finals stage to decide the winner against Kuang Tianqing, and take the championship."

"Don't you want to see your own name appear on the finals stage? Don't you want to see your blood participate in the fight for the championship?"

Ying Mingchi suddenly laughed. "Zhang Yu, who exactly said you discriminate against the demonic descendants? As far as I can see, you don't discriminate against them at all."

Zhang Yu also laughed. "I don't discriminate against demonic descendants. I only discriminate against the Extreme Tiger demon..."
