The latest advertising quotes have been updated:

First place: Dao Qiankun from Wanfa University, with an advertising quote of 830 Spirit Coins per appearance.

Second place: Kuang Tianqing from Tianmo University, with an advertising quote of 750 Spirit Coins per appearance.

Third place: Yan Xiang from Youming University, with an advertising quote of 630 Spirit Coins per appearance.

On the third day of the competition, An Zhen Zhenjun, the coach of Wanfa University’s team, looked at the latest advertising quote rankings and thought, “The top three have all seen increases, especially Kuang Tianqing. After two consecutive days of action, her advertising quote is catching up quickly, getting closer and closer to Dao Qiankun.”

An Zhen Zhenjun then looked at the lower ranks: “The top ten are generally rising. Bai Zhenzhen, in particular, has been fighting alongside Dao Qiankun and seems to have made a breakthrough in her swordplay, rising from tenth to ninth place.”

“After the tenth spot, most are more or less dropping.”

“After all, as the competition progresses, traffic becomes increasingly concentrated at the top.”

Students were observed and analyzed one by one. When An Zhen Zhenjun’s gaze swept over Zhang Yu’s name, he noticed that Zhang Yu had fallen from 38th to 45th place.

This did not come as a surprise to An Zhen Zhenjun.

“After all, besides the first day’s battle, Zhang Yu has been cooped up at the construction site ever since, without any impressive performances, and fewer and fewer people are paying attention to him.”

“But this is also the correct strategy.”

“After all, he has been targeted by Kuang Tianqing. His name is probably marked with bright colors and special effects in Kuang Tianqing’s eye-sockets now.”

“It would be too dangerous to go out. It’s better to hide in the stronghold.”

“If he can hide until the very end, until Kuang Tianqing no longer has a chance to attack him, it could be considered a victory.”

“However…”

An Zhen Zhenjun looked at the live broadcast screen in front of him and thought to himself, “According to the current development of the situation, he probably won’t be able to hide much longer.”

Above the floating continent, in the Spirit Realm conference room, the divine lights representing the ten Transformation God principals gently rippled.

During the competition, although the ten Transformation Gods could not always be present to watch, they had each left a wisp of their divine sense to monitor the situation of the Ten Great Leagues. From time to time, they would also discuss with other Transformation God Divine Monarchs in the conference room.

And every time the Divine Monarchs conversed, every time their thoughts and intentions changed, every time they had a new perspective on the situation, as extensions of their thought tendrils… countless soul cultivators in the Spirit Realm would leave messages, post, and manipulate data, sparking waves of public opinion in the Spirit Realm.

Now, after the fierce battles of the first and second days, the battlefield on the third day had become much quieter. It seemed that the students from various schools had hidden themselves, no longer initiating battles easily.

However, in these two days, under the leadership of Dao Qiankun, the alliance of Wanfa and three other schools had captured a total of 12 prisoners, four more than the alliance of Tianmo and three other schools.

Tian Yan Shenjun of Wanfa University couldn’t help but say, “The teachings of the Eight Great Divine Monarchs seem to be nothing special after all.”

Zi Zai Shenjun of Tianmo University calmly said, “If it were truly nothing special, why would Dao Qiankun avoid battle?”

Ling Xi Shenjun of Hehuan University chuckled, “Tian Yan, I cannot pretend not to have heard what you just said. Are you implying that our dual cultivation techniques at Hehuan are inadequate?”

The principal of Tianyao University snorted and said, “Dao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing, these two are clearly intentionally or unintentionally avoiding direct confrontation. They both want to preserve their strength, lest someone else reaps the benefits.”

He sighed, “The human race still lacks the courage of us demon-kind to push themselves to the brink of death and then rise again.”

In an instant, the Transformation God principals, as if triggered, all voiced their opinions from within their divine lights.

Some expressed the superiority of the demon-kind, some affirmed the advanced nature of the human race, and some spoke of the unity and equality of humans and demons. However, the topic quickly returned to the competition, with discussions about Dao Qiankun and praises for the four schools including Tianmo.

And such a discussion among the Transformation Gods stirred up countless ripples in the Spirit Realm, causing wave after wave of changes in public opinion.

Every Transformation God was trying to guide public opinion for their own benefit.

Nevertheless, Dao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing, due to their powerful performances, popularity, wealth, and top-tier strength, had become the most popular contestants in the Ten Great Leagues, shining ever brighter.

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

All at once, the live broadcast popularity of the Ten Great Leagues began to soar continuously.

Tian Yan Shenjun said, “Old Zi Zai, how about we make a bet?”

Zi Zai Shenjun asked, “What do you want to bet on?”

Tian Yan Shenjun: “Didn’t Kuang Tianqing’s student say she would capture Zhang Yu within three days? I bet she won’t be able to do it.”

Zi Zai Shenjun calmly said, “It seems you believe Dao Qiankun’s students can protect Zhang Yu.”

“Fine, then I bet Kuang Tianqing can break through the protection of Dao Qiankun and the others and capture Zhang Yu alive.”

“Let’s open the betting on Tongtian Lu.”

Tongtian Lu, one of the largest gambling platforms on Kunxu Layer 2, advertised itself as “the fastest shortcut to immortal cultivation,” a “marketplace for opportunities,” and a “machine for creating serendipitous encounters,” claiming that every year, poor people embark on Tongtian Lu and, after suddenly becoming rich, rapidly advance on the path of immortal cultivation.

The next moment, the other Divine Monarchs also joined in, each placing their bets on Tongtian Lu.

Immediately after, the news of the ten school Divine Monarchs setting up a bet spread throughout the Spirit Realm, even being disseminated and published through the official channels of various schools.

And with the involvement of the Ten Great Divine Monarchs, the Ten Great Leagues, Kuang Tianqing, and Dao Qiankun—each a trending topic—the moment this bet was announced, it immediately created a sensation, attracting countless people to place their bets.

Especially on Tongtian Lu, as promoted by the Divine Monarchs, in addition to the bet on Kuang Tianqing capturing Zhang Yu, there were also various betting options like school rankings, the number of prisoners captured by schools, and the number of prisoners captured by individuals.

Besides the Ten Great League betting options, the platform also offered tens of thousands of other gambling projects, ensuring that every customer always had something to bet on.

And this time, with the Divine Monarchs’ traffic, Tongtian Lu instantly attracted immense capital.

Tian Xing Shenjun of Tianjian University silently watched this scene, thinking, “They’re becoming bookmakers again.”

Tian Xing Shenjun understood that although Tian Yan Shenjun and Zi Zai Shenjun, as the principals of Wanfa and Tianmo universities respectively, had many conflicting interests.

This did not prevent them from acting as bookmakers together to share the profits when needed.

Tian Xing Shenjun sighed, “A group of low-level cultivators, burdened with loans, deeply in debt, without the time or energy to fully follow the Ten Great Leagues, can only glance at it occasionally… and yet they still want to participate in a Transformation God’s gamble?”

“For low-level cultivators, gambling should be absolutely avoided.”

“But for Transformation Gods, gambling is merely an investment.”

As he spoke, his voice came from the divine light representing Tian Xing Shenjun.

“Count me in too.”

Meanwhile, on the floating continent’s arena, six hours remained until the end of the first match.

Underground in the prison, Zhang Yu slowly spat out the digested materials.

He had been repeating this process of eating, excreting, and processing materials for over fifty consecutive hours.

“Leading in the number of prisoners, and the four Tianmo schools have not made a move. The battlefield seems calm. The situation looks good, but…”

Zhang Yu knew in his heart that Kuang Tianqing must be preparing something.

Although their time together was short, Zhang Yu could feel that the other person was definitely not someone who would give up easily.

Just then, Ye Xingli sent a message to Zhang Yu: The four Tianmo schools might launch a general offensive.

Ye Xingli: For the rest of the time, remember to hide carefully. Don’t show your head, and don’t let Kuang Tianqing spot you.

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback by Ye Xingli’s message and asked where she got the information.

Zhang Yu then learned that the front-line students from Wanfa, Jingang, Xianbing, and Tianjian universities had held a meeting, where they shared the latest intelligence and concluded that Kuang Tianqing was gathering forces to launch a general offensive.

Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t invited to such a meeting; after all, his presence in the faction wasn’t high right now.

However, thanks to Ye Xingli’s reminder, Zhang Yu confirmed his judgment.

“Kuang Tianqing is coming… I should also hurry and prepare for the final things.”

Three hours remained until the end of the first match.

On the north side of the Wanfa Four Schools’ stronghold, Kuang Tianqing stood on nothingness, her figure shrouded by a dense cloud of mist overhead.

She looked at the giant fortress several kilometers away, her eyes seemingly piercing through layers of barriers to see Dao Qiankun, her biggest opponent this time.

Kuang Tianqing calmly said, “Dao Qiankun, if you want a group battle, then let’s have a group battle.”

Behind Kuang Tianqing stood three figures: the top students from Youming, Baigu, and Hehuan universities.

Kuang Tianqing turned to Yan Xiang from Youming University and said, “Begin.”

“Say hello to Dao Qiankun, tell him… we have arrived.”

Accompanying the tremors of the earth, countless demonic beasts crawled out from the ground.

In addition to being supplied with various resources, the floating continent also had a large number of demonic beasts forming part of its ecosystem.

But at this moment, these demonic beasts were all mangled, their bodies stiff, imbued with death qi, completely devoid of any signs of life.

This was because they had all been transformed by Yan Xiang of Youming University into corpse demons, fearless in death, devoid of pain or sensation, retaining only simple intelligence and combat instincts.

Clearly, in these three days, it wasn’t just Zhang Yu who was developing using the arena’s resources; others in different schools were also temporarily enhancing their combat power by leveraging the environment.

A vast, dark army of corpse demons burst from the ground and charged directly towards the fortress, surging forward like a torrent.

At the same time, countless defensive structures on the outer perimeter of the fortress activated, and bolts of thunder and fire surged upwards.

Then, students began to take turns attacking, suppressing the incoming corpse demons one by one.
