Chapter 638 Copyright Bet, War Begins

In the waiting area, Jiutian Liu looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Junior brother, didn't we agree to gather intelligence for me?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Senior, there's no better way to gather intelligence than to directly defeat the enemy."

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

Jiutianliu looked directly at Zhang Yu and said, "Yes, next... it will be a competition between you and me."

“Junior brother…” Jiutian Liu looked deeply at Zhang Yu and said, word by word, “Do you want to beat me?”

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

With each victory and achievement, Zhang Yu's confidence grew stronger.

In particular, his victory against Ying Mingchi this time means that his overall strength has reached the level of the school's top, and he is qualified to compete with the top students of other schools.

"Senior..."

Next, whether facing Jiutian Liu in front of him or in post-match interviews with reporters, Zhang Yu expressed his ambition to the world for the first time and made his voice heard to the world.

"I want to be number one."

"Senior Dao Qiankun has already left."

"In this year's top ten leagues, there is no one I would be willing to put on the throne."

"In that case, I've decided to defeat all my opponents myself."

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

Zhang Yu's speech resonated throughout the spirit world.

One of the demon descendants cried out in anguish, "Why did Zhang Yu win?! Seeing him win is more painful than eating me!"

A fan of Jihu asked: "Why do I think Zhang Yu is the most undeserving of the top eight contestants?"

Some students from the weapon crafting department were studying Zhang Yu's physical strength, some students from the breeding department were discussing Zhang Yu's creation of dragon beasts, and many others were assessing how much infringement compensation Zhang Yu would have to pay after this battle.

Some demon descendants insisted on the theory that humans and demons share the same origin, and began to argue that Zhang Yu had used the demon bloodline within him to defeat Ying Mingchi and become one of the top eight contestants.

As for Zhang Yu's comment section, it has been overrun by all sorts of people, making it a chaotic mess.

In addition to insults, many people also sent Zhang Yu all sorts of threatening private messages.

Tianyao University, Jihu Company, and Yingmingchi also filed lawsuits against him, accusing him of insulting the demon race, insulting Jihu, and infringing on the rights of using dragon blood.

At this moment, Zhang Yu truly felt that he was standing at the forefront of attention, under the spotlight, with countless people and things coming his way.

However, due to this popularity, the advertising fees for the next match also skyrocketed, quickly breaking through the 200 spirit coins mark.

Anzhen Zhenjun also contacted him after the match and said, "The school's legal team will handle the lawsuit for you. It won't waste your time and energy. You don't need to worry about it for now. Continue to focus all your energy on the match."

"However, you need to prepare the compensation for the infringement yourself. If you don't have enough spirit coins, you can borrow them from the school."

Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, realizing the benefits of having Wanfa University as a powerful backer.

Zhang Yu asked, "Then what will be the outcome of my battle against Jiutian Liu?"

Anzhen Zhenjun said, "In the next battle, the school will not strongly support any of you for the time being. Instead, whoever wins will be supported to fight Kuangtian Qing."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu felt relieved. The school's decision not to continue supporting Jiu Tianliu but instead to let them compete against each other was already a very good result for him.

With only a week left to prepare, Zhang Yu still had a lot to do.

The body's injuries need to heal, the damaged Seven Absolute Dharma Bodies need to be repaired, and other items such as the Heavenly Sun God, the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword, and the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor also need to be maintained.

Then there's the combat copyright for Dragon Blood, which Zhang Yu also hopes to acquire, as it would greatly enhance his strength.

In addition, he also needed to go to the mourning hall to accompany Dao Qiankun, hoping to replicate the Dao seed from the other party.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yu realized that time was running out, and his spirit coins were becoming increasingly scarce as he grew stronger.

So as soon as the competition ended that day, he went back to the laboratory and assigned tasks to his assistants.

Then Zhang Yu left Tian Ri Huang Shen as his avatar to oversee the work in the laboratory, while he himself went straight into the mourning hall. While looking at Dao Qiankun's corpse, he contacted Ying Ming Chi, wanting to discuss the Dragon Blood copyright with him.

Yingmingchi's projection looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and said, "You want to buy the copyright for the operation? Hmph, even if you buy it now, you still have to pay the previous infringement fees."

Zhang Yu said, "Name your price first."

Ying Mingchi said, "300 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu retorted angrily, "Are you delirious from the fever?"

Ying Mingchi calmly replied, "300 spirit coins. I can sell you the breeding rights as a package deal. You can raise them however you like."

Zhang Yu frowned: "It's still too expensive, and I only use it for combat, so I have no interest in breeding rights."

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

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

"Use your blood to buy your breeding rights."

Without even thinking, Zhang Yu refused, saying, "No."

Zhang Yu then stated his conditions: "From now on, every product I manufacture using your dragon blood will be labeled with your name, indicating its origin. How about that?"

Ying Mingchi raised a brow: "Oh?"

Zhang Yu continued, "I will defeat Jiutian Liu, defeat each and every opponent, and finally stand on the final stage to compete against Kuang Tianqing and win the championship."

"Don't you want to see your name appear in the finals? Don't you want to see your blood used in the fight for the championship?"

Ying Mingchi suddenly laughed: "Zhang Yu, who said you discriminate against demons? I don't think you discriminate against demons at all."

Zhang Yu laughed as well: "I don't discriminate against demons, I only discriminate against the Extreme Tiger Demon..." The next moment, Ying Mingchi's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "But all of this depends on you defeating Jiutian Liu."

“You’re right,” Zhang Yu said. “So we should sign a tiered performance-based contract.”

"If I lose the next match, I'll have to pay to buy the copyright to your Dragon Blood game."

"But if I win the next game..."

Ying Mingchi looked at the contract handed to him, which clearly stated that the cost of purchasing the copyright decreased after each of Zhang Yu's victories.

Even in the final battle against Kuang Tianqing, the cost of the Dragon Blood copyright is only 30 spirit coins.

If they defeat Kuang Tianqing, Ying Mingchi will pay 100 spirit coins as an advertising fee.

Ying Mingchi sneered, "You expect me to pay you for advertising?"

Zhang Yu said, "Imagine this scene: a dragon created with your dragon blood tramples Kuang Tianqing underfoot and humiliates her madly."

"What do you think of the headline, 'Humanity ultimately triumphs thanks to the dragon blood of the demon race'?"

Ying Mingchi had to admit that he was tempted.

But he still didn't believe Zhang Yu could defeat Kuang Tianqing.

“Alright, I won’t cheat you,” Ying Mingchi said. “If you make it to the finals, I’ll charge you 1 spirit coin for the copyright. But if you lose any match before the finals, you’ll need to spend 288 spirit coins to buy the full copyright to my Dragon Blood.”

"As for the infringement of your rights in this battle..."

Ying Mingchi smiled and said, "If you can really defeat Kuang Tianqing, then we can call it even."

After signing the performance-based agreement, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. While operating the Heavenly Sun God in the laboratory, he also started a live broadcast of the funeral hall.

Zhang Yu could sense that as the Top Ten Leagues continued, the intensity of the battles was increasing, and the consumption of spirit coins was also increasing.

Taking advantage of his current popularity, Zhang Yu wants to earn more money to prepare for the upcoming competition.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yu's live stream was once again banned for 24 hours due to copyright bomb attacks from haters.

He couldn't help but sigh, turned off the live stream, and looked at Dao Qiankun's corpse in front of him.

But he discovered that the phantom of the artifact spirit had appeared out of nowhere and was looking at him.

Seeing Zhang Yu stop, the artifact spirit said, "You're still streaming your cultivation during the break from the competition. Are you working so hard because you want to win the championship?"

Zhang Yu nodded: "Yes, Jiutian Liu has a Nascent Soul Master behind him and resources from the financial sector."

"Behind Kuang Tianqing, there are people all over the world supporting him."

"If I want to compete with them, I have to make the most of every minute."

The spirit said, "Not everyone in the world supports Kuang Tianqing. Even if the living support him, the dead will not."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: "A dead person? You mean a soul cultivator?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Probably. I don't know if the longevity cultivation technique can extend the lifespan of a soul cultivator."

The spirit said, "Extending life through soul cultivation is possible, it is possible... but it's also highly unlikely..."

Zhang Yu shook his head, wondering how he had ended up chatting with a mentally challenged artifact spirit, and then refocused his attention on the artifact spirit's own affairs.

At the same time, Zhang Yu could sense that the Dao Seeds on these Heavenly Dao Universes were appearing more and more frequently, and were about to appear completely in front of him.

……

Just as Zhang Yu was making the most of his development time.

Jiutian Liu did not stop his efforts to become stronger.

Feng Tingting, Mo Shangjin, Su Yanyang, Bei Wufeng, Jin Jun... Regardless of whether they were from the Civil Engineering Department or the Weapon Forging Department, almost all the students who had contact with or competed with Zhang Yu were contacted by people from the Nine Heavens Flowing Sect, who collected a large amount of information about Zhang Yu.

In addition, Jiutianliu has invested a lot of resources in the Spirit Realm, which not only increases the intensity of this battle but also frantically increases his luck.

Countless famous internet celebrities and renowned teachers have stepped forward to predict that Jiutianliu will win, defeat Zhang Yu, and become one of the top four contestants.

A large number of students began to promote Jiutianliu's status as the top finance school among ten universities.

Jiutianliu connected with the demon race, proclaiming his opposition to discrimination against them. He had many demon race friends and received a lot of support from them.

During an event, Jiu Tianliu's master, the Golden Palace Divine Lord of Wanfa University, expressed his optimism that Jiu Tianliu would make it to the finals.

With increasing support and belief that he can defeat Zhang Yu and advance to the semifinals, Jiu Tianliu's luck is growing stronger. Polls show that over 7% of people believe Jiu Tianliu will win this match.

When Jiutian Liu stepped onto the battlefield, his aura was already stronger than ever before, with a blue light seemingly surrounding his head and auspicious clouds gathering beneath his feet.

Meanwhile, Jiutian Liu's name floated everywhere on the floating continent, all of them advertisements for him.

When Jiutian Liu reached his peak state, the earth seemed to tremble as he took a step forward.

On the advertising projections of various universities, Jiu Tianliu's image was constantly appearing, playing his declaration of victory.

On the field, Jiutian Liu pointed a finger to the sky, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered with his thoughts.

The live stream camera focused on him, and his battlefield footage and live stream data reached number one in popularity, ten times that of other players amidst a flood of online trolls.

On the field, with a soft shout from Jiutianliu, the sky opened up, countless rays of light enveloped him, and his aura surged once again.

Looking at Zhang Yu ahead, Jiutian Liu, who had entered his peak state, pointed out with one finger, unleashing an unprecedented immortal killing move.

This move is beyond Foundation Establishment, falling somewhere between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

With this strike, he intended to kill Zhang Yu instantly.

He wants to win this match with an indisputable and absolute victory, to move from one peak to the next, step by step to the highest point, and to ascend the throne.
