The president said, “He only placed the bet at night and it seems like he’s going to put everything on the line. The teacher in charge of the bets asked him if he was really sure. He said he was confident but he still insisted on placing the bet.”
Wang Tianyu said indifferently, “Then let’s watch and see where his confidence lies. Continue observing. After the match tomorrow, tell me the results.”
“Yes. Speaking of which, I’m feeling a little nervous for him! Does this brat not know what 75 purple emblems represent? He can even buy a 100,000-year immortal herb, right?” The president couldn’t help but say.
Wang Tianyu turned to look at him and couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you a little envious of your junior?”
The president shrugged and nodded his head. He didn’t deny it. “I didn’t make such bold moves at his age and I wouldn’t have dared to. However, I have to admit that people with a sense of adventure will advance very quickly once they succeed.”
Wang Tianyu shook his head. “That’s where you’re wrong. It’s true that taking risks makes it possible for you to break through at high speed, but for someone like him, once he fails once, it’s very likely that he’ll never be able to recover from that. Your path is very stable, and I have high hopes for you.”
“Teacher, don’t worry, my path is already fixed. No matter how envious I am of my junior, I will not change my path.” The president smiled.
“Have you passed the eighth rank?” Wang Tianyu asked.
“It should be about time. Currently I feel that I have a chance of breaking through to the 8th rank.” The president clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with excitement.
“En. When you break through to the 8th rank, join the Divine Sword Plan,” Wang Tianyu said in a low voice.
“Alright, thank you, Teacher.” The president was clearly excited.

Sitting upright in the meditation room, Lan Xuanyu was unable to enter a meditative state for a long time. He was truly nervous and perturbed.
After much difficulty, his heart gradually calmed down and he began to introspect himself.
He was still too rash ! Although he was very confident, how could he be sure that his opponent didn’t have any special trump cards ? What if his opponent had had a special breakthrough or an ability to reverse the situation?
If he lost, he would have to pay 50 purple emblems. Such a lesson would be too painful.
I can’t only think of good outcomes when doing things! I have to consider bad outcomes too. This is the only time and it won’t happen ever again.’ Lan Xuanyu stood up slowly and felt the abundant life energy in the meditation room. He raised his hand and raised three fingers as he swore in his heart.
He had to be more stable tomorrow. Even if he had to reveal some of his abilities, he had to prioritize stability.
With that thought, he dialed a number.
“Frenzie, it’s me,” Lan Xuanyu said into his soul communication device.
“En, what is it? Xuanyu.” Liu Feng’s voice came from the other side.
Lan Xuanyu said, “To ensure tomorrow’s victory, I’ll go on stage. Don’t go on stage tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Liu Feng agreed without asking why.
“Alright then, I won’t disturb your cultivation.”
After hanging up, Lan Xuanyu’s heart finally stabilized. Tomorrow, he would definitely win. He had to control this battle and not let anything unexpected happen.
Tactically, he needed to make some adjustments.
During the morning classes, Lan Xuanyu specially called Yuanen Huihui and Bing Tianliang to the back row and discussed his latest strategy with them.
When he heard that Lan Xuanyu was going to fight, Yuanen Huihui was the first to express his support. He really wanted to fight alongside Lan Xuanyu because with Lan Xuanyu around, he felt that he didn’t have to worry about anything and just had to carry out Lan Xuanyu’s orders.
Bing Tianliang was the same. Ever since he started to collaborate with Lan Xuanyu, he had never lost.
So when Lan Xuanyu told them that he was going to take Liu Feng’s place, the feedbacks he received exceeded Lan Xuanyu’s expectations. He immediately realized how Bing Tianliang and Yuanen Huihui had become very confident. They didn’t even listen carefully to his tactics.
Those guys…
Lan Xuanyu himself didn’t know how important the existence of a spiritual leader was to a team. There was no doubt that he was such one not only their team, but for all of the first years as well.
“I was wondering why the odds on the other side changed last night. Did they know that you were going to appear personally?” Bing Tianliang asked.
The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. Of course, he wouldn’t say that it was because of his bet.
After school in the afternoon, Xiao Qi called Lan Xuanyu over.
“Are you confident about the competition this afternoon?” Xiao Qi asked.
“No problem, I’m confident. Three against one, it’s not a problem for us to fight the third years. The third years are still at the One-Word Battle Armor stage. The fourth years only have a few Two-Word Battle Armor components at most. This is something that we can do. It will only become really troublesome starting from the fifth and sixth years. Teacher, don’t worry, we will definitely win against the third years.”
Xiao Qi laughed. “I thought you would be confident enough to tell me that you guys will definitely get through everything.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed bitterly. “How could it be so easy! But we will definitely fight with absolute confidence of winning. Otherwise, we might as well not fight No matter what, this is a good experience for us. Even if we lose, we won’t regret it.”
“I have two things to tell you,” Xiao Qi said. “Firstly, the academy has approved your request. If you guys can really get through and defeat the sixth years, then our entire class can go to the Elven planet to watch the ceremony. The academy will handle the specifics. Secondly, the gravity of the ceremony is more important than we thought. The one undergoing the tribulation is the true ruler of the Soul Beasts on the Elven planet. He was once the leader of the Ten Great Beasts, the Beast God known as the leader of the soul beasts. The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.”
Upon hearing the first piece of news, a smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face, but when he heard the second piece of news, his eyes widened.
“Di Tian ?” His voice trembled slightly.
What sort of existence was Di Tian ? His father, Lan Xiao, researched ancient soul beasts. When he was very young, Lan Xiao often told him stories about soul beasts. There were many almighty beings in the world of soul beasts, and among them, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, was the most impressive.
The title of the leader of the Ten Great Beasts had always been like a halo above the heads of humans for tens of thousands of years. This was a powerful beast that had existed since ancient times. It was said that it had a cultivation of over 800,000 years.
It wasn’t that the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, had truly lived for 800,000 years, but that he had experienced a total of eight Heavenly Tribulations that only soul beasts with a cultivation of over 100,000 years would encounter, and he had successfully passed all of them.
This was unique in the world of soul beasts. There was even a saying that if not for the fact that soul beasts were unable to become gods, he would have long since become an existence on the level of gods.
This person’s reputation was simply too resounding! That was the Beast God Di Tian!
The one going through the tribulation this time was actually this mighty figure. Lan Xuanyu felt a little regretful. Although he didn’t know what benefits this sort of ceremony would bring, being able to witness it with his own eyes was definitely a rare experience in life!
Now, almost no one in the first years could attend the ceremony. This…
“Are you regretting?” Xiao Qi looked at him with a faint smile.
Lan Xuanyu coughed. “No, because there is no medicine for regret in this world. What’s the use of regretting? Teacher Xiao, this will stimulate our fighting spirit. If we win, we will have a chance to attend the ceremony together!”
Xiao Qi smiled. “Then work hard.”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly lowered his voice. “Teacher Xiao, how many emblems do you think we need to spend to bribe a fifth or sixth year senior?”
Xiao Qi’s expression froze and he knocked him on the head. “What are you thinking about? This time, you guys challenged someone of a higher year and succeeded. The news has already spread. It’s not about emblems, it’s about glory. Do you understand ? The student representatives of each year carry with them the honor of their year. Who would dare to be bribed by you?”
