Chapter 1803 - 508: Lu Changsheng's Rise to Fame, Qi Fortune Surges!

Outside the Cosmic Peak, betting on the matches is extremely common.

And over time it has developed into a very professional, very comprehensive system.

As time went by.

The Cosmic Peak started hyping up Flying Dragon Mountain's Dominator-level Direct Disciple Lu Changsheng challenging the No.3 arena's Main General Mo Wen, and this news quickly spread.

But the odds for the two of them outside the arena still needed some time.

Because an investigation was needed.

Lu Changsheng counts as a "newcomer" to the Cosmic Peak, so of course they have to investigate thoroughly; they won't just throw out odds for no reason.

"This Lu Changsheng, I really haven't heard of him."

"Looks like he used the quota recommended by Flying Dragon Mountain, skipping the selection matches and going straight to challenge an Arena Master. He originally could've directly challenged an Overlord Level Arena Master, but now Lu Changsheng is only challenging a Main General Level Arena Master—probably because he doesn't have confidence in his own strength."

"Flying Dragon Mountain may be a Dominator Level force, but the Flying Dragon Dominator doesn't pick disciples for their combat strength. The disciples Flying Dragon Mountain has sent to the Cosmic Peak in the past have basically never been outstanding, they've almost never even produced an Overlord Level Arena Master."

"I think I'll bet on Mo Wen this time."

"Wait a bit longer, they should soon finish digging up Lu Changsheng's info."

A lot of people were paying attention to this news.

After all, the "newcomer" Lu Changsheng is tied to a Dominator Level force, so he naturally has a high level of buzz.

"It's out. Lu Changsheng at odds of two, Mo Wen at odds of three."

"Huh, Lu Changsheng's odds are actually lower? Does that mean Lu Changsheng is judged stronger than Mo Wen?"

"Mo Wen climbed up step by step from the selection battles, and he even defended the arena through several challenges before. How come his odds are still higher than Lu Changsheng's? What's so special about this Lu Changsheng that makes so many people favor him?"

"News is already out. Lu Changsheng used to be a Realm Master of the Eternal Light Commerce, then went to Flying Dragon Mountain for their trials, where he suddenly exploded on the Soul Ladder and eventually cleared it. Afterwards, on the Soul Puzzle, the Flying Dragon Dominator personally broke precedent to grant him three more years, and he managed to assemble nine Soul Maps, which made the Flying Dragon Dominator value him highly."

"For the Flying Dragon Dominator to break the rules and give this Lu Changsheng three extra years shows just how much importance the Dominator places on him; he's definitely not ordinary."

"Seems like for Lu Changsheng's first battle, many forces are in fact quite optimistic about him. After all, since Flying Dragon Mountain is willing to send Lu Changsheng out, they can't have him lose his very first match—that would make Flying Dragon Mountain lose face, wouldn't it?"

"No, I still believe in Mo Wen. A parachuted Realm Master—so what if he's from Flying Dragon Mountain? If Mo Wen wins this battle, it'll be a meteoric rise."

"Right, I'm betting on Mo Wen too…"

Even though the odds released outside the arena were in fact more favorable toward Lu Changsheng.

The Cultivators placing bets weren't the same.

They were more optimistic about Mo Wen.

Maybe they all hope Mo Wen can defeat Lu Changsheng.

After all, Mo Wen climbed up step by step from the bottom-tier selection matches.

Whereas Lu Changsheng is a "parachuted" newcomer.

So there are naturally very few Cultivators who have a good impression of Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng also received the news about the odds right away.

"My odds are lower? Only two… In that case, I'll bet all thirty thousand Source Crystals."

Lu Changsheng had about thirty thousand Source Crystals on him.

That was all of his Source Crystals.

He put it all in.

These odds being this low was actually beyond Lu Changsheng's expectations.

He hadn't thought those major forces would be more optimistic about him.

Perhaps it had to do with Flying Dragon Mountain.

After all, the Flying Dragon Dominator clearly values Lu Changsheng highly.

Someone the Flying Dragon Dominator values wouldn't be an ordinary person, right?

Mo Wen might have looked strong, climbing step by step from the bottom-tier selection.

But in the eyes of those big shots standing high above, without background and without resources, how could he compare to Lu Changsheng?

Of course, Mo Wen might be unconvinced.

Many bottom-tier Cultivators might be unconvinced.

But it didn't matter; after the battle in a month, it would naturally be clear who was superior.

Lu Changsheng didn't care about the chaos and noise outside.

He was studying the Green Lotus Treasure Lamp.

With the Green Lotus Treasure Lamp, Lu Changsheng could indeed inflate his strength.

However, each inflation requires ten years.

Lu Changsheng now needed to prepare for the arena battle and had no time to spend on inflation.

So he could only wait until after the arena battle before making plans.

Time flashed by, and a month passed in a hurry.

The time had come for Lu Changsheng to challenge No.3 arena's Main General Mo Wen.

In fact, there are many arena battles at the Cosmic Peak.

But not all of them necessarily draw a lot of spectators.

Only those exciting battles, those with high attention, will have large audiences.

Lu Changsheng may be a "newcomer," but his buzz is high, and he's a Dominator's Direct Disciple.

He parachuted into the Cosmic Peak, and this is his first arena battle.

His opponent is Mo Wen.

An utterly ordinary bottom-tier Transcender.

Relying on his own strength, he climbed step by step from the selection matches to today.

Their identities and backgrounds are completely different.

Yet it's precisely this kind of clash that draws exceptionally high attention.

Below the arena, crowds packed in layer after layer.

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Fang Chuan and Lin Qingluan, arrived at the back of the arena.

"Junior Brother Lu, go on up."

"In an arena battle, never hold back. Arena battles are life-and-death fights; either you die or he dies. Unless someone admits defeat, it won't stop—remember that, remember that."

Fang Chuan reminded him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, I'll keep it in mind."

Lu Changsheng nodded, then walked out through the passage behind the arena.

"He's out, Lu Changsheng has come out."

"A Dominator's Direct Disciple—tsk tsk, that's quite a status."
