Chapter 2516: Chapter 2615: Are We Going All Out? (Second Update)

Anyway, in the end, synchronized broadcast is very difficult and comes at a great cost.

Of course, once the synchronized broadcast is successful, the effect is naturally good.

In a vast and indescribable world like the Grand Cosmos World, in fact, as far back as the Ancient Era, about ten thousand Formation screens were built, and the minimum size of each Formation screen is no less than thirty thousand square meters.

It was a grand endeavor.

Now, in this era, the Formation screens in the Grand Cosmos World amount to about twenty thousand.

However, even with twenty thousand Formation screens, in fact, compared to the terrifying expanse of the Grand Cosmos World, it is still pitifully few, just a drop in the ocean.

Take, for example, starting from the Plane where the Saint Academy is located as the origin, radiating out to about a hundred thousand miles in all directions, altogether, there are only six Formation screens. Among them, two screens are too old to carry out synchronized broadcasts anymore.

As for the Ling Academy, although its foundation is decent and barely matches First-Class Forces, at the very best, it can synchronize all the Formation screens within a hundred thousand miles.

In other words, the Ling Academy plans to synchronize the scenes of the Four Great Academies’ exchange tournament to an area within a hundred thousand miles centered on the Saint Academy.

Is it worth it?

It is worth it.

Because, based on previous experience, each Formation screen can attract at least one billion viewers.

Four screens, that would be forty billion viewers.

Plus, the martial cultivators who have already arrived from other Planes to witness the exchange tournament at the Saint Academy number around more than ten billion.

So, initially calculated, this exchange tournament could have over fifty billion viewers.

It’s quite terrifying.

Over fifty billion people witnessing this personally, that has a massive influence, because after all, they are fifty billion people, not fifty billion inanimate objects; they can spread the word, they all have mouths. Additionally, what’s even scarier is that once synchronized broadcast happens, it means there will also be video footage produced, which can be copied onto smaller Memory Stones for distribution. This kind of spreading is more frightening and real than just word of mouth.

One can imagine, if anyone performs exceptionally well in the Four Great Academies’ exchange tournament.

What kind of reputation will they gain?

The academy behind them will also receive tremendous benefits.

Conversely, if someone performs poorly, what kind of disaster will they suffer? It should be known that the student sources of the Four Great Academies generally come from an area within a hundred thousand miles. Beyond that, talented students would choose other top-level forces nearby.

Now, the area within a hundred thousand miles is equivalent to being broadcast live.

Winning means winning everything.

Losing means losing everything as well.

It’s quite a gamble.

Even Chen Shoumu and Li Cangshan’s expressions were not looking good. Mu Lijian had not previously mentioned anything about the Formation screens. If he had, they would have seriously considered whether to participate in the exchange tournament.

After all, once the Formation screens are activated, their influence would be countless times greater than the Four Great Academies’ previous exchange tournaments.

Completely uncontrollable!

A moment of paradise, a moment of hell.

Playing it this big, Chen Shoumu and Li Cangshan really weren’t prepared.

The two of them stared closely at Mu Lijian, trying to find some source of confidence on his face, which was brimming with confidence. Where does the absolute confidence of Mu Lijian and the Ling Academy come from? They really had no reassurance in their hearts!

"What’s the matter? Is Dean Feng too afraid?" Mu Lijian stared at Feng Qiu. Seeing Feng Qiu remain silent, Mu Lijian’s voice became slightly more focused.

After all, the exchange tournament is held at the Saint Academy. If Feng Qiu outright refuses, Mu Lijian truly cannot do anything because it is the host that decides the final setup of facilities.

Even if the Ling Academy pays for synchronized broadcast, it still requires Feng Qiu’s nod of approval.

Feng Qiu remains silent, but Third Elder Wang and the others are extremely anxious, signaling vigorously to Feng Qiu with their eyes...

However.

After a few breaths.

Feng Qiu suddenly said, "Alright!"

Once those two words were spoken.

He left.

In the end, Feng Qiu decided to take a chance.

He is not conservative at all by nature; on the contrary, he is very aggressive.

He has gambled on Su Chen more than once before. Previously, didn’t everyone think Huang Zhi was invincible against Su Chen?!

Yet, in the end, wasn’t it Su Chen who won?

What’s more, this time, Su Chen personally sent a sound transmission.

So, bet on Su Chen.

There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Although, the outcome of this bet factually determines the life or death of the Saint Academy. If they lose, the Saint Academy could practically be delisted from the ranks of the Four Great Academies.

Because, once they lose, the synchronized broadcast means countless people within a hundred thousand miles will see the Saint Academy being crushed. The Saint Academy’s reputation will be gone, and in the future, hardly any new talented students will join. Without fresh blood, the academy will surely crumble.

But he still placed the bet.

If you’re going to gamble, gamble big.

After Feng Qiu left, Third Elder Wang, Elder Xuu, and Elder Guo nearly fainted on the spot.

The three even trembled slightly.

Gambling on a Desolate Chariot was one thing; if they truly lost, the damage would be enormous, but it wouldn’t harm the very foundation. However, once the broadcast happens and they lose, it would harm the very foundation.

When did Feng Qiu become so bold in gambling? The three elders even felt like swearing but could only forcibly maintain their composure in front of members from the other Three Great Academies.

"Quite spirited! Interesting!" Even Mu Lijian himself did not expect Feng Qiu to agree so readily. To tell the truth, he was somewhat impressed.

After this exchange tournament, the Saint Academy would be undeniably one level lower than the Ling Academy.

In the future, the Saint Academy would no longer be able to compete with the Ling Academy, and Feng Qiu would be hard-pressed to contend with him.

He even felt a bit sentimental.

After countless years of competition, there truly were feelings involved.

"Feng Qiu is really crazy." Chen Shoumu glanced at Li Cangshan, and just then, Li Cangshan was looking at him too. Both of them spoke up at once, their faces not looking good. Mu Lijian was the one who proposed the broadcast, and Feng Qiu was the one who agreed, leaving them completely uninvolved.

Yet, once the exchange tournament begins, they are also one of the Four Great Academies!

Victory or defeat also relates to the life or death of their academy!

Feng Qiu and Mu Lijian, these two maniacs!!!

Their hearts raced, both cursing Feng Qiu and Mu Lijian in their minds with unrestrained bitterness, yet neither mentioned withdrawing from the tournament.

There’s no need to even mention Chen Shoumu, with Gou Yan of the First Level Boundless Eight Desolations Realm.

All had some confidence.

Li Cangshan, on the other hand, considered the overall situation.

The Ming Academy has Gou Yan.

The Saint Academy has Su Chen.

The Ling Academy has Gu Xiu.

Alright, these three, we can’t mess with them.

But what about the others?

The Jade Academy boasts figures like Zhen Sisi and Luo Yunbing, significantly stronger overall.

If there’s a ranking for the top ten in the exchange tournament, he is confident that the Jade Academy can occupy three or even four spots.

So, Li Cangshan gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated yet reluctant to withdraw from the tournament.

In the end, although both Chen Shoumu and Li Cangshan were scared, there was also a bit of excitement amidst their anxiety.

Risk and opportunity coexist!

At this moment.

On the upper half of the Holy Mountain.

Aunt Yui and Feng Xi stood together, both silent for a long time.

Finally, someone spoke.

"Aunt Yui, where do you think the Ling Academy’s confidence comes from?" You You Feng Xi said, feeling not quite well because the terror of the Grand Cosmos World was far more daunting than she had imagined.
