Chapter 250 Fang Chang VS Seven-Star Prodigy!
Chapter 250 Fang Chang VS Seven-Star Prodigy!
Fang Chang had a well-built body, and he stood out from all the other Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples.
The look of him in his armor while holding his Dragon Spear had awed the crowd.
He was the First Senior Brother indeed. No one could doubt his courage.
He was so calm and confident even when facing a supreme treasure like the God of War Pagoda and all the past prodigies in the Celestial World.
His confidence was rarely seen in other cultivators, let alone his ability to reach Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
Everyone believed that Fang Chang would be the one leading the sacred ground if Shen Tian had not appeared.
He was definitely strong enough to compete with any other Saints!
Upon Fang Chang’s request, the God of War Pagoda’s door opened slowly, and a rainbow color light appeared.
It shone on Fang Chang and led him into the tower.
Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yunxi stood in front of the pagoda too.
“I am Zhang Yunting, Divine Firmament’s disciple. I would like to see how strong the prodigies in the Celestial World are. Would the godly pagoda please guide me to enter the
trial?”
“I am Zhang Yunxi, Divine Firmament’s disciple. I would like to see how strong the prodigies in the Celestial World are. Would the godly pagoda please guide me to enter the trial?”
The door opened again, and the light enshrouded both of them.
After a few moments, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhang Yunting appeared on the God of War platform.
They were in different dimensions, and they did not meet one another.
They looked around but did not see anyone.
Then, a soft female voice appeared.
“Young men and lady, welcome to the God of War platform.
“You can fight with the countless prodigies here with no restriction.
“If you beat these prodigies, you can have all kinds of precious heritage mystic arts.
“Even if you lose, the cost will just be some Spirit Stones. It’s a very good deal!
“Also, if you guys perform well enough, your name will be carved on the God of War Tablet!”
An azure tablet appeared on the platform in front of the three of them.
There were many famous names on it, and Fang Chang had heard most of them, past Sacred Leaders of Jade Lake, Divine Firmament, some invincible cultivators, some legends who had already reached Immortal Ascension...
Whoever’s name was on this tablet, they must have completed something extraordinary in their life.
Unless they met an accident somehow, they would be very successful in life!
Zhang Yunxi looked through the names on the tablet and frowned.
In an unsatisfied tone, she said, “Pagoda Spirit, why is Shen Tian’s name not on the list? Is he not good enough for it?”
Not only that, Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was ranked higher than her father? How was that possible?
Of course, Zhang Yunxi was more curious about why Shen Tian was not in the top 100. The female voice laughed and said, “Miss, do you think it’s unfair for Shen Tian?
“No worries. Shen Tian had passed the pagoda trial and was deemed to be the only Seven-Star Prodigy in your world.
“It’s his decision not to reveal his name on the tablet. The pagoda will respect that.
“Miss, if you manage to be the top 100 on the God Of War List, you can choose to be anonymous too. “However, that will cost 10,000 Spirit Stones.” Zhang Yunxi was shocked.
Although the price was not much to her, the amount was beyond imagination.
,000 just for hiding the name? That was so unreasonable!
Zhang Yunxi decided not to bother about it too much as she learned that Shen Tian had been deemed as a Seven Star Prodigy by the pagoda.
She said calmly, “Pagoda Spirit, tell me the rules.”
“Alright, listen carefully. “The God of War platform is the core for the God of War Pagoda. The illusion of prodigies in both immortal and human worlds can be created here.
“You can challenge all kinds of prodigies here and gain lots of experience from it.
“After you beat a One-Star Prodigy, you will be rewarded with a one-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, you lose 10 God of War points.
“Beating a Two-Star Prodigy will get you a two-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, you lose 30 God of War points.
IIII
“Four-Star Prodigy, four-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, it will cost 300 God of War points.
“The rewards for subsequent prodigies follow the same rule, but all of them cost 1,000 God of War points if you lose.
“You can redeem God of War points with Spirit Stones, Dharma treasures, and pills. Each point is worth about 10 Spirit Crystals, that’s 10,000 Spirit Stones.”
Zhang Yunxi thought for a moment and said, “I’ve read that One-Star Prodigies should cost 100 God of War points instead?”
The female laughed and explained, “The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, has discussed the cost with us, and this is the result.
“We are doing a favor for the cultivators in the five regions by allowing them to access the tower with a 90% discount!
“Also, since you are the Saintess of Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, you can enjoy a further 50% discount on top of the current promotion!
“This is really a good deal! For a limited time only. Hurry, before you miss the chance!” So I have to thank Junior Brother Shen Tian for the current discount?
Zhang Yunxi blushed. “Alright, thanks for the answer.”
Zhang Yunting was also talking to the Pagoda Spirit on the other platform. He carried his exquisite Chinese zither and asked, “Pagoda Spirit, is this kind of battle the only one in the God of War Pagoda?”
The female voice answered, “Yes, young man. Is there a problem?”
Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “Yunting believes that this is not the best strategy for the tower to profit. “The cultivators coming here to train are not likely to have a drastic change in power since they are already considered to be prodigies. “Thus, if they were to constantly lose in the battle, they would eventually lose everything and would not visit here again.
“On the other hand, if they are able to win the battle, they will only be able to choose a maximum of two heritage arts. After that, since there’s no more reward, they will not visit the pagoda too.”
“Oh? So what’s your suggestion?”
Zhang Yunting said confidently, “That’s easy. Other than this battle involving gambling, you should set up a different stage for a normal battle.
“The participants will only need to pay a small number of fees to enter this battle and choose the opponent they want.
“If the participants win, the God of War Pagoda will still be able to profit. If they lose, the amount will not be so high that they quit after a few tries.
“As such, many prodigies who lack actual combat experience will treat the pagoda as the best way to improve.
“This will allow the pagoda to have a sustainable operation in the long run, which is much better than the current method.”
Ye Qingcang smiled on the seventh floor of the God of War Pagoda and commented, “This guy is witty. “I thought only Tian’er would think of it. Seems like this young lad is smart too.”
In fact, Shen Tian had proposed something else other than the routine battle system. He had suggested a ‘streaming service’ in the pagoda. For example, when Zhang Yunting fought with a prodigy illusion in the God of War Pagoda, he could choose to broadcast it.
As long as others were willing to pay for the show, they could view the entire battle live from within the pagoda. Not only that, but they could also choose to tip the participants.
Would there be people tipping them?
Of course! Although Zhang Yunting was not as popular as Shen Tian, he had quite a number of female fans!
Fans were never rational when they met their idols!
Also, these prodigies from different sacred grounds would have many fans of their own too.
On a normal day, these fans would not have any chance to meet their idols. However, if they could watch them live in action, they would be supporting their idols with money willingly.
Also, Shen Tian suggested having the Image Recording Crystal. The entire battle could be recorded into the crystal.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would have the rights to publish and sell these crystals to whoever was interested. Watching these recordings would be very beneficial for other prodigies too.
Shen Tian believed that many cultivators would spend their money on such items.
It was much more convenient than traveling all the way to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground physically.
The Sacred Leader had mentioned this idea before, and Shen Tian had made some adjustments to it.
If things went well, the sales for the Image Recording Crystals would be insane!
Of course, Shen Tian and Ye Qingcang would not be keeping all the money for themselves.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground played an important role in buying, selling, publishing, after-sale service, and preventing any copyright infringement.
However, the Divine Firmament would not keep all the money for themselves either because only Ye Qingcang could do the recording inside the God of War Pagoda.
Thus, it would be best for both parties to share the revenue.
...
Ye Qingcang had already started refining some of the pagoda features and had installed some emblems in it.
He did not expect Zhang Longyuan’s son to be so smart too. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was really filled with prodigies.
However, Ye Qingcang preferred people who were not so clever.
Because... they could be cheated easily.
Ye Qingcang shook his head and looked at the third platform.
The participant was the First Senior Brother, Fang Chang. He was fully equipped when he entered the pagoda. He did not realize Shen Tian’s name was not on the tablet and did not have any innovative ideas in marketing the pagoda.
The moment he heard the price list, he was very excited. “Challenging a Four-Star Prodigy costs 300 God of War points, and Five Star Prodigy is 1,000? “The cost for six and seven are the same as five?
“So I can fight a Seven-Star Prodigy for the price of a Five-Star one?
“That is so worth it!”
Fang Chang held his Dragon Spear tightly and asked, “Pagoda Spirit, if I lose to the Seven-Star Prodigy, will I die?” The female voice replied, “Nope, the God of War Pagoda will protect you from such cases at all costs. There will be no accident.” Fang Chang smiled and took the money out of his ring
“Great, let me meet my opponent!
“I really want to see how strong this Seven-Star Prodigy is!”
Ye Qingcang smiled happily.
See, it is really easy to get money from people who are not so bright!
After exchanging the items he got from the experiential journey, Fang Chang’s God of War points increased quickly. As a cultivator with great providence, Fang Chang had encountered many fortuitous opportunities in the past. Soon, his God of War points reached 1000, and the challenge with Seven Star Prodigy began.
Soon, the illusion of the opponent appeared.
Fang Chang rushed forward with his Dragon Spear.
After three seconds, 1,000 God of War points were deducted from Fang Chang...
