“Awesome! Chi Xuan bet 300,000 points in one go!”
“He’s got a match! It’s Yutu Wan from the Eternal Dream Nation. A battle among the top hundred!”
“Mu Anyun also went to the arena and bet 200,000 points! These big shots don’t take points seriously. If they win, their ranks will rise!”
“The Cosmic Stairway Board is going to change again.”
The human virtual cosmic was filled with heated discussions.
Compared to watching the geniuses challenge the cosmic stairways, it was obviously more exciting to watch them fight each other.
The battles among the top too were especially exciting.
Rookie Chi Xuan who rose in the second stage was going up against the already famous Yutu Wan. As the match with the highest bet points, it attracted everyone’s attention.
Unfortunately, the participants could not watch.
Wang Ye had already entered the arena’s cosmic stairway. He had three free tickets, which meant he could match three times.
However, there were only two commands in the arena.
One was to match, and the other was to exchange for tickets.
Simple and direct.
“750,000.” Wang Ye looked at the number of people in the arena. It was close to 90% of the remaining participants.
However, it could not be taken as a measure as most of them were like him, still observing.
The three free tickets couldn’t be used casually. After using them, he would need to use his HP to exchange for more tickets.
1 HP for io tickets, no refunds.
Other than the number of people here, there’s not much information.” Wang Ye left the arena.
In comparison, there was more information on the Cosmic Stairway Board.
The rise and fall of the points were clear at a glance.
“Three free tickets is actually a lot. The top-ranked contestants will most likely spend 1 HP each on the Cosmic Stairway Tower and the challenge space, and then use the three free tickets as a last resort to consolidate their ranking or take a gamble. Only the participants who are ranked lower will exchange their HP for a ticket to perform a 13-hit combo.”
Wang Ye looked at the ones whose points were below 300,000.
The difference wasn’t big.
The person who ranked 300,000 had 96720 points.
The person who ranked 500,000 had 804.66 points.
The person who ranked 800,000 had 65317 points.
Unless they were ranked at the bottom, had absolute confidence in their strength, or only had one HP left, everyone would be observing and probing in the early stages of the third stage.
Even if they placed a bet, they would not place a huge bet.
“The first three cosmic days will be very chaotic and unpredictable. In the middle three cosmic days, the competition will enter the gambling stage. The last three cosmic days are the key to deciding whether or not we can advance.”
Wang Ye quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Go to the arena now?
That was a pure waste of time and tickets.
The situation was chaotic. If one placed a small bet, it would be a waste of tickets. If one placed a big bet, it would be easy to bump into a big shot who was playing with tickets.
The contestants were not stupid. With a stable channel to obtain points, they naturally wouldn’t risk their lives in the arena.
II
In the first three cosmic days, I’ll collect points first.” Wang Ye entered the 16th level of the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
Chaos!
After Chi Xuan defeated Yutu Wan, the Cosmic Stairway Board changed drastically.
Chi Xuan surpassed Qing Xuan and Qing Yu from the Xuanxu Eternal Nation and took the top spot.
Many unfamiliar faces appeared in the top ten and top hundred.
One by one, the “gamblers” rushed forward, breaking the original top-loo ranking into pieces.
“This is interesting. It’s only natural that the prodigies in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament should rise together!”
“This is too enjoyable to watch. Let’s have more battles in the top 100.1 want to see Chi Xuan fight against Wen Ron!”
“I want to see Xian Yuyan and Ji Mengni fight. It’ll definitely be nice if the two great fairies’ clothes are torn off!”
II
Let’s wait slowly. They won’t waste the three free tickets, but they’ll probably have to wait until the last few days before using their tickets. They’re all earning points now.”
Cosmic Stairway Tower, level 29.
Xian Yuyan, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, held a long sword in her hand. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall and reached her waist. Her temperament was elegant and otherworldly, like a fairy from heaven.
In the endless reincarnation cycle, she was still as unmoving as a mountain. Her willpower was like a pearl, untainted by the mortal world.
Her mind was clear, and her sword heart was bright. She raised the sword in her hand gently, shattering her obsession with a movement as if she were waving her sword in the clouds.
Chi!
The endless cycle of reincarnation shattered.
[Level 29, passed.]
[Points Obtained: 195000]
Xian Yuyan walked out of the Cosmic Stairway Tower. There was no change in expression on her beautiful face.
“There are still flaws in my sword heart.” Xian Yuyan didn’t pay attention to the ranking of the Cosmic Stairway Board. She sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, looking into her body and comprehending her gains.
“Arena? What a waste of time.”
Piao Bibai proudly stepped into the 30th level of the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
The unrestrained him was not only mature but also quite shrewd. He had long understood the rules of the first round and knew what to do.
The Points Contest would indeed cause great changes to the Cosmic Stairway Board, but those were all short-lived.
In the end, there were only two possibilities for him to take first place on the Cosmic Stairway Board.
Either he climbed to the top of the Cosmic Stairway Tower or completed the challenge space. Doing either would give him 50 million points, which was a sum that could not be obtained in the Points Contest.
“The hardest ones are the 34th to 36th levels.” Bai Piaopiao was very level-headed. “Levels 34 and 35 require 1 HP. The last level is level 36.1 need 2 HP to make a trial and error. I have a 50% chance. I should be able to pass before the end of the first round! The Elio Empire agreed that as long as I take first place on the Cosmic Stairway Board, they will pay for all the expenses of the Myriad Races Brothel from now on.”

Three cosmic days passed quickly.
The impact of the arena’s opening was huge.
Everyone was starting to work hard.
The contestants who were originally in the top 300,000 started to lose their cool after being pushed down.
The contestants who were ranked slightly higher were worried, afraid that they would be pulled down soon.
The contestants who were ranked lower gradually became bloodthirsty.
Cast the net.” Wang Ye was very patient.
As he recovered, he began to pay attention to the contestants who were ranked lower.
These were all potential prey!
But now was not the time to hunt because they were not at the end of their rope yet.
He didn’t have enough points either.
He had just passed the 16th to 18th levels of the Cosmic Stairway Tower and obtained 23923 points.
His current points were 158931- It was not safe enough.
If he was unlucky, he might fall into the elimination zone.
No matter how good his strategy was, there were still many variables in matching.
However, with enough matches, the luck component could be reduced to the minimum.
Taishi Star Network.
“Good Lord, Wang Ye is making me so anxious!”
“Isn’t that so? His rank is falling all the way down on the board, and the people behind are catching up!”
“He still wants to play it safe and rely on the Cosmic Stairway Tower’s points, but he is almost at his limit. Even if he can pass the third stage, there’s still the fourth stage where the competition is even more intense. What should he do?”
“Don’t worry about Wang Ye. He knows better than you do. You’re talking as if he can definitely get points in the arena. Look at how many experts have been pulled down. This isn’t a match of strength, it’s a match of points. It depends on luck!”
“But have you ever thought that on the last cosmic day, the contestants in the elimination zone will definitely stake everything and even bet all their points? When the time comes, the contestants who will be eliminated will have zero points. Their points will all be obtained by the ones who advance. The threshold for the top 300,000 will be very high!”
“What’s the point of thinking so much? He’ll cross that bridge when he gets to it. Wang Ye naturally has a way to deal with it. Can’t you see that he still has three free tickets just in case? Come, come, come, watch the challenge space. Wang Ye is going to challenge an Undying Lifeform!”
Challenge Space No. 11.
Wang Ye was up against a Dark race Undying Lifeform. The other party had two heads and four arms, as well as the strongest physical body.
Even if a Dark race expert at the first degree of the Undying level didn’t have any supreme treasures on him, he himself was the strongest supreme treasure. Surging dark power fused with origin energy was unleashed. His body’s defense was shocking, and the stage 4 dark crystal realm was invincible.
Powerful high-dimensional willpower and life-level pressure, containing the enhancement of high-dimensional origin power and an indestructible body.
They were both inferior Undying Lifeforms, but the first-degree Undying-level Dark-race expert was stronger than Xin Di in terms of combat prowess.
The current Wang Ye had also made great progress.
The top-rank internal world protected him, resisting the pressure of high-dimensional willpower.
By controlling his time treasures and relying on the Hellfire Devil Blade’s special effect, he slowly devoured the opponent’s origin power.
There were many ways to kill an Undying Lifeform, including destroying the other party’s soul, obliterating his willpower, and others.
Wang Ye was using the simplest method of consuming the other party’s body’s origin power.
With the special effect of the Hellfire Devil Blade, he could obliterate some of it with each slash.
Although the white origin of thunder and blue origin of lightning were also in the category of origin power, in terms of energy, they were still far inferior to the Dark race’s Undying level expert.
II
Boom!” A tug-of-war ended with Wang Ye’s violent attacks.
[Challenge passed.]
[Points Obtained: 33200]
Not bad.
“My top-rank internal world, white origin of thunder, blue origin of lightning, star core energy, and others will take about 3 cosmic days to completely recover.” Wang Ye was very experienced.
He continued to mark and observe his prey while reviewing the battle.
Although the Dark race Undying Lifeform was indeed stronger than Xin Di, he was much weaker in terms of combat.
Whether it was offense or defense, there were traces to follow.
For example, when he used the time treasure, the Dark-race Undying-level expert could only deal with it by force though he could actually use his defense to consume his energy.
There was also the fact that in a real battle, Undying Lifeforms would not fight to the death. For example, Xin Di had long since escaped.
“Killing the Sky race is a little difficult.” Wang Ye thought to himself, “My Time Control is better, but their spatial skills are better than mine. If we really fight, it’s at most a 50 – 50 chance. I might need to use 1 HP. In the next match, I’ll fight against the second-degree Undying-level Dark-race expert in challenge space N0.12.”
After this battle, Wang Ye was quite confident.
Although those at the second degree of the Undying level were stronger in all aspects, especially their origin energy which was twice as strong as the first degree, he still had the advantage of time and space. Plus, he was familiar with the Dark race Undying-level experts’ attack methods.
He could definitely fight the next battle with a 70% chance of not consuming 1 HP.
Three cosmic days later.
[Challenge passed.]
[Points Obtained: 61100]
Wang Ye left challenge space N0.12.
[Current total points: 253231!]
Compared to the end of the second stage, it had nearly doubled.
He was like a gambler who doubled the chips in his hand.
More confidence!
“Now, we can start hunting.” Wang Ye opened the prey leaderboard..
