The Joint Training Competition was a cosmic-level event. Every incident in the live broadcast could instantly become news, which was why so many students wanted to participate. It was an excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves and an extremely valuable credential for the future.
And just after Master Lan made his assessment, the news that Wind Walker Academy had a hidden Dragon-class trump card instantly spread across the entire internet. The whole market began to fluctuate violently!
One prediction market after another opened around Wind Walker Academy. There had been very few markets concerning Wind Walker Academy before, because everyone had been bearish on them. Aside from a small number of die-hard fans, most people had bought tickets betting on their decline. The bookmakers were no fools, so they naturally kept the stakes low, while the odds for betting on Wind Walker Academy's decline were also extremely low. They used odds of several dozen times over to lure those who still favored Wind Walker Academy into buying winning tickets.
Fortunately, there were simply too many people who had bet on Wind Walker Academy falling out of the top ten, so there was more than enough money to compensate those who had bought winning tickets. The bookmakers could even make a considerable profit from it. Many of those running the markets had never expected this supposedly sure-loss market to develop such a twist. Without hesitation, they immediately opened hundreds of new prediction markets concerning Wind Walker Academy.
The odds naturally changed as well. Wind Walker Academy now had a top-tier trump card, but because it had few veteran players, its overall quality was still average. Whether it could hold on to a top-ten position was truly difficult to say, and markets like this were often the most exciting.
