As a result of the official traffic boost, the number of viewers who flooded in suddenly reached tens of millions!

Don't underestimate the number of people in the tens of millions. You should know that this is a gathering of gamblers from the entire Gan Wu Universe —no, I mean, onlookers who love to fight!

The human population of a single star system far exceeds one trillion, Ganwu Universe Country has more than 13,000 star systems, so even if only a small fraction of the people appear here, it is still an astronomical number!

After all, it's Gambling Battle Platform that covers an entire Universe Country. Even if Yang Yu and his team only gained slightly more popularity in this battle than in the previous one, it would still be reflected in an exceptionally large number of participants.

Therefore, it's normal for so many Ganwu Dollar to have accumulated in the prize pool.

However, because Yang Yu bet a lot on himself, his odds dropped slightly to 1:106, while his opponent's odds rose slightly to 1:1.04.

As the plate was sealed, the man named Night Blade's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and at the same time, 25 thin, silvery-white needles gleaming with a chilling light suddenly appeared around him.

"Psychic Amplitude of 25?" Yang Yu guessed upon seeing this. "For Star Level being, such a strong level of consciousness is quite impressive; no wonder their win rate is so high."

"It's just a pity that you ran into me!" Yang Yu charged straight at his opponent's 25 needle-like Spiritual Weapon.

This courageous scene also ignited the enthusiasm of the spectators at the scene.

"Wow, that's impressive! Even if this Planetary Level 4 Martial Artist named Lightning loses, I'll still admire him!" A beautiful girl with fluffy rabbit ears said to her best friend beside her.

"Hehe, he's really tough, and handsome too! That's why I inexplicably bet two thousand Ganwu Dollar on him before the betting closed. If he wins, I'll call him the Flash!" the pretty girl with pointed, elf-like ears said playfully.

"Ugh, how awful!" the cute bunny-eared girl snorted. "I should have bet on him too. Even if I lost, I'd still think it was worth it."

"He might not lose! Look, Little Rabbit!" The beautiful girl, who looked like an elf, stared intently at the betting platform.

While the two were talking, Yang Yu, unleashing extreme speed, forcibly charged forward, dodging Night Blade's Spiritual Weapon.

He swung the Thunder Blade in his hand with lightning speed, scattering all the incoming silver needles!

This domineering scene instantly silenced the previously noisy spectator area!

"Could it be?" An unbelievable thought popped into the minds of all the spectators.

"Damn it!" Night Blade felt as if the 25 needles he was controlling with all his might had been caught in a vortex when they struck Yang Yu's Thunder Blade. They were completely powerless as the Mental Force on the needles was shattered, and they were easily knocked aside.

"He's clearly only Planetary Level 4! How is that possible!" Night Blade's previously relaxed and indifferent eyes were now filled with horror.

However, without their Spiritual Weapon Spirit Reader facing Martial Artist at close range is predictable.

Since the two were charging at each other, Yang Yu easily knocked away his Spiritual Weapon and arrived beside him. With a light upward Thunder Blade Yu cleaved Night Blade in two!

"Lightning wins!"

A cold, electronic voice announced the victor of the battle.

"So dashing!" exclaimed the bunny-eared beauty.

"Awesome!" the elven woman exclaimed excitedly.

The man named Night Blade had already withdrawn from the Gambling Battle Space. This battle not only severely damaged his wallet but also plunged him into deep self-doubt.

"Planetary Level 4 is that strong? Am I that weak?" Night Blade's brows were furrowed, his expression complex.

Ignoring his opponent who was beaten into a slump, Yang Yu was very happy at this moment.

Because after this battle, his bank account suddenly had an extra 3.21 billion Ganwu Dollar!

"Wow! That's outrageous!" Yang Yu was also shocked by such exorbitant profits.

This means that Yang Yu won this battle and still had an Earth to spare!

"Calm down!" Yang Yu exhaled softly. "No wonder so many people are addicted to gambling; the returns are indeed outrageous."

"Hahaha, Yang Yu did a great job!" Babata's face was flushed with excitement. "A whole 3.21 billion Ganwu Dollar! That's enough to buy a top-of-the-line unclaimed Life Planet!"

Those who bet on Yang Yu to win also reaped huge returns and were all extremely happy.

"Haha, finally Yang Yu, we see you lose your composure for once." Although Babata was in a state of ecstasy, the enormous profits had still brought out the wicked side of his personality. "I thought you would always be so calm and relaxed."

"It's a bit overwhelming to earn so much money for the first time, but I won't do it again," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, that's normal. That's the charm of gambling. Some people can become rich overnight and soar to great heights; others can lose all their wealth and never recover," Babata remarked.

"With your talent and combat power, Yang Yu, this is just the beginning. In the future, you can earn enough money just by Gambling Arena. You should know that any powerful family in the universe owns thousands or tens of thousands of Life Planet. You are only just getting started."

"You only won a Life Planet in this battle. It's just that we've been poor for too long, which is why we're so surprised. In the eyes of the rich, this amount of money isn't even enough for a casual gamble."

"I know Babata, you don't need to worry about me getting addicted. I can tell what's important," Yang Yu said with a smile. "This place is just a way to make money in the short term; only your own strength is what matters."

However, it cannot be denied that this Gambling Arena is indeed a good place; the huge weight that had been pressing on Yang Yu's heart has finally been lifted.

"Let's continue choosing our opponents. I want to see how much money we can win before we reach Qiu Long Planet!" Yang Yu's eyes gleamed. With his current level and actual Combat Power, he was sure to be pleasantly surprised.

"Good! Searching for opponents." Babata was also eagerly anticipating how much money they could win this time.

"Found it! This time you've been matched with a 6th-tier Star Level- level Martial Artist! The strongest opponent you can challenge right now," Babata said happily.

This is also the rule of the Gambling Battle Platform: as long as you can keep winning, you can keep challenging your opponents until you lose.

On the massive gambling arena, Yang Yu and his opponent exchanged glances after selecting their weapons.

Both sides also started live betting on this match.

"Planetary Level 4 Martial Artist with a 102-game winning streak, it seems your actual Combat Power is quite formidable," exclaimed the Star Level 6 Martial Artist codenamed Hassos.

It's clear that he's more polite than the previous people; he didn't start by mocking them.

"You're quite good too. You've fought 100 matches and have a 95% win rate. Your strength must be quite impressive." Hearing the other person's positive tone, Yang Yu also said appreciatively.

During the five-minute betting period, the two players usually exchange a few words.

Of course, the atmosphere during conversations is usually not very pleasant.

Generally, they just exchange trash talk and mock each other.

It was rare to encounter an opponent who was both skilled and polite, which made Yang Yu even happier than before.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then waited quietly for the spectators to place their bets.

Perhaps it was Yang Yu's astonishing win rate and ability to fight opponents of higher levels that attracted the attention of the authorities, resulting in greater exposure this time.

Yang Yu glanced at the even larger crowd of spectators than in the previous betting battle, and at the rapidly increasing amount of Ganwu Dollar in the prize pool, and knew that the rewards for winning this round would be even more terrifying.

"Yang Yu, the prize pool has already reached over 60 billion Ganwu Dollar in just a short while!" Babata waved his little hand excitedly. "How much are we betting this time? We have over 3 billion Ganwu Dollar in our account!"

"Our odds are currently 1:120, so let's bet 1 billion Ganwu Dollar. Betting too much will affect our odds, and there's no need to go all in," Yang Yu said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, whatever you say. Anyway, this Gambling Arena is right here. We can come here to make money whenever we have time. It's good to take it slow and steady." Although Babata really wanted to bet all 3 billion Ganwu Dollar, he also knew that if he emptied the prize pool almost every time, it would be very disadvantageous for their upcoming challenges.

Although the Gambling Arena wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, big data analysis also means that Yang Yu and his team won't make money easily. It's better to slowly accumulate wealth for sustainable development.

"Wow! Looks like you've brought in a lot of traffic. This is the highest prize pool I've ever seen. If I win, I can make a fortune. It's a pity my odds are too low. Even if I bet everything, I won't make much." Hassos said with a bit of regret. In the end, he only symbolically bet a few tens of thousands of Ganwu Dollar. He didn't care too much about winning or losing that amount of money.

Almost all the money he wins in the Gambling Arena comes from his share of the prize pool, that is, his 1% share. As long as there are enough people betting, he can make enough money.

However, the audience for a typical Star Level betting event is not usually that large, since there are just too many betting events starting at the same time. Only betting events that are featured in officially recommended locations and have high entertainment value will attract a large number of viewers.

Just like in this battle, his winning percentage was extremely high, and Yang Yu even had a terrifying 102-game winning streak.

Hassos, who was familiar with the Gambling Arena mechanics, knew that this meant Yang Yu had already won two Star Level gambling battles, which was why it brought such high exposure.

"I advise you to bet less. After all, the probability of you losing is too high. It's not worth going bankrupt over a single battle," Yang Yu advised casually.

"Haha, you're very confident. Don't worry, I've always been able to control my greed," Hassos said with a laugh.

Five minutes passed quickly.

The prize pool eventually accumulated to a little over 180 billion!

Yang Yu's final odds were 1:119.

Hassos' odds are 1:1.03.

At that moment, two familiar figures appeared on the viewing platform outside. They were the rabbit-eared beauty and the elf girl who had randomly watched Yang Yu's betting match in the previous game.

"Yay!" the elf girl exclaimed happily. "Little Rabbit, we actually got matched against him again! How much are you going to bet this time?"

"I'm prepared to bet all my savings!" the rabbit-eared beauty said bitterly. "With odds of 119, if he wins again this time, I'll be financially independent!"

"Wow, you're so ruthless! I only bet 80% of all my savings," the elven girl said with a hint of regret.

"Hehe, whether we can live a life of plenty from now on depends on this kid," the rabbit-eared beauty said nervously.

Yang Yu's performance in the last match was truly amazing to them, and there were just too many betting battles starting every moment. Also, due to the unique mechanism of the Gambling Battle Platform, they could only randomly select matches to watch based on the information recommended on the Gambling Battle Platform, and could not follow Yang Yu or watch every single one of his betting battles.

This is a rule set by the Gambling Battle Platform to prevent collusion between bettors and spectators to cheat, so whether you can see a bettor you've seen before really depends on luck.

Clearly, the two elf girls were quite lucky; a chance to make a fortune was presented to them.

Of the tens of millions of viewers who watched the bet between Yang Yu and Hassos, only the elf girl and the rabbit-eared beauty had ever seen Yang Yu fight before.

So they were really lucky; they randomly selected a match and saw Yang Yu again.

This is also a chance for them to turn their lives around!

Although their family backgrounds are not bad, the resources available to them are actually quite limited due to the large number of family members. Whether they can have a good future depends entirely on themselves.

This time, the bunny-eared beauty invested all of her savings, 2 million Ganwu Dollar!

Although the elven girl only invested 80%, she still had 2.3 million Ganwu Dollar. Her family was more powerful than the rabbit-eared beauty's family, so even though she was not Core Member, she had quite a bit of private money.

If they win this bet, they'll get over 200 million Ganwu Dollar!

This is enough for them to purchase more cultivation resources, allowing them to increase their strength at an even faster pace.

As the two women watched with immense tension and anticipation, the battle began!

This battle takes place in the Endless Sea.

High above, in the Void, were countless spectators.

The instant the betting period ended, the invisible barrier between Yang Yu and Hatos vanished.

Battle is about to break out!

Boom!

Suddenly, Hassos, Star Level 6 being, unleashed all his Origin Force, and a yellowish-brown domain appeared around him!

A master of the field!

"Oh no, Little Rabbit, he already has a domain at the Star Level! Are we going to lose?" the elf girl said nervously, grabbing her best friend beside her.

If she really loses, she'll be eating dirt (meaning she'll be destitute) from now on.

"No, I believe him!" The bunny-eared beauty was actually more nervous; she had bet everything.

Losing would be more than just eating dirt.

However, Yang Yu didn't let them worry for long. Seeing that Hassos was indeed no ordinary Star Level powerhouse, he smiled slightly, "Earth Domain Second Level? Finally, a worthy opponent."

Immediately, Yang Yu gripped the Thunder Blade and unleashed the Thunder Body Technique, instantly bursting forth with a speed even faster than Hassos!

Moreover, Yang Yu still hasn't revealed his domain!

"This!??"

"I knew I was right to believe him!" The rabbit-eared beauty jumped up excitedly.

If you can outspeed your opponent, you won't be too bad in actual combat.

Really.

Yang Yu, almost transforming into a bolt of lightning, charged head-on towards Hassos.

Hassos wielded a broad, thick War Blade with an earthy yellow sheen, which could be used for both offense and defense, making it very suitable for his Earth Domain.

Swish!

Yang Yu, transformed into a phantom, crashed into Hassos's domain, his speed decreasing by an almost imperceptible amount.

This is also why Yang Yu did not activate his Thunder Domain to offset or even suppress the opponent's domain; his speed would inevitably decrease slightly.

However, despite this, Yang Yu was still far, far faster than his opponent.

Hassos was also very experienced in combat. When he saw that Yang Yu was so much faster than him, he immediately changed his combat strategy.

He originally wanted to finish the battle quickly and kill Yang Yu in one blow, but now he only wants to defend and counterattack.

Almost the instant Yang Yu charged into the Earth Domain, Hassos activated Defense Secret Technique. With the domain's enhancement, his War Blade traced a fleeting trajectory and landed in front of Yang Yu's Thunder Blade!

"Bang!"

The dull thud of clashing War Blade rang out.

"What amazing Defensive Blade Technique!" Yang Yu exclaimed as he retreated hastily after his attack failed.

This was the first person in the Gambling Arena to be able to withstand a casual blow from Yang Yu.
