At this moment, Zhang Junbao was like a patient fishing expert. He had already cast enough bait, and all he needed to do was wait quietly for his prey to take the bait.

Sure enough, his information about the Duel Space quickly attracted the attention of many powerful individuals. Although there are many people who gamble in the Duel Space, it is rare to see someone daring to bet such a large sum at once.

Especially Planetary Level battles.

One billion Black Dragon Coin is no small sum, even for Planetary Level powerhouse. Unless one comes from a powerful family or has good ways to make money, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary Planetary Level to possess one billion Black Dragon Coin.

Although Zhang Junbao was unsure of his own strength level among those of the same rank, according to Babata, he was definitely among the top tier.

"Is this guy Madman? A Planetary Level being dares to wager 1 billion Black Dragon Coin? Could he be a scion of some powerful family?"

" Planetary Level Seven, a newcomer, opening his personal Challenge Space for the first time, and surprisingly allowing a powerhouse of the highest Stellar Level One to challenge him."

"Where did this reckless fool come from? So fearless! Being invincible among those of the same level and rank already makes one a top genius, yet he dares to try and fight someone of a higher rank? Does he really think that Star Level expert is so easy to deal with?"

"Maybe he's some good-for-nothing raised by some powerful family. In the family competition, even the Star Level experts went easy on him, which made him so confident that he thinks he can challenge opponents of higher levels."

This is a great opportunity, but unfortunately I don't have enough money. Damn it, why am I even looking for such a good opportunity elsewhere?

"Brothers, I'm going to crush this noob. But I don't have enough 1 billion Black Dragon Coin. How about we all crowdfund one for me? I'll pay you back after I defeat him. Don't worry, I'll absolutely keep my promise."

"Come on, you can't even come up with ten billion Black Dragon Coin. How can you expect to be a master? What will you pay back if you lose?"

"Investing involves risk; if you lose, it's a failed investment!"

The word "Get out!" is universally applicable!

"Hmph, all of you get out of my way! You're just some piece of trash who popped up out of nowhere, yet you dare to try and cause a scene here."

This is stealing my business!

A young man with green hair appeared in the hall, looking at Zhang Junbao with a gloomy expression.

He is a renowned combat master in this region, and every time he opens Challenge Space, millions of viewers watch his battles.

His fighting style is versatile. Sometimes, when he encounters a weaker opponent, he will show off his skills on the spot and use his opponent as a teaching template for the audience, which has attracted many loyal fans.

But today, he suddenly noticed that far fewer people were watching his fight. When he went outside to check, he found that everyone was drawn to Zhang Junbao's information.

Many people are waiting to see who will take on this huge gamble, so naturally they have no interest in watching his fight.

"This guy is really willing to go all out, betting 1 billion Black Dragon Coin, and Planetary Level Seven. I'm Planetary Level Nine, so let me teach you a lesson. If I defeat him, my popularity will probably rise to another level."

At that time, let alone 1 billion Black Dragon Coin, even 10 billion would be no problem!

"Master, thousands of people have already submitted applications. Which one should we choose?"

What is the highest rating among the Planetary Level?

"The highest Planetary Level rating belongs to someone named Yue Lun, Planetary Level Nine, which is already a nine -Planetary Level rating. He comes from the Tiger Fang Galaxy of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

Record: 3987 wins, 252 losses.

He's a professional combat streamer, and he even left you a message.

He said he would teach you how to fight.

"Oh? Professional combat streamer? There really is such a profession."

That's true. Not everyone wants to be Universe Mercenary who risks their life at any moment. Even the strong need to make a living. Combat streamers, who can fight and earn money at the same time, have naturally become a popular profession.

You want to teach me how to fight?

He's the one!

Although Zhang Junbao didn't know him, the other party specifically asked him to teach him how to fight, so he decided to give it a try.

The application was approved instantly, and a fit and capable young man with green hair appeared in front of Zhang Junbao. Judging from his outstanding appearance and demeanor, he certainly had the qualities of a combat streamer.

"My application was approved? As expected, adding a comment to the application makes most people choose mine. Hehe, with a little trickery, I can shake off those idiots waiting outside."

" Daoist Sanfeng? What a strange name. You're quite arrogant, Planetary Level Seven, yet you dare to challenge me, Planetary Level Nine." Yue Lun revealed a confident smile, his standard battle pose that greatly enhanced his charm.

At the same time, he also left a message in his Challenge Space, stating that he would defeat Zhang Junbao and win this huge bet of 1 billion Black Dragon Coin.

Instantly, the number of people in Zhang Junbao's Duel Space surged, many of whom were Yue Lun's original supporters.

Although this is Zhang Junbao's exclusive Duel Space, he can still get the spectator commission if Yue Lun wins.

Now he's going to use his immense popularity to turn this place into his own home turf.

"You must come from a powerful family, haven't you realized the cruelty of the universe yet? Let me teach you a lesson: this is how a battle should be fought!"

The standard dialogue format instantly brought the audience watching the battle to a climax.

Many people who enjoy watching Yue Lun fight are not necessarily there to learn his fighting techniques; quite a few are simply there to watch him dominate weaker opponents.

Clearly, Zhang Junbao's information suggests that this is yet another undisputed battle of stomping weaker opponents, or perhaps a battle of coaching.

"This guy talks a lot of nonsense. But it's not bad, he's brought quite a few spectators to my Duel Space."

The battle was about to begin. Zhang Junbao had chosen a Daoist robe-style combat uniform, while Yue Lun's combat uniform was much more colorful. In comparison, Zhang Junbao's Daoist robe looked like it came from a dirt corner.

However, none of these are the main points; battle is about to break out.

Yue Lun launched the first attack. Although he was arrogant, he was extremely serious about the battle.

Yue Lun moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing in front of Zhang Junbao. His slender bayonet fell with a strange trajectory.

His attack speed varies greatly, and if you're not careful, you can be misled by his attack trajectory.

However, Zhang Junbao's sword was steadily parried, and he felt the power transmitted from the blade. Zhang Junbao also gained a general understanding of Yue Lun's strength.

"He has actually grasped a trace of the wind attribute Law, but unfortunately his understanding is too shallow. He still has a long way to go before he can truly step into the threshold of the Law of Wind."

But for martial artists who are also at the Planetary Level, they certainly have reason to be proud.

At that moment, Yue Lun's blade spun. The instant Zhang Junbao blocked his attack, he had already prepared to change his strategy. The blade rose again, ready to launch a sneak attack while Zhang Junbao was momentarily stunned by the sudden change in strength.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Zhang Junbao's control over his physical strength; misusing force was simply impossible for him.

The sight of Zhang Junbao's sword hilt pointing upwards alerted Yue Lun to the danger.

He decisively abandoned the attack and retreated rapidly.

"This guy is no ordinary person!"

After a brief exchange, Yue Lun dared not be careless anymore. He discovered a bloody gash on his right hand, even though he had been very decisive in his retreat.

"What? Weren't you going to teach me how to fight?"

"You're not going to teach me how to retreat, are you?"

Zhang Junbao smiled. No wonder Babata said that mastering the Planetary Level of the domain would make one invincible at the Planetary Level.

Clearly, the combat streamer in front of me is indeed very skilled, fully utilizing his fighting style and unique attributes to follow the assassin-style combat approach.

They are extremely fast and don't linger in combat.

However, the absolute difference in their understanding of strength made him appear very powerless when facing Zhang Junbao.

"Hmph, don't be too arrogant. That was just a test."

Let me tell you, most of the people who frequently fight here are capable of fighting opponents far stronger than themselves. When you return to the Slaughter Hall, you can ask around; even among Star Level powerhouses, I've defeated quite a few.

Don't think you can get away with hurting me; the real battle is just beginning!

As he spoke, Yue Lun once again stepped into the air, and this time, he actually created ten sword shadows, each one incredibly realistic.

" Ten Shadows Burial!"

"Puff..."

Zhang Junbao's figure was cleaved in two by a single stroke.

"Not good!"

Before Yue Lun could even feel happy, he realized that the blade hadn't struck anything at all. He was immediately alarmed and was about to flee when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a head with green hair floated up into the air.

"Seriously, let's just fight, why all the nonsense?"

If you really want to explain the battle, you should do so after you've defeated me.

It seems that years of professional instruction have instilled bad habits in him. Not only does he enjoy explaining during battles, but he also resorts to such forced and awkward moves in order to make his techniques look more flashy.

He clearly only had the strength to unleash seven true attacks, but for the sake of appearances, he insisted on adding three more. Not only did he waste his energy, but he also left himself vulnerable.

When Yue Lun unleashed his signature move, " Ten Shadows Burial," many viewers familiar with him thought the battle was over.

In fact, the battle ended the moment he unleashed his ultimate technique.

Unfortunately, Yue Lun lost.

The battle was so brief that many spectators didn't even have time to react.

"How is this possible? What just happened? Didn't my dear little fish use a killing move? Why did he die on his own?" Many viewers wondered.

"Didn't you see that just now? That Daoist Sanfeng was much faster Yue Lun. The reason Yue Lun was able to use the Ten Shadows Burial was because he was fast enough, and with his special ability, he could turn all the phantom attacks into physical objects."

However, when the Daoist Sanfeng moved, there wasn't even an afterimage. There are only two possibilities for this: either his speed was too slow to create an afterimage, or his speed was too fast for our eyes to detect.

When Yue Lun unleashed the Ten Shadows Burial technique, Yue Lun saw through his killing move and killed him before he could react.

This Daoist Sanfeng's strength is comparable to Star Level expert!

Among the audience, there were some experts who understood the process of the battle and provided explanations to the others.

Of course, his explanations are also charged.

In the Virtual Universe Network, some people make money through gambling, some through live-streaming tutorials, and naturally, some through explaining and analyzing battles.

A wide variety of business models are vividly displayed here. The universe is not just a universe of battles, but also a universe inhabited by countless living beings. Even on Earth, thriving businesses can develop, let alone in the magnificent universe.

" Babata, how many people were watching the battle just now?"

"Because the battle ended so quickly, many people didn't even have time to apply to spectate before it was over. However, there were still over 300,000 spectators in the battle, most of whom came with Yue Lun."

Zhang Junbao was both amused and exasperated; the battle had ended so quickly that the viewers didn't even have time to get into the action.

Even so, there were still over 300,000 viewers, which shows that the popularity of well-known battle streamers is no joke.

"The number of people is not small, but it's not too many. After all, it's a gathering of powerful figures from the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire. A mere 300,000 people is less than the number of people watching on Earth."

To attract more attention, you need to make the stage bigger.

" Babata, for the next battle, the stakes will be raised to five billion. Our opponent just now was already among the top-tier Planetary Level fighters; next time, let's choose a Stellar Level One opponent."

"Yes, Master, the application has been submitted. Because of the recent battle, more Star Level powerhouses have come to pay attention to this area."
