The wager, Venerable Nine Swords' doubts and attention

In room 001 of Building 0825, which is over a thousand square meters, Li Jing is resting quietly, waiting for the main competition to begin.

He had no interest in the socializing and parties that other geniuses were keen on.

To be honest, everyone in this year's Genius Battle, except for Luo Feng...

By the time he becomes the Universe Master or even the Universe Strongest, probably not even one person will have broken through to the World Lord Level.

There's no need to waste time on this kind of ineffective socializing.

The central square Restaurant No. 1, which is off-limits to participating geniuses and is only open to those leading Immortal teams.

The Thirteen Divine Generals transformed into streaks of Flowing Light and appeared directly at the restaurant entrance. Amidst the respectful greetings of the staff, they stepped inside.

There were already hundreds of figures inside the restaurant, each radiating a powerful aura, capable of extinguishing stars, freezing space, or solidifying souls.

These are all Immortal leaders from other Universe Country, and they are also powerful among the Immortal God.

"Thirteen."

"Thirteen's here, come and sit down."

Among the many Immortal, some knew the Thirteen Divine Generals quickly invited them over.

"Thirteen, your Ganwu Universe Country should achieve very good results this time; the quality of your geniuses is quite high."

"That Demon Demon Li Jing and Savage Rong Jun have the strength to compete for the top ten. If that little guy named Luo Feng can have a burst of energy, he also has a chance to break into the top one thousand. This should be the highest quality team you've ever led."

After the Thirteen Divine Generals sat down, some people said with envy.

The Thirteen Divine Generals shook their heads. "We were just lucky this time. It will be difficult to get such high quality next time."

As he spoke, he glanced at the noisiest part of the restaurant. "What are they doing over there?"

"Oh, someone's set up a betting pool, betting on the outcome of this Genius Battle."

The Thirteen Divine Generals' eyes lit up upon receiving the answer, "The money-giver has arrived?"

The Thirteen Divine Generals got up and squeezed towards the betting area, returning a moment later with beaming faces.

"Thirteen, how much did you bet? Why are you smiling so broadly?" A team leader who knew him Immortal couldn't help but ask.

"I'm betting 10,000 Hunyuan Unit on His Highness Li Jing winning first place in this Genius Battle across the entire universe."

The Thirteen Divine Generals laughed even more smugly. They hadn't expected that Li Jing, whom they and the King had already considered a sure winner, would have such high odds—fifty to one.

If the odds weren't so low, with a maximum bet of only Hunyuan Unit per person, he would have definitely bet his entire fortune.

However, earning 500,000 Hunyuan Unit is not bad. It's equivalent to a long period of wealth accumulation, and since the money is practically free, it's even better!

"Li Jing? His strength is even greater than Bolan, who is recognized as the number one?"

"Li Jing's Soul Attack is outstanding, but it is said that Bolan has also cultivated Soul Defense Secret Technique. As long as he can withstand Li Jing's first attack, with Bolan's understanding of the Space Origin Law, which surpasses that of most World Lord, taking down Li Jing will be a very easy matter."

"Thirteen, you're probably going to lose money this time!"

"The odds of betting on anyone other than Bolan to get first place are high, but the chances are slim."

"They're running a betting operation there; they're not doing charity."

"But you address Li Jing as Your Highness, could it be..."

Immortal, who was familiar with Thirteen, felt that Thirteen was likely to lose 10,000 Hunyuan Unit in this round, and was also shocked and puzzled by Thirteen Divine Generals addressing Li Jing.

"Li Jing is the recently accepted personal disciple of the Great King. As one of the divine generals under the King's command, I naturally have to address him as Your Highness," the Thirteen Divine Generals explained.

The Immortal leading the group were not only shocked by the news that the Ganwu Country Lord had taken on another disciple after countless eons, but also revealed subtle smiles on their faces, realizing that they had figured out the Thirteen Divine Generals' intention in betting on Li Jing.

My boss has just taken on a new protégé, so I have to show my support.

Ten thousand Hunyuan Unit are not a lot for the Thirteen Divine Generals. Taking them out to make a sound and gaining the favor and special treatment of Li Jing, the personal disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, is undoubtedly a very worthwhile thing.

I knew Thirteen was cunning and resourceful, but I never expected him to be able to pull off something like this in a place like this. It's truly eye-opening!

As for whether the Thirteen Divine Generals betting on Li Jing specifically to make money, they immediately ruled out that possibility.

There was no other reason than that Bolan's performance was simply too extraordinary. His talent in comprehending the Space Origin Law amazed even these Immortal.

Although reluctant to admit it, Bolan did indeed have a sliver of hope of becoming Space Venerable.

Although Li Jing is a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, there are quite a few disciples among the Human Race's Universe Venerable level powerhouses.

Very few of them are able to break through to the Venerable Level; most stop at the Immortal.

They didn't think Li Jing currently possessed the strength to rival Bolan.

He saw that the group of Immortal around him seemed to understand but were not saying anything.

The Thirteen Divine Generals delighted, eagerly awaiting the final result of the Genius Battle to give them a resounding slap in the face.

While Bolan's Space Origin Law talent is indeed powerful, what he has currently revealed is only a few hundred Phantom Body.

Prince Li Jing had already reached this level before becoming the King's disciple, and even he himself did not know the extent to which he could achieve it now.

Perhaps only His Majesty the King, who has been teaching Prince Li Jing, knows this.

In short, it is by no means inferior to Bolan.

In terms of his understanding of the Space Origin Law, which is Bolan's greatest strength, Prince Li Jing is in no way inferior. Coupled with his other advantages, it would be no exaggeration to say that he completely overwhelms Bolan.

These 500,000 Hunyuan Unit are practically given away for free!

Fortunately, His Majesty ordered a news blackout after accepting Prince Li Jing as his disciple.

Aside from the students of the Ganwu Secret Region and the high-ranking officials within the Universe Country, no one yet knows that His Highness Li Jing's Law Comprehension is no less than that of his Soul Will.

Otherwise, where would he find such a great opportunity to make money?

"What are you all talking about? It's so lively."

Just as the Immortal in the restaurant were having a lively discussion, a figure in a green robe appeared, instantly silencing the restaurant.

The figure in the green robe was handsome, with purple scales covering his head. He stood there as if he didn't exist, as if he were in a different time and space from everyone else.

"Greetings, Venerable Nine Swords!"

All the Immortal, including the Thirteen Divine Generals, bowed in salute.

Venerable Nine Swords, the champion of the Genius Battle hundreds of thousands of years ago, is also a newly promoted Venerable of the Human Race, but he lacks manpower under his command.

For nearly ten thousand epochs, he presided over the Genius Battle of the Virtual Universe Company, using it to replenish and recruit subordinates.

In fact, he had been there for a while and had been observing the behavior of these Immortal leaders.

Seeing that the Thirteen Divine Generals of the Ganwu Universe Country had bet on Li Jing to win first place, and recalling that Li Jing's teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord, had previously made a similar bet with other Universe Venerable, with the stakes being a full fifteen Treasure Points.

This piqued his curiosity; did Li Jing possess some advantage that he hadn't yet noticed?

How could the Ganwu Country Lord and the Thirteenth Prince both believe that Li Jing could surpass Bolan and take first place?

But Bolan's talent is already no less than his back then. If he can encounter some opportunities like him later, he may also become a Venerable.

Although Li Jing is a disciple of the Venerable Ganwu, what exactly is it that allows him to surpass Bolan?

Can one rely solely on the will of World Lord Level and the Ten Thousand Heart Soul Control Secret Manual?

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. The answer will naturally come to light soon enough!
