Chapter 991 (1/2)

He exited the room and took a deep breath to repress his emotions before closing the door. Only then did he rise into the air and depart from the Scorching Basin.

A pair of tear-filled eyes looked on at his departing figure through the window, and the Demonic Greenbird was standing on her shoulder with its body slightly curled up into a ball.

Silver light flashed, and she also vanished in a soundless manner.

By the time Tang Wulin returned to the Blood G.o.d Legion, it was already very late into the night. After returning to his dormitory room, his mind was filled with thoughts of her.

Only after pulling out his Golden Dragon Spear and immersing himself in spear intent was he able to slowly enter a meditative state.

Separations were always followed by hope and antic.i.p.ation for the next reunion.

If he could secure a good result during the compet.i.tion and earn a promotion to the major rank, he'd be able to visit her on a regular basis. He had to work hard!

This two-day break had completely reinvigorated him and filled him with motivation.

No matter how much pressure was weighing down upon his shoulders, all of his exhaustion would be wiped away at the sight of Gu Yuena's sweet smile. He had to become more powerful so he could be with her someday. After he became powerful enough to stand at the pinnacle of this entire world, he would never have to worry about anyone forcibly separating him from Gu Yuena ever again.

He cultivated for the entire night, and the compet.i.tion resumed the next day.

After logging on to the Star Battle Net, Tang Wulin discovered that the text above his head had changed again. The silver and golden arrows had both changed into triangles, and they were also glowing brighter than before.

These were most likely symbols that indicated that he'd progressed to the round-robin stage in both Soul Master and mecha battles.

Something else that he noticed was that as he made his way through the crowd, many of the people around him would naturally turn to observe him after noticing the symbols above his head, and there were very few people like with two symbols above their heads.

Could people enter the battle net even if they weren't competing

Tang Wulin also quickly discovered that the number of people in the western compet.i.tion region sports stadium definitely far exceeded the number of compet.i.tors.

Just like in the elimination stage, the Soul Master and mecha battles were also held on alternating days during the round-robin stage.

There were only a total of 64 people who had made it to the round-robin stage, and only half of them were going to be eliminated. However, the number of people present was definitely more than even 640!

”Esteemed round-robin stage contestant, during the round-robin stage, spectators will be permitted to enter the compet.i.tion venue. Anyone can issue a set amount of federal credits to spectate the matches, and you can also spectate other matches. The prices of the ticket will differ depending on the locations of the seats.”

As the electronic voice rang out, a price chart appeared before the flabbergasted Tang Wulin.

This, this was such a blatant money-grab!

Tang Wulin was completely rooted to the spot. Only now did he realize that the federation was the biggest money-grabber on the entire continent!

Money had to be paid just to spectate the matches at this stage, and this would surely continue into the finals as well. The Star Battle Net had only just been released, so it most likely wasn't extremely profitable at the moment. However, if even normal people could enter the Star Battle Net in the future, then this thing was definitely going to be able to earn the federation an astronomical amount of money! Once the Star Battle Net encompa.s.sed the entire federation, then even the Spirit PaG.o.da's wealth wouldn't be able to come close to that of the federation.

With Tang Wulin's intelligence, he was quickly able to realize just how effective this battle net was going to be at making money. Its influence would also undoubtedly continue to rise as it became more prevalent. However, the hardware was currently still too expensive, so it would be difficult to make the battle net something that was available on a widespread basis in the near future.

Just as he was mulling over those thoughts, it was already time for his match.

Light flashed, and Tang Wulin found himself in the compet.i.tion venue.

The compet.i.tion stage was still the same size as before, but he could see that there were many spectators seated around the venue.
