Wang Cheng immediately arrived holding the Spirit Stones.
"Lu Changsheng, these are the Spirit Stones you earned. A total of 23,359 pieces."
"Among them, 10,000 Spirit Stones come from your drop of Heavenly Spirit Water. It was directly exchanged into Spirit Stones for you. If you want to convert it back into Heavenly Spirit Water, you can exchange 10,000 Spirit Stones for one drop at our battlefield."
Wang Cheng said with a smile.
Heavenly Spirit Water is hard currency, even the battlefield can exchange it anytime.
Lu Changsheng calculated carefully. There were his initial 10,000 Spirit Stones, plus 474 from the betting stake, and 13,640 Spirit Stones wagered in the fourth match, making a total of 24,114 Spirit Stones.
With his victory, he earned 10% of the Spirit Stones wagered, equaling 2,411 stones. Adding the winnings from his successful bets, totaling 10,474 Spirit Stones, the entire sum came to 23,359 Spirit Stones.
This truly was a massive amount.
Enough to purchase two drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
However, this was far from sufficient.
Lu Changsheng estimated that to transform his Divine Power Fruit into a true divine power,
Each Dao Fruit would require at least dozens of drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
In any case, the more Heavenly Spirit Water, the better. Preparing a stockpile of Spirit Stones would always be beneficial.
What followed was Lu Changsheng continuing his pattern of a match every three days.
The fifth match, the sixth match, the seventh match, the eighth match, the ninth match...
Another five consecutive matches, and Lu Changsheng, relying on his Spiritual Black Hole Divine Technique, Four Symbols Prison, and other divine techniques, swept through each opponent, reigning invincible.
No one could challenge him.
Furthermore, his most formidable divine technique, Five Elements Decomposition, had yet to be unleashed.
It remained his trump card.
Unfortunately, starting from the fifth match, odds on Lu Changsheng began to change.
Even when betting on himself, the returns grew increasingly minimal.
By the end, the odds were insultingly low.
Betting 10,000 Spirit Stones would yield only a few hundred in profit.
Clearly, the battlefield also had recognized Lu Changsheng’s overwhelming strength.
Nonetheless, each match continued to bring greater earnings for Lu Changsheng.
After all, as his reputation spread widely,
More people followed his battles, and hence, more wagers were placed.
For the tenth match, Lu Changsheng faced a formidable opponent who also held a record of nine consecutive wins.
This time, it wasn’t just a martial arts battlefield but instead a hybrid battlefield.
The opponent was a top-tier Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarch named East Void Daoist Monarch.
The two stood atop the arena platform.
East Void Daoist Monarch gazed at Lu Changsheng and suddenly spoke: "You are powerful! Deep down, I actually hoped not to meet you in the battlefield."
"But I did not refuse the tenth match. The stakes of our battle will certainly soar to over 100,000 Spirit Stones—I need the Spirit Stones!"
Lu Changsheng remained silent, calmly observing East Void Daoist Monarch.
East Void Daoist Monarch didn’t seem bothered and continued: "I’ve analyzed your methods; they are indeed strong—spiritual divine techniques, offensive divine skills, and imprisonment divine techniques."
"However, you have a weakness, or perhaps a shortcoming. That is that your attack divine skills are not at the pinnacle of refinement."
"As for me, I happen to possess a defensive magical treasure, the Divine Turtle Disk! If you can break through my Divine Turtle Disk, naturally, you can kill me. Otherwise, the reverse holds true."
As East Void Daoist Monarch finished his words,
East Void Daoist Monarch activated his magical treasure, the Divine Turtle Disk.
Above East Void Daoist Monarch, a colossal turtle shell seemed to materialize.
There appeared to be a gigantic spiritual turtle sprawled in the void.
Even at a glance, this was undeniably an exceptional defensive magical treasure.
Lu Changsheng also recognized East Void Daoist Monarch.
He knew that East Void Daoist Monarch’s greatest strength lay in this defensive magical treasure, the Divine Turtle Disk.
East Void Daoist Monarch had won nine consecutive battles, relying almost entirely on the Divine Turtle Disk.
No one had ever succeeded in breaking the Divine Turtle Disk.
Their tenth match commenced.
East Void Daoist Monarch stood calmly on the arena platform.
His form was enveloped entirely by the Divine Turtle Disk. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Lu Changsheng did not hold back and directly summoned his mental domain.
The mental domain descended, and simultaneously, the brilliance of the Laws flickered within the domain.
"Divine Technique: Spiritual Black Hole!"
Lu Changsheng unleashed the Spiritual Black Hole.
Yet as the Spiritual Black Hole swept toward East Void Daoist Monarch, his Divine Turtle Disk flared brilliantly. A faint, grayish glow suddenly manifested, deflecting the Spiritual Black Hole effortlessly.
Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows subtly raised.
He seemed slightly surprised.
A magical treasure capable of blocking even his spiritual divine techniques?
East Void Daoist Monarch, however, wore a solemn expression.
He understood the extraordinary nature of his Divine Turtle Disk.
Even spiritual divine techniques could be blocked.
Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng’s spiritual divine techniques were immensely powerful, and East Void Daoist Monarch wasn’t entirely confident his defense would hold.
Now, East Void Daoist Monarch could finally relax.
The Divine Turtle Disk proved capable of repelling Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Black Hole Divine Technique.
Although it couldn’t completely nullify the attack, it could stifle the majority of its power.
The remaining energy from the Spiritual Black Hole Divine Technique was still formidable, but East Void Daoist Monarch had prepared additional magical treasures for mental protection and possessed excellent mental fortitude. Withstanding the residual energy’s impact posed no challenges.
"Could it really block Lu Changsheng’s spiritual divine technique?"
"This Divine Turtle Disk seems remarkable indeed."
"Who would have thought the Divine Turtle Disk possessed such incredible utility?"
"Lu Changsheng might be in danger; if his spiritual divine techniques are ineffective, can his attack divine skills break through the Divine Turtle Disk?"
Many spectators found it difficult to believe.
East Void Daoist Monarch’s strength relied largely on the Divine Turtle Disk.
They knew the Divine Turtle Disk was powerful, but they hadn’t anticipated its potency reaching this level.
Even Lu Changsheng was rendered momentarily stunned.
But Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate; with a single thought, five radiant lights began to shine.
