Gambling Battle Space:
This place was incredibly bustling. Li Xin didn't know how vast the entire area was; he only knew that when he arrived at Section 6, its area was already a hundred times larger than Earth.
Various races of humans gathered here; fifty percent were Astral Rank, and Universe Rank could often be seen.
"Hello, I'd like to register as a gladiator on the Gan Wu Gambling Battle platform."
Upon arriving here, Li Xin read through the rules and immediately came to register his identity information.
"Sir, please fill in your strength information and pay 1000 ganwu currency," the staff member said politely.
"First, exchange for Universe currency; Universe currency is more cost-effective."
After registering, Li Xin found a dedicated exchange platform and exchanged 110 million ganwu currency for 30,000 Universe currency.
The normal exchange rate for Universe currency to ganwu currency was 1:3300, but official ganwu currency could not be exchanged for Universe currency. Therefore, to exchange ganwu currency for Universe currency, one could only go to some unofficial platforms, and the exchange rate would be significantly higher.
"The first Gambling Battle can only be with an opponent of the same rank. Only after winning the first time can one engage in cross-rank Gambling Battles within the Astral Rank."
"To cross-rank Gambling Battle Universe Rank, one must win over a hundred cross-rank Gambling Battles within the Astral Rank and have a win rate of over ninety percent."
"My first Gambling Battle will be set at 10,000 Universe currency. If it's too much, I'm afraid no other Astral Rank Stage Five would be able to afford the price."
10,000 Universe currency was equivalent to 33 million ganwu currency. Unless an Astral Rank had some background or had suddenly become rich, it would be impossible for them to spend so much money just for one Gambling Battle!
As Li Xin randomly sent Gambling Battle invitations to all Astral Rank Stage Five, there were at least several million Astral Rank Stage Five in the Gambling Battle Space, but it took a full three minutes before someone accepted his Gambling Battle invitation.
"'The Undefeated' has accepted your Gambling Battle invitation. The opponent has applied to enable live streaming and set up a prize pool. Do you agree?"
Gambling Battles were usually conducted in a closed space, but one could apply to enable live streaming, allowing others in the Gambling Battle Space to watch the battle between the two sides.
Then, the audience could bet on the two Gambling Battle participants, forming a prize pool, and the winning party would receive one percent of the amount in the prize pool.
Of course, participants could also bet, but they could only bet on themselves winning. This was to prevent collusion and rigged matches during Gambling Battles.
"Agree!"
Thinking of someone delivering money, Li Xin had no intention of refusing.
Instantly, Li Xin was teleported onto the Gambling Battle arena. The space here was vast, as large as an Earth, and fifty kilometers from Li Xin, there stood a man with a blurred face.
"Hahahahaha, 'The Undefeated' is too arrogant a name. You should have named yourself 'Professional Money Deliverer'."
'The Undefeated' laughed heartily upon seeing Li Xin.
"Since you said the name, it's naturally better for you to use it first."
Li Xin replied. At this moment, both Li Xin and 'The Undefeated' were enveloped by a yellow light screen, indicating that it was not yet time to start the battle.
Because the prize pool was gradually increasing, meaning people were continuously placing bets, and the betting time was only five minutes. Only when the prize pool closed could the two Gambling Battle participants begin to fight.
"The Undefeated has fought 200 Gambling Battles with a win rate of sixty percent, while that The Undefeated has fought 0 Gambling Battles, meaning this is his first Gambling Battle, yet he dares to bet 10,000 Universe currency. How ignorant!"
The information of both Li Xin and The Undefeated was public and transparent, so many viewers who came to watch this time placed their bets on The Undefeated.
Five minutes later, the odds for Li Xin and 'The Undefeated' reached 1:80, and the prize pool soared to 1.08 million Universe currency.
"Flying Heaven Move!!"
The moment the light screen broke, 'The Undefeated's' Domain of Gold instantly bloomed. His psychic weapon formed a golden long spear, attacking at a terrifying speed approaching ten thousand times the speed of sound.
"Psychic amplitude thirty-six, Domain of Gold second stage. No wonder he dared to accept my Gambling Battle. Unfortunately, he's still too weak!"
"Stars Circling the Moon!"
With a single thought from Li Xin, 333 small golden swords transformed into a bright moon and slashed out.
Although the third layer of the "Extinguish Star" secret technique was a Move for trapping enemies by forming a sword array, Li Xin could still flexibly change its form, transforming the trapping Move into a purely offensive form, with its power increasing rather than decreasing.
"Pfft!!!"
The bright moon flew out. Even with the enhancement of the Domain of Gold, the golden long spear was directly shattered by the moon's frontal impact, and even 'The Undefeated' behind him was instantly killed by Li Xin.
"My Domain of Gold is indestructible. It was shattered in a frontal collision by a guy who doesn't even have a Domain. How is this possible!"
In the last bit of consciousness remaining, 'The Undefeated' simply couldn't believe he was instantly killed like that!
"That 'The Undefeated' is simply too useless! Instantly killed! My Universe currency!"
"Hahahahaha, I won the bet! I won the bet! 80 times the odds! After betting on so many underdogs, it finally paid off once!"
"............"
In the audience stands, some were happy, some were sad, and among the happy ones, Li Xin was undoubtedly one of them.
"Continue, cross-rank Gambling Battle with Astral Rank from Stage Six to Nine."
Having earned 810,000 Universe currency in one go, Li Xin naturally wouldn't stop. He continued to bet 10,000 Universe currency and continued the Gambling Battle.
With his strength, it was difficult for him to encounter an opponent in the Astral Rank in a Gambling Battle. This was simply not coming to Gambling Battle, but to pick up money.

Black Dragon Island:
While Li Xin was busy with Gambling Battles, the Martial Artists who had previously been arranged to challenge Li Xin, Hong, and Thunder God reported their situations.
"What? You were instantly killed?"
When Mo Li told Ming Yu about her battle with Li Xin, Ming Yu was somewhat disbelieving.
After all, he had arranged for Mo Li to test Li Xin's strength based on Li Xin's combat performance in the Duel Space over the past month.
Generally speaking, even if Mo Li couldn't win, she should at least be able to test Li Xin's strength, but the unexpected happened.
One must know that Mo Li was a special Genius of their Virtual Universe Corporation, yet she was instantly killed by Li Xin at the same rank!
What level of Genius was Li Xin? He couldn't judge at all.
So he took the video of Mo Li's battle with Li Xin to his superior, the Immortal-level Man Luo.
"Oh? It seems that little fellow won very easily. Mo Li didn't even manage to test his true strength."
"By the way, can you contact him now?"
A hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in Man Luo's eyes. Collecting Geniuses in the Universe and having them join the Virtual Universe Corporation was precisely Man Luo's mission in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
For every Genius found, his merit would increase by one point. The stronger the Genius found, the more merit he would receive, which was why he often leisurely stayed in the Killing Field.
However, Man Luo did not have the authority to view Li Xin's combat footage when setting opponents in the Killing Field training ground; otherwise, he would not have sent his subordinates to test Li Xin's strength.
"I've searched in the Killing Field and near Black Dragon Mountain, but I haven't found him. I've sent him emails, but he hasn't replied. However, I did find two of his good friends, Hong and Thunder God, who are also our target Geniuses for recruitment this time."
Ming Yu said somewhat awkwardly.
"Then go recruit Hong and Thunder God first. They are good friends, and you can ask them about him then."
Man Luo said.
