"Don't have any?"

Mu Jinyu looked at the group of senior students below the stage, their expressions somewhat excited and invigorated. He understood that these were people ranked lower.

Currently, none of the top ten ranked are standing here watching his battle.

However...

Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a cold smile.

He did notice that there were a few gazes constantly watching this side nearby.

Their presence was strong, all had reached the Peak of Void Breaking Realm, even at the Life and Death Realm level!

Initially, he thought these gazes were instructors secretly observing! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

But quickly, he realized that as he inquired if there were any top ten ranked present, those secret attentions suddenly carried some malice.

Clearly, these were actually the top ten ranked senior students.

At first, they found themselves above watching others' battles, disdainful to show up personally, just observing secretly from a superior position.

But upon discovering his astonishing strength, successfully defeating Du Tianyu, who ranked twelfth, with a single sword strike, nearly splitting him in two, they couldn't sit still.

No longer able to maintain that overlooking stance.

And upon hearing him announce his intention to challenge the top ten, naturally, their eyes carried some malice, thinking he was too audacious...

'Hmph, don't want to come out, just watching secretly, huh? Then I'll personally invite you out!'

Mu Jinyu mentally scoffed, then said calmly, "Since there's no one ranked in the top ten here on the spot, forget it, let you guys resolve your own disputes first, I'll go and see if I can invite these seniors to give some guidance."

After speaking, Mu Jinyu's figure flickered, landing on the ground.

Then he moved towards the ancient path upfront.

There leads to the residences of the top ten ranked, he wanted to visit and issue challenges.

"Wow!"

"That's too fierce!"

"Directly going to the top ten seniors, asking them to come out and give guidance!"

"Many of the top ten seniors often stay abroad or locked up in cultivation rooms, he might not find many of them, right?"

"Who knows, anyway, we have a good show to watch."

"..."

Seeing Mu Jinyu's actions, the senior students near the Combat Platform suddenly became excited, discussing with fervor.

Some were debating, the clash between Mu Jinyu and the top ten seniors, who had the greater chance of winning?

Some had never seen the top ten in action, unsure of their terrifying strength, but just witnessed Mu Jinyu's methods, thinking Mu Jinyu stronger.

A small portion of senior students had seen those ranked in the top ten.

They knew, among those people, some had already cultivated to the Life and Death Realm, entirely not in the same league.

Though long unseen in action, clearly not someone Mu Jinyu could defeat.

All discussed their views endlessly, unable to convince each other, eventually deciding to place bets.

Using academic credits to gamble!

To see if Mu Jinyu could successfully enter the top ten, top five, top three, even first place...

Opened various gambling pools.

And those who could open these pools naturally need sufficient credibility.

Otherwise, no one would easily trust to gamble with their academic credits.

Coincidentally, the person who opened the pool was a senior student ranked eleventh.

His rank naturally enough to convince others.

Also coincidentally, the academic credit rewards for those ranked eleven to twenty were the same.

Therefore, after Mu Jinyu defeated the twelfth-ranked Du Tianyu, he wouldn't be idle enough to challenge the eleventh.

Thus he basically wasn't a target in Mu Jinyu's upcoming challenges and had the thought to open the gambling pool.

He almost couldn't contain his smile.

…

Mu Jinyu naturally knew the senior students behind him were opening bets on his upcoming challenges, but he didn't mind, even stopped his steps.

He inquired, "Can I place a bet?"

"You? You want to bet too?"

Being discovered by Mu Jinyu that they were betting on him, these people suddenly felt awkward, stammered in inquiry.

"Hmm, can't I?" Mu Jinyu retorted.

With various pools opened, the senior ranked eleventh named Mo Yunqiong.

He heard Mu Jinyu's question, eyes turned, softly replied, "You can, but you can't bet on the opponent winning, only on yourself winning."

Mu Jinyu understood based on what he said.

Of course, they wouldn't allow him to bet on the opponent winning, otherwise, after challenging, deliberately losing could mean no loss, even profiting academic credits from the pool.

"What are the pools and odds?" Mu Jinyu then inquired.

Mo Yunqiong answered him, there were only three pools, the first was whether he could become fifth place, the second was whether he could become third place, the last was whether he could become first place.

The odds for reaching the top five were fairly moderate, not too high but not low either, only three times, whereas the odds for top three had reached ten times, and for first place reached twenty times.

That meant Mu Jinyu currently had four thousand credits, having recently become the twelfth-ranked, rewarded with one thousand credits, totaling four thousand credits. If he bet on becoming first, with twenty times odds, he'd gain eighty thousand credits.

Quite worth a try.

However, ten times for third was not little either, Mu Jinyu wanted to seize some profits.

Thinking over, Mu Jinyu asked, "Can I first bet on fifth, then bet on third after winning? Will the odds change?"

Mo Yunqiong laughed, "Of course it changes. The current odds were set based on your single-strike defeat of Du Tianyu, many still don't think you have the ability to reach top three or even first. But if you easily defeat the fifth-ranked next, others might think you have a chance at third, then the odds naturally drop, so if you're betting, better do it now."

"Oh, so I can't make more profit..."

Mu Jinyu regrettably sighed internally.

He initially planned to bet a chunk on the three times odds for fifth.

Then, upon winning, bet twelve thousand credits on the ten times odds for third.

Finally, to seize profits on the twenty times odds for first.

Now, with Mo Yunqiong's rules, obviously couldn't take advantage, so he could only directly bet on first for being more worthwhile.

"Hmm, by the way..."

Mu Jinyu was about to place a bet on the first pool when he suddenly thought of a question.

Currently, he had four thousand credits, if he won, the opponent needs to pay him eighty thousand.

Does Mo Yunqiong have so many credits to pay?

Moreover, not just him betting on this pool, others also had mysterious confidence in him, betting on him becoming first.

By then, Mo Yunqiong might need to pay tens of thousands of credits, does he have such a vast amount?

Mu Jinyu deeply doubted.

"Do you have enough credits to pay?"

"Currently, I have over four thousand credits, and you'd need to pay me at least eighty thousand credits!"
