Chapter 203: This Is Love!

"Damn! Ma Huainan is so devious! Better stay away from that guy in the future."

"This is the first time I've seen such a huge wager."

"Whoever loses will probably hold a grudge for a lifetime."

"Awesome, I've already started a live stream and sent it to the Family group. To think a regular gathering could turn into such a big drama; my mom loves watching this kind of gossip."

…

The discussions below rose and fell, and everyone was thoroughly excited.

A wager of this level was extremely rare, even among the younger generation of the Five Great Giants.

At this moment, Sima Bang looked up at Yang Fan in the sky, his face flushed with anxiety.

"Sister-in-law Gu Le! Why didn't you stop him just now? That scoundrel Ma Huainan is obviously up to no good. That's a Spirit Vein Star! Think of how much it would hinder the development of a Divine Kingdom!"

Compared to Sima Bang's anxiety, Gu Le appeared unusually calm.

She just quietly gazed at Yang Fan in the sky, her eyes faintly carrying a touch of curiosity, scrutiny, and doubt.

"Cousin." Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng spoke up suddenly with a smile, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in your husband?"

Gu Le shook her head gently upon hearing this, "Not that confident. He hasn't been receiving investment from the Gu Family for long enough; his chances of winning aren't high."

"Oh?" Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng raised an eyebrow, "If that's the case, why didn't you stop him?"

Gu Le remained silent for a moment, then said, "Husband and wife are one thing, but a Divine Kingdom is another."

"Divine Kingdom assets belong solely to the individual. If he can't even see through this level of scheming, then it can only mean… I misjudged him, and the Gu Family has made a failed investment."

Her voice carried an extremely rational calmness, as if Yang Fan were not her partner.

Speaking of this, Gu Le paused and looked at Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng with some curiosity, "Cousin, you didn't stop him either just now, did you? He is one of our Gu Family now. Are you just going to watch the Sima Family take advantage of him?"

Hearing this, Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng just shrugged, then the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a meaningful smile.

"I didn't stop him… because I think he can win."

"…"

At this moment, on the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle field, Ma Huainan had already summoned his army of believers.

Five thousand Martial Master Realm powerhouses stood at the very front, while the remaining believers had all reached the Martial Apprentice level. With a total population of one hundred million, they formed a military formation, their Aura soaring to the sky.

Ma Huainan looked at Yang Fan with a face full of confidence, seemingly wanting to see regret and panic in the other's eyes.

Having only received investment from the Gu Family for a month, how far could a Divine Kingdom possibly develop?

Resources are always the first priority for the development of a Divine Kingdom.

No matter how strong an SS-rank talent is, it ultimately needs time to grow. In his view, Yang Fan could only suppress those Human Race Prodigy, so how could he possibly be his opponent?

What's more, he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Apart from the inherent Realm of his believers, due to the blessing of his own Divine Kingdom talent, all the believers under his command participating in the battle possessed the powerful Physique of the "Martial God Body." Their combat power far exceeded those of the same rank; ordinary Martial Apprentice were simply vulnerable before them.

He was confident that even if Yang Fan really managed to scrape together one hundred million Qi Refining Realm believers, they would absolutely not be his match.

Before proposing this wager, he had investigated Yang Fan's battle record.

Currently, Yang Fan's ranking on the Taichu Battlefield was only around 900,000.

And he had already fought his way into the top 200,000!

In his view, there was no possibility of losing this match.

"The revenue of a Spirit Vein Star! I originally just wanted to take the opportunity to show my face and get additional investment from the Sima Family; I didn't expect such an unexpected harvest!"

Ma Huainan was incomparably excited inside. With one extra Spirit Vein Star, that meant an income of one billion divinity points every month.

For a Divine Kingdom to develop, resources are never enough!

"Brother Yang, please." Ma Huainan smiled, raising his hand to signal.

Yang Fan's expression was calm as he lightly snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the Divine Kingdom space shook violently, and a large number of believers manifested from the Divine Kingdom.

Fifty thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivator! Ten thousand Martial Master powerhouses! Five thousand Second-Class intelligent life! The remaining Qi Refining, Martial Apprentice, and First-Class intelligent life appeared on the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle field in waves, like a tide.

In just a short moment, the vast army covered the entire world.

And this military formation was clearly not arranged randomly.

It was a top-tier military formation meticulously constructed by Yang Da according to the current Divine Kingdom combat power system.

Martial Arts believers were responsible for frontal defense, stabilizing the front line.

Cultivation believers focused on offensive slaughter, responsible for long-range bombardment and battlefield harvesting.

As for the intelligent life, they maneuvered throughout the entire military formation, taking on duties such as adjusting the battlefield, supplementing firepower, and supporting weak areas.

The three Divine Kingdom development systems cooperated with each other to exert even greater combat power.

Besides this, under the continuous investment of massive funds, the number of Intelligent Weapon in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom had long exceeded one hundred million.

All the believers participating in the battle today, apart from weapons like swords, spears, and halberds, were equipped with complete Intelligent Weapon.

The war capability of the entire legion could no longer be measured by simple Realm.

In order to cope with this simulation battle, Yang Da had even urgently recalled Yang Wu, who was fighting on the front lines, to personally serve as the commander-in-chief of this great battle.

Boom!!!

A terrifying Aura suddenly swept across the entire Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle field.

The sky shook, and the earth roared.

Those countless streams of blood, spiritual power, and mechanical fluctuations intertwined, forcibly suppressing the sky-high Aura of Ma Huainan's side!

Many of the opponent's believers instinctively took half a step back, looks of fear appearing in their eyes.

The smile on Ma Huainan's face also froze completely at this moment.

The spectators below saw this scene and were all stunned, their jaws almost hitting the ground.

"Am I seeing things? Isn't he only a sophomore? How could he have so many Foundation Establishment and Martial Master believers!"

"That's not even the half of it! There are even Second-Class intelligent life in there! Damn, no wonder the Gu Family is willing to give such a huge investment. Even among peerless prodigy, this guy is a monster-level figure!"

"The Divine Kingdom is simultaneously following three paths: Cultivation, Martial Arts, and mechanical, and every single one of them is ridiculously strong!"

"The Gu Family has really struck gold this time!"

…

Gu Le gazed at Yang Fan on the battlefield, and her eyes gradually brightened.

Back at the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle, although Yang Fan performed stunningly, he was ultimately only at the level of a Human Race Prodigy.

Although Yang Fan was rated as a peerless prodigy, no one knew exactly how far his Divine Kingdom had developed.

She hadn't stopped this wager just now, which in itself held a bit of testing.

The relationship between her and Yang Fan was originally a union of interests.

She possessed status and resources, while Yang Fan possessed talent and a future. Essentially, both sides were a partnership with a bet placed in advance.

Truly smart people never let emotion override reason.

Appreciation could exist, and good feelings could exist, but before truly seeing the value, any investment must remain clear-headed.

Because emotions can deceive, but interests cannot.

But at this moment, when Yang Fan truly displayed the foundation of his Divine Kingdom, Gu Le suddenly realized that she seemed to have really struck gold.

Gu Le looked at Yang Fan floating in the sky, her gaze full of deep affection.

At this moment, she was certain in her heart: 'This is love! This is the romance she has dreamed of!'
