As the Heavenly Ladder Points increased, once surpassing six hundred points, even achieving dual firsts in ’Survival’ and ’Kill’ in the Thousand-Person Battle could not earn you 99 points; at most, you could only get 40 points.
For example, Yan Chuan’s score this time was only 8 points.
Rising in points gets increasingly difficult.
Dropping in points, however, is easy.
Thus, Wang Zhengyi and Ma Hongniang, already at 700 points, did not dare to linger long in Heavenly Ladder City or recklessly start a match, fearing a drop in points, worried they would not have 700 points when the ’King City Competition’ arrived, which would be embarrassing.
At this moment, Yan Chuan finally officially joined the ’700 points’ group.
"Not easy at all!"
Yan Chuan sighed, opened the panel—

Yan Chuan started to push for points on September 17th, and by today, October 15th, for an entire month, Yan Chuan spent almost all his time in Heavenly Ladder City, participating in match after match of Thousand-Person Battles, verifying martial arts in the battles, lecturing martial arts, "Mutual Teaching and Learning," with infinite feedback.
One Absolute Skill after another!
Yan Chuan’s growth was extremely fast!
By today, almost all major skills had reached the middle stage of the Sixth Realm, and a few, such as "One Yang Finger," "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar," "Seven Injuries Fist," and "Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill," had reached the late stage of the Sixth Realm, while "Wave Riding Micro Steps" even reached the Peak of the Sixth Realm, which was the fundamental reason Yan Chuan could entangle with Hua Lei for so long.
"Hua Lei!"
"800 points!"
"That person’s ’Divine Search Finger’ is a Poison Skill, treacherous and cunning, and the 800 points are inflated."
"But I have many Absolute Skills, giving me a unique advantage in the Thousand-Person Battle, and my 700 points are also inflated."
Strictly speaking, Yan Chuan can only be considered a ’weak 700 points,’ and Hua Lei, devoid of "Divine Search Finger," can only be considered a ’weak 800 points’ relying solely on "Yao Xuan Nine Heavens" and "Endless Palm Technique."
"I can’t last a hundred rounds under Hua Lei’s hand."
"If up against legitimate 800-point experts like Bao Xiang and Jinpeng, I might fare even worse."
Yan Chuan was well aware of his shortcomings.
However, in a short time, he managed to cultivate a range of Absolute Skills to such a level, showing such progress, it was already astonishingly fast.
To progress even faster—
The arena of the Thousand-Person Battle was not enough!
He needed more spectators, more listeners.
"What a pity!"
Yan Chuan shook his head; he regretted that Heavenly Ladder City had a ’Friend System’ but no ’Spectator System.’ Otherwise, with his current tens of thousands of ’friends,’ wouldn’t that equate to vast numbers of listeners?
If managed well, even without the Thousand-Person Battle, even with just one-on-one arena battles, Yan Chuan could gather tens of thousands of spectators, constantly listening to his commentary, which would certainly accelerate his progress.
Unfortunately, Heavenly Ladder City did not have a ’spectating’ function.
However——
"In regular ’ranking’ matches, spectating isn’t possible."
"But the ’Contest’ does have a ’spectating’ function. Once the ’Mo Yin Continent’s Royal City Competition’ begins, martial artists from all over Mo Yin Continent’s Heavenly Ladder City can experience each match first-hand!"
"Some go to the official live stream room to listen to the official commentary."
"Some set up their own live stream rooms, gathering audiences."
"Some appear in the tournament field like phantoms, not listening to any commentaries, watching matches up close, not distracted by anything."
There are many ways to spectate.
This is mainly to ensure fairness.
With everyone watching, it assures no cases of official cheating occur.
First ’public,’ then we can guarantee ’fairness and justice.’
But this greatly benefits Yan Chuan: "I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ and in the ’King City Competition,’ the opponents are strong, so I may not be able to comment while fighting. But I can set up ’live stream rooms’ and ’commentary booths,’ attracting audiences and explaining each match to them."
Some people might be knowledgeable or have high martial arts mastery or prefer quiet, choosing not to listen to commentary but watch by themselves.
However, more people might find their martial arts lacking, or their knowledge too little, completely unable to understand the key points of battles among experts, including viewing angles and various viewpoint switches, being insensitive to these, finding it hard to catch the essence, unable to see the significance themselves, and end up in confusion while watching. They choose to go to the official live stream room for commentary.
But the style of the official commentary may not suit everyone.
Thus, individual live stream rooms and various commentaries have a market.
Martial Artists in Heavenly Ladder City can freely choose, picking a live stream room that suits them, one where they can easily understand and enjoy the commentary and viewing experience.
"I have the most audience during matches, but on one hand, if the opponents are too strong, it’ll place too much pressure on me, making it hard to split my attention to comment; on the other hand, if the opponents are too weak, the matches aren’t exciting enough, and there are fewer people willing to broadcast and commentate on me, and the official live stream room provides me less screen time."
