Chapter 121 Reward (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
(The gap is quite large, and I'm afraid Wushan's requirements are too high. Sorry about that. Wushan will continue to update steadily, ensuring quality and quantity, at a slow pace, unable to achieve the intense bursts of others, but striving for long-term stability. Thank you everyone! In fact, last chapter said today 30 votes, tomorrow four updates, Wushan is also under tremendous pressure, forcing himself to burst out, compelling himself to increase speed... Now it's clearly not achievable, and Wushan has relaxed a bit.)
Everyone was staring at Chen Hao and Yin Fenghan who were about to decide the winner, but they were interrupted by a horizontal white light that suddenly appeared in the air!
The moment the light strip appeared, the air rolled and the sky that was booming like thunder suddenly became eerily quiet. The light strip split into two, like two gentle big hands, directly separating Chen Huan and Yin Feng.
When they parted, the movements and expressions of both people did not change in the slightest, still maintaining their previous combat state. However, the two terrifying attacks that shook heaven and earth encountered the light ribbon and seemed to sink into the depths of the ocean, unable to stir up any waves again...
Everyone's gaze followed the light strip and looked up, a slender figure with an otherworldly aura appeared in everyone's eyes.
Treading on auspicious clouds, with white hair, white whiskers and a white robe, he stands with his hands behind his back, slowly descending from the ninth heaven.
……
"Riding on clouds and fog... Wu Wu... Wu Shen? The legendary Wu Shen?"
Countless disciples stared with wide eyes, their mouths agape as if they could swallow two duck eggs, and they simply didn't dare to believe what they saw. Above the Martial Emperor, he was flying in mid-air, but it wasn't true flight; put simply, it was just several times faster than running on land. Only by entering the legendary realm of the Martial God could one merge with the heavens and earth, ride the wind, tread on clouds, and traverse thousands of miles in an instant...
That is true flight, truly transcending the bounds of heaven and earth.
"Hall master..." The head of the arbitration group on the chairman's platform suddenly flew up into the air, bowing from a distance.
"See Master Mu Tang!"
Zhao Xingchen and others also stood up one after another, clasped their fists and bowed, with a look of reverence on their faces that came from the bottom of their hearts.
"No need for formalities." The old man's face wore a hint of a smile as he waved his hand through the air, and though they were separated by hundreds of feet, there was no visible sign of anything unusual. Yet, Super Starlight and the others felt a gentle power lift them up, and that soft voice came again: "Are these two little ones for the small group battle?"
This old man is the new master of Xuanwu Empire, the protector of the country, and one of the three top masters. His name is Mu Qing. What specific realm his cultivation has reached, no one in the scene can be clear about. The only certainty is that he has at least reached the peak of the Martial God Realm, or even surpassed it to become a legendary existence.
"Yes, master!"
"It's all good. What are your names?" The old man slowly descended to Chen Huan and Yin Fenghan, who were bound by the light straps, and lightly waved his hand, causing the light straps to disappear instantly, asking with a smile.
"Reporting to senior, I am Chen Huan, a disciple of the Town Yuan Kingdom." Chen Huan, who was shocked, immediately calmed down and bowed respectfully.
"Zhēn Yuán Wáng Guó... " Mù Qīng repeated to himself, his eyes gazing across hundreds of meters to the viewing platform where Zhēn Yuán Wáng Guó was located. He smiled slightly, as if greeting someone, nodded his head, and then withdrew his gaze.
No one saw, but the old man Huang Qi snorted and turned his face away, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "What prestige is this? If it weren't for the fact that Master was...".
"Disciple... disciple... Star Luo Kingdom... Yin Feng Han." Under the intangible pressure of the old man, Yin Feng Han couldn't control himself, his already shrill voice became even more piercing and trembled with fear. His pale face turned bright red.
"Not bad, not bad......" The old man's gaze swept over the two of them and intentionally or unintentionally stopped on Chen Hao.
After finishing, he looked at the leader of the arbitration group and said: "These two little guys are both people with great luck and are rare geniuses. In our Empire's New Star Hall, they can also be ranked. Make an exception, let them both be first in the small group and advance..."
"Yes, Master!"
Mu Qing's figure gradually faded away, silently disappearing from everyone's sight.
Such an ending, no one had expected.
……
The match will continue, but due to Chen Huan and Yin Fenghan's earth-shattering battle, as well as the appearance of the Xuanwu Empire's hall master, the subsequent battles have become dull and uninteresting in everyone's eyes.
……
Group five, Dongfang Jian advanced smoothly and obtained the first place in the group, winning a spot for Zhenyuan Kingdom once again. Together with Chen Huan, that makes two spots, which is enough to make Zhenyuan Kingdom proud. Group eight, Dongfang Jun broke through with great force and won again, thanks to luck as well as strength, earning a third spot for Zhenyuan Kingdom.
As expected, Bai Li Xi and Zhao Yun Long failed, but unexpectedly gained Chen Huan and Dong Fang Jun.
The ninth and tenth places were unexpectedly taken by the Da Qian Kingdom for both quotas.
The Great Drought Kingdom was as expected by everyone, but the unexpectedly weak Zhongyuan Kingdom rose to the sky!
……
After deciding on the eleven disciples who qualified for the real newcomer list, the leader of the arbitration group directly awarded them.
Eleven people each received a huge reward of 100 eighth-grade spiritual medicine, 1,000 seventh-grade spiritual medicine, and 10,000 sixth-grade spiritual medicine. The eleven people's respective kingdoms also received a set of ultimate techniques from grade eight to sixteen as a reward, personally selected by Chen Huan and others, with priority cultivation qualifications.
This is the most important thing for all major kingdoms. Chen Hao and Dongfang Jian, Dongfang Jun three people, are the ones who obtained three sets, a total of twenty-nine kinds of ultimate skills.
Delighted Hall Master Zhao Xingchen and two deputy hall masters.
Some kingdoms that failed to qualify, however, slunk away with their tails between their legs.
Chen Huan and others also obtained the qualification for temporary cultivation in Xinwu Empire's New Star Hall.
……
Chen Hao and others returned to the detached palace of the Town Yuan Kingdom when the sky had completely darkened.
The damage is severe, fortunately, the harvest is rich.
Zhao Xingchen and two deputy hall masters, Huang Qi and four others, called Chen Hao, Dongfang Jian, and Dongfang Jun to the conference hall alone.
"In the next three months, you will be staying in the Xuanwu Empire, with cultivation as the main focus. Especially Chen Hao, your current realm is too low, which restricts your combat power. Within these three months, if you can raise one or two levels, you'll definitely have the qualifications to challenge the Bai Chao rankings! Dongfang Jian also has a chance. Dongfang Jun, your fighting strength is the weakest, and it's just a coincidence that you got a spot this time, so take it as a kind of tempering, no need to be desperate, your hope for the next realm will be huge..." Everyone sat down after Zhao Xingchen spoke straightforwardly.
"Three sets of ultimate techniques from level 8 to level 16, all personally selected by you. It's also what you like. For the time being, let you take care of it. Three months later, just before the New Star Competition begins, our New Star Hall will take it back. If you want to cultivate, you can borrow at any time. At the same time, the set you chose will also be granted to your respective families for cultivation rights. Of course, the kingdom will also greatly reward your families. The Eastern family is clear, Chen Hao, how do you plan to reward?"
"How can I reward you?" Chen Hao asked in slight surprise.
"You are not a direct descendant of the Xiao family. It's up to you to decide whether the reward goes to your own family or the Xiao family. However... I suggest that material rewards go to the Xiao family, while honor rewards are given to your own family members. After all, your parents were ordinary people who were taken care of by the Xiao family, which is more suitable..."
"Let's just do as Master said." Chen Hao said succinctly, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Talking about family, Chen Hao once again thought of Xiao Jihuan. Although Xiao Lao now possesses the complete Longevity Technique, his cultivation will certainly make great progress. But as long as Xiao Jihuan is not eliminated, it will always be a heart disease...
Especially, Xiao Jihan also has the complete Longevity Technique, and Xiao Jihan's character is absolutely a ruthless and cunning hero. Moreover, his innate talent and enlightenment are extremely high, beyond ordinary people's comparison. If he were still in Ming, Chen Huan would not be afraid at all. But now, Chen Huan had no idea where Xiao Jihan escaped to...
Fortunately, there is no need to worry for the time being. At least in two or three years, Xiao Jihanshouldn't appear yet.
"What's wrong, is there still something difficult? If so, just say it, with your current status, not to mention the master of the hall, even the king will give you face. If you can participate in the Hundred Dynasties List, heh... You little guy, directly rise to a transcendent position. Just like Dongfang Ting from the Dongfang family, she's really something..." Huang Qi said with a big smile when he saw Chen Hao frowning.
"It's nothing major, I'm just a bit worried about my family..." Chen Hao said with a shake of his head after hearing Huang Qi's words.
"Chen Hao! What do you mean?" Dongfang Jun said discontentedly: "I, Dongfang Jun, have a grudge against you because of He Lian Wu Zi. Beauty, I like is like, killing you was originally my idea too. But now, I admit, temporarily not as good as you. Losing to me or not, it's bearable, how high can you fly, go ahead and fly, I, Dongfang Jun, haven't become brain-dead to the point of using your family to vent my anger..."
Chen Hao looked at Dongfang Jun with a bit of speechlessness, saying: "Did I say anything about you? You have the Dongfang family, it's not like you'd go against the martial way principles!"
"Not my best... just a past write-off. Just a woman, everywhere is full of beautiful scenery..."
Zhao Xingchen and Huang Qi looked at Chen Hao and Dongfang Jun with a strange expression, after seeing that the two were no longer arguing, Zhao Xingchen asked: "Chen Hao, is there something wrong with your family's safety?"
"For the time being, there won't be a problem... but two or three years later is hard to say. If I'm not around, it's likely that there really will be a problem..." Chen Hao thought for a moment before speaking out. One person's power is limited after all; his goal is at a higher level and can't stay in the Xiao family to protect them. The power that can be borrowed must be used."
"Tell me, what's the specific situation. Don't worry, no matter what the situation is, the Town of Yuan Kingdom will be your strongest backing, guaranteeing that you can charge forward to higher levels without any distractions!" Zhao Xingchen said without hesitation.
Chen Hao briefly told Xiao Jihan's story and said, "If we can find him, it would be best. A hidden enemy who will stop at nothing is like a fishbone stuck in the throat."
"It takes time, but as long as he didn't die in the wilderness, he can still be found. The characteristic of missing four fingers is very obvious, and his facial features are also like what I said."
"Hmm!" Chen Hao responded with a sound, and without saying anything, his hand shone brightly as he took out the small knife and a piece of wood from his storage ring. With a few swift cuts, wood shavings flew everywhere, and in an instant, Xiao Jihan's appearance appeared before everyone's eyes.
Huang Qi was fine, and he had long known that Chen Huan had this skill. But Zhao Xingchen and the others were stunned, especially since there was no energy fluctuation on Chen Huan's body, and it was all done by relying on the small knife itself.
Moreover, although it was extremely brief, everyone could sense a mysterious aura emanating from Chen Huan.
……
Leaving the council hall, Chen Huan directly knocked on He Lian Wu Zi's door.
Thank you...
