Chapter 51

Rustling!

The applause was thunderous.

The audience all stood up, sparing no effort in clapping, full of admiration.

How to describe this final match…

It started with a dragon and ended with a phoenix, with Xu Xiaoshou in the middle.

Everyone felt a bit strange, but looking at the bloodied youth on the field, they felt that with him there, it indeed should and would end this way.

However, it had to be admitted, it was incredibly exciting!

Xiao Qixiu waved his hand, and the medical staff came forward to take Mo Mo from Xu Xiaoshou's hands.

The remaining four, looking at each other, stared at Xu Xiaoshou.

"Do you need treatment?"

These four familiar faces…

Xu Xiaoshou said with a smile, "No need!"

He pulled open his shirt, rubbed the dead flesh that had been scorched by the lava but had already been repaired, and handed it over.

"Since you're here, and I don't have anything good to give you, take this as a memento!"

"Cursed, passive value, +4."

The four turned and left, not even checking their physical condition this time.

This guy is a monster, such terrifying lava, and he didn't even get burned to death, what a pity.

During the match, the few people who were least worried about the lava were these four.

They saw the audience's worried faces and thought, "You can't judge a book by its cover." If they hadn't checked Xu Xiaoshou's body, they would have been deceived too.

Xiao Qixiu raised his hand to calm the audience's thunderous applause and smiled, saying,

"First, congratulations to Xu Xiaoshou for winning the championship of this year's 'Feng Yun Zheng Ba.' To be honest, it was unexpected!"

The audience smiled in agreement, who wouldn't have thought the same.

Only Xu Xiaoshou's face darkened, silently cursing this middle-aged man in his heart.

So, I can't win the championship, can I!

Xiao Qixiu ignored him and continued, "I noticed him during the group stage because he was causing trouble; during the breakout stage because he made things bigger; during the promotion stage…"

"Ha ha."

"I couldn't help but notice him; this guy almost made me die of anger."

The audience laughed heartily, but Xu Xiaoshou's face turned ashen.

Revenge!

This middle-aged man finally found a chance to take a jab at me!

Xiao Qixiu changed his tone, "But, without a doubt, Xu Xiaoshou is a dark horse!"

"Everyone will encounter a turning point in their life, whether it's a setback or an opportunity. Whether you can overcome it depends on your own efforts behind the scenes."

The turn was a bit big, and Xu Xiaoshou scratched his head awkwardly.

Effort?

Actually, it's not that bad.

But since you put it that way, I will definitely work harder to earn passive values in the future.

Xiao Qixiu, unaware that his words had been twisted, sighed and finally concluded his post-match comments.

"I hope in the next edition, there will still be someone who will make me 'look at them with new eyes'…"

"Now, the award ceremony!"

He activated the array command, and a podium appeared above the arena with only ten positions.

The staff brought the top ten up, and the others who participated in the promotion stage certainly had rewards, but they couldn't enjoy this moment of glory on the arena.

Xu Xiaoshou glanced around and saw many of his subordinates…

Cough, familiar old friends!

Chao Qingteng, Mu Zixi, Mo Mo…

The medical staff were quite efficient; at least Mo Mo had already woken up and regained some mobility.

Xu Xiaoshou watched these people walk past him, waving and greeting them enthusiastically.

But when he checked the information bar, he felt terrible.

Chao Qingteng walked past him and said indifferently, "Congratulations!"

"Cursed, passive value, +1."

Mu Zixi, with her twin tails, passed by, wrinkling her nose, "Hmph!"

"Despised, passive value, +1."

Mo Mo walked past, not even looking at him.

"Ignored, passive value, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou: ???

Hey!

It's just a few sword stabs and knocking you out one by one!

Is it really that petty?

Quite vengeful, huh!

Xu Xiaoshou stopped waving, these people…

Lack of tolerance, shallow-minded, can't accomplish anything!

The staff gave each of them a ring, and Xu Xiaoshou couldn't put it down; this was already his second one.

"I won't go into the other rewards, you can check them yourselves."

Xiao Qixiu turned to the audience, raising his voice, "The top ten on the 'Feng Yun List' each get one chance to choose a spirit technique from the Ling Cang Pavilion."

"The top three receive a 'Xian Tian Pill,' and if not needed, it can be exchanged for a pill of equal value!"

The audience was abuzz with envy.

The Ling Cang Pavilion is the most important pavilion of the Tian Sang Spirit Palace, containing numerous spirit techniques, including those of the postnatal, prenatal, and even master levels.

The 'Xian Tian Pill' is an eighth-grade pill that increases the probability of breaking through to the prenatal stage by 30%, something everyone dreams of!

Of course, this year's top three are a bit special, as only the champion, Xu Xiaoshou, can use this pill…

The other two are already at the prenatal stage!

Xiao Qixiu was also helpless; the quality of this year's participants was too high, and the once unparalleled 'Xian Tian Pill' suddenly seemed less impressive.

Of course, the ability to exchange it for other pills of the same grade is still very humane.

Xu Xiaoshou was quite happy; he didn't have such high cultivation like those freaks.

These rewards were just right for him, especially the 'Xian Tian Pill' and the chance to choose a spirit technique from the Ling Cang Pavilion.

Who knows, he had been in the Spirit Palace for three years and only managed to get the "White Cloud Sword Technique" at the beginning, and he never had the qualifications to enter again.

Thinking about this, Xu Xiaoshou felt incredibly bitter.

Like the other participants, they had a plethora of prenatal spirit techniques to use. Look at Mo Mo; her spirit technique might even be higher than prenatal!

And the poor him could only rely on himself to create skills of unknown grade…

Hmm?

But in the end, he still won?

"Hehe!" Thinking about this, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly laughed, it's not bad…

Seeing the awards on the arena, the audience's mood only rose.

Sure enough, Xiao Qixiu's lips curled, "Very good, now only the final moment remains."

"Inner Court slots!"

As soon as he spoke, the audience began to buzz.

"Finally, we've been waiting for this moment. I wonder how many will enter the Inner Court this year!"

"I remember last year, only Su Qianqian made it. Before that, there were several consecutive years with zero slots!"

"Yes, the threshold for entering the Inner Court is very high, but the quality is truly excellent."

"Indeed, currently, apart from the thirty-three people in the Inner Court, the total number of others probably doesn't even reach a hundred…"

"Right!"

Xiao Qixiu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read, "Inner Court slot one, Zhou Tiancan!"

Zhou Tiancan, sitting in the audience, stood up in disbelief, pointing at himself.

"Me?"

"Are you sure?"
