Chapter 83

The grand competition has ended, and the physical rewards were distributed on the spot.

The Jing family descendants who participated in the grand competition all rubbed their hands in excitement, eagerly waiting to receive their rewards.

Many supervisors also got busy.

This year, over a thousand Jing family descendants participated in the grand competition. Of course, apart from those who entered the finals, the other martial artists could only receive a consolation prize. Most people received a reward of ten spirit stones.

Therefore, with the collaboration of the various supervisors, the reward distribution process was very swift.

Very soon, the rewards for the Jing family descendants who did not enter the final stage were all distributed.

At this moment, on the high platform in the square, Clan Chief Jing Chengye's gaze slightly shifted, looking towards the VIP seats.

The Jing family grand competition had already ended, and the people in the VIP seats should have gradually left. However, in reality, not a single one of the VIPs had even stood up.

Seeing Jing Chengye's gaze, these people completely ignored it, continuing to chat or daydream as they pleased.

"Everyone," Jing Chengye cupped his hands towards the VIP seats.

"The Jing family grand competition has ended. You are all very busy, so perhaps you could..." Jing Chengye chuckled dryly.

Although he did not say it outright, anyone with a normal mind could understand that he wanted them to leave.

"Haha, Clan Chief Jing, you go about your business. You don't need to worry about us," Lin Nanluo laughed heartily, his bright eyes fixed.

Lin Nanluo was the clan chief of the Lin family.

"Exactly, if we have something to do, we'll leave on our own," another person immediately chimed in.

"Clan Chief Jing, you should focus on your important matters."

"..."

None of the people in the VIP seats had thin skin.

Jing Chengye's face darkened slightly, and he rolled his eyes, cursing inwardly.

These bastards wouldn't leave, and he couldn't directly tell them to get lost. Jing Chengye knew that these bastards were waiting for something that might happen next.

That something was the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong.

Jing Chengye did not want these bastards to see the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Chengye shifted his gaze to the fifty Jing family descendants who had entered the finals.

He, as the clan chief, would personally distribute the rewards to the martial artists who entered the finals.

Leaping down from the platform, Jing Chengye, with his hands behind his back, called out, "Jing family descendants who entered the finals, come to me!"

Jing Yan and others then gathered in front of Jing Chengye.

"Jing Yan, come over here!" Jing Chengye smiled at Jing Yan in the crowd.

Jing Yan was the first in this year's family grand competition, so he naturally received the first reward.

"This is a gold card with ten thousand spirit stones. You can use this card to exchange for spirit stones at the family treasure vault!"

"In this box are three supreme spirit stones, which are very valuable. Be sure to keep them safe."

"And this! This is the Divine Wood Order. With this order, you can go to the third floor of the family martial arts pavilion to learn a martial technique!"

Jing Chengye handed the three items to Jing Yan.

"Thank you, Clan Chief!" Jing Yan, amidst a sea of admiring gazes, received the three rewards with both hands.

Ten thousand spirit stones, four supreme spirit stones, and a Divine Wood Order. Such rewards were clearly eye-catching.

However, no one had any objections. Jing Yan's strength deserved the first place in the family grand competition.

Who could disagree?

If anyone thought Jing Yan was not qualified, they could come forward and spar with him.

"Jing Sanyuan, come over here!" After Jing Yan stepped back, Jing Chengye called out another name.

Jing Sanyuan was the green-robed martial artist who had jumped off the stage. He rubbed his hands and walked to Jing Chengye.

His reward was six thousand spirit stones, two supreme spirit stones, and a Divine Wood Order.

The third place received four thousand spirit stones, one supreme spirit stone, and a Divine Wood Order.

The rewards for the top fifty were distributed one after another, and after about an incense stick's time, all the rewards were distributed.

"Jing! Yan!"

Accompanied by a roar, a figure rapidly flew over from the back courtyard.

Standing in the square, Jing Yan's gaze also suddenly sharpened.

"Finally, he's here!" Jing Yan tightly clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.

This figure was the Xiantian realm expert Jing Tianlong, also a student of the Red Lotus Academy.

Not only Jing Yan, but countless Jing family members in the square and its surroundings also turned their eyes to the imposing golden figure.

Around the golden figure, the surging yuan qi condensed into white mist.

It looked as if he was flying through the air.

Of course, with Jing Tianlong's strength, he was still far from being able to fly. However, with a single powerful leap, he could glide through the air for hundreds of meters, which looked almost like flying.

"Here he comes!"

"Brother Tianlong has finally appeared. After the grand competition, he will have a battle with Jing Yan."

"Does Jing Yan dare to fight Jing Tianlong?"

Countless gazes kept shifting between the green-robed Jing Yan and the golden-robed Jing Tianlong.

On the high platform, the VIP seats, and the grand figures all stopped their conversations.

The main event has arrived!

To them, the Jing family grand competition was merely an appetizer compared to the battle between Jing Yan and Jing Tianlong.

Of course, if it weren't for Jing Yan's ability to defeat a half-step Xiantian, they might not have been so interested in this battle.

A one-sided battle would not be very exciting.

But now, it was different. Even if the Ninth Heaven Realm martial artist Jing Yan was not as strong as the Xiantian realm Jing Tianlong, their battle would certainly be very interesting.

On the square, Jing Chengye's aura slightly condensed, a hint of worry in his eyes. He could not forcibly stop this battle. If Jing Yan refused to fight Jing Tianlong, he could prevent Jing Tianlong from attacking, but... this battle was voluntary on both sides.

All he could do was ensure Jing Yan's safety.

"Whoosh!"

Jing Tianlong's figure landed on the square, a hundred meters away from Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan, are you ready?" Jing Tianlong, with his hands behind his back, looked at Jing Yan.

Today, he would cripple Jing Yan! Jing Yan's growth was too fast, too fast. Initially, when Jing Yan's realm fell, he thought Jing Yan would never recover and would no longer pose a threat to him. But now, Jing Yan had grown to such a terrifying level, even defeating the half-step Xiantian Jing Shuhe.

What if he reached the Xiantian realm?

Moreover, the conflict between him and Jing Yan had already become public. When Jing Yan's strength was sufficient, he believed Jing Yan would not let him off easily.

So, it was now or never to eliminate this threat at its root.
