At this time, Zhang Qi still didn't understand the original way, but everything on the field was over. With the referee's announcement, the Tianqi Competition was finally about to usher in the finals.
They are Zhang Qi, Xuan Tiancheng, and Ning Xi. Almost everyone is looking forward to this last gorgeous and unprecedented decisive battle, because the finals in this world are more unprecedented than ever before. Even more exaggeratedly, even the red-level artifact appeared on the field, and was actually defeated in the end. What was even more bizarre was that among the three people who reached the decision, two were actually from Zangyue Town who had not even qualified to participate in the competition in the past. .
The strength of Zhang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng also completely conquered everyone, especially Xuan Tiancheng's reputation as "Brother Patting the Face" resounded throughout the world. When many people did not know Zhang Qi's true strength, Xuan Tiancheng Undoubtedly, he has become the most popular candidate to win this final.
According to regulations, the start time of the finals is jointly decided by the three finalists, but the results are usually not announced until more than ten days before. However, there was an unexpected result in this issue, because these three People have just reached an agreement, that is, there will no longer be another date for the finals - it will start immediately.
This decision was shocking. Not to mention that Xuan Tiancheng and Zhang Qi had just experienced a century war, which was extremely draining both physically and spiritually. Ning Xi was the one who got a bye, but it was puzzling. What is surprising is that it was not Ning Xi who first suggested starting immediately, but Zhang Qi, and Xuan Tiancheng, who had suffered the most, expressed his support without thinking. This is not asking for trouble.
The Tianqi Ranking Competition has reached this stage. These three people are already in the top three. Any decision is enough for them to leave their names in the history of Tianqi. But these are other people's thoughts. On the contrary, these three people Everyone has his own plan.
Zhang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng have no interest in the so-called leaving a name in history. At first, they just wanted to use this opportunity to avoid the pursuit of the Mingguang Society. Now it seems that the effect has been achieved, and the Cangyue Town behind them cannot withstand it. Such a fierce impact on the world, so keeping a low profile is their best choice. Ning Xi is even simpler. For him, he has only been born for a few days and does not understand these worldly things at all. Moreover, he has been out for a while, so for him, For him, what he wanted to do most was to go home early, so, just like that, the three of them unanimously decided to start the game immediately.
The time decision was indeed very abrupt, but everyone could barely accept it, but something that everyone couldn't accept happened in the finals.
Just when everyone was looking forward to this most exciting showdown, a scene actually appeared on the field. It was definitely the most boring, weird, relaxing, peaceful, and... in short, everything exceeded everyone's expectations. The scene appears.
The weird scene is as follows:
The three of them came to the stage together, and Ning Xi spoke first: "Seventh Young Master, Xuan Tiancheng, I have watched your game, and it is indeed difficult. I want to go home early, so I won't fight. What about you?"
The second one to speak was Xuan Tiancheng: "Both of you, I don't want to fight either. I'm really tired from the fight just now. I'll go back early and take a nap. You can do whatever you want."
The third person to speak was Zhang Qi: "I definitely won't fight. I already ordered a special roast duck at the inn yesterday. I will go back and eat it now."
Ning Xi smiled and said, "That's great. Since we all have something to do, let's break up and go home!" After saying that, he was ready to leave. Fortunately, Zhang Qi reacted in time and muttered: " Okay, but what’s the rank?”
"Ranking? What ranking?" Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "It's casual. Master didn't let me take first place this time anyway."
Zhang Qi shrugged helplessly and continued: "Well, you are a Xia Daozong and have more money than us countrymen. I heard that the first place has more money than the last two. So, I am the first, and you are the second. Second, Xuan Tiancheng is third, everyone will not suffer."
The three of them nodded together, "Okay, that's it."
Then the three of them walked towards the referee with their hands on their shoulders. They walked and chatted all the way. They didn't know what they were talking about. They just vaguely heard the word "roast duck", and there were three ridiculous figures from behind and a bunch of eyeballs on the scene. There is also a mouth that opens 180 degrees.
Not to mention the audience, even the organizing committee members were all astonished. Although they had various guesses about the final, they could not have guessed that the ending would be like this. No matter what, there would be an extremely fierce battle between dragons and tigers. But it inexplicably turned into a farce of hooking up in seconds, but no matter what, this was the ending. After the three people formally submitted their opinions to the referee, this was an unchangeable fact.
Zu Xiuming announced: "The top one in this round of Heavenly Crying List is Zangyue Zhang Qi."
As soon as the announcement ended, there was a scream from the crowd: "Give me my money."
These people are all bookmakers. Zhang Qi's first place was originally an unpopular one. What's even more exaggerated is that it was decided after just a few chats. There was no battle at all, and there was even no buffering time in between. They were not even given the opportunity to adjust their compensation. He didn't even have time to recover, and he collapsed immediately.
In order to attract customers to place bets, these bookmakers had made adequate preparations. Not only did they provide a large amount of guarantees, but they also made promises on payment speed. Therefore, not long after the referee made the announcement, his bets were paid. Reply, from 200 million to 1 billion in one fell swoop, it also created the largest wealth in his lifetime.
The next step is to award awards. This step was originally about choosing a good day, but with Zhang Qisan's actions, this other day has no meaning anymore, so Zu Xiuming directly announced the start of awarding awards.
First of all, the top 100 and top 50 players will be awarded two million and four million respectively. The reward amount has doubled than before. Compared with this, they pay more attention to reputation and the status of the strong ones on the Tianwei List. This is their most valuable reward. In addition to cheers, there are also cries of joy. For them and the sect behind them, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement. At least in the past ten years, among these tens of thousands If there is a strong person on the Heavenly Weeping List among the forces that are planning to do so, this is a golden signboard. Especially for some small forces, this Heavenly Weeping List nameplate will become their ancestral treasure.
On the contrary, compared to the top 100 strong ones on the Tianwei List, there is not much joy in the top ten. At this level, no one is weak or lucky. They are all aiming for the top spot. For them, Not getting the top spot is actually equivalent to a failure. As for the 20 million reward, it doesn't make much difference whether you have the identity of being the core body of a big power.
As for the top five, each person has two pieces of purple-level equipment. Although they are randomly selected, the value of the purple-level equipment is still very high.
Perhaps in order to enhance the attraction, the extraction of purple-level equipment was also conducted as part of the competition. As the audience shouted, pieces of purple-level equipment were drawn out. It is not known whether Xuan Tiancheng is cheap or Zhang Qi is unlucky. , the two of them drew four purple-level items, but none of them were useful, and they also paid for the same medicinal materials, either to restore spiritual power or to heal injuries. These things are like lollipops to two people with spiritual power as high as the sea. What's the difference? In addition to the existence of daytime, it's better to add a chicken drumstick. As a result, all four purple-level medicines were given to Wang Jiahui by Xuan Tiancheng as a "gift".
As the rewards for the top five on the Tianqi List were distributed, everyone in the audience actually started to leave. This made Zhang Qi very strange. Wasn't there still a reward for him, the top one, that had not been distributed? Why is no one interested? This is not common sense.
Just when Zhang Qi was confused, Zu Xiuming came over and said seriously: "Zhang Qi, please."
Zhang Qi was stunned. No matter what, Zu Xiuming is a red-level emperor. In this world, strength represents status. Even if he is ranked first in Tianqi, it is impossible for an emperor to be so polite and humble to his mere blue-level emperor. Said: "Elder Ancestor, I can't bear this. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Looking at Zhang Qi's expression, Zu Xiuming smiled understandingly. He seemed to be quite satisfied with Zhang Qi's attitude. He stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, you know everything. The prize of being ranked first is not a trivial matter and is never disclosed to anyone. Everyone knows this, and the crowd naturally dispersed. The reason why you don't know is because the top people in the past refused to reward, so this rule is rarely spread, and it is natural that Mr. Zhang does not know the reason."
"Mr. Zhang, please come inside!" After Zu Xiuming gave a brief explanation, he took the lead and walked to the inner room of the hall.
Although Zhang Qi was full of doubts, when he thought of the mysterious reward at the top of the list, with his curious baby character, he subconsciously followed Zu Xiuming's footsteps towards the legendary and mysterious inner temple.
The inner hall of Tianqi is the place where the Tianqi elders discuss important matters. What they discuss are all important matters that determine the direction of Tianqi. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to get close, let alone go in. But for someone like him, who is just a blue-ranked person, I'm afraid he can't even sweep the floor. He didn't even have the qualifications, but this time he walked in through the gate openly.
The mysterious Tianqi inner hall is not as solemn or luxurious as imagined. It is just a simple inner hall. There is not even a table. There are only some scattered seats around. There is no order and no seats. This may be the so-called great simplicity, or it may be that there are no forces that can make other forces absolutely surrender. However, when Zhang Qi saw clearly some of the people sitting inside, he was really surprised.
There were not many people in Tianqi's inner hall at this time, and even Zu Xiuming was only a dozen. What surprised Zhang Qi was that these dozen people were all red-level emperors, except for the few who appeared in the arena. In addition, there were many red-level emperors that he didn't know.
What really surprised him was that he, a mere blue-level person, could not feel a trace of pressure in the inner hall full of red-level emperors. This was not a competition field, and there were no rules to suppress the red-level aura. If in the past, a red-level emperor would not be able to feel the slightest pressure. The pressure of the emperor was very terrifying, but now more than a dozen people can't feel it at all, so the only explanation is that these red-level emperors are deliberately suppressing their aura.
Although he didn't know why these people suppressed their auras, he was certain that the reason why these people suppressed their auras must have something to do with him, because he was the only blue-level person in the field.
Zhang Qi has always been bold and careful, and he quickly thought of why Zu Xiuming was so polite to his mere blue rank. There must be a connection between the two, but the strange thing is that there is no ancestor of the Wang family among these people, is it even possible? He is not qualified to participate either? If so, then the identities of these people are ready to be revealed—members of the Tianqi Presbyterian Church.
Now that things have happened, he doesn't need to bother to speculate on the reasons, because they brought him here to reveal the reasons.
In this case, Zhang Qi pulled up a chair and sat down firmly. Zu Xiuming saw that Zhang Qi could remain so calm and composed in front of the red-level emperor after seeing them, and secretly praised him. Incessantly.
"Mr. Zhang, the first place reward is different from others. The main body of distributing it is not the organizing committee, but the Tianqi Presbyterian Church." Zu Xiuming said with a smile.
Zhang Qi's heart tightened when he heard these words. To others, there seemed to be no difference between the two, but Zhang Qi was as attentive as he could hear the huge difference at once. Although the organizing committee was also composed of major forces, the rotation and is only responsible for the Tianqi Competition, but the Tianqi Presbyterian Church is different. It represents the highest authority of Tianqi. To put it bluntly, the organizing committee is just one of its functions. If the reward for the top spot is increased to Tianqi At the level of the Presbyterian Church, the weight of this first-place reward is very likely to affect the entire Tianqi. His first reaction is that this matter is by no means simple.
Seeing the serious look on Zhang Qi's face, Zu Xiu Ming was secretly amazed that this young man who looked so young behaved better than old monsters like them who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, so he continued: "Master Zhang, this top reward is one after another. If you do, you must not refuse, otherwise you will end up being the enemy of the entire Tianqi." At this point, even if Zu Xiu Ming does not release the Red Level aura, he can still let a Red Level Emperor say this, which shows the importance of this matter. .
But what surprised Zu Xiuming was that a threat from a red-level emperor did not make a mere blue-level person look unmoved. Zhang Qi still had the same calm expression as before, and there was no sign of any change because of these words. Shaken, he continued: "Of course, Mr. Zhang, you can still choose to refuse now, but the top reward will be replaced with ten pieces of purple-level equipment and tens of billions of bliss coins. What do you think?"
Zhang Qi was shocked, ten purple items, tens of billions? This reward is too generous. If you take out a few pieces of equipment, you can create a large force. To be honest, no one can pass this kind of temptation.
However, Zhang Qi is Zhang Qi after all. After experiencing the low-level existence of an inhuman child beggar, his heart is as strong as iron. He can not only withstand the blows of hell, but also withstand the temptation of heaven. Just when Zu Xiuming said these words At that time, the corner of his eye glanced at the other elders. He found that these elders had strange eyes when they heard Zu Xiuming say this. They seemed to blame Zu Xiuming for speaking too clearly. In other words, they seemed to really hope that Zhang Seven agreed.
Without getting the answer, Zhang Qi couldn't tell what the so-called top reward was, but judging from the fact that there were still such generous rewards after giving up the option, the next reward might be even more outrageous. He and himself There was basically no interaction with the people present, and he even made it clear that he would not change the family, so it was impossible for these people to think about themselves. Therefore, it can be concluded that this reward is good but difficult to get.
If it were an ordinary person, he would give up, but who is Zhang Qi? As a powerful rebel, he would never give up halfway. He said seriously: "Elders, Zhang Qi is willing to receive this top reward."
Almost all the elders were stunned subconsciously, because they had never thought that anyone would really agree. However, when they thought that Zhang Qi was just a member of the Wang Changhui who did not even have the qualifications of the Presbyterian Council, most of them had the mentality of being a guest.
After getting Zhang Qi's answer, Zu Xiuming spoke up.
The original intention of the Tianqi Competition is indeed to protect the development of newcomers. Especially in the past thousand years, Tianqi wars have continued, and the manpower losses have been huge. Tianqi is getting weaker day by day. Naturally, the Presbyterian Council has also seen the reason, so it pays close attention to this day. Zhang Qi knew these things before, and so did everyone. However, there is another important reason for the Tianqi Competition, but this reason has not been disclosed to the public. That is, the Presbyterian Council needs a Tianqi representative, or in other words, it needs a Tianqi representative. A core pillar that represents Tianqi’s future development.
The journey of cultivation in the Paradise is arduous and bizarre, but the entire social structure is very clear and insurmountable: Baijie is the class with the largest population in the entire society and is also the main force that maintains the operation of the entire society. It accounts for more than 90% of the total population, but it is the An exploitative class, but it also nurtures other classes. Although the blue level has separated from the white level, its future is still unclear, because most of the blue level will die at this stage and cannot improve. Only by entering the purple level can we enter the true core level of Tianqi. In other words, the purple level is the core layer of Tianqi.
As for the Red Order, they are the class that leads or dominates the world.
The Tianqi Competition is full of powerful people. Although it is extremely difficult to advance from blue level to purple level, most of the blue level people who can enter the top 100 can advance to the purple level normally, let alone the top of Tianqi. This is why it is said The top spot of Tianqi represents the core of Tianqi's future development, and can also be said to be the strongest blue level.
The top spot in each session of Tianqi is Tianqi’s most promising genius. The so-called top reward is actually a test. Only by passing the test can you get the real Tianqi top reward.
The reward for the top spot in Tianqi is not a physical object, but just a title, a title recognized by the Tianqi Presbyterian Church and even the entire Tianqi - Messenger of Tianqi.
Messenger of Tianqi is not a title that anyone dares to call. It is the highest civil title that has been unanimously agreed by the entire Council of Elders and even recognized by all of Tianqi. To be more precise, this title represents the highest glory of Tianqi, because it has A person with this title has unconditional qualifications to be on an equal footing with the Red-level Emperor, has all the privileges possessed by the Red-level Emperor, and automatically becomes a member of the Tianqi Presbyterian Church. This also explains why Zu Xiuming is meeting Zhang Qi. Being so polite at the blue level may also be because he is afraid of Zhang Qi's background that may become the Messenger of Heaven's Weeping in the future.
For Tianqi, although the red-level emperors are rare, there are still dozens of them, but there is only one messenger of Tianqi, so no matter how you calculate it, once you become the messenger of Tianqi, Zhang Qi’s status is more important than that of ordinary people. The red-level emperor is even higher.
Hearing this, Zhang Qi had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, and many things had a clue. It is said that the butt determines the head. At this level, many things can be seen clearly, such as why there are so many powerful forces at the top of the list, which seems to have no physical rewards. They are flocking to it, because once it succeeds, there will be an elder Tianqi in the force. This is an important position that has the power to decide the entire Tianqi. Even the ancestor of the Wang family has not been able to enter, which shows its importance.
Just like Zhang Qi, if he becomes the messenger of Tianqi, let alone Mingguang, he will not dare to offend him. Even the Sword Sect will have to give him some face. After all, he still holds a piece of Tianqi Presbyterian Council in his hand. vote.
However, everything has two sides. Zu Xiuming also made it very clear just now. The top spot is not equal to the Messenger of Heavenly Cry, but the qualification to get it, and he must also accept the test. But since Zhang Qi accepted this reward, it means that this test for him You must accept it, otherwise you will become the enemy of Tianqi. However, this is expected for Zhang Qi. He is mentally prepared for this, and he also wants to see what this test is.
Now that I have accepted it, there is no need to bargain anymore. It is better to just do it. After all, it is my first time to meet the elders and I have made a good impression. I immediately responded loudly and "righteously": "I am willing to cry for the sky and lay down my life." Effectiveness.”
The elders are all human beings. Of course they can see that Zhang Qi is also a smart man. It is impossible for him not to know the danger involved. However, the young man in front of him actually gave up the reward of existence and decisively chose the latter. He couldn't help but feel sad. In admiration, everyone secretly nodded in agreement, decisively worthy of being at the top of the list, and crying in their hearts.
Zu Xiuming also admired Zhang Qi very much. Seeing how calm he was, he slowly explained the content of the test.
