Eight of the top ten in the Galaxy Main Competition were disciples of the Eternal Sect, which meant they had already secured eight Holy War entry tickets.
So, Jun Changxiao was lying in his seat, so excited he was about to pass out.
The epic quest required two, and now it was four times higher than the minimum. When it settled, it would definitely give even more rewards!
“Hurry up and end!”
What Jun Changxiao hoped for now wasn’t whether he could win the championship, but for the Galaxy Main Competition to end quickly. That way he could complete the epic quest, and then… break through to the Heavenly Secret Realm!
Because it had been a long time since he’d experienced the pleasure brought by a realm breakthrough, he missed it terribly.
“Worthy nephew!”
Gu Tianxing laughed. “You’ve brought Uncle too many surprises!”
The contestants representing Dutian Realm in battle occupied eight of the top ten spots, and one of them was even his own son. He was naturally overjoyed.
Uncle Gu had already started thinking that when news spread back to Dutian Realm, it would definitely cause a huge sensation!
Inevitably so.
Even now, it was already sensational.
Audiences from different planes were all discussing it, all deeply shocked!
It wasn’t that previous Universal Holy War Galaxy Main Competitions hadn’t had fellow sect members among the qualifiers, but having seven people advance at once like this truly set a new record!
“About time.”
Gu Zhaoxi stood up.
Though not tall, because he had just defeated his opponent, he immediately attracted the attention of the entire venue.
“Swish!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Zhaoxi tore off his outer coat, revealing the Eternal Sect high-level uniform, then dashingly donned a cloak embroidered with the words “Eternal.”
The two characters shone with brilliant light under the sunlight, once again shocking all the martial artists in the venue.
“Alliance Leader Gu’s son…”
A powerful expert said in disbelief, “Is actually also from the Eternal Sect!”
“Exactly!”
“Out of ten entry tickets, the Eternal Sect occupies eight!”
“If that Lu Qianqian hadn’t deliberately conceded, if that Su Xiaomo had held on a bit longer, wouldn’t it be…”
Everyone didn’t dare think further, because the more they thought, the more they imagined the Eternal Sect sweeping the entire competition. That would definitely be even more heart-shaking than now, even more record-breaking than now!
While the audience was shocked, the cameras gave close-up shots of He Wudi, Li Qingyang, and the others one by one.
They either stood proudly, or leaned against walls, or sat on the platform, all with faint smiles at the corners of their mouths, emanating an even stronger aura of iron bones clanging.
“Sect Leader Wang.”
Jun Changxiao looked toward the sky and thought to himself, “Is this sect as you wished!”
If Sect Leader Wang had a spirit in heaven, he would never have imagined that the once Iron Bones Clanging Sect, once despised as a third-rate sect, would today stand proudly in the upper universe’s highest-standard main competition in an almost sweeping manner, becoming an existence that the world respected!
The competition wasn’t over yet, so why did it feel like they’d already won the championship?
Actually.
The championship was already in hand.
The remaining Lu Ban Qi Hao and Teemo were completely like two little lambs falling into a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den, and what awaited them was…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The next round of battle began. Although he had fought intensely with Xiao Zuiji and consumed considerable energy, Ye Xingchen was still full of vigor. He grabbed Teemo and gave him a thorough beating, directly abusing his opponent until he shouted surrender.
Suffering the same fate was Lu Ban Qi Hao.
As beings from both the Valoran Continent and the King’s Continent who absolutely had to die, making it to the top ten was already a miracle. So when he encountered Eternal Sect disciples surrounding him from front, back, left, and right, his good days were over.
Of course.
Just because these two pitiful cannon fodder lost their matches didn’t mean the main competition was over, because there was still the finals match!
As expected.
He Wudi VS Ye Xingchen!
“Step!”
Night Emperor was first to land on the battle platform, pointing proudly at He Wudi. “Come, battle!”
“…”
He Wudi walked up listlessly.
Since they’d made it into the top ten, winning or losing didn’t matter anymore, so he decided to throw the match and hand the championship to Senior Brother Ye.
“I hope.”
Ye Xingchen said, “You’ll fight me the same way you fought Ling Li.”
He Wudi met his gaze and saw seriousness in it, saw the desire for an ultimate battle, so he smoothed back his disheveled hair and said gravely, “As you wish!”
“The match begins!”
The referee, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, shouted from a distance.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he started running away. When he looked back, he saw the two contestants erupting with their cultivation and colliding together, forming terrifying air waves that affected the surroundings. He desperately howled, “I’m never being a referee again!”
“Boom—”
Everyone completely ignored the referee slamming headfirst into the outer wall. They stared unblinkingly at the battle platform, guessing that this finals match would definitely be spectacular!
In reality?
When He Wudi got serious, he was truly terrifying.
So much so that when Ye Xingchen was just preparing to attack, he saw his opponent suddenly close in and raise his fist to smash down using the same instant-kill method as with Ling Li.
Movement, power.
Not a fraction of difference, exactly as he wished!
“Boom!”
The battle platform shattered again, the ground instantly caving in.
The same explosion, the same effect, once again performed in the finals!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, and saw through the dusty area a figure slowly walking out.
Who?
Ye Xingchen.
He stopped outside the battle arena, head constantly lowered, white foam gradually overflowing from his mouth. Finally unable to steady himself, he fell with a “thud,” and until he fainted, he howled in his heart, “He took it too seriously!”
Readers: “Can’t you take a loss!”
“Whoosh!”
Wind blew, blowing away the dust.
He Wudi stood on the shattered battle platform, looking at Ye Xingchen who had fainted outside the arena, scratching his head. “Hit a bit too hard.”
“The Cangyun Galaxy Main Competition champion, Eternal Sect disciple He Wudi!” The substitute referee shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Ding! Epic quest completed.”
“Ding! Epic quest settlement beginning!”
With the champion determined, the quest notification immediately came. Jun Changxiao once again covered his face, letting out the kind of strange cackling laugh that only villains make.
“Worthy nephew.”
Gu Tianxing said, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Jun Changxiao said joyfully, “Just have the urge to sing loudly.”
Gu Tianxing laughed. “With your disciple winning the main competition championship and having so many finals entry tickets, it truly is something to be happy about. If you want to sing, sing. No one will laugh at you.”
“Ahem!”
Jun Changxiao cleared his throat, stood on the viewing platform, put his hands on his hips, and loudly sang “Chaotic World Superstar.”
Uncle Gu wasn’t wrong.
No one would laugh at being happy enough to sing after a disciple won the championship, because… as soon as Dog Sheng started, all the audience in the venue collapsed in their chairs, bleeding from all seven orifices, foaming at the mouth and fainting.
“Ahhh—”
“Pft!”
Gu Tianxing toppled sideways in his seat. Hearing the high note coming again, he first sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood, then slowly slid to the ground, his legs and hands still constantly twitching.
“Ding! Epic quest settlement complete.”
“Ding! Disciples successfully obtained Holy War entry tickets 8/2, meeting qualification conditions. Epic quest completed, completion rate 400%, host receives 20,000 reputation points.”
“Ding! Sect reputation points: 26,000.”
“Ding! Congratulations to host for completing Upper Universe Epic Quest One, obtaining Supreme Grade Heavenly Secret Secret Realm purchase right ×1.”
Jun Changxiao listened quietly. Seeing no further movement, he said in shock, “That’s it?”
The epic quest was completed at 400% excess, and all he got was one secret realm? And he still had to buy it? Was there any justice left, any law!
“Whoosh!”
As Dog Sheng was collapsing, waves after waves of terrifying power seemingly from the depths of the universe surged into his Baihui acupoint and Huiyin acupoint, instantly occupying his entire inner body, including his dantian, thoughts, and consciousness sea.
