Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 152 Winning the Championship

On the stage, Huo Jingtian slowly raised his hand, gently touched his gray beard, and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, under the attention of the crowd, several more people came on stage one by one and started several competitions with each other. They each used all their skills and tried their best to show their strength and skills. However, compared with the thrilling and wonderful competition between Shen Yun and Liu Tiecheng, these subsequent competitions were obviously much inferior in terms of intensity and excitement.

With the fierce competition between Shen Yun and Liu Tiecheng as a reference, these subsequent competitions seemed to have lost their due brilliance and appeared somewhat dull and boring.

It is like after tasting an extremely delicious dish, when you try other ordinary dishes, you will always feel that something is missing, and it is difficult to mobilize the strongest interest and enthusiasm deep in people's hearts. It just makes people feel a little uninterested and it is difficult for people to truly devote themselves to and immerse themselves in it.

As the fierce battle of the last competition slowly came to an end, the noise and tension in the arena gradually dissipated. When the dust settled, the final ranking of the competition was finally officially announced.

Shen Yun won the first place with his absolute overwhelming strength.

The eyes of everyone in the audience instantly became extremely hot. Those eyes were filled with naked desire, envy, and a little jealousy, as if they wanted to burn the reward in Shen Yun's hand. Everyone's eyes revealed a strong desire to rush forward immediately and take the heavy reward on behalf of Shen Yun.

After all, that was a full one thousand mid-grade spirit stones. The weight of such a number of mid-grade spirit stones piled together was naturally not to be underestimated.

And everyone was thinking in their hearts that Shen Yun had just experienced such an intense and exhausting competition. At this moment, he was already very tired and exhausted. It was really inappropriate for him to carry such a heavy thing. But they could do it. They were not talented, so they were suitable for doing some physical work. They could still carry a thousand medium-grade spirit stones. At this moment, the whole scene seemed to be shrouded by this kind of burning desire and expectation. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, if they could have these rewards, it would be a wonderful thing.

The second place winner was Liu Tiecheng, who stood on the stage with a bit of reluctance on his face, but had to accept the result. After him, the next in order were Zhao Mingxuan from the Zhao family, Chen Shiting from the Chen family, Shen Fengxiang from the Shen family, Chen Ruiwen from the Chen family, Zhao Fanhua from the Zhao family, Liu Tiexin from the Liu family, Shen Rou from the Shen family, and Chen Haosheng from the Chen family.

After the award ceremony, everyone did not leave because there was something more important than receiving the award.

Huo Jingtian slowly stood up from his seat. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, but he exuded a calm and powerful aura. Then, a ray of light flashed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, his figure appeared on the competition stage like a ghost. The speed was so fast that many people only saw a flash before their eyes. When they reacted, he was already standing there steadily, as if he had always been standing there. This magical body movement made everyone in the audience marvel, and their hearts were full of speculation and expectations about what would happen next.

Huo Jingtian appeared in front of Shen Yun. Shen Yun was shocked when he saw this scene. His pupils shrank sharply and his face was full of astonishment and horror. Because before this, he had not noticed any movement of Huo Jingtian at all, as if Huo Jingtian had teleported in front of him out of thin air.

Shen Yun's heart was in turmoil at this moment. He deeply realized that the gap between himself and a Jindan Realm expert like Huo Jingtian was so huge, and the opponent's strength was so unfathomable. Just this mysterious and elusive body movement had already made him feel in awe, and he truly felt the terrifying power of the Jindan Realm expert. This power was far beyond his imagination, and made him deeply realize his own insignificance and powerlessness.

Huo Jingtian stared at Shen Yun with a sharp gaze and said slowly, "Your name is Shen Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, and responded: "Senior, it is me."

Huo Jingtian nodded slightly, with an imperceptible look of satisfaction on his face, and then said softly: "You are good, go on." After that, he waved his arm lightly, and a black shadow flew towards Shen Yun rapidly.

Shen Yun subconsciously reached out to catch it, and when he looked closely, he found it was an exquisite token. The token was of simple texture, and the two characters "Liuyun" were deeply engraved on it. The two characters were written in a flying dragon and phoenix style, as if they contained endless majesty, which obviously symbolized the royal family of Liuyun Empire.

"Senior, what is this?" Shen Yun asked.

"This is the admission certificate to the Royal Academy. With this token, you can directly enter the inner courtyard of the Royal Academy and become an inner courtyard disciple." Huo Jingtian replied.

The eyes of the people around were instantly attracted, staring closely at the token in Shen Yun's hand, and their eyes suddenly revealed an uncontrollable envy. You know, obtaining the admission token of the Royal Academy means embarking on an extremely precious path of cultivation, and getting one step closer to the coveted "Golden Pill" realm. Their hearts were full of envy and jealousy. If they didn't know that they couldn't beat the powerful Shen Yun, they really wanted to rush forward and snatch the token for themselves. At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene became a little subtle. Everyone was thinking secretly in their hearts, and Shen Yun held the token tightly, his heart was also surging.

Shen Yun looked at the token in his hand and couldn't help muttering, "Inner Courtyard?"

Huo Jingtian nodded slightly, with a hint of majesty on his face, and explained: "Yes," his voice was steady and powerful, as if it had a power that could calm people's hearts, "The Royal Academy is divided into two parts: the Inner Court and the Outer Court. The Inner Court is where the top talents of the entire Liuyun Empire are concentrated. Those young people with outstanding talents and unlimited potential gather here. It is no exaggeration to say that the Inner Court is the future of the entire empire and the most core place for talent training in the empire. As for the Outer Court, it is the second echelon of talent reserves. Although the disciples there may be slightly inferior to those in the Inner Court in terms of talent and potential, they are also outstanding talents who have been selected and trained layer by layer. The disciples trained in the Outer Court can serve as city lords in the future, no matter how bad they are, and have a good status and achievements. They are also an important cornerstone of the development and stability of the empire, and have made an indispensable contribution to the prosperity of the entire empire."

Huo Jingtian finished speaking, and then he gently waved his arm again, and several black shadows flew out like lightning, and then several tokens of a smaller size fell accurately into the hands of other contestants. Among these contestants, every cultivator who reached the foundation-building stage or above got such a token without exception.

"You can become outer courtyard disciples of the Royal Academy." Huo Jingtian's majestic and loud voice slowly echoed in this space.

As Huo Jingtian finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence, and then a burst of noise broke out. The faces of the monks who had obtained the outer courtyard tokens were filled with surprise and excitement. They talked excitedly with each other, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
