Storm became number one in the world!
The main system of the World of Heroes sent an announcement to every player, and it was repeated three times.
Most of the players started cursing after receiving the message from the main system.
It wasn't because they didn't like Storm, but because they had bet heavily on Qiao Mo's victory in the official betting system.
Why did Storm turn the tables at the last moment?
The reason was that when Storm heard the girl in green cheering for him, he had a strong desire to win, and at the same time, he activated the special effect of the Mortal Affinity Swordsmanship.
At that time, Storm used the ultimate move of the Mortal Affinity Swordsmanship, "Rolling Red Dust, Endless Reincarnation."
It was the hidden special effect of this move, "Endless Reincarnation," that allowed Storm to recover all of his statuses.
It was as if Storm believed in Brother Spring, and he was revived with full health. As for Qiao Mo, he had already fought to the death with Storm, and when he faced the lively Storm again, it was normal for Qiao Mo to lose!
Just as Storm said, his victory was due to luck.
Qiao Mo lost because of luck. If Storm didn't activate the special effect of "Rolling Red Dust, Endless Reincarnation," then Qiao Mo would have won.
Storm defeated Qiao Mo and obtained the title of number one in the world. Shi Lei and He Wanqiu appeared on the stage together.
After the battle ended, the bluestone stage, which was originally a mess, was restored to its original state after the main system's restoration.
"Hello, everyone!
In this year's Martial Arts Tournament, after six days of competition, player Seven Night Dugu has obtained the honor of being the world's number one. Let us all congratulate him! "Shi Lei's voice was transmitted to the ears of every player watching the competition.
However, most of the players lost the bet, so they obviously wouldn't congratulate Storm!
Of course, Shi Lei knew that the players would not feel good after losing the bet. Hence, he added, "Congratulations to the contestant, Dugu Qiye, for becoming the World's Number One in the First Martial Arts World Championship. Everyone present today will receive an additional Mysterious Treasure Chest as a reward.
At the same time, the officials will also pick ten lucky audience members to win the grand prize! "
Picking the lucky players on the spot was something that Dream Entertainment officials had decided on a long time ago.
The players in the audience finally had some energy.
However, the players who left early were obviously depressed again!
"Now, let's welcome the winner of this year's Martial Arts Competition to the stage!"
Shi Lei shouted loudly. The main system of the Hero's World cooperated with Shi Lei and sent Windstorm to the limestone arena.
Storm appeared on the bluestone arena, his face full of smiles.
Shi Lei took the initiative to say, "Congratulations!
He became number one in the world! "
"Director Shi, congratulations to you too!
You've made a fortune from the official lottery! "Tempest replied with a smile.
"Contestant Dugu Qiye has won the title of 'World's Number One'. The reward is three million USD!"
A golden note appeared in Shi Lei's hand. This was for the occasion. Since he was giving out rewards in the Hero's World, he naturally had to use golden notes.
However, this gold note could be exchanged for three million USD at any time at the bank in the World of Heroes.
Storm took the three million US dollars and asked Shi Lei in a low voice, "Mr. Shi, should I give a speech?"
"Why are you panicking?
The rewards haven't been distributed yet!
Don't tell me you don't want the next reward? "Shi Lei looked at Storm teasingly.
Storm quickly smiled apologetically, "Don't, Director Shi. What other rewards are there?"
The reward announced by Dream Entertainment was only three million USD. Could there be additional rewards? Storm guessed in his heart.
Shi Lei did not answer Storm. Instead, he used formal language and continued, "Contestant Dugu Qiye has won the honor of being number one in the world. The imperial court will reward him with an additional piece of Legendary equipment!"
A light screen appeared in front of Storm. It displayed more than ten pieces of Legendary equipment, including headscarves, rings, necklaces, and other rare ornaments.
"Ding!
Player Dugu Qiye, you have one minute to make your choice. If you do not make your choice within the allotted time, the system will automatically randomly select an item! "The main system's cold voice rang in Storm's ears.
Storm quickly browsed through the items on the light screen and finally chose a very special item!
Shi Lei stood to the side and looked at Storm's choice. He asked casually, "Storm, are you sure you want this?
It doesn't seem to be of any use to you, right? "
"Director Shi, I think you should know!" Storm chose a pair of light blue crystal earrings.

Sky Guard: Female Earrings
Rumor has it that this pair of earrings was forged with a special meteorite. It can allow the wearer to have a peaceful mind and will never be troubled by inner demons when practicing inner strength.
Special Effect: Meteorite has a special power. This pair of earrings has a strange power that can block and weaken long-range attacks.
— —
The Sky Guard Earrings' introduction was very simple and there was no specific digital explanation. It should be considered a Mystical Item Equipment.
The Sky Guardian Earrings could block and weaken long-range attacks. In other words, whether it was arrows, javelins, flying axes, or long-range hidden weapons like Flying Locust Stones, throwing knives, poison needles, or other long-range hidden weapons, the threat would be greatly reduced when they met the Sky Guardian Earrings.
However, this pair of earrings could only be worn by female characters. Storm was destined to not be able to wear it.
Shi Lei was still sighing at first, but on second thought, Shi Lei knew that this was a gift from Storm to the female non-player-controlled character!
'Damned Storm, don't tell me he really fell in love with that non-player-controlled character?' Shi Lei thought to himself.
After receiving the reward, Storm stood in the middle of the limestone arena under the main system's notification and waited for the other winners.
"Welcome the Heaven Leaderboard experts and candidates to the arena to receive your reward!" Shi Lei announced again. The so-called candidate was the fifth place Mu Feng.
There were originally only three Heaven Leaderboard experts. In other words, the second to fourth place were true Heaven Leaderboard experts. However, the second place was a non-player-controlled character, Qiao Mo. According to Dream Entertainment's official promise, Qiao Mo could only receive a ranking and a title, but not the prize money. The corresponding prize money was extended to the fifth place Mu Feng.
"Contestant Qiao Mo, congratulations on obtaining second place. The imperial court rewards you with the title of 'Heaven Leaderboard Expert', 10,000 taels of gold, and a piece of high-grade shackle-grade equipment!" Shi Lei looked at Qiao Mo and announced.
Although he had obtained second place, Qiao Mo couldn't hide his sadness. "Thank you, Sir Envoy!
Sir Envoy, may I know if I can sell my high-grade shackle-grade weapon? "
The Hero's World was established in the ancient history of the Xia Xia. Anything awarded by the imperial court could be called an imperial gift. Under normal circumstances, it wasn't allowed to be sold.
Shi Lei didn't check Qiao Mo's mission information. He guessed that Qiao Mo wanted to sell his high-grade shackle-grade weapon as a trigger for a mission, so he didn't stop him.
"Qiao Mo, anything awarded by the imperial court belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it!" Shi Lei responded to Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Sir Envoy!
Sir Envoy, may I borrow this opportunity to sell my high-grade shackle-grade weapon? "
He chose a high-grade shackle-grade longsword. In the Hero's World, non-player-controlled characters who practiced swordsmanship were a bit richer.
This was because a swordsman's appearance was a bit more elegant and was more popular with the young masters of wealthy families.
"Sure!" Shi Lei agreed again.
Qiao Mo immediately stood on the limestone stage and said loudly, "I'm selling the high-grade shackle-grade Dragon Moon Sword. If you need to buy it, contact me individually!"
After Qiao Mo finished speaking, he once again cupped his fists towards Shi Lei and then walked to the side of the storm to wait for the other winners.
There were only a total of thirteen people who were qualified to step onto the limestone stage to receive their prizes. The three extra people were because there were three non-player-controlled characters in the top ten, allowing them to take advantage of the situation.
After the awards ceremony, the main system randomly selected ten lucky audience members. Each lucky player received 88,888 copper coins as a reward. This reward was equivalent to the prize money for the top thousand players. They only needed to go to the black market and sell the copper coins in their hands.
Xia Xia, June 30th, 23: 57 PM.
In the Hero's World, the first Martial Arts World Championship Tournament came to a successful conclusion.
The Hero's World's main system announced that the Hero's World would be updated online. After the update, the Hero's World would be officially commercialized.
The official website of the World of Heroes had already explained the content of this update. It was mainly to increase the support for real-life currency purchases. However, using real-life currency to purchase items would not destroy the game's balance.
Even if Storm invested ten million USD, it would still be impossible for them to fight ten thousand enemies!
Normal players would not be unable to entertain themselves just because the rich players had invested a large amount of money into them.
On the contrary, ordinary players would have more opportunities to earn money because of the commercialization.
…
The first Martial Arts World Championship Tournament had ended, but the official players' forum had only just begun to bustle with activity!
Because most of the players had bet on Qiao Mo's victory in the official betting system, but Qiao Mo had lost to Storm, the official betting system had won a large amount of copper coins.
Of the more than 380 million copper coins bet, only less than 2 million had bet on Storm. Even after paying out the bets of the players who bet on Storm, the Hero's World's main system had received more than 360 million copper coins.
The number of registered players in the Hero's World had reached 18 million. After 360 million copper coins evaporated in the Hero's World, the amount of copper coins circulating in the market immediately decreased.
Without copper coins, players could not survive in the Hero's World. Players who wanted to do missions to earn copper coins had formed a long queue at the mission trigger points.
Missions that originally cost 40 copper coins per hour were forcefully reduced due to the large number of players who accepted them. The reward was only half of the original reward.
A large number of high-end players chose the official virtual item trading system and prepared to buy some copper coins.
However, the situation in the official virtual item trading system left them dumbfounded!
