3-1！
The score appeared on the big screen, signifying that Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had successfully ascended to the throne. This time, no one could stop us from ascending to the throne. Thanks to Beiming Xue, Lian Xin, He Yi and I, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had become the champion of the WEL in the China region!
Naturally, we didn't need to fight the final match, and we entered the finals with a perfect victory. The MVP title was definitely ours to claim.
The entire arena was in an uproar. The thunderous applause and cheers almost filled the entire central arena.
… …
He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue and Lian Xin hugged each other and cried. Women were always the most emotional in a moment like this, and tears were the only thing that could express their excitement and pride.
I hugged the Purple Ying Sword tightly and leaned against the railing. I looked up at the sky and couldn't contain my excitement.
Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng walked up to me at the same time. I exchanged a smile with each other before hugging each other's shoulders. This wasn't a victory for any one of us, it was a victory for all of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.
Slap slap!
Someone slapped me on the shoulder, and I turned around to see Chaos Moon jumping into my arms. She said with a smile, "Can you give me a hug while I'm at it?"
"You already gave me a hug, so why are you still talking about it …" I smiled speechlessly and let go of her a few seconds later.
High Fighting Spirits and Gui Guzi said almost at the same time, "If this is a celebration, why is Chaos Moon only hugging Lu Chen? Come on, come on, come on, there's still us …"
Chaos Moon immediately turned reserved and said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other …"
Gui Guzi and High Fighting Spirits roared in unison, "Get lost!"
Snowy Cathaya and Blazing Hot Lips burst into laughter.
It was at this moment the host, Fei 'er, finally walked up to the stage and said, "The moment of anticipation has finally arrived. The champion of the WEL China region has finally emerged, and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has lived up to everyone's expectations. Congratulations to Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, From Water, Beiming Xue, Lian Xing and Murong Mingyue for becoming the champion of the WEL China region!
At the same time, I would like to congratulate Soul Battle Robes for taking second place, Snowy Cathaya and Candle Dragon for taking third and fourth place respectively. Now, it's time for us to claim our rewards online. I'm sure most of you are looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises the WEL will bring us. Let's look forward to the birth of a divine weapon! "
Finally, it was time for the main event!
What was the point of everyone fighting with their lives on the line? It wasn't to vent their excess youthful energy, but to earn a lot of money and girls!
… …
Fei 'er announced the rewards for the 33rd to 64th place players. A maximum of 5 people could register to participate in the semifinals, and only 5 people could claim their rewards. As a result, 160 players appeared on the stage, and almost all of them were passersby. Not many of them knew each other, and their rewards were Level + 1, Luck + 1, and 5000 RMB as a consolation prize. It wasn't bad at all...
It was time for the 17th to 32nd place teams to claim their rewards. Level + 2, Luck + 1, and 20000 RMB as a consolation prize. All in all, it was a pretty good reward, and it was enough to cover half a year of a white-collar worker's annual income.
After that, the 9th to 16th place teams received their rewards. Level + 3, Luck + 2, 100000 RMB, and one chance to draw a lottery. Unfortunately for Blazing Hot Lips, Purple Lily and the rest, Stranger of Three Lifetimes, Luo River God of the Capital, and Moonkiss all drew Earth-grade items and looked speechless. The good news was that the level and Luck rewards were more or less enough to comfort the souls of those who died young.
Finally, the most exciting moment arrived. The 5th to 8th place teams, including Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Warsky Alliance, and so on, went up the stage to claim their rewards. Level + 3, Luck + 3, and 250k RMB as a consolation prize. The organizers were so generous that it made one's hair stand on end.
The highest reward was a Heaven-grade item. Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi both drew a decent Heaven-grade armor that had 25% better stats than normal equipment. This was why the tournament rewards were so unique. In fact, they were almost as good as Immortal-grade items. As for Chaos Moon, Farewell Song, Warsky, and the rest, they all drew an Earth-grade item.
Snowy Cathaya, Candle Dragon, and Snowy Cathaya looked like they were on bad terms with each other, and it looked like a fight was about to break out at any moment. The lucky draw this time was a lot more reliable than before. Lin Yixin got a 7-star Outstanding Heaven-grade cloak with stats that rivaled Immortal-grade equipment. Candle Dragon got a pet egg of an unknown name, and Purple Marquis got a new Heaven-grade sword with amazing stats.
Song of Cloud and Water, God Bone, Song of Ice and Fire, Ringwraith, and a magic knight went up the stage to claim their rewards. The reward for the runner-up was very generous. Level + 4, Luck + 4, and 500k RMB. What a windfall!

… …
Five high-level Immortal-grade items appeared on the big screen, and they were incredibly tempting. The value of these items alone was limitless. After this WEL competition, Soul Battle Robes would become even stronger than before. Moreover, Soul Battle Robes was a guild of Sky City, and no one knew what kind of big moves they were going to make in the near future. I couldn't help but worry a little.
Fei 'er picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Song of Cloud and Water, you're the leader of Soul Battle Robes, and you're already second place in your first WEL competition. Is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"
Song of Cloud and Water cleared her throat and said in a slightly childish voice, "Soul Battle Robes is going to shift their focus from Spirit of Grief to Heavenblessed. I just want to tell you that Soul Battle Robes is back, and we're going to make a name for ourselves in the world of Heavenblessed. My big brother, Seven-Star Lamp, has given us permission to do so, so please support Soul Battle Robes. Those who used to be fans of Soul Battle Robes are welcome to join us. Starting today, Soul Battle Robes will stand at the heart of Sky City and fight for the people of Sky City from all directions.
Song of Cloud and Water Fairy's speech wasn't perfect, but her last sentence was very inspiring. What a domineering girl!
Not far away from me, Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips and said, "Hmph hmph, Sky City sure is lively these days. Soul Battle Robes has joined the fray again. Interesting, interesting. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya still have a long way to go …"
I smiled. "That's nothing. We've seen all kinds of opponents before, so we can't afford to lose our composure. We have the unparalleled Dark Moon City in our hands, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Ladies, it's time to go up the stage and receive your rewards!"
He Yi and the other girls burst into giggles and followed me to the champion's path. I stepped on Rainbow and stopped in front of Fei 'er. Fei' er was almost 30 years old, but she didn't look much different from a 20-year-old girl. It was because of this that she had become an elder of the Eternal Moon Empire for three generations...
… …
The system automatically confirmed our identities. Very soon, the rewards arrived. Level + 5, Luck + 5. Just these two points alone were already generous enough. On top of that, there was also a reward of 2 million RMB each. This was the most practical reward. 2 million RMB was instantly transferred into my account. Awesome!
Swhoosh!
A screen appeared in front of us. It was the champion's lottery. Pictures of the rewards kept jumping on the screen. There were Immortal-grade equipment, pet eggs, skill books, and so on. Even with my eyesight, I could only see the grades of the items. There were 7-star Outstanding Archaic Immortal-grade items, and there were even Divine Weapons. Their golden luster was too bright, and I couldn't see their grades because they were too fast.
At the bottom of the screen was the ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. There was also a button that stopped jumping. It was the reward I wanted to choose.
I reached out my hand, and my heart was pounding so hard that it was going to drive me crazy. I pressed confirm, and blue ripples immediately appeared on the screen. The equipment wheel on the screen started to slow down. Metal armor, leg guards, skill books, and so on started jumping. I stared at a pair of fiery red wristguards that glowed with gold. It was a Divine Weapon, and its luster was too bright. It had to be a Divine Weapon!
"Stop!
Stop! "I screamed in my mind.
The wheel slowly came to a stop and landed one square in front of the Divine Weapon wristguards. My heart immediately turned cold. Just as I was feeling disheartened, the giant virtual wheel jumped another square!
"Fuck …" My heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to stop.
"Don't jump anymore. Damn it, the next block is a f * cking Earth-grade shield …" I wailed.
As if the heavens had heard my voice, the wheel stopped jumping. With a beep, my reward appeared on the screen — System Notice: Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has won the [Nine Heavens Li Fire Bracelet] (Cambrian Divine Weapon?
Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)!
It really was a 7-star Outstanding Divine Equipment! Overjoyed, I hurriedly opened my bag and saw that it was a bracelet-style wristguard. The wristguard was shrouded in golden light, and it was shrouded in divine energy. The stats of the wristguard were absolutely insane — [Nine Heavens Li Fire Bracelet] (Cambrian Divine Equipment?
