Chapter 494: Chapter 328: Sword Discussion Concludes, Rewarding Merits! [Volume 2 ’Sword Discussion’ Completed!]_4
Speaking of unexpected outcomes, Ma Hongniang was one.
She was ranked eighty-first on the "Chufeng List", not at the forefront. In the early and middle stages of the Sword Discussion, she relied on the third-Rank Treasure ’White Bone Banner’ to shine, but her actual strength was not recognized.
After the ’Forbidden Treasure, Absolute Weapons’ of Si Qi, Ma Hongniang was initially greatly weakened, and it was thought she would remain downcast after the setback.
But unexpectedly, in the fifth of the seven, not fearing the ’Evil Qi’, Ma Hongniang fought more and more courageously, managing to hold onto an arena for a long time thereafter.
Ultimately, she unexpectedly and yet not unexpectedly became one of the ’Twelve Strong’, with at least a minimum Fifth Tier reward as a safety net.
Additionally.
Initially a hot favorite, Ying Jifeng, who even ascended upstream to reach the Absolute level in the seventh phase, becoming the eighth absolute character of this Sword Discussion, regretfully was not chosen.
Not just him.
Also "Chufeng" seventh-ranked Ying He.
This brother and sister duo erupted in an earth-shattering scandal, leaving the event and disappearing without a trace.
Success due to Chen Ze.
Defeat also due to Chen Ze.
If it weren’t for Chen Ze’s strong Dao validation that stimulated Ying He, Ying He wouldn’t have been invaded by Demon Barriers to utter nonsense.
But on the other hand, if it weren’t for Chen Ze’s Dao validation attracting more attention, which diverted more topics from Ying Jifeng and Ying He, Chess Stone Peak would have been filled with discussions about these two at this moment.
Of course.
No matter what.
This brother and sister duo is considered ruined.
The royal family must surely not go back.
The Great Yan may also not be a place they can stay.
The Mountain and Sea Realm might be their future home.
At this moment.
Temporarily, no one is paying attention to the Ying Jifeng and Ying He siblings.
Even the voices discussing Chen Ze have quieted down considerably.
The Sword Discussion is over!
Everyone is waiting for the final verdict, waiting for their respective awards.
On the Hai Character Arena.
Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan spent seven days in a daze, somehow winning by default, and inexplicably found out that Chen Ze validated the Dao.
The two are exhausted!
The two are muddled!
The two are pleasantly surprised!
Overjoyed!
At this time, although tired, they are mentally excited, waiting for the final award ceremony.
On the side.
Wang Zhengyi fought continuously for forty-nine days, he is also tired, but equally excited, counting on his fingers.
The Arena Master Award does not need to be counted.
He is counting ’Consecutive Wins’, and ’Victories’—
"Master Yan!"
Wang Zhengyi counts painstakingly, Zhong Hui brings Yan Chuan the attack and defense records of the forty-nine days of the arena, which precisely record how many matches they fought on the Hai Character Arena during the entire Sword Discussion, how many ended in a draw, and how many times they defeated opponents to make them concede and count as one ’Victory’.
"Forty-nine days."
"Starting from Si hour on the first day, a total of 583 hours."
"At most, three matches can be fought per hour, theoretically, a maximum of 1749 matches can be fought."
"But we only fought 998 matches."
"Draws are counted as successfully defending the arena, but not as victories, consecutive wins are interrupted."
"998 matches—"
Yan Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Seven hundred and seventy-eight!"
Wang Zhengyi shouted incredulously, doubtful: "A total of seven hundred and seventy-eight Victories! Do the math! Quickly do the math! Is it right!"
Seven hundred and seventy-eight Victories!
If converted, it should be the Second Tier Second Level reward, thirty thousand jin of Essence Stones, and a mine with nearly a million jin of Essence Stones?
"Did I count wrong?"
Wang Zhengyi asked nervously.
Do they actually have so many Victories?
Just a bit more would reach the Second Tier?
Isn’t that too much?
"Not too much!"
"But also not right."
Yan Chuan flips through Zhong Hui’s records, couldn’t help but grin, he pat-pats the paper in his hand, takes a deep breath: "Seven hundred and ninety-seven!"
He looked at Wang Zhengyi, grinningly said: "Old Wang, you were dazed during the seven of the seven for a long time, you counted a dozen fewer wins."
Seven hundred and ninety-seven!
Second Tier Ninth Level!
"Victory Award!"
"Unexpectedly also enough to reach the edge of the Second Tier?"
Wang Zhengyi’s eyes widened, thrilled.
...
"Zi Character Arena Master!"
"Ma Hongniang Team!"
"Ranked among the ’Twelve Strong’, team leader Ma Hongniang relied on the third-Rank Treasure ’White Bone Banner’ in the early stage, which brought her considerable fame. Her middle-stage performance was not great, but she made a comeback in the late stage, sweeping the arena. Her overall rating is Third Tier First Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (30,000 jin), and a mine (1 million jin reserves)."
"Two hundred thirty-three wins, seventh-tier Sixth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (400 jin), High Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
"Defended the arena for eighteen days, accumulated eighteen points, Sixth Rank Sixth Class, rewarded with Essence Stones (4,000 jin), Top-Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
...
"Chou Character Arena Master!"
"Luo Qi’s Team!"
"Ranked among the ’Twelve Strong’, team leader Luo Qi showed strong performance in the early stage, mastering ’Jade Ring Twelve Demon-Slaying Swords’ with solid foundation. He returned with the third-Rank Treasure ’Ancient Sound of the Primordial World’, impressing with his musical skills. Although his late-stage performance was slightly weak, overall, it remained potent. His overall rating is Fourth Tier First Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (20,000 jin), Marrow Cleansing Pill (12 pellets)."
"One hundred ninety-five wins, seventh-tier Ninth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (100 jin), High Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
"Defended the arena for twelve days, accumulated twelve points, seventh-tier Fifth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (400 jin), High Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
...
"Yin Character Arena Master!"
"Ban Xianfu Team!"
"Ranked among the ’Twelve Strong’, team leader Ban Xianfu was invincible in the early stages, with ’Avici Saber Technique’ being the first to reach Absolute status, having nearly no defeats. Yet, in the fourth and sixth stage he showed weaker performance, relying heavily on saber skills for his Absolute strength, which was too destructive and easy to fall into Demon Barrier, a clear shortcoming. His overall rating is Second Tier Ninth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (40,000 jin), army (800 people)."
"Two hundred thirty-three wins, seventh-tier Sixth Level, rewarded with Essence Stones (400 jin), High Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
"Defended the arena for eighteen days, accumulated eighteen points, Sixth Rank Sixth Class, rewarded with Essence Stones (4,000 jin), Top-Grade Qi Blood Pill (1 bottle)."
