Chapter 351: Chapter 258: 3rd Rank Mountain Master! 2nd Rank Military Leader! 1st Rank City Lord! Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Spares No Expense!_2
These three awards have clear standards, and as long as the conditions are met, they can be won together.
As for the ’Performance Award’, this is subjective. It is awarded by examiners appointed by the court to teams that perform outstandingly in the arena while spectating. The rewards are not many, at most up to the seventh tier, and are considered ’encouragement awards’. Whether it is given, and how much, depends entirely on the examiners’ mood.
"Three major awards and one minor award!"
"All extremely difficult to achieve."
"On the contrary, the ’Twelve Strong’, depending on individual performance, can at least receive the fifth tier reward, with a maximum of the second tier."
Ni Mengtong spoke with a dry mouth, introducing a series of awards.
Everyone listened intently.
However, what they were most concerned about was—
"From the first tier to the ninth tier, specifically what are the rewards?"
...
"This time the court spared no expense, the rewards are so generous it drives people crazy!"
When talking about the rewards, Ni Mengtong took a deep breath. She had just received the specific standards, and after seeing them, even she felt it was dazzling: "The detailed listing of each tier and each level is here, take a look for yourself."
Yan Chuan took it and directly flipped to the first-tier first-level. With one glance, his heart almost stopped—
Fu Yunzhan also saw it, and exclaimed: "This—"
"It’s too overwhelming!"
Wang Zhengyi was also shocked.
The others present, Chen Ze and Wang Ge, who were originally still honestly starting from the ninth tier ninth level, had just seen the ’1 jin Essence Stone, 1 bottle of Low Grade Qi-Blood Pill’ at the ninth tier ninth level, then seeing the reactions of Yan Chuan, Fu Yunzhan, and Wang Zhengyi, they immediately went to look at the highest rewards.
Upon seeing it, they were also astonished.
"First-tier first-level!"
"100,000 jin of Essence Stone, 1 bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, 10 bottles of Lianzang Pill, 100 bottles of Top-Grade Qi-Blood Pill, 1,000 bottles of Low Grade Qi-Blood Pill!"
"And——"
Su Ye’s voice trembled, in disbelief.
"There is also a King City!"
Zhong Hui swallowed, only feeling parched.
This reward!
It’s explosive!
The ’Marrow Cleansing Pill’, ’Lianzang Pill’, ’Qi-Blood Pill’ that came before were unheard of, let’s not talk about them.
Just the 100,000 jin of Essence Stone is already astonishing.
But the real explosive part is the final ’King City’!
Zhong Hui couldn’t believe it: "This ’King City’, is it the King City within the Mountain and Sea Realm? Is it the kind of scale of the six Great Royal Cities like Danhu, Hunxi in Guangling Territory?!"
"Yes."
Ni Mengtong nodded, addressing everyone: "Apart from Essence Stone and Elixirs, the most special part of the first-tier is the ’City’ reward. From first-tier ninth level to first-tier eighth level are various sized cities within the Mountain and Sea Realm. The first-tier first-level is genuinely a ’King City’ in scale!"
The Cang Mountain Sword Discussion reward breaks the sky!
This, beforehand, at the various state competitions, was a super reward that no one had imagined!
A city!
A King City!
If anyone has mingled or wandered in the Mountain and Sea Realm, no one would be unaware of what this represents.
Not to mention ’Danhu King City’, ’Hunxi King City’, even a subordinate small city under a King City like ’Nanxiong City’ has an astronomical annual output.
If you can secure the first-tier reward, can you really obtain a Mountain and Sea Realm city?
"This is too crazy!"
Wang Zhengyi’s heart beat wildly.
To become a City Lord or a Lord in the Mountain and Sea Realm?
This was a path he had never dreamed of, yet now it is righteously placed before him by the court.
Unfortunately——
"The first-tier is too difficult!"
"Even capturing a position among the ’Twelve Strong’, the highest reward received would only be the second tier."
"Only the ’Arena Master Award’, ’Consecutive Wins Award’, and ’Victory Award’ can reach the first tier, but the requirements for the first tier are almost impossible to achieve."
Yan Chuan quickly calmed down.
Everyone also realized, this ’first-tier’ reward is likely a pie-in-the-sky from the court—
Sights attainable!
Untouchable!
Even, looking further down to the second tier, third tier, achieving them is also exceedingly difficult.
"Second tier, 40,000 jin of Essence Stone, various Elixirs, additionally rewards an elite troop within the Mountain and Sea Realm, ranging from 800 to 8,000 people!"
"Third tier, 30,000 jin of Essence Stone, various Elixirs, additionally rewards a mine within the Mountain and Sea Realm, with reserves ranging from 100,000 jin to 1,000,000 jin of Essence Stone!"
First tier for City Lord!
Second tier for Military Leader!
Third tier for Mountain Master!
If you can obtain any of the top three tiers, you immediately become a local powerhouse, with resources piled up, and rise instantly.
This reward!
Too tempting!
But obtaining it, is far too difficult!
"Let’s not talk about the top three tiers, even just achieving the fifth tier, aside from the ’Twelve Strong’ safety net, the ’Arena Master Award’ requires defending the arena for at least twenty-two days, the ’Consecutive Wins Award’ requires 108 consecutive victories, and the ’Victory Award’ requires winning 360 matches."
Zhou Yan’s complexion looked slightly better, quickly calculating with her fingers.
Upon hearing this.
That’s it!
The difficulty of the fifth tier is already absurd, not to mention the first, second, or third tier.
At first glance, the court seemed generous.
Upon a second look, it’s all a pipe dream.
"Isn’t this just a tease?"
Zhou Hui felt like she was on a roller coaster, her emotions just lifted to the peak then kicked down, utterly disappointing.
Seeing this, Ni Mengtong smiled and said: "You can’t say that, maybe among the 246 teams, there’s an uncrowned champion who can defend the arena for forty-nine days, win 490 consecutive matches, capturing the top first-tier awards for ’Arena Master’ and ’Consecutive Wins’!"
This is of course a joke.
How could there be a team capable of defeating all 245 other teams twice each?
As for consecutively defending the arena for 49 days, that’s nothing short of a pipe dream.
In high-intensity arena battles, being able to hold it for a day already counts as a strong team.
Forty-nine days?
Don’t even think about it!
But one has to say——
"Arena Master Award!"
"Consecutive Wins Award!"
"Victory Award!"
"No matter which type of reward, countless fierce battles are inevitable, and countless victories can’t be separated."
"To impact the top three tiers, to become a Mountain Master, Military Leader, or even City Lord, one cannot slack off for a moment, from the first day of the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, one must actively participate, even ascending the arena on the first day to become an Arena Master. Only Arena Masters have the hope of fighting enough battles!"
"Too late to be an Arena Master, it’s too late!"
Yan Chuan admired the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ competition system and award design. The system is simple, but combined with several awards, it can stimulate the passion of all participants to the greatest extent.
The ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ spanning forty-nine days will probably be fiercely fought from the first day to the last day!
No dull moments throughout!
Worth anticipating!
...
"How to fight then?"
Wang Zhengyi looked at Yan Chuan.
Fu Yunzhan, Wang Ge, Chen Ze, and others also looked at Yan Chuan.
Among them, Yan Chuan had the strongest strength, the strongest background, and the Divine Skills they all practiced were derived from Yan Chuan, so naturally, they looked to him as the backbone.
Including the Zhou Family Sisters.
The two teams gathered together and, regarding the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ competition system and awards, they had to discuss and draft a plan in advance.
"Arena Master? Consecutive Wins? Victory?"
"Go up first? Go up later?"
Direction!
Timing!
These are crucial and will affect their final gains from this sword discussion.
And all this must be discussed and decided before the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ kicks off.
Yan Chuan first looked at the Zhou Family Sisters: "Zhou Yan just recovered, Zhou Hao is still in a coma. When Zhou Hao wakes up, your top priority is to practice the ’Five Elements Sword Formation’. When confident, you can try to challenge the arena, but stop after a little testing. With twelve arenas, each has three chances to challenge, you must seize them well, maximize the number of successful challenges, and also maximize your performance."
The ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ set up twelve arenas, each team has three challenges for each arena, totaling 36 challenges.
If they lose all, there will only be 36 battles, with only 36 chances to perform.
They would be out of the running for the three major awards.
Even the ’Performance Award’ would be precarious.
So——
"It is necessary to challenge when weaker teams are in the arena."
"Or take advantage of strong teams being exhausted after consecutive battles before challenging."
This is about taking cheap shots.
If successful, at least one can become an Arena Master, at least can fight one more match, and have one more opportunity to perform.
Moreover, after becoming an Arena Master, if other teams want to challenge, they must be drawn again. The drawn team can attack, and if the challenger is also a weaker team, they might even fight another match.
If lucky, and it’s always weaker teams, they might even achieve a few consecutive wins and get some low tier ’Consecutive Wins’ and ’Victory’ rewards.
"For us, luck is very important!"
This not only applies to the Zhou Family Sisters.
This is more or less the same strategy for Yan Chuan and his team.
However, compared to the Zhou Family Sisters, Yan Chuan also had a cunning plan for his own team—
...
