The exclamations of surprise were heard at once when one of the two finalists remained standing.
pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ Surprisingly, it was the girl, who remained standing and won the tournament, who was actually breathing deeply, trying to catch her breath.
"Wow!"
"Did our young miss really win?!"
"The big sister won!"
"This is unbelievable!"
The crowd went wild with joy and amazement as they watched the winner of the great tournament.
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows when he noticed the girl's victory.
The girl was in the King rank, while the young man was in the Emperor rank.
However, the girl seemed to have her inner strength more concentrated and powerful, unlike the man who had apparently increased his inner strength without having stabilized his power, advancing to the next rank but losing purity and strength from what it should really show at this time.
It was to be expected that the young man would have much chance of losing to a lower rank because of his instability in the inner force.
The cultivation was also similar, if one did not stabilize his cultivation correctly, it could affect the higher cultivation, even denying the increase when trying to enter the next realms.
Therefore, one needs time and understanding in increasing the stages in each realm, especially in the higher realms, where there must be a great deal of understanding at each step as one moves forward.
But also in the initial stages one must cultivate correctly and not drastically increase one's cultivation, so Ling Tian let everyone first become accustomed to cultivation without outside help, so that everyone can develop patience and not cultivate madly.
"There are really excellent young talents in poor families..." Long Cheng nodded complacently when he looked at the girl on the stage.
He had really overlooked that ordinary families could also be powerful if they had the resources available.
"The winner of this competition is the 1,154th participant, young woman Shan Qingwu!"
The announcement increased the shouts and euphoria of the audience, especially that of a small group of people who celebrated and shouted happily, standing out slightly from the crowd.
Not only did a young woman from a poor family win, but she was also very beautiful, instantly winning the love of several men who began to look at her closely.
Shan Qingwu took a deep breath as she tried to move her arms in victory towards her family.
All the few members of her family began to scream excitedly as they looked at her with big smiles.
She smiled triumphantly at her family, with a very happy smile.
But instantly, her face blushed when she remembered something.
Shan Qingwu turned her head nervously and directed her attention to the center box, looking at the people there.
She seemed to be looking at the Lord of the City at first sight, but everyone instantly realized that her attention was on the young man who had just arrived.
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows a little more when he noticed her glance, he did not know her, so he simply smiled at the girl, nodding satisfactorily at her for winning the tournament.
That woman could really be considered beautiful, it was just that the kind of clothes somewhat broken and her face somewhat dirty and full of sweat due to the fighting hid her immaculate beauty, making her look like a diamond hidden by the impurities on its surface. He would not be surprised if, behind all that facade, there resided the pure and natural beauty of a wonderfully beautiful woman.
At once, the penetrating gazes of the five women nearby pointed at him, causing Ling Tian to smile helplessly.
Shan Qingwu blushed completely when Ling Tian had smiled at her, feeling her heart beating incomparably as her entire complexion finally turned completely red, increasing the charm and beauty in her.
"She really is so beautiful..."
"Gosh! Apart from the Goddesses of the City, there is another very beautiful woman who made me suddenly fall in love with her!"
"Why have we never seen her before?!"
"Is she from the Shan family? I'll have to pay attention to them then."
"To think there was such a beautiful woman hiding!"
"If she wore more beautiful clothes, I think she could even become one of the most beautiful women in Star City!"
"Could she also become another Goddess?"
"The Sixth Goddess?!"
The men began to express themselves aloud when they saw that Shan Qingwu cleaned the traces of dirt from her face, bringing out some of her natural beauty to others.
Shan Qingwu also had an excellent body, somewhat slim but toned as well, the result of having trained for a long time, striving to become very strong.
"The awards will be given to the first places!
Please let the previous participants come in to get their rewards too!"
The middle-aged man announced aloud, causing two other men to enter the platform at once.
Long Cheng stood up and positioned himself on the edge of the box, where everyone could see him.
"Congratulations to all of you who showed amazing and wonderful results!
You will be the generation that will lead the martial artists and you will also be the main support of the whole Star City against the demonic beasts!
It will be up to you that the new generations can live peacefully, have a place to live and be able to continue training to increase their strength and fight the demonic beasts until we exterminate them all!
Perhaps you are now in the middle of the way in the ancient martial arts, but we will make sure to nurture you and turn you into powerful martial artists, helping you to reach the Legend rank!
Even among you there may be some who achieve the legendary and ancient Divine rank!"
Long Cheng's final speech stirred up the spirit of the martial artists by reminding them of the fights against the demonic beasts, making the whole stadium fill up with shouts of excitement, wanting to fight and finish the endless fights against the demonic hordes.
When the Lord of the City mentioned the legendary Divine rank, people gasped for cold air, remembering that for a long, long time there were records about the Divine rank, a rank much more powerful than the Legend rank.
But, remembering that there were even 'Gods' who fought in the Star City and punished the Ming and Ze families, the people became confident, arguing that they should be able to attain the Divine rank again, and more, with the help of the powerful spirit elixirs.
Shan Qingwu received the rewards for obtaining the first place in the tournament, while her opponent had a sombre and shamed face for having lost to a woman and obtaining the second place.
The other two men consequently won third and fourth places.
The rewards were several weapons of very good material, a lot of money and, above all, several porcelain bottles containing the famous spirit elixirs!
Now, because Shan Qingwu won first place, her Shan family could increase their status by obtaining reward money, as well as increasing the rank of the few martial artists in the family.
"Lord of the City!"
A yell clearly filled with hatred and anger was heard when they finished delivering the rewards to the first places.
Everyone turned to see who had yelled, noting a group of young men who were spectators and some who had participated today.
More and more young men began to gather in the group, as they watched the main box.
"What's the matter?" Long Cheng furrowed his brow and nodded to the young man who appeared to be the leader of the group. He thought he would not agree with the results of the competition.
The young man showed a furious, angry, and upset expression, as if something valuable had been taken away from him when he raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the central stadium box, precisely to one side of Long Cheng.
"Who is that guy over there?!"
