I looked up at the person who declared the victory. It was none other than the city lord himself.
“I won. Finally. Thank god for that.” I took a huge breath.
“Wait, what?”
The crowd was deafening. They could not take it anymore. Who would have thought that I would be the one to win? The Cai and the Bai family’s were just too powerful. Even my own family wanted me to get the third place and nothing more.
I looked at my father. He did not know whether to cry or to laugh. On one side, I won the martial gathering. But on another, this was going to get dangerous for me. Everyone in the city would know that I was a force that existed, and that would make my life that much harder.
The dust settled. I looked at the judge who had fallen into a crater. This was the first time that I used this attack with full throttle, and this was a result that I certainly did not expect.
Cough! Cough!
“Kid! You are really powerful. I did not expect to be taken down by an attack by a mere Foundation Establishment stage brat. It looks like you are more than what I expected to be. I am truly impressed. Without a doubt, if I had not taken than attack, then this lady here would have gone straight to the yellow river.” the judge said as he got off the crater of his own creation.
Cai Lien was right next to him, and she looked at this with a blank face. She probably could not comprehend what was going on right now. After Bai Zhiqui quit, she probably thought that she was guaranteed the victory. She did not expect another result, especially from the one that was supposed to be the weakest of all.
“What happened? I lost? How is this possible?” she muttered.
I had no intention of caring about her. I was overjoyed as I looked at the blue box that displayed itself in front of me.
“Story Quest Mission complete. Won the martial gathering. Reward will be distributed.” the system said.
I could see a roulette wheel in front of me. It started spinning on its own this time. I could see the rewards. I was psyched. Every single one of them was just stuff out of the legends. I did not even dream of getting this stuff.
Ding!
“Host has acquired weapon – Ethereal Weapon. Properties – Strength + 5, Stamina + 3, Agility +5.
Description –
The ethereal weapon is the most suitable weapon for the Ethereal Weapon Arts, and it will be able to transform itself into any weapon of choice on circumstance. It is an Epic Ranked weapon, and it equal to ??? rank in cultivation standards.”
“This is probably higher ranked than even the heaven ranked weapons. I should just put this inside and use it just when I need to. Treasures like this will attract even more trouble than the gains that I get.” I said to myself.
“The Ethereal Weapon is in the spatial ring.” the system said.
“How convenient.” I smiled.
I got down and ring and walked towards the space reserved for the Liu Family. Except for my father, Liu Kun, and Liu Xin, everyone else was beaming.
“You won, Feng’er! This is good. You did a good job. You really improved at an extraordinary pace. You brought pride to the Liu Family. We must celebrate today!” Liu Hong lifted me up and embraced me.
I tried to resist, but his grip was just too strong. I had to let myself be harassed for a few moments. After he put me down, I looked at my father. He looked at me with a complicated face.
“You won. I did not expect you to win. I thought that you would lose. Who would have thought that you would turn things around like this. You really are special, aren’t you?” he chuckled.
I nodded as I turned around to see what was going on at the stage.
“When am I going to get my rewards? The five days in the Spirit Jade Pool are very tempting. I need to get there fast. I also need to go to the sect later right?” I asked out loud.
“You are very impatient. You need to wait for the city lord to tell you that. It will probably be after this crowd settles down. Every one is eager to see the ending and you being crowned the winner.” my father said.
“What are they going to do? Give me a medal?” I chuckled.
“They are going to give you a jade token signifying your win. This is a representative of the stature that you have won. Now, just wait for a while. Your last move made quite the mess. I have to ask, how the hell did you have such a trump card like that? Who gave it to you? I am asking you this with utter seriousness.” he asked.
“I keep telling you. A mysterious master gave it to me.” I bit my tongue as I said this.
He shook his head as he looked away. I looked at the ring again. There were people on it, trying to fill up the huge whole that was made. I glanced at the space of the Martial Tiger Dojo. They were the true winners of today. The Liu Family needed the win, and they got it. But no one expected the Martial Tiger Dojo to get a place in the final three.
Du Xiangling locked eyes with me. His eyes were gleaming.
“Knowing someone like him, he probably wants to fight me once he gets stronger,” I muttered. “Well then. Isn’t it time to show off my victory to the people who hate me so much. I have to do at least this much for Liu Feng.” I smiled as I headed over to the Cai Family’s area.
