Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms
Chapter 908 - All Goes to Bei Xuan Faction"Alright! Chen Xiaobei is now the champion since Tai Yitan decides to yield to him! Tai Yitan will be placed second!"
Yue Changkong then paused for a while and said, "As for the third place…"
500 Spiritual Stones was no small amount of fortune. Yue Changkong was planning to postpone the fight between third and fourth—hoping that Yue Junmo could regain consciousness and claim the third place.
"Do you really need to think about who should claim the third place? From the beginning of the competition, those that suffer serious injuries will lose their right to continue to fight in the competition! Phantom Rain is no exception! In other words, Huo Yuanba has earned the right to claim the third place!"
Suddenly, Wu Aofeng shouted while he was standing amongst the crowd.
"He is right! Phantom Rain is unconscious right now! That is equivalent to being disqualified! The third place should go to Huo Yuanba!"
"That's right! A shameless person like Phantom Rain doesn't deserve to be listed on the leaderboard!"
"Phantom Rain, get lost please! Huo Yuanba should be given the third place! Huo Yuanba should be given the third place!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe crowd started to shout together with Wu Aofeng.
Firstly, the thing that Wu Aofeng just said actually made perfect sense! There were winners being forced to quit the competition due to their severe injuries after every elimination round.
Secondly, Yue Junmo's shameless behavior had managed to disgust the audience. Naturally, everyone would side with Huo Yuanba. With that being said, the burden once again fell on Yue Changkong's shoulders. Though he really wanted to let Yue Junmo fight for the third place, he could no longer do whatever he wanted this time.
One should know that Phantom Rain was actually Yue Junmo. Before the start of the competition, he put on a mask to conceal his identity. By doing so, Mount Hua Faction wished to reclaim all 3,000 Spiritual Stones that they sponsored as a reward for the martial arts competition. With that being said, Mount Hua Faction had just tricked every single contestant and audience. If Phantom Rain's true identity was revealed, all the contestants would definitely refuse to join Mount Hua Faction. And at the same time, the crowd would burst in rage as well.
By that time, all the good reputation that Mount Hua Faction built up would be in vain. And there's a high possibility that all the talented disciples that they recruited recently would join Green Town Faction. Knowing the risk, Yue Changkong knew that it was best to announce that Huo Yuanba would be given third place to satisfy everyone's wish. This could show that Mount Hua Faction had a big heart. Naturally, all the contestants would ask to join Mount Hua Faction voluntarily.
He was thinking to wait for Chen Xiaobei, Tai Yitan, Huo Yuanba, and Wu Aofeng to join the faction first. After that, he would figure out a way to extract all the Spiritual Stones from them.
"Everyone! Calm down, please! The things that all of you said make perfect sense to me! I now announce that Phantom Rain has just lost his rights to continue to fight in this competition due to the severe injuries on him! With that being said, Huo Yuanba will be granted the third place!"
"Great! I know Faction Leader Yue has always been a wise man! Mount Hua Faction definitely have a big heart! Nice…"
The crowd was cheering. However, none of them knew that Yue Changkong was actually plotting something evil in his mind.
"Faction Leader Yue! Wise move! You manage to capture everyone's heart by giving up all the Spiritual Stones! It seems like I won't be able to recruit all those talented contestants!" said Su Dongruo with his eyes squinted.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
"Someone! Please bring the rewards for the winners!" shouted Yue Changkong with a smile while swinging his hand.
Immediately, a group of Mount Hua Faction's disciples carried boxes of Spiritual Stones to the center of the stage. In every box, there were 500 Spiritual Stones! Without the cover, every single glittery and translucent Spiritual Stones was presented in front of everyone.
A box of it was placed in front of Huo Yuanba.
Three boxes of it were placed in front of Tai Yitan.
Lastly, six boxes of it were placed in front of Chen Xiaobei.
In total, there were 5,000 Spiritual Stones being placed in front of them—reflecting the sunlight and formed a rainbow! Tens of thousands of audiences were staring at the stage, awestruck. None of them had ever seen 5,000 Spiritual Stones being put together in one place. That was why they were so shocked when they saw it happened right before their eyes.
At the same time, Tai Yitan, Huo Yuanba, Wu Aofeng, and even Luo Puti felt really good about it. A whopping 5,000 Spiritual Stones now belonged to Bei Xuan Faction! And this was the exact result that Chen Xiaobei wanted. As for Tai Yitan, Huo Yuanba, and Wu Aofeng, they were blessed by Chen Xiaobei all these while. Knowing that they had played a part in helping Chen Xiaobei to achieve his goal, they felt really happy and satisfied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for Luo Puti, she did not know that actually all 5,000 Spiritual Stones belonged to Chen Xiaobei. To her knowledge, Chen Xiaobei had only been rewarded with 3,000 Spiritual Stones. Still, it was an astronomical amount to her. Truly, she was happy for him.
"Everyone! Silence please! All the rewards had been distributed to all the winners! Coming to an end, I'm going to announce the winners one more time! First place goes to Chen Xiaobei! He is awarded 3,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"Second place goes to Tai Yitan! He is rewarded with 1,500 Spiritual Stones! Third place goes to Huo Yuanba! He is rewarded with 500 Spiritual Stones! Lastly, the fourth place goes to Wu Aofeng. He will be rewarded with a high-tier martial arts manual!" announced Yue Changkong.
After saying so many things, the thing that he wanted to emphasize was all the rewards were actually given by Mount Hua Faction. Even an idiot would know what he was trying to do.
"Everything is not set in stone and the rewards are distributed to the winners as well! Next, as the faction leader of Mount Hua Faction, I would like to invite all four winners to join my faction!"
Upon hearing that, the crowd started to grow restless.
"It seems like the rumor is true! Mount Hua Faction is using the reward to attract talented elites to join their faction!"
"Damn! They must be really happy! Not only they are rewarded with Spiritual Stones but they are also invited to join the ancient faction! I don't think we will ever receive chances like this!"
"Damn straight! Mount Hua Faction is not an ordinary ancient faction! They are an above average ancient faction! And they have been around a very long time! That would mean the resources that they possess are beyond our imagination! I would die of happiness if I'm given an opportunity to join them!"
"I'm so damn jealous of them! Their futures will shine bright like a diamond the moment they agree to join Mount Hua Faction! I'm pretty sure they will definitely become someone extremely powerful in the future! People like us can only see them as our idols!"
After hearing all the comments from the crowd, Yue Changkong was extremely proud of the decision that he made.
Seconds later, everyone including Yue Changkong was left in shock.
"I'm sorry. I don't plan to join Mount Hua Faction!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and shrugged.
