Explosive First Place Reward

Zhou Yuan heard the discussions around him and gave a bitter smile, shaking his head.

Although he didn't sympathize with the Qin Family, it was, after all, the Family his Revered Master belonged to.

Now that the Qin Family was being ridiculed like this, he must not be feeling good.

To be honest, the Qin Family being put in such an awkward position was somewhat related to him.

But if one really had to blame someone, it could only be Qin Yaoguang; who told him to target Zhou Yuan? Zhou Yuan was merely forced to retaliate.

"Bi Yuntao of the Bi Family, a fifth-order high-grade beast soul Talisman of wood attribute, passed!"

Just then, Lin Feng's voice rang out, and everyone's gaze fell on Bi Yuntao once more.

They hadn't expected that Bi Yuntao could actually refine a fifth-order high-grade beast soul Talisman!

On the Qiao family's side, mocking smiles appeared on their lips; the Qin Family had truly lost face completely this time.

As one of the six great Eight-Order Inscriptionist families, they failed to even pass the first elimination round of the Talisman competition, which would become a joke throughout the entire Saint Talisman Domain!

The Qiao family members all felt that the Qin Family's breaking off the engagement was an excellent decision; otherwise, their Qiao family would also be implicated at this moment.

"Elder Lin, Qiao Youqing of the Qiao family has completed her refining; please inspect it!"

"Qiao Youqing of the Qiao family, a fifth-order mid-grade beast soul Talisman of wood attribute, passed!"

Just then, Qiao Youqing successfully passed, causing the discussions that had just quieted down to become lively again!

"What right does the Qin Family have to break off the engagement with the Qiao family? Qiao Youqing is much more outstanding than that Qin Yaoguang!"

"The Qin Family is used to being high and mighty; they still think they are the original Qin Family. If it weren't for Elder Qin Chen's return, the Qin Family would be even worse!"

"After today, it's probably impossible for the Qin Family to form marriage alliances with other seventh-order Talisman Revered Master families!"

Hearing these discussions, the Qin Family members' faces turned ashen with anger.

If this weren't the biggest competition in the entire Saint Symbol City, they would surely have left in a huff, to avoid suffering this indignity!

Great Elder Qin Yanhe and Qin Baiqian turned to look at Qin Chen and Zhong Chengan, a hint of hatred flashing in their eyes.

Qin Chen's return had made these Elders and even the patriarch of the Qin Family targets of criticism from others!

It was false to say they didn't hate Qin Chen, but the Qin Family needed Qin Chen to serve as its facade, which was an unavoidable matter.

Qiao Youqing returned to the Qiao family, and the Qiao family immediately cheered, while people around them applauded.

The Qin Family was very close to the Qiao family, and the warm applause seemed like silent mockery towards the Qin Family.

The Qin Family disciples all hung their heads, and many couldn't help but show expressions of shame.

The competition continued, with people constantly succeeding, but even more failing.

Once someone failed, those around them suffered, causing many to cry out about unfairness.

But no one on the scene paid attention to these people; where in this world was there absolute fairness?

Being able to provide such a large venue, allowing everyone to collectively refine Talismans under the witness and supervision of all, was already the greatest fairness.

Strength and luck are inseparable; neither can be lacking!

Zhou Yuan also watched those people in the arena refining Talismans; although their Path of Talismans was not as good as his, some of their techniques had much to commend them.

Zhou Yuan watched them and learned a lot from these people!

As the last person failed in refining, this elimination round officially concluded!

The atmosphere on site was exceptionally enthusiastic, and everyone looked at Lin Feng in the air, waiting for him to announce the results.

Lin Feng didn't make everyone wait; his voice soon spread throughout the venue!

"Everyone, the elimination round on site just now was spectacular, and you were all witnesses. Now I will announce the results of the elimination round."

"There were a total of five hundred and twelve participants in this competition, and sixty-eight people passed!"

"This also means that these sixty-eight people will proceed to the next round of the finals!"

As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, the people on site cheered, all of them overjoyed.

The first elimination round was considered the appetizer for the entire Talisman competition; the more exciting part was yet to come!

Lin Feng pressed his hand down, and after the atmosphere on site had somewhat calmed, he spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, next I will announce the rewards and rules for the second round of the competition. First, let's talk about the rewards!"

"For individuals: the first place winner will receive one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones jointly provided by the six great Eight-Order Inscriptionist families."

"They will also receive one Eighth-Order Talisman of mid-grade Giant Wood Talisman provided by the Zhou Family, and a copy of Talisman refining insights provided by the Feng and Tan families!"

"Let me briefly explain these insights: they are all insights into refining Eighth-Order Talismans!"

As soon as Lin Feng's words came out, the entire venue instantly erupted; this reward was too generous!

One million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, an Eighth-Order Talisman of mid-grade Giant Wood Talisman, and Eighth-Order Talisman refining insights—each item was captivating!

Zhou Yuan's eyes instantly lit up, and a fighting spirit emerged within him.

Among these three items, what he valued most were the Eighth-Order Talisman refining insights. Although it wasn't some secret technique, it held the most significant meaning for him.

With this, even without guidance from a Eight-Order Inscriptionist in the future, he could grow on his own!

Zhou Jinming, Feng Youxin, Tan Liangliang, and others clearly heard about this reward for the first time, and their faces also showed excitement!

"The individual second place winner will receive eight hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and one seventh-order high-grade Flame Talisman!"

"The individual third place winner will receive six hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and one seventh-order mid-grade Sharp Metal Talisman!"

"The individual fourth place winner will receive four hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and one seventh-order low-grade Ice Talisman!"

"The individual fifth place winner will receive two hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"These are the individual rewards, only for the top five. As for the rest who enter the finals, each will receive ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones as a reward!"

Lin Feng finished announcing all the individual rewards in one breath, and everyone could tell by comparison how valuable the first place prize was!

With the announcement of this reward, those who had qualified for the finals all had their eyes shining, looking at others with full vigilance!

Everyone's fighting spirit was aroused, and their faces couldn't help but show anticipation.

"I, Zhou Jinming, will take first place!"

Zhou Jinming spoke domineeringly, his face showing a determined expression.

As soon as he spoke, someone immediately echoed: "As expected of the Zhou Family's Talisman Genius, confident and domineering!"

"Zhou Jinming, did you ask me, Feng Youxin, about that?"

Feng Youxin stepped forward directly, his face full of provocation.

Just then, Tan Liangliang also stepped forward, smiling as he said, "I'm also very interested in first place!"

Their words made the atmosphere on site even more enthusiastic, and everyone burst into laughter.

Saint Symbol City needed this kind of competitive atmosphere!

"Brother Zhou Yuan, they all want to compete for first place! Do you want to step forward too?"

Leng Qingxue spoke with a smile, a mischievous expression on her face.

The Qiao family members heard Leng Qingxue's words and couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuan!
