Finals start

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said, "They're just playing house. As elders, how can we engage in such a verbal spat with them?"

"When the competition starts later, just let them see my methods properly."

"Children need to be disciplined severely, otherwise they won't be obedient!"

As soon as Zhou Yuan's words came out, everyone on the Qiao family's side was petrified.

"Pfft!"

Leng Qingxue and Qiao Youqing both couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Zhou Yuan's words were too damaging; he actually treated these people as children, while he himself was an elder.

Clearly, among those competing on the scene, Zhou Yuan was definitely the youngest, yet he spoke with an air of old age!

Qiao Songzi burst into hearty laughter; he was truly amused. If these words got out, Zhou Jinming and the others would surely be hopping mad!

"Brother Zhou Yuan, you're too naughty!"

Leng Qingxue laughed so hard that her body swayed like a willow branch, her usual aloofness completely gone.

Zhou Heavenly King, who had been intently watching Leng Qingxue, saw this scene, and the greed in his eyes intensified!

Zhou Heavenly King discovered that Leng Qingxue's beauty surpassed any woman around him; she was absolutely a peerless beauty.

He was a favored son of heaven, and only he was worthy of possessing such a woman.

He lightly licked his lips with his tongue, knowing that in a moment he could take this woman away. His heart was burning with desire!

Zhou Yuan's voice wasn't loud, so it didn't spread. Apart from the Qiao family, no one else heard it.

Just then, Stone Valley Wind returned, his face full of joy.

Before Zhou Yuan could even ask, Stone Valley Wind said with a smile, "Young Master, we've struck it rich! They just stopped taking bets, and we have a total of 51 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

After speaking, Stone Valley Wind handed Zhou Yuan several Storage Rings!

There were too many spirit stones; several Storage Rings were completely full!

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he took the Storage Rings. His heart was truly blooming with joy.

This was absolutely a no-capital, high-profit business. He himself hadn't expected to gain so many Spirit Stones.

Zhou Yuan called Zi Ying over and whispered to both of them, "There will be a major change today, but I don't know the exact time. You two stay by Qingxue's side and don't leave!"

Upon hearing this, both of them instantly looked solemn and nodded quickly.

Stone Valley Wind hesitated for a moment, then said, "Young Master, the Qiao family are good people. If possible, I hope you can help them!"

Qiao Songzi transmitted his voice to Zhou Yuan, so no one else heard it except Zhou Yuan!

Zhou Yuan calculated that the Void Compass should still be able to hold nearly thirty people.

He couldn't help but transmit his voice, "Stone Valley Wind, secretly tell Qiao Songzi about this. I can only give him about twenty spots!"

"The Void Compass can only hold that many people; I can't do anything if there are more!"

Upon hearing this, Stone Valley Wind nodded quickly, expressed his thanks to Zhou Yuan, and then went to communicate with Qiao Songzi.

Just then, Lin Feng spoke again, "Everyone, next up are the Family rewards!"

"This time's Family reward is the same as before; only the Family that takes first place will be rewarded!"

"This reward consists of the mines provided by the six Eighth-Order Talisman families, one mine per Family, for a total of six mines!"

"The value of these mines is all above 15 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the six mines are estimated to sell for 100 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

As soon as Lin Feng's words came out, the entire grand plaza instantly erupted.

What was the concept of 100 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones? It could probably pile up into a large mountain.

Thinking of this, stars couldn't help but appear in everyone's eyes.

"Of course, if the Family that wins first place is unwilling to accept these mines, they can directly convert them into Spirit Stones, with each mine converted at 15 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"The exchange will be made on the spot after the competition!"

Lin Feng explained again, and the people in the plaza were once again shocked, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

"Everyone, next I will announce the competition rules. There is only one rule for this competition!"

"All participants can perform as they wish, without any restrictions. The final judgment will be based on the grade of the Talisman!"

"However, there is one restriction: the Talisman this time cannot be a single Talisman; it needs to be a Fusion of two or more elements."

"For example, Metal-Wood Talismans, Lightning-Fire Talismans, and so on!"

"Moreover, it must not be a single Talisman; it must be a combination of a Talisman and a spell!"

"The time limit is one hour. Failure is allowed, as long as it is completed within the time limit!"

With Lin Feng's announcement of this rule, many of the more than sixty people who had qualified instantly wailed.

This kind of combined Talisman was the most difficult to draw. There were too many things to consider, as the Fusion of different attributes was very dangerous.

Fortunately, failure was allowed, otherwise they might not even dare to try!

Zhou Jinming, Tan Liangliang, Feng Youxin, and others exchanged glances, their expressions solemn. This was very difficult.

However, fortunately, it was free play, which gave them more room for maneuver.

After listening to the competition rules, Zhou Yuan's expression was as calm as still water. He had been refining Talismans of different attributes many years ago!

For him, this was simply too easy.

He was currently considering whether to fuse three different attributes, but he hadn't started trying yet.

At this moment, Qiao Songzi was looking at Stone Valley Wind with a surprised expression, his face showing disbelief.

Although Stone Valley Wind was his close friend, this matter was too significant, and he truly couldn't make up his mind immediately.

"Brother Shi, do you think this is true?"

Qiao Songzi spoke, his expression unusually serious!

Stone Valley Wind's expression was solemn, and he nodded cautiously, then said, "Brother Qiao, as the saying goes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it!"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who talks carelessly?"

"I was also guided by a Senior, which is why I came to see Young Master Zhou!"

"You also know that I don't like to get involved in the disputes of your families, but when you came to me last time, I didn't hesitate at all, and that's why!"

"I suggest you immediately arrange for someone to put away all the important things of the Qiao family. What if it's true?"

Although Qiao Songzi still couldn't accept it, what Stone Valley Wind said made sense, and he slowly nodded!

"Below, all participants in the finals can enter and choose their respective positions!"

Lin Feng's words rang out again, spreading throughout the surroundings.

Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded to Leng Qingxue, then his body swayed, instantly appearing at the original Talisman refining place.

To his left and right were still Zhou Jinming and Zhao Yilong, but this time, both of them were much further away from Zhou Yuan.

The venue, which originally accommodated more than five hundred people, now only needed to accommodate more than sixty people, so it was naturally extremely spacious.

It was equivalent to the original space for eight people now given to one person, which greatly reduced interference!

The entire grand plaza became quiet again as the finals began!
