164: Duan Fengjun
At Dragon Tiger Plaza, amidst a clamor, staff members quickly cleaned up the venue and, in the blink of an eye, erected a high platform to serve as the awards stage!
Guided by the staff, the top one hundred participants stood on the stage.
Wang Xuan, Su Yueyao, and the others stood in the front row.
Wei Xuan stood in the foremost position, right next to Jing Jue, while the entire audience erupted in excitement!
Jing Jue held the microphone, his expression solemn.
"The top one hundred participants of the Dragon Tiger Hegemony Tournament will all receive High-Grade Spirit Stone rewards.
Furthermore, the Spirit Martial Academies across the regions will allocate next year's resources based on the ranking of their city's representatives.
Now, please welcome the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer to present the awards!"
Everyone immediately burst into an uproar!
The Libationer of the Heavenly Tiger Academy was a truly prominent figure in the nation!
Thousands of low-level academies and hundreds of higher universities nationwide all fell under the jurisdiction of the Seven Great Academies!
The Seven Great Academies had a long history and deeper foundations than ordinary Spirit Martial Universities; they represented the very Peak of Huaxia's Spirit Martial education!
Not to mention the Heavenly Tiger Academy, which was a top-tier academy on par with the Sacred Dragon Academy!
The strength and reputation of the other five academies were far inferior to these two.
Every year, countless people tried desperately to squeeze their way in, but those who succeeded were merely a drop in the ocean!
Every Dragon Tiger Hegemony Tournament had only ever had an instructor dispatched by one of the Seven Great Academies to present the awards; there had never been a history of a Libationer personally attending.
It was easy to imagine what kind of shock the appearance of the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer would cause.
Solemn music echoed throughout Dragon Tiger Plaza.
Everyone became serious and held their breath, looking toward the entrance.
Jing Jue also put away the relaxed smile on his face, his body involuntarily stiffening into a straight posture.
Wei Xuan, standing beside him, could sense that this was an unconscious action by Jing Jue; he was showing genuine, heartfelt reverence!
He also grew curious about what kind of person the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer actually was.
The hundred participants turned their heads curiously.
At this moment, tens of thousands of eyes looked toward the entrance of Dragon Tiger Plaza!
Gradually, a heavy set of footsteps sounded:
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
As if stepping on everyone's hearts, countless people stared intently.
Finally, a figure appeared from the entrance.
Soft light shone on his face, and everyone saw his features at that moment.
However, the next second, the entire venue instantly froze!
(〃 ﾟ A ﾟ) (´ ﾟ д ﾟ `) (꒪ Д ꒪)ノ Everyone gaped, staring blankly at the figure.
This was the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer?
He seemed a little different from what they had imagined!
Wei Xuan also looked stunned, muttering softly, "This Libationer is quite unique!"
Even Jing Jue looked completely bewildered!
They saw an old man at the entrance wrapped tightly in a green coat, holding a broom in his left hand and a dustpan in his right, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth!
He was definitely dressed like a cleaning attendant!
At this moment, the old man was also stunned.
He nervously looked around, a blush rising on his aged face, and quickly covered his face, chuckling as he ran away!
This revealed a middle-aged man standing behind him whose face was somewhat dark.
This man had a proper face, exuded an Aura of masculine fortitude, had dark skin, and his tall, straight figure gave people an immense sense of grandeur.
However, one of his eye sockets was bruised!
This person must surely be the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer!
He glared fiercely at the retreating cleaning attendant, then entered the venue with majestic strides.
At this, scattered applause and the laughter of many people broke out in the venue.
The Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer's face darkened even further!
His meticulously prepared entrance was completely ruined!
He stomped onto the stage almost aggressively, filled with a strong Aura!
Originally, this was a man who looked quite imposing, but that black eye socket really ruined the atmosphere!
Among the hundred participants, many were struggling to hold back their laughter, their faces turning red, their shoulders twitching!
Wei Xuan poked Jing Jue.
(´ ◔ ‸ ◔ `) σ (순 ″ 순) "Hey! Is this your academy's Libationer? His entrance was so unique!"
Jing Jue's mouth twitched.
"Although I don't know what happened, he is the one!"
As an instructor of the Heavenly Tiger Academy, he naturally knew this was the Libationer.
But as for that black eye, he had no idea what was going on!
Jing Jue stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Libationer, your eye..."
Duan Fengjun glared.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, two of his front teeth were missing!
Jing Jue nearly burst out laughing but quickly covered his mouth under Duan Fengjun's murderous gaze!
And so, a truly unique awards ceremony began!
Duan Fengjun, holding trophies and space rings, proceeded from left to right, presenting awards in sequence.
Every space ring contained High-Grade Spirit Stones!
Everyone who made it into the top one hundred received no less than one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, increasing progressively according to their rank.
The top ten started with at least a thousand pieces!
Duan Fengjun delivered encouraging words while handing out the trophies and rings.
That black eye and those missing teeth kept bobbing in front of every participant!
The expressions of the participants were truly colorful!
Trying not to look seemed inappropriate, but looking was just too damn funny!
As a result, everyone's face was flushed red from holding back, and a few young women were actually laughing until tears came out!
After this round was over, Duan Fengjun's face was incredibly dark.
Finally, it was Wei Xuan's turn.
Duan Fengjun let out a long sigh of relief!
He presented the champion's reward to Wei Xuan with a face full of smiles, but that bizarre appearance was truly unbearable for Wei Xuan!
Fortunately, seeing the ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones lying inside the ring made his mood exceptionally beautiful!
Duan Fengjun tightly grasped Wei Xuan's hand, smiling warmly.
"You are truly a young hero, Wei Xuan.
Congratulations on winning the championship of the Spirit Scholar Level division of the Dragon Tiger Hegemony Tournament!
As this year's champion, you also have a special reward."
Wei Xuan was startled.
He scratched his head and asked, "Oh? What reward?"
Duan Fengjun laughed heartily!
"An acceptance letter to the Heavenly Tiger Academy!
How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
Immediately, the surroundings fell silent!
The top hundred participants were even more dumbfounded!
There was a reward like this?
Why didn't I know?
At this moment, an angry roar came through!
"Duan Fengjun! Have you no shame?"
They saw a tall, burly man descend from the sky!
He had long brown hair casually draped over his shoulders, and his sharply defined features were enough to charm many middle-aged women!
However, his nose was still dripping blood!
As soon as he landed, he pointed at Duan Fengjun and started cursing loudly!
"We agreed just now!
Fair competition for everyone!
Why are you pulling this shameless stunt right off the bat?"
Everyone looked shocked!
Who was this person?
How dare he curse the Heavenly Tiger Academy Libationer like that?
Jing Jue's mouth twitched.
He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Libationer Bai!"
Instantly, Dragon Tiger Plaza became completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Many people's jaws dropped!
The Sacred Dragon Academy Libationer, Bai Wudao?
