Chapter 169 - 167: Rewards of the Sect Grand Competition
"The rankings of this Sect Competition are as follows, the first place is held by the undefeated record-holder of the entire Sect Competition, Ye Zhen, who won all nine battles in the ranking competition, placing first with eighteen points!"
When Elder Zhong announced Ye Zhen’s first-place victory, the applause thundered throughout the venue.
Following Elder Zhong’s voice, the glow of the Heavenly List atop the Heaven and Earth Cliff shifted dramatically. Ye Zhen, who originally occupied the tenth spot, ascended directly to the top of the list, while the former number one, Qu Zhanqian, moved down to second place.
After the applause gradually subsided, Elder Zhong continued to announce the rankings.
"Second place, Qu Zhanqian, who won eight out of nine battles in the ranking competition, earned sixteen points and placed second!"
In contrast to the applause for Ye Zhen, the announcement of Qu Zhanqian’s ranking was met with no clapping but countless sighs of regret.
Qu Zhanqian, with his Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, already drew numerous criticisms for participating in the Sect Competition, and after being severely injured by Ye Zhen in the final battle, his prospects became uncertain, causing his popularity to plummet to rock bottom.
It seems that from now on, the title of ’Senior Brother Qu’ among the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples will disappear forever, and the new Senior Brother will be Ye Zhen!
"Third place, Gao Xinglie, who won seven out of nine battles in the ranking competition, accumulating fourteen points!"
There was applause, although somewhat sparse; after all, Ye Zhen had completely overshadowed everyone in this Sect Competition.
