Martial Heart Zen Seed, Sub-Sage Secret Art

Applause rose from the stands as well.

Though the winners were not from Shaluo City, though Shaluo City spectators made up the majority, any true martial artist had a scale in their heart and understood respect and appreciation.

The applause linked together, gradually swelling like thunder, while only Shuren Zhengxue Academy's formation of booing students hung their heads in disgrace, unable to lift them.

At this moment, the expert host took the stage.

The best thing about the style of this worldline was its decisiveness. What was said was what was done, without a moment's delay, and there were no shady dealings behind closed doors.

"Following deliberation by the organizing committee's review panel, I now announce on the spot that the champion team of this Nine Cities Zhengxue Martial Arts Tournament is the Tumubao First Main School Representative Team! And the Best in the Field individual is—" The expert host's voice rang through the entire venue. "Shi—Tiexin—!"

With a swish, Heavenly Golden Light descended, enveloping Shi Tiexin as he was tossed into the air, and enveloping every member of the team as well.

This was the champion team's reward.

This was the Best in the Field's reward.

There was so much of this Heavenly Gifted Golden Light, and it was so powerful—more than Shi Tiexin had ever seen or heard of.

Worthy indeed of the Nine Cities Derby, which came only once in many years; worthy indeed of a carnival for hundreds of millions; worthy indeed of the highest stage for Zhengxue students. Shi Tiexin watched helplessly as the certificates in the world system increased ten at a time.

Meanwhile, inside the martial arena's medical station, a beam of golden light likewise descended from the heavens, enveloping Shi Yuwei on her hospital bed.

There was a television in the ward.
