"I never expected participating in the international Martial Arts Tournament to award National War Points. And you can get 1,000 just for defeating one opponent. That's quite good, considering that many National War Points can be exchanged for ten Demon Domain Sets," Hei Bai Qi said with emotion.
"Ye Luo, what grade was your
