At the same time...
Ascension Alliance, Alliance Leader's Hall.
Dongfang Chuge looked at Gu Qingchen below and said, "Tell us. How did the second round turn out?"
The moment he said this, the assembled elders could not help looking over.
Of course, there were also some elders among them who had already received reports from their informants in advance.
But those who did not know what had happened outside still made up the majority.
It was not that they did not have informants, but that they simply did not care much about these things.
Although the Battle of Ascension City was a major competition held by the Ascension Alliance, to the elders of the alliance, in the end, it was only one small matter among many.
On top of that, there were dedicated personnel handling the handoff, so they cared even less.
Gu Qingchen took a deep breath, then said, "The results are out. This time, first place is a kid named Chen Wen."
"How is that possible!!!"
Gu Qingchen had barely finished speaking when a cold snort rang out.
Everyone instinctively looked over. The one who had spoken was Huang Fan, one of the Grand Elders.
Huang Fan was a disciple who had come from the Desolate Palace.
Only now, he was merely a Grand Elder of the Ascension Alliance.
Clearly, he had long since known of Huang Xiaochen's existence, and he was also confident that Huang Xiaochen would definitely seize first place.
That was why, when he heard that Chen Wen had obtained first place, his reaction was so intense.
And at this moment, every elder present was shocked by it as well.
Obviously, this result was completely unexpected to them.
If they remembered correctly, when Gu Qingchen first reported upward, he had mentioned the name Chen Wen.
