Two days later, the Treasure of the Gods event officially begins!
The Skalig City is filled with the rousing music of pirates, and Viking-style decorations are everywhere!
On the street, you can see all kinds of outfits.
Classic Viking pirates, Witcher carrying twin swords, witches draped in cloaks, and more.
Many shops have huge beer barrels displayed in front of them!
Skalig City welcomed its grandest and most enthusiastic event amidst the snowstorm.
The cold weather cannot dampen people's enthusiasm; rather, it is the wind and snow that inspire their emotions.
The most lively place was a fighting arena.
A dense crowd surrounded the arena, their expressions excited, shouting from time to time.
Welcome to the official event of the Treasure of the Gods – Viking War Cry!!!
"Whoa whoa whoa!!"
A burly man, about 1.9 meters tall, wore a cowhide slung over his shoulders, a cow-horned helmet, and a microphone shaped like a battle axe.
"Junyi, Junyi! It's about to start!" Wan Qingyun tugged at Jiang Junyi's sleeve in the crowd, her pretty face full of excitement.
"Yes, the festive atmosphere is already exceptionally strong." Jiang Junyi patted Wan Qingyun's head.
"I have now received countless applications from brave warriors! They will stand here and shout out their most fervent words with their lives!"
"Excuse me, but please allow me to ask one more question: are your earplugs ready?!"
The host took out his earplugs and grinned.
"I can't just listen to these young men shouting like that."
He pointed to his ear. "Everyone, please take care to protect your ears!"
The audience burst into laughter.
"Then, without further ado! The Viking War Cry preliminary rounds are about to begin!"
The host announced loudly, and the audience erupted in excitement.
"Please welcome the first one! Jack!"
A thin young man walked onto the stage.
The host raised an eyebrow and asked, "Jack! What made you step into this ring?"
Jack scratched his head. "I want to... challenge myself..."
"Wait, good idea! Now, let's see your courage!"
The host led Jack to the center of the ring, where the decibel meter was already set up.
"Within five seconds, your loudest volume will be detected by the decibel meter. Please begin your performance!"
Jack took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening:
"I want to tell my mom..."
"I... am not a coward—!"
A tremendous force burst forth from his slender body, and the numbers on the decibel meter kept jumping!
The final value was 95dB.
"Excellent! You're a great young man. Now, please wait here!" The host's eyes shone with admiration.
The preliminary rounds were in full swing, and Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun laughed from time to time in the audience.
Some of the contestants' quotes were simply too abstract.
For example, a filial contestant shouted loudly – "My dad dares to eat shit!"
The next contestant, even more filial than him, shouted – "My dad can eat two kilograms!"
"Now, let's welcome our last contestant. Oh! This is a friend from the East! Please welcome Jun Yijiang!" The host's expression brightened.
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Junyi leaned down and said to Wan Qingyun, "Then I'll go up?"
"Okay! Keep it up!" Wan Qingyun clenched her little fists.
"Give me a kiss?"
"Pop!"
"Go quickly!" Wan Qingyun, her face slightly flushed.
"Okay!"
Jiang Junyi stretched his neck and stepped onto the ring.
"I've heard that ancient Eastern countries possess mysterious powers. Is that true?" the host joked.
"Yes, in our country, you'd be embarrassed to go out if you didn't have some skills to rely on." Jiang Junyi was just joking.
"Wow! That's pretty cool! Come on, young man from the East! Let us hear your voice!"
Jiang Junyi walked to the decibel meter and took a deep breath.
His gaze gradually shifted to Wan Qingyun below the stage, and he gave a wicked smile.
Wan Qingyun suddenly felt as if something bad was about to happen!
" Wan Qingyun..."
I love you—!
Jiang Junyi's expression instantly turned ferocious as he roared with all his might.
In this battle, victory is not an option!
The decibel meter was beating wildly, just like Wan Qingyun's pretty face in the audience was turning red at a visible speed.
She covered her face with her hands: How embarrassing!
Five seconds later, the sound gradually subsided.
The host then stepped forward and said, "Everyone, he didn't lie to me! He didn't lie to me!"
"If we weren't wearing earplugs, friends, we might have booked the entire hospital!"
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.
"130dB! A truly generous gift! He is undoubtedly the champion!" The host raised Jiang Junyi's hand. "Let's cheer for this friend from the East!"
The lively atmosphere infected Wan Qingyun and Jiang Junyi, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Please proceed to the castle gates; there you will participate in the final round!"
Jiang Junyi stepped off the stage and pushed Wan Qingyun toward the most magnificent building in Skalig City — Heravik Castle.
"How was it? Are you satisfied with your performance just now?" Jiang Junyi asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Wan Qingyun blushed a little when she thought about Jiang Junyi saying those words in front of so many people.
Thankfully it wasn't in Great Xia, otherwise it would have been... a real disaster.
Just as the two were on their way to Heravik Castle, they suddenly heard a sound—
"I swear to protect... Young Master!!!"
Jiang Junyi exclaimed with emotion, " Uncle Wu, he really... I'm going to cry my eyes out!"
Wan Qingyun smiled helplessly, " Uncle Wu is so old, yet he still utters such... shameful slogans..."
Jiang Junyi shrugged. "He said it's not safe for one person to be alone, and he needs someone to protect him. There's nothing we can do about it."
The two arrived at the castle, strolled around for a while, and took some photos.
" Young Master." Uncle Wu approached at that moment.
"You're back, Uncle Wu. How was it?" Jiang Junyi asked with a smile.
"Take it down."
"That's perfect, come and take a picture of me and Qingyun!" Jiang Junyi handed the camera to Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu's eyes lit up; this was something he was good at!
"Crack! Crack!"
This old man was incredibly agile, performing all sorts of difficult moves to find the best shooting angles for his Young Master and Young Madam.
"Buzz—!"
The sound of Viking horns rang out, as if it were some kind of summons.
People gradually gathered in front of Heravik Castle, their expressions filled with excitement.
Soon, the winner of the Treasure of the Gods Tour will be revealed!
This year is the year when the Sky Tear Crystal blooms in full glory.
A champion equals countless riches equals saving the person you want to save.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Flames suddenly rose around the arena, intensifying the excitement of the feast.
"Everyone! Are you ready?!"
"Ready!"
The audience below the stage was thrilled.
The most primal shouts always evoke a sense of exhilaration in people's hearts.
This is not only a struggle for the Sky Tear Crystal, but also a spiritual self-purification.
After the competition, Skalig welcomes anyone who wants to go on stage and cheer!
"Then, the four winners of the preliminary rounds will face off in pairs. Ultimately, the winners will compete to determine the champion!"
"Everyone has two chances to shout!"
"Now, let's welcome the four winners."
Amid cheers from the crowd, Jiang Junyi and Uncle Wu stepped onto the ring!
