Chapter 138 (continued)

This Scythe of Ice reminded Qing Teng of that ice-type, scythe-wielding Eighth Grade Grandmaster.

Coincidentally, the Grandmaster made his move at the exact time Li Yang arrived in the Single-Horn Domain.

But Qing Teng simply couldn't believe that Li Yang was that Grandmaster.

The difference in their skill levels is too great, and there are already many ice-type Star Skill, so it's most likely that Li Yang will learn something similar.

As for the other viewers who saw Li Yang's final battle, they would never even consider him an Eighth Grade Grandmaster.

People are more inclined to believe that it was just a simple collision with Star Skill, and would never believe that Li Yang is the Grandmaster who destroyed the Star Plundering Society!

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie returned to the venue of the Single-Horn Domain.

There were only a few people left standing on the huge platform in the venue.

Those who withdrew from the competition are all here.

Most people felt a sense of loss; although they survived, it was all for nothing.

But then I thought, it's good enough that I survived; it's better than dying inside.

At this moment, they looked at Li Yang and Lu Yanbie with extremely complicated expressions.

That feeling of envy and jealousy almost turned into hatred.

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie stood on the wide, high platform, receiving cheers and applause from the audience.

The organizer's mechanical voice sounded again, congratulating them on receiving 99% and 98% of the revenue share respectively.

Although Lu Yanbie and Li Yang withdrew voluntarily, they still left the field on their own initiative.

After the Heavenly Endeavor Squad and the Zero Three Squad were completely wiped out, the two people who had survived in the Life-and-Death Battle Secret Realm immediately chose to withdraw.

They were already among the last four, each receiving 96% and 97% of the commission. If they didn't withdraw now, they would truly end up with nothing.

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie, but they didn't dare to take the risk.

After all, those who fight to the very end are already bloodthirsty and wouldn't let them go.

Some loopholes are worth picking up, but some you'll risk your life to cover them up!

Amid the cheers of the audience, Li Yang and Lu Yanbie regained their senses.

Especially Li Yang, after seeing the huge reward, her mind was filled with the impending danger.

In the Single-Horn Domain, there is a rule.

That means you can't steal the tips from players in Life-and-Death Battles.

Once someone makes a move, the Grandmaster who oversees the Single-Horn Domain will pursue them to the ends of the earth, and may even implicate the Realm Domain behind them.

This is also the foundation upon which they stand.

If the contestants couldn't receive these large sums of money as tips, the Life-and-Death Battle would not have been able to be hosted for so many years.

It is precisely because of this rule that so many people participate in the Life-and-Death Battle.

Otherwise, with only a Sixth Grade Realm Peak realm and tens of millions of Star Coin, he would be too easily robbed.

Even with this rule in place, Li Yang did not let his guard down.

Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

If outsiders dare not seize it, will the organizers of the Single-Horn Domain let them off easily?

If Li Yang hadn't seen those spores, she wouldn't have thought too much about it.

Having already witnessed the spores, Li Yang was already on high alert.

This Life-and-Death Battle is incredibly strange!

Li Yang was initially seen as a place that used people's desires as a means to make money.

But the fact that spores of the Flower of Evil had appeared here made Li Yang wonder.

Is Single-Horn Domain really just a money-making scheme?

Or are they collecting something more important?

Just as Li Yang needs lifespan and Jiang Yuqing needs Shock Points, could the person behind this Life-and-Death Battle be... malice?

After the enthusiastic cheers, a replay of the highlight reel appeared on the big screen, along with a summary of all the donation records.

The replay was quite long, showing many of Li Yang and Lu Yanbie wonderful moments, which everyone enjoyed watching.

This is like a post-credits scene in a great movie, satisfying the audience's cravings and making them even more eager for the next Life-and-Death Battle.

Someone had already shouted, "Go Fire Fox Squad! I'll be back to support you in the next match!"

"If you get first place again, I'll double your reward!"

"Keep it up, Little Fire Fox! Once you reach a higher level, you'll be able to single-handedly dominate the entire arena!"

Amidst the shouts of the audience, Li Yang simply smiled slightly.

Everyone obviously thought the Fire Fox Squad would continue to participate in the Life-and-Death Battle, but in fact, Li Yang had no desire to go through it again.

At this moment, a handsome young man walked over. He bowed politely to Li Yang and Lu Yanbie, and then said, "Congratulations on winning the Life-and-Death Battle championship."

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie exchanged a glance, unsure of who the person in front of them was.

The young man introduced himself, "My name is Jiang Nianchu, and I'm the supervisor for this year's Life-and-Death Battle."

Upon hearing this name, Li Yang instinctively thought of the Jiang Family, who Pill Department.

However, the Jiang Nianchu in front of them was not Huaxia, but had a pair of snow-white animal ears, and looked like a canine.

"Hello." Li Yang and Lu Yanbie greeted him politely.

Jiang Nianchu said, "Please come with me, both of you. The amount of the reward this time is too large, so we need to go through some procedures to ensure both your personal safety and the accurate transfer of the Star Coin."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang thought to himself, "It really isn't that simple."

Lu Yanbie was not surprised, but since the two of them hadn't received the money yet, they could only follow the other party's procedures.

Jiang Nianchu noticed the tension between the two and explained, "Please rest assured, our Single-Horn Domain won't ruin its reputation for a mere 100 million Star Coin."

He said this casually, revealing his disdain for one hundred million Star Coin.

If anyone else had said that, it would have sounded arrogant.

But upon closer examination, the Single-Horn Domain wouldn't really jeopardize the future of the Life-and-Death Battle for a mere 100 million Star Coin.

One hundred million Star Coin is indeed a huge sum of money.

The Single-Horn Domain has held hundreds of Life-and-Death Battle, earning hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.

Therefore, Jiang Nianchu really has the right to say that.

Lu Yanbie's expression visibly relaxed somewhat, but Li Yang remained vigilant.

They followed Jiang Nianchu out of the platform of the Life-and-Death Battle arena, and after passing through a long corridor, the view suddenly opened up before them.

They arrived at the tallest building in the Single-Horn Domain.

On the top floor of this towering building that reaches straight into the sky is a spacious reception room.

The reception room has very high ceilings, and opposite it are slightly sloping glass windows, creating an invisible sense of oppression and making one feel very small.

Outside the window, a white mist blocked out the vibrant neon lights below the Single-Horn Domain, and also prevented people from seeing the filth and depravity that lay deep within.

The reception room above the clouds was serene and clean, like a sacred place.

Jiang Nianchu looks very young, and her demeanor is gentle and polite, making her easy to like.

Neither Li Yang nor Lu Yanbie could discern his cultivation level, but Lianxin's voice echoed in Li Yang's mind, "He is at the Eighth Grade Realm."

Li Yang understood.

Jiang Nianchu could not have been an ordinary Star Wielders if he could have become the supervisor of the Single-Horn Domain.

He may not have been the true founder, but he was certainly a key figure.

Jiang Nianchu greeted them, saying, "Please sit down."

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie sat down on the elegant wooden sofa, looking rather reserved.

Jiang Nianchu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. These are just standard procedures. Everyone else goes through the same thing. Once you've participated in a few more Life-and-Death Battle, we'll get used to it."

Hearing this, Li Yang's expression remained unchanged, but she knew in her heart that it wouldn't be easy for them to take away the reward points.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Nianchu took out a document and handed it to Li Yang and Lu Yanbie.

"You can choose to exchange for currencies from different Realm Domain, or you can choose equivalent treasures from this document, or of course, you can choose to take the Star Coin."

After opening the file, both Li Yang and Lu Yanbie were stunned for a moment.

It's filled with rare and precious medicinal herbs.

Star Coin are a universal currency issued by the Upper Three Realms. Although they have considerable purchasing power in the Astral Realm, compared to these rare and precious treasures, the latter are the true hard currency.

Moreover, Star Coin are easily resisted, while these rare and precious materials do not have this problem.

When Li Yang saw the words "Huaxia Currency" in the exchange Realm Domain, his heart skipped a beat.

Can the Star Coin earned in the Life-and-Death Battle be exchanged for Merit Points in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace?

This Life-and-Death Battle has such a wide network of connections!

Li Yang scanned the rare and precious materials and found that the prices were normal, although there might be some hidden price gouging, since Li Yang couldn't possibly know all the rare and precious materials.

However, the ones she knew were only about 10% more expensive than the market price.

However, there are some extremely special treasures, whose uniqueness makes them frighteningly expensive.

Lu Yanbie talking and said, "I only need Star Coin, nothing else."

Jiang Nianchu nodded, then looked at Li Yang: "Where is Miss Li?"

Li Yang closed the document and said, "I only need Star Coin."

Jiang Nianchu didn't try to persuade them further. Instead, after carefully putting away the two documents, she looked at Li Yang and asked, "A client is very interested in your secret treasure and has offered 10 million Star Coin. I wonder if Miss Li is interested?"

Lu Yanbie suddenly turned to look at Li Yang.

In his mind, Li Yang's secret treasure was a scourge.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this treasure is imbued with the Laws of Heaven and Earth; it consumes one's lifespan, and using it for a long time will inevitably lead to disaster.

If you can seize the opportunity to sell it and get 10 million Star Coin, it's a sure-fire way to make a profit.

The reason the other party offered such a high price was because Li Yang's performance in the Life-and-Death Battle was too outstanding, which aroused their interest.

Once the price of this treasure is known, let alone 10 million Star Coin, I'm afraid no one would even want it for 1 million.

Lu Yanbie was about to speak to persuade Li Yang, Li Yang shook her head and said, "I don't intend to sell my secret treasure."
