NOVEL WEB Chapter 988: All Mine?
"I now announce that all the Tokens in Chen Yu's possession are valid, making him the first!"
Upon hearing these words, the five major families felt as if they were struck by lightning.
Their enemy ascended to the first position.
And in the top ten seats, not one from the five major families, making them lose face completely.
The geniuses who participated in the Token competition also looked crestfallen, feeling utterly ashamed.
Chen Yu showed surprise, yet accepted it calmly, feeling it was well-deserved.
After all, he had obtained so many Tokens, even though they were all damaged.
"Sir, this might not be good. The Tokens in his hands are damaged and possibly counterfeit."
He Tianxiong's master from the He Family could not suppress his anger and cautiously offered his advice.
He Tianxiong was killed by Chen Yu, and he wished he could tear Chen Yu into pieces.
"This lad is unscrupulous and cunning. There is indeed this possibility!"
The Yang Family higher-ups also agreed.
The five major families wanted to invalidate Chen Yu's achievements. On one hand, they didn't want their enemy to receive the reward to enter the Emperor Sect.
On the other hand, if Chen Yu's achievements were nullified, they could suggest holding another event to redistribute the positions.
"The Tokens are my production. Are you all doubting my judgment?"
The round-faced middle-aged man spoke lightly, yet it startled the five major families.
From his words, it could be deduced that the round-faced middle-aged man was determined to defend Chen Yu!
Could it be that he saw potential in this young talent?
If that were indeed the case, they really couldn't do anything against Chen Yu.
"As for the second and third places, since you two have the same number of Tokens, you will duel to decide the ranking."
The round-faced middle-aged man continued.
The man and the woman were both shocked beyond belief.
Originally, they thought that even getting a single Token, it would be a slim chance to enter the top ten.
Unexpectedly, they both made it to the top three, a remarkable achievement.
As for being second or third, it didn't matter to them, they were already satisfied.
Furthermore, the rewards for the second and third places are the same, with only the honor differing.
The round-faced middle-aged man spoke, and they complied, stepping out to duel.
Bang! Bang!
The man and the woman flew into the sky, instantly dazzling with their moves, startling everyone around.
The battle was intense, yet nobody appreciated it.
The higher-ups of the five major families all had gloomy looks, with heavy hearts.
This Five Mountains Martial Art Contest!
The five major families didn't get a single position.
All of this was due to Chen Yu.
Yang Lingjie from the Yang Family was killed by Chen Yu, and the Token was seized.
Wu Yuan's Token was also snatched by Chen Yu.
He Tianxiong was also slain by Chen Yu.
The Xu Family's twin talents, Xu Hai and Xu Tao, died because of Chen Yu, and their Tokens fell into Chen Yu's hands. The top talent Xu Liusu was robbed twice by Chen Yu, suffering immense psychological trauma.
As for the Chang Family, in the opinion of the graceful woman, if not for Chen Yu plundering a large number of Tokens, she could have gotten one or two pieces herself.
The five major families' hatred for Chen Yu reached its peak.
But they could do nothing against Chen Yu.
Just now, when Elder Yang Yi attempted to kill Chen Yu, the higher authority of Tianhe Sect personally intervened to stop him.
"My Xu Family has stood for a thousand years, never encountering such a situation with no positions at all.
"This cursed lone star, bringing disaster to my Yang Family."
The Yang Family Master gritted his teeth in hatred for Chen Yu, believing he had brought ruin to the Yang Family.
"Alas, this time we failed, and from now on, the Chang Family's situation will only become more difficult."
The Chang Family ranks lowest among the five major families, and if the five families' situation changes, the Chang Family is most likely to decline.
Nonetheless, some smaller family forces were overjoyed.
"The positions of the five major families are likely to shift."
"Surprisingly, the 'Fei Family' has a member who secured a Token and made it to the top three. The Fei Family might have the best chance to become a new member of the five major families."
But when it comes to Chen Yu, these smaller family forces didn't know how to approach him.
Logically, they should be grateful to Chen Yu and try to win him over, but by doing so, they risk being embroiled in conflict and retaliated against by the five major families, making them hesitant to approach Chen Yu.
At this moment.
The battle in the sky concluded.
The young man from the Fei Family won, becoming second place.
The female loose cultivator took third place.
Though defeated, she was no less ecstatic, her eyes bright with excitement.
"The top three are now confirmed, with the first place awarding five spots, and the second and third places awarding four spots each."
This year, in the territory of the five great Spiritual Mountains, there were a total of thirty positions.
Under normal circumstances.
First place would have five slots.
Second to third places would have four slots each.
Fourth to sixth places would have three slots each.
Seventh to tenth places would have two slots each.
But this time, there were only the top three, with no positions beyond that.
Meaning, there were still seventeen slots left unallocated.
"Sir, there are thirty slots in total, and only thirteen have been allocated, leaving so many slots open. It seems your task might not be complete."
"How about holding another event to distribute the remaining slots?"
The Xu Family Patriarch's eyes were filled with hope.
"Sir, please consider that our Wu Family is full of talents aspiring to join the Emperor Sect, yet we have no positions at all, severely dampening the confidence of our young ones. We ask, sir, to give them another chance."
"Please stay here a few more days to complete the distribution of the remaining slots."
The five major families spoke in unison, making their last plea.
If they could keep the round-faced middle-aged man there, they'd have time to "negotiate" and believed he wouldn't pass up advantages to go against the five major families for just a few slots.
The geniuses of the five major families also held onto hope.
They still had a chance to fight for a slot, to enter the top-notch Four-star Force of the Human Race!
"Chen Yu, just you wait. I will definitely surpass you."
Yang Dingguang was full of ambition.
A top-level four-star force holds infinite possibilities. If chosen by an elder as a disciple, one could soar to great heights, have a smooth cultivation path, and potentially become an emperor one day!
"Next time, I will personally kill you."
Xu Liusu's sinister eyes glanced at Chen Yu.
He must join a top-level four-star force, seize fortune, surpass Chen Yu, and take revenge.
The square-faced middle-aged man seemed moved, showing a pensive look.
This gave the five major families hope.
Suddenly.
The square-faced middle-aged man said, "What you said makes sense. The upper levels gave you thirty spots, and now only thirteen are allocated, leaving quite a few more."
The five major families were excited all over.
They still had hope of getting a spot!
"However, I am very busy and don't have much time, so how about this..."
These words from the square-faced middle-aged man made the five major families anxious again, uncertain about the attitude of the Tianhe Sect's upper ranks.
"This time, Chen Yu alone took eighteen tokens. The remaining spots will all go to him."
As these words were spoken.
The high-levels of the five major families were dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable and shocking.
Even Chen Yu showed a surprised look.
All mine?
Even if the square-faced middle-aged man favored him, such a huge favor seemed excessive.
Previously, the square-faced middle-aged man protected him and deterred Elder Yang Yi, already making Chen Yu feel something was off, sensing that this high-level figure of a large force was too kind to him.
After all, Chen Yu had offended the five major families, and after this action by the square-faced middle-aged man, even if he left here, the five major families wouldn't dare to deal with Chen Yu for a while.
And now, he's given all the remaining spots to Chen Yu.
This way, the five major families not only wouldn't dare to deal with Chen Yu but would even need to curry favor and please him to get spots from him.
"No, my lord, such a hasty decision cannot be made."
"Please reconsider!"
"How can such a large number of spots be handed to one person!"
Yang Yi was extremely agitated. If the Yang Family could get so many spots, they might reach the Xu Family's glory within a century.
The geniuses of the five major families were stunned, having no idea what to do. Have they completely lost the chance to get into the Emperor Sect?
"It's settled."
The square-faced middle-aged man concluded decisively!
At this moment, countless people were struck, looking grim.
Xu Liusu's face turned a shade of green and white, his figure unstable, as if about to collapse.
"Thank you, my lord, for the reward."
Chen Yu smiled, gladly accepting.
Given thirty spots, he alone controlled twenty-two.
No matter how much the five major families hated Chen Yu, they could only make alliances and could not attack him.
If they killed Chen Yu, not only might it anger the square-faced middle-aged man, but the other twenty-two spots would also be out of their reach.
"The martial gathering, concluded!"
The square-faced middle-aged man announced once again.
Everyone realized the Five Mountains Martial Gathering had ended like this, unbelievably.
Chen Yu became the center of all attention.
But all these gazes were extremely complex.
"He's impressive, twenty-two spots."
The King of Fallen Moon exclaimed.
He, along with Lin Xuefei and Zou Heng, could also enter the Emperor Sect.
"Chen Yu, come with me."
Suddenly, the square-faced middle-aged man spoke.
Chen Yu was baffled, what did this lord want?
The other small and large forces, including the five major families, could only sigh at this scene.
It appeared this high-level figure in the Tianhe Sect greatly valued Chen Yu.
...
"Thank you, senior, for your support."
Chen Yu first expressed his gratitude again.
The result of the Five Mountains Martial Gathering was beyond his expectations. With just these twenty-two spots, he could exchange for enormous benefits.
"Supporting you was necessary, but it's also something you earned yourself. If you hadn't obtained a single token, my support would have been limited."
The square-faced man no longer looked so high and mighty, giving Chen Yu a feeling of approachability.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling something was off with this statement.
Was the other party planning to support him all along?
"Do you wonder why the Five Mountains Martial Gathering's participation rules were suddenly changed?"
The square-faced man couldn't help but smile.
The adjacent silver-robed woman had her doubts cleared, examining Chen Yu with increasing curiosity.
"Why are you helping me, senior?"
Chen Yu asked suddenly, realizing.
Having just come to the main world, he knew no one. How could the upper ranks of the Tianhe Sect be interested in him?
"The Lin Family owed your father a favor, and you and our Lin Family also have some ties. Helping you is both repaying that favor and justified."
A single sentence from the square-faced man sent waves through Chen Yu's mind.
Even the silver-robed woman beside him found it hard to believe.
Who exactly was this person? And who was his father?
The prestigious Lin Family, a four-star peak great clan, actually owed his father a favor, truly unbelievable.
If his father had such abilities, how could the son be in such dire straits?
"Does senior know my father, and where is he now?"
Chen Yu asked.
One of his reasons for coming to the main world was to find the Qingyun Emperor.
