Chapter 38: The Result of the Competition (Second Update), Seeking Again

  Wish you all a happy weekend!

  "My god, Qin Huai, did you actually raid the lair of a demonic beast?" Murong Fang couldn't believe his eyes, his mouth was wide open and almost couldn't be closed.

  "What the...!" The water lily was also startled, "Qin Lang, how did you get so many beast crystals? Our entire squad in Sea City doesn't even have as many as you do."

  Covering her mouth with one hand and shouting, she twisted her waist and got closer, picking up one, then another, and then another.

  "First-class intermediate, first-class advanced, second-class intermediate, second-class primary, second-class intermediate... Oh my, I'm going, there are actually so many second-class demon beast cores."

  As the narcissus shouted, the scorer was busy calculating the score. Until then, some people in the field finally came to their senses and were stunned one by one.

  "Qin brother, you're absolutely stunning!" Tong Gang rushed over quickly and wrapped his arms around Qin Cang's shoulders, exclaiming in surprise.

  "Yes, with Qin brother's beast crystals, our achievements in Luoyang City will be greatly improved. Maybe we can even surpass the ranking of the previous session."

  "Fart, I think it's already very promising to even enter the top three, that pile of beast crystals, my goodness, all of ours combined don't add up to that many."

  "Hahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing with joy.

  "Qin brother, how did you obtain so many beast crystals?"

  "Hmph, the beast tide chased me, I found a place to hide, and I reckon the beast group couldn't find me and got bored and started fighting among themselves. When I came out, it was full of demon beast corpses! It took me half a day to clean up!" Qin Lang said with a smile.

  "What? Who would believe such a reason?"

  "Hahaha, nobody believes it! Hahaha" Everyone burst out laughing again.

  Watching the triumphant smile of the people in Luoyang, Ming Li couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. After expending so much energy and resources, he hadn't expected not only to fail in killing Qin Cang, but also to inadvertently benefit him instead. At this moment, all he could do was pray that the beast crystals brought by Qin Cang wouldn't pose a threat to Di Ming City. Otherwise, all his schemes would have been for naught, and upon returning to Di Ming City, there would be no sweet rewards to reap.

  One side was overjoyed while the other was worried. Before long, those in charge of tallying up the scores also had their results.

  "Qin Huai, have you taken out all the beast crystals?" Mo Gu Yun asked.

  "Well, that's about it." Qin Lang said with a flick of his eyes.

  "If that's all there is to it, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Mo Gu Yun looked at Qin Cang with a profound gaze, his mouth slightly curved upwards as he spoke word by word.

  "What? Is this still not enough? How much more is needed?" Qin Lang shouted out in surprise, but immediately realized he had revealed his family's secrets and quickly silenced himself.

  "At least you need to come up with something a bit more advanced." Mo Gu Yun sneered at Qin Lang.

  "Want a higher level one?" Qin Guang whispered, "I don't know which level is high and which level is low, which one should I take out?"

  At this time, Murong Fang butted in, asking: "Little kid, what are you muttering about? Do you still have beast crystals here? Hurry up and take them all out, what's the point of hiding them?"

  "Is there anything else? If not, I'll announce the result of the competition. If you're late again, this incense will burn out and whatever you take out won't count." Mo Gu Yun seemed to have guessed Qin Liang's thoughts and continued to tease him.

  "Oh, okay, I have one more here, you can have it." Qin Lin reached into his storage bag and pulled out a red beast crystal, holding it in his hand. "That's all there is, really, nothing else. I just thought it was pretty so I wanted to keep it. There really isn't anything else."

  Just as a heavenly soldier was about to step forward to take the beast crystal from Qin Guang's hand, he was stopped by Mo Gu Yun's voice.

  "Qin Lang, throw me the beast crystal." Mo Gu said calmly.

  "Ah, Princess, you can have it." Qin Lin's hand gestured outward, and the red beast crystal flew towards Mo Gu Yun. Mo Gu Yun stretched out his hand to receive the crystal.

  As soon as he touched the red beast crystal, Mo Gu Yun's face changed with a subtle change that was hard to detect, and after thinking for a few seconds, he quickly returned to normal.

  At this moment, the incense in the huge censer finally burned to its last moment.

  The game is over.

  "The competition has finally come to an end, and now I announce the results. As usual, I will only announce the top five. The rest of the rankings will be posted in the central square of Gū Yún City."

  Everyone held their breath and waited for the outcome.

  "Fifth place, Gao Feng Cheng!"

  "Haha, our Valley Peak City finally made it into the top five."

  "Yes indeed! Our efforts over the past few years have not been in vain!"

  "That's right, wooo!"

  Gucheng City was overjoyed to the point of tears. To know that in the previous county competition, Gucheng City ranked sixth and for several consecutive sessions, it hovered between sixth and seventh place, never able to enter the top five. Unable to enter the top five, they could only be listed on the central square billboard.

  Only the top five can be announced by the County Master. And this time, Gucheng finally got his wish.

  Mo Gu Yun didn't interrupt the joyful moment of Gu Feng City, but instead smiled and looked at the overjoyed and tearful representatives of Gu Feng City below the round platform.

  After a while, the emotions of the group from Gu Peak City finally stabilized. Seeing that the county master was looking at them, they realized their loss of composure and felt somewhat embarrassed.

  "Fourth place, Haitian City!"

  Wow!

  The scene was silent, almost no one could believe their ears. Haitian City got fourth place? This is simply unbelievable. In the previous county comparison, Haitian City was the bottom team, the thousand-year-old tail. Is this a stimulant or what? Suddenly rose to fourth place! This is the first time in the history of the county's big comparison.

  "Hmph! I told you guys a long time ago, our Haitian City is well-prepared and won't be underestimated. You think we'll always be the ones to take the fall?!" The Water Fairy puffed out her chest and started muttering to herself.

  And in the Haitian team, everyone was extremely calm, as if such a result had long been expected by them. A mere fourth place couldn't surprise them at all.

  The progress of Haitian City is so amazing that Mo Gu Yun can't help but sigh in admiration, this indeed exceeded his expectations.

  "Third place, Donglin City!"

  This result is not unexpected, as Donglin City has always been one of the top three. Although the first place of Gūyún City cannot be shaken, the competition between Donglin City and Dìmíng City has never stopped.

  However, it seems that Di Ming City has gained the upper hand this time.

  The leader of the Earth City, Ming Li, finally let out a sigh of relief. Donglin City got third place, which means that Earth City took second place. After all, in so many sessions of the county competition, the top three positions of Earth City have never been shaken. In the last county competition, Luoyang City rose strongly and came all the way to challenge the top three positions this time. Various signs indicate that Luoyang City seems to be trending beyond Earth City. In order to keep the top three positions, there was a series of conspiracies by Earth City.

  Although a Qin Lang later emerged in the big comparison and all plans against him ended in failure, it now appears that the previous moves still achieved some effect.

  "Second place, Lonely Cloud City!"

  Wow!

  The entire scene fell silent once again. The result of this match was even more shocking than Haiti's fourth place finish earlier.

  Gu Yun City actually only got second place? Gu Yun County's number one city, the champion of every previous competition, was actually robbed of its championship throne?

  This is simply an unthinkable thing.

  Who will be the first? Which city can have such strength?

  Is it Di Ming City?

  The Dark City has never ranked in the top three in previous competitions, and so far, only the ranking of the Dark City has not been announced. It seems that only the possibility of the Dark City is the greatest.

  Such an idea is not limited to one or two people. Those who think so, of course, also include the leader of the Nether City, Ming Li.

  At this time, Mingli's breathing had become urgent, and his life seemed to have never been so tense. No, there was one time, when he was a child, he stole the underwear of the maid next door and hid it under his bed, and he was only so nervous when he was afraid of being discovered.

  "Could it be... could it be that my city's reputation has exploded? When did these kids become so capable?" Ming Li looked at the ten people representing his city, and found that they were all like him, their faces bright red, breathing rapidly. In fact, he himself was also flushed to the point of pain, but since his face was already red, even if it got redder, it would be hard for others to notice.

  The people of Luoyang were extremely disappointed, each and every one of them looked utterly dejected. Murong Fang also lowered his proud head at this moment. In fact, from the very beginning of the competition, he had already guessed this outcome. The loss of their great general before the match had cast a shadow over the competition. Even if Qin Guang had emerged as a brilliant surprise, one person's strength was ultimately unable to change the outcome of the match.

  Although everyone present had countless shocks and incomprehension in their hearts, no one made a single sound. Mo Gu Yun also expected this result to have such a shocking effect. After waiting quietly for a moment, he finally spoke up.

  "Everyone doesn't have to be surprised, the competition is like this, no team can always be first. This time being pulled down also gave us a wake-up call that we can never relax at any time. Similarly, I hope you all work harder too, if one day in a big competition, Lonely Cloud City can't even make it into the top three, then that would mean that the overall strength of my Lonely Cloud County has been fully enhanced." Mo Gu Yun's words made everyone's blood boil with excitement. At this moment, it seemed like everyone thought that next time, the one to defeat Lonely Cloud City would be their own city.

  "And now I announce, the winner of this county competition is......"

  Everyone stared at Mo Gu Yun with wide eyes, and the scene was silent. A falling needle could be clearly heard.

  "First place! Luoyang City!"
