"Okay! I don't want to say any more unnecessary words. I guess those contestants who have achieved good results in the competition should be waiting to receive their own prizes, right?!"

"Now the top ten contestants in the ranking competition are invited to come on stage. I would like to congratulate you on your good results, and at the same time, prepare for the internal elder promotion competition in ten days!"

Wow!

Amidst bursts of exclamations, Du Long and other top ten players in the competition appeared on stage one after another, and soon came to the podium.

Then, under the guidance of the Great Protector Geqiu, they stood on the podium of different rankings. They could see the Holy Son, Saint and several other great Protectors walking out of the podium.

As usual, the top ten temple leaders in Jinshan World will present awards to the top ten winners of the City Lord Contest!

Under the gaze of many eager eyes, a group of ten sexy beauties in uniforms held prizes covered with red brocade cloth in their hands, and walked slowly behind the ten top leaders of the temple.

In this way, the top leaders of each temple led a beautiful woman in uniform to the contestants who were responsible for awarding awards. The person who came to Du Long was the sacred and inviolable saint.

"Hongwu City Lord!" Saint Yin Feifei stared at Du Long with piercing eyes, and said softly: "Congratulations on successfully winning the championship of this city Lord competition. You can also be regarded as a big dark horse who suddenly made a bad move in this competition, very Fortunately, you are under the command of Protector Zhao!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Saint!" Du Long didn't quite understand the Saint's real thoughts, so he could only politely bow his hands and say, "I'm just lucky!"

"Hmph!" The Holy Son Komo Tarot, who was standing in front of the second place, heard the conversation between the two and looked at Du Long fiercely: "You are indeed lucky, but the elder promotion competition in ten days will be very difficult. You won’t be so lucky again!”

Faced with the threatening words of Saint Son Chi Guoguo, Du Long just glanced at the other party with an indifferent expression, without making any response at all, and turned to look at the Saint again.

"Ignore him!" Saint Yin Feifei didn't even look at the Holy Son, and said with some disdain: "On the award-winning platform, the dignified Holy Son is actually so small-minded?!"

The Saint's face changed slightly, but he just snorted and did not continue to find fault with the Saint. He really didn't want to be blamed for being too short.

His city lords have won many championships in previous competitions, but they have not seen any bad performance from the Holy Maiden. If he continues to entangle like this, he will only bring shame to the forces behind him.

"Hongwu City Lord!" Seeing that the Holy Son just glared at Du Long fiercely and stopped saying anything, Saint Yin Feifei continued to look at Du Long with a smile and said: "I think you should be interested in the prize for the first place in the City Lord Competition. Very curious, right?!”

"I would like to give you the first reward, which is the city lord token of one hundred cities. When you can successfully advance to become an elder in the elder promotion competition ten days later, then these one hundred cities will belong to you. In your name!”

"In addition, you can also sell these tokens in advance, and your immediate boss Zhao Hufa has priority to purchase them. Don't worry, if Zhao Hufa wants to buy them, he will definitely buy them at the most fair price!"

While explaining the information in a sweet voice, the saint stretched out her slender hand to lift the red brocade cloth, and she could see three ordinary space array stones placed on it.

She first took down one of the formation stones, then handed it to Du Long with a solemn expression and said: "This is the one hundred City Lord Tokens, you must keep it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Saint!" Du Long quickly bowed to express his thanks, and then asked with a hint of confusion: "I heard that these City Lord Tokens will automatically return to the hands of Protector Zhao after the Elders Promotion Competition fails?!"

"Well!" The saint smiled faintly and said: "You failed in the elder promotion competition. No matter you are dead or alive, you can't continue to lead so many cities. Naturally, these city lord tokens will be distributed by Protector Zhao!"

"I understand!" Du Long figured it out immediately.

This can also be regarded as a reward for the winning forces in the competition, giving all forces greater motivation to compete for a better ranking, instead of just being stubborn and unwilling to make progress.

"Hmm!" The saint nodded slightly, then picked up another space formation stone in the tray of the beautiful woman in uniform and said: "This is another prize for the first place in the City Lord Contest, which is a knife, an axe, and a sword. A piece of eternal magic weapon!"

"Three eternal weapons?! And the eternal sword, axe, and sword?!" Du Long's eyes widened in shock, and he could see a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"That's right!" The saint said with a smile: "It was originally three random third-level eternal weapons. I saw the magical powers you showed in the competition and the weapons you are accustomed to using, so I changed them for you. Three eternal weapons!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Saint!" Du Long thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome!" The saint waved her hand and said indifferently: "I just helped you change three more useful weapons, it's just a little effort!"

She stretched out her hand again and took out the last space formation stone on the tray and said: "In comparison, what is the use of this third prize... Whether it is big or small depends on your own ability!"

Du Long stretched out his hand to take the last space formation stone with curiosity on his face, and immediately sunk his mind into it. He immediately saw that there was only a simple token lying inside.

"What kind of token is this?!" Du Long turned over his hand and took out the token, which had no idea of ​​its function, and muttered with confusion on his face.

"The function of this token will only take effect after you advance to become an elder. Before that, you can choose to sell it or keep it with you..." the saint murmured vaguely.

Du Long raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not continue to ask any more questions. He turned over his hand and put the token away: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Saint!"

"Well!" The saint seemed to be very satisfied with his knowledge. She glanced at him hesitantly and then changed her voice to speak with her divine consciousness: "The elder promotion competition in ten days is very important. I hope you can successfully advance to become an elder." Only in this way can an elder be considered a high-level member of the temple! ’

‘I will do my best! ’

Du Long nodded and agreed without hesitation. The reason why he traveled hundreds of millions of miles to the main holy city to compete was not just for one of the hundreds of elder positions.

Only by becoming a member of the higher echelons of the temple can he have the authority to learn more secrets of this Jinshan world and gain a deeper understanding of the relics of prehistoric battlefields.

When he met Oni inside the picture scroll world, he had a preliminary guess and judgment about the Jinshan world in front of him and the prehistoric battlefield ruins outside.

The reason why Oni came to Jinshan World and participated in the City Lord Competition must also be to compete for a spot as an elder. As one of the most valued children of the Lord of the Soul Palace, his knowledge of this world must be countless more than his own. Times!

In the blink of an eye, several minds immediately sank into the world inside the body, and they began to impatiently want to interrogate the answers they wanted from the origin of Oni's soul that was captured alive.

On the martial arts field, the award ceremony ended quickly, and the hundreds of millions of spectators in the entire martial arts field left the stage one after another.

"Brother Hongwu! You and Xue Jing come with me to Protector Zhao's Mansion!" General Liu appeared on the rostrum and shouted directly to Du Long and Xue Jing, who were ranked in the top ten.

In this City Lord Competition, Du Long won first place, while Xue Jing barely made it into the top ten and finished tenth!

Under the leadership of General Liu, the two men drove a flying boat straight to Zhao Mansion and flew away.

"Congratulations to Brother Hongwu for successfully winning the first place in this city master competition!" Xue Jing said politely to Du Long in the flying boat.

"Congratulations! Brother Xue Jing also won the tenth place in the competition!" Du Long could only return the favor politely.

"Alas!" Xue Jing shook his head and sighed: "If the Hongwu brothers hadn't wiped out Yate and Kong Og from the beginning, let alone barely squeeze into the top ten, I might have died in the middle of the competition!"

Looking at Xue Jing who was so pessimistic, Du Long didn't know what to say for a while.

"You still have some self-awareness!" General Liu, who was responsible for driving the flying boat, said with a faint smile: "Hongwu killed Yate early in the morning, which really changed the outcome of the entire competition and also changed the rankings of many contestants!"

"It's not just as simple as changing some rankings?!" Xue Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Based on my understanding of Art, if that bastard hadn't committed suicide early in the morning, several contestants under the Saint's command might have suffered the same fate. Unexpected!"

"That guy is indeed a lunatic. Even when his opponent chose to admit defeat, he still ignored the rules and continued to kill the opponent!" Du Long nodded in agreement with deep sympathy.

"Haha! As the saying goes, the first bird is shot, didn't he kill himself in the end?!"

"Hahaha..."

A group of three people were chatting on the roadside in the flying boat. During this period, General Liu also reminded Du Long that he must be prepared for the elder promotion competition ten days later.

According to General Liu, there will be a wave of ranking challenges among hundreds of lower-ranked elders in these ten days.

In the end, the ten lowest ranked ordinary elders will be ranked, and then these ten lowest ranked elders will compete with the top ten in the City Lord Competition. The winner will advance and the loser will die!

That's right!

It is the cruel reality that the winner is promoted and the loser dies. According to the convention, the elder promotion competition is extremely cruel. Everyone will work hard to advance to the elder!

In particular, the battles between different camps are even more bloody and cruel, and can almost be regarded as a life-or-death situation!

As for the elder promotion competition between the same camp, as long as the other side feels that there is no chance of winning, they can take the initiative to admit defeat. Basically, the winning side will not continue to kill the other side.

"Xue Jing!" After introducing these, General Liu looked at Xue Jing and said: "As a city lord who has grown up in Jinshan World for many years, you should be very aware of how cruel this promotion competition is, right?!"

"I understand what the general means!" Xue Jing said with a slightly depressed expression: "I will not participate in the elder promotion competition!"

"That's good!" General Liu nodded slightly: "With your current strength, it is indeed too dangerous to participate in the Elder Promotion Competition!"

Du Long looked at Xue Jing indifferently, and you could see the unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes. He had finally advanced to the top ten and had the opportunity to compete for the position of elder, but he had to choose to back down. He would definitely not feel good.

Du Long reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Is it for Qin Lihua?! I think your choice is very correct. It can not only gain love, but also avoid falling into unnecessary desperate situations!"

"Thank you!" Xue Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The road to cultivation is long. I will continue to work hard to improve my cultivation. When the right opportunity comes, I will compete for the position of elder!"

"Um!"

The flying boat quickly landed outside the gate of Zhao Mansion. Under the leadership of General Liu, the three people entered the mansion unimpeded, and then met the protector Zhao Pojun in the main hall of the reception hall.

At Zhao Pojun's hand, the three of them took their seats respectively, and a maid immediately served them tea and fruit snacks.

"Haha!" After the maid retreated, Zhao Pojun smiled heartily and said: "I didn't expect that Hongwu City Lord actually hid his true combat power in the internal faction ranking competition!"

"What I didn't even expect was that in the subsequent City Lord Competition, you directly won the first place in the competition with your indomitable and powerful attitude. This brought great honor to the face of this protector!"

"Thank you so much for the compliment, Protector Zhao!" Du Long bowed his hands and greeted him politely.

"Haha!" Zhao Pojun, who has always had a cold personality, laughed again: "This is your strength, no need to be humble, right! How are you going to deal with the hundreds of cities in your hands?!"

"Sell it directly!" Du Long made the decision without thinking: "I wonder if Protector Zhao intends to buy it?!"

"Yes! Of course I am willing!" Protector Zhao responded simply: "Then I won't take advantage of you, how about I just buy it at the average market price?!"

"OK!"

Du Long understood that Protector Zhao would never cheat him, so he turned over his hand and took out a space formation stone, and then volleyed it in front of Zhao Pojun.

"How could you sell the City Lord's Token so simply?!" Zhao Pojun said slightly suspiciously, "Could it be that...you don't have much confidence in your future Elder Promotion Competition?!"

"No!" Du Long shook his head and said in denial: "I just feel that the speed of obtaining wealth from these one hundred cities through taxation is too slow. Naturally, I hope to cash in as soon as possible!"

"Too slow?!" This time it was General Liu's turn to ask doubtfully: "Could it be that...do you feel like you are about to break through and ascend to the divine world?!"

"No!" Du Long shook his head again and said in denial: "I still have a long way to go before I can break through and ascend, but I don't have much time and energy to manage too many cities!"

"Forget it! This is the money for a hundred cities, just keep it!" Zhao Pojun directly sent a space formation stone containing the eternal divine mine to Du Long.

"That..." Du Long glanced at the number of eternal divine mines in it, and it was astonishing that a city was exchanged for the ore to make a thousand first-order eternal divine weapons: "I wonder if the eternal divine mines here can be divided evenly into different parts. A different kind of divine mine?!”

In the space formation stone, there is only a single eternal divine mine, which is not cost-effective for Du Long.

"Okay! Under normal circumstances, there will be some fees for exchanging different ores. Since these ores are used to purchase cities, those fees will be waived!"

"Thank you so much, Protector Zhao!"
