Instead, it was the martial arts forces and dynasties that participated in the competition that suffered. Why did it turn out like this?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Li Chengqian smiled but did not reveal the secret.
The law of the world is always survival of the fittest.
The weak have no right to share the pie with the strong. Unless forced to, the strong generally don't fight each other to the death.
This principle applies to the martial arts world as well as to the struggle for supremacy between dynasties.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked up at the other side of the field.
There stand ten mountain peaks, of which one is the tallest and is also the main peak among the ten.
This is another competition venue that I had the system prepare.
These peaks are different from others; they have no vegetation or soil, only long stone steps and a wide stone chair at the top.
After glancing at the progress bar on the system panel and confirming that the maximum reward had been reached, I realized that I had already achieved it.
Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.
Now that the top reward is in hand, it's time to get moving.
Li Chengqian stood up and gave a soft shout.
"Here comes the sword!"
The Suwang Sword and Ling Shuang Sword from the bamboo grove courtyard flew out instantly and then slammed into the main peak.
The powerful sword intent made everyone afraid to look directly at it. By the time everyone came to their senses...
Li Chengqian has already appeared on the highest main peak.
He stood with his hands behind his back, with the two divine weapons, the Suwang Sword and the Ling Shuang Sword, standing beside him.
The warm, spring-like smile on his face vanished, replaced by a gaze sharper than the cold wind. Perhaps this was the true face of the Peaceful Sword Immortal.
"The second event has concluded, and I'm sure everyone has gained something from it."
"There are nine mountain peaks in front of me. Whoever climbs the peak will win the reward for the third event."
"The rewards for these three peaks are different; the first three peaks offer a reward of three thousand points."
"The three mountain peaks behind will give you a reward of two thousand points."
"The last three peaks offer a reward of 1,000 points. It's worth mentioning that the last three peaks contain the sword of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai."
"The rules are also very simple: the maximum number of people is five; you can have fewer, but not more."
"Climb the mountain, guard the mountain, and after the incense stick has burned, whoever can still stand on the summit will receive the reward."
"After a cup of tea, the climb will begin. Everyone, please adjust your breathing as soon as possible."
After speaking, Li Chengqian stood quietly in place, as if waiting for the event to begin.
However, upon hearing Li Chengqian's rules, all the martial arts practitioners wore bitter smiles.
Because they know that the opportunity for most people in the world has ended.
The opportunities that follow are reserved for a select few.
In fact, the events Mr. Li organized were to give people all over the world a chance to start over.
In the first event, everyone was equal and everyone had a chance.
This symbolizes those lucky people who are new to the martial arts world, representing those with prominent family backgrounds and deep connections.
Although they have an advantage over him, it's not like they can't surpass him.
The second event symbolizes the situation after several years of wandering the underworld.
Among those who entered the martial world with him, some joined a faction, while others achieved great success in martial arts on their own.
At this point, most people's fates are already sealed. If they see through the illusions of the martial world and retire from it, they might still be able to die a peaceful death.
If you still want to compete for fame and fortune and make a name for yourself.
The outcome was dismal, just like the losers in the second event.
Of course, during this period, one or two lucky individuals were able to make a name for themselves.
Take Zhang Wuji and Huang Rong, for example. Their martial arts skills were not particularly high, and their victory was due to a series of coincidences.
But such lucky people are far too few.
The Qin Dynasty delegation.
Upon hearing the rules of the event, the Mohists frowned.
The reward for saving Duanmu Rong was not enough.
During the recent event, Gai Nie was constantly fighting Wei Zhuang.
However, Dao Zhi and Bai Feng were not idle; they were plundering the area like madmen.
Although their martial arts skills are not the highest, their speed is such that even a Martial King-level expert would frown upon seeing them.
The two of them specifically targeted those with low reward points.
I don't mind 4 or 5 o'clock, I'll take 2 or 3 o'clock too.
Through small accumulations, the rewards obtained by the Mohists and the Quicksand were no less than those obtained by the Yin-Yang School.
During this time, some martial arts masters also set their sights on the two of them.
But it was no use; the two of them were too fast. If we tried to surround and kill them, it would definitely attract the obstruction of their companions.
The people of Qin are quite powerful, and with their obstruction, I might not be able to get the reward.
Instead of doing that, we should focus our attention on other people.
But even with so many rewards, it still wasn't enough.
The total reward points for the Great Qin Dynasty are currently over 1,600.
Even with double the reward, it's only a little over three thousand.
If you want Mr. Li to help, the reward should be at least close to the value of a celestial opportunity.
But a single Immortal Fate requires 5,000 reward points!
Of the three thousand reward points awarded by the Qin Dynasty, only one-third went to the Mohists. Ying Zheng would not use all of his rewards to save Duanmu Rong.
Even if Ying Zheng did this, the price the Mohists would have to pay would probably be greater than losing their principle of "non-aggression".
Thinking of this, Gai Nie glanced at the distant mountain peaks and calmly said, "The third event is extremely dangerous; I can go alone."
Upon hearing this, Dao Zhi immediately became anxious.
"Why should you be the only one who wants to save Miss Rong? You're not the only one who wants to save her."
At this moment, the Snow Woman spoke up as well.
"Dao Zhi is right. Everyone wants to save Sister Rong. There's no reason to let Mr. Gai go on the risk alone."
"Moreover, we had already discussed this before we came."
"If we really can't get enough rewards to save Sister Rong, then let's exchange Non-Aggression for Sister Rong's life."
Upon hearing this, Gai Nie frowned.
"But"
The Snow Maiden shook her head, interrupting Gai Nie.
"Mr. Li was right when he spoke at the bamboo grove courtyard; we were too stubborn."
"No matter how precious the Non-Aggression Act is, it is ultimately just an inanimate object, far less valuable than Sister Rong's life."
"If we really give up on Sister Rong because of non-aggression, perhaps it is just as Mr. Li said."
"The founder of the Mohist school would jump out of the ground and reprimand us."
Chapter 445 A woman of unparalleled beauty, masters from all over the world climb the mountain.
Faced with Xue Nu's words, Gai Nie finally nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's give it our all."
"Even if it costs me my life, I will get the reward to save Miss Rong's life."
"Master, are you going to participate in the third event?"
In response to Jian Chen's question, Wuming glanced at the nine mountain peaks.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't participate in this third event."
"Why?".
"With your martial arts skills, Master, you will definitely be able to win a place."
Upon hearing this, Wuming sighed softly.
"Among many masters, there are reasons why they have to climb mountains."
"If I were to go mountain climbing, it would inevitably cause unnecessary fighting. I have already received the reward of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin."
"In that case, there's no need to fight them. If I do engage them, I'll have no choice but to kill them."
"Because they are very strong, so strong that I have to fight them with all my might."
Upon hearing Wuming's words, Jian Chen echoed them a few times, but he still harbored some resentment in his heart.
He felt that his master was too kind, and that opportunities were based on one's own abilities, so how could he give them away?
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "The time has come, everyone, let's climb the mountain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two doors of the Ping An Inn opened, and three figures flew out at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
The three figures headed straight for the mountain peak with two thousand reward points.
Once the three figures had completely reached the summit, everyone could finally see who they were.
A stunningly beautiful woman was seen leaning back on a stone chair, exuding a languid yet domineering air.
He propped his head up slightly with his right hand, glanced at the figure on the main peak, and smiled slightly.
