Inside the magic bottle was a drop of iridescent liquid that rolled back and forth within the dicine bottle, gleaming and translucent without dissolving, appearing extraordinarily mystical.
This scene was suddenly witnessed by the entire audience of ten billion! Even Mr. Huang Huapeng, CEO of Era Corporation, was taken aback!
Next to him, Miyamoto Musashi also saw this scene, and his face turned ashen when he saw the drop of iridescent liquid, as if he had fallen from Heaven into Hell in an instant!
He recognized that substance, and had used it himself twice just three days before—it was unmistakably a Level-Up Potion!
"No!" At that mont, Miyamoto Musashi suddenly cried out in alarm!
The voice, filled with endless fear, echoed throughout the venue and resounded in the ears of every spectator, startling countless people!
But it was already too late, Huang Yi uncapped the bottle and poured the liquid inside into his mouth!
That mont seed like an eternity!
The image of him tilting his head back to down the potion, his adam’s apple moving, eternally captured the hearts of people all over the world.
Then, an intense Upgrade Radiance suddenly emanated from Huang Yi’s body!
The next mont, a vast and ancient voice reverberated throughout The Second World—
"[System Announcent]: [God of Slaughter] is the first to reach Level 100, becoming the premier player to achieve Level 100, awarded Public Prestige of 2000 points, and accepts the world quest ’Mystery of Gods’, gaining [Unique Achievent]—[First Person of the Holy Domain], and receiving focused cultivation from the Oskan Royal Academy, China National Honor Value 2."
This system announcent seed like the long wait of a vast history had finally culminated in one outco! It was as if an entire era’s hope had finally found its bearer, and the future of the entire world had at last found its direction!
In an instant, the whole world was stunned!
Nurous people had been cursing Huang Yi monts before, but at this instant, their open mouths and angry expressions were completely frozen, motionless, as if ti had stopped.
The entire venue fell into a shocked silence, and even the host forgot to speak, just staring blankly at Huang Yi.
"This is, the king among losers!" said Huang Yi once more, his slender voice once again echoing throughout the venue!
Suddenly, everyone understood!
They finally knew why Huang Yi had chosen to lose!
Making money was just one of his goals; his real objective was to beco the first player to break through to Level 100!
And this objective could only be achieved by the person who lost!
Because the award ceremony proceeded in ascending order, first awarding the second-place winner before the first-place winner!
Miyamoto Musashi had already reached Level 99, so once he finished in second place, he would be first to receive the prize, his level directly rising by two levels, ascending to Level 101 in one fell swoop, becoming the first player to break through Level 100!
Therefore, in this competition, the person who lost was the real winner!
The reward for being the first to reach Level 100 far surpassed the individual match rewards! This could be discerned from the system announcent just now; before this point, even for the grandest deeds, only a small increase in National Honor Points would be awarded, but this ti, two points were directly granted!
Moreover, Huang Yi also received two long-term benefits: one was the acceptance of a world quest, and the other was the focused cultivation he would receive from the Oskan Royal Academy!
This was an unprecedented feat that far surpassed any previous announcents!
By now, everyone was aware of Huang Yi’s plan, but they knew it all too late! And monts before, they were still cursing Huang Yi, insulting him with all manner of vile language, labeling him a traitor to his country!
Just then, a vast voice once again filled the world—
"[System Announcent]: [God of Slaughter] contributes 6 National Honor Points, surpassing the requirent of 5 points, creating history, reaching the conditions for Na Bestowing, the bestowing of the na will include Attributes."
This announcent once again shocked the eardrums of the people!
Just a mont ago, countless people were calling Huang Yi a traitor, yet upon hearing this system announcent, they suddenly realized that Huang Yi had already contributed 6 National Honor Points! And so countries didn’t even have a single National Honor Point!
Six National Honor Points, a height that even skilled veterans like Dao Feng, Heavenly Dao, and the Pope, whose fa far exceeded Huang Yi’s, could only look up to but never reach!
At this mont, the expressions on the faces of the countless audience mbers were complex. They suddenly didn’t know how to face Huang Yi; those earlier insults now seed so shaful in retrospect, each word as if they were chastising themselves.
What made them feel even more uncomfortable was that Huang Yi never cursed at them from beginning to end; he calmly accepted their misunderstandings without getting angry.
"It turns out that the real thrilling contest is not in the final battle but at the award ceremony!" At that mont, Mr. Huang Huapeng, the award presenter, suddenly shook his head with a smile and sighed with emotion!
Indeed, this afternoon’s individual final was just a prelude directed by Huang Yi, at best it could be considered a lead-up, but this award ceremony was the climax of this great drama, where he won the biggest prize in one fell swoop!
Huang Huapeng approached the stunned Miyamoto Musashi, glanced at him with so sympathy, and then presented him with the champion’s 10 A-grade energy stones and three pieces of legendary equipnt.
Imdiately after, Huang Huapeng waved his hand and sent three orbs of light into Miyamoto Musashi’s body, causing him to emit three beams of golden light, leveling up three tis in an instant, reaching level 102!
Yet these three beams of golden light looked so dazzling at this mont; no matter how much he leveled up, he was still only the second person to reach level 100.
Often, only the first place holds aning; people will only rember Huang Yi as the first person to reach level 100.
At that mont, Mr. Huang Huapeng pinned a glittering five-pointed star dal to Miyamoto Musashi’s chest, the title of Martial Emperor, signifying he was the first-place winner in the individual competition!
But sotis, being first has no significance; whenever people recall this day, they will first rember Huang Yi, not the champion of the competition.
"Next, let us invite the individual competition champion, Miyamoto Musashi, to speak!" Just then, the host, following the ceremony’s routine, invited the champion Miyamoto Musashi to deliver his acceptance speech.
This mont was suddenly sowhat awkward; Miyamoto Musashi, who should have been happily giving his winner’s speech, now had a face ashen with anger, as if he had received sothing shaful.
He glanced at all the audience mbers and, in the end, his gaze settled on Huang Yi sitting aside, and he lanted with a sense of loss: "I never thought that I would win the competition but lose the future."
With that, he teleported away, as if he no longer wished to stay there any longer.
This left Huang Yi alone on the stage, facing the whole world by himself.
In the more than ten hours before, he had also been like this, in a dark and damp corner, facing the curses of the entire world.
And at this mont, he vindicated himself with a powerful counterstrike! From that dark and damp corner, he rose to this brightly lit stage, standing at the pinnacle of the world!
In the audience, countless people hung their heads in sha, as if the whole world was bowing before Huang Yi.
Yet so people looked at Huang Yi on the stage with excitent, feeling a deep admiration and pride from the bottom of their hearts!
These people were either criminals from Rose Prison or characters from the organization behind Huang Yi! They were also participants in this plan. Without their cooperation, Huang Yi alone couldn’t have carried out the plan; he was just a helmsman who oversaw the grand sche, while those at the bottom were the actual executors.
"I told you, didn’t I? Your brother never loses!" Just then, in so corner of the audience, a shapely woman wearing a mask proudly patted an adorable loli sitting beside her.
"But he suffered so much injustice!" At that mont, the cute little loli suddenly pouted her lips and began to cry, shedding two lines of tears as if to show sympathy for him.
"It can’t be helped; to achieve certain goals, he must stop at nothing and do so very despicable things, becoming a villain. This is rely the suffering of the virtual world. Who knows his true suffering?" Right then, the masked woman’s eyes also beca slightly moist, staring at Huang Yi who stood silently on the stage with concern.
Although he stood under countless spotlights, who knew the loneliness behind them?
"Mr. Miyamoto Musashi might have left early due to so matters, but regardless, winning a championship is indeed a great achievent. Rember, the ten billion people present were all competing for this championship!" The host, seeing Miyamoto Musashi leave, quickly made a save to smooth over the awkwardness.
With that, the female host—with her beautiful eyes—fixed her gaze on Huang Yi and shifted the topic, "Congratulations to Mr. Slaughter for becoming the first person to reach level 100. What are your thoughts at this mont?"
This remark suddenly drew the attention of the entire audience. According to the established procedure, the second-place winner would not give an acceptance speech, but Huang Yi was now an exception, his aura even more dazzling than the champion’s.
Huang Yi looked around at everyone, his gaze sweeping over each face, densely filling his entire line of sight. The room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with countless eyes locked on him, waiting for his next words.
Huang Yi pursed his lips and declared to the whole world, "I know many people around the world have suffered financial losses because of , so may have bet on , others might have bought shares in Hero Guild. Anyway, you can curse as you like, but I will not correct myself. I’m not a good person, I’m not Dao Feng, I am neither just nor bright, I have my own code of conduct. If it can achieve a just goal, I can employ unjust ans. This ti, I indeed made a lot of money, but I won’t enjoy a single cent of it; it will be used for a cause that and countless of my comrades are striving for. For that cause, I can stop at nothing, even if it ans facing universal condemnation, becoming a sinner of the world. Of course, you may not understand these words, so I’ll say sothing you do understand—mbers of Hero Guild, are you ready to collect your money?"
After speaking, he gave a slight bow to the audience and imdiately teleported away, leaving behind a crowd of spectators looking at each other in bewildernt.
Many people indeed didn’t understand the forr part of Huang Yi’s speech, but the last part, they understood.
That statent was clearly in reference to the fundraising event that had caused such a stir.
During these past ten-plus hours, countless people thought that Huang Yi and Qin Shiyu, among other senior figures, had fled with the money, and so had even called the police.
But Huang Yi’s last statent indicated a return of the funds and that there had been no deceit.
