Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Raising the Curtain

Wang Cheng, upon hearing this rule change, cracked a smile.

Because he had always sneered at those bootlickers, beneath his notice.

He felt that participating in the Snow Lotus Conference under such circumstances was utterly meaningless.

But now, with the rules altered, those people would find it impossible to cozy up to the powerful.

This made the Snow Lotus Conference much fairer!

"Ha-ha, great change to the rules, I like it!"

Wang Cheng grinned and whispered.

Those competitors around him who had harbored thoughts of relying on the strong cast hostile glances at Wang Cheng.

Clearly, in their eyes, Wang Cheng was taking pleasure in their misfortune.

They had already resolved that once the conference began, they would teach Wang Cheng a lesson.

However, Wang Cheng didn’t care about that in the slightest.

"Above are the changes to the rules of this conference. Next, I will be continuing with the announcement of changes to the conference rewards!"

Mo Feiyan said with a smile.

As soon as she spoke, everyone present, including Su Can, Tang Long, and Ming Yan, turned their gaze towards Mo Feiyan.

Obviously, the conference rewards were of the utmost interest to everyone.

Chen Feng also looked toward Mo Feiyan because it was what he cared about the most.

Sensing the eager eyes of the crowd, Mo Feiyan pursed her lips with a smile, then spoke:

"As everyone knows, in previous Snow Lotus Conferences, only the ultimate victor would receive a reward. However, this year, to encourage all the participants, our Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect, as the organizer, has decided to revise the reward mechanism!"

"Let’s start with the final victor’s prize! The primary rewards remain the same as before: one Foundation Establishment Pill, a set of Earth Rank lower-tier Martial Arts, and a High-Grade Spiritual Artifact! These are consistent with the past, which I’m sure you all know."

"The most significant change concerns the Snow Lotus, which everyone cares about the most! Previously, in addition to the aforementioned prizes, the champion would also receive a Hundred-year-old Snow Lotus as a special reward."

"There’s no need to elaborate on the importance of the Snow Lotus for Cultivation, but this year, to stimulate the participants’ enthusiasm, our Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect will upgrade this reward. The prize will no longer be a Hundred-year-old Snow Lotus, but a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!"

Whoa!

With these words, the entire place immediately erupted into excitement!

A Hundred-year-old Snow Lotus was already an extremely rare treasure, with significant effects whether for healing or for cultivation.

And this Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was acclaimed as one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a spiritual medicine scarce in this world, incredibly precious for cultivators, with immeasurable benefits to cultivation.

Even an Ancient Martial Sect like the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect regarded it as the Treasure of the Sect.

Whenever a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus appeared on the market, it would inevitably trigger a scramble among the major powers, highlighting its significance.

Before this Snow Lotus Conference began, the various sects also caught wind of the possibility that the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect would offer a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus as the prize.

Although these were merely unsubstantiated rumors, their veracity dubious, they still drew serious attention from all the major sects, who hurriedly sent their geniuses to compete.

Originally, some sects were not particularly interested in the Snow Lotus Conference, but this time they dispatched their geniuses as well.

This was also why the participants in this conference were the strongest yet, as they aimed to seize the so-called Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.

And now, Mo Feiyan had personally confirmed that the reward was indeed a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.

This made everyone instantly excited.

Even for Su Can, Tang Long, and Ming Yan, these three paragons of their generation, a fervent glint flashed in their eyes.

Clearly, the allure of the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was immense for them too!

However, upon hearing this, Chen Feng frowned and pondered, "Is it only this year’s prize that is the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus?"

But on second thought, it made sense, given how precious the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was, if the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect gave one away every year, even with their profound resources, they would probably bleed their hearts dry.

By contrast, the Hundred-year-old Snow Lotus seemed to not be as precious. noveldrama

It seemed like he had really timed it right, just as the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect upgraded their reward, he happened to participate in this edition of the Snow Lotus Conference.

It had to be said, this was all fate!

With these thoughts, Chen Feng became even more grateful to Xu Long, because without him, he would have missed out on this golden opportunity.

Now, all he needed to do was spare no effort and sprint towards the championship, and then he could obtain the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.

As for the other prizes, Chen Feng had not yet taken them to heart.

Feeling the boiling atmosphere of the crowd, Mo Feiyan continued, "Of course, to incentivize the other competitors, aside from the ultimate winner, this year’s Snow Lotus Conference will also provide generous rewards for the second and third place, so please, give it your all, competitors!"

The moment these words were spoken, the eyes of the competitors lit up.

One must know that in previous Snow Lotus Conferences, only the ultimate winner, that is, the first-place finisher, would receive a reward.

So, most had come just to make it onto the Genius List.

But now, with the second and third place also receiving rewards, this undeniably ignited the fighting spirit of all the competitors present, everyone was ready to give it their all!

Seeing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently stirred, Mo Feiyan turned her head to look towards Tian Bing, nodded slightly, and then retreated to the side.

Tian Bing stepped forward, looked at the crowd and said:

"The new rules are roughly as such. Before the official start of the Snow Lotus Conference, I have another announcement to make. This year, a disciple from our Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect will also participate in the Snow Lotus Conference. Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will not reveal her identity for now. I will inform everyone after the event has concluded!"

"Alright, now I announce that the Snow Lotus Conference officially begins. Please, competitors, come forward to receive the Heavenly Mountain Token, then enter the competition area!"

Upon hearing this, the competitors couldn’t care less about speculating who it might be and hurriedly went forward to receive the Heavenly Mountain Token.

Tian Bing waved his sleeve towards the crowd, and suddenly, a snowflake-shaped token appeared in each of their hands.

Chen Feng turned the token over in his hand.

The token was about the size of a palm, entirely blue, resembling an enlarged snowflake, and rather cool to the touch.

Beyond that, there was nothing else notable about it.

"Enter the teleportation array and start the competition!"

Tian Bing pointed towards the massive teleportation array at the front of the square and spoke to the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the competitors all headed towards the teleportation array.

After everyone had entered the teleportation array, Tian Bing gently waved his hand.

Suddenly, the teleportation array burst into blinding blue light, and at once, all the people inside disappeared from sight.

These competitors would be scattered by the teleportation array, then randomly dropped into some corner of Snow Lotus Mountain.

And with this, the grand Snow Lotus Conference officially began!
