Chapter 281

In Zhenwu Academy, the final final was extremely fierce.

The few remaining geniuses showed their talents and went all out.

Ye Qingshuang was the first to lose. She fought Yao Yufei, but unfortunately she was a few years younger than her, and she hadn't stepped into the king's realm yet, so she lost regrettably.

Although she was defeated, her performance in the battle was remarkable, and the battle between the two beauties was also extremely eye-catching.

When Ye Qingshuang was defeated, many people cheered for her.

After that, there was a battle between kings and tigers, and the top schools of the major holy places and holy sects showed their faces at the grand meeting one after another, causing bursts of exclamation.

In the end, Qi Zeyan and Feng Jiuqian competed for the first place in the event!

Feng Jiuqian unleashed the Nine Thousand Glazed Light Sword Formation, covering every corner of the arena like a meteor shower.

Qi Zeyan was even more amazed, one person with one sword, walking in the light and rain like a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, stunned to break Feng Jiuqian's spells one by one with superb swordsmanship.

In the end, he won Feng Jiuqian within 50 rounds, and won the first place in this year's event between the two houses.

When the results came out, the audience of nearly 300,000 in the entire square was completely erupted, and countless people shouted Qi Zeyan's name!

"congratulation."

The defeated Feng Jiuqian said to Qi Zeyan with a complicated expression.

Qi Zeyan just nodded his head with a dull expression, it seemed that winning the highest honor of this grand event did not cause much ripples in his heart.

Not only him, but many people in the audience also secretly regretted it.

"It's a pity, I always feel that something is missing in this year's finals."

Someone said this, and many audience members nodded.

Although the competition is still fierce and the battles of the geniuses are exciting, compared to the one who caused an uproar a few days ago, it seems that there are a few less reasons to make people excited...

The vice presidents of the two colleges jointly announced the overall ranking of this year's event, and rewarded outstanding students.

Afterwards, all the eyes of the audience focused on the VIP seats, the old and the young with elegant demeanor.

The great Confucianist Shen Xudong and the prince Ji Zefang walked up to the high platform side by side, and were about to announce the students who had won the Emperor's Grace Award.

This is the biggest suspense of this grand event. Compared with the honors given by the two major academies, the gold content of the Emperor's Grace Award is higher.

So, as soon as the two of them stepped onto the stage, all the students in the square became solemn, and quite a few looked expectant in their eyes.

The selection criteria for the Emperor's Grace Award have been stated at the beginning, regardless of status or cultivation, only the most talented young people will be selected!

This means that even if Qi Zeyan won the first place in the event, he may not be able to win this award, after all, his age does not have an advantage among the geniuses.

This gave many geniuses full of hope. As long as they can win the Emperor's Grace Award, there will be no regrets in this grand event!

"Which genius do you think the National Teacher and the Crown Prince will award the Emperor's Grace to?"

The 300,000 spectators at the scene had a lively discussion.

"In my opinion, it must be Qi Zeyan. He is the number one player in the conference, and his strength and talent are beyond doubt!"

"I don't think so. In terms of talent, I am more optimistic about Chen Buqi. Although he was eliminated in the semi-finals, he is the youngest among the kings, only seventeen years old. In addition, I heard that he was in the The talent in crafting is also outstanding, but this is a dual purpose, the talent is simply too terrifying!"

"Hey, my opinion is different from all of you. I think that Ye Qingshuang has a good chance. Although she is not in the king realm, considering that she is a martial saint, she is young, and she performed so well in the conference. She even had an epiphany during the battle. , is really the proud daughter of heaven."

"Ye Qingshuang is impossible. She is seventeen years old like Chen Buqi, right? But she is not yet in the king realm! I think Chen Buqi is more likely!"

"Hey, I don't care about Chen Buqi's background, and Ye Qingshuang's background. If Ye Qingshuang had the resources of Chen Buqi, how could Ye Qingshuang lose to him?"

The audience discussed it passionately, and even argued about it.

Everyone has their own genius in their hearts, and they can't convince each other at all.

"Master Shen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that this emperor's reward is not easy to give out, no matter who it is given to, some people will be dissatisfied."

Deputy Dean Qi heard the debates in the room, and smiled to the two people on the high platform.

"Talent is really too difficult to measure. Each family has its own basis for judgment. This matter is really difficult."

Many distinguished guests present also shook their heads. Even they could not reach a unified opinion.

"Everyone can rest assured that the criteria for judging the Emperor's Grace Award are absolutely fair and just."

Ji Zefang smiled and said, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by the audience.

Immediately, the audience fell silent.

"His Royal Highness, it's time to award awards, can you tell me how the selection was made this time?"

asked the vice president of Miaofa Academy.

Ji Zefang nodded, "That's natural. We will be open and honest about the selection process, so that everyone will be convinced and have no objections."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Xudong and made a gesture of invitation.

Shen Xudong cleared his throat, and spoke carefully to the 300,000 spectators.

"As of today, the event has lasted for half a month."

"The Emperor's Grace Award selects the most talented young people. The so-called talent is the highest. Everyone's understanding is different. If a small number of people make the selection, it will definitely be unfair."

"Therefore, as the old man said at the beginning of the event, everyone here is a judge of the Emperor's Grace Award!"

"In the past half a month, spies sent by the court have conducted investigations in Zhenwu Academy, interviewing teachers, students, and audiences."

"This visit was conducted quietly. The selected personnel were completely random and not targeted. From these populations, the people with the highest talents in their hearts for this grand event were obtained."

Many audience members couldn't help but nod frequently after hearing this.

"I see. Although this method is cumbersome, it is fair. The minority obeys the majority, and the person who is considered the most talented by the most people will naturally cause the least controversy."

"Ah, now that I've said that, I remembered that a stranger did ask me this question in the college before, and I didn't think about the reason at that time."

The audience murmured, more interested now.

Who will be the person with the highest talent recognized by the most people?

"Master Shen, hurry up and announce who is the recipient of the Emperor's Grace. It seems that everyone can't wait."

Vice President Qi smiled.

Shen Xudong nodded, took out a jade slip from his sleeve robe, opened it, and read out.

"According to the joint statistics of many secret agents of the imperial court, on the question of who is the most amazing talent at this grand event, there is one person whose name has won as much as 70% of the approval rate!"

"His name is—Chen Gu!"
