"We are champions!"
"Teacher Wuming is not only a role model for us young martial artists, but also the pride of the younger generation in China's martial arts community!"
"Teacher Wuming is so cool, I want to have his babies!"
As the battle concluded, in the auditorium of the Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy, almost all the students cheered with raised arms, their voices so loud they seemed ready to blow off the roof.
Only two people were exceptions.
Luo Yu and Ye Qian.
Due to personal grudges, they did not cheer for everything Jiang Wuming had done, instead being drowned out by the cheers.
Hearing the deafening cheers and looking at the intensely excited students, Luo Yu was filled with hatred and jealousy.
Hatred, because Jiang Wuming had once trampled the Luo family to the ground to help Xing Tian, leaving Luo Yu and his family with no face!
Jealousy, because Luo Yu felt that compared to Jiang Wuming, he, the so-called genius of Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy, was like the difference between China's men's and women's football teams – a world of difference!
It wasn't just Luo Yu; Ye Qian felt the same.
At the same time, she couldn't understand how her proud brother had been so obedient to Jiang Wuming during the competition.
"If only Teacher Wuming was a teacher at our Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy!"
"Yeah, why didn't I enroll in Dong Hai Martial Arts Academy back then? I regret it so much!"
Some students, in their excitement, also felt some regret that they hadn't enrolled in Dong Hai Martial Arts Academy.
...
The cheers in the auditorium of Dong Hai Martial Arts Academy were even louder than those at Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy.
Besides the students, some teachers were also cheering with raised arms.
Even Xia Xueqin, who was usually cold and reserved, was cheering loudly for Jiang Wuming.
Xia Dong even jumped onto a table, shaking his flat butt and cheering wildly.
In contrast, Huangfu Weixia, who was usually unrestrained, did not shout. She sat in her seat, her eyes misty as she stared at the photo that was destined to be remembered on the live broadcast.
"Big Bear, why are you crying?"
After shouting with excitement for a few times, Chu Feng saw Huangfu Weixia sitting there and crying, and asked with some confusion.
"I'm just too excited."
Huangfu Weixia said, half-truthfully and half-falsely.
She was indeed excited, but also felt some regret, regretting that she couldn't fight alongside Jiang Wuming.
Besides, when Jiang Wuming was severely injured and surrounded by Zorro and his men, unable to move, Huangfu Weixia had blamed herself in her heart.
She blamed herself for not being outstanding enough, and for not working hard enough.
Otherwise, she would have had a chance to appear in the competition and protect Jiang Wuming, just like Ye Kunlun and others!
"If you're excited, shout it out! Why are you crying!"
Chu Feng, unable to see through Huangfu Weixia's thoughts, said.
"Right!"
Huangfu Weixia wiped away her tears, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "The man I like is awesome!"
Chu Feng: "???"
Swish swish swish...
Immediately, the cheers in the auditorium gradually subsided. Teachers and students alike cast their gazes towards Huangfu Weixia.
Among them, some girls' eyes were filled with resentment, as if to say: What do you mean, the man *you* like? He's the man *I* like too!
"Um... well, to celebrate Teacher Wuming leading the genius team of the China delegation to win the championship, we'll have a celebration tonight. All expenses will be covered by Young Master Chu!"
Seeing this, Chu Feng spoke to help Huangfu Weixia out of the awkward situation.
"Roar!!"
Chu Feng successfully diverted everyone's attention, and the auditorium once again erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
This time, the Roman family, in conjunction with Crown Betting Company, had set up an astonishing odds, with an incredible betting volume.
Although almost all the teachers and students present had placed bets, it was far from comparable to Young Master Chu.
After all, Chu Wansong had even bet half of the Chu family's assets and made a fortune, so Young Master Chu was full of confidence!
...
Su City, Su Group Headquarters.
"Wuming, you're amazing!!"
In the office, Su Shiyun jumped up from the sofa with excitement, completely different from her usual composed, calm, and capable strong woman persona.
Traces of tears still lingered on her face, but there was no trace of worry, only excitement!
For her, who was an outsider to martial arts, watching today's match was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with worry, anxiety, excitement, and elation, as if her mood was on a roller coaster between heaven and hell.
Unlike Su Shiyun, Dongfang Xiaoyao, who was beside her, was very quiet.
This wasn't because she wasn't excited, but because she had already been excited.
When Jiang Wuming killed Sean, she had been excited.
When Jiang Wuming hid for six hours with Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He, and then massacred Zorro and his men, Dongfang Xiaoyao had also trembled with excitement, her eyes red.
From that moment on, she had regained her composure.
Because she knew that the subsequent matches would be a foregone conclusion!
...
Some were happy, some were sad.
While martial artists across China were excited and cheering for Jiang Wuming's actions, martial artists from Europe, the North American Alliance, Japan, Africa, and other countries and regions felt as if they had eaten shit, and were as uncomfortable as could be.
Not only did they witness the martial arts geniuses of their respective countries and regions being crushed by Jiang Wuming, but they also lost a lot of money in the astonishing gambling matches.
As all this happened, Jiang Wuming and Ye Kunlun and the others had already boarded a helicopter and left the island, returning to the military base in Liverpool.
At the military base, only Zhujian, Shen Zui, and a representative from the City of Sin were present. Representatives from all other countries and regions had left.
Their participating contestants had all died, and there was no point in staying except to feel humiliated.
"Wuming, Kunlun, Ye Feng, Yuan He, you did brilliantly!"
As the helicopter landed, Zhujian stepped forward first to congratulate Jiang Wuming and the other three, and at the same time, he solemnly saluted the four of them as martial artists.
As for Gu Tianlong...
He was completely ignored by Zhujian!
In fact, if there had been no outsiders present, he would have severely reprimanded Gu Tianlong – everything Gu Tianlong had done during the competition was the only stain on the China delegation's performance in this competition!
"Director Zhu, this is what we should do."
Jiang Wuming responded to Zhujian on behalf of the four of them, and also returned a martial artist's salute to Zhujian.
"Little Junior Brother, Big Senior Brother gives you a thumbs up!"
Shen Zui also walked over, as usual, with a gourd hanging from his waist, and gave Jiang Wuming a thumbs up.
Jiang Wuming smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Shen Zui did not continue to interact with Jiang Wuming but walked towards another helicopter to welcome Qi Tian and Caroline.
Although he was Jiang Wuming's senior brother, he had now joined the Underworld Palace and was representing the Underworld Palace this time!
"Qi Tian, do you still dare to question my Little Junior Brother?"
Shen Zui asked Qi Tian with a smile.
"Lord Shen Zui, are you trying to poison me?!"
Qi Tian's face was as dark as a pot lid.
Shen Zui then said to Caroline, "Caroline, you did brilliantly."
"???"
Qi Tian felt ten thousand alpacas stampeding in his heart.
Because, logic told him that Shen Zui was praising Caroline for exposing Qi Tian's lie during the competition!
"Thank you, Lord Shen Zui."
Caroline smiled slightly and then said, "Lord Shen Zui, could you ask your Little Junior Brother Jiang Wuming to come over for a moment? I want to talk to him about a deal."
"A deal?"
Shen Zui raised his eyebrows in confusion, then glanced at Caroline, and finally nodded.
Half a minute later, Jiang Wuming walked over and asked directly, "Miss Caroline, what deal do you want to talk to me about?"
"Lord Jiang Wuming, after you receive the competition reward – that set of spiritual domain cultivation techniques – would you be willing to exchange a copied version for a spiritual domain attack secret method?" Caroline asked, getting straight to the point.
"Caroline, are you crazy?!"
Before Jiang Wuming could reply, Qi Tian's face changed, and he angrily rebuked Caroline.
"Idiot, this is the Hall Master's order!"
Caroline said coldly, "In other words, the Hall Master never expected you and me to win the championship and get the reward. Instead, he had high hopes for Jiang Wuming winning the championship even before the competition!"
"Wh... what?!"
Qi Tian immediately froze in place, his heart almost collapsing: So, the clown was me all along.
"No problem."
Jiang Wuming's eyes lit up.
Currently, besides lacking cultivation techniques for the spiritual domain, he was also lacking in spiritual domain attack secret methods!
If he obtained both these techniques, his combat power would be further enhanced!
