Chapter Seventy-Six: The Champion
When Robertson heard Xin Lone's words, his eyes immediately widened with anger and he reacted violently. However, his virtual avatar was completely destroyed, he couldn't move, his throat was choked with blood, he couldn't even speak, and his distorted body struggled a few times, and suddenly shook and died.
Xin was stunned, was he angry with his own words?
He fought dozens of martial arts matches, and it was the first time he had killed his opponent's virtual avatar, but fortunately it was only in the virtual world and had no effect on the player's real body.
In the course of this year's Star Cup, it is not uncommon for the virtual avatar to be killed, Roberson relied on his strength, and there were no less than ten opponents who died in his hands.
As soon as Robertson died, even the referee didn't have to go on stage, and the host directly announced the victory of Xin Lin directly behind the scenes.
"The champion of the first year-old star cup martial arts tournament has been born, and that is Xin ...... from Hongqiao Sports Company Lonely ......"
The host pronounced Xin Lone's name again and longer, and as soon as the voice fell, a series of fireworks salutes were launched from the periphery of the venue, and the colorful and bizarre fireworks soared into the sky, these fireworks are only three-dimensional image effects, but they are more gorgeous than the real fireworks, deafening, and at the same time, countless ribbons and fragments fell from the sky, flying all over the sky, and the excellent three-dimensional holographic effect made the entire venue shrouded in an atmosphere of fanatical celebration.
Hundreds of millions of viewers uniformly called Xin Lone's name: "Xin Lone! Silence! Silence! Silence ......"
"Champion! Champion! Champion! β
"Champion." Xin Si silently chanted, with a faint smile on his face, and waved to the audience in all directions in the ring, and when he turned in whichever direction, the audience in that direction would set off a warm cheer and respond to him.
At this moment, Xin Lin is the only focus of this venue and hundreds of virtual venues, and hundreds of millions of spectators are shouting for the champion, devoting themselves to venting their inner emotions.
However, Xin Shi's heart was extremely calm, and he said secretly: "This championship is just the first step, and there is still a long way to go." β
Amid the shouts of the audience, the host came to the stage to conduct a final interview with Xin Lian.
As in the previous post-match interview, Xin answered a few questions in a regular manner, such as his thoughts on the battle, thanks to the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce for hosting the Star Cup, and most importantly, thanks to the audience for their support, etc., even if they were all clichΓ©d questions, they still attracted bursts of applause.
Until the last question, the host asked: "Mr. Xin Lone, everyone knows that you are a junior samurai, without being favored, you stood out from the selection competition as a dark horse, swept the opponent in the knockout round, and counterattacked many powerful opponents in the final, won all the way, and finally won the championship, achieving such an incredible feat!" What do you think of your martial arts experience this time, or what do you feel about our countless viewers? β
Xin Silent groaned for a moment and replied, "No one is optimistic about me, so I am optimistic about myself." Anything is possible. β
The host was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xin Lin to say such a short and memorable word, and the venue was quiet for a second, and then thunderous cheers and applause broke out.
"Thank you for your wonderful answer, congratulations again." The host deeply remembered the extremely confident man in front of him, thinking that this interview might be the most important moment in his career.
Xin Xiao nodded, and the virtual world around him changed.
In the blink of an eye, the ring turned into a podium, and dozens of figures appeared on the stage, including the top eight players and company representatives, the leaders of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce in charge of awarding the awards, President Li Xingmin and other vice presidents, the chief consul of Europa, the mayor of Silver Frost City, guests from all walks of life, and members of the jury and so on.
Lian Chengbi also arrived at the podium, and she walked towards Xin Lin with a happy face and gave Xin Lin a warm hug. Even though she knew something about Xin Lian's strength and was mentally prepared for it, when Xin Lin really won the championship, she was still a little incredulous, for fear that it was just a dream.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Lian Chengbi let go of Xin Silence and laughed in a low voice, "Congratulations, Mr. Champion!" β
"Congratulations, the company has received the biggest reward." Xin Lin replied with a smile, the champion has a bonus of 50 million, which is enough for him to use for a long time, and there should be no more pressure to take out a loan in the short term, so he is also in a happy mood.
Lian Chengbi nodded, she was already planning how the company should make good use of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce's rewards.
The crowd next to him gradually gathered around, centered on Xin Lone, constantly congratulating him on winning the championship, or coming up to talk, wanting to show his face in front of this rising star and make friends.
Xin Lonely coped with them one by one, neither too cold and rejecting people thousands of miles away, nor too enthusiastic to make people feel that they were easy to get close to and keep a certain distance from others.
During the conversation, Xin Silence telepathically swept away, and noticed that Roberson not far from the crowd was staring at him gloomily, his gaze was extremely unkind, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
Anyone could see the resentment in Roberson's heart, no one wanted to provoke him, everyone was far away, and some of them were secretly pointing fingers, quite gloating.
Because Robertson has an arrogant personality, does not know how to restrain, and never keeps his hands in the ring, many opponents have been beaten badly by him, so he has offended many people. At this time, there were two quarter-finalists in the ring who were defeated by Robertson, and it was very unpleasant to look at him.
But at this time, Robertson only had bitterness in his eyes, and he didn't care about anyone else at all.
Robertson has been seen as the favourite to win the tournament since he entered the competition, and he himself thought that the winner was in his hands, but he actually capsized in the gutter in the final battle, losing to a junior samurai! If it was a near defeat, forget it, but he lost too ugly, the scene was miserable, and Xin Lone's series of violent blows made him feel trembling all over his body when he thought about it now, and the pain was not stopping, almost leaving a psychological shadow, which was a great shame!
Roberson felt not only physical pain, but also psychological pain.
This failure will stay with him for the rest of his life, and if it is not washed away, it will become a stain on him forever!
Xin Lin turned his head and glanced at Roberson lightly, there was no emotional change in his eyes, and he didn't seem to care about Roberson's hostility at all.
Somehow, under the calm gaze of Xin's silent calm, Robertson remembered the painful experience of being brutalized just now, and there was a trace of cowardice in his heart. He subconsciously turned his gaze away, not daring to look at Xin Lin again.
Xin Lin smiled contemptuously and ignored him.
At this time, a beautiful and delicate figure appeared on the podium, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the glory of the championship was covered up, and it was inconspicuous in the crowd.
She is none other than the Bingyuan Martial Saint Fang Linchan, the chairman of the judging panel of the Star Cup Martial Arts Competition.
It was the first time in his life that Xin Lin had such close contact with a martial saint, even in the virtual world, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, he was cautious, and withdrew his telepathy at the first time and turned it off completely.
In fact, the moment Fang Linchan appeared, Xin Lone's telepathy still detected some information a little.
In Xin Lone's perception, the first impression given to him by this Ice Abyss Martial Saint was cold!
A chill emanated from her body, and it was less than a tenth of a second of contact, but it made Xin Silence feel a shiver from the bottom of her heart, and even her thoughts were frozen for a moment, as if standing in front of her was not a human at all, but a huge iceberg that had existed for hundreds of millions of years. This terrifying iceberg is made entirely of the Frozen Force, as vast as the sea and unfathomable, and the power contained within it is as majestic as a mountain when only a corner is exposed.
Xin Xiao quietly exhaled a breath of cold air, dispelled the chill in his heart, and secretly thought: "The strength of the Martial Saint is too terrifying, it is not something I can speculate about now, the Ice Abyss Martial Saint should not have noticed my telepathy." β
So far, Xin Lin has not encountered anyone who can detect telepathy, and the generals definitely can't, he has just secretly probed several generals of the Judges, and they are no different from others.
As for whether the martial saint can discover telepathy, Xin Xiao can't be sure, and he doesn't dare to test it anymore.
Fang Linchan was the person with the highest status present, the president of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce and the consul of Europa immediately greeted her, with a very respectful attitude, Fang Linchan seemed very easy-going, her eyes swept over everyone on the podium, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, but when she saw Xin Lone, her eyes paused slightly, and she nodded invisibly, expressing her recognition of Xin Lone.
When everyone on the stage saw this, they couldn't help but be very envious of Xin Lonely.
This is a martial saint, the top powerhouse of the Federation, if she takes a fancy to her, it will be just around the corner.
Only Robertson was very upset, clenching his fists tightly, which should have been my honor, but now it has been snatched away.
The award ceremony began.
Under the guidance of Miss Etiquette, the eight contestants stood in a row, Xin Lin and Roberson stood in the middle, at this time Robertson could only force a smile no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't want to lose face in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, let alone make a mistake in front of the martial saint, and tried his best to pretend to be a glorious bearing.
One by one, the contestants climbed the half-meter-high podium and were awarded medals by the president of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce. The medals are extremely well made, made of expensive and rare alloys, bright silver, with the names of the contestants and the emblem of the Martial Arts Tournament engraved on them, and are so hard that they are extremely difficult to break, and the medals themselves are worth a lot of money.
This is in the virtual world, and the medals are also virtual items, but they are only used to present awards, and the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce gives the exact same medals to the top eight players in reality.
Xin Lin was the last to take the stage to accept the award, and what was surprising was that the Ice Abyss Martial Saint was personally responsible for presenting the award to the champion, and instead of a medal, a trophy with a unique shape!
The golden trophy attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was unveiled, its height was about forty centimeters, and a pure gold arm stretched out from the round base, the end palm was clenched, only the index finger was raised and facing upward, and above the fingertips was a model of Jupiter, constantly rotating, and the four major Galilean moons were impressively in the column, revolving around Jupiter.
This is the Star Cup!
Fang Linchan took the New Year's Star Cup, the whole person floated lightly and was level with Xin Lone, handed the trophy to Xin Lone, and said with a smile: "Good job, continue to work hard in the future, don't waste your talent, and look forward to you going further." β
"Thank you for your teachings." Xin Lin took the trophy, held it high above his head, and displayed it in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.
Suddenly, countless spectators cheered and shouted neatly again: "Champion! Champion ......"
