Volume 7, Chapter 9 – Professional Tournament

A competition.

But what did that have to do with her being a prize?

‘No matter what, I’m the dignified leader of Dawn, a Throne-tier powerhouse. Why are you selling me off without hesitation while acting like it’s only natural, hey!?’

While feeling confused, Tianyin also looked at Xingyu Muxi with an asking gaze.

Facing Tianyin’s questioning and doubtful look, Xingyu Muxi smiled slightly.

“Because if Xiaoyin is the prize, then when the time comes, those outsiders can very reasonably see Xiaoyin. And when that happens, won’t Xiaoyin’s goal be achieved?”

“Mm…”

Hold a competition among outsiders, meaning players?

After hearing Xingyu Muxi, Tianyin lowered her head and began to think.

Admittedly, as Sister Xiaomu said, they could use the chance of holding a competition to temporarily gather everyone’s focus here. And through the proper reason of a competition, secretly activate Lust’s ability. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“Mm… if it’s like this, it really is a more feasible method. At least on the surface I don’t need to do anything embarrassing…”

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Tianyin came to that conclusion.

That’s right.

Holding a competition among players inside Dawn, Tianyin could agree to that.

After all, it really was beneficial to Tianyin right now, and it was far better than messy methods like taking photo sets from before.

Of course, Tianyin also knew what an unruly group players were, but she still had the confidence to suppress those unruly players.

So after considering everything, Tianyin ultimately felt they could hold this competition.

“So I can use the name of the competition to complete the Original Sin power?”

Thinking like that, Tianyin felt even more certain it was workable.

“Sister Xiaomu, I mostly agree with the competition method, but how exactly are we going to hold it?”

Agreeing was one thing, but Tianyin still wanted to fully understand how it would be carried out.

But since Sister Xiaomu had already proposed such a method, Tianyin also knew Sister Xiaomu should have her own preparations.

And in fact, it was pretty much exactly as Tianyin expected.

“I’ve actually already been arranging it. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days the news that Dawn is going to hold a tournament will be spread out. So next, Xiaoyin, you just need to obediently be the prize~”

“Pfft… What prize!”

“It’s using Xiaoyin as the champion’s prize~”

What answered Tianyin was the girl’s matter-of-fact tone.

And since they’d already decided to hold a tournament in Dawn, next Tianyin also began her own preparations.

First was the tournament venue.

For the publicity, Xingyu Muxi had already guaranteed it. After all, in the real world, Xingyu Muxi’s status wasn’t something ordinary people could have, and with Xingyu Muxi’s background and identity, spreading the news that Dawn would be holding a tournament was an easy matter.

And in the game world, Tianyin began taking responsibility for building the competition venue within Dawn.

Of course, Tianyin wouldn’t do something brainless like just building a venue. All this work was being carried out in an orderly way under Xingyu Muxi’s personal direction.

A few days later, the news that a tournament would be held within Dawn’s borders in the Subworld began spreading. And under Xingyu Muxi’s deliberate or unintentional pushing, the news spread more and more intensely, until it even “alarmed” the game’s officials.

On the second day, shocked players discovered that on the game’s official website, an announcement about the Subworld holding its first player professional tournament was placed in the most prominent spot. Not only that, it also listed the rules and rewards for this tournament.

“First Professional Tournament.”

“Players of various tiers will compete on different arenas. And the strongest player will obtain the title of strongest for that tier. Note: the title has real effects of bonus attributes.”

“Likewise, on the Life Skill side, there will also be corresponding competitions. And players who obtain the strongest Life Skill strength will also obtain the strongest title, with the title effect being to increase the level of Life Skills.”

“Of course… it’s not only title rewards. After winning, the player who obtains the title will receive the honor of being personally granted an extra reward by Dawn’s lord, the Throne-tier Tianyin.”

The announcement about the tournament appearing on the game’s homepage stirred up a huge commotion in just a few minutes.

Countless players were itching to try, eager to give it a shot. At the same time, countless players, after learning this news, had eyes flickering as they thought about something.

But without a doubt, the information that Dawn would hold a professional tournament was real.

“Hahaha, today I’m going to Dawn to participate in this professional tournament and claim the title of strongest of my tier!”

Many players were brimming with fighting spirit, and the moment they received the news, they rushed without stopping onto the teleportation array leading to Dawn’s border, the Northern Fortress.

And while the players in the real world were in an uproar, the one who also received the news… was the one who had just ended the war with Andrew, who had inherited the Academy’s Throne-tier arcane power.

Although peace had been restored within the kingdom, the planning during the earlier purge of the holy knights had also left behind huge hidden troubles.

And after reaching a ceasefire with Andrew, Yunchou also planned to “recuperate” for a period of time.

But just as Yunchou was planning to rest properly, a piece of news reached Yunchou’s ears as he had just returned to Storm City to rest.

“It’s actually a professional tournament.”

After learning this news, Yunchou’s expression gradually turned gloomy.

Luckily, there was no one around Yunchou right now, so even if Yunchou looked like he was dead, no one in all of Storm City saw it.

At this moment, Yunchou was staying in his room, both hands behind his back with fingers tightly clenched, his gaze extremely dark.

“Seven Original Sins… gathered so quickly? I have to say, this speed is quite a bit faster than the fastest one before… sure enough, whether I interfere or not, what’s meant to come will come sooner or later…”

At this point, Yunchou closed his eyes and didn’t continue.

And after a long silence, Yunchou finally let out a long breath of turbid air.

“Even though Tianyin’s progress in this life is twice as fast as those earlier ones… this is actually the best chance.”

“The longer the time, the bigger the changes. And in the fastest life, we were also just a little away from breaking free… so this time being fast, even if it’s a bit fast, isn’t this timing also a very suitable timing?”

No one could understand what the always powerful and mysterious Yunchou was muttering to himself.

But… if you only looked at his expression, you could see that the gloomy look from just now had already vanished.

Replacing it was a slightly relaxed and casual expression.
