Chapter 1137 - 95: Distribution of Rewards

"Announcing the sequence ranking: Sequence Number 1 Wen Yu, Sequence Number 2 Tang Haofei, Sequence Number 3 Lin Haifeng, Sequence Number 4 Qin Tian, Sequence Number 5 Kasu, Sequence Number 6 Fran, Sequence Number 7 Qin Min, Sequence Number 8 Vila, Sequence Number 9 Lan Bo, Sequence Number 10 Vincent..."

"Rewards will be distributed uniformly in 10 minutes, please get ready, members of the sequence."

Just as the Golden Armor finished speaking, accompanied by one flash of light after another, the ranks who had just run out of the Million Victories Arena were all pulled back by the power of teleportation.

They looked at Tang Haofei, who was still collapsed on the ground below, and Wen Yu standing beside him pouring healing potion on Old Tang’s wound, with complex expressions and stirred emotions.

Tang Haofei’s strength was well-known among the sequence members, yet now, on this stage, Tang Haofei was cleanly and swiftly resolved by Wen Yu, which really took everyone by surprise.

At this moment, faced with this scene, they could only look up at the sky, lamenting with words like "times have changed," without making any other reflections.

In fact, Wen Yu obtaining the title of the strongest might not necessarily be a bad thing for others—regardless of whether they have seen Tang Two’s rotten behavior, they’ve heard about it. Wen Yu definitely shouldn’t be worse than Tang Two, right? Well, probably not...

However, people always change, especially after gaining power and finding oneself at the top of the food chain, in a position that no one can control...

No one can clearly say what the future holds.

The grand momentum now rests on Wen Yu’s shoulders. In the eyes of others, they only see the Sequence Number 1 who crushed Tang Haofei, but Wen Yu indeed knows his own struggles.

Just now in the ring, there was no time to think; now that the battle has been won and the reward is about to be received, Wen Yu realized his recent performance definitely wasn’t great...

He should have "fought fiercely with Tang Haofei for eight hundred rounds to determine the winner," rather than showing overwhelming power; after this, he may become a thorn in someone’s side again.

Indeed, in others’ eyes, he may stand at the Earth’s peak now, but can their perspective compare to Wen Yu’s? Others focus only on who is Sequence Number 1, who is the most powerful expert, but Wen Yu has already transcended such logic.

Obtaining Sequence Number 1 is mainly for the tiered battlefield rewards and achieving his goal, which is a means rather than the ultimate target. And how laughable are notions like dominating the world—this world has gods, and what about himself? God’s enemy? Big demon? Being too wild as a weakling like Mad could be fatal...

In sum, Wen Yu now feels no joy for defeating Tang Haofei; instead, he ponders silently, considering the future path.

Until Tang Haofei groaned painfully and slowly climbed up from the ground.

The back wound nearly healed, and even the severed limb grew buds—the effect of Wen Yu’s healing potion was naturally excellent.

When Old Tang fully steadied himself, Wen Yu then raised his head to look. Tang Haofei’s eyes regained clarity as he looked at Wen Yu, revealing a fleeting embarrassment—Tang Haofei was quite embarrassed indeed; a brother who always chased his steps had suddenly overtaken him unexpectedly.

But the embarrassment quickly passed, and Tang Haofei said thank you, while Wen Yu just nodded—a confirmation that the impact of this battle was extensive, very extensive...

...

"Initiating reward distribution now."

Golden Armor’s voice rang out again, marking this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle’s official conclusion. At this point, the broadcast screen on the Exchange Stone Pillar had not been closed, publicly displaying the Dominator’s grand gestures under the worldwide gaze!

"First, skill scroll distribution."

A simple sentence was accompanied by a flash on many professionists’ hands, as scroll after scroll appeared out of thin air. This alone was enough to significantly enhance the strength of professionists who participated in the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle and achieved certain results!

Every Sequence Member-Ranking Battle is an impressive feast; indeed, the second battle has come a bit late.

At the same time, a prompt sounded in Wen Yu’s mind.

"Respected Sequence Number 1, please choose the Esoteric Level skill scroll you need, you may designate any effect."

"Conceptual skills!"

Qin Tian’s Absolute Kill Slash left a deep impression on Wen Yu—who wouldn’t want such a thing?

"This skill is not available in the reward warehouse, please choose again!"

Alright—a clean rejection; it seems conceptual abilities are very rare.

Wen Yu willingly opted for another.

"Do you have Limit Breakthrough Level ability enhancing species innate talent attributes."

Undoubtedly, the preciousness of this ability is second only to conceptual abilities.

"Reward distribution complete, skill obtained—Steel Soul!"

Steel Soul (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill): Forge the body with iron, cast the soul with steel! After acquiring this skill, the host can strengthen their physical fitness limit and defense capabilities by absorbing metallic elements and can extract energy from rare metal elements to uplift their species innate talent.

Seeing the skill introduction for Steel Soul, Wen Yu felt neither joy nor sadness—it’s merely a standard Limit Breakthrough Level ability with no remarkable highlights.

Moreover, the belonging of this skill poses a problem.

Cyclops has the Great Feast, which he doesn’t need; Faceless also won’t need it; Luo Luo doesn’t require mentioning, her skill composition is quite perfect. Considering species perspective, Heavenly Yuan Breathing Technique is better than this resource-consuming Limit Breakthrough Level ability—once a big nest of Ants learns Steel Soul, the daily steel consumption would be enough to bankrupt Wen Yu!

The only options left are Victor and Star... Looking solely at the skill description for Steel Soul, this ability seems suitable for Star. However, Star still has a True Dragon Golden Body (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill) unused, which also uplifts species innate talent and physical fitness limit, and boosts combat capabilities.

Maybe breakthrough speed might be slightly slower than Steel Soul (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill), but overall comparison shows little difference; it’s acceptable for Star as the seventh skill!

As for giving it to Victor... Wen Yu fears the skills might not be compatible; can you imagine Wen Yu’s own skills mixed with a Great Feast? That’s not a joke...

Thus, Wen Yu turned his head to look at Tang Haofei beside him.

Wen Yu considered an exchange.

However, unexpectedly to Wen Yu, Tang Haofei stood there embarrassed, without any skill scroll in hand.

"What’s going on?"

Faced with Wen Yu’s inquiry, Old Tang chuckled bitterly: "Remember the Conceptual Immunity to Instant Death Ability?"
