Out of the ten chosen participants, seven of them would receive a reward and three of them would be able to make a request to the devil emperor.
Clearly, the number of those three chosen was even lesser. They were the final victors.
Also, this Old Xia Devil King seemed to be flattering Qin Wentian, saying that Qin Wentian was the one who deserved a reward the most. Didn't this mean that Qin Wentian deserved a reward from the devil emperor? In that case, he would have no fate with the other three.
Many devil kings laughed but didn't say anything. No matter how outstanding Qin Wentian's performance was, it ultimately had nothing to do with them. Clearly, they wouldn't offend Old Xia Devil King for the sake of Qin Wentian.
On the platform, Qin Wentian's brows furrowed. Regardless of him or Huang Shatian, they came to the Myriad Devil Islands for one thing and that was the adjudication battle. This was a battle they had to win no matter what methods they used.
One could say that the adjudication battle was another competition apart from their own battles. It was no longer a pure clash of strength, but rather, it was a display of innate techniques.
He and Huang Shatian were both participating in the devil emperor's birthday celebration for the sake of victory in the adjudication battle. Both of them wanted to make a request to the devil emperor. If the other three chose Huang Shatian instead of him, even if they fought to a draw with Huang Shatian, it would only be a draw between the two of them. To the entire adjudication battle, it would be a calamity.
This Old Xia Devil King was simply too detestable.
Huang Shatian came to the Fallen Devil Island in advance and directly used the Old Xia Devil King's body. It was unknown what methods he used.
"Huang Shatian fought to a draw with Qin Wentian. Even if he borrowed the power of a secret art, wouldn't it be based on his own strength as well? In addition, Qin Wentian's cultivation base is lower compared to Huang Shatian. Being able to fight to such an extent, who can say who would be the victor between the two of them? I feel that these two should be two of the top three. " The Blackstone Devil King calmly spoke. His voice was light but there was no doubt that he was refuting the words of the Old Xia Devil King.
No matter how one looked at it, Old Xia Devil King's stance wasn't fair. Even if he sided with Huang Shatian, he shouldn't be able to deny Qin Wentian, right?
Of course, all the Demon Kings present could see this.
What sort of character was the devil emperor? How could he not know that the Old Xia Devil King was biased towards Huang Shatian?
One was an old friend who had gone through life and death with him, the other was a junior with outstanding talent. There was basically no need to consider which side to choose. However, the problem was that if the devil emperor sided with the Old Xia Devil King, not only would it be unfair to Qin Wentian, it would also damage his prestige as the devil emperor.
The Old Xia Devil King should understand this point as well, yet he still said this. There was a deeper meaning behind his words.
At the location where the devil emperor was at, it was extremely quiet. It all depended on whether the devil emperor would give face to the Old Xia Devil King or not.
The devil emperor turned his gaze to the Old Xia Devil King as a faint smile appeared on his face. "Old Xia, who do you think should get the three quotas?"
"Huang Shatian, Old Chai and Xia Yuan. I feel that the three of them aren't bad. As for the others, they can all be rewarded." The Old Xia Devil King stared at the devil emperor as a deep intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that if he wanted his old friend to give face to him, it would make things difficult for the devil emperor. But since they had gone through life and death with each other, he believed that this old friend of his would be able to understand him.
When Qin Wentian heard the words of the Old Xia Devil King, his eyes turned exceptionally cold. He then transmitted his voice to Huang Shatian, "Seems like he doesn't simply regard you as important."
"I have no choice but to admire your strength. There will still be battles between us in the future. However, for this adjudication battle, it won't be decided based on our strength alone. I will naturally use all my methods to obtain victory for this adjudication battle." Huang Shatian calmly transmitted his voice back to Qin Wentian.
The adjudication battle wasn't merely a personal battle between them.
"The adjudication battle has just begun." Qin Wentian closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath. If Huang Shatian obtained the three quotas, his request would definitely be the same as his. He wanted the devil emperor to give the order to search for the experts sent to the Myriad Devil Islands. At that time, it would truly be a calamity for them.
The devil emperor gave the order for the controllers of the millions of islands in the Fallen Devil Region to search for them.
"Let's wait and see then." Huang Shatian calmly replied.
Everyone turned to the devil emperor and the Old Xia Devil King. Seems like this Old Xia Devil King was determined to get the devil emperor to give him face.
"Xia Yuan?" The Blackstone Devil King was somewhat unconvinced. "Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian fought to a draw, Old Chai and Duan Qianshan were in a stalemate, Huang Shatian and Old Chai obtained three quotas but Qin Wentian and Duan Qianshan didn't. Instead, Xia Yuan got the quota. Senior Xia, this doesn't seem logical, right?"
"Impudent. What qualifications do you have to speak here?" The Old Xia Devil King turned his head and glanced at the Blackstone Devil King, his gaze extremely sharp.
In this place, how could a mere devil king under the command of the devil emperor have the qualifications to speak? Who was he? He was someone who had a life-and-death friendship with the devil emperor.
The expression of the Blackstone Devil King turned ugly, but he had nothing to say. In such a situation, his words truly had no weight at all.
"Senior Xia's words are logical. Qin Wentian relied on a secret art, while Duan Qianshan is an immortal. Since this is the birthday celebration of the devil emperor, devil cultivators should be the most respected. Old Chai and Xia Yuan are both devil cultivators of our Fallen Devil Island, and their strength is also at the peak. They naturally won't be selected." At this moment, an expert interjected, causing the countenance of the Blackstone Devil King to turn even more unsightly.
The person who spoke was none other than the Black Jiao Devil King.
"Enough, there's no need to argue. The purpose of this competition is to liven up the atmosphere. All the geniuses here are all very outstanding, there's no difference in who gets the rewards or requests." The devil emperor calmly spoke, causing everyone to shut up.
After that, the devil emperor lifted his wine cup and smiled, "Let's toast to all the geniuses of the younger generations."
"The devil emperor is wise." All the experts raised their cups and drank. The devil emperor was right, this competition was ultimately just a celebration of the devil emperor's birthday. The devil emperor could choose whatever he wanted to. Other than those from the major powers staring at a portion of the geniuses, in truth, they were merely trying to win the devil emperor's favor.
The devil emperor could do whatever he wanted.
No matter how outstanding Qin Wentian's talent was, he was merely a junior at the devil-foundation realm.
Putting down his wine cup, the devil emperor smiled, "Let's do as Old Xia suggested. Huang Shatian, Old Chai and Xia Yuan can make a request to me. As for the other seven, they will be rewarded."
The expressions of everyone froze. Ultimately, the devil emperor still gave face to the Old Xia Devil King.
After all, they were once friends of life and death. It was rare for the Old Xia Devil King to give face and insist on this matter. The Fallen Devil Emperor could only choose to wrong Qin Wentian.
"The devil emperor is wise." All the devil kings spoke in unison.
"The devil emperor is wise." Countless devil cultivators spoke, congratulating the devil emperor for his decision. No matter what decision the devil emperor made, it was naturally wise because he was the devil emperor.
"The devil emperor is wise?" Qin Wentian closed his eyes before opening them again. His aura fluctuated and the people around him all had cold looks in their eyes, as though they were filled with reluctance.
What was the devil emperor's decision based on?
Based on? He was the devil emperor and this place was his territory. The devil emperor naturally had the qualifications to decide everything, who could obtain the rewards and who could make a request to him.
A deep smile appeared in the eyes of the Old Xia Devil King. He glanced at Qin Wentian, he didn't have any prejudice towards Qin Wentian. As to why he was so insistent, it was naturally because of the benefits involved.
"This isn't fair." The third princess Yan Yuruo spoke from the crowd. However, the people in the surroundings merely glanced at her. Who would care about a mere third princess? Even her father, the Blackstone Devil King, didn't have any authority to speak. Who could doubt the devil emperor's decision?
"The three of you, what requests do you have? You can state them now." The devil emperor stared at Huang Shatian and the other two.
"Senior devil emperor, this old man only wishes to step into the devil king realm. I have no other requests." Old Chai spoke. He should be thanking the Old Xia Devil King. Unknowingly, the Old Xia Devil King had helped him, pushing him up to the top. If not, Old Chai understood that his slot would have already belonged to Qin Wentian.
"I wish for the devil emperor to guide junior in my cultivation." Xia Yuan spoke, his words causing the eyes of everyone to flash. This Xia Yuan was extremely intelligent, this request clearly indicated that he wanted to become a disciple of the devil emperor. Even if the devil emperor didn't accept him as a disciple, he wouldn't reject this request and could still be considered half a disciple.
Also, leaving aside the status of half a disciple, the guidance of the devil emperor would naturally be extraordinary as well.
As for Old Chai's request, everyone had long guessed it. Everyone on the Fallen Devil Island knew how badly Old Chai wanted to take that step.
"Wanting to step into the devil king realm ultimately isn't something that can be achieved with external help. Old Chai, you have already reached the devil-foundation realm, this is the limit you can reach. Next, you still need an opportunity. Stay in the devil palace and let me try. If you fail, don't blame me." The devil emperor calmly spoke.
"Many thanks for the devil emperor's help." Old Chai bowed.
"Xia Yuan, there's no problem with your request." The devil emperor nodded lightly.
"Thank you, devil emperor." Xia Yuan bowed.
"What about you?" The devil emperor glanced at Huang Shatian.
"I need senior devil emperor to give the order to search for some people in the Fallen Devil Region for me." Huang Shatian spoke.
"Sure." The devil emperor nodded. This was just an order. Huang Shatian's request was very simple.
"Thank you, devil emperor. Junior might be so bold as to ask, if you find them, can you send them to me?" Huang Shatian spoke again.
"This is already the second request." The devil emperor laughed. Huang Shatian bowed, "Junior understands."
"As for the other seven, grant them their titles." The devil emperor smiled. After that, seven beautiful maidens held the rewards in their hands as they floated towards the battle platform. The White Tiger people and the experts from the Supreme Sword School all accepted the rewards and thanked the devil emperor.
Before Qin Wentian, Qi Da, Duan Qianshan, Nanfeng Ruoxuan and Mo Ziyan, the five maidens all received the rewards from the devil emperor with smiles on their faces.
However, Qin Wentian didn't stretch his hands out to receive it. The others didn't do so as well.
Clearly, the five of them were unwilling to accept it.
Hence, with regards to the rewards from the devil emperor, they all had the heart to reject it.
This scene caused the gazes of countless people to freeze as they stared at the five of them. What did this mean?
"Junior came here to congratulate senior devil emperor on his birthday, but I didn't dare to hope for any rewards. Since I have not contributed to the devil emperor, I don't dare to accept the rewards." Qin Wentian spoke, causing everyone to be shocked.
Qin Wentian rejected the rewards from the devil emperor!
