The next day.
Early morning.
The entire Tian Du City became lively.
A large number of people flocked to the largest venue in Tian Du City. The cultivators could see the advertisements everywhere — The Glory Ceremony had finally begun!
The first day — The Most Powerful Lifestyle Glory Award!
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
Although this kind of lifestyle award was just a warm-up and there were no battles …
However …
It did not hinder everyone from watching the fun!
In particular, the finals of the few major associations would be very exciting!
Furthermore …
The Most Powerful Lifestyle Glory Award would not only affect the few associations but also countless cultivators and practitioners of other professions.
This competition was the direction they were heading in.
Of course.
There was a higher possibility of new products appearing in the competition.
After all …
It was very high exposure, wasn't it?
"Who do you think will win?"
"It will definitely be the Array Master Association this year … But it's alright. I'm mainly here to look at the products of other associations."
"R-right, I heard that Ding Xiu has come up with an ultra-thin product …"
"I heard that it fits very well."
"That's right."
"The Water Elemental Association's soft penetrating lubricant this year is also not bad …"
"It's better to use it together."
"That makes sense."
Everyone was very excited.
What did they look at at the other awards?
Hot-blooded!
Battle!
Killing!
What about the most powerful lifestyle?
They looked at the news conference …
Apart from the few most powerful associations, the rest of the associations brought their new products to the news conference. Of course, it would be best if they could win a prize.
Hence …
Everyone looked at the competition list excitedly.
Afterward …
They saw the Sword Card Master Association.
"They are actually here too."
"Of course. Don't forget about the Flower Burial Card."
"That's true."
Everyone suddenly understood.
Of course.
There were also people from other cities that they did not know and they asked each other. This was similar to songwriters … Besides Fang Wenshan, one might not know many of them.
One might know that the Flower Burial Card was produced by the Card Creators Association.
One might not know who the copyright was.
One might know that the cell phones were produced by Xiaolan, Xiaolu, and Xiaomi. One might not know who Qualcomm was …
This was roughly what happened.
Sword Card Master Association?
They had never heard of it.
Oh.
So, it's the founding association of the Flower Burial Card …
In the eyes of outsiders, the name of this association might not even be as well-known as Lu Ming.
Today.
This was also the first time many people got to know the Sword Card Master Association.
"I don't think it's possible."
"I think so too. The Flower Burial Card is indeed powerful, but it has already been thoroughly analyzed. Also, we'll surely sweep the Formation Master Association's Formation Votes clean."
"Can't help it, it's the New Year …"
Everyone sighed.
The rules had changed.
Many associations knew that there was no hope this year.
If that was the case …
Why not release a new product?
Hence …
Under the expectation of the crowd.
On the first day, when the first round of the competition began …
People were delighted to discover that, apart from a few large associations that were planning to compete for awards, almost all the associations had canceled their strongest and most mature products. Instead, they had chosen to release their new products on a stage with high exposure like the Glory Ceremony!
"Damn, they're all new products!"
"These associations are really sly …"
"But it's very lively."
"Haha, that's right. I saw a good product just now … It's the rod from the Rod Cultivator … It's electric, waterproof, and vibrates. It looks really powerful."
"I'll go take a look as well."
Everyone was happy to see it.
Hence …
The first day of the grand Glory Ceremony had become a news conference.
Tens of thousands of people were watching.
No one was paying attention to their favorite to win the championship.
For example —
The Array Master Association VS the Rod Cultivator Association.
According to the rules, both associations submitted a product each. After that, they would compare the parameters at the venue and under the evaluation of countless experts.
Without a doubt.
The Array Master Association swept the other party with their Formation Votes!
They won!
However …
It was a pity.
Everyone did not care about this familiar winner. Instead, they were more concerned about the new product created by the Rod Cultivator, the opponent of the Array Master Association!
"True enough, it's a new product."
"That's right. This rod is electric, waterproof, and vibrates. It looks very powerful."
"Yes, yes. It has a wide range of applications."
"Let's start with one."
Everyone was elated.
This product …
If it could become popular next year, it might be able to promote its development …
Not bad, not bad.
The Array Master Association that won was speechless.
Hey, hey, hey.
We are the real winners!
The same situation happened to the Sharpshooter Association and the Card Creators Association. Although they won, everyone was too familiar with the products that they submitted. Hence, they did not care.
Of course.
Regardless of whether people paid attention to them, the competition had to go on.
Hence …
The competition continued in such a strange atmosphere …
Except …
The Sword Card Master Association.
Almost everyone had gone on stage. Only the Sword Card Master Association did not seem to be doing anything.
"What's wrong with them?"
The big shot from the Card Creators Association was very puzzled.
"They are new and haven't figured it out yet."
The assistant pursed her lips.
Tsk tsk.
The people from the Sword Card Master Association …
One look and one could tell that they were newbies.
Look.
One look and one could tell that this was Li Haoran's first time participating. He did not even understand the submission and review process. Hahahaha. His legs were cracking from laughing …
"Where's Lu Ming?"
The big shot frowned.
"He didn't come."
The assistant scanned the crowd again. "Li Haoran submitted it. Lu Ming didn't come."
"Did he really give up?"
The big shot from the Card Creators Association wiped his perspiration.
If Lu Ming really gave up, they would suffer a huge loss. They gave up their goal of winning the award so that they could fight the Sword Card Master Association head-on!
At the thought of this, he felt even more worried.
After a long time …
He suddenly spoke.
"You …"
He pointed at the assistant. "Don't bother about me. Go and help him."
"Huh???"
The assistant was puzzled.
Help …
Help the Sword Card Master Association?
"Lu Ming is not around.
"Li Haoran is inexperienced. He might not be able to handle it. It will be troublesome if he makes a mistake."
The big shot instructed.
The assistant was speechless.
Did she have some misunderstanding about their relationship?
However …
She could only obey the big shot's orders.
Hence …
The assistant went to help Li Haoran in a daze.
"You are?"
Li Haoran was filled with doubts.
He had to do it himself. Although it was slower, he would figure it out eventually. This person …
"I'm here to help you."
The assistant begged and almost knelt down to gain Li Haoran's trust. From the registration to the competition to the submission of the product, she helped Li Haoran at every step.
"Thank you, young lady."
Li Haoran was very grateful.
There were still good people like Master in this world!
"…"
The assistant was in tears.
God knew what was going on!
Thankfully …
With her help, everything went smoothly.
The card submitted by the Sword Card Master Association was the Flower Burial Card that everyone was familiar with.
"Very good."
The big shot was very satisfied.
Flower Burial Card …
This thing was quite good.
However …
That was all.
Although the Flower Burial Card had no problem defeating those salted fish vocations, after two setbacks, the Flower Burial Card was no longer qualified to defeat everyone.
It was just right.
He would let everyone see how the Card Creators Association's card could defeat the Flower Burial Card!
Shush!
Shush!
The rounds of judging continued.
This was because everyone had to compete with everyone else. Therefore, the order did not matter. The officials deliberately left the few most promising associations at the end.
In the end …
When the rounds of competition were over …
There were only four associations that maintained a perfect winning record.
As for the other associations …
They were all salted fish.
Therefore …
The officials could not be bothered. They directly arranged for the finals of the last four associations to be held at the prime time of the night and at the most important venue!
…
"We have entered the finals."
The assistant came back to report.
"Oh."
The big shot waved his hands nonchalantly and paused for a moment. "What about the Sword Card Master Association?"
"They have entered as well."
The assistant said.
"That's good."
The big shot of the Card Creators Association felt very gratified.
Finally …
They had also reached this stage.
Naturally, they could not give up after defeating the top four!
In that case …
This gave the Card Creators Association a chance.
“？？？”
The assistant was puzzled.
If he had not confirmed that the big shot had just rushed over from the headquarters, he would have thought that the big shot was a spy from the Card Creators Association! You are much more attentive to them than your own association …
…
On the other side.
The Sharpshooter Association also looked toward the Sword Card Master Association.
This association …
They were not familiar with it.
"Is this the Flower Burial Card that we heard about previously?"
"Yes, Lu Ming contacted us previously but we rejected him."
"Yes."
The leader did not comment.
Flower Burial Card …
They bought one and studied it.
It was a very good card. It had a strong advantage and it was suitable for Aurora. However, it had a fatal flaw — The level was too high!
Six Stars.
This meant that many people could not use it!
Therefore …
They would be defeated by their basic arrows.
"Don't worry about them.
"It's mainly the Array Masters Association …
"Array ticket …
"Perhaps.
"It's time to use that product."
The Sharpshooter Association looked solemn.
…
Right then …
With the repeated updates, the atmosphere at the venue gradually reached a climax.
Due to the huge difference in points, those associations that did not participate had no chance to appear. At this moment, there were only four associations that were competing for awards at the main venue.
The audience who was watching the news conference gradually shifted their attention.
They had finished looking at the new products of the various associations.
Next …
It was time for the main show.
"Young lady, who do you think will win?"
One of them looked at the cultivator next to him excitedly and went forward to strike up a conversation.
"Sword Card Master Association."
The young lady was in high spirits.
"Oh?"
That person was instantly energized and expressed his opinion. "Young lady, look, in terms of the overall market, the Array Masters Association has the highest winning rate. In terms of ability, the Card Creators Association has the highest winning rate. In terms of coincidence, it might be the Sharpshooter Association. This Sword Card Master Association …
"They have no chance of winning."
That person spoke with fervor and assurance.
"…"
The young lady glanced at him. "It's none of your business."
“？？？”
That person was dumbstruck.
Were young ladies that hot-tempered nowadays?
Afterward …
He saw that the young lady took out a headpiece with colorful lights from her bag and put it on her head. On it were the words — "Lu Ming, I love you!"
"Humph!
"Who cares if we win or not!
"What we are interested in is Lu Ming's looks, not his ability."
The young lady pursed her lips and glanced at the man. "Greasy middle-aged men like you. Even if you cultivate to a seven-star, you won't be one percent as good-looking as Lu Ming."
Upon finishing her words …
The young lady skipped away.
That person was speechless.
Good-Looking …
Good-Looking fans?!
This was the Glory Grand Ceremony!
Why would there be good-looking fans?!
Also!
He was not a middle-aged man!
He was only 21 years old!
When he was young, his father said that he wanted to nurture his independent thinking and logical calculation ability. Therefore, he sent him to a primary school's Java training class for a month.
…
Of course.
This was only the beginning.
Everyone at the venue was shocked to discover that in a certain area of the president, there was a flash of lights. Many signboards with various colored words were lit up.
"Sword Card Master Association (?? °?? °??)???"
"Lu Ming is so handsome!"
"Lu Ming, I love you!"
"Lu Ming, I want to bear your children!"
"Lu Ming????"
Everyone was speechless.
This …
This was the Glory Grand Ceremony!
What the hell was with this inexplicable scene?!
…
"Over there …"
"Don't bother. They are just children. Let them be."
"Is it appropriate?"
"Whether it is appropriate or not, there are a few children of grandmasters … Why don't you interfere?"
"… Sorry to disturb you."
Hence …
Everyone averted their gazes.
They pretended that they did not see this group of people.
After a few minutes of advertisements, the first day of the Glory Grand Ceremony had reached its final moment — It was about to determine the strongest lifestyle vocation!
…
Right then …
The big shot of the Card Creators Association was filled with worry. "Lu Ming is not here yet?"
"No."
The assistant sighed.
"This is strange …"
The big shot was very worried.
This would not do …
The only way was to defeat Lu Ming!
The only way was to defeat their association!
The Card Creators Association would then be able to prove themselves!!
Hence …
He sent someone to check and confirmed that Lu Ming was still in the Sword Card Master Association. He heard that he was making some preparations and might have been delayed by some matters …
Was he delayed?
Oo …
He needed time.
The big shot had a rough idea of what to do.
Hence …
He made a move again.
The management of the Glory Grand Ceremony who was preparing for the finals suddenly discovered …
The lights in the main hall were broken.
They had just repaired it when one of the judges had diarrhea …
He had just returned …
Another expert was not feeling well.
They had finally recovered but another light was broken …
This went on and on.
Just when they began to suspect that there was a problem …
Lu Ming appeared.
He led Xiao Bai into the hall calmly.
At this very moment …
The big shot of the Card Creators Association finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"He is finally here."
The big shot felt gratified.
The assistant was speechless.
Goodness.
Who exactly was the Sword Card Master?!
Those who did not know better would think that he was the leader of the Sword Card Master Association!
She cried.
The big shot …
What kind of bewitching potion did Lu Ming feed the big shot?
She heard that …
Before the big shot came, he was tormented by Lu Ming and could not sleep for a few days. Could it be that …
This torment …
Was not a metaphor?
Hence …
The assistant looked at the big shot's affectionate and gratified gaze when he looked at Lu Ming and was deep in his thoughts. Perhaps, hidden beneath the competition was an unparalleled love?
At this very moment …
Her fujoshi soul had begun to burn …
…
At this very moment.
With the arrival of Lu Ming, everything suddenly went smoothly.
The circuit was no longer short-circuited.
The judges' stomachs no longer hurt.
All the lights in the main hall were switched on.
It was very mysterious.
The management of the Glory Grand Ceremony swept their suspicious gazes across everyone but they did not discover any interference of interest. In the end, they could only conclude that it was an accident.
At this moment.
The finals of the strongest professional honor awards had officially begun.
The first round.
Sword Card Master Association VS Sharpshooter Association!
Card Creators Association VS Array Master Association!
"It's here!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
This was a real professional assessment!
Although there was no new product release, they could see the direction of the next year and the birth of the greatest glory in the professional circle!
However …
They were unaware of something.
At this moment …
All the police officers of Tian Du City had been mobilized and surrounded the venue …
"Is everyone here?"
The chief of operations said in a low voice.
"Yes."
The police officers were certain.
"Very good."
The chief of operations looked solemn. "Remember, the Glory Grand Ceremony is the greatest event in Tian Du City. No one is allowed to destroy it. Understand?!"
"Understood!"
Everyone hollered.
However, the deputy chief shook his head helplessly. "You didn't have to come in person."
"You don't understand."
The chief of operations looked at him deeply.
Afterward …
His gaze landed on the venue.
His gaze landed on Lu Ming who had just entered the venue.
"He is here.
"This place …
"It might not be peaceful."
Eh?
The deputy chief looked solemn. "Do you mean that there is a problem with Lu Ming?"
"There is no problem with him."
The chief sighed. "It's just that Lu Ming has a calamity constitution. It's easy to get into trouble wherever he is. In the past, I didn't know why. After reading the information over the past two days, I speculated that the so-called calamity constitution might be related to Lu Ming's looks, talent, and character.
"After all …
"This child is too outstanding."
The chief sighed.
"…"
The deputy chief was silent.
Even if you think highly of him, you don't have to brag like that?
"I'm not the one who said that."
The deputy chief smiled bitterly. "The so-called calamity is just superstition … How can there be such a mysterious constitution? We are in Tian Du City!
"A first-tier city!
"A top-notch venue!
"And we are here to hold the fort!
"Besides …
"This is merely the first round of the Glory Grand Ceremony. It's not a battlefield.
"What can happen …"
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
A terrifying beam of light suddenly bloomed in the venue. The dazzling light shattered the transparent glass on the top floor of the venue and shot into the sky!
Oh no!
The police officers' countenances changed drastically and they took action immediately.
The deputy chief was speechless.
Seriously …
Something really happened?!
