After the Empire League spokesperson left, the spokesperson of the Empire League took the stage. First, he sincerely welcomed the Emperor and his entourage. Then, the award ceremony for the Empire League Finals began.
First, a big shot from the Empire League gave a speech. Similarly, this big shot, who many people would bow at the sight of, was extremely excited and said that the Emperor's presence was a great honor for the Empire League.
Then, he gave a passionate and not too long speech.
Then, the Empire League award ceremony officially began!
The first to be awarded was the trophy for the top nine teams of the Empire League.
The captains of the nine teams all went on stage to receive their awards.
A group of young people smiled and shook hands with each other.
Perhaps they could still meet in the University League in the future and might even become opponents. But at this moment, the High School League was over, and so was the rivalry. Everyone could happily make friends.
Shirō Makino had originally planned to go on stage to receive this award and then hand the trophy to Liu to receive later, but Liu refused.
"I'm the former captain and spokesperson. Strictly speaking, it's already a bit against the rules for me to receive this trophy for the top nine. But I want to share this joy with my brothers. I want to participate, so I won't stand on ceremony. "
So, the person who went on stage to receive the award was Liu.
The host teased humorously, "Let's see, the person from Team Fu Long to receive the trophy is indeed a university student, Liu Zhiyuan. This seems to be the first time in the history of the Empire League."
The other host laughed. "Luckily, he didn't go on stage. Otherwise, I guess someone would definitely report him for breaking the rules."
Countless viewers at the scene and online couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, before the two hosts teased him, many people had planned to report him.
They knew it would be useless, but at least they could disgust Team Fu Long.
But after being exposed by the host, they felt a little embarrassed.
Because when the camera panned to the big shots of the Empire League, everyone had a warm smile on their faces.
Especially when the Empire League's spokesperson personally went on stage to endorse Fu Long. This standard, this treatment … no matter how stubborn they were, they knew that this team wasn't something they could defame.
"Alright, we see that the top nine teams have all raised their trophies. Let us congratulate them!"
The host shouted passionately.
Countless people at the scene let out a tsunami of cheers, followed by a warm round of applause that lasted for a long time.
The captains of the nine teams all had smiles on their faces. However, if one were to look closely, they would be able to see something different on the faces of some of the captains.
For example, Deity's captain Mu Yu Hai. Anyone could see that he was forcing himself to smile.
Even though he was the runner-up, he was not happy.
Of course, he was convinced, but he was really unwilling!
However, Chang Haiyan, the captain of the God of Runes, was the one who was even more unwilling to give up. The competition had been fought to the end, and the suspense had been left till the end. They were only one point away from entering the top three.
Compared to the unwillingness of the Celestial Gods for not being able to win the championship, the entire Talisman God Battle Team was more regretful.
As for Cold Palace's Captain Li Peiqi, the smile on her face was one of genuine happiness.
In the end, they escaped from death!
If their opponents got one more point, they would successfully push them down.
As for Liu?
This fellow was laughing so hard that his molars were about to pop out.
He was friendly to everyone he met. Before he received the trophy, he had already exchanged contact details with the team leaders.
Many people with extreme views even felt that Liu's championship was a result of following others!
But no matter how envious and jealous they were, they could not deny the fact that he had won the championship.
As the top nine teams left the stage.
Next up was the award of this year's Empire League's first, second and third place trophies!
The captains of the three teams went on stage together!
The moment Xiao Bai's slender figure appeared on the champion's podium in the middle, the entire competition center instantly boiled over!
The cheers were unprecedentedly loud!
The applause was like a tidal wave!
The flowers and applause of the victors, at this moment, belonged only to the Rune Dragon Battle Team and the group of young people like Xiao Bai.
Then it was Lin Zijin, Chae Yi, Si Yin, Shan Gu, and Xiao Gu.
This time, Liu did not go on stage!
Even though he had one of the champion's medals.
But Liu still had this bit of EQ.
He had just represented the Rune Dragon Battle Team on stage to receive the top nine trophy, and others would not say anything.
But if he really came on stage to receive this champion's medal, then he would really be criticized.
On the podium for the second and third place teams, stood the members of the Celestial Battle Team and the Arctic Palace Battle Team respectively.
Even though everyone's faces were brimming with bright smiles, but inadvertently looking towards the center, their eyes were still filled with envy —
That position still had the best scenery!
At this moment, the live host used a somewhat distorted voice and shouted excitedly, "Now, let us invite our most respected and beloved His Majesty the Emperor to personally award the champion team the trophy. Let us invite Prince Chu, Prince Yue … to respectively award the second and third place trophies!"
Even the group of people on the stage could not hear the latter part of the words clearly.
Because the moment the host said to invite His Majesty the Emperor, the entire competition center had completely boiled over.
The sound caused a resonance, and that incomparably noisy noise covered all other sounds.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by the two princes, walked out from the passageway.
After the Emperor walked out, he stood there quietly.
The surroundings suddenly went silent.
Then, his body slowly turned, and he slowly waved his hand in four directions.
The next moment —
Boom!
The incomparably huge competition center exploded once again.
Prince Chu and Prince Yue, who followed beside him, had warm smiles on their faces as they followed closely behind the Emperor.
Then, it was time to award the medals. The Emperor picked up the gold medal that symbolized the champion from the tray of the ceremonial lady.
First was Shirō Makino.
The Emperor smiled and shook Xiao Bai's hand. He did not say anything, only showing a warm smile and nodding lightly.
He had already said what he wanted to say. He liked this young man very much, and he had already acknowledged him. There was no need to say anything else.
Next was Lin Zijin.
After the Emperor hung the gold medal around her neck, he shook her hand and nodded with a smile. "Continue to work hard!"
"Okay!" Lin Zijin revealed a playful smile.
This scene was captured by countless media outlets.
Then, it was Chae Yi, Si Yin, Shan Gu … The Emperor shook hands with each of them, smiling as he spoke.
"You are very outstanding!"
"Very good!"
"You are very good!"
Finally, it was in front of Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu tried his best to maintain his calm, but the smile on his face betrayed his current feelings.
If the cheers and applause from before were enough to make him excited, then standing on the champion's podium at this moment, the intense throbbing in his heart and the almost blank excitement in his mind made him completely understand what Lin Zijin had said to him before.
Looking at his son who was bowing in front of him, the Emperor hung the gold medal for him with a gratified expression. He even stretched out his hand and helped him tidy up.
This action made countless people who had been staring at the Emperor stare blankly.
Because the first, second, and third place awards were not given separately, even though most people were looking at the Emperor's action, there were still a few people who did not notice.
Hearing the commotion around them, they were a little confused, and their faces were blank — what did we miss?
Then, countless people saw an even more shocking scene!
After the Emperor hung the champion's medal for Xiao Gu and tidied it up slightly, he did not choose to shake hands with Xiao Gu!
Instead … he patted Xiao Gu's shoulder, who was still maintaining his bowing posture!
This action, what did it mean?
Why was the Emperor so intimate with this young man?
Then, it was time to award the trophies!
The first to be awarded was the third place trophy.
When the King of Chu presented the trophy that symbolized the third place to Li Peiqi, Li Peiqi's eyes were red as she raised the trophy high.
Even if it was the third place, the value of the trophy was unimaginably high!
And this was destined to be a Kingdom League Tournament that would not be forgotten for many years.
As long as one sentence was mentioned — I was in the same league as Fu Long Shirō Makino, Lin Zijin, and the others, and I got the bronze medal … Yes, that was enough!
The crowd cheered.
Then, it was the King of Chu who presented the Celestial Battle Team with the trophy that symbolized the second place.
The Celestial Battle Team's leader, Mu Yuhai, pursed his lips tightly. His eyes were also a little red as he raised the trophy high.
Even though he was unwilling, his skills were not as good as others!
This sentence became the best portrayal of the Celestial Battle Team.
Finally, the Emperor received the trophy, and even turned it over and over to take a closer look.
This caused countless people in the crowd to laugh.
The Emperor had a miniature sound acquisition device on him, but it would only be activated with his signal.
The Emperor looked at the base of the trophy, which was engraved with the words "Fu Long Battle Team Champion". He couldn't help but signal that he was about to speak.
Then, the host very agilely said loudly, "Next, let us invite Your Majesty the Emperor to present the trophy and give a speech of encouragement!"
The crowd instantly quietened down.
This kind of powerful charisma was probably something that only this person could achieve in the entire Zulong Empire.
"This trophy is quite nice. Back then … I also participated in a Kingdom League Tournament." The Emperor smiled, and his voice was transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Wow, the Emperor also participated in a tournament?"
"That's impossible, right? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
"Yeah, which tournament was it? I want to find a video of the tournament to watch! "
"Oh my god, the Emperor participated in the Kingdom League Tournament?"
"This is really super big news, right?"
Countless people were instantly stunned.
"But the results weren't that great, not as good as the outstanding youngsters of the Fu Long Battle Team." The Emperor smiled lightly.
Then, he handed the trophy to Shirō Makino and said, "Congratulations, young man. You have passed through all the trials and finally stood on this stage. I am proud of you!"
The Emperor's words seemed to be a normal encouragement, but it had a double meaning!
Shirō Makino could understand.
So, he held the cup with both hands, then bowed deeply to the Emperor for a few seconds.
Then, he slowly straightened his body, one hand holding this actually quite heavy trophy — —
High up!
Boom!
The atmosphere of the entire stadium was completely ignited!
Everyone seemed to have gone crazy.
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
"Champion!"
"… …"
This went on for close to ten minutes!
Xiao Bai's arms were a little sore from holding it up.
Only then did the fanatical crowd gradually calm down.
Qin Ranran sat in the VIP box, her eyes revealing a gentle smile. Brat, good job!
After the presentation of the trophy, the host announced this year's Kingdom League MVP — — Lin Zijin!
There was really nothing much to say about this.
Xiao Bai's performance was really not as good as Sister Lin's.
One against three, one against three, one against three … …
In the individual competition, how many tragedies had Lin Zijin caused? Many people couldn't even remember.
The most exaggerated was the self-destruction of the Rune God team. Not only was there a detailed explanation, there was also a f * cking video!
One against six!
Lin Zijin single-handedly destroyed this year's Kingdom League fourth place team!
So, what else was there to say?
The other teams should seriously think about how to thank Sister Lin for showing mercy in the finals of the Kingdom League.
Therefore, Lin Zijin winning the MVP award was something that everyone expected.
Then, the Best Partners of this year's Kingdom League were announced — — Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin!
Although Xiao Bai didn't do much, there was also nothing much to say about putting these two together and announcing them as the Best Partners.
When the two of them were together, just the dog food alone was enough to fill one up.
Then came the Best Line-Up. As expected, the Rune Dragon team was all on the list …
There were all kinds of programs in between.
Qin Ranran even went on stage to sing a song.
Soon, it was two o 'clock at night.
But no one was sleepy!
They were still waiting for the most important thing!
Finally — —
The Kingdom League spokesperson went on stage again.
He smiled and invited the Crown Prince to go on stage.
Then, a young figure with a handsome face and a decent suit walked out of the passage and stood in the middle of the stage.
As this figure walked out, the surrounding applause came like a tidal wave.
But when this face was projected on the big screen, many people couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my god!"
"Damn!"
"What the f * ck?"
"How could it be him?"
Rune Dragon team — — Gu Yingjun!
The team members of the Empire League Tournament sitting in the audience were stunned!
Countless audience members were stunned!
Tens of thousands of viewers on the internet were also stunned!
Those people on the internet who didn't let go of Xiao Gu and tried their best to smear his name were also shocked … No, they were scared to the point of peeing their pants!
For such a long time, they actually didn't let go of the Crown Prince of the Kingdom, smearing his name, slandering him, and personally attacking him?
They seemed to have even scolded his father?
Things like not teaching him well and so on …
F * ck.
Seems like I'm going to die!
It was only at this moment that everyone finally understood why the Ancestral Dragon Royal Family's office and the Empire League Tournament would release news to support the Fu Long Battle Team. They finally understood why the Empire's spokesperson would personally go on stage to support the Fu Long Battle Team during this award ceremony. They also finally understood why the Emperor acted differently when he gave Gu Yingjun the award!
Damn it … You're obviously a member of the Li Royal Family, the Crown Prince, why is your surname Gu?
That's right, the current Empress' surname is indeed Gu. But the problem is, there are at least billions of people with the surname Gu in this world. Who would have thought that you're the same Gu?
Gu Yingjun stood alone on the stage, his eyes complicated and his heart full of emotions.
He knew very well that once he stood on the stage, from now on … he would have to say goodbye to his life as a teammate of the Rune Dragon team.
Once he made a public appearance, it meant that he had to seriously learn how to be a Crown Prince in the following days.
From this moment onwards, he could only be Crown Prince Li Ying. He could no longer be that cold, arrogant, and amusing Xiao Gu.
"Good evening everyone, I'm the Crown Prince, Li Ying!"
On this day, this night.
Crown Prince Li Ying made his first public appearance.
On this day, this night, it was unknown how many people were trembling in fear.
The fate that awaited them directly became known from the unknown.
Using the prestige of the Empire League Championship, his personal reputation reached an incomparably terrifying height overnight.
Even the limitless Xiao Bai and Lin Zijin were firmly suppressed by him.
No one could compete with his imposing manner!
The move that His Majesty the Emperor made a year ago finally revealed its true power on this night.
In the next few days, the Rune Dragon team, along with the other teams in the finals, attended several grand banquets.
At the banquets, the various universities from the entire Zulong Empire all threw out olive branches to this team.
They even completely ignored the higher-ups of the Flying Dragon University who had also come here, and were practically not a step away from the Rune Dragon team.
Fortunately, the group of people on the Rune Dragon team, led by Shirō Makino, maintained their bottom line — they could make friends, but nothing else.
This made the higher-ups of the Flying Dragon University feel extremely gratified.
At the same time, after the news that Rune Dragon had chosen the Flying Dragon University spread, the Flying Dragon University, which was originally not even in the top fifty of the entire Zulong Empire, suddenly became popular.
Although it wasn't enough to move the teams participating in the Empire League Championship, at the very least, for the other outstanding students who were having headaches about which schools to apply to, the Flying Dragon University, which was originally not within their consideration, was once again included in their plans.
Whether the Flying Dragon University's teachers were strong, and how strong they were compared to other universities, could not even be considered for now.
If they entered the Flying Dragon University, they could at least become schoolmates with Student Xiao Bai.
The young children might not understand the existence of the alumni association very well, but the parents behind them could not be more familiar with it.
Following that, the various rewards for Rune Dragon for winning the championship were quickly implemented.
Cultivation techniques, spirit pearls, and statues of gods were needless to say.
As a dignified empire, they still had this bit of heritage.
Although to Xiao Bai, these things were nothing.
But to Chae Yi, Shan Gu, and Si Yin, these things were truly obtained with their own strength!
They accepted it with a clear conscience, and everyone was very happy.
Apart from these direct material rewards, there was also the most important thing that made the previous champion teams extremely envious and even a little jealous, and that was the invitation letter from the Tianhu Holy Land!
Even Xiao Bai could not help but feel a little expectant.
And there, they would also meet the champion teams of the other two empires, the Divine Alliance and the Vast Ocean Alliance.
At that time, it might be another fierce battle between giants.
But this was nothing, and everyone was even a little expectant.
During the few days that they stayed in the imperial city, Xiao Bai and his group also took the opportunity to exchange for the championship rewards that they had bought before.
By the way, Dong Li and Brother Niao had really struck it rich.
These two loyal members of the Bai Family Army, because they had placed their bets on Rune Dragon Battle Team to win the championship from the very beginning, the odds were frighteningly high.
Not to mention the wife's money, as long as they didn't buy things like starships, they could basically live freely for the rest of their lives.
Wan Xiong and his group, as well as Qin Ranran and even Xiahou Ziyue, all made a lot of money from it.
Xiahou Ziyue appeared very brave and calm at that time, but the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She stayed in the dormitory for many days.
Fortunately, this matter was suppressed by the imperial family at the fastest speed, so even the students around her didn't know that Xiahou Ziyue was actually someone who had personally experienced the Protoss incident that day.
Xiahou Ziyue was originally very smart, and after going to the Emperor Star to seek knowledge, she became even more wise and farsighted. So during these few days, she didn't even take the initiative to contact Xiao Bai, afraid that she would bring trouble to Xiao Bai.
A week after the league tournament ended, another shocking event that was destined to have a far-reaching impact happened in the entire Zulong Empire.
The Emperor personally conferred titles to the six princes and thirteen dukes in front of the media.
All these years, King Qi had been desperately pushing for the conferment of titles. Not long after the Crown Prince was established, he finally succeeded.
The impact of this matter even spread to the other two empires.
How would the previously highly centralized Zulong Empire change after the conferment?
For a moment, countless people were paying attention to this matter.
And at this time, Xiao Bai and his group were about to embark on the road to the Tianhu Planet, where the Tianhu Holy Land was located.
Before leaving, Xiao Gu came to send them off.
