As the people started discussing, their voices became louder and louder. At first, only a portion of people were clamoring for Hong Dali to participate in the competition. Soon after, such emotions spread like a plague. Everyone present started shouting, "Hong Dali! Hong Dali! "" Want Hong Dali to participate in the competition. I strongly request for Hong Dali to participate in the competition! "" If Hong Dali doesn't participate, the competition later on will be meaningless! "
Everyone made such a request. It made it seem like Hong Dali was the champion this time …
"Hong Dali!" Silver Frost clenched his fists. He was really depressed.
He's the champion! It's him! Not Hong Dali! But why does it seem like Hong Dali is the champion now! I'm not convinced!
"Dean Fergos." All the mentors looked at Dean Fergos. McCarron was the most anxious one. "No matter what, you have to let Hong Dali participate in the competition later on. What's the point if he doesn't participate?"
Actually, Fergos really hoped that Hong Dali would participate in the competition later on. However, after Hong Dali forfeited just now, he thought about it carefully and realized that it might be the best choice for Hong Dali not to participate. Hence, he was really a little hesitant now.
Think about it, what kind of competition is the next one? It's a competition of true strength.
What is true strength? It's the team's pure combat ability. In the first stage, Hong Dali could use the tools in the battlefield reasonably. But what about the second stage? All tactics were meaningless. The only thing that was useful was actual combat ability.
Shenglong Astral Team was the only team in the top ten without a Chosen One. If they really participated, it would be best if their ranking did not change. However, the chances of that happening were slim. It was more likely that their ranking would drop. If they really dropped to tenth place, how embarrassing would that be? It was good now. As long as they did not participate in the competition later on, Shenglong Astral Team would always be in third place. At least, that was what everyone thought.
"This, please discuss with us." Fergos looked angry on the surface, but he was secretly thinking of a solution.
"Dean Fergos, you have to work hard." McCarron anxiously said, "If Hong Dali doesn't participate in the competition, the competition later on will be meaningless."
"I know, I know." Fergos touched his beard and looked very depressed. "I will try my best, definitely."
Hence, the tactical explanation ended here. All the mentors followed Fergos back to the conference room to discuss how to get Hong Dali to continue participating in the competition …
At this moment, in space, Hong Dali and the other members of the Shenglong Astral Team surrounded Hong Dali and laughed loudly. "Dali, you're really something. You actually forfeited in such a competition just like that. Not everyone has such courage."
"What kind of courage is needed for this?" Hong Dali pouted. "It's just a lousy competition, there's no need for courage. By the way, where were we? "
"Speaking of which, what are we going to do this time?" A classmate asked, "Brother Dali, what are we going to do next?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Dali, what are we going to do when we come out?" "Yes, yes, you were interrupted just now."
"Us? Let's go to one of the planets under my name to play. I have a very, very good idea to squander! "Hong Dali was in a great mood. How could competitions compare to squandering? He turned around and asked Ling Xiaoyi, "By the way, Xiaoyi, you kept saying that you had something to report before we came out. What is it?"
Before they came out, Ling Xiaoyi seemed to have said that she had something to report. They were in a hurry and forgot about it …
"En, Young Master, it's like this." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said to Hong Dali, "Because you won third place in the Astral Genius Battle, the family head is very happy. He has already transferred 200 billion Shenglong Dollars into your account. He said that if it's not enough, there's more."
"Oh, 200 billion …" Hong Dali sniffled and was about to say something, but this time, he heard it clearly. "Wait, how much did you say!?"
"200 billion," Ling Xiaoyi replied.
"What the heck, so much!?" Hong Dali instantly stared with his eyes wide open. "I remember that the prize money for the Astral Genius Battle was not that much. My great-grandfather actually rewarded me with so much money!?"
200 billion, that was a long row of zeros, wasn't it?
Even Hong Dali's classmates were all stunned. "God, did you hear that? 200 billion! 200 billion Shenglong Dollars! Brother Dali is going to explode, he rewarded me 200 billion in one go … "" Isn't that so, it's hard for me to even get a few million usually. Look at him, I really can't compete with him! "" Brother Dali, please take care of me! "
"He actually rewarded me with 200 billion just for getting third place?" Hong Dali touched his chin and mumbled, "Then, should I still participate in the competition after this?" He thought for a while and finally smacked his lips. "Forget it, I'll not participate. Money is only money when it's spent. If I don't spend it, it's just a string of numbers. Hehe, I'll spend it first. We'll talk about it after I spend it all."
Everyone's jaws dropped to the ground. What was going on? 200 billion Shenglong Dollars, talk about it after he spent it all?
"Xiaoyi." Hong Dali indicated that 200 billion was enough for him to spend for a while, so there was no hurry. He looked at Ling Xiaoyi and asked, "How much longer until we reach the destination?"
"Young Master, it's very close." Ling Xiaoyi reported, "We'll reach the place in about an hour. But before we get there, I suggest contacting them first, lest we scare them. "
"That's what I should do." Hong Dali nodded and said, "You can make the arrangements."
…
While Hong Dali went somewhere to have fun, the Hong Family on Shenglong Star was really lively.
"The head of the Tong Family, Tong Qusha, requests an audience. Congratulatory gift of 50 billion Shenglong Dollars and 10 top-grade energy gems!"
"The head of the Han Family, Han Xiongfei, requests an audience. Congratulatory gift of 40 billion Shenglong Dollars and 20 pieces of purple top-grade equipment."
"The head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Qingchuan, requests an audience. Congratulatory gift of 50 billion Shenglong Dollars and 10 top-grade mineral planets …"
Ever since Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling returned to the Hong Family, they kept on announcing the news. It couldn't be helped. Hong Dali got third place in the Astral Genius Battle. That was a solid result. Also, his strange tactics and unique style completely exceeded everyone's expectations. No one was willing to offend such a war genius.
Since they could not afford to offend him, there was only one choice. That was to rely on the Hong Family. That way, they would be able to develop better in the future. It could be said that as long as Hong Dali was in the Hong Family, the speed of the Hong Family's growth would definitely shock everyone.
In the Hong Family's conference hall.
"Hehe, congratulations, Family Head." Ye Wuyou sat beside Hong Xingyu with a face full of smiles and sincerely congratulated him. "Elder Hong, with a genius like Hong Dali, the Hong Family will not have to worry anymore. Hehe."
"Hahaha, Wuyou." Hong Xingyu laughed loudly. He was extremely satisfied with Hong Dali. "You were the first to form an alliance with the Hong Family. Yup, I didn't have a chance to do so previously. Now is the right time. As the earliest ally, I naturally cannot mistreat the Ye Family. How about this, all the congratulatory gifts today will belong to you. "
All the congratulatory gifts today belonged to Ye Wuyou. Even though Ye Wuyou had been the Family Head for more than a hundred years, he was still stunned by such a huge gift. He shook his head furiously and said, "No, no, how can I do that? The congratulatory gifts today must be at least 500 billion. I don't dare to accept such a large sum of wealth. Family Head, please don't scare me."
"Haha, look at you." Hua Yueling smiled and said, "Today's gifts are actually just an appetizer. We have already received news that in a few days, the royal families of the other major Astrals will all rush here. The businesses there are worth at least a few trillion. Money is just a number. As long as you sincerely form an alliance with the Hong Family, we will definitely not mistreat you. "
"That's right, Wuyou. Just accept it." Hong Xingyu directly decided on the matter. "If there are any good cooperation opportunities in the future, I guarantee that you will be included."
"Then … alright." Ye Wuyou was not a slow person and instantly nodded.
Soon, the Chief Butler walked in and said in a low voice, "Family Head, Tong Qusha, the head of the Tong Family, Han Xiongfei, the head of the Han Family, and Zhang Qingchuan, the head of the Zhang Family, have all arrived and are waiting outside. They don't dare to come in without your orders."
"These three useless people are all here?" Hong Xingyu sneered. "They chose the Bei Family previously. They have good foresight. Tell them to wait outside until we have nothing else to do after dinner."
Hearing Hong Xingyu's words, Ye Wuyou subconsciously raised his head to look at the time — yup, it was 9 AM now. These three people would probably have to wait for a long time …
As they spoke, there was suddenly a commotion at the door. Then, a figure rushed in and pounced on Hong Xingyu. He knelt on the ground and hugged Hong Xingyu's thigh. "Family Head Hong, I was wrong. I was blind. It's all my fault. Please forgive me …"
"Hm?" Hong Xingyu took a closer look at the person hugging his thigh. When he saw clearly who it was, he instantly sneered. "Aiya, I was wondering who it was. Isn't this Bei Mingxuan's number one lackey, Liu Mingyi, the head of the Liu Family? Why, what wind blew you here? Are you trying to hug the Hong Family's thigh in the future? "
The person in front of him was the head of the Liu Family, Liu Mingyi!
When the Hong Family and the Zhu Family set the Marriage Annulment Challenge, Liu Mingyi immediately stood on the side of the Bei Family and the Zhu Family. He had secretly done a lot of things for the two families.
Now that Hong Dali got third place in the Astral Genius Battle, such a result would immediately attract the attention of the major Astrals. By then, the Hong Family would be able to negotiate big deals with other Astrals. Any one of them would be worth tens of trillions. The Hong Family's strength would skyrocket. By then, enemies like Liu Mingyi would definitely end up in the worst state.
Therefore, Liu Mingyi did not care about his reputation anymore. He immediately rushed over to hug Hong Dali's thigh.
