Chapter 3824 Winning the Championship

The competition ended, and the next round continued without the need for a draw.

According to the competition rules, Ye Bufan would fight Jin Meier for the top spot, while Dongfang Daoyuan and Aoyue Fairy would contend for third and fourth place.

Everyone present was excited, thinking they would see two more Dragon-Tiger battles, but the result was a great disappointment.

Dongfang Daoyuan had just unleashed the Heavenly Dao Nine Consecutive Slashes, completely exhausting his Immortal Essence, leaving him without the strength to fight.

Moreover, he was an arrogant person; since he had already lost the top spot, there was no need to fight again, so he directly conceded on the spot.

Now, everyone's eyes were on Ye Bufan and Jin Meier.

“This is the last match, will we still not see him make a move?”

“This guy hasn't moved a single finger since the competition started, he won't just directly win the top spot, will he…?”

“Heavens, just let him make a move once, win or lose, I just want to see it…”

The crowd around them discussed animatedly, and it proved that their bad premonition had indeed come true.

How could Mei'er possibly fight Ye Bufan? She directly conceded on the spot.

At this point, the Hundred Champions Competition, from team battles to individual battles, was completely over.

At this, countless people were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with extreme disbelief.

“Oh my god, what’s going on? He actually won the top spot!”

“Is there any justice left? If this is allowed, I could win too…”

“Pinch me, am I dreaming? How could something like this happen?”

The crowd below the stage couldn't believe their eyes; such a situation had never occurred since the Hundred Champions Competition began, nor had they even heard of it.

Just signing up and winning without even making a move completely refreshed everyone's understanding.

Even the Immortal Venerable old monsters on the stage had strange expressions.

This should be the most controversial champion in tens of thousands of years; if you say he's fake, he still followed the rules, match by match.

But if you say he's real, he didn't fight a single match, didn't make a single move, and yet he reached this position.

You can have a comeback, be a dark horse, but you should at least make a move; the result was that no one even saw what his strength was like.

Even the many Elders on the viewing platform had strange expressions.

Fairy Chixia, however, had a faint smile on her lips; she had no objection to Ye Bufan's claim to the top spot.

Although she didn't see him make a move, he earned it through his strength.

If it weren't for his Medical skill, Ao Yue Fairy and Qin Muyue certainly wouldn't have conceded; if it weren't for his Medical skill, the few people from Lingyun Sword Sect wouldn't have been so strong.

Therefore, Medical skill is also part of strength; his ascent to the top spot was definitely not by luck, but by his own strength.

Wu Huo Daojun, though somewhat disappointed by his Disciple's defeat, was ultimately the Grand Elder of Tiandao Sect, possessing great magnanimity and demeanor.

At the end of the competition, the final results were announced publicly, and as previously agreed, the top three received Immortal Crystal rewards.

Ye Bufan received 300 million for first place, Jin Meier 200 million, and Ao Yue Fairy 100 million.

What shocked everyone even more was that after Jin Meier and Ao Yue Fairy received their Immortal Crystals, they all gave them to Ye Bufan, making countless people present envious, jealous, and resentful.

After a simple ceremony, Wu Huo Daojun said, “Alright, Disciples who made it into the top hundred of the Hundred Champions Competition, go back and quickly adjust your state.

Sects whose members were killed or severely injured and cannot enter can send other Disciples to substitute; prepare to enter the Yuangu Secret Realm tomorrow.”

This was also a previous rule: the spots obtained in the Hundred Sects Tournament belonged to the Sect, and if a participating Disciple could not continue due to death or severe injury, others could be substituted.

Amidst the clamor, the various Sects dispersed, some excited, some disappointed, some angry, and some full of unwillingness.

Ye Bufan led everyone back to the inn, and shortly after entering, Fairy Chixia walked in.

“Congratulations, Divine Doctor Ye, for winning the Hundred Sects Tournament!”

She was genuinely happy for Ye Bufan; upon entering, she cupped her hands in congratulation.

“It's nothing, just luck!”

Ye Bufan modestly replied.

“Divine Doctor Ye is too humble; there's no such thing as luck in such a major competition.”

Fairy Chixia did not continue the topic: “I came today, firstly, to congratulate the Divine Doctor, and secondly, to explain some matters about the Yuangu Secret Realm clearly to the Divine Doctor.”

She was truly grateful to Ye Bufan, and considering that neither Dile Heaven nor Lingyun Sword Sect had ever entered the Yuangu Secret Realm, she specifically came to explain.

“That's great, then I thank Elder very much here.”

Ye Bufan quickly thanked her; he indeed had some unclear questions and it was a good Opportunity to ask Fairy Chixia.

“It's nothing; before entering the Secret Realm tomorrow, Wu Huo Daojun will certainly explain to everyone again, but knowing earlier allows for earlier preparation.”

Fairy Chixia began to explain, “The Yuangu Secret Realm opens once every hundred years; although the time may vary slightly, it won't be a huge difference.

The time inside after entering is three days; you cannot leave within three days, and you cannot stay after three days; at that time, the Secret Realm will automatically send those who entered out from the entrance.”

Ye Bufan was somewhat surprised; this was different from the Secret Realms he had entered before.

“Elder, are there no teleportation tokens or anything similar? What if we encounter irresistible danger?”

“No,” Fairy Chixia said, “The rules of the Yuangu Secret Realm are different from the outside world; communication jade talismans cannot be used there, and teleportation tokens cannot be used either.

Once inside, all contact with the outside world is completely cut off; one can only wait for the three days to expire and be automatically sent out.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded, and Jin Meier and others also listened intently beside him.

Fairy Chixia continued, “Entering the Yuangu Secret Realm is somewhat special; the opening time is about half a quarter of an hour, and only one person can enter at a time, with different transmission locations after entering.

So, be prepared; although each Sect enters five people, the five people cannot be companions.”

At this point, she looked at Ye Bufan: “Medical Immortal Ye, may I ask, what is your true strength?

Every time the Yuangu Secret Realm opens, there are great Opportunities, but also infinite dangers, so it must be treated with caution.

Also, I see that many Sects harbor hostility towards Medical Immortal Ye; you must be careful after entering.”

Ye Bufan asked, “I was just about to ask Elder, can one kill people within the Yuangu Secret Realm?”

“Theoretically, no. According to the regulations of our Three Sects, Five Factions, Seven Great Families, one can seize treasures within the Yuangu Secret Realm, but not harm lives.”

At this, Fairy Chixia shook her head slightly, “But the Secret Realm is self-contained, and even Immortal Venerables from outside cannot probe it.

At the same time, there are various dangers inside; if someone dies in there, it's impossible to explain how they died, so this rule doesn't have much effect.

Therefore, Divine Doctor Ye must have the ability to protect himself; human hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows what kind of hostility others might have towards you.”

“I understand.”

Looking at Fairy Chixia's concerned gaze, Ye Bufan said, “Elder, rest assured, I do have the strength to protect myself.”
