Chapter 159: Evidence of the Overlord
Li Qing showed some interest and said:
"Tell me."
Wan Ziqing reached out and grabbed a chair and sat down, saying:
"Let's talk about the rankings first. There are three types of rankings: the Demon God Altar, the individual's strength, and the one who gets first place will get the title of Demon God Altar Overlord, as well as the Overlord Certificate."
"The second is a gathering of heroes to test the strength of your subordinates. The one who comes first will be awarded the title of president of the gathering and a certificate of hero."
"The third type is the Thousand Army Monument, which tests the strength of subordinates. The one who gets first place will be awarded the title of Thousand Army Monument Army Master and the Thousand Army Certificate."
"In addition, there is also the overall first place, named Bingzhu."
"The three titles not only represent personal experience and honor, but also have other functions. They will bring additional benefits when you are promoted to a formal war lord in the future."
"We are ashamed of our individual strength. The title of Demon God Altar Overlord and the Overlord Certificate have been secured by His Excellency Li Qing. We will not challenge him again, but we will not hesitate to challenge the Heroes' Gathering and the Thousand Army Monument."
Li Qing asked in surprise:
"What? Are you asking me to give up participating in the Heroes' Gathering and the Battle of the Thousand Army Monument?"
"No."
Wan Ziqing waved his hand and said:
"Of course there are no restrictions. You can participate. But I don't think that Mr. Li Qing has the ability to take first place in all three events, right?"
He smiled and said:
"We don't know how Lord Li Qing gained such strength, but as far as we know, it is unlikely that you will have powerful heroes and troops given your background. That's why I said you have no chance in the Gathering of Heroes and the Monument of Thousand Armies."
"Of course, if you can give us another surprise, we would be more than happy to do so."
"By the way, since Lord Li Qing has already stood shoulder to shoulder with us, according to the rules, certain rules will also apply to you."
Li Qingqi said:
"What rules?"
"According to the rules, we are only allowed to compete for the top three places, and no competition is allowed for the following places."
“There are such rules!”
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and asked:
"If you don't make the top ten, or you're not allowed to make the top ten, how will the overall evaluation be calculated?"
Wan Ziqing wondered:
"Why would you and I care about the overall evaluation? If we can't get into the top three, just give up. We don't lack that..."
Having said this, Wan Ziqing paused and looked at Li Qing with a strange look in his eyes.
"In fact, you won't lack anything. With your strength, you will definitely be noticed by the True Gods in this summer camp. They will probably rush to accept you as their disciple. You won't lack these gains then."
"Of course, some things are hard to say..."
"Well, if the organizing committee has not explicitly told you that you are prohibited from participating in the ranking, you can challenge at will."
After saying this, they started talking about other things.
It was rare to hear the inside gossip of this level of elites, so Li Qing listened with great interest, including some shocking inside stories of the second phase of the summer camp.
The party only lasted two hours before it ended, and Li Qing and Gu Qingxin left together.
After sending her back to the gate of Manor No. 3, she stretched out her hand to straighten his clothes and whispered:
"Even though they have recognized you, it doesn't mean they will obey you. You still have to fight for what you need to fight for. Don't be polite to them."
Li Qing nodded:
"I know. I saw Murong Shifang was very unconvinced just now. He roasted a dragon and ate it right after he lost to me. I could sense his hostility."
Gu Qingxin nodded:
"Just so you know. Be careful. If they do anything unconventional, tell me."
Li Qing used his fingers to pull up her hair from her forehead and nodded:
"Don't worry, I won't be stubborn."
After waving and watching her enter the manor, Li Qing turned around and went back.
On the way back, he kept thinking about what his girlfriend had said and recalling what happened at the party.
When he returned to his residence, before he had time to calm down and think, he received a message of congratulations from Tai Shujing.
He responded with a smile, then calmed down to think.
If what his girlfriend said is true, the essence of this party simply means that he has been recognized by them and is on the same level as them, which does not mean anything.
This does not mean that they want to win me over or anything.
Even the enthusiasm they show at parties is merely the normal social etiquette they have been taught.
Any normal person can put one face on the surface and another face behind the scenes, and elites like them are even more proficient at it.
Maybe he is secretly unwilling to accept it, like Murong Shifang who lost to him in a head-on battle.
I guess other people didn't take it too seriously. If they really took it too seriously, they wouldn't have prepared a real dragon heart and a lot of dragon meat for him to eat when they knew he was of dragon descent.
If one or two people didn't notice it, it's impossible that more than ten people didn't notice it.
"It seems that with the strength I have shown now, simply having them recognize my strength does not mean they will recognize me and include me in their circle, let alone be convinced."
"It's normal to be unconvinced. After all, you are born divine. As long as you follow the procedures, it is natural that you will be deified."
"And I was not born divine. Although the Ancient Dragon is powerful, in their eyes I am just a lucky guy who got a super-strong bloodline. It is not 100% certain that I will be deified in the future, so naturally they will not accept it."
"It turns out that this is not enough!"
Li Qing smiled slightly.
In this way, he won't have to be polite at the later gathering of heroes and the monument of thousands of soldiers.
In the following days, Li Qing basically went there every day to clock in, show up, and then go home.
Because no one dares to challenge it anymore.
It is certain that he cannot be defeated even the strongest of the dozen or so Sons of Destiny, let alone the others.
Li Qing was also happy to have some free time. He would clock out every day and then do research at home.
It is worth mentioning that although he did not receive any private message from any big shot, Master Tai Shujing told him more than once that more than a dozen big shots had contacted Master Tai Shujing and all of them were willing to accept him as a disciple.
However, due to the rules, no one is allowed to contact the contestants before the comprehensive assessment is over.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, the instructor could at most tell him that a big shot was optimistic about him, but he was not allowed to tell him who was optimistic about him, nor was he allowed to tell him the conditions they mentioned. All this would only be known after the first phase of the summer camp.
This made Li Qing feel relieved.
Anyone who can be called a big boss must be a true god-level strongman. No matter who he is, as long as he is willing to cultivate himself.
A month passed in a flash. On the 30th day, Li Qing showed up at the Demon God Altar early, which was rare. He then sat at the top of the Demon God Altar until the last moment.
Then, a dazzling divine light descended from the sky and enveloped the Demon God Altar, which also emitted a dazzling light and slowly rose.
The contestants in the square looked up with envy. Even though they couldn't see anything, they could vaguely feel that something was coming at this moment and being injected into their bodies through the Demon Altar.
Li Qing knew that this was destiny.
Demon Altar is the number one in the summer camp and a prodigy of the human race recognized by the Eternal Tree. Naturally, he can gain some favor from heaven.
This thing is useless at ordinary times. It can only come into play when you are promoted to a formal war lord in the future, or promoted to a legend, demigod, deified, or even to the throne of God.
All those present were elites. The possibility of them becoming gods was low, but it was no problem for them to be promoted to legends and become official war lords.
In addition, a light curtain popped up in front of Li Qing, and a series of rewards appeared in front of him.
50 points for the top 100, 50 points for the top 10, 300 points for the first place, which can be accumulated, as well as a divine grace.
In addition, there is another very important reward, which is the 'Certificate of Domination'.
There was nothing substantial, only a ray of transparent green light that fell from the sky and injected into Li Qing's brow, condensing into a tiny rune that looked like a demon altar. After it lit up for a moment, it quickly merged into the flesh and blood and disappeared. Then his pupils slightly dilated, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Before, he didn't know what the certificate of domination was used for, but now he knows.
Proof of Domination: A unique reward for the Overlord of the Demon Altar.
Attribute 1: The protection of the Eternal Tree, which allows a perfect resurrection once.
Attribute 2: Can be exchanged for three divine favors.
Attribute Three: Promoted to a formal war lord, you will gain unique additional options.
Property 4: Can be used as firewood when lighting the sacred fire.
Attribute 5: Transformed into the relic 'Certificate of the Overlord' to gain unique relic effects.
Attribute six: ???
All I can say is that it is indeed an extraordinary good thing, and Li Qing treasured it and kept it.
I haven’t figured out how to use it yet, so I’ll just keep it for now.
It is worth mentioning that the perfect resurrection of attribute one has additional restrictions for Li Qing. It is only limited to those below the legendary level, just like the protection effect on him.
They sat on the Demon God Altar and performed for a whole day until the host appeared again and announced the end of the Demon God Altar stage. The Demon God Altar was slowly folded up, and they were teleported out one after another.
"Congratulations to Li Qing for becoming the Overlord of this year's Demon God Altar. The first stage has ended, and the second stage of the Heroes Gathering will begin tomorrow."
The light ball incarnated by the host appeared again above the square and loudly introduced the rules of the next stage to them:
"The Heroes' Gathering tests the strength of the heroes under your command. Only heroes under your command are allowed to participate."
"The rules for participating in the battle are as follows. There are two battle modes in the Heroes Conference. One is the strongest hero mode, and the other is the group hero mode."
“The strongest hero mode allows you to send out your strongest hero to challenge, the rules are the same as the Demon Altar; the group hero mode allows you to send out up to five heroes to form a team to participate in the battle.”
"The first place in the Strongest Hero Mode will receive the title of Strongest Hero, and the first place team in the Group Hero Mode will receive the title of Group Heroes. The rewards for both modes are only half of those for the Demon God Altar, but the first place will receive a divine grace."
After reading the rules announced by the host, Li Qing pinched his chin and thought:
"Only five heroes are needed for a team match!"
He began to get restless.
Forget about challenging the strongest hero, even the top three probably have no chance, as these born divine beings all have those super-powerful supermodel heroes under their command.
It's not a guess, she said it when we were chatting casually before.
They can seal their own power to adapt to growth, or they can seal the power of a true demigod to serve themselves. Every natural born god seals a demigod as his own hero of the divine realm, similar to a protector.
Although demigods are not as powerful as true gods, they are also very powerful.
The key is that the demigod is not sealed because he is unable to control his own power, so part of the seal can be released at any time to release the power of the demigod, so there is no way to defeat him.
Li Qing can rely on the power of the ancient dragon to overwhelm the natural god, but his subordinates do not have the strength to defeat the sealed demigod.
so……
When the challenge started the next day, Li Qing didn't even glance at the top three positions, and directly sent his men to challenge the fourth place.
Anyway, they can only compete for the top three and are not allowed to compete for rankings after fourth place.
When Li Qing chose to avoid them, Murong Shifang, who had been holding his breath and waiting for him to enter the rankings before challenging him, was dumbfounded .
"grass!"
Since he didn't even challenge the top three, all the ideas in Murong Shifang's mind were useless.
However, things were not going well for Li Qing. He thought he could avoid the top three without those cheating supermodel heroes. With the many high-level dragons under his command, he would definitely be able to get into the top ten.
However, the result was somewhat beyond his expectations.
In the team competition, they successfully defeated their opponents and won the fourth place. After all, the five upper dragons with legendary templates were too strong. When they transformed into giant dragons, no opponent could stop them.
Even if there are powerful heroes, legendary templates, even all legendary templates, they are no match for the superior dragon clan, which is a powerful fighting race.
Even within the same rank, there are strong and weak.
But when it comes to single-hero challenges, the results are not satisfactory.
The subordinate he sent out to fight was An Erqiu, who, as a destined hero, was stronger in combat wisdom than Long Shou and Long Fa.
But he didn't expect to lose in the first round of challenge.
The reason is simple. Some people followed suit and sealed some legendary heroes to challenge as heroes.
Although many contestants were not born divine, many of them are descendants of true gods. Those who are not born divine cannot control the sealed demigods, but they have no problem controlling the sealed legendary strongmen.
For players like them who grew up normally , is there any difference between a demigod and a legend?
There isn't much difference, they are both irresistible.
So the road to singles was extremely difficult. He suffered consecutive defeats all the way down from fourth place. He kept winning, but was defeated again, and his ranking dropped. He won again, but was defeated in another challenge not long after, and his ranking dropped again.
By the end of the month, he was barely edging toward ninth place.
On the contrary, the team competition was relatively stable, losing only once in a month and finally ranking fifth.
The final settlement is equivalent to two top ten places, a total of 100 points.
After the war, Li Qing received another invitation from Wan Ziqing and others to a party. At the meeting, he could clearly feel the pride under their serious expressions.
There was no ill intention in it, it was simply the feeling of being released from the frustration of being suppressed by Li Qing, a person who was not the son of destiny, in the last round.
Except Murong Shifang.
Li Qing could guess the hidden meaning - you see, the gap is the gap. Being able to compete with us by relying on special talents is only a strength comparison, nothing else can compare.
Of course Li Qing had nothing to say. He shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
After these two rounds, he had already accepted the reality. If he couldn't win, he couldn't win. There was no point in thinking about it. He just had to do his best to strive for the best result.
Anyway, I have already taken first place, and all the places in the second round were in the top ten. As long as I can get in the top ten in the third round, there will be no problem in getting into the top three overall.
In fact, Li Qing was more confident in the third round than in the heroic battle because he had a trump card to use.
