Bai Chenxiang and Pei Xijun arrived at the square, which was already packed with people.
Everyone had arrived early, eagerly awaiting the announcement of the final rules and rewards.
Bai Chenxiang walked onto the platform; she scanned the square and immediately spotted Tang San.
Tang San, dressed in a blue battle robe, stood calmly and inconspicuously among the crowd.
He saw Bai Chenxiang walk onto the platform but paid her little attention.
Instead, his gaze repeatedly swept over the crowd around Bai Chenxiang, seemingly searching for someone.
Having learned everything from Zhuge Lan, Bai Chenxiang now knew Tang San like the back of her hand.
She knew that Tang San must be looking for Zhuge Lan at this moment.
Bai Chenxiang stood on the platform, feigning composure, feeling the presence of the furball beneath her forearm.
Because that was the last trump card Zhuge Lan had given her…
Although Zhuge Lan appeared calm and confident, Bai Chenxiang was still very worried.
She then looked in the direction where Pei Xijun was standing.
At this moment, Pei Xijun stood with Lu Lingfeng, and Pei Xijun also looked at Bai Chenxiang, nodding to her as if to say:
"Don't worry! I've got this!"
Lu Lingfeng, having also learned the full story from Pei Xijun, was closely monitoring Tang San's every move.
Bai Chenxiang cleared her throat and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, fellow clan members! Tomorrow is the Limit Challenge Competition finals, and your enthusiasm truly astounds Chenxiang!"
Upon hearing this, the clan members erupted into deafening cheers.
After a brief pause, Bai Chenxiang continued:
"First, I will announce the rules for tomorrow's finals. The finals will be in a one-on-one format, determining two first-place winners: one for the men's group and one for the women's group."
After the rules were announced, another round of cheers erupted from the clan members.
The clan members whispered to each other, discussing excitedly.
"Wow, this final is actually an individual battle; it's definitely going to be exciting!" a young clan member exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, I wonder who will be the first place in the men's group and women's group? I can't wait!" replied the person next to him.
"I think Lu Lingfeng in the men's group definitely has a great chance; he's so strong." another clan member expressed his opinion.
"That's not necessarily true; Sha Zhuge crushed Lu Lingfeng in the last round, so the outcome is hard to say." someone offered a differing opinion.
A female clan member also said, "I think for the women's group, the champion must be Pei Xijun."
"Yes, my Goddess Xijun's strength is in a league of her own among women! Within our Speed Clan, Goddess Xijun's strength is comparable to Young Sect Master Bai Chenxiang's!" a male clan member echoed.
"Indeed, Ahri's strength is also quite formidable, but compared to Pei Xijun, she's still a bit lacking."
The crowd also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a clan member shouted loudly:
"The rewards for this competition haven't been announced yet, Young Sect Master, quickly announce the rewards!"
"Yes, yes! What are the rewards Zhuge Lan mentioned, Young Sect Master, please announce them quickly!" someone else chimed in.
Bai Chenxiang on the platform heard the calls from the clan members, smiled, motioned for everyone to quiet down, and then said:
"The rewards will be announced later; first, let's welcome the contestants for this competition's finals to the stage! First, we welcome Ahri from the women's group!"
A burst of cheers erupted from below the stage; Ahri emerged from the crowd, smiling demurely, her face slightly flushed with shyness.
She slowly walked onto the stage and bowed slightly to the clan members below.
Bai Chenxiang continued, "Next, let's welcome Pei Xijun from our women's group!"
Immediately, another wave of cheers and applause erupted from below the stage, especially from the male clan members, who excitedly shouted Pei Xijun's name.
Everyone's eyes collectively turned towards Pei Xijun's direction.
Pei Xijun elegantly walked onto the stage, her long dress gently swaying with the wind, occasionally clinging to her straight long legs, revealing perfect lines.
"Go, Goddess Xijun! You're the best!" some clan members shouted madly.
Lu Lingfeng, listening to these crazy fans' fervent shouts, felt both helpless and proud.
The goddess you all yearn for is my woman!
Bai Chenxiang motioned for everyone to quiet down: "The women's group final will be Ahri versus Pei Xijun! Next, let's welcome the men's group contestants to the stage; first, we welcome contestant Sha Zhuge."
Bai Chenxiang suppressed her emotions and spoke calmly.
At this moment, Tang San felt a bit wary; he looked at Bai Chenxiang with a questioning gaze, wondering what she was up to.
But now, the square had erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers:
"Sha Zhuge! Sha Zhuge!"
Due to his outstanding performance in the previous round, Sha Zhuge had already gained immense popularity within the Speed Clan and had garnered a large number of fervent fans.
After all, who wouldn't love to see a previously unknown, inconspicuous person, someone perhaps not even recognized before, suddenly emerge as a dark horse, challenging a seemingly unbeatable powerhouse who had long held the top spot?
Due to the atmosphere, Tang San found himself in a difficult position.
He could only walk calmly onto the stage, feeling a bit more cautious.
Bai Chenxiang secretly exhaled and continued to introduce: "Next, let's welcome our last contestant, the number one in our Speed Clan's young clan member strength rankings, Lu Lingfeng!"
Lu Lingfeng walked onto the stage with steady steps, his posture tall and straight, his eyes revealing confidence and determination.
When the audience saw Lu Lingfeng appear, the cheers erupted again, the sound waves seemingly about to overturn the entire square.
The four contestants stood in the center of the stage, and the applause and cheers from below continued endlessly.
Everyone was shouting themselves hoarse for their admired idols.
The cheers slowly subsided after a good while, and only then did Bai Chenxiang speak:
"The rewards for this competition are generous gold coins and the champion's trophy."
The clan members applauded, discussing something among themselves.
Then, a clan member asked: "Didn't Zhuge Lan say he would also give an extra treasure for this competition? What is that treasure? And where is Zhuge Lan? Why haven't we seen him today?"
This clan member had asked the very question on Tang San's mind; he also slowly looked at Bai Chenxiang, awaiting her reply.
Bai Chenxiang slowly said: "Zhuge Lan actually had urgent business three days ago and has already left the Speed Clan, but the treasure he promised has been left behind and entrusted to me."
"What!"
Hearing that Zhuge Lan had left, Tang San's inner rage instantly erupted.
He instantly moved in front of Bai Chenxiang and grabbed her by the collar.
