Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Then let's question it," Yan Huan immediately offered a solution.

"You wouldn't be thinking of just putting that huge gold trophy on the table behind you, would you?"

“Yes.” Apophis nodded.

"This is the most conspicuous place. Once everyone sees the gold trophy, they won't be so panicked because of that prophetic dream."

"Emmm..." Yan Huan asked curiously, "So, is this prophetic dream normal?"

"Why have we never seen anything like this before? Could they all be extras?"

Apophis shook his head. "It's hard to say."

“In Onphalus, a place filled with Titan miracles, it is not surprising that prophetic dreams would appear.”

"There are rumors that the Golden Descendants who inherit divine power often have such dreams, and the content of these dreams usually comes true one by one."

"Lord Yan Huan, have you never had such prophetic dreams?"

“Absolutely not.” Yan Huan shrugged.

"Perhaps I'm not worthy of having this kind of dream."

"But I'd also like to see the gold trophy, since it will definitely be mine in the end."

"Uh... Lord Yan Huan, you're a bit too confident," Apophis cautioned.

"The Leopard Bumping Battle is not just a simple fight; many factors will affect the final result."

"I know," Yan Huan said, arms crossed, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I've been a pro gamer since the beginning of my journey."

"Testicles?" Apophis was taken aback. "There are children here, please don't be so rude..."

"I'm talking about expert players!" Yan Huan said seriously.

"For the nameless guest, puzzle-solving and gaming are both essential skills."

"I've participated in countless events like the Leopard Bumper Battle."

"Basically, if I dare to claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first."

"Really?" Tibo walked over slowly, and seeing how energetic Yan Huan was, she smiled and said:

"If I had known, I wouldn't have given in to Xiao Huan."

"Actually, Tibo has hidden strength, but Nian Xiaohuan has done so much for the Holy City, so she didn't take the competition seriously."

"Oh? Lady Tibo is here too." Apophis looked at Tibo.

"What are your thoughts on the prophetic dream? Should this gold trophy be displayed?"

“Wow… a gold trophy.” Tibbo thought for a moment:

"In my opinion, instead of being afraid of prophecies, we should present them openly and honestly."

"Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, there's still Aya's gold thread."

"If someone can break the gold trophy under these circumstances, there are probably very few people in the Holy City who can do that."

Aglaia's gold thread, after all, is the gold thread of a demigod.

With divine protection in the gold thread, and the trophy being gold, how could it possibly break easily?

“Alright, we’ll do as Lord Tibo says.” Apophis immediately agreed, “We’ll bring it out during the knockout stage.”

"To be honest, this prophetic dream has been making headlines online recently."

“A large number of citizens have questioned the damage to our gold trophy and claimed that participating in the Leopard Bumper Challenge is no longer meaningful.”

"Perfect timing, this approach will also appease the public."

"Pacifying the people is so annoying..." Yan Huan said, crossing her arms.

"Public sentiment is easily swayed. If bad people use public sentiment to create chaos, then it will be troublesome."

"In my opinion, we should keep this trophy hidden."

"If any citizens have questions, there are so many drones available now, why not just show them to the public with cameras? There's no need to actually bring them out..."

"?" Apophis was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

"That's right, as expected of Lord Yan Huan!"

"We don't need to actually bring out the gold trophy; isn't it enough for the audience to see it?"

"I'll get it done right now..."

Watching Apophis dash off in a flurry, the little boy wearing sunglasses said in a deep voice:

"Forget about any prophecies..."

He looked at Yan Huan.

"Yan Huan, I watched all your matches. You are very talented and strong."

"Now, [Leopard Bumper Battle: Ultimate Evolution Edition] is officially open to you."

"What is that?" Yan Huan asked, puzzled. "And who are you, little friend? Are you your parent?"

"?"

"Have you already forgotten who I am?"

Ah Shuifeis explained:

"I am the eldest of the three brothers, Ah Shui Fei Si."

"Although Apophis has been in contact with you more often, I am undoubtedly the leader of the three."

"Only those who gain my approval can be considered true masters of collision."

"You? Boss?" Yan Huan stared at the little boy's face, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.

He reached out and took off the boy's sunglasses, examining his clear yet foolish eyes.

"Damn, it's you? Didn't I give you hamburgers and cola before?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Ah Shuifei snatched the sunglasses back, put them back on, and coughed lightly twice.

"Just to clarify, [Leopard Bumper Battle] is for fun, so that everyone can enjoy the fun of little seals bumping into each other."

"In other words, this is a very easy and stress-free game."

"And [Leopard Bumper Battle. Ultimate Evolution Edition] is a carefully designed challenge, with each level's opponent being a little seal personally paired by me, the eldest brother."

"There are also different difficulty levels, suitable for true masters."

"Big brother, I'm not one to stick to the rules. Originally, to participate in [Leopard Bumper Battle: Ultimate Evolution Edition], you needed to have at least 20 baby seals..."

"But now that you've made it through the group stage, it doesn't matter how many baby seals you have."

"Wait a minute." Yan Huan interrupted A Shuifei's incessant chatter.

Why should I participate in this... Ultimate Evolution version?

"When I participate in a regular competition, at least I get a gold trophy. What are you going to give me with this ultimate evolution version?"

"Honor!" A Shuifei smiled smugly.

"For a challenger like you, isn't honor the best reward?"

"Tch." Yan Huan turned and left.

Ah Shuifeis: "..."

Chapter 1409 Let You Spit It Out

a period of time.

In the center of the Leopard Bumping Battle venue.

"After a short break, the [Leopard Bumper Battle] knockout stage officially begins. All players holding the [Silver Cup Badge] will compete in this stage to determine the winner who will advance to the championship!"

Apophis looked at the contestants present and raised his voice:

"—Before introducing the contestants, I have an urgent piece of good news for our audience!"

"The [Golden Seal Cup], sponsored by Lady Aglaia and crafted by the master craftsman Hattonus, is also given a special display lens by us!"

A link suddenly appeared on everyone's communication stone tablet.

Once you click on it, you will be redirected to the live display of the Golden Seal Cup.

"Look! That beautiful golden spiral! It surpasses all the luck in the world!"

Wow! It really is pure gold!

[It looks so heavy, can a normal person carry it?]

[So, was that prophetic dream a hoax? After all, the Golden Seal Cup is perfectly intact!]

[Not necessarily...maybe this is just a screen recording.]

"Ahem, everyone."

Apophis said in a deep voice:

"Recently, many people have been spreading unreliable prophecies—[The golden cup will eventually shatter, and no one will become a champion.]"

"Please don't believe us, our Golden Seal Cup is perfectly intact and will never break."

"Next, we will continue to introduce the contestants who possess the [Silver Cup Badge]..."

Apophis approached the advancing contestants and introduced them one by one.

Yan Huan couldn't help but look to the side, where a tall mountain dweller stood.

He wore heavy armor over his dark blue skin, his body was hunched over, and he scratched his head from time to time, looking rather dim-witted.

In addition, the contestants include a child, a strange rocking horse, a strange Zagres Hand, and a strange bathhouse sprite.
