Tiger’s mouth twitched slightly.
His instincts told him that without the reward, Zayne probably would not even bother talking to him.
The mont they shook hands, the photographers nearby started snapping photos nonstop.
Nancy appeared again, smiling sweetly at the cara.
"Dear viewers, as you can see, the city lord is having a friendly exchange with our champion."
"The city lord holds great expectations for this year’s Old Shipyard Port champion..."
Zayne cooperated fully, showing a polite smile to the cara.
He lowered his voice and asked quietly.
"By the way, City Lord, how are the five million paid?"
"Transfer to my account or cash?"
"I do not even have a bank card yet."
Tiger laughed helplessly.
"Do not worry, Zayne."
"This money will not be missing."
"City Lord, you do not understand."
"I lived in the slums for over ten years."
"I am terrified of being poor."
"If the money is not in my hands, I cannot feel at ease."
Zayne spoke with complete sincerity.
Tiger fell silent.
Five million was not a small amount, but as the city lord of Old Shipyard Port, would he really default on it?
"Speed up the process."
"Let us go straight to the award ceremony."
Tiger said helplessly.
"Understood, City Lord."
Nancy imdiately complied.
All the complicated procedures were skipped, and they went straight to the awards.
Three hostesses in formal dresses walked over gracefully, each holding a tray.
"The first reward is five million in cash."
"This is Old Shipyard Port’s official encouragent."
"We hope Zayne remains humble and continues to achieve greatness."
Tiger smiled as he handed Zayne a large board marked five million.
The photographers snapped away.
After the photos were taken, Tiger handed Zayne a card.
"The second reward is a bundle of epic grade skill selection scrolls."
The mont this was announced, many people’s pupils shrank.
A self selection skill scroll at epic grade was an extrely generous reward.
It ant that no matter the class, one could choose a suitable epic skill.
However, when Tiger handed the scrolls to Zayne, Zayne’s mouth twitched.
As a Forbidden Spellcaster, skill scrolls were completely useless to him.
Even wiping with them would feel too stiff.
Still, he accepted them.
There was no way he would embarrass Tiger in public.
"The third reward is an entry token for the Champion Secret Realm."
Tiger handed Zayne a token and explained.
"The Champion Secret Realm is only accessible to city champions."
"This realm is extrely special."
"Everyone who enters gains an immortal body."
"What?"
Double J shouted in shock.
"Does that an you can ignore everything and just farm monsters nonstop in there?"
"Yes."
"Everyone who leaves the Champion Secret Realm is at least level twenty."
Tiger nodded.
"Then why not stay inside forever and grind to level ninety nine?"
"You cannot die anyway."
Double J asked, confused.
"Because the monsters inside are limited."
"The realm can only open once a year after long nourishnt."
Astrachior explained.
He then looked at Zayne.
"This realm suits you very well."
Zayne nodded, a burning light flashing in his eyes.
He could finally go all out.
Tiger patted Zayne heavily on the shoulder and spoke loudly.
"Zayne, work hard."
"Try to bring back a national champion title for Old Shipyard Port."
"There is a national champion too?"
Zayne asked.
"Of course."
"When everyone exits the Champion Secret Realm, the one with the highest level is the national champion."
Tiger explained.
"Then what is the reward for national champion?"
Zayne asked imdiately.
That was what he really cared about.
"I do not know."
"Old Shipyard Port has never produced a national champion."
"But one thing is certain."
"The reward will definitely be better than the city champion’s."
Tiger explained patiently.
With Zayne around, this year was clearly Old Shipyard Port’s best chance.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Zayne beca very interested.
After Tiger left, Astrachior called Zayne into the room alone.
"Zayne, rember one thing."
"Do not use Forbidden Spells that consu lifespan inside the Champion Secret Realm."
"Because although the realm grants immortality, it cannot slow aging?"
Zayne asked.
"Correct."
"You are very smart."
"And one more thing."
"After you leave the Champion Secret Realm, return to Old Shipyard Port as soon as possible."
Astrachior looked out the window.
A green mantis leaped up and clamped its prey tightly with its claws.
"Those people may soon find the Gate of Apocalypse."
"Understood, teacher."
Zayne touched his stomach.
Inside it, a key lay quietly.
Early the next morning, Tiger appeared again.
He brought Zayne to the core area of Old Shipyard Port.
There, a teleportation array rested silently.
All cities in Aurelion were connected by teleportation arrays.
Outside the cities, terrifying monsters were everywhere.
High speed trains and planes from the past were useless.
They would be intercepted by monsters halfway.
Each activation of a teleportation array consud massive resources.
Not only ordinary people, even many awakened never left their birth city their entire lives.
If not for Zayne, Tiger would never have activated it.
"Zayne, do your best."
As Tiger encouraged him, the teleportation array lit up with dazzling light.
Zayne’s vision shattered like a broken puzzle.
It felt as if he were soaring through the air.
A strong sense of weightlessness made him extrely uncomfortable.
When the scene reassembled, Zayne found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Since coming to this world, this was his first ti leaving Old Shipyard Port.
Zayne blinked and looked up.
Before him stood a towering city wall that pierced the clouds.
It was like a massive mountain blocking the sky.
Flags fluttered atop the wall.
A ferocious dragon was embroidered on them, fierce and domineering.
Outside the wall stretched endless hordes of monsters.
They roared and howled, slamming into the wall again and again.
Yet they could not cross it.
Zayne stood there in a daze.
He had never seen such a magnificent sight.
This was a world he could never imagine in Old Shipyard Port.
The prosperity of a great city.
The terror of monsters.
The strange atmosphere rushing toward him.
All of it left him shaken.
He took a deep breath to steady his surging emotions.
At that mont, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
"You must be Zayne, the champion from Old Shipyard Port."
"Welco to Bitnoris."
"Please co over here and register."
