Chapter 152 A hefty sum ripped off the major powers! A ton of treasures!
"Reporting to the City Lord, all have been collected!"
Sikong Zhen responded respectfully and summoned numerous treasures.
"This is a tribute offered by the various forces that are entering the city for the first time!"
"The Haotian Sect possesses a perfect 50,000-year-old soul bone..."
"Poseidon Island, a low-grade treasure—Primal Crystal..."
"The Sun and Moon Royal Family possesses a low-grade treasure—an iron sword..."
"The ocean, a piece of soul bone from 100,000 years ago..."
"The Demon Forest, a 100,000-year-old soul bone..."
"Star Dou Great Forest, a 100,000-year-old soul bone..."
"In the far north, a low-grade treasure—Primal Flow Crystal..."
"In total, four soul bones and three low-grade treasures!"
As Sikong Zhen's report slowly began to rang out.
All eyes in the hall were on him, and many people were secretly astonished.
Each of these prayer gifts, if taken out, would be enough to cause quite a stir in the outside world.
But now they've all fallen into Chang'an's hands. How could they not feel envious, jealous, and resentful?!
Ye Han glanced indifferently at these treasures.
The fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat, making a soft "tap-tap" sound.
The sound was exceptionally clear in the hall, causing the hearts of all the major powers to tighten.
They were afraid that these treasures wouldn't catch Ye Han's eye.
"Hmm, that's quite sincere."
Ye Han accepted all the treasures.
Seeing this, the various factions present breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Han's gaze swept quickly over them, and he said authoritatively:
"Now, let's get straight to the point! Regarding the matters concerning this 'Strongest King Peak Tournament'!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately perked up.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Ye Han to say something next.
"The core rules of the competition remain the same as previously stated."
"Those who rank in the top ten will all receive the ultimate blessings from Chang'an!"
"Furthermore, those from Chang'an who have been ranked on the Martial Soul Quality Ranking will not participate in this competition!"
As soon as Ye Han finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heated.
The forces that entered the city a second time were already aware of the rules, and their expressions remained relatively calm.
The members of the faction who were entering the city for the first time were filled with unbelievable surprise.
The allure of the "ultimate" was irresistible to all factions present.
Moreover, none of the divine-level martial soul owners from Chang'an who made the list participated in the competition!
Does Chang'an still have any fighting force to offer? This is like a windfall!
wrong!
Suddenly, everyone remembered Dian Wei and Miyamoto Musashi from Chang'an.
These people possess divine-level martial souls, yet they are not on the martial soul ranking list, which means that Chang'an must have a backup plan!
Moreover...
Suddenly, someone remembered something and asked respectfully:
"Lord Ye, I have a question for you. Are the magical beasts from your Chang'an participating in the competition?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Han's authoritative voice slowly rang out:
"Since so many soul beasts have come here, Chang'an will naturally send magical beasts to participate in the competition, so that humans and beasts can compete on an equal footing!"
"If there are no objections, then offer up your treasures in exchange for the qualification to participate. For forces entering the city for the second time, the first participant will not require any additional conditions!"
After listening, the group of soul beasts nodded in approval.
Equal competition between humans and beasts is extremely advantageous for soul beasts!
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, and their goodwill towards Ye Han increased even more.
The major human factions fell silent instantly, their eyes revealing a troubled expression.
Whether they are spirit beasts or magical beasts, their overall combat strength is higher than that of humans of the same level.
After all, even if a soul beast exhausts its soul power, it can still fight for a long time thanks to its powerful physical body.
If they unfortunately encounter a soul beast, things could get really tricky!
Unfortunately, there were many Warcraft factions participating this time, and they had no choice but to accept it.
After a fierce internal struggle, the various human factions finally nodded in agreement.
"We have no objections!"
As soon as the words were spoken, various factions offered up their most precious treasures in exchange for the right to participate in the competition.
Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward.
Record the treasures offered by each faction and the list of participants.
For forces entering the city for the second time, the first participant requires no additional conditions. List:

Here is a treasure: a near-divine artifact, the Extreme Shadow.
After Shangguan Wan'er finished counting, she respectfully reported to Ye Han:
"A total of thirteen factions! Thirty participants!"
"Nine human factions, with twenty-one participants; four soul beast factions, with nine soul beasts!"
"I present you with nineteen treasures! One quasi-divine artifact, one mid-grade supreme treasure, ten low-grade supreme treasures, and seven soul bones!"
Hearing this, the various factions felt a pang of heartache.
These treasures almost all came from the heavens and were given away before they could even be properly kept.
But when they thought of the divine reward and the "ultimate" blessing, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!
"very good!"
Ye Han looked at the treasures offered by various forces and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"Before the competition begins, I'd like to add a few more rules. Listen carefully!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.
Ye Han's voice, carrying an undeniable authority, resounded throughout the entire hall:
"Once the competition begins, Chang'an will send an equal number of strong individuals to be randomly matched against you."
"If any of you win, you can continue to match until a final winner is determined! But if all of you lose your first match, the tournament will end prematurely!"
Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in another uproar.
If they all lose their first matches, will the tournament end prematurely?!
What did Ye Han mean by that? Did he think they were likely to lose everything? Wasn't that a bit too confident?!
Many of them are level 99 powerhouses, and many dare not even dream of being in the top ten, but winning a match is their only goal!
