Heroes' Prison

Chapter 563 - 544 Not Invincible

This System Prompt resounded in the ears of ten billion viewers worldwide, in every competitor who had fallen on the battlefield, in countless televisions, radios, and handheld photon brains in the real world!

This System Prompt, like a thunderclap, echoed across the skies of the whole world, stunning everyone!

Heroes’ Guild had finally won the team championship after overcoming innumerable hardships!

They had defeated an opponent that was supposed to be invincible!

Japan, ranked 10th in worldwide population, boasts several hundred million players. The Martial Arts Guild had gathered all of their nation’s top experts, with endless trump cards at their disposal—a nearly invincible national team!

Yet this invincible national team was still defeated by the Heroes’ Guild!

A guild’s team had defeated a national team!

This was a myth, an epic, a legend!

"China is invincible!"

"Heroes’ Guild is invincible!"

"God of Slaughter is invincible!"

In an instant, the entire venue became an ocean of cheers from Chinese players!

All of the national flags, all of the Slaying Flags, all of the excited faces filled Huang Yi’s every line of sight!

Huang Yi closed his eyes, listening carefully to the tide of cheers!

This battle had been incredibly difficult to win, the process fraught with twists and turns; of the five hundred Heroes’ Guild members, only his incarnation remained alive. If any skill had been misused, or any judgment been incorrect, they could have easily lost the match.

Fortunately, they stumbled to a win. Although there had been mistakes and detours, they finally took the last step and won the team championship!

This match, lasting less than ten minutes, felt as long as a century!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this match was full of twists and turns! No, it was extremely unpredictable, but in the end, Heroes’ Guild triumphed! The Martial Arts Guild brought together all the top experts from Japan, a veritable national team! Yet they were defeated by Heroes’ Guild! If Heroes’ Guild were to gather all of China’s top players like the Martial Arts Guild did, combining forces with United Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, Thunder God, Dao Feng, Unbeaten, Yun Sihai, Lin Yiqin, Dong Huan to form a team, then the Martial Arts Guild would stand no chance at all. China truly deserves its reputation as the strongest nation, with just a guild’s team being this powerful!"

"In this martial arts tournament, God of Slaughter undoubtedly stood out the most. In the solo finals, he feigned defeat, but in reality, he was the biggest winner, and in the team competition, he almost single-handedly held his own against the entire Japanese National Team. It’s hard to imagine anyone more deserving of the next annual grand ceremony’s Best Individual Award. Shortly, we’ll have the last round of awards ceremony for the entire martial arts tournament, where God of Slaughter and Miyamoto Musashi—the winners of the team and individual championships—will both deliver their speeches..."

At this time, numerous reporters were also excitedly providing commentary on the post-battle, even reporters from some Japanese TV stations voiced their admiration for Heroes’ Guild!

Huang Yi, too, laughed heartily, finally letting go of the tension that had been building up for a while!

This grueling martial arts tournament had finally come to an end!

This tournament, where dragons fought tigers, had almost gathered all the top experts from around the world, and he was just one of them. He had no certainty of winning the championship, it was difficult even to make it to the quarterfinals, relying on some calculations to finally pull through.

Looking back, so many things had happened during this period, each step was thrilling.

The invasion of The Seven Archdemons, the use of True and False Instant-Kill Potion, the secret cooperation with Thunder God, forfeiting during the solo finals, the stock price fluctuations of the Hero Guild, being the first to reach Level 100 during the awards ceremony, the mad money-making in the prize pool, the frantic pursuit by the Half-Beast Holy Land...

If he hadn’t handled any of these matters properly, he might not have won the championship!

But now, he had achieved perfection! Overcoming all setbacks, he became the ultimate winner of the martial arts tournament!

Huang Yi bowed to the ten billion spectators and, along with the Heroes’ Guild, teleported out of the competition’s battlefield, returning in triumph.

Almost instantly, the empty Dragon City was filled with players who had teleported in. Every street, every alley was filled with cheers, reaching to the heavens!

"Big brother, we’ve won; I can hardly believe it!" Qin Shiyu said, grabbing Huang Yi’s hand excitedly.

"Brother, I can’t believe we’ve actually won either!" Xiao Chunzi said as she hugged Huang Yi’s thigh, looking up with her little head.

"I’m also a knight just like Zhitian Shi, I never imagined her Class Exclusive Skill would be so strong!" Supreme Overlord Flame remarked.

"I truly didn’t expect that, out of so many teams combating worldwide, it would be us who ended up on the victory podium!"

"It’s lucky I declined the invitation from the Hall of Famous Generals and joined the Heroes’ Guild; otherwise, I’d be just another name among the masses!"

At this moment, almost all members of the Heroes’ Guild had gathered around Huang Yi, turning their heads to stare at him, looking at a leader they would follow for life, filled with admiration, trust, worship, and various other emotions.

Huang Yi looked around at everyone, his gaze sweeping over the faces of each member of the Heroes’ Guild. He gave a slight smile and said, "You’ve all worked hard during this period! The award ceremony is about to start. You will all make appearances on stage, so get ready quickly! Your relatives and friends, parents, secret crushes, the girl next door, your classmates, teachers... they will all be able to see you. Make yourselves look sharp and stunning, don’t be sloppy!"

Huang Yi’s words drove the already passionate atmosphere among the Heroes’ Guild to new heights!

Everyone in the Heroes’ Guild was beaming with joy, embracing each other and crying with happiness, in a state of extreme excitement.

Groups celebrated with one another, some tidying up their clothes and hairstyles, changing into solemn suits, making themselves look dashing and striking as they nervously awaited the start of the award ceremony.

And like a tidal wave, congratulation messages from various guilds, big and small, poured in for the Hero Guild!

At that time, the Minister of Affairs Yi Feng quickly approached Huang Yi. His voice rang out loudly as he read some important congratulatory messages—

"Dao Feng’s Xuanyuan Guild sends a telegram of congratulations, wishing the Hero Guild victory in the team competition! We hope that our guilds can make progress together in the future, like brothers and sisters!"

"Dragon Spike’s Dragon Nation sends a telegram of congratulations, wishing the Hero Guild victory in the team competition. The Foreign Minister of Dragon Nation intends to visit Dragon City next month!"

"Dugu Lengcang’s Lone Army Guild sends a telegram of congratulations, wishing the Hero Guild victory in the team competition! Looking forward to strengthening economic cooperation with your guild in the future!"

"One of China’s top ten adventure groups, Zi Wuyan Adventure Group, sends a telegram of congratulations, wishing the Heroes’ Guild victory in the team competition! In the future, we are willing to embark on joint adventures with the Hero Guild."

"China Potion Alliance sends a telegram of congratulations, wishing the Heroes’ Guild victory in the team competition! And hopes to collaborate with God of Slaughter in developing Level S potions!"

"One of China’s top ten guilds, Desire Kingdom, sends a telegram of congratulations, with the guild leader Desire Arises from the Heart praising God of Slaughter as China’s pride."

"One of China’s top ten guilds, the Styx Sect Guild, sends a telegram of congratulations!"

"China’s famous Eternal Myth Guild sends a telegram of congratulations!"

"One of China’s top ten guilds, the Undying Guild, sends a telegram of congratulations!"

...

After the Heroes’ Guild won the championship, countless guilds, large and small, close or distant, all sent congratulatory messages and expressed their eagerness to enter various types of cooperation with the Hero Guild, showing the powerful influence of the Heroes’ Guild.

A team championship proved the strength of the Hero Guild!

Before this, the Hero Guild was simply a guild standing under Huang Yi’s spotlight. Outsiders, when mentioning the Hero Guild, could only think of Huang Yi, the entire guild drowned in his aura. It was like the past Xuanyuan Clan, overshadowed by Dao Feng’s brilliance.

But now, the Heroes’ Guild had won a team championship, and this was an honor for the entire Hero Guild! The status of the Hero Guild had risen, earning respect from countless people! Many congratulatory messages mentioned the willingness to collaborate with the Hero Guild in various aspects, no longer focusing solely on Huang Yi as an individual.

Huang Yi smiled contentedly, his goal had been perfectly achieved. From now on, the Hero Guild could grow freely without his embrace, even if one day he was not around, the guild would not easily fall.

About ten minutes passed when the long-awaited System Prompt finally rang out—

"[System Prompt]: The final round award ceremony of the Martial Competition is now open. As you are an awardee, please teleport to the award ceremony venue promptly."

This award ceremony was also the closing ceremony of the Martial Competition. It would present awards to Huang Yi and Miyamoto Musashi as well as their respective teams, and they would give acceptance speeches.

Huang Yi immediately chose to teleport, and in a blink, he entered the Second Dimension Space for the award ceremony.

At this moment, players all around the world were hardly over the shock from the team finals when they were teleported to this Second Dimension Ceremony space. Journalists and commentators from various countries shifted their focus from the just-concluded team competition to a recap of the Martial Competition.

Soon, a male and a female host stepped onto the central stage, looked around, and with resounding voices said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final award ceremony of this Martial Competition..."

After the hosts gave an opening speech in the two universally spoken languages of Chinese and English, they immediately got to the point: "Next up is the team competition award segment! In this Martial Competition, the battle between dragons and tigers, all the world’s top teams were involved in the contest. After a long fight, the Heroes’ Guild broke through and overcame all challenges, finally claiming the team competition crown. The Heroes’ Guild hasn’t been established for a long time and is far from comparable to those veteran teams. But their rise has been as swift as God of Slaughter, a sight to behold. The performance of the Martial Arts Guild was also remarkable, especially in the finals, where Zhitian Shi’s display was particularly eye-catching. Now, please let all players from both teams come to the stage!"

As the words ended, all players from the Heroes’ Guild and the Martial Arts Guild were teleported to the central area of the stage.

Huang Yi and Miyamoto Musashi, the two team leaders, stood at the most prominent positions at the front of their respective teams.

At this time, all eyes in the venue were focused on these thousand people, especially the five hundred members of the Heroes’ Guild. These five hundred had varied identities in reality—some were students, some were office workers, others were laid-off employees. But at this moment, their school principals and teachers, and even the mayors of their cities, looked on proudly from the audience. Once the ceremony concluded, these members would become stars, and their cities would hold grand welcome ceremonies, with mayors even delivering television speeches.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Huang Huapeng, the CEO of Era Corporation, to present the awards to both teams!" As the host finished speaking, a familiar figure was instantly teleported to the scene, none other than Mr. Huang Huapeng, the CEO of Era Corporation.

With the hostess’s lead, Mr. Huang Huapeng soon approached Miyamoto Musashi, starting by presenting the runner-up awards. (To be continued.
