Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 419: Chapter 417: White Training Grand Ceremony Ends (164/187)

These past few days the subscription rate hasn’t risen, so I hope my brothers will offer more support. I’m asking for subscriptions, recommendations, monthly tickets—all kinds of support!

————————————

When the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin unleashed its ultimate move, faint explosions occasionally sounded from the edge of the city.

As the Blood and Flesh Guanyin Statue charged up to battle fiercely with the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, the sound of explosions became even more pronounced.

Finally, a violent explosion echoed from the edge, ushering in a rush of fresh air. The battle in the sky paused for a moment, but in the next instant, the Blood and Flesh Guanyin Statue and Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin resumed fighting, completely ignoring the situation here.

They did not know that a fox’s laugh sounded from the crack here.

Meanwhile, outside the teleportation gate of the White Training Grand Ceremony in Bailian City, Gu Xi watched the gate slowly darken with a grim expression, feeling somewhat relieved.

Five players still hadn’t come out, and it seemed unlikely they would.

Fortunately, Gu Xi exited a step earlier; otherwise, he would also be trapped inside.

Moreover, judging by the current situation, the bigwigs of Bailian City showed no intention of intervening to save anyone.

The last few hard-headed players could only hope for their own fortune.

Gu Xi retreated as the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin reached into the black energy mirror surface.

As Gu Xi said, he didn’t need to see the situation outside; he just had to wait, as someone would naturally remind him when to leave.

Upon realizing the moment had arrived, Gu Xi ignored everything else and chose to exit this world on the spot.

Thus, he managed to withdraw under relatively safe circumstances.

At the instant of exit, Gu Xi discovered a crowd of prominent figures surrounding the teleportation gate.

The chairman of Chaoyang Radiance Guild, with a celestial and profound demeanor, was also there, albeit positioned towards the outer edges.

Seeing Gu Xi emerge, he pushed aside the people blocking his path and approached Gu Xi with a beaming smile.

”Please step aside, that’s my member.”

”Yes, he is the chief of this session, and he has made quite a good haul this time.”

”What do you mean by ’quite good’? Just being slower to come out than the big guild players makes it good?”

”The most important thing is that he came out alive, isn’t it?”

The chairman walked up to Gu Xi, speaking each word deliberately, then tightly grasped Gu Xi’s hand.

”You are back. We’ve all heard what you did this time. You really made us proud. Even if you chose to forgo everything to come out early, you’ll receive all the rewards promised initially.”

”Thank you, Chairman.”

Gu Xi politely replied.

He intended to inquire about the players who had emerged previously but was led by the chairman to meet guests—or rather, to be extolled.

Gu Xi only needed to serve as a backdrop, following behind the chairman and watching him interact with others.

The players who came out this time also served as evidence of Gu Xi’s role in the White Training Grand Ceremony.

Even veteran and large guilds like Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild couldn’t refute anything.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the players from these guilds came out later than those from Chaoyang Guild, so even when the chairman kept boasting provocatively, all they could do was endure.

Though they listened to the Chaoyang Radiance Guild chairman’s bragging, their gazes occasionally shifted towards the teleportation gate leading to the White Training Grand Ceremony.

As long as someone managed to complete the ceremony successfully, they could retort and embarrass the chairman of Chaoyang Guild.

At the very least, they could suppress some of the arrogance from Chaoyang Radiance Guild.

But in the end, their hopes were never realized.

Soon after Gu Xi exited the White Training Grand Ceremony world, the teleportation gate began to tremble, followed by a freeze-frame of the scene behind the gate.

This indicated that the world behind the teleportation gate had been completely destroyed.

The last few players couldn’t make it out.

Witnessing this, Gu Xi was confident in his judgment, realizing his choice was correct.

He finally settled most of his worries and dutifully followed behind the chairman to bring honor to him.

Seeing the situation, other guilds also understood that the White Training Grand Ceremony was over. Even if they continued to wait here, it wouldn’t change the current reality.

Consequently, the chairmen of those large guilds dispersed, leaving only the top guilds to discuss the subsequent matters.

This White Training Grand Ceremony could be considered a failure, yet not entirely.

To call it a failure, over three hundred players went in with only fifty-some surviving, a survival rate of less than one-sixth, and not one making it to the end.

Not entirely a failure, as they thwarted the combined efforts of Qiufeng City and Cold Leaf City, who faced an even graver situation. Out of their combined nearly seven hundred players, not one returned alive.

This effectively wiped out the elite from Qiufeng City and Cold Leaf City’s new batch of players.

To Bailian City, this was certainly favorable.

At the very least, for a long period, Bailian City would hold a stronger advantage in occupying small and medium-sized new worlds nearby.

Hence, guilds accepted this outcome.

Now, they were deliberating how to issue rewards this time.

Additionally, they needed to discuss further ensuring no one takes advantage in the next White Training Grand Ceremony.

These matters didn’t concern Gu Xi.

After boasting about Gu Xi for half a day, the chairman proudly patted Gu Xi’s shoulder and said, ”You can head back now. This time, I am determined to tear off a large chunk from those guilds.”

”Chairman.”

”Go ahead, Li Xinghui is waiting for you outside. After heading back, take a good rest; don’t rush into training or participating in new world challenges.

Your reward will be discussed after I return.”

With that, the chairman of Chaoyang Radiance Guild lifted his head in pride, straightened his cap with confidence, and approached the top guild leaders.

Even though Chaoyang Radiance Guild only had one person emerge this time, even Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild acknowledged Gu Xi’s significant contribution, ranking him at the top in the White Training Grand Ceremony.

Additionally, with Steel Ghost Claw Guild angering many, requiring significant compensation, he was bound to seize some resources forcefully.

Gu Xi should receive some great rewards.

Approaching the leaders of the top guilds, he loudly declared, ”Chairman Huang, Chairman Liu, earlier I heard you say that during this White Training Grand Ceremony, Steel Ghost Claw Guild wouldn’t get anything.

While I certainly agree with it, mere non-distribution isn’t sufficient.

If Steel Ghost Claw Guild’s vice chairman defected to Qiufeng City and Cold Leaf City, it would be highly detrimental to our Bailian City.

If Steel Ghost Claw Guild doesn’t present some compensation to settle the matter, small guilds like ours might develop some unnecessary thoughts.”

”What do you propose?”

”I heard Steel Ghost Claw Guild is pioneering a large world...”
