Was 50 Black Sea coins exciting enough?
It was for Tang Ling, and probably more exciting than he could ever ask for.
However, there was another more significant excitement for him which was the ring defender!
The ring defender had to go through three matches in order to win. Anything else would be considered a loss.
Once the ring defender lost, he would not be given a penny of compensation. Even if the ring defender made it to the third match and lost, the reward from the previous two matches would also be forfeited. The worst thing was after the loss, the ring defender would be prohibited from participating in any common ring matches for three years.
What if the ring defender managed to win all three matches?
On top of a whopping 300 Black Sea coins as a reward, the ring defender would be crowned with the title of Man of Darkness and be eligible to participate in the weekly matches, plus a 200 Darkness value bonus!
