Chapter 431: Legendary Quest Complete! Rewards Granted
The various organization leaders expressed their desire to recruit Ling Zhan during the handshake ceremony.
Except for Liu Jinglong, the Vice President of the Global Transfer Association.
It wasn't that Liu Jinglong didn't believe in Ling Zhan's potential.
But even he had his own private concerns.
The Global Transfer Association is an international organization, with its upper echelons comprised of leaders from various nations.
Despite his title as Vice President, most decisions were made collectively by national leaders.
If he invited Ling Zhan to join the organization.
He might lose control over Ling Zhan, bound by political decisions.
A prodigy like Ling Zhan, who only appears once in a millennium, should stay in the Dragon Kingdom to truly shine.
The Dragon Kingdom would greatly need such an extraordinary talent in the future.
After the handshake ceremony concluded.
Ling Zhan, who never feared any battle, now felt mentally exhausted.
Once the official procedures were completed.
It marked the official end of the team competition.
And with it, the conclusion of the Global Beast Battleground Tournament.
However...
If you thought everyone was about to head home, that was far from the truth.
Up next was an important resource auction and a farewell banquet.
As mentioned before.
The Global Beast Battleground Tournament was co-hosted by three major international organizations.
On the surface, it appeared to be a stage for top students from the world's elite universities to test their contracted beasts in battle.
But in reality, it was also an opportunity for global leaders to gather and discuss major affairs.
Since the cataclysm, with the fusion of the game and the real world, the planet had expanded many times over, with vast new territories appearing out of nowhere.
This meant there were now many unclaimed lands.
And that's when the competition between nations for territory began—and had to begin.
However, due to the presence of the Four Forbidden Zones, all species were constantly reminded not to engage in internal conflicts.
Since war was off the table, negotiation was the only way forward.
Thus, global leaders often seized these opportunities to sit down together and discuss matters.
Of course...
The emergence of unclaimed lands also attracted major global Associations, organizations, and forces, who took the chance to dispatch their people to stake claims on lands not yet targeted by other nations.
Some of these forces had even established their own nations, complete with their own military forces.
When the global leaders gathered, they also brought with them top-tier resources to be auctioned.
The auction, considered one of the highest caliber events in the world, would take place the day after the tournament in the Royal Manor of the Holy Light Empire.
At the moment.
With the tournament over, the audience began to leave.
After witnessing such a spectacular series of matches, everyone was buzzing with excitement.
Many were still glowing when they mentioned the term "non-specialist," as if speaking of an idol.
And the idol they worshiped...
Had just finished all his social obligations and dragged his exhausted body back to his residence.
Watching his tall figure show signs of fatigue for the first time.
The five beautiful girls trailing behind him couldn't help but sigh.
Wow...
Those intense battles hadn't even made Ling Zhan frown.
Yet three hours of socializing seemed to have drained his energy.
It wasn't physical exhaustion but mental fatigue.
"It's my first time seeing the master this tired," Meng Shuang said with concern.
"It's normal. As humans say, where there are people, there is strife, and where there's strife, there's etiquette. Even Ling Zhan can't avoid it."
"And... he's a legendary double champion as a non-specialist. It's not just the leaders but even the major economic bodies that want to curry favor."
"It's unavoidable."
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox sighed.
"I told Dean Zhou to postpone the celebration banquet. We'll hold a proper one when we get back to the Dragon Kingdom. For now, let him rest," Li Chaoge said softly.
Yun Man said nothing but stepped forward, intending to follow Ling Zhan upstairs.
"Where are you going?" Li Chaoge quickly grabbed her hand.
"I'm going to give my master a massage to relieve his fatigue. What, are you going to stop me from that too?" Yun Man glared coldly at her.
"What he needs now is uninterrupted rest," Li Chaoge replied expressionlessly.
Chang Yue also spoke up, "Li Chaoge is right."
Yun Man glanced at Chang Yue in surprise.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox looked at the expressions of the three women and gave a knowing smile.
Only Meng Shuang blinked innocently.
She sensed the strange atmosphere.
But couldn't quite figure out what was wrong.
......
......
After returning to his room, Ling Zhan took a simple hot shower.
Then collapsed onto the bed, letting out a deep sigh as if expelling all the exhaustion and frustration in his heart.
It was the first time he had returned from a competition and gone straight to bed without training.
Usually, after a match, if he had time, he would still do some training.
Even if time was limited, he would use the system's simulation function to review the day's battles and identify any areas that needed improvement.
But just as he was about to fall asleep...
Ding!!
The familiar system notification sound rang out.
In an instant.
All drowsiness vanished, and Ling Zhan shot up in bed.
[Legendary Quest Completed: As a non-specialist, you have achieved the double champion title, setting a legendary record.]

......
Finally!
The system rewards had arrived!
When Ling Zhan had won the individual championship and received his rewards, he had immediately triggered a new legendary quest.
[Quest Objective: Lead the Dragon Kingdom team to win the team championship and claim the FMVP title, becoming a double champion!]
Now that the trophies were in hand.
The system had settled the quest rewards.
This immediately reignited Ling Zhan's energy, dispelling his earlier fatigue.
Generous!
As always, the rewards were incredibly generous!
A title!
Along with an S-level innate talent and an S-level secret realm talent!
Ling Zhan decided not to sleep, eagerly going through his generous rewards.
