Chapter 1570: You Set Us UpZhang Lie's physical body had grown multiple times stronger as well. The post-tournament Zhang Lie would have been able to defeat the pre-tournament Zhang Lie in just one punch.
Zhang Lie unlocked his apparatus. Outside, Bu Wentian had already prepared a feast for them all.
Bu Wentian stepped forward, his arms outstretched. "Congratulations! You've performed the greatest miracle since the inception of the Cup. None of you belonged to a supreme force, but you bagged the top seven spots in it!"
Zhang Lie drew Guicang and held it against Bu Wentian's neck.
"You set us up!"
Bu Wentian raised his hands in surprise. "Do you mean the fact that I didn't provide detailed information about the Cup?"
Zhang Lie narrowed his eyes. "What else?"
Bu Wentian shook his head. "I don't know anything else."
Zhang Lie frowned. "Why didn't you tell us about the details of the tournament proper? Don't tell us you don't know a thing—even ordinary competitors knew of the information, whereas we went in knowing nothing!"
Bu Wentian replied, "I wanted all of you to understand something about the universe."
"What is it?"
"That it's no simple place. It's filled with competition and cruelty, and I wanted all of you to experience it for yourselves. That's where you're headed, after all." "If you weren't aware of its true nature, you would surely suffer in the long run. I never expected that you would be able to win despite missing much of the background information. You're even more impressive than I dared to imagine, and you created a miracle the likes of which I could never have matched."
Zhang Lie frowned. "And is that it?"
Bu Wentian shrugged. "I've said my piece. Kill me if you want—I wouldn't blame you. But I'm just an avatar, you see. You wouldn't be hurting or threatening my main body by killing me."
"I need sufficient compensation."
Bu Wentian nodded. "Absolutely."
Zhang Lie sheathed his sword. "Are you familiar with the eighth Immortal King?"
Bu Wentian nodded. "The previous Immortal King, isn't he? Of course I know of him. He's an impressive figure, and I was shocked to see him in the tournament."
Zhang Lie was unable to fully trust Bu Wentian, whose background was unknown and who refused to give them any information about where he came from. He chose not to speak of his father.
"When will the prizes arrive?"
"The flower of universal life will take a few days to be prepared, and I'll have to collect it on your behalf. Don't try to do so yourself. The entire universe is
"Hurry!"
Zhang Lie didn't want to be left behind by his comrades.
Bu Wentian waved a hand and teleported Zhang Lie to his own trial chamber. He shouted, "Once you're all finished, let's have a banquet together!"
Team Zenith didn't know the extent of the commotion they had caused. The entire universe seemed to be paying attention. Countless gazes were focused on the redemption of the Cup rewards.
The members of Team Zenith hadn't been seen since the Cup, but surely they would claim their prizes.
The flower of universal life was a rare and invaluable treasure even among the entirety of the universe. No one would give up on such a prize.
As everyone watched on in anticipation, they were astonished to find someone wholly irrelevant step forward, someone who wasn't Zhang Lie or a member of Team Zenith.
