Chapter 714: Chapter 714: New Rules

Snow Lotus Mountain.

This was a huge mountain peak covered with snow and ice all year round.

The mountain was not only tall and large but also continuous, with extremely dangerous terrain that was rugged and uneven.

Weaker cultivators couldn’t survive inside at all.

Because inside the mountain, not only was the temperature extremely low, but there were also various fierce birds and wild beasts.

Only cultivators of Xuan Rank and above could enter and be able to protect themselves.

Therefore, the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect had set the venue for the Snow Lotus Conference here.

The competitors would be randomly transported to any corner of Snow Lotus Mountain through a special teleportation array.

And the one who lasted till the end without being eliminated was the ultimate winner of the Snow Lotus Conference.

At the foot of Snow Lotus Mountain was a square, made entirely of cold ice.

At this moment, the spectator stands around the square were already packed, a sea of people, dark as far as the eye could see.

And these people were representatives from various Sects, all here to cheer for their respective competitors.

In front of each representative team, there stood a person.

These people, male and female, had one thing in common,

Their internal aura was extremely strong.

They were Elders from various Sects, who had personally led their teams to witness the grand occasion of the Snow Lotus Conference.

Apart from the spectator stands, there were also quite a few figures standing on the Cold Ice Square.

These figures were the competitors of this Snow Lotus Conference, the geniuses from various Sects.

Chen Feng and Wang Cheng were naturally among them.

Of course, among these competitors, the most noticeable were undoubtedly Su Can, Tang Long, and Ming Yan.

After all, among the hundreds of competitors, only these three had reached the Earth Rank Early Stage, truly sons of heaven, monstrous talents.

Everyone on the scene believed that the winner would surely be decided among these three!

And the Sects they belonged to, Leisurely Sect, Flying Dragon Sect, and Nether Flame Hall, had all sent representative teams.

At this moment, the three representative teams were shouting fervently, cheering for the three.

That sound gradually overpowered the other Sects.

There was no way around it, after all, the strength of their Sect’s competitors was clear, with full confidence, their cheering was naturally unambiguous.

This filled the faces of Su Can, Tang Long, and Ming Yan with smug expressions.

They thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.

Seeing Su Can’s smug expression, Wang Cheng, standing beside Chen Feng, scoffed disdainfully, "Pfft, what’s there to be smug about, hasn’t won the championship yet!"

"You shouldn’t feel upset either, isn’t there someone cheering for you too?"

Chen Feng said with a slight smile.

Wang Cheng’s family also had a representative team, and they were also cheering for Wang Cheng at the moment.

In fact, the Sects of all the competitors present had people come, all cheering for them.

Only Chen Feng seemed rather shabby.

In the entire spectator stands, there was only Ye Qianrou, screaming at the top of her lungs to cheer for him.

This attracted mocking glances towards Chen Feng from the audience and other competitors.

"Ugh, how shabby. Dragon Teeth isn’t all that, not even someone to cheer for them!"

Ming Yan glanced at Chen Feng and sneered.

"I think, Dragon Teeth probably knew he would embarrass himself, so they simply didn’t bother sending anyone!"

Tang Long sneered disdainfully.

Hearing this, Su Can simply smiled slightly, not uttering a word, but a hint of mockery still flashed in his eyes.

Faced with the mocking gazes of the crowd, Chen Feng could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.

There was no helping it. Dragon Teeth never got involved in such hustle and bustle, so his support group was limited to only Ye Qianrou.

"Brother Chen, should I talk to my family and ask them to cheer for you too?"

Wang Cheng found it a bit awkward and asked Chen Feng.

"No need, it’s not necessary!"

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head.

He didn’t really care about these things.

After all, the competition depended on one’s own strength. No matter how loud the cheers, without strength, it was all in vain!

Amidst the roaring cheers, two figures, one blue and one white, landed in the square.

It was none other than Tian Bing, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect, and Mo Feiyan, Elder Mo, who had previously assisted Chen Feng.

With the arrival of these two, whether it was the contestants on the square or the representative teams cheering for the contestants in the stands, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Tian Bing walked to the front of the crowd and said, "Thank you all the Sects for being here. On behalf of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect, I welcome you. Now, I would like Elder Mo to announce the rules of the conference and the rewards!"

After speaking, Tian Bing turned his head to look at Mo Feiyan.

Mo Feiyan nodded and then stepped forward, addressing the crowd:

"Thank you all for attending the Snow Lotus Conference of our Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect. Before coming here, you must have already heard the rumors. This year’s Snow Lotus Conference will be different from the usual!"

"First, there are changes in the rules! For fairness, before this Snow Lotus Conference begins, I will distribute a Heavenly Mountain Token to each contestant."

"This Heavenly Mountain Token is crucial; it represents the life of the contestant. If the token is taken, the contestant is immediately eliminated."

"Moreover, at the end, the contestant holding the most tokens will be the winner of this Snow Lotus Conference!"

"Additionally, the number of tokens each contestant holds will directly determine their ranking on the Genius List!"

As soon as Mo Feiyan finished speaking, the whole place burst into an uproar.

Especially the last statement, which caused a change in the expressions of most contestants.

It was known that most contestants actually came with the aim of advancing their ranking on the Genius List, never daring to dream of being the final winner.

However, this change in the rules shattered these contestants’ beautiful dreams.

Previously, the ranking on the Genius List was determined by how long contestants lasted during the Snow Lotus Conference.

That meant, the longer one endured and the later they were eliminated, the higher their ranking would be.

Under such circumstances, even some less capable contestants, provided they could latch onto a strong player or find a hidden spot to lie low, could maintain a decent ranking on the Genius List as long as they survived until the end.

But this new rule, clearly determining rankings based on the number of tokens, meant that to achieve a good ranking, one must fully commit to battling others and seizing their tokens.

As for tactics like piggybacking or playing hide and seek—clearly, those would no longer work.

Due to the importance of the token, no one would be foolish enough to share their token with someone else.

Therefore, this new rule undoubtedly struck those hoping to game the system with a bolt from the blue!
