Chapter 970: Victory Anthem (4000‑word Grand Chapter)
Besides my own flashy list, the following is the normal foil‑stamped text.
Second place: I am not Thanos (Eagle Sauce Server)
Third place: Shen Wang (Huaxia Server)
Fourth place: Ke Qiu Sha Zhan Shen (Mao Xiong Server)
…
…
Among the top ten, first is Su Sheng, third is Shen Wang, ninth is Lu Zhe, tenth is Xingchen.
In total, they occupied four slots.
That's right…
Lu Zhe is in ninth.
Although technical flaws have begun to be patched, the whole global debate‑combat is still a tiger lying in wait, a dragon hidden.
It's the various mechanic monsters Su Sheng encountered, plus a bunch of high‑skill operators and the like.
Lu Zhe, after all, has only just started with this game not long ago; although he has innate talent and hands‑on tutoring… and additionally the resource backing from Yanhuang.
Being able to break into ninth place on the global leaderboard in such a short time is already extremely difficult.
Su Sheng believes that with more honing, the next global debate‑combat he can climb a few more rungs.
…
Ding~
System Notification: Global debate‑combat competition ended.
Next, the global debate‑combat competition tasks are being distributed.
Hearing the system announcement, Su Sheng's eyes lit up sharply, here it comes!

"Wow, this reward makes my mouth water."
"Nima, second place already gets Red Equipment!"
"The first place won't give a Divine Artifact, right?"
"At least they're the world's top expert, rewarding a Divine Artifact isn't unreasonable."
"No surprise, it should be a Divine Artifact."
"Mo Wen the Great, you already have a Divine Artifact on you, right?"
"If another one comes, I'm out~"
The onlookers watching the reward announcement couldn't help but have envious tears at the corners of their mouths.
Next, everyone waited eagerly for the first‑place reward announcement.
Su Sheng… also felt anticipation.
Finally…
First place.
Reward: Level +1
1,000,000 reputation, 10,000,000 Gold Coin!
For this class, a random slot level‑adapted equipment draw, one chance (Red, Divine Artifact each at 50%).
One chance to draw special material. (Special‑grade wheel)
…
"Wow, impressive!"
"It's a pity, the reward isn't 100%; it's a Divine Artifact draw, with a 50% chance of Red Legend."
"If you get Red Equipment, you'd be so depressed."
…
Farming~
Level up!
Level +1.
Su Sheng's level jumped straight to 69.
Just this level's reward already saved Su Sheng a lot of time.
He only needs one more level to reach 70!
Level 70 will be a new chapter.
But the Fourth Rebirth to Huangcheng is still far away…
Draw!
Su Sheng immediately opened the equipment draw on the screen.
Sure enough, the probability of Red Equipment and Divine Artifact equipment is split evenly.
Su Sheng ignored the 50% Red Equipment and fixed his gaze entirely on the Divine Artifact side.
Although they're all Three-colored Divine Artifact, the Three-colored Divine Artifact is also a Divine Artifact!
He thought, his spear is only three‑colored.
"Phew~"
Su Sheng did not hesitate.
After a deep exhale, he clicked the wheel draw.
Hope it's not that unlucky.
Finally, the wheel spun rapidly.
Three-colored!
Three-colored!
Three-colored!!
Su Sheng stared intently at the wheel's pointer; even he couldn't stay completely calm at this moment.
Eventually, the pointer slowed as it neared the edge of the Red zone.
Past!
Past!
A bit further, a bit further!
Click!
The pointer stopped completely!
Su Sheng suddenly widened his eyes.
Ding~
Congratulations, player, for drawing the lottery and obtaining equipment.
Victory Anthem (Tri‑color)
…
Got it!!
A pointer appears; when it reaches the edge position it slides very slowly, but eventually it drifts to the edge of the Tri‑color area.
Even though it only scraped the edge, it still counts as having reached the Tri‑color side!
Su Sheng excitedly opened his backpack!
In the slot, a Shield lay perfectly flat, shimmering with brilliant light.
A Shield.
Su Sheng clicked on the attributes.
Victory Anthem (Tri‑color)

Duration: 10 minutes (or until manually interrupted).
Cooldown: 180 minutes
Su Sheng's eyes widened!
A Tri‑color Shield born almost solely for the team!!
…
This Shield's various empowered attributes are quite good.
However, regarding the three Divine attributes, they are entirely for serving the team; calling it an aura Shield is no problem.
Although the passive range is only 50 meters and the increase is only 10%.
But this is a permanent state; as long as you are within the range it takes effect.
Moreover, combined with the second Divine attribute, it adds another 10% increase, bringing the boosted attributes to 20%, and the range reaches 500 meters.
This is definitely the unrivaled weapon for team battles!
It also works for oneself, so it can be used even in solo situations.
Additionally, there is a Barrier skill.
During the Battle for the Cauldron, Daozu's Barrier skill intrigued Su Sheng for a while.
Alright, now I also have a Barrier skill!
It's also quite god‑defying!
Its defense matches mine, and its durability health is ten times mine.
Tsk…
Su Sheng did not hesitate and immediately equipped the gear.
Of course, the original Shield was also quite good,
After all, it was an orange piece of equipment, and it was obtained from my earlier trial mission.
I'll put it back in the guild warehouse later, don't waste it.
Then Su Sheng checked his attributes!
After equipping this Divine Artifact Shield, Constitution and Strength each increased by 320 points, with a Lion Stance present, attack and defense rose directly by 900 points, totaling a 1,220‑point boost to attack and defense.
Health also gained an extra 5,000 points; the Constitution conversion added a total of 8,200 health.
Swapped out, that Furious Lion Shield lost its wall passive… a 10% front‑damage immunity.
But compared to that, the extra exaggerated attributes are a pure profit, not to mention the super team aura inside.
Even Su Sheng is already fantasizing about leading the Kuang Shi Knight Corps in a charge, with all these team auras supporting them.
Who could possibly withstand a charge of this magnitude?
Su Sheng then looked at his total attributes…
His eyes lit up instantly!
Attack and defense directly broke ten thousand! With bare attributes and no buffs, they reached 10,070!
Moreover, HP also surpassed ninety thousand, reaching 90,720.
Tsk…
A numbers monster, I guess that's how it is.
Su Sheng admired his attribute panel.
At this point…
This global martial competition, I can consider my merits fulfilled, and the gains are quite abundant.
Beep beep~
But at that moment, the system sounded a Private Chat reminder.
Su Sheng was puzzled for a moment, opened it and looked.
It was Shen Wang, that old kid.
"Ahem, Chairman Mo Wen, the first-place reward won't be the same as my third, right?"
Shen Wang suddenly acted all pretentious.
Along with the Private Chat, a screenshot was sent, showing a red-quality Red Legend equipment.
Su Sheng shook his head; this guy… At the same time Su Sheng sighed, thinking it must be Teng Long who absorbed the experience from "Qun Xiong"; up to now, obtaining high‑tier equipment in "Zhu Lu" was far easier back then.
Back when Su Sheng spent three years in "Qun Xiong", he hadn't even seen a Divine Artifact, let alone a legend; now in "Zhu Lu", having been on the server for almost a year, he already has three Divine Artifacts on him.
And Shen Wang, that old kid, also has decent luck.
His wheel is red and orange, split half and half.
He managed to draw a Red Equipment, which is indeed not bad.
That is almost equivalent to directly matching the second-place reward.
Of course, if I were truly unlucky and only drew that 50% chance red, it would indeed be as Shen Wang said.
After all, level rewards are all the same.
As for Gold Coin and reputation and such, for people like Su Sheng and Shen Wang, they are basically just icing on the cake.
The real core reward, the main thing, is this equipment.
Only, it's a pity.
I let this old kid down.
Then Su Sheng, being cheeky, found the victory fanfare prompt from the earlier draw.
"Congratulations player, you have drawn equipment."
Victory Fanfares (Three‑Color)
Then Su Sheng screenshot this segment.
He said nothing, just silently sent it to Shen Wang.
As for the actual attributes of the Victory Fanfares equipment, Su Sheng naturally wouldn't tell Shen Wang directly.
The relationship may be good, but it's not to the point where I'd unconditionally disclose a Divine Artifact's attributes to him.
Not mentioning the Divine Artifact, that old kid's Red Legend also didn't send me its attributes; he just sent a screenshot of the acquisition notice like I did.
That's normal; a good Red Legend, even an orange epic with decent attributes, can be called a Bottom Card at a crucial moment.
Not to say it's a Divine Artifact.
"WTF!"
"****"
"Which part of the Divine Artifact is that?"
"I'm telling you, never send me the attributes; I'm not interested at all!"
Shen Wang almost lost his composure.
Normally, given Shen Wang's cultivation and status—after all, he's the Chairman of Huan Yu Guild—he wouldn't lose his composure so easily.
That's a Divine Artifact!
Divine Artifact!
Now the entire Huan Yu Guild still has not a single Divine Artifact.
As far as he knows, Yan Huang already has two Divine Artifacts: Divine Thunder Magic Light and Heavenly Cluster Cloud.
Now this makes it three.
Others can't even obtain one, yet Yan Huang already has three.
In other words, he doesn't know the Devil's Contract exists; otherwise he'd surely be envious.
Su Sheng looked at Shen Wang's last sentence and couldn't help but curl his lip.
Want to see the attributes?
Think about it first, you old kid came to show off, see if I don't drive you crazy.
Besides, that old kid probably got Red Equipment and is a bit excited; if he had checked the equipment leaderboard before provoking me, this probably wouldn't have happened.
After all, Victory Fanfares isn't a Devil's Contract; on the equipment leaderboard, Victory Fanfares now sits proudly at first place.
Tsk…
Su Sheng closed Shen Wang's Private Chat.
Then he saw another lottery option on the screen, tapped his head, feeling a bit over‑excited; there was also a special material lottery.
But regarding this lottery, Su Sheng didn't have high hopes; even if he's first, this lottery is the top‑tier wheel.
Su Sheng also just opened the turntable.
Huo~
In a moment, Su Sheng actually felt somewhat dazzled.
All kinds of miscellaneous materials actually were all there—what Heavenly Bombardment, what one-time unidirectional transmission charm, all were there…
Especially those few colorful special prop materials, Su Sheng stared at them deeply several times.
Draw a prize!
