Chapter 32: A Resounding Victory and Endless Growth

Although the Iron Turtle King was frozen, it did not mean it was dead. Once the ice thawed, the Iron Turtle King would be severely injured at best, but it would still be quite troublesome to deal with. The freeze could only last for two minutes. Within those two minutes, he had to find a way to increase his strength once again. And the only way to increase his strength was to immediately secure victory in the challenge against District 44!

Thinking of this, Ye Chuyun quickly opened his storage space to check the challenge tokens he had harvested. His eyes lit up with joy. At this moment, there were actually 45 challenge tokens in his storage space! These had been obtained by killing thirty Iron Turtle Beasts and the four great leaders. Ye Chuyun then checked the progress.

District 44: 16 challenge tokens
District 118: 8 challenge tokens

Ye Chuyun was overjoyed. The winning condition for the resource challenge was to collect 50 challenge tokens. The 45 tokens he possessed were enough for District 118 to win this challenge!

At the same time, the chat channel was in chaos.

Sam from District 44: "Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I just dropped another challenge token. Now our District 44 has 16 tokens, which is double that of District 118."

Jack from District 44: "Oh, my God, it’s only been over an hour, and we’ve already gathered 16 tokens? As expected of the esteemed Mr. Sam."

Ryan from District 44: "Look at District 118, they’ve only managed 8 tokens after playing for so long. May God bless them."

Wang Gang from District 118: "Damn it, how are they so fast? Is a D-rank talent really that powerful?"

Cai Kun from District 118: "It’s been so long, why hasn't Boss Ye made any move yet?"

Wang Yun from District 118: "Sigh, it's so frustrating. Captain Wang, let's hurry up and hunt more fierce beasts."

Zhuang Liang from District 118: "Holy crap, haven't you guys noticed? Boss Ye is already level 8. Am I the only one who discovered this?"

Sam from District 44: "What??? What are you guys saying? Someone there has reached level 8???? That’s impossible."

Ryan from District 44: "Humph, they must be lying. Isn't putting on a brave face what the Dragon Country people are best at?"

Jack from District 44: "Our respected Mr. Sam has only just reached level 6. How could you possibly have a level 8? Stop joking."

Zhuang Liang from District 118: "Who asked you to believe it? Believe it or not, I couldn't care less."

Cai Kun from District 118: "Holy crap, Boss Ye really is level 8. I swear he was level 6 before. Boss, don't ride a rocket; I'm here on a bicycle and can't keep up!"

Feng Yu from District 118: "Also, I have a bold idea. Could Boss Ye have already collected the challenge tokens and is just waiting to drop a bombshell?"

Wang Gang from District 118: "Holy crap, now that you mention it, given Boss Ye's past style, it's actually possible."

Ruth from District 44: "What are you talking about? It's over. These Dragon Country people have gone crazy and are starting to fantasize. Oh God, please save them."

Ryan from District 44: "Ignore these lunatics. According to my calculations, it will only take another four hours for Mr. Sam to collect 50 challenge tokens. Prepare to welcome victory!"

However, right at that moment, a golden announcement message appeared in the chat channel, standing out prominently.

[Announcement: District 118 is the first to collect 50 challenge tokens. District 44 has failed the challenge!]
[Announcement: All members of District 118 receive a reward of +30 to all attributes.]
[Announcement: District 118 receives double the resources in the Trial Grounds!]
[Announcement: The person who contributed the most during this challenge is Ye Chuyun, with a total of 42 challenge tokens contributed. He is rewarded with 50 free attribute points and 2 Mysterious Iron Treasure Chests!]
[Announcement: Ye Chuyun has led his district to victory using a resource challenge token for the first time. Reward: 10 reputation points!]
[Notification: The challenge has ended. The chat channel will disconnect from District 44.]

Cai Kun from District 118: "Holy crap, holy crap! What happened? How did we suddenly win??"
Feng Yu from District 118: "Holy crap, Boss Ye, I was just saying that randomly! You actually did it?"
Wang Gang from District 118: "You contributed 42 at once, Boss Ye, tell me, are you really not cheating??"
Huang Li from District 118: "Happiness came so suddenly! District 118 is rich now!"

The chat channel exploded, and all of District 118 was cheering. Conversely, in District 44, the chat channel was filled with wailing.

[Announcement: District 118 has won. District 44 has failed the challenge. Penalty phase beginning!]
[Penalty 1: All members will have 30 points deducted from all attribute stats!]
[Penalty 2: All resources in the District 44 novice village will be halved!]
[Execution starting immediately!]

Jack from District 44: "Oh God, how is this possible? Is the person on the other side a son of Satan? This cheat is way too big."
Ryan from District 44: "No, no, no! The attribute points I worked so hard to get are all gone!"
Fury from District 44: "Shit, shit, shit! It's all your fault, Sam! Why did you have to provoke the people of the Dragon Country and make them hold a grudge against our District 44 village?"
Sam from District 44: "Shut your mouths!! I’m innocent too, aren't I? I wasn't the one who challenged the District 118 novice village; they challenged us."
"Besides, you are all too useless. I was the one harvesting the challenge tokens the whole time. How many did you contribute?"
Mary from District 44: "Oh, no!! I had finally almost killed this giant lizard, and it just suddenly disappeared!"

The two Trial Grounds shook continuously. Everyone in District 118 saw their four-dimensional attributes increase by 30 points, while everyone in District 44 saw theirs decrease by 30 points. Large quantities of treasure chests, spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and various minerals appeared in District 118, while they vanished from District 44.

At the same time, Ye Chuyun stood where he was, with multicolored light flashing through his body. His Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit all increased by 30 points. In this moment, his aura surged, and his combat power climbed steadily. It felt incredible. The 50 free attribute points also arrived. Then, two Mysterious Iron Treasure Chests slowly descended along a beam of light. Ye Chuyun caught them quickly and placed them into his storage space. Just then, a voice appeared in his mind once again.
