Chapter 83: Question — What Is the Name of This Mountain? The Person Who Answered Correctly Is...
In an instant, the vast, starry illusion of space transformed into a lush, verdant forest.
The livestream camera hovered high in the sky.
Looking down from above, the forest stretched endlessly, a sea of green formed by countless towering trees.
The camera began moving quickly.
Soon, a conical mountain shaped like a unicorn horn appeared within the livestream.
The camera zoomed toward the peak, circling it and displaying every angle of the mountain to the audience.
Finally, the camera rose above the summit to provide a bird's-eye view.
And at that moment, everything froze.
A line of blood-red text appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the same time, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in their ears:
[Ding! The playback has ended. The Q&A begins now!]
[Question: What is the name of the mountain shown in this livestream segment?]
[This round's reward: For humans — one chance to upgrade any spirit ring to the ten-thousand-year level with no side effects; for spirit beasts — one chance to increase cultivation by ten thousand years.]
A reward that can upgrade any spirit ring to ten thousand years?!
The moment this was announced, soul masters everywhere were thrilled.
After all, spirit rings were of critical importance to soul masters.
Even for a Titled Douluo, gaining an additional ten-thousand-year ring meant a significant boost in combat strength.
And for lower-ranked soul masters — anyone below the Soul King level — receiving such a reward would be a game changer.
In the battle arenas, a soul master below Soul King possessing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring could easily dominate others of the same rank.
And ten thousand years of cultivation?!
At the same time, in the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian, and in the vast sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, both felt the pull of temptation.
Previously, both had been punished in earlier livestreams for giving incorrect answers.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had even lost ten thousand years of cultivation.
Now, if he could win this reward, he could reclaim what he lost!
Unfortunately…
Though the question seemed simple, even Ning Fengzhi was stunned upon seeing it.
Ning's vast knowledge came from being stuck at Rank 79 due to the limitations of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
To overcome this, he read every type of scholarly work available.
But his focus was mostly on theory, skills, and cultivation methods.
He had little knowledge of geography.
And this mountain appeared to be hidden deep within a forest — likely an obscure, undocumented location.
It would be very difficult to identify.
Not just at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan — across other factions, the reaction was the same.
Even the mighty spirit beasts were at a loss. The mountain clearly wasn't located in any known spirit beast territory.
However, within the Star Luo Imperial Palace—
As the stream ended and many major powers struggled to find the answer—
A scholar within Crown Prince Davis's research team suddenly stood up.
"Your Highness, this mountain is called Saint Louis Mountain!"
The scholar, thrilled that he recognized the mountain, rushed to Davis and whispered in his ear.
"You're certain?"
Davis still hesitated.
"Your Highness, I've been there before. Its shape intrigued me, so I looked into it. I promise, there's no mistake! But you must hurry before someone else answers first!"
Seeing the scholar's confidence, and knowing this could be their best shot at winning, Davis made his decision.
[Davis: The name of this mountain is Saint Louis Mountain!]
What the—Davis answered?!
Was he right or wrong?
In the back mountain of Notting Academy, Lin Yan saw that it was Star Luo's Crown Prince who answered and became curious.
He certainly didn't know the answer himself.
Now, as Davis had submitted a response—
The rest of the continent's powers continued frantically searching for clues, all hoping he was wrong.
But within the Star Luo palace—
The emperor Dai Tianfeng's scholar team finally verified that the mountain was indeed within Star Luo territory and was indeed called Saint Louis Mountain.
Dai Tianfeng was overjoyed.
It didn't matter that he hadn't answered — his son had. That was good enough for him!
The Heaven Dou royals had been arrogant lately because their alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan led to two previous wins.
But what did those wins have to do with the Heaven Dou royalty?
This time, his own son had won it for Star Luo — that was something to brag about!
[Notice: Davis's answer — The mountain in the livestream is called Saint Louis Mountain — is correct!]
[Reward: One ten-thousand-year spirit ring upgrade has been granted!]
"Haha! I got it right!"
Realizing he'd answered correctly, Davis was overjoyed.
[Davis: Livestream host, I want to upgrade my third spirit ring to ten thousand years!]
Though upgrading his first ring would technically offer the most efficient improvement—
Davis, now a Soul Elder, had White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation as his first three rings.
Rather than upgrading a defensive skill, he chose to enhance the third ring — White Tiger Vajra Transformation — which amplified his overall strength.
[Dai Tianfeng (satisfied): Haha! Well done, Davis! @Xue Ye, Xue Xing, Meng Shenji… see that? This reward belongs to the Star Luo Empire! Your Heaven Dou court may have gotten lucky before thanks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, but this win belongs to my son Davis!]
Hearing Dai Tianfeng's smug words, Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, and Meng Shenji all wore dark expressions.
They cursed inwardly.
So what if you got one question right? Why act so arrogant?
Even Lin Yan had answered correctly five or six times — and he didn't boast like that!
Davis, meanwhile, basked in the glow of victory.
