Sighing, Galeno patted Fade on the shoulder as he said, "Now that the Martial Arts Convention is over, let's prepare for the award presentation ceremony."
"Okay!" Fade nodded, then jumped out the ring with Galeno and returned to the VIP seat.
Next was the award ceremony for each competition. Without the complication of any formalities, the organizer directly distributed the awards to the winners.
Among them, the category that garnered the most attention was naturally the Earth Level. After all, they were the strongest and won the most awards to boot. Moreover, one of the awards was obtaining the long-awaited access to the Dragon Mausoleum.
Under everyone's attention, Galeno retrieved several palm- sized black cards and distributed them to the contestants who made it to the top ten spots. Then he said, "The black card is the entry ticket to the Dragon Mausoleum. You will be notified about the time and venue when it is open. You can travel there on your own by then. Am I clear?"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and immediately tucked their black cards away.
Although the Martial Arts Convention was officially wrapped up at that moment, that was only referring to the official event by the host. The convention, however, was still proceeding.
The audience and many other contestants were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they took it upon themselves to gather in the venue. Some of them were catching up, while others were exchanging martial arts experiences. There were also some who had set up stalls to sell some objects.
The Swallow Lake ushered in a crowded market for the martial artists. They started shopping around. Some martial artists would even rush over to the venue after the convention was done for the sake of participating in this bustling market.
After all, there weren't many opportunities for such an assembly of the elite martial artists of the nation. Regardless of what their intentions were, whether it was to learn from some other masters, to share experiences, or to sell their products, this was a great opportunity for all.
Fade had intended to bring Jasmine back to treat her wounds as soon as possible, but she insisted that she was fine and was more interested in looking around the market instead.
Therefore, he stayed behind and began roaming around with her and Tom.
As for Tom's so-called "friends", after witnessing Fade winning the fight, they left dejectedly and didn't bother to stay for another second more.
The three of them walked along the banks of the Swallow Lake. Their main purpose was to shop around the stalls set up by other martial artists and see if they could come across any bargain.
Due to the fact that Fade had won the match, more people in the crowd were familiar with him, and people started discussing him.
Some people even compared Fade to Moore, who had suddenly risen to fame more than 20 years ago. They said that Fade and Moore were both lucky to make their names out there by winning the championship.
Thinking of this, Fade was reminded of Joey. If the message he had received was true, Joey was most likely Moore's daughter.
Thinking of this, a strange emotion emerged in Fade's heart.
He was deep in thoughts when a crowd started gathering around a stall right in front of him. The lively ambience pulled his attention back.
Striding towards that direction, he got to listen clearer to the noises around.
"To actually trade a herb of the Heaven Level, this is one hell of a bargain!"
"Heaven Level herbs are too precious. Is it genuine? You're not trying to deceive us, are you?"
"Several masters have all checked it out but they couldn't find any fake traces. It should be genuine."
"If I can get my hands on the herbs, I'll be filthy rich."
