Upon reaching the podium, the patriarch of the Huanglong clan stood still. His eyes, weathered by time yet still piercing, swept across the entire audience, finally settling on the four-person team. Holding dragon balls, they appeared slightly weary, but their eyes shone with an indomitable and glorious light.
"Friends, today we have witnessed the wisdom and courage of the younger generation. They have not only demonstrated the beauty of strength, but also the wisdom of unity and cooperation." The elder of the Huanglong clan spoke in a loud voice, which echoed throughout the arena. Every word was full of praise and expectations for the younger generation.
Chen Ping presented exquisite trophies and medals from the side, each one meticulously crafted, symbolizing honor and achievement.
The Huanglong clan elder personally awarded these honors to the four-person team, first Ying Huo, then Lei Ze and Mo Xuan, and finally Ao Heng.
During the award ceremony, the elder clan chief personally spoke with each winner, his words of encouragement as warm as a spring breeze, igniting the passion in the hearts of the young people.
"You have proven that no matter how daunting the challenge, as long as we hold firm to our beliefs and unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. May this honor inspire you to go even further in the future and continue to add brilliance to our world."
The words of the Huanglong clan elder echoed in the air, winning enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience.
The four-person team stood on the awards stage, holding trophies and medals around their necks. Their smiles shone brightly in the sunlight. At this moment, they were the most dazzling stars at the Huanglong Festival.
The cheers of the audience and the proud gazes of their families converged into a warm current, surrounding them and making this victory even more meaningful.
After the awards ceremony, the atmosphere of the Huanglong Festival reached its climax, with music and laughter intertwined, turning the entire celebration into a sea of joy.
For the four-person team, this victory was not only a recognition of their individual abilities, but also a testament to their team spirit and friendship, and a precious chapter in their youthful memories.
......
Holding the trophy, Ying Huo looked at Chen Ping with a smile and pride on her face. She had succeeded! She had successfully protected the Golden Dragon Ball and won the highest honor in the Dragon Ball Tournament!
Chen Ping nodded to her with satisfaction, indicating that he had seen everything and was proud of her.
Then they left with Elder Huanglong, since if they didn't leave, the contestants wouldn't dare to leave the podium.
Filled with the joy of victory and the heavy trophy, Ying Huo walked through the crowd and returned to the embrace of her family. Zhao Qingyun, her father, Ying Yu, her sister Ying Xin, and her brother Ying Quan were already standing at the front, their eyes filled with anticipation and pride.
Zhao Qingyun opened her arms wide and hugged Ying Huo tightly, her eyes glistening with tears: "Xiao Huo, you did such a wonderful job! Mom is so proud of you!"
The father patted Ying Huo on the shoulder, his voice low but full of pride: "Daughter, you not only protected the Dragon Pearl, but also won glory for our family. Your wisdom and courage have given me hope for the future of our family."
Ying Xin, the older sister, excitedly circled around Ying Huo, waving her arms and legs: "I knew you could do it! Look, the golden dragon ball, and this trophy, you're simply our hero!"
The older brother, Ying Quan, was relatively calm. He smiled gently, handed his younger sister a clean handkerchief, and said with concern, "You've worked hard, Xiao Huo. You've not only proven your own strength, but also the power of unity. Here, wipe your sweat, let's celebrate properly."
Surrounded by the warmth of her family, Ying Huo felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment. Wiping the sweat from her brow, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. Without the strength of my family, I couldn't have done all this."
Especially my mother, father, and older siblings, your encouragement is my greatest motivation. I learned a lot from this competition—about teamwork, perseverance, and how to find hope in adversity.
Zhao Qingyun took Ying Huo's hand and asked gently, "Xiao Huo, now rest well and enjoy the fruits of victory. Come on, let's go home. Mom will cook you a big meal today!"
Ying Huo nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the large trophy in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. This trophy was no ordinary trophy, but a space item of the God-King level, containing the reward for the winner of the Golden Dragon Ball.
She didn't know what the items inside were until they were taken out, but given the wealth and power of the Huanglong Clan, they probably wouldn't be too bad.
With the support of her family, Ying Huo left the competition venue, and the whole family happily headed towards their temporary residence in Xincheng.
......
As night fell, the festive atmosphere of the Huanglong Festival reached its peak. The city was brightly lit, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating everyone's faces.
Ying Huo and his family returned home amidst laughter and joy, where they held a small family gathering to celebrate Ying Huo's outstanding performance in the Dragon Ball competition.
Zhao Qingyun personally cooked a sumptuous dinner, each dish embodying her deep love and pride for her daughter.
At the dinner table, Ying Yu raised her glass and said, "Xiao Huo, your achievements are not only your personal glory, but also the pride of our whole family. Your courage and wisdom have shown us the future brilliance of our family."
Family members echoed their sentiments, and amidst the clinking of glasses, warmth and joy filled the air.
Meanwhile, at Chen Ping's residence in Xincheng, Elder Huanglong and Chen Ping sat at an exquisitely carved wooden table with several pots of fragrant tea on it, leisurely enjoying tea and discussing philosophy.
The old clan chief Huanglong narrowed his eyes slightly and said with lingering reminiscence, "This Dragon Ball competition went very smoothly. The talent and hard work of the participants, especially the innovative thinking of the younger generation, impressed me deeply."
In particular, the wielders of the Golden Dragon Balls demonstrated a spirit of cooperation that broke with the tradition of individual combat, showcasing the power of teamwork and adding a new dimension to the Dragon Ball battle.
Chen Ping nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Elder Clan Chief. I've paid special attention to Ying Huo and the other three. They not only quickly adjust their strategies when facing crises, but they also know how to complement each other's strengths, which is rare among the younger generation."
Their performance could serve as a good example for future competitions, encouraging more athletes to consider the importance of teamwork.
The old clan chief smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes: "Chen Ping, have you also gotten some inspiration from this and are preparing some new rules for the next competition?"
Chen Ping laughed and remained noncommittal, only saying, "Perhaps, our common vision is to make every competition a stage for training and growth."
The two exchanged a smile and continued to immerse themselves in the aroma of tea and their plans for the future.
At this moment, throughout the entire night of the Huanglong Festival, whether winners or participants, everyone gained their own precious memories through celebration and reflection.
