Chapter 982: Nine hundred eighty, reward

An elder in a green robe walked up to the three participants, nodded and smiled, then turned to address the crowd beneath the stage. "I am honored to preside over this awards ceremony. The selection tournament has concluded after three days of fierce competition. Let us first give a round of applause to all the contestants who participated in this event."

"Clap, clap, clap!" A surge of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted.

After the applause subsided, the green-robed elder continued, "This tournament showcased many outstanding young talents. Even though some could not stand on this stage, the brilliance they displayed and their extraordinary capabilities have left us with unforgettable memories. Especially the three individuals here on stage—they have emerged victorious among all the participants, a testament to their tremendous strength. Let us congratulate them on achieving the top three rankings in this tournament."

"Clap, clap, clap!" Thunderous applause echoed from below the stage, countless envious gazes fixating on Luo Shu and her companions, many wishing they could trade places with them.

Once the applause quieted, the green-robed elder continued, "Next, I will present the rewards to the three individuals on stage."

As he spoke, the elder pulled out a Token and proceeded to Feng Jianyou, who had achieved third place. "Congratulations! This is the Pass Jade Token granting you an entry slot to the Earth Realm. Simply hand this token to the person you choose, and they will gain the eligibility to enter the Earth Realm."

"Thank you, Senior!" Feng Jianyou extended his hand, received the token, and expressed his gratitude.

The green-robed elder smiled and proceeded to Lu Hanmo, taking out two Tokens and handing them to him. "Congratulations! You have earned the Pass Jade Token for entry to the Earth Realm—two tokens, to be exact. Please keep them safe."

"Thank you, Senior!" Lu Hanmo accepted the tokens and expressed his thanks.

Smiling, the elder moved to Luo Shu’s side. "You have performed exceedingly well in this tournament. Here is your reward—congratulations!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Luo Shu extended her hand and received five Tokens.

The elder chuckled warmly, turned back to the audience below, and declared, "In addition to the rewards earned by the three contestants, their sects will also receive corresponding rewards. Now, let me announce the sect rewards!"

"The sect Great Mahayana Island, home to our third-place contestant Feng Jianyou, will receive one Immortal Spirit Vein, two Unmatched Fruits, and ten thousand Top-quality Immortal Crystals. Let us applaud Great Mahayana Island."

"Clap, clap, clap!" Applause erupted once again.

Once the applause subsided, the elder continued, "Since both our first and second-place contestants are disciples of the Liangyi Sect, we have decided, through deliberation, to combine their rewards into a single package. The rewards are as follows: six Immortal Spirit Veins, ten Unmatched Fruits, sixty thousand Top-quality Immortal Crystals, and in addition, the Liangyi Sect will ascend to the rank of a Fifth-rank Sect."

The audience below was already stunned by the lavish rewards!

Many cultivators join sects primarily for cultivation resources. Naturally, the resources available in small sects simply cannot compare with those of major sects, which is why cultivators eagerly flock to the larger sects.

Xun Haotian, Ouyang Hai, and a group of elders and disciples were ecstatic. They had never expected such an abundant set of rewards. Achieving the status of a Five-star Sect was already a tremendous surprise to them, and receiving such immense cultivation resources was beyond their wildest dreams.

As Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stepped down from the stage, excited attendees quickly surrounded them.

"Luo Shu, Lu Hanmo, thank you for bringing so much to the sect—thank you!" Xun Haotian expressed his sincere gratitude. Without the two of them, the sect would not have been capable of earning such rewards. Because of this, he had already decided to allocate two-sixths of the resources to them.

"Sect Master, there’s no need to be so formal. We are disciples of the Liangyi Sect; this is simply what we should do," Lu Hanmo replied.

Xun Haotian nodded with a smile. "You should head back to the inn and rest. Once I finish collecting the resources, I’ll join you there."

Luo Shu took out her five Tokens and handed them to several disciples standing nearby. These disciples possessed adequate strength, and allocating the Tokens to them had already been a decision made collectively by Xun Haotian, Ouyang Hai, and the elders. Luo Shu personally distributing the Tokens served as a gesture for others to witness.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Luo!"

"Thank you, Junior Sister Luo! I will train even harder from now on."

"Me too! I promise not to disappoint you." The disciples gratefully accepted the Tokens, filled with immense gratitude toward Luo Shu. Without her, they wouldn’t have gained access to the Earth Realm. For some of them, even ten years later, they might not have had such an opportunity—progress in their own strength would be matched by progress in others’.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo approached Yun Han and Xiao Yao. Lu Hanmo took out two Tokens and handed them over to them.

"Are these Tokens granting entry to the Earth Realm?" Yun Han excitedly accepted one of them and carefully examined it.

"Yes," Lu Hanmo confirmed with a nod.

"Thank you!" Yun Han expressed his gratitude. Such an opportunity was impossible to refuse. Accepting the Token meant owing a favor to Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo—something he planned to repay in the future.

"I won’t hold back," Xiao Yao said cheerfully as he accepted the Token. He resolved that, should they need help in the future, he wouldn’t hesitate to assist them, even at great risk.

"It’s been a while since we’ve gathered together. Let’s head to the inn, have some food, and chat," Luo Shu suggested with a smile, delighted at the prospect of traveling together to the Earth Realm. Traveling as a group meant mutual support along the way.

Arriving at the inn, they saw that the hall was packed with people.

As Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo entered, all eyes inside the inn turned to them. By now, there were few in Green Cloud City who didn’t recognize them.

Seeing an empty table in the corner, Luo Shu’s group walked over and sat down.

A waiter noticed their arrival and approached them enthusiastically. "Esteemed guests, this way, please!" Although he hadn’t watched the tournament himself, the Image Crystal Balls from the event were now widespread, nearly one for every household. It was nearly impossible not to recognize Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.

"It’s so frustrating! I can’t believe our Top Ten Sects lost to them."

"If you’re so frustrated, then go teach them a lesson. Don’t sit here complaining."

"Do you think I don’t want to? But I need the strength to match them first. Their performance on stage was so overwhelming that if I went to teach them a lesson, I’d probably end up being the one taught."

The others at his table burst out laughing. "You do have some self-awareness, haha..."

"That’s them, right? I heard they’re husband and wife."

"The Liangyi Sect really lucked out this time, recruiting two such exceptional disciples."

"That’s right. They earned seven Earth Realm slots this time—who knows if they’ve distributed them all yet? If only they’d give me one."

"Don’t even dream about it. Even the Liangyi Sect doesn’t have enough slots for themselves." Discussions among the crowd were lively, with nearly every conversation centered on Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.
