Lin Feng raised his hand and waved it gently, and two beams of soft golden light descended from the sky, landing on Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin respectively.
Huo Yuhao only felt a warm force surge into his body; the Mental Force he had previously exhausted recovered to its Peak state within just a few breaths, and even the fatigue in his body was swept away.
It was the same for Tang Wulin; the life energy he had consumed by the Withering Technique was also completely replenished within the golden light, and the layer of seven-colored scales on his body became lustrous and full once again.
Lin Feng withdrew his hand, then led the two of them back to the position of the judges' stand. He stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue, and then he spoke slowly.
"This Five Extremes Grand Competition is now officially over."
"From the first match to the last, everyone gave their all and performed at their expected level. Regardless of the final results, at the very least, the strength and resilience displayed by each and every one of you are worth remembering."
"The path of cultivation has never been smooth sailing. Today's victory or defeat is merely a waypoint. The road you have to face in the future is still very long. To go higher and further, you must rely not on the victory of any single match, but on day-after-day accumulation and persistence."
"I hope you remember every exchange from today, remember the gap and the yearning you felt on the competition stage, and then continue to move forward."
After Lin Feng finished these words, the crowd could not help but feel moved. This Five Extremes Grand Competition had lasted for many days, and they had watched for many days as well.
It had to be said that the strength of this group of children was truly formidable, far stronger than when they were young. Just how far could these children go in the future?
The crowd could not help but feel some anticipation, but very quickly, everyone's gaze fell upon the light screen not far away, following Lin Feng's instructions.
The light screen had already tallied all the points of everyone and began to sort them in order from high to low.
First place, Tang Wulin.
Second place, Huo Yuhao.
Third place, Gu Yue.
Fourth place, Ye Xinglan.
Fifth place, Wu Siduo....The subsequent rankings were listed in order, and behind each person's name followed the points and wins they had accumulated during these rounds of competition.
Tang Wulin's name was ranked first, which could be said to be without suspense. Possessing the Dragon God Bloodline, Tang Wulin could almost be said to be invincible in these battles.
Except for being slightly inferior in terms of weapons, there were basically no shortcomings in other aspects, even in the Spirit Soul battles. Although Tang Wulin had not learned things from the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin's little snake—no, it should be said that the Jin Yu possessing the Dragon God Bloodline—was not something that a group of Spirit Souls could deal with.
In a corner of the audience, Da Ming and Tai Tan looked at the ranking on the light screen and could not help but sigh at the same time.Tai Tan spoke first, looking at Da Ming beside him.
"Even if Tang San personally intervened, I reckon Xiao Qi wouldn't be able to gain much advantage in this competition."
Da Ming nodded, then replied.
"With that Lin Feng here now, Tang San probably wouldn't dare to interfere arbitrarily. I don't know what kind of reward Xiao Qi will be able to get. I hope it's good. Last time she was able to get a set of ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones, this time it shouldn't be worse than last time, right?"
This time it was, after all, the Five Extremes Grand Competition, and people from the entire continent were watching this grand event. Of course, they did remember that Wang Dong'er's ranking last time seemed to be second place, but as for now...the two fell silent.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, Tang San looked at the name ranked first on the light screen, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
His own son had taken first place; he was quite satisfied with this result.
As for Wang Dong'er's ranking, Tang San only took a simple glance; as long as it wasn't embarrassing, that was fine.
Beside him, Xiao Wu frowned slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of heartache.
"Xiao Qi's ranking... it doesn't look very good. I don't know if she will be able to get a reward."
She was a mother after all, and she still cared more about what her daughter could obtain.
The other Divinities in the Divine Realm also cast their gazes toward that light screen, curiously waiting for the rewards that would be announced next.
After all, based on the strength this group of young people had just displayed on the competition stage, most of the conventional resources on the Douluo Continent probably no longer had any effect on them.
They actually wanted to see what Shrek Academy could actually pull out.
Tang San was also quite clear on this point. After all, he knew the distribution of resources across the entire Douluo Continent by heart, and the location of every Heaven And Earth Treasure was stored in his mind. These things might be priceless treasures to ordinary Spirit Masters, but for Tang Wulin and his group, they really weren't enough.
There was a rule in this Five Extremes Grand Competition, and it had already been stated before the competition: the faction with the lowest total points needed to hand over their faction's core Cultivation Technique to the person from the faction ranked first.
Lin Feng's gaze fell to the very bottom of the leaderboard, and then he spoke, reading out a name.
"Zhao Chen."
Zhao Chen was sitting in the War God Hall's spectator area, and when he heard his name called out, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. He subconsciously glanced at the War God Hall teacher beside him, then muttered in a low voice.
"Teacher... I really tried my best..."
"But the problem is that everyone is a monster; what can I do..."
The War God Hall teacher glared at him with annoyance but didn't say anything more.
Zhao Chen stood up from his seat hesitantly, then jogged all the way to Tang Wulin, took out the War God Hall Cultivation Technique scroll from his bosom, and handed it over.
"Here you go... the War God Hall's Cultivation Technique..." Tang Wulin took the scroll of the Cultivation Technique, nodded slightly at Zhao Chen, and then said. "Thank you."
Just as Tang Wulin said these two words, Xie Xie's voice suddenly rang out from the side.
"Boss! Are you going to share the War God Hall's Cultivation Technique with me after getting it?"
His voice carried a hint of excitement, and his eyes were sparkling. Liang Xiaoyu slapped Xie Xie on the back of the head from the side.
"Behave yourself, or I'll beat you."
Xie Xie immediately shrank his neck and obediently shut his mouth.
Tang San could not help but snort coldly upon seeing this scene. A mere Mortal wants to share his son's Cultivation Technique? It is simply delusional!
"Alright, next we will begin announcing the rewards for each competition participant. Every contestant is valuable, so everyone will have a reward."
As Lin Feng's words fell, the light screen began to change again.
[Zhao Chen: Received rewards, Golden Pearl x 50, black-rank mecha x 1, Son Of Heaven Fruit x 1, Level 9 defensive Spirit Tool x 1, overall age of Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone increased by 5000 years]
Most people looking at the light screen were a bit dumbfounded by this scene. They might not recognize things like Golden Pearls or Son Of Heaven Fruits, but they were very clear about the Level 9 Spirit Tool and the subsequent 5000-year increase in the overall age of Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones.
Is this the reward that last place should have?
Isn't this too extravagant?
