Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=============================
Just as everyone was feeling emotional, the rewards continued to be distributed, and soon, Ling Luochen's name appeared.
Although Ling Luochen was already a Spirit King when she first enrolled, she had joined three months late, so she ultimately had less time to study.
Soon, the light screen began to change again, displaying Ling Luochen's rewards.
[Ling Luochen: Received rewards: 120 Golden Pearls, 10 Life Fruits, 1 Level-10 defensive Spirit Tool, 1 Level-10 offensive Spirit Tool, 1 black-rank mecha, 1 Heart of the Ice God (from Douluo Dalu III, can assist in the Cultivate of Mental Force and increase Cultivate speed), overall increase of 10,000 years to the age of all Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones.]
These rewards were quite generous for Ling Luochen, especially with items like the Life Fruits, which provided a significant boost to vitality.
Not everyone was like Tang Wulin, having reached a level where they no longer needed Life Fruits; their life energy was quite lacking.
Ling Luochen stood up and bowed slightly in the direction of Lin Feng.
"Thank you, Dean."
Lin Feng waved his hand, and the rewards turned into streaks of light that merged into Ling Luochen's Storage Soul Tool. Then, a beam of light fell upon Ling Luochen, and she could feel the bonuses brought by her Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones increasing.
At this moment, in the Counterfeit Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao was sitting under the Golden Ancient Tree, watching this scene through the light screen.
Looking at the rewards Ling Luochen had received, she couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.
Ling Luochen was originally one of their Shrek Seven Devils and her teammate. Although they didn't get along, they were both members of Shrek Academy, and at that time, she was the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, with strength far surpassing Ling Luochen.
Whether it was Spirit Power Rank or combat experience, she had always been a cut above her.
But how much time had passed since then?
Ling Luochen's current strength was already above hers, and it was a gap she could no longer bridge.
Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but clench her fists. Her own Evil Fire still flared up from time to time, and each flare-up made her feel extremely uncomfortable, causing her to lose her sanity and feel the pain of being burned by flames.
If Elder Xuan and the others had sent her to that Shrek Academy back then... would her fate have been different?
Would she not have had to suffer the backlash of the Evil Fire?
After all, that academy had so many good things; it definitely could have cured her Evil Fire, and perhaps even allowed her to become like her ancestor, Ma Hongjun.
Thinking of this, the feeling of unwillingness in Ma Xiaotao's heart surged even more violently.
Why was her luck so bad?
The rewards on the competition stage continued, and after a while, the next name quickly appeared on the light screen.
Wang Dong'er.
When Xiao Wu saw this name appear, she couldn't help but sit up a little straighter. Her eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the light screen, wanting to see clearly what rewards Wang Dong'er had obtained.
[Wang Dong'er: Received rewards: 120 Golden Pearls, 20 Life Fruits, 1 Level-10 defensive Spirit Tool, 1 Level-10 offensive Spirit Tool, 1 Red-rank mecha, overall increase of 20,000 years to the age of all Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones, 1 Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood.]
Wang Dong'er also thanked Lin Feng quite excitedly and then accepted her rewards. She felt she had done her best, and she also had a Red-rank mecha. Back then, she had thought about piloting the mecha to show off in front of her Big Dad and Second Dad, but she had been too busy and forgotten.
Now, she had another Red-rank mecha, taking a huge step forward all at once!
In the Divine Realm, when Tang San saw the Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood? That thing was something that only existed in the Divine Realm!
And it was cultivated by the Treasure Hunting Beast.
When exactly did that guy Lin Feng steal it from the Divine Realm?
Tang San knew very well that the Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood could only exert its true effect in the Divine Realm. If it were in the Lower Realm, without the nourishment of immortal spiritual energy, every use would reduce a portion of its Origin power, making it a genuine consumable.
But even as a consumable, such an item was extremely precious.
Back in the Divine Realm, Tang San hadn't even let Wang Dong'er use the Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood to Cultivate. After all, this item was mainly used to prevent the Divine Sense of the gods in the Divine Realm from being too strong and interfering with the stability of the Divine Realm.
How could people in the Lower Realm possibly have the qualifications to possess such an item for Cultivate?
A complex emotion couldn't help but surge in Tang San's heart.
However, he quickly realized that since it had already been given, that was a good thing. With the assistance of the Golden Radiant Parasol Tree Wood, Wang Dong'er's strength improvement speed would surely be much faster.
For Wang Dong'er, this was a good thing, and as her father, he should be happy about it. Right, when Wang Dong'er Ascends to the Divine Realm again, he would give her some more to prove that he, this old father, was still quite generous.
The rewards continued to be distributed, and soon it reached the top five.
The fifth place name appeared on the light screen: Wu Siduo.
[Wu Siduo: Received rewards: 120 Golden Pearls, 100 Life Fruits, 1 Level-12 defensive Spirit Tool, 1 Level-12 offensive Spirit Tool, 1 Red-rank mecha, Spirit evolved into Four-Pole Cangming White Tiger, overall increase of 50,000 years to the age of all Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones.]
Lin Feng began to distribute the rewards, and all the material rewards fell into Wu Siduo's Storage Soul Tool. Then, a beam of light fell upon Wu Siduo, and one could see her Aura rising sharply; she looked much more formidable.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, when Dai Mubai saw Wu Siduo's name and rewards, he was also extremely excited.
"Hahahaha!"
"This little one is a descendant of me, Dai Mubai!"
He pointed at the figure of the young girl on the light screen, his face full of excitement.
"She took fifth place, which is a pretty good performance; she didn't lose face for my Dai Family!"
Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder, then looked at Tang San and continued.
"But I don't know why she has the surname Wu..."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Once she reaches the Divine Realm, she will be a member of our Dai Family!"
"You all remember this; you must help her out when the time comes."
As Dai Mubai spoke, he turned his head to look at Tang San, his tiger eyes filled with a trace of a smile.
"Little San, you can play the good cop when the time comes, and I'll play the bad cop."
"Anyway, my descendant should definitely have my surname; you must help me speak up."
After hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but smile, then nodded gently.
"Okay."
He agreed very readily. After all, Dai Mubai was his brother of many years, so he naturally had to help with this small matter, and he must help. The more people standing on the side of their Shrek Seven Devils, the better; they absolutely could not let the God of Destruction pull them over to his side.
Tang San had already started thinking about the distribution of these personnel and which people to use for recruitment. For example, Ning Tian and Wu Feng could be recruited using Ning Rongrong, and he could even directly change Ning Tian's gender to fulfill her wishes, along with some other guys with potential...
