Chapter 41: Am I More Like Leng Ruoyao’s Father?
If he could win the position of Zhao family’s Divine Son, he would be able to freely allocate family resources, and in this way, he could quietly give resources to the Daughter of Heaven.
With the profound foundation of the Holy Zhao family, it is estimated that they can satisfy the Daughter of Heaven’s demand for heavenly materials and earthly treasures for a long time to come.
If the Daughter of Heaven is strong enough, he can also receive rewards while sitting at home.
However, when it comes to the position of Divine Son, he remembered Zhao Qingyan from the family, whom the Old Ancestor praised as invincible for a lifetime.
If he remembered correctly, she was also one of the Daughters of Heaven.
Given their relationship, if she obtained the position of Divine Son, would he still have a way to survive?
Zhao Yan dared not think further and could only shake his head helplessly.
Forget it, the future will take care of itself.
For now, no matter what, Leng Ruoyao must try her best to get the Personal First.
Zhao Yan rubbed his eyebrows in distress. He felt that he worried about Leng Ruoyao even more than her own father, which made him unable to laugh or cry.
Speaking of which, Leng Fu’s stepping forward to help him relieve the crisis must have had some ulterior motive, as they had never met before, so why would he go out of his way?
“Third place in the academy reward: one million spirit stones sponsorship, two spirit-grade cultivation techniques.”
As Zhao Yan was thinking, Leng Ruoyao’s voice sounded again, and she began to introduce the rewards for the top three in the team competition.
“Second place in the academy reward: one million three hundred thousand spirit stones sponsorship, one third-rank Spirit Gathering Formation.”
“First place in the academy reward: one million nine hundred thousand spirit stones sponsorship, plus this year’s Qingyang Secret Realm spot…”
When mentioning the first place reward for the academy, Leng Ruoyao seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her gaze turned to Leng Ruoyao again.
She pondered for a moment and then said, “Plus the Blazing Flame Azure Lotus.”
“Blazing Flame Azure Lotus?! The Prefecture Lord is even offering such a treasure. It seems they’ve invested heavily this time.”
“Yes, you know, the Blazing Flame Azure Lotus is a supreme treasure that fire-attribute Spirit Martial Artists dream of. It not only greatly enhances the cultivation of fire-attribute Spirit Martial Artists but is also an excellent healing spirit plant.”
“What’s even more incredible is the Qingyang Secret Realm! In previous years, we had to compete with various sects and other civilian forces, but this year the Prefecture Lord directly made it a reward!”
“But this is good too. I’ve long disliked those sects. They contribute nothing to Qingyang Prefecture, yet they come to compete for benefits every year. Our new Prefecture Lord is truly formidable!”
“It seems that Prefecture Lord Lu is determined to deal with those sects this time.”
Everyone present was deeply shocked by the incredibly generous joint examination rewards, even those from distinguished clans.
Whether it was the rewards for the top three individuals or the top three academies, they couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
While everyone was speechless with shock, Zhao Yan’s gaze remained fixed on Leng Ruoyao.
When Leng Ruoyao heard the words “Blazing Flame Azure Lotus,” her soft delicate body trembled slightly.
Although the tremor was very small, it did not escape Zhao Yan’s sharp eyes.
Moreover, he noticed that Leng Ruoyao had clenched her fists tightly, indicating that her heart was far from calm on the surface.
“Pai Daxing, come out for a bit,” Zhao Yan called out in his heart again.
“Doesn’t Leng Ruoyao cultivate ice-attribute cultivation techniques? She didn’t react like this when Leng Ruoyao mentioned the Ice Soul Spirit Pill earlier.”
Zhao Yan asked doubtfully, “Help me check Leng Ruoyao’s current state and why she is so interested in the Blazing Flame Spirit Lotus.”
“I can check, but it requires energy consumption. Host brother, do you have any raffle tickets?”
Pai Daxing’s voice came, “Checking Leng Ruoyao’s state and the use of the Blazing Flame Spirit Lotus requires four beginner lottery tickets. Do you have any, brother?”
“Pai Daxing! You?”
Zhao Yan’s expression became somewhat strange.
“Host brother, don’t rush. I’ll give it to you for free this time.”
Pai Daxing changed the subject and quickly said, “Brother, you need to cheer up and eliminate crises for the Son of Heaven more often. This way, the world’s will will become stronger, and there will be more rewards in the future.”
“Ding, system is querying.”
“Got it.”
“Because Leng Ruoyao’s cultivation technique is too overbearing, after she reaches a certain stage, she needs to continuously use spirit items of fire attribute, ice-fire dual attribute, and ice attribute to harmonize the extreme cold state within her body.”
“Moreover, the higher her cultivation realm, the higher the quality and grade of spirit items required. Leng Ruoyao’s physical condition is already not optimistic.”
So that’s how it is… Zhao Yan understood in his heart.
As the protagonist, the difficulty of improving his cultivation realm is naturally different from ordinary people.
Currently, the rewards that have appeared are only spirit items of fire and ice attributes. According to his understanding of the protagonist’s growth tropes from his past life.
Spirit items of ice-fire dual attributes should also appear in this joint examination.
But Leng Ruoyao’s physical condition, is she still injured now…
“You should all be aware of the rules for this competition.”
Leng Ruoyao continued, “Next, each person will be issued a point bracelet. After hunting ferocious beasts, take out the spirit core and touch the bracelet to accumulate points.”
“However, please note that the point bracelet can only absorb the spirit core of a ferocious beast that you personally killed.”
“The time for the point bracelet to absorb spirit cores is from now until the end, a total of eight hours. You must seize this opportunity well.”
“Spirit tool usage level cannot exceed mid-grade mysterious tier, and only healing pills can be used.”
“Also, remember to only hunt in the outer areas. If you go too deep, the bracelet will emit a red light, and those ferocious beasts in the deep areas are definitely not something you can deal with.”
“If you feel that the time is almost up, you can activate the engraved runes on the other side of the bracelet with spiritual energy and follow the guidance back to the starting point.”
“This time, students from each academy can form teams of two. In five minutes, you will enter this random teleportation array.”
As Leng Ruoyao’s thought moved.
Boom!
With the slight tremor of the earth, a great formation emitting dazzling white light appeared on the ground.
“She can construct such a great formation with a single thought. Has Leng Ruoyao been taking pills for these nine years?”
Seeing this magnificent great formation, Zhao Yan couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.
Is this not the Son of Heaven?
Of course, it wasn’t just Zhao Yan. The members of various families present, as well as some people with ulterior motives, couldn’t help but narrow their pupils at this sight.
“Finally, I hope everyone will gain something from this joint examination.”
After Leng Ruoyao finished speaking, she gently stroked the head of the White Tiger beside her. The White Tiger comfortably narrowed its eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
Then, she led the White Tiger off the stage and retreated to the side.
“Alright, students, after receiving your point bracelets, you can start forming teams. Enter the teleportation array in five minutes.”
After Leng Ruoyao stepped down, Ma Yu shouted loudly.
“Point bracelet, quite advanced.”
After Zhao Yan received his bracelet, he looked at the exquisite bracelet on his wrist, which was like white jade, and a hint of novelty appeared in his eyes.
This bracelet was so magical that it could determine whether a spiritual beast was hunted by him, which made him have a new understanding of this world.
He felt that this world was more like a strange fusion of Xuanhuan and his previous life’s Blue Star world.
“Fayue, let’s go.”
Actually, at first, Zhao Yan wanted to invite Leng Ruoyao to team up. But as expected, Leng Ruoyao pulled Ming Aiyi beside her and directly refused him.
Under Ming Aiyi’s slightly apologetic gaze, Zhao Yan thought about it and chose Zhang Fayue.
If Leng Ruoyao encountered danger later, Zhang Fayue would be an extremely good combat force.
It would be a powerful aid to his action of protecting Leng Ruoyao this time, which was also one of the reasons he had subdued the Zhang family before.
Not long after, the students from various academies found their teammates. When the time came, they quickly rushed into the random teleportation array.
Zhao Yan and Zhang Fayue walked to the teleportation array and were about to enter when Leng Ruoyao and Ming Aiyi also followed behind them.
“You are that Zhao Yan? You’ve become quite famous recently.”
A young man in green clothes with a smiling face stared at Zhao Yan. His voice carried a hint of casualness and reached Zhao Yan and Zhang Fayue’s ears.
“An Qianfeng, Ding Chaoxing, what are you doing?”
Zhang Fayue’s eyebrows immediately furrowed when he saw these two youths, and he asked with a serious expression.
Zhao Yan, on the other hand, had a calm expression. An Qianfeng’s name was well-known in Qingyang Prefecture. He was a heavenly pride that ranked in the top three in Qingyang Prefecture and was also the chief of Qingyang First Academy.
And the tall, thin young man next to him, Ding Chaoxing, was also not simple. He was second on the Spiritual Martial Ranking of Qingyang First Academy. It was said that like Zhang Fayue, he was also at the triple stage of Spirit Attachment.
These two had clashed with Zhang Fayue many times in previous competitions, big and small.
However, Zhao Yan was a little confused. What was the reason for these two coming to find him?
