[The Heaven Dou Palace Change had losers and winners.]
[There were two winners and two losers in the Heaven Dou Palace Change.]
[The first loser was, without a doubt, Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall.]
[Qian Renxue had been undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire for over twenty years, only one step away from the throne, but in the end, she lost. All her efforts and sacrifices were for naught, truly a complete waste!]
[The second loser was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, known for its immense wealth.]
[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School bet on Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Heaven Dou, hoping to gain credit for supporting the new emperor and thus ascend to a higher level. Little did they know that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was impersonated by a Spirit Hall member, and all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's efforts went down the drain, ultimately benefiting Tang San's Tang Sect.]
Upon hearing this, both Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi's faces showed discomfort.
Whether it was Qian Renxue or Ning Fengzhi, or rather, Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind them, all their efforts of over a decade were wasted due to the Heaven Dou Palace Change.
Spirit City, Hall of Offerings, Angel Sanctuary.
"Since undercover operations cannot take down the Heaven Dou Empire, then once I become a god, I will take down all Empires with absolute strength!!!"
As she stared intently at the light screen in the sky and thought to herself, a determined look and a serious expression slowly appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
...
The sky screen continued to change.
The voice continued to sound.
[Having discussed the losers, it's time to talk about the winners.]
[The first winner is, without question, Tang San and his Tang Sect.]
[Because he thwarted Spirit Hall's conspiracy, Tang San received generous rewards from Emperor Xue Ye. Not only did he receive the title of prince and become the teacher of the new Crown Prince Xue Beng, he also gained the opportunity to become a god!]
[The second winner was Xue Beng, who had been acting for many years.]
[His eldest, second, and third brothers were successively killed by Qian Renxue, and then Qian Renxue's disguise was exposed, forcing her to leave the Heaven Dou Empire. As a result, the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire could only fall into Xue Beng's hands.]
[With his teacher, Tang San, becoming a god, the stability of Emperor Xue Beng's throne is self-evident!]
At this point, Xue Beng on the talent ranking list was fully introduced.
Immediately after, the dazzling light screen in the sky revealed his ranking result.
[Xue Beng, ranking result: half reward, half punishment!]
[Reason for reward: Faked being a profligate, deceived all living beings, achieved the imperial throne, backed by a god-teacher! He is a talent!]
[Reason for punishment: Said to be a profligate, half true, half false.]
[Reward content: Spirit evolution!]
[Punishment content: spirit power level reduced by ten levels!]
"My son actually became the first to receive a reward on the talent ranking list!"
As Emperor Xue Ye stared intently at the dazzling light screen in the sky, looking at the clearly visible text within, he murmured excitedly, his eyes lighting up.
For the first time!
For the first time since childhood, this rebellious son, Xue Beng, had brought him honor!
Xue Beng was both the first to receive a reward on the talent ranking list and the fifth to receive a punishment.
Although the punishment Xue Beng received was severe, it seemed insignificant compared to the reward he received!
Ten levels of spirit power?
Xue Beng could cultivate it back in a few years!
And Spirit evolution would benefit not only Xue Beng himself, but the entire Heaven Dou imperial family would also benefit from it!
From now on, the Heaven Dou imperial family's inherited Spirit would no longer be a swan, but the Spirit after Xue Beng's evolution!
...
Boom!
The moment the ranking result was revealed, a deafening thunderclap sounded.
As the thunder sounded, a heavenly lightning bolt fell vertically from the nine heavens.
The heavenly lightning struck directly at Xue Beng, and Xue Beng could neither escape nor dodge it.
In just two or three breaths, Xue Beng made very intimate contact with the thick purple heavenly lightning, as thick as a tree that would take two arms to encircle.
Instantly, Xue Beng's spirit power level was weakened by a full ten levels.
Soon, a golden meteor emerged from the sky screen and then rushed towards Xue Beng, who had been directly struck dead by the heavenly lightning.
Xue Beng's Spirit was the Heaven Dou imperial family's inherited Spirit, the swan. No one knew what the swan Spirit would become after evolving.
Xue Beng was the first to receive both a reward and a punishment on the talent ranking list, and whether he would be the last was unknown.
As the golden meteor entered Xue Beng's body, Lu Chen also received a system reward.
[Congratulations, Host! Successfully revealed the talent ranking list once! You will receive the following rewards!]
[Reward One: Special Skill — Emperor Seal Art!]
[Reward Introduction: Emperor Seal Art is a very special skill. This skill is most suitable for a ruler or monarch of a country. If the nation's fortune is integrated into it, then this move will become a divine skill! The Emperor Seal Art has a total of five moves, each more powerful than the last!]
"Empire fortune-type skill?"
"Is the system asking me to establish a nation?"
After reading the introduction to the first reward, such a thought appeared in Lu Chen's mind, and a hint of resistance slowly emerged on his face.
To be the master of an Empire?
Lu Chen was not interested in this.
Immediately, the second reward came into Lu Chen's sight.
[Reward Two: Item Equipment — One god-bestowed spirit ring!]
[Reward Introduction: Through the god-bestowed spirit ring given by a god, the user can obtain the best and most suitable spirit ring for themselves!]
"Another god-bestowed spirit ring?"
"My spirit rings are already full."
After learning what the second reward was, Lu Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
After muttering, the two rewards were one by one placed into Lu Chen's possession.
...
Vast ocean, Sea God Island, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.
"I have to say, these rewards are truly difficult to obtain! So far, out of the six people on the list, only one has received a reward, and the reward received is not a pure reward, but a reward with punishment!"
When Sea Dragon Douluo said this, he really wanted to know if anyone could receive a pure reward, one without punishment.
If so, who would that person be?
...
After Sea Dragon Douluo's words fell, the dazzling light screen in the sky revealed the next person to be ranked.
Only a majestic voice resonated through the three Worlds.
[talent ranking list's Seventh, Purple Pearl Island, Jixiang!]
"Jixiang?"
"What kind of name is that?"
"I'm called Ruyi then."
Upon learning the name of the seventh talent on the talent ranking list, Ma Hongjun subconsciously spoke, making a playful remark about the name.
"If you're called Ruyi, then I'm Ruyi's dad," Dai Mubai then teased.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ma Hongjun's eyes immediately lit up.
Then, Ma Hongjun spoke, staring intently at Dai Mubai: "Then call me now."
Dai Mubai: "???"
"Hurry up and call me dad," Ma Hongjun smiled and reminded, seeing Dai Mubai's bewildered expression.
Instantly, Dai Mubai's face darkened.
