Douluo Dalu: The Unrivaled Panlong Zhentian

Chapter 112 Reward——Champion Earl!!
"Good, good, good!" Xu Wanke's voice echoed in the magnificent hall, as if even the air was filled with an indescribable admiration and relief.

His eyes were like torches, staring closely at the elegant figure below, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "He is indeed the most dazzling star in the history of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the youngest Soul King, the youngest sixth-level Soul Instructor. At such an age, he can maintain a pure heart without being arrogant or impatient, neither humble nor overbearing. It is really rare!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up!" Xu Wanke's words were gentle and encouraging. He waved his hand gently, signaling Jing Hongchen and Qiangu Tianzong to stand up. Upon hearing this, the two of them bowed respectfully, then stood up slowly, with a look of humility and confidence.

"My dear minister!" Xu Wanke's eyes fell on Qiangu Tianzong in particular, and his tone was full of admiration. "The glory and honor you have won for our Sun Moon Empire is truly a blessing for the empire. My dear minister, please tell me what you want, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Tianzong showed a touch of gratitude on his face, and then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy can achieve what it has today because of your Majesty's wise leadership and full support. If it weren't for your Majesty's foresight, how could we have walked so firmly and long-term on the path of soul masters and soul instructors?"

"Hahaha!" Xu Wanke laughed loudly upon hearing this, his face greatly pleased. "My dear minister, you are too modest. Although I have only a small contribution, I rely more on your hard work and unremitting efforts. It should be your credit, and I will not embezzle it."

The atmosphere suddenly became unusually harmonious. Qiangu Tianzong took the opportunity to change the subject, his expression becoming more solemn and expectant: "However, Your Majesty, I do have a wish in my heart, which concerns the future prosperity of the empire. I hope Your Majesty can grant it."

"Oh?" Xu Wanke became more interested after hearing this. He knew very well that what Qiangu Tianzong mentioned was no small matter. "My dear, please feel free to speak up. As long as it is within my ability, I will fully support it."

Qiangu Tianzong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have been studying the art of soul guides since I was young, and I know its importance in improving the military strength of the empire. In recent years, although the academy has made breakthroughs in the research and development of soul guides, the technical bottlenecks are becoming increasingly prominent. Especially with the gathering of talents from all walks of life in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy and Mingde Hall, the metal materials needed for soul guides are becoming increasingly stretched."

He paused, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve: "I, your humble servant, would like to ask Your Majesty to allocate special funds to support the academy's further exploration in the research and development of new materials, high-efficiency energy, and strategic-level soul guides. Only in this way can we forge a more solid shield and sharp sword for our Sun-Moon Empire and protect the peace and prosperity of this land."

Hearing this, Xu Wanke's eyes were as deep as the abyss. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, his voice full of determination and strength: "Your ambition is indeed a blessing for the empire, and it is also what I want. The development of soul guides is related to the future prosperity and decline of the empire. How can I not pay attention to it? I agree! Not only that, I will also personally supervise this matter to ensure that resources are in place and talents are safe. However, these are all your hard work and efforts for the future of the empire, and they cannot be regarded as any reward from me."

After saying that, he changed the subject, his eyes showing a hint of amusement and curiosity: "My dear, I heard that you are also outstanding in your talent as a soul master and soul mentor, which makes me very happy. I want to see your style, my dear, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Qiangu Tianzong had some ideas in mind, but he still maintained a calm look on his face. He smiled and said, "To unify the continent for the Sun Moon Empire and resolve wars and conflicts is the common dream of our soul masters and soul mentors. Your Majesty is interested in this, and I will do my best to show what I have learned."

He says one thing to one person and another thing to another. Anyway, he just says nice things to say, and nice words don't cost money.

"Then let me show you my ugliness, Your Majesty!" Qiangu Tianzong bowed to Xu Wanke and then slowly straightened his body.

Xu Wanke was naturally not afraid of Qiangu Tianzong's sneak attack. As the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, not to mention that he was protected by powerful people, he himself was also protected by a ninth-level soul guide. This kind of background was not something that Qiangu Tianzong could compare to now.

Qiangu Tianzong raised his hand, and the Panlong Stick appeared in his hand first.

Even though Qiangu Tianzong does have a stable character, under such circumstances, he would not hide his talent too much. At this moment, he was fighting for his own benefit.

Following the appearance of the Panlong Stick were six soul rings: one yellow, two purple, two black, and one red.

“A hundred thousand year spirit ring!!” The Sun-Moon Empire’s Emperor Xu Wanke rested his aged hands on the armchair, his eyes wide open, staring intently at Qiangu Tianzong’s sixth hundred thousand year spirit ring, and his butt sitting on the throne also moved a little distance away from the chair.

"Crack, crack, crack~" A slight sound was heard. It was Xu Wanke's arm holding the armrest of the chair. It was unknown how much strength he used.

Jing Hongchen couldn't hide the shock in his eyes as he watched the scene in front of him, but he became more calm and composed.

"After they came back, they heard Xiao Hongchen say that they had encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in the Xingluo Empire, and it was captured by the little fellow Tianzong."

"Now it seems that what they said is true! And it seems that the embryo of the hundred thousand year soul beast has been absorbed by Tianzong."

"It's good this way. In the eyes of some people, it's impossible to hide the fact that Tian Zong obtained the embryo of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. If he absorbs it, he won't be remembered by those people."

"However, I remember that it has been less than a year since Tianzong, this little guy, got his fifth soul ring!" Jing Hongchen was daydreaming.

"Wait, Mengmeng said that Tianzong has a second martial soul, and the first soul ring of the second martial soul is also a hundred thousand years old... In this case, with a hundred thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul bone, it is not a particularly strange thing to be promoted to Soul Emperor in one year." She is worthy of being the granddaughter, even her nickname is different.

In fact, there is another point, which is something that every soul beast in the Sun-Moon Empire is accustomed to, and that is the speed of soul power cultivation. Almost everyone in the Sun-Moon Empire is using elixirs, so the progress of soul power is naturally fast enough.

Although Qiangu Tianzong's cultivation speed was somewhat abnormally fast, in the eyes of the people of the Sun and Moon Empire who relied on elixirs for their cultivation, he was just an outstanding genius.

"Good good!"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay! Okay!"

"I didn't expect such a genius to appear in my Sun Moon Empire!"

"Hahahahahaha, my beloved minister is with me, so I have no reason to worry about not being able to accomplish my great cause in one fell swoop!" Xu Wanke saw Qiangu Tianzong's talent, his strength, and his excellence from the image.

As an experienced man, he has his own unique ways of dealing with talents like Qiangu Tianzong.

But it is also true that he was able to seize the throne from the previous emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, which has already proved his excellence.

The process is not important, what’s important is the result!
"Your Majesty, I have a second martial soul. It is a healing martial soul. Your Majesty, please take a look."

"Well, okay, okay, then I have to see it carefully."

Qiangu Tianzong naturally released his second martial soul. The moment the Jianmu martial soul came out, a fluorescent green light illuminated the room and the energy of life spread.

With the nourishment of life energy, Xu Wanke and Jing Hongchen, who were both exposed to such pure life energy for the first time, felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

It is hard to describe what Jing Hongchen feels like, but it is very obvious here for Emperor Xu Wanke of the Sun-Moon Empire. His originally tired face has become more energetic, his body is more upright, and he looks more powerful.

Such a huge change happened in just a short moment, and even more surprises are still to come.

As for being exposed? Haha, it had already been exposed. Qiangu Tianzong thought that the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and Jing Hongchen who were present might have known about it a long time ago.

"Another hundred thousand year spirit ring!!!" After seeing Qiangu Tianzong's yet another hundred thousand year spirit ring, even though Xu Wanke was the supreme emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, he couldn't help but feel absolutely shocked.

"It seems that the recent rumors are true." "This boy is really so terrifying!!"

"This boy is from my Sun Moon Empire. We can treat him with courtesy. It will definitely be of great benefit to my Sun Moon Empire. Maybe in the future, he will be the opportunity for my Sun Moon Empire to unify the continent."

"We should be friendly with people, not hate them." In an instant, Xu Wanke's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.

As the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Wanke had seen countless people and was well-informed, but at this moment he had to admit that Qiangu Tianzong was one of the most outstanding geniuses he had ever seen. He knew very well what such a talent meant to the future of the empire, so his heart was filled with joy and expectation.

"Your Majesty, my second martial soul is named Jianmu, and it is a healing martial soul. Its ability can not only heal injuries, but also nourish life. For the soldiers of the empire, it will be a rare help." Qiangu Tianzong introduced his second martial soul humbly and confidently, and his words revealed his deep concern for the future of the empire.

Xu Wanke's eyes flashed when he heard this. He had experienced it before, and he knew very well how precious and important the healing spirit was. In war, such a spirit could greatly reduce casualties and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The Jianmu spirit of the Eternal Heaven was blessed with a 100,000-year spirit ring, and its effect could be imagined.

Moreover, according to Qiangu Tianzong, his martial spirit has a strong healing effect, which may also prolong his life. Maybe he can once again launch a war to unify the continent! !
"My dear Tianzong, you are indeed the treasure of my Sun and Moon Empire! With a genius like you, I will be able to realize my great cause!" Xu Wanke stood up excitedly, clenching his fists, as if he had already seen the empire moving towards a glorious future with the assistance of Qiangu Tianzong.

Jing Hongchen also looked at Qiangu Tianzong with a look of satisfaction. He knew that his student was not only gifted, but also had a sincere heart to serve the empire. He believed that in the near future, Qiangu Tianzong would become the most solid pillar of the empire.

"Mirror of the Red Dust, the Eternal Heavenly Talent obeys your orders!" After the Eternal Heavenly Talent had finished displaying,

"Jing Hongchen has taught well and cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for the empire. In particular, he led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to win the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. He has made great contributions!"

"Promote him to Duke, and grant him the title of Duke of the Red Dust!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jing Hongchen bowed and half-knelt in thanks.

"Qianggu Tianzong is a man of great intelligence and talent. He is truly a treasure of the empire and a pillar of the future!" Xu Wanke's voice was full of admiration and expectations for Qiangu Tianzong.

He continued, "Today, I specially grant you the title of 'Chief Disciple of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy' and order you to be a special training target of the empire, enjoying the highest level of resources and support from the empire. I hope you will continue to work hard and make progress, and contribute your wisdom and strength to the prosperity of the empire!"

"At the same time, he will be granted the title of Duke, Marquis, Earl, etc." After becoming a duke, marquis, earl, etc., one will obtain corresponding land of his own.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Qiangu Tianzong bowed again, his voice full of gratitude for the grace of Emperor Xu Wanke and a firm commitment to the future.

The title of "Chief Disciple of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy" is not only a recognition of his personal ability, but also an expectation of his future responsibilities. Of course, compared with this nominal honor, Qiangu Tianzong cares more about the specific benefits that this title can bring him.

As Emperor Xu Wanke's decree fell, the entire hall was filled with an indescribable solemnity and joy. Jing Hongchen looked at Qiangu Tianzong with his eyes full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that he had not only trained an outstanding student, but also discovered a rare pillar of the empire.

"Uncle Guanjun, you not only possess an amazing talent for cultivation, but also possess the rare ability of two hundred thousand year spirit rings, which is rare in the history of our Sun Moon Empire and even the entire continent." Xu Wanke continued, "I hope you can continue to maintain this diligence and humility, constantly improve yourself, expand the territory for the empire, and enhance our national prestige."

"I will live up to your majesty's high expectations, swear allegiance to the empire until death, help your majesty solve problems, fight for the glory of the empire, and be loyal to your majesty's great cause!" Qiangu Tianzong saluted with neither arrogance nor servility, and answered in a resounding voice.

Jing Hongchen was also filled with joy and gratitude after receiving the promotion and reward. He knew that all this glory did not belong to him alone, but was also a recognition of the efforts of all the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"I really didn't misjudge him!" Jing Hongchen glanced at Qiangu Tianzong and thought to himself.

"Champion Uncle!"

"Chen is here!"

"I plan to establish another soul mentor team. Do you have this idea?"

"Your Majesty has given me a gift, and I dare not disobey you!"

When Qiangu Tianzong heard this, a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that this was because Xu Wanke had begun to trust and respect him, and that the major empires had different ways of treating talents.

Qiangu Tianzong decided to make another effort.

Because even he had never expected that the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire would be so courageous that he would offer the military power of the Sun-Moon Empire to win him over.

You know, in this world where the strong are respected, having a team of soul guides of his own will undoubtedly greatly enhance his influence and overall strength.

Perhaps this is partly due to the second martial soul of Qiangu Tianzong.

Perhaps for Xu Wanke, the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, doing his best to win over such a healing soul master can help him live longer.

Once they sit on the throne, there is no emperor who does not covet imperial power.

"I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust and build an elite team of soul guides to expand the territory and protect the empire." Qiangu Tianzong's voice was firm and powerful, and every word seemed to contain an unshakable determination.

But only he knows that he is a veteran actor!

Hearing this, Xu Wanke showed a satisfied smile on his face. He stood up, slowly walked to Qiangu Tianzong, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Good! I knew you didn't let me down. Remember, this soul guide group is not only your glory, but also the hope of the empire's future. You must carefully select talents and train them strictly to make them the sharpest sword and the strongest shield of the empire."

Suddenly, Xu Wanke changed the subject and said, "But... My dear, you must be very familiar with the soul mentor corps of my Sun Moon Empire. My Sun Moon Empire currently has five soul mentor corps."

"Although I want to give you a quota for the King-level Soul Master Team, I also have to consider the feelings of the other Soul Master Teams."

"So, my dear, what level of soul guide quota you can get at that time will depend on your own strength."

"Although I can make the decision with just one word, the people below will inevitably be dissatisfied." Although Xu Wanke said this, his main purpose was to witness Qiangu Tianzong's strength with his own eyes.
