After sending off Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and the others yesterday, Yan returned to the academy and was worshiped by a group of junior students.
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the other four teammates also expressed their gratitude to Yan.
If Yan hadn't turned the tide in the match and defeated the Shrek Academy team, they would have lost the competition and disgraced Spirit Hall.
Facing Bibi Dong's praise, Yan humbly said:
"Your Holiness, you flatter me. Our final victory was the result of everyone's joint efforts and the teachers' dedicated guidance."
Bibi Dong smiled and nodded.
"Yesterday's incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to award you all. Now, I will do so."
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Ghost brought the brocade tray over to the group.
As the representative of the Spirit Hall Academy team, Xie Yue received the tray from Ghost's hands.
The three spirit bones on the tray, each a different color, emitted an alluring glow.
Although spirit bones were extremely precious and everyone desired them, all of them were well aware that these three were specially prepared by Her Holiness Bibi Dong for Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan. The other four team members could only look on.
Bibi Dong continued.
"You may divide these three spirit bones among yourselves."
Xie Yue paused, then brought the tray to Yan.
"Brother Yan, without you, we wouldn't have won the Soul Master Tournament. You should be the one to distribute these three spirit bones."
Everyone looked at Yan and nodded toward him, all agreeing with Xie Yue's suggestion.
Yan didn't decline. Looking at the three spirit bones, he took the dark green one and handed it to Xie Yue.
"Your speed is the fastest among us. This Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone of Swift Movement can further enhance your speed. No one is more suitable for it than you."
"Then I'll accept it."
Xie Yue smiled as he took the spirit bone.
Next, Yan picked up the fiery red glowing right arm bone.
"This Explosive Blaze Right Arm Bone perfectly matches my attributes. I'll take this one."
As he spoke, Yan stored the right arm bone into the soul tool at his waist.
Only the light blue glowing Wisdom Skull remained on the tray.
This was an exceptional spirit bone, aged over fifty thousand years.
The previous two were both about thirty thousand years.
Although Yan contributed the most to the victory in the Soul Master Tournament, he couldn't appear greedy in front of Bibi Dong.
Because this exceptional spirit bone had originally been prepared for her beloved disciple, Hu Liena.
Yan took the Wisdom Skull and placed it in front of Hu Liena, saying:
"Nana, you're a control-type soul master. This Wisdom Skull Bone is the most suitable for you."
Looking at the light blue spirit bone radiating an alluring glow, Hu Liena was indeed tempted.
Who wouldn't want such a top-tier spirit bone?
Just when everyone thought she would accept it, she made a surprising decision.
"This spirit bone is very suitable for me, but I cannot accept it."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
Bibi Dong frowned and asked:
"Nana, why is that?"
"Your Holiness, this spirit bone is far too valuable. I am not qualified to receive it. I did not contribute much during the Soul Master Tournament. Without Yan's outstanding performance, we might have become sinners to Spirit Hall. Therefore, this spirit bone should be awarded to Yan."
Hu Liena's tone was firm.
Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Liena to voluntarily give up the spirit bone.
Hu Liena had a proud heart. As Bibi Dong's direct disciple, she had always been striving to prove her strength.
Everyone knew that the reason Spirit Hall won the Soul Master Tournament this time was largely due to Yan's contributions, and he deserved the most generous reward.
No merit, no reward.
She couldn't bring herself to take the best of the three spirit bones.
She didn't want people to gossip behind her back, saying she received favoritism from Bibi Dong.
A faint smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face. Hu Liena's attitude and magnanimity made her feel gratified.
She had always cultivated Hu Liena as her successor, so every word and deed of hers would be observed by the elders of Spirit Hall.
This time, Hu Liena did not take credit from Yan and behaved humbly, which would leave a good impression and benefit her future promotions.
If she had accepted the best Wisdom Skull today, she would have been criticized instead.
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and smiled.
"Nana, have you made up your mind? Are you really not going to take this soul bone?"
"Your Holiness, I've made up my mind. Perhaps I'll receive your reward someday in the future, but definitely not this time."
Hu Liena reaffirmed her stance.
Yan felt a bit at a loss. He had already taken the Flame Right Arm Bone. If he were to take the Wisdom Skull Bone as well, it would seem a bit greedy, especially since this one had been originally prepared for Hu Liena by Bibi Dong.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances. Neither of them had expected Hu Liena to refuse the soul bone.
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke:
"Yan, Nana is right. It was your crucial contribution that brought victory to the entire team. That Wisdom Skull Bone—take it."
"Your Holiness, I still think it's better to give it to Nana. She's more suitable than I am."
"Alright, no need to refuse anymore. You helped Spirit Hall win the championship. We can't let these three soul bones fall into the hands of outsiders. Even if you take two, it's what you deserve."
"But..."
Yan still wanted to say something, but Bibi Dong suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him.
At that moment, the ring on her finger lightly shimmered. As she turned her wrist over, a bone radiating a faint white light appeared in her palm.
Clearly, it was another soul bone.
Everyone was shocked upon seeing the soul bone.
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the crowd and slowly said:
"This is also a head-type soul bone, called the Spirit-Condensing Enchanting Skull Bone. Its age also exceeds fifty thousand years, no less valuable than the Wisdom Skull Bone."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong's eyes landed on Hu Liena.
"Nana, this soul bone is my personal belonging. I'm giving it to you now."
Hu Liena was shocked.
"Your Holiness, this is too valuable."
"Although it is precious, it's just a decoration in my hands. Take it. I hope you can bring out its greatest value."
As her voice fell, the soul bone floated over in front of Hu Liena.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Holiness. I will definitely cherish it."
Hu Liena's eyes were slightly red as she received the soul bone.
Yan also stopped refusing and stored away the Wisdom Skull Bone.
Bibi Dong continued:
"Although the tournament has ended, do not become complacent because of it. You are all elite young talents selected from countless others and bear the hope of Spirit Hall. You must continue to cultivate diligently and strive to contribute even more to Spirit Hall."
"Please rest assured, Your Holiness. We will definitely give it our all," everyone responded in unison.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.
"You may leave now. Nana, stay behind."
"Yes."
After that, Yan and the others left the Pope's Palace together.
