Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 586: Chapter 585: Conclusion and Award Ceremony



```

Despite the fact that the majority of those who could eventually enter the high levels were definitely from High Level Bloodlines, at least it gave a chance to Low-rank Bloodlines.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox once again pressed down with both hands, and the entire venue fell silent once more.

"So, in the coming years, all children who aspire to participate in the elite contest of Demon Monster Land, you will have to put in extra effort. Who knows, you might change your fate."

"Alright, we will now begin the award ceremony for the contestants who have entered the final rounds of this competition. Let's start with the awards for the top sixteen. Competitors in both individual and pair battles who ranked in the top sixteen, please come forward."

Even the top sixteen already had rewards, among which the most important for them was recognition from various Holy Mountains. That is, recognition from the Emperors. The Emperors' choices of whom to recognize would certainly differ, generally favoring those they deemed of important bloodlines. After all, the strength of the contestants entering the top sixteen would not differ much. For example, even someone with Mengte Te's strength fell during the doubles' top sixteen battle.

There were also unrecognized contestants. If a contestant reached the top sixteen by sheer luck and their own strength wasn't strong enough, then there was the possibility they would not be recognized by the Emperors. Similarly, if a contestant with strong abilities was eliminated due to bad luck, they could still possibly be recognized by multiple Emperors, giving them more options to choose from.

Since the top sixteen rankings had already been decided, with eight individuals in the singles' competition and sixteen in the doubles', there were a total of twenty-four contestants.

However, only eighteen were able to come forward to receive their awards. The remaining six were mostly absent due to serious injuries and other such reasons; their rewards would be sent directly to them.

Neither Mengte Te nor Mengte Shi siblings came. Mengte Te was seriously injured, and as for why Mengte Shi wasn't there, that's harder to say.

One by one, the trays were brought onto the stage, personally handed to the top sixteen contestants by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. On each tray, there were mostly tokens of recognition from various Emperors. Apart from the tokens, the top sixteen contestants all received a uniform reward: Purple Crystal Coins.

Purple Crystal Coins are almost never circulated on the market, precisely because they're too valuable. As a treasure for cultivation, possessing Purple Crystal Coins is a rarity, and few would sell them, using them as money. Instead, more people would choose to keep them and absorb the pure energy within during cultivation.

The top sixteen each received a full ten Purple Crystal Coins. Although it's only ten coins, make no mistake—these are treasures that money can't easily buy.

After receiving their awards, these contestants were led off the competition stage by the staff. Immediately, the stage was cleared of the majority of people.

Next came the awards for the top eight. The awards for the quarterfinalists were significantly greater. First, the number of Emperors recognizing the quarterfinalists noticeably increased; nearly all were recognized by more than one Emperor. This was true for both the singles and doubles competition quarterfinalists. Then there was the award of Purple Crystal Coins, which now amounted to fifty coins each.

It seemed that this edition of the competition was not prepared to give too many tangible rewards and instead substituted them all with Purple Crystal Coins. It was a simple and direct approach, but one that everyone liked.

Even during the auctioning of the divine tools, no one used Purple Crystal Coins to make purchases, which shows just how precious they are.

"Next, we will present the awards for the top four. Please enter the stage."

The top four were those who had been eliminated in the semifinals. On the doubles side, there were two pairs of contestants, and in the singles, there were two individuals.

Tang San was one of the singles contestants, now one of those eligible to receive the top four awards.

Walking out beside him was that Venomous Dragon Clan contestant. When they walked out together, the venomous one gave Tang San a cold look, the corner of his mouth curling with a hint of disdain.

Tang San pretended not to see and walked forward with the rest.

The awards for the doubles competition appeared more substantial at this time, because it involved two people competing together, yet each person received the same reward as those in the singles competition, effectively doubling the prize. This was also the reason why many strong contestants had chosen to participate solely in the doubles competition and why some would even opt to give up in the singles competition earlier in order to conserve their strength for the doubles.

Six trays were brought onto the competition stage.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox distributed them to the hands of the contestants.

Tang San took his own tray, which was neatly arranged with six Emporer's tokens. Yes, six of them.

The Venomous Dragon Clan contestant beside him only had three.

Tang San briefly examined them and recognized which Emperors the six tokens belonged to.

The champion's prize was all the Emperors' tokens, as mandated by the Ancestral Court. Since Tang San was already the champion of the pairs competition, he was guaranteed to receive a complete set. The six tokens before him, however, were the true recognition from Emperors willing to offer their tokens. And this had been decided before today.

These six Emperor's tokens belonged to the Dominator of Fate Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the Unbreakable Sky Destruction Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Thorough White Tiger Demon Emperor, the Sky Piercing Cloud Conquering Sword Saint Demon Emperor, as well as the unexpectedly included Tianyang Spirit King, and Earth Suppressing Everything Earth Yin Spirit King.

The first four were within Tang San's expectations. He already had the token from Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and was somewhat surprised by the Sky Destruction Demon Emperor; he had thought that the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor would be the one to acknowledge him. The Sword Saint Demon Emperor had previously recognized him. The White Tiger Demon Emperor's token was presumably awarded considering Pretty Girl's influence.

But the involvement of Tianyang Spirit King and Earth Yin Spirit King was indeed beyond Tang San's expectations. Could it be that they had sensed his Two Qi of Yin and Yang? The two top-ranked Spirit Kings had both given him their tokens.

The tokens from these two were quite interesting, being two flowers; one a pink little flower, and the other a grey-blue one. Both emitted what seemed like gentle energy fluctuations, but as soon as Tang San used his Spiritual Power to scan them, he could immediately feel the turbulent energy within them.

These must have originated directly from the bodies of the two Spirit Kings.

It seemed that the Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant and Dark Moon Spirit Clan contestant he defeated must have reported some details about his two Qi to their respective clans, which had drawn the interest of the two great Spirit Kings.

Tang San, with his six tokens, had garnered the most among the top four contestants. After all, it was not easy to gain the recognition of an Emperor. These tokens were not offered lightly; possessing a token meant that if one chose to pledge allegiance, the Emperor was bound to incorporate them into their faction.

Apart from the six tokens, the top four contestants received another reward – a storage ring, resplendent in its radiance and embedded with a purple gemstone. Tang San, with a single sweep of his Spiritual Power, could feel the energy fluctuations within it.

Still Purple Crystal Coins, a lot of them. A full two hundred coins, four times as many as those given to the top eight contestants.

Regarding Purple Crystal Coins, Tang San had always been curious. He had long heard that Emperors cultivated with these coins, but this was his first time seeing them. Although he had not received any physical items as a reward, he was quite satisfied with the substantial number of coins.

The top four contestants stepped down, and next came the runner-up rewards.

Only three received runner-up rewards: Big Cat, the individual runner-up, and the Nine Suns Holy Sword duo, who had just lost to Tang San and Pretty Girl in the pairs competition.

The three contestants stepped forward together. Among the previous top four, only Tang San remained, as the others had been escorted offstage by the staff. Later, Tang San would join Pretty Girl to receive the champions' rewards, and Pretty Girl was set to receive the championship reward twice.

Big Cat and the Nine Suns Holy Sword duo approached the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and bowed respectfully.

The trays were brought up. In front of Big Cat, the tray held noticeably more tokens.
