Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Marquis of Celestial Shadow
Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly, he raised his head, and looked at Lu Yuan with indifferent eyes.
He noticed Lu Yuan's gaze, but in fact, this was not the reason why he noticed Lu Yuan.
After all, Yu Yuanzhen, Bone Douluo, and the Snow Night Emperor sat in the center of the audience, and the audience and even the players couldn't help but look at them.
Lu Yuan's gaze was not a unique bold gaze, and the reason why Yu Yuanzhen looked at him was because of ......
Lu Yuan had a familiar and unfamiliar aura on his body.
It's like the breath of a blue electric Tyrannosaurus rex soul master, but it doesn't feel like it when you look closely.
Lu Yuan also noticed Yu Yuanzhen's gaze, for Yu Xiaogang's father, he just glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.
This can be regarded as respecting Yu Yuanzhen's identity as a Thunder Douluo, and at the same time, it is also to avoid provoking Yu Yuanzhen's dislike.
After all, he had banished his own sons to a bitter cold place like the Far North, and he was sure that others would not be much better for his senses.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Lu Yuan, and with his strength of the ninety-fifth level Title Douluo, he was somewhat keenly aware of the power in Lu Yuan's body that belonged to the Divine Dragon Venerable.
Although the aura emanating from this Lu Yuan was more of the power of shadow and annihilation, he could still feel that under the power of shadow and annihilation, there was a power similar to that of his blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex martial spirit.
The same dragon martial soul breath, the same feeling of thunderous power.
After all, Lu Yuan's current Storm Thunder Dragon Martial Soul has already attained six soul rings, although the level of strength is not as good as the Death Star Demon Scythe and the Hellblade.
However, the power of the Divine Dragon Venerable, who had absorbed the six soul rings, had grown a lot, and now it was higher than the power of the Night Messenger, second only to the power of the Death Star Scythe.
In addition, Yu Yuanzhen, the blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Title Douluo, is very familiar with the taste of the same type of martial soul, so he naturally has some perception.
But at this moment, Lu Yuan only felt the power of Raast surging in his body.
"Boy, don't be nervous, that guy seems to feel the power of that divine dragon in your body." Raaste's voice rang in his head.
Lu Yuan nodded, he didn't expect Yu Yuanzhen to be able to feel the power of the Divine Dragon Venerable contained in his body.
Yu Yuanzhen suddenly felt that the faint power in Lu Yuan's body, which was very similar to the blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex martial spirit, had dissipated, as if it was his illusion.
Sensing it carefully, Lu Yuan only had that shadow and the breath of silence.
He frowned, "Is it a delusion?"
Then Yu Yuanzhen withdrew his gaze and looked at the other side, the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy on the right side of the team led by Lu Yuan.
The two blue dragon twin stars, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, were the leaders, and when they felt Yu Yuanzhen's gaze, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin both smiled.
Yu Yuanzhen also smiled and nodded at this time, after all, he was Yu Tianheng's own grandfather, and Yu Tianxin also had to call him uncle (real uncle).
And the sitting Bone Douluo also looked at Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong behind Lu Yuan at this time, he smiled, smiled at them and nodded.
Lu Yuan didn't treat Bone Douluo like he did to Yu Yuanzhen, but like Ning Rongrong, he looked at Bone Douluo and smiled.
When all the players of the fifteen teams walked in front of the Snow Night Emperor and the others, the Snow Night Emperor nodded to the master of ceremonies on the ceremony stage.
….
The master of ceremonies comprehended, and immediately picked up the amplified soul guide and said, "Welcome to all the genius soul masters who have returned with honor on behalf of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
Suddenly, the audience fell silent a little from the noise, although it was not completely quiet, but the noise was always much lower.
"In this year's All-Continent Soul Master Advanced Competition, they fought hard for the glory of our Heaven Dou Empire with their talent and hard work, and even traveled thousands of miles to Wuhun City to participate in the competition."
"In the Continent-wide Soul Master Advanced Competition, they are not afraid of their opponents, they overcome strong enemies, and constantly defeat opponents from other countries, so that other countries can see the strength and demeanor of our Heaven Dou Empire's soul masters!"
"And now, let's give a warm welcome to these genius soul masters who have won honor on behalf of our Heaven Dou Empire
Hello and applause?!"
In an instant, there was thunderous applause and cheers, and nearly 100,000 people of the Heaven Dou Empire in the audience were feverishly cheering for the fifteen teams on the stage.
This kind of collective fanatical behavior will infect individuals, and the sense of collective honor makes them can't help but become fanatical, even if they are just spectators.
Lu Yuan and the others once again felt the heartfelt joy surging in their hearts, which was even stronger than the cheers and support they had just received from the residents of Heaven Dou City.
These hundreds of thousands of people cheered for you at the same time, singing about your exploits, it was simply wonderful!
At this moment, the master of ceremonies saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and then shouted, "And next, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire to speak!"
The Snowy Night Emperor smiled slightly, and slowly got up amid thunderous applause and cheers.
He raised his right hand and waved it lightly to the audience and the participating soul masters below, and the applause quickly stopped, and the huge soul fighting arena became silent.
He took the amplified soul guide in the master of ceremonies' hand, and his deep and loud voice spread throughout the audience through the amplified soul guide, "First of all, I also want to cheer for these genius soul masters who have won glory for our Heaven Dou Empire!"
The Snowy Night Emperor looked at the Heaven Dou Empire contestants led by Lu Yuan, and showed a smile like a spring breeze, "You guys did a very good job! I and the Empire will thank you for your efforts and dedication to this end!"
"In this Continent-wide Soul Master Advanced Competition, I know that the enemies you are facing are not simple, whether it is the Star Luo Empire or the Martial Spirit Palace, which has won the championship of the two competitions for two consecutive years, they are not idle people!"
"I am very aware of the difficulties you went through to defeat the enemy, and you also encountered great difficulties in going to Wuhun City, but you all overcame them, and still participated in the competition, showing the demeanor of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Even, in the end, he defeated the Star Luo Royal Academy and the Martial Spirit Hall Academy and won the final championship!"
"For that, I want to thank you!"
The emperor's thanks were simply too lethal, and many players in the audience were quite moved.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee to the Snow Night Emperor, put his right hand on his chest, bowed his head slightly, and shouted loudly with his soul power, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty and the Empire!"
can only say that he has always been very good at acting.
And his behavior can be described as full of emotional intelligence.
Soon, all the contestants, under the leadership of Lu Yuan, learned to kneel down on one knee, touch their chests with their right hands, and shouted in unison, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty and the Empire!"
….
Seeing this, the Snowy Night Emperor was quite satisfied, and Lu Yuan's behavior of kneeling on one knee and then loudly expressing his loyalty made him very dignified.
"Good! Very good! They're all good boys!" He laughed out loud and said, "Get up!"
Lu Yuan and the others immediately stood up, and the Snow Night Emperor was quite satisfied, and then continued, "Before that, I already said that if you can win the championship on behalf of the Empire, you will be rewarded!"
"Not only the team that won the championship on behalf of the Empire, but also other teams that also fought for the Empire and played the style of the Empire, there are rewards!"
"First of all! Canghui Academy, Tianshui Academy, Alien Beast Academy, Hundred Beast Academy...... Divine Wind Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy......" His voice paused, "...... Second team!"
"Get out of the ranks!"
Suddenly, a total of fourteen teams of players came out, and only Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Yan Zhuyin, Lu Qingqing and the Shi brothers were still in place.
But they weren't impatient at all, after all, they were the protagonists of the celebration.
"Although you didn't go to the end and win the championship on behalf of the Empire, you showed the Empire very well in the competition!" The Snowy Night Emperor shouted.
At the same time, fourteen royal knights with trays of red cloth on them walked out of the royal knights around the ceremonial stage, and they walked in front of the fourteen teams in the most solemn way in their armor.
"In terms of merit and reward, appoint people on the basis of merit, and the empire will last forever!" The Snowy Night Emperor continued, "So, I would like to reward each of you with 100,000 Gold Soul Coins! It's just your team
Prizes for the players!"
Each team had 100,000 gold soul coins, and many of the civilian players present were stunned in an instant.
Only disciples from top aristocratic families such as Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, and Ye Lengleng did not show too much excitement.
But for those players from humble backgrounds, 100,000 gold soul coins, even if the main team and substitute players add up to ten people and divide it equally, everyone has an income of 10,000 gold soul coins.
And 10,000 gold soul coins is already a huge amount of money that ordinary soul masters dare not imagine, after all, the soul master subsidy of the Wuhun Hall can only be received below the soul sect, and the most money can be received is the level of soul venerable, which can receive a huge amount of one hundred gold soul coins a month.
But 10,000 gold soul coins can only be saved after eight or nine years of soul venerability.
Above the Soul Sect, these players who are still in the academy are completely eating their previous savings, and they are waiting to go out to find a job to make money after graduation.
So that's undoubtedly a lot of money for them.
I saw that the fourteen royal knights were holding the tray and uncovering the red cloth on it, only to see that among their trays were fourteen golden soul coin cards that were neatly emitting golden light.
The Heaven Dou Empire is indeed generous, with fourteen teams, each team has 100,000 gold soul coins, which is 1.4 million gold soul coins.
Although it is not as outrageous as the Wuhun Palace, it is a soul bone to shoot directly, but the Wuhun Hall is just a reward for the champion, not for all the participating teams!
Of the thirty-one teams that went to participate, the Martial Spirit Hall only rewarded the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, while the other teams returned empty-handed.
Calculated in this way, the Heaven Dou Empire's reward of 1.4 million gold soul coins is indeed magnificent!
….
This amount of money is actually a huge amount of money for any scholar clan in Heaven Dou City except for the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect.
Although it is not a nerve-wracking thing, it is at least the family's income for a year or half a year, and some small nobles may go bankrupt directly.
And in terms of money, it can't be compared with the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, the wealth of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect is rivaled by the country, and it may even be richer than the treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire also has to bear the functions of the operation of the empire, aristocratic salaries, military expenditures, etc., and the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect is instead just maintaining the expenses of its own sect and disciples, which is indeed incomparable.
At this time, the Snowy Night Emperor continued to smile and said, "At the same time, in the next five years, the empire will invest 500,000 gold soul coins per year in your name for the academy where you are located, so as to encourage the younger generation soul masters of the academy to continue to cultivate hard and carry forward your spirit!"
This is just a nominal reward, and the real beneficiary is your alma mater.
But it also made them very happy, after all, they were all carefully cultivated by their own academy, and they were not the kind of students who were excluded from the academy - they would not represent the academy if they were excluded.
So they have a deep affection for their alma mater, and if their alma mater is good, they are naturally very happy.
Especially a pure civilian academy like Canghui Academy is extremely excited, so that their academy will be able to absorb more civilian students in the future and expand its strength!
After the captains of the fourteen teams received the golden soul cards representing 100,000 gold soul coins, they slowly retreated from the ceremony platform under the command of the Royal Knights.
There was only the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team led by Lu Yuan left on the stage, and suddenly everyone looked at this very young team and realized ......
The big one is coming!
Now comes the main event!
The Snowy Night Emperor suddenly smiled slightly, and continued to use the amplified soul guide to say, "Okay, the rewards of the other teams are all there, and they all say that they will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, since this is the case, then the team that won the championship and made the greatest contribution to our Heaven Dou Empire should naturally be rewarded the heaviest!"
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy...... It is an academy supported by our empire, and it also represents me and the royal family, you can win the championship! Good! Very good!"
"It's all about us." Lu Yuan took the lead and bowed half-bowed and said.
"If you should do it, then I should reward it!" The Snowy Night Emperor haha
Said with a smile.
He looked at Lu Yuan with a look in his eyes at this time, he was quite satisfied, such a powerful genius soul master, or a twin martial soul, and he looked so loyal to him and the empire.
It's a pity that such a genius soul master was taken first by Ning Fengzhi and can't be his son-in-law......
Otherwise, everything is perfect!
"As I said before, if any of you team wins the final match, the whole team will be promoted to one level, and the prefix of the academy will be added with the word royal, which is financially supported by the Empire."
"And the captain and deputy captain will get a promise from me, whether it is a fief request, a treasure reward, or an official position, I can agree!"
"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was originally named after the royal family, so this reward should be replaced with something else, *** simply replaced, this year the empire will allocate funds for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to expand the scope of the academy again, and the scope of the academy is allowed to be doubled again, and the three education committees of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are free to choose the location of the new campus!"
….
This is a bit unexpected, after all, the campus of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was originally amazingly large, and now it has to be doubled again?
This doubled academy area was allocated by the Heaven Dou Empire, and as for the amount of allocation, the Snow Night Emperor did not stipulate the scope.
Obviously, doubling the scope of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy campus is no longer something that one or two million gold soul coins can do, and this reward is much more than the reward of the fourteen teams with a total of 1.4 million gold soul coins!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Yuan and the others immediately half-bowed and thanked them.
"And the seven of you will each be rewarded with 100,000 gold soul coins!" The Snowy Night Emperor clapped his hands again, and immediately the seven royal knights came out again with trays.
This person can get a reward from someone else's team, which makes the other players in the audience very envious.
But there must be no jealousy, after all, if you want to take the reward of 100,000 gold soul coins, you have to defeat the Soul Hall team with three soul king-level martial souls.
Except for the team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who can do it.
This belongs to the reward that should be deserved, and there is no jealousy at all.
After talking about the first two rewards, the Snow Night Emperor then looked at Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, who were the leaders of the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, "Okay, the other rewards are all over, and then I just said, "You two will get a promise from me that you two will lead the captain and vice captain to win the championship, whether it is a fiefdom request, a treasure reward, or an official position, I can agree to it."
Ning Rongrong pondered for a while, then took the lead and said, "I want to ...... So that Your Majesty can be for me and the little ...... at that time I and my fiancé Lu Yuan personally held a grand wedding!"
Suddenly, everyone was a little stunned.
didn't expect Ning Rongrong to make such a request, even Lu Yuan was a little stunned.
He obviously didn't expect Ning Rongrong to say that.
But if you think about it carefully, Ning Rongrong is actually in excellent conditions now, with a family background, wealth and title, and there is nothing to ask for.
The only thing she still cares about is her marriage with Lu Yuan, which makes sense.
Moreover, if the Snow Night Emperor was allowed to arrange the marriage for Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, in fact, even if the relationship between Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong was announced to everyone, it could be regarded as the whole Heaven Dou Empire offering blessings to their wedding.
Suddenly, the Snowy Night Emperor smiled and nodded, this promise is not very difficult, the empire will spend millions of gold soul coins at most to organize a wedding for this purpose, and it is not even as big as the cost of expanding the campus of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Okay, I promise you, I'm looking forward to when you get married." The Snowy Night Emperor said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Rongrong stepped back with a happy face.
Then, the Snowy Night Emperor looked at Lu Yuan again, "So...... Lu Yuan, what about you?"
Lu Yuan stepped forward at this time, and then knelt down on one knee again in the face of the Snow Night Emperor, "Your Majesty! I beg ...... You canonized me as a general! I'm going to keep serving the Empire!"
The Snowy Night Emperor was stunned for a moment, but soon, his face showed joy
Yue's look.
After all, after this competition, everyone actually thought that Lu Yuan would take over the affairs of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect given by Ning Fengzhi together with Ning Rongrong.
….
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan gave up the choice given by the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, and instead planned to join the army of the Heaven Dou Empire and continue to serve the empire!
How could this not surprise the Emperor of the Snowy Night?
"Good! Very good! Very good!" The Snowy Night Emperor said with a laugh.
"Your willingness to serve the Empire is undoubtedly very good! How could I refuse?!" He laughed and said, "This matter, if you want, you don't need my promise at all, it's okay!"
"In that case...... the Snowy Night Emperor thought for a moment before saying, "I can't let you suffer like this."
"You grew up in Notting City, so I'll change your earl title to Marquis! And your marquis's fief is sealed in Notting City! Give you a knighthood......" He thought for a moment, and decided to take out a word from the name of the martial soul on Lu Yuan's body and take the name, and add a word from the Heaven Dou Empire, "Give the title of Heavenly Shadow Marquis!" Notting City has changed its name to Sky Studios!"
Originally, Lu Yuan should have been just an earl, but he didn't expect the Snow Night Emperor to directly seal a marquis to Lu Yuan at this moment!
[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it is an artifact that supports offline reading, huann.]
This is actually equivalent to Lu Yuan's promise to become a promise to upgrade the title to another level, and it is not too outrageous to think about it this way.
"However, you are not qualified enough to command a large army, so I will temporarily canonize you as a general in the army, and join the soldiers of the Royal Knights ...... the Self-Unification Division" The Snow Night Emperor thought about it again, and then made a decision, "And personally obey the orders of the crown prince, and be responsible for guarding the daily safety of the prince Xue Qinghe!"
Qian Lingxue in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly.
Lu Yuan was also stunned for a moment, but he still nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor!"
