"Congratulations, Bai Zhushi! Congratulations on your resounding victory in this defense battle!!!"

"He turned the tide and saved the collapsing edifice! Bai Zhushi truly deserves to be called the pillar of the Dragon Kingdom!!"

"Compared to Bai Zhushi, our level of thought is truly inferior!"

"That's why they're considered pillars of society, while we're just frogs in a well..."

"White Pillar Stone!! From now on, if you say west, we will never go east!!! If you say we must climb mountains of knives or plunge into boiling oil, we will absolutely not flinch!!"

The extraordinary individuals present were all praising it enthusiastically.

It was all very flowery and extravagant.

They practically exaggerated Bai Xu's abilities to the point of praising her as a flower.

And what's most amazing is that...

The group that is praising the most vehemently and speaking the most vehemently right now...

It is neither the military nor the Holy Flame Alliance.

On the contrary, it was the clans and families led by Ebony Atsushi who were previously involved...

At this moment,

The principle is that they'll help whoever wins.

This was vividly demonstrated by the actions of this mob...

Bai Xu smiled as he looked at those praising him.

He naturally understood what these people were thinking.

He pressed his hands together in the air, tones down the praise from the crowd, and then said calmly:

"Gentlemen, it's clear that everyone is very happy about the victory in the war, but I think your praise is a bit excessive."

Then, he looked around:

"This victory belongs to everyone. All of us present participated in this defense, and everyone is a part of the victory. This glory is not for me to enjoy alone; everyone deserves to share in its fruits!!!"

Upon hearing Bai Xu's words,

All the extraordinary individuals present smiled and nodded.

After praising it for so long,

The most important practical benefit was promised by Bai Xu.

Nature makes everyone satisfied...

Bai Xu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing everyone's expressions.

The reason why a community of interests is called a community of interests is...

It all boils down to two words: profit and benefit.

Since everyone can benefit, the community of shared interests will not split, and the Dragon Kingdom will naturally become more united.

As the saying goes,

Give them meat, money, and steamed buns, and even a rebellion will turn into a revolution; everyone will shout for loyalty!

This is the power of a community of shared interests.

However, how the profits are divided is not up to them to decide...

Bai Xu then spoke:

"However, although everyone contributed their efforts, as you all have seen, the most dazzling person on the entire battlefield, the one who made the greatest contribution, is that young man who just left, Ye Ran. I don't think anyone doubts that, do I?"

"Therefore, I propose that 80% of the war reparations should belong to Ye Ran. Do you all agree?"

Upon hearing this,

None of the extraordinary individuals present had a second thought.

They all nodded frantically, one after another.

Are you kidding me?

First of all, let's not forget Ye Ran's battlefield contributions.

Judging solely by that kid's combat strength,

Are the people who disagree here looking to experience the same match-3 game as the Pope?

Besides, this kid is someone everyone present is trying to win over; who wouldn't want to curry favor with this promising young man?

In a short time,

The once quiet crowd began talking all at once again.

"Bai Zhushi, what's there to discuss? This is what Ye Ran deserves!!"

"That's right, Bai Zhushi, you should ask us first. Isn't this hurting Ye Ran's feelings?"

"What do you mean 80%? I suggest 90%!!!"

"By the way, Bai Zhushi, I just heard that this young hero is a teacher at your school?"

"How old is he now? Is he eligible to marry? We happen to have quite a few beautiful young women in our sect..."

"My granddaughter has just turned eighteen and is my only direct descendant!! All my family's assets will belong to them!!"

"You're talking nonsense! Don't think I don't know you old bastard have a child out of wedlock!"

"Hehe, as long as Ye Ran is willing, I won't acknowledge any of those illegitimate children!! This can be stipulated in a soul contract!!"

"Bai Zhushi, could you please introduce me to that young hero?"

In a short time,

Everyone present looked at Bai Xu expectantly.

Ye Ran, when he does speak, is astonishing.

This battle,

It left an indelible impression on the minds of all of them, the extraordinary ones.

These extraordinary geniuses throughout the ages

After Ye Ran appeared,

Everything paled in comparison.

It can be said that any force with the addition of such a monstrous talent...

It can guarantee eternal peace! It can allow one to stand at the pinnacle of power!

Bai Xu looked at everyone present and shook his head slightly:

"I'm sorry, I can't interfere with Ye Ran's actions. If you want to get close to him, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

Hearing Bai Xu's answer, the crowd also asked:

"Then may I ask, Mr. Bai Zhushi, is this young hero truly a teacher at your esteemed school?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Xu paused for a moment:

"Ye Ran is the class teacher of Class 2, Grade 1 at our Shanghai Martial Arts Academy."

Then, Bai Xu glanced at Wu Muhou, seemingly unintentionally.

Wu Muhou felt uneasy under Bai Xu's gaze...

He lowered his head directly, avoiding Bai Xu's gaze.

Seeing Wu Mu Hou's evasive maneuvers,

Bai Xu smiled and then addressed the crowd:
