The group, who were almost asleep, immediately perked up when Fang Xiu appeared.
Even Yan Changshou on the podium was no exception. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance and knew that the ministers' meetings were always very long. In order to maintain his human form, he took a special medicine in advance and forcibly suppressed the strange power in his body.
But it's been almost two hours now, and if the awards aren't presented soon, he's about to lose his temper.
Seeing Fang Xiu take the initiative to go on stage, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he was very pleased with his subordinate's actions.
Upon seeing Fang Xiu approaching, the minister quickly changed his words: "Now, please welcome Fang Xiu, the greatest contributor to solving the S-level bizarre incident, to the stage to receive his award."
He had barely finished speaking when Fang Xiu walked up to him.
"That's well said, but don't repeat it next time."
The minister remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Fang Xiu's words at all, and even took out a small, dark gold box made of Mind Steel with a smile on his face.
"Fang Xiu, this is the reward from headquarters for you. We hope you will continue your efforts. Inside is a magical artifact. You can open it and take a look."
Fang Xiu nodded and opened the box in full view of everyone.
He was well aware of the minister's purpose: to inspire people.
Let everyone see how headquarters treats its heroes, so that other Spirit Masters will be more willing to risk their lives.
After the box was opened, a bronze ring with an antique texture was revealed. The ring had a very unique design; it was actually a dragon-shaped ring.
The entire ring resembles a bronze dragon, with its head and tail coiled together.
The strangest thing is that it is a two-headed dragon, that is, it has no tail, one body and two dragon heads.
The two dragon heads are interlocked, with a crimson bead in their mouths, forming a bronze dragon ring.
At the minister's signal, Fang Xiu slowly put on the ring.
This moment truly drew everyone's attention, with countless eyes fixed on Fang Xiu's ring, everyone curious about its function.
Only Yan Changshou frowned inwardly.
How come you're actually wearing it? Hurry up and get started!
He was waiting for Fang Xiu to "smash the cup as a signal" before launching a sneak attack on Fang Moli. The poker group mixed in with the crowd, along with the people he had prepared, would then swarm in.
Everything is ready now, except for the signal from Fang Xiu.
At this moment, Yan Changshou was sitting to Fang Moli's left, with less than a meter between them. Moreover, Fang Moli's Xuanyuan Sword was stored in the sword box on his back. At this distance, he was confident that he could seriously injure Fang Moli before Fang Moli could draw the Xuanyuan Sword.
However, to be on the safe side, Yan Changshou still wanted to wait until Fang Xiu killed the minister and everyone's attention was focused on Fang Xiu and the minister before making his move, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Amidst the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Xiu steadily put on the ring, and the moment he did, he immediately sensed something was amiss.
Spiritual artifacts are indeed different from demonic artifacts. If it were a demonic artifact, you could feel the pollution of strange power the moment you put it on, but if you put on a spiritual artifact, you can only feel a gentle power.
This left Fang Xiu momentarily unmoved, and he planned to ask headquarters for some magical artifacts after dealing with Yan Changshou and the poker organization.
"Fang Xiu, the historical name for this ring is the Gold-Engraved Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl Ring, or simply the Double Dragon Ring. Its only function is to store things," the minister explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu had not yet made any statement, but the students present all showed disdain on their faces.
Some even cursed the headquarters for being stingy, saying that all they got for solving an S-level bizarre incident was a storage ring? Storage is indeed amazing and convenient, but what good is it against bizarre events?
But as the minister continued speaking, everyone realized the true value of the ring.
"It can not only store items, but also spiritual energy, and even abilities! You can infuse it with spiritual energy every day, or store your abilities in it. When you fight against the supernatural, once the spiritual energy is exhausted, you can directly call upon the spiritual energy and abilities stored within."
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
Storing spirituality and power!?
This ring is a bit too powerful. Spirituality is the foundation of a Spirit Master, the basis of all abilities, and the more powerful the ability, the more spirituality it consumes.
Imagine two equally powerful spirit masters fighting, both locked in a stalemate, their spiritual energy nearly depleted. One of them is wearing a Twin Dragon Ring, which contains enough spiritual energy to supply several of himself.
The opponent instantly becomes fully spiritual, so how can we fight them?
Even when facing enemies stronger than themselves, they are not afraid. As long as the difference in strength is not too great and they are not completely powerless, they can use the spiritual energy stored in the ring in advance to wage a protracted war and wear down the enemy.
In an instant, countless eager eyes were focused on the ring on Fang Xiu's hand.
Some audacious individuals have even started to harbor wicked intentions.
However, compared to them, Xiao Chuxia's thoughts were the most twisted. At least others could earn their own living by taking what they wanted, but she wanted Fang Xiu to give it to her for free, which was completely unrealistic.
She felt that the ring was perfect for her because the biggest drawback of her ability to lie was that it consumed too much spiritual energy; the bigger the lie, the more spiritual energy it consumed.
If I could get this ring, I would never have to worry about not having enough spiritual energy again.
She couldn't help but start to wonder, if Fang Xiu proposed to me with this ring, would I say yes or no?
Upon hearing the minister's explanation, Fang Xiu felt a sudden unease; he vaguely sensed that the minister was hinting at something.
So he probed his spirituality into the Twin Dragon Ring and immediately saw a completely different scene.
It actually already contains stored power!
