"Your Majesty is so benevolent. It is a great fortune for the Sun-Moon Empire to have a monarch like you who is so clear about rewards and punishments!"

"Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, our Sun Moon Empire has the opportunity to defeat Shrek in this continent-wide advanced soul master competition. Your majesty, this is something that the previous emperor and even the previous majesties have never accomplished!"

"You are truly the true dragon emperor of our Sun Moon Empire, and you are blessed with great fortune!"

The old eunuch bowed as he spoke, and the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire couldn't hold back his smile after hearing this.

This time, unlike the usual days when many ministers would flatter him, what the old eunuch said was true.

During the reigns of the previous emperors of the Sun-Moon Empire, there was not even a single instance where the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy defeated Shrek Academy.

Thinking that he had truly surpassed all other emperors and accomplished something that no previous emperor had done, the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire felt that his illness was mostly cured.

"Announce this matter to the entire Sun Moon Empire. I will grant amnesty to the entire world! Also, when those students return to Mingdu, ask them to come to the palace. I will personally give them another reward."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The old eunuch flattered the emperor for a while, and then immediately passed on the emperor's order. Everyone knew the importance of this matter to the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, so no one dared to do anything between the emperor and Jing Hongchen. In this way, Jing Hongchen soon learned about the emperor's commendation from the Sun-Moon Empire.

And when Jing Hongchen announced that everyone would be conferred the title of earl this time, the regular players of the Sun-Moon Empire became excited.

Although the title of earl is not particularly high, for the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy who are of ordinary backgrounds and have ordinary talents, the title of earl can be said to be a height that they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

This sudden reward made them all very excited.

However, there are also some who are not very excited, such as Xiao Qiang, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

For Jing Hongchen, the title of Duke is not his at all. It is just another title that has some effect but not much in addition to the title of Hongchen Hall Master.

The young masters and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion are obviously much stronger than ordinary earls, not to mention that Jing Hongchen's most important identity is not even the duke.

As for Xiao Qiang, due to his status as Jing Hongchen's disciple, the resources he obtained far exceeded those that an earl could obtain, so he did not care much about the earl's reward.

After all, the identity of earl can only allow Xiao Qiang to have more mansions and a noble title. In terms of the benefits of soul guides and real gold and silver, an earl is far from being comparable to the Hongchen family treasure house.

When the regular team members were excited, Jing Hongchen called Xiao Qiang over alone.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"You should also know how the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire came to power, right?" Jing Hongchen looked at Xiao Qiang and asked.

Xiao Qiang nodded. Not to mention what happened in his previous life when he visited the Unrivaled Tang Sect, just because of his identity as a disciple of Jing Hongchen, many pieces of information that were strictly blocked at the bottom level were no longer a problem for Xiao Qiang.

Although it is impossible to talk about the emperor's usurpation of the throne casually, people in high positions know many things they should know.

Xiao Qiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Hong Chen's words. Is it really possible to say in the feudal era that the emperor is useless?

As if seeing Xiao Qiang's thoughts, Jing Hongchen explained, "You don't have to be too surprised. The current emperor's situation is the consensus of all the nobles. If it weren't for the current crown prince Xu Tianran's contact, I'm afraid that with the courage of the current emperor, he would still be sitting on the position of prince. The high-ranking officials of my Sun Moon Empire know what happened back then and what kind of person the emperor is, so it doesn't matter if you don't tell outsiders."

Xiao Qiang: “…”

Was it the Holy Spirit Cult that was approached by the Crown Prince Xu Tianran to exterminate the entire family? Xiao Qiang thought about it and indeed remembered that the original novel mentioned that it was Xu Tianran who approached the Holy Spirit Cult, but he did not expect that even the murder of He Caitou's entire family was done by Xu Tianran.

However, some things can be understood in this case. The image of the old emperor in the original book is that he is not brave enough to start a war and is not enterprising. Such an emperor dared to make trouble when He Caitou was a child, but after he came to power, he only served as emperor for more than ten years, and he always appeared as a sickly background board. With this explanation, some things in the original book are reasonable.

"Don't tell anyone about the emperor's illegitimate access to the throne. What I want to tell you is this." Jing Hongchen said as he took out something that looked like a magic wand.

"Teacher, this is..."

"I made it temporarily according to the appearance of the Silver Dragon Staff, but this is not the Silver Dragon Staff."

"What is the Silver Dragon Staff?"

"Three thousand years ago, the empire hunted a silver dragon. The silver dragon was full of treasures, and the most important dragon elixir in the silver dragon's body was used to make this silver dragon staff. This time, in addition to giving everyone the status of earl, the emperor will also give a separate reward to those who have made great contributions in this competition."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"And this reward is usually obtained by going to the Sun-Moon Empire's treasury to obtain a ninth-level soul guide. Considering that your fifth soul ring absorbed the silver wolf, this silver dragon staff is extremely important to your fifth soul skill."

"In addition to increasing your control over elements, the Silver Dragon Staff also has an element that you don't have, space."

"space!"

"That's right. As long as you use the Silver Dragon Staff, you can try to sense space. It may even allow your fifth soul skill to gain control of an additional space element. If you go to the Royal Treasury to obtain a soul guide like before, remember to choose this one."

"Teacher, the Silver Dragon Staff can give a person an extra object to control the power of space. How come it's still in the royal treasury after three thousand years?"

"This is one of the few things that is not allowed to be given away permanently. The person who chooses this soul guide has the right to use it for life, but does not own it. Whenever the user dies, the soul guide will be taken back by the royal family. Therefore, this silver dragon staff is still in the royal treasury."

"I understand, teacher."

…………

As we all know, smiles are conserved.

When the Sun-Moon Emperor was so excited that he felt that his illness had improved a lot, the Sun-Moon Empire's Crown Prince Xu Tianran could no longer laugh.
