96: Chapter 96 Brother Ye! We're absolutely rich!!

Almost all teachers and students of the school gathered here, and even school leaders, subject tutors, and top school management lined up to wait, staring intently at the slowly stopping Military District special car with expressions full of excitement and reverence.

The moment the car door was pushed open, all the cheers suddenly rose a level, and wave-like sounds swept across the entire campus.

"Lin Ye!!"

"Quanzhou's Number One! The legend of our No. 3 High School!"

Cheers rose and fell one after another, making people's eardrums slightly numb. Countless younger schoolmates had burning eyes filled with worship and admiration, while older schoolmates from previous years also stopped to watch, their faces full of a sense of shared pride.

Lin Ye stepped out of the car slowly, looking at the grand and enthusiastic welcome scene before him. His expression remained calm and composed, without a trace of arrogance or complacency; he just nodded slightly, signaling gently to the crowd.

Everyone knew that his temperament was calm and he was never flamboyant, yet this did not affect the school-wide ultimate praise for him at this moment.

For the school and even the entire Nantan Prefecture municipal level, no one cared about the so-called hidden dangers of the fiendish spirit path and soul erosion risks on Lin Ye, let alone investigated them deeply.

Those were long-term issues that only needed to be worried about when breaking through to higher realms and ascending above true gods in the future. They were far too distant from the current high school cultivation level and could be completely shelved for the time being.

The glory and actual achievements laid out plainly on the surface right now were what everyone truly valued.

In this Quanzhou Youth League, No. 3 High School monopolized two of the top three seats in Nantan Prefecture—Lin Ye reached the summit as Quanzhou's Number One, and Xiao Qingwu ranked third.

This single result directly crushed more than one hundred high schools in Quanzhou, completely establishing the reputation of Nantan No. 3 High School and setting the best tournament record since the school's establishment, unprecedented and unmatched by anyone.

At this very moment when Lin Ye returned to school, the commendation documents from the federal and municipal levels were just issued simultaneously, transmitted layer by layer, and landed directly at No. 3 High School.

The content of the document was brief, but its weight was as heavy as a thousand jun, shocking the entire Nantan Prefecture education and cultivation system.

To commend No. 3 High School for its outstanding achievement in cultivating two top prodigies, federal officials directly allocated twenty percent of the annual cultivation resources of all high schools in Quanzhou, exclusively leaning and supplying them to No. 3 High School!

This was not the resource quota of a mere school, but the aggregation of two-tenths of the core resources of over a hundred high schools!

Massive spiritual value supplies, cultivation secret realm durations, high-order material quotas, and cultivation method unlocking permissions were all gathered and converged to be exclusively supplied to No. 3 High School.

With just this commendation, within a short month, Nantan No. 3 High School could completely transform from an ordinary municipal high school into a top-tier prestigious school with the most abundant resources, the most luxurious foundation, and top talent cultivation conditions in the entire Nantan Prefecture, completely leaving all other schools ten streets behind and truly achieving the feat of a single school crushing Quanzhou.

The school took flight, and everyone benefited, but the biggest commendation fell entirely on Lin Ye, who created this glory.

To recognize the supreme achievement of Quanzhou's champion, the city government, in conjunction with the school, specially prepared a top-tier exclusive reward package for Lin Ye, with specifications far surpassing all past prodigies, being extremely bountiful.

Massive cultivation spiritual values, high-order refining materials, and Divine Kingdom nourishing supplies were just the basic standard configurations, while the truly core rewards were each priceless and extremely scarce.

Several high-order Divine Kingdom terrain modification cards, multiple A-grade Divine Kingdom breeding cards, and brand-new high-order random dependent race incubation cards were successively issued and credited, further making up for his various shortcomings in Divine Kingdom landforms, ethnic breeding, and dependent race expansion.

The most heavyweight reward was two extremely rare landing permissions for A-grade Divine Kingdom buildings.

Although their grade was inferior to the S-grade Jinghun Hall in his hands, they were still top-tier Divine Kingdom infrastructures that peers dreamed of and were priceless yet unavailable. They could comprehensively strengthen the internal foundation of the Divine Kingdom from multiple dimensions such as territorial stability, vitality nourishment, rule condensation, and dependent race amplification, making his Divine Kingdom system increasingly complete and solid.

In addition, the city government also specially and exceptionally distributed several extremely precious divine art life-saving cards.

This type of card did not belong to combat power enhancement props, but was a true life-saving trump card. Once encountering a mortal crisis such as a fatal sneak attack, severe soul trauma, realm backlash, or crushing by a strong enemy, it could automatically trigger a divine art barrier, exempt fatal damage, stabilize the soul origin, and offset Dao backlash. It was a top-tier life-saving resource that could be met by chance but not sought, and ordinary prodigies could hardly redeem it even by exhausting their military exploits.

The rewards, which were bountiful to the extreme, accumulated layer by layer and all fell under Lin Ye's name.

The school leaders were full of smiles and hurried forward, their tones full of eagerness and expectations: "Lin Ye, you are the pride of our No. 3 High School, and even more the prodigy benchmark of the entire Nantan Prefecture! These resources are all what you deserve. Just cultivate with all your might; the school and the city will always be your most solid backing!"

The teachers and students of the school gathered their gazes on him, full of envy, admiration, and yearning.

No one discussed the danger of his fiendish qi path anymore, and no one feared his special Divine Kingdom anymore. Everyone only remembered that the young man in front of them single-handedly supported the glory and future of the entire school, allowing No. 3 High School to reach the sky in a single bound and ascend to the pinnacle of prestigious schools in Quanzhou.

Lin Ye nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed, but deep in his heart he already had a clear plan.

With massive resources in hand, the two A-grade Divine Kingdom buildings, various secret cards, and endless cultivation materials, paired with the intelligence genesis fruit and the three potential dependent race eggs he harvested earlier, were enough to make his Divine Kingdom system complete another round of all-around leapfrog transformation.

The warm welcome and reception ceremony slowly came to an end. The surrounding crowd of teachers and students gradually dispersed, and the school leaders and tutors smiled and gave a few exhortations before consciously scattering, leaving the solitary space to the returning Lin Ye.

The hustle and bustle faded, and the evening breeze brushed gently. Before Lin Ye could step out of the school gate plaza, a stout figure wailed loudly, rushing out from the side of the crowd regardless of everything, with an absurdly fast speed.

"Brother Ye!!"

Wang Hu's face was glowing red and he was excited to the extreme. He threw himself directly forward, disregarding the dust on Lin Ye's body, and gave him a solid, forceful big bear hug, trembling all over with excitement.

At this moment, he had long lost his usual honest and steady demeanor, and his eyes were filled with extreme ecstasy after getting suddenly rich. His voice was slightly hoarse from excessive excitement, and he grabbed Lin Ye's shoulders and shook them frantically.

"We've made a fortune! Brother Ye! We've completely made a fortune!!"

Wang Hu smiled from ear to ear, his entire face written with excitement and ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to spill out the great good news hidden deep in his heart.

"Do you remember that before you participated in the competition, you specially pulled me aside and dumped all the private money we two had saved for many years into the black market handicap to bet on you winning?"

Lin Ye's gaze flickered slightly upon hearing this, and he instantly recalled it in his heart.

Before the match, no one favored him, and no one believed he could win. The black market handicap even pulled his odds extremely high, not believing that he could break out of the encirclement and capture the championship.

Because of this, he specifically pulled Wang Hu along, hollowed out all their savings, and made a desperate gamble.
