99: I am the Son of God, and I have a great harvest

At that moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the dissipating smoke.

As the smoke cleared, Bu Qingfei and Duan Mu Han lay on the ground, disheveled and covered in wounds, their weapons fallen beside them.

On the other hand, Ye Kong, apart from a slightly torn corner of his clothes, was virtually unscathed.

The difference was immediately apparent; the gap in their strength was simply too vast.

Everyone else was utterly shocked by this scene; they hadn't expected Ye Kong to truly take on twenty-five and win so easily.

Especially the four on the high platform, including Dai Ruifan, who were also surprised.

Given their experience, how difficult was it to genuinely impress them?

"This Ye Kong, his strength is truly terrifying. He actually defeated 25 True Disciples by himself, and that includes Bu Qingfei and Duan Mu Han.

He's too formidable, this young fellow."

Chao Jiao, despite being the Vice Dean of another academy, couldn't help but praise him.

Although Zhang Defei remained silent, his expression revealed the immense shock he felt.

"Old Dai, your Great Sage Academy has such a Prodigy Genius, why wasn't there any news released about him before?"

Shangguan Yun also asked Dai Ruifan with some surprise.

"Ye Kong joined our Great Sage Academy less than a month ago!" Dai Ruifan said calmly on the surface, but his heart was filled with excitement.

Ye Kong possessing such terrifying, all-crushing strength was also beyond his expectations.

"Is that so? He joined your Great Sage Academy less than a month ago? Doesn't that mean he's still a new student? This young fellow's talent is truly frightening. Even in the Imperial Capital, he would rank highly."

Hearing Dai Ruifan's words, Shangguan Yun became even more surprised.

On the arena, the heavily injured True Disciples lying on the ground looked at Ye Kong, who stood in the center radiating destructive lightning, with expressions of shock and a hint of awe.

They couldn't understand why Ye Kong, not yet twenty years old, possessed such immense power.

Each of them couldn't even withstand a single move from Ye Kong, and the same went for Bu Qingfei and Duan Mu Han.

"Ye Kong's strength is too great. I'd better focus on Cultivating myself and not challenge him."

Zhan Wuhen felt his injuries recover slightly and stood up.

He had previously thought about having a fight with Ye Kong after returning, but now, having witnessed Ye Kong's terrifying strength, he had completely abandoned that idea.

"He's too strong. How does this guy Cultivate? He's so young, yet his strength is so terrifying."

"Indeed, his strength is too terrifying. That last saber strike, I didn't even see how he attacked before I was instantly killed.

With such formidable strength, I believe he didn't rely on any special means to defeat the Martial Saint-level foreign race.

Instead, he defeated them with his own raw strength."

"Forget it, with such a huge gap, I'm utterly convinced by his victory."

These True Disciples were now genuinely impressed by Ye Kong. Even Feng Xinzhi and the other two hadn't managed to completely subdue them.

But now, having witnessed the immense disparity in strength between themselves and Ye Kong, they had no choice but to concede.

At this moment, Feng Xinzhi and the other two, who had also regained consciousness, looked at Ye Kong with complex expressions.

They had originally believed that in this competition for the Divine Son, one of them three would surely be the victor.

"We even prided ourselves as Geniuses, yet we only managed to block one of Ye Kong's moves before being defeated," Bu Qingfei said with self-mockery.

"Ye Kong's strength is too great; his rise is inevitable. His terrifying strength and Prodigy talent can probably only be suppressed by the peerless Prodigies of the Imperial Capital!"

Duan Mu Han also had a relatively open mind.

Among the three, only Feng Xinzhi clenched his fists, his face filled with unwillingness.

However, he then relaxed his fists.

That destructive saber strike earlier made him clearly aware of the enormous gap in strength between himself and Ye Kong.

Shangguan Yun personally stepped down to announce the results: "This time, the first place in the Three Prefecture Tournament goes to Ye Kong, who is specially conferred the title of Divine Son. Soon, he will proceed to participate in our Great Qin's Jiuzhou Tournament."

At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Kong with more respect than envy.

After all, Ye Kong had truly subdued them.

Wang Wentu, who was at the very back, looked at the young figure before him, who had become the Divine Son and easily defeated 25 True Disciples.

He couldn't help but feel admiration and reverence from the bottom of his heart.

Especially when he remembered how he had repeatedly sought trouble with Ye Kong.

Yet, Ye Kong hadn't taken the matter to heart at all, which made Wang Wentu admire him even more.

He even felt a sense of submission.

As the final outcome was settled, Shangguan Yun looked at everyone and said, "Ye Kong has become the Divine Son, and is hereby rewarded with a Heaven-Rank Skill,

100 Grade 5 crystals, and ten High Grade spirit herbs!"

Hearing about these rewards, everyone was shocked. They weren't overly envious of things like Grade 5 crystals and High Grade spirit herbs.

However, a Heaven-Rank Skill was different.

"My goodness, the reward this time is actually a Heaven-Rank Skill! You should know that even in our academy, Heaven-Rank Skills are considered our most prized treasures!"

"Indeed, something like a Heaven-Rank Skill is usually only accessible for Cultivation by those who become Hall Masters at least.

I didn't expect Ye Kong to directly receive a Heaven-Rank Skill this time."

"Exactly! Even Elders only have the right to peruse them. Ye Kong directly obtained a Heaven-Rank Skill; the two simply cannot be compared."

For a moment, everyone's gaze towards Ye Kong was filled with envy.

This included Chao Jiao and the other two, who were also surprised by the rewards.

They knew that the total number of Heaven-Rank Skills in their academies wouldn't exceed 20.

One can imagine the preciousness of Heaven-Rank Skills.

Afterward, Shangguan Yun handed a Storage Ring to Ye Kong.

After Ye Kong received the rewards, Shangguan Yun said to him, "Young fellow, with your talent, you will definitely not stop here. I'll be waiting for you in the Imperial Capital."

"The Imperial Capital?"

Ye Kong murmured to himself; he hadn't forgotten his promise.

Snapping back to reality, Ye Kong glanced at the contents of the Storage Ring.

Inside were 100 glowing Grade 5 crystals.

And ten spirit herbs exuding a medicinal fragrance.

Most importantly, there was also a Heaven-Rank Skill titled, "Reincarnation Firmament Saber!"

This was clearly a saber technique, and Ye Kong couldn't help but feel delighted.

Aside from Cultivation Techniques, saber techniques were the fastest way to improve his strength.

Meanwhile, with the conclusion of these competitions, Shangguan Yun announced that everyone could leave.

Dai Ruifan also called Ye Kong over to praise him and inform him of the academy's rewards.

"Ye Kong, young fellow, your strength truly exceeded our expectations; you actually became the Divine Son.

After becoming the Divine Son, the academy will reward you with 5 million contribution points, free access to five Earth-Grade Cultivation Techniques, and 50 Grade 5 crystals.

Additionally, you will have privileges exceeding those of True Disciples.

However, you will now need to prepare for the Jiuzhou Tournament. At that time, it will be a true gathering of Geniuses!"

"Understood, Vice Dean."

Ye Kong slowly replied.

As everyone departed, Ye Kong and the others also took the flying ship back to Great Sage Academy.

Along the way, the way the Great Sage Academy members looked at him was completely different from before.

Their eyes were filled with admiration and awe.

Especially Wang Wentu, who seemed to be contemplating something.

"Ye Kong, this guy's strength truly far exceeds our imagination.

That saber strike earlier, I still remember it vividly. I didn't even clearly see his figure before I was wounded."

Zhan Wuhen said with an astonished expression.

Although the others didn't speak, recalling that terrifying saber strike, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe!

They even felt that if Ye Kong's saber strike earlier had intended to end them, not a single one of them would have escaped; they would all have died there.

Even Duan Mu Han's expression was complex at this moment as he recalled.

When Ye Kong first entered the academy, he had noticed him.

He had even told others that Ye Kong possessed the strength of a top ten inner disciple, but was still a little short of being a True Disciple.

But now, it seemed how ridiculous his thoughts were. What was Ye Kong's top ten inner disciple strength?

Even he, the top-ranked True Disciple of Great Sage Academy, was instantly killed by one of his moves.

Along the way, everyone went from initial discussions to later silence.

Facing someone as immensely powerful and prodigiously talented as Ye Kong, they felt a deep sense of despair, making them somewhat afraid to try and catch up.

Upon returning to Great Sage Academy, everyone went their separate ways. Just as Ye Kong was about to return to his villa,

Wang Wentu, still wrapped in bandages, caught up to him.

With a respectful and sincere expression, he said to Ye Kong, "Big Shot Ye Kong, I want to follow you! Please."

Hearing this, Ye Kong was a little puzzled. Why would this guy suddenly want to follow him?

Seeing that Ye Kong didn't respond, Wang Wentu thought it was because his previous actions had made Ye Kong too disgusted.

He quickly explained, "Big Shot Ye Kong, the previous incidents were all orchestrated by Long Ao.

And I also heard that he was deliberately targeting you because he was pursuing Ye Liting."

Hearing these words, Ye Kong's expression remained as calm as ever.

After all, he had already guessed that Wang Wentu was instructed by Long Ao to target him.

As for Long Ao pursuing Ye Liting, Ye Kong had also known about it for a long time.

However, Ye Kong would naturally let Long Ao know that Ye Liting belonged to him.

He's not worthy of competing with me!
