Beneath the arena, several women and children dressed in mourning clothes were weeping softly.
Zhang Yunshan walked up to them and bowed deeply before loudly announcing, "By the Family Head's order! The compensation for every clansman who sacrificed their life in this battle will be doubled, and their eldest descendants will be granted the treatment of Core Disciples!"
"The family will support their elders and children for a hundred years!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was deeply moved.
Those family members who had still been mourning moments ago were now so touched that they knelt on the ground and refused to rise.
In this cruel Cultivation World, people dying and their lamps going out was the norm.
Being given a few Spirit Stones to send them off was already considered benevolent.
For a family like the Zhang Family to promise to support the deceased's elders and children while focusing on cultivating their descendants was simply unheard of.
This was not merely buying people's loyalty.
It was clearly telling everyone: selling your life for the Zhang Family was worth it!
After the compensation matters were settled, the atmosphere gradually became livelier.
"Next, we'll reward everyone according to their merits!"
With a grand wave of Zhang Yunshan's hand, the names of the clansmen who had fought bravely in this battle were called out one after another.
Especially the ten warriors who had participated in the Arena Competition.
They became the focus of the entire venue.
"Zhang Tieshan achieved victory in the opening battle of the Arena Competition, slew a powerful enemy, and raised our clan's prestige! Reward him with two hundred Medium-grade Spirit Stones, grant him ten Foundation Establishment pills, and promote him to Inner Sect Steward of the family!"
"Thank you, Family Head! Thank you, Young Master!"
