The reward obtained by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was astonishing.

His cultivation increased by one hundred thousand years, and he was exempted from one Heavenly Tribulation.

He had even obtained the Sea Soul Beast God Position!

Any one of those rewards alone was enough to drive Soul Beasts mad.

Especially Soul Beasts whose cultivation had already exceeded one hundred thousand years.

Every Heavenly Tribulation was a gamble between life and death.

If they passed, they could continue cultivating and growing stronger.

If they failed, death awaited them.

Therefore, for Soul Beasts that had already surpassed one hundred thousand years of cultivation,

being exempt from a Heavenly Tribulation was the best reward.

As for a Divinity?

That was something to consider only after a million years.

Soul Beasts could not become gods before reaching one million years.

Star Dou Great Forest, within Life Lake.

Xiong Jun withdrew his gaze and stared fixedly at Di Tian beside him.

"Di Tian, a Divinity reward! That's a Divinity reward!"

"What the hell is the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King? I've never heard of him!"

"How about we go snatch that Divinity?"

Hearing this, Di Tian merely glanced at him and sneered. "Snatch a Divinity? You blockhead, you idiot!"

"Huh? What did you say? I'm not an idiot!"

"I'm furious! If you don't accept that, fight me!"

Xiong Jun flew into a rage.

He had proposed such a good idea, yet Di Tian had actually mocked him?

"If you have the ability, go take it back."

"He currently has one million six hundred thousand years of cultivation and also possesses a Divinity."

"You go ahead."

Hearing that, Xiong Jun's ferocious face twitched several times.

"Forget it. I won't bother arguing with a fish."

Di Tian snorted. "Instead of wasting your mind on other things, focus on cultivating. The Undead Race Bloodline bestowed upon you by the Master was not for you to idle around and be lazy every day!"

"Besides, we will have opportunities to obtain Sky Screen rewards in the future—perhaps even Divinities!"

As the former captain of the Dragon God's personal guards, he longed too desperately to become a god.

For that, he had chosen to undergo tribulations time and time again.

Yet he had still not succeeded.

Now, his duty was to protect the Silver Dragon King and await her awakening.

Xiong Jun chuckled. "The Undead Race Bloodline bestowed by the Master really is heaven-defying!"

"The Master also obtained the Undead Race Bloodline, so why hasn't she awakened yet? Has she not finished healing?"

Di Tian remained expressionless.

"Idiot. With the Master absent, she cannot be bothered to wake up."

"Huh? Why?"

"Hey? You're leaving too? Explain it clearly!"

"Di Tian! You bastard!!!"

Xiong Jun roared, but Di Tian could not be bothered to pay him any attention.

Being around beasts with poor intelligence could affect him.

It was better to stay far away!

Far North.

The Ice Empress was so furious that her lungs nearly exploded.

"That stupid human Soul Master!"

"He caused Sister to lose her chance at receiving a reward. He deserves to die!"

"I'm going to the human world to stab him to death!"

She was directly driven into a berserk rage.

It had been such a good opportunity. Everyone could have received rewards.

Yet that ugly human had actually given the wrong answer!

Sister's reward had drifted away right before her eyes.

The Snow Empress shook her head slightly.

This girl seemingly had not considered that she had previously believed herself to be the strongest Soul Beast.

She also knew absolutely nothing about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

However...

There was actually a Soul Beast with one million five hundred thousand years of cultivation, and it was even a sea Soul Beast?

Even stranger was this.

He had already surpassed one million years, yet he still had not become a god.

But now that he had obtained a Divinity, he should have become one.

A Soul Beast gaining a Divinity should be a good thing for the Soul Beasts of Douluo Continent.

At the very least, humanity's attitude toward Soul Beasts might change.

Although human Soul Masters rarely set foot in the Far North,

she knew that

the lives of Soul Beasts elsewhere were not easy.

They constantly had to worry about being hunted.

Even here in the Far North, some human Soul Masters came to hunt Soul Beasts.

It was simply that no one dared venture deep into the Far North.

The climate here was harsher, and the Soul Beasts were even more terrifyingly powerful.

Human Soul Masters did not dare enter lightly.

Star Luo Empire.

When Dai Weisi saw the contents of the Sky Screen, he could not help clenching his fists.

Good!

He had nearly forgotten about this.

Those who answered incorrectly were to be punished!

The reward for the correct answer was so terrifying.

The punishment should be comparable, right?

How wonderful it would be if Dai Mubai could be completely crippled—or even killed.

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender and the others fixed their gazes on Dai Mubai within the Sky Screen Scroll.

Punishment!

Rewards for correct answers, punishment for wrong ones.

It was a very fair principle.

Moreover, it had been a rule announced before registration.

Anyone who registered had effectively accepted such rules.

"Boss Dai... he won't be in trouble, right?"

Oscar swallowed.

The joy from Dai Mubai being selected earlier had completely vanished.

Only deep fear remained.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly, his gaze steady.

"Probably not."

"Gods are merciful toward humans. There will not be any severe punishment."

Though he said that, he had no confidence in his heart.

How could humans possibly fathom the thoughts of gods?

Dai Mubai, who was within the Sky Screen Scroll,

was completely panicking by now.

What would the punishment be?

He had already embarrassed himself before the entire continent, and they were still going to punish him?

Unfair!

But the Sky Screen did not care about his feelings. The punishment that should be given would still be given.

[Dai Mubai's punishment is as follows: the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that he consumed shall be stripped away!]

The Sky Screen's punishment descended!

Within the scroll, golden light flickered inside Dai Mubai's body.

His scream resounded through the skies.

Moments later, a glimmer of light appeared from his chest. It eventually floated out and transformed into an Immortal Herb.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

It was an enormous chrysanthemum, a gorgeous purple in color.

Every petal looked fluffy and exceptionally adorable.

The central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals.

The tip of the stamen shimmered with a faint golden radiance.

The next second, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum shattered and dissipated into specks of light.

The Immortal Herb had been forcibly stripped from his body.

That pain was no less agonizing than having his tendons torn and bones dislocated.

The extreme pain nearly made Dai Mubai faint.

Punishing him like this before everyone's eyes

was telling the entire continent that he was no longer capable.

He was no longer a man!

At that thought, Dai Mubai directly fainted.

Once the punishment was complete, Dai Mubai's body flew out of the Sky Screen Scroll and landed within Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Boss Dai!"

"Mubai!"

Everyone immediately crowded around him.

Dai Mubai barely opened his eyes and saw only Zhu Zhuqing's concerned gaze.

That gaze was even more lethal.

It stimulated him so much that he fainted again.

Flender placed his fingers on Dai Mubai's wrist and shook his head slightly.

"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has been stripped away. Mubai's Soul Power has fallen to level thirty-eight."

"And... his physical condition has deteriorated severely."

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at one another.

They had not expected the Sky Screen's punishment to be so terrifying!

This was equivalent to completely crippling Dai Mubai!

"Take Mubai back to his dormitory to rest."

Flender pushed up his glasses. No matter what, they had to take care of him first.

Meanwhile, the people across the entire continent were focused on one thing.

Immortal Herb!

What exactly was that?

It looked incredibly, incredibly precious.

And how had Dai Mubai obtained an Immortal Herb before?
