Two blossoms bloomed, each displaying its own grace, standing apart in the world in radiant splendor.
Above the arena, the sparks of battle still burned fiercely, never extinguished.
Powerful contenders abounded in the Soul Ancestor realm, yet just as everyone had predicted, the eighth-grade Purple Reishi grand prize, a symbol of supreme glory, ultimately fell into no one's hands.
Although no one had succeeded in their challenge and claimed first place, second and third place could still be awarded.
After rigorous, impartial deliberation, the tournament ultimately awarded the second-place prize to Tang Chen.
Third place, however, unexpectedly went to Ling Xinyao rather than Beiming Lingyu, whom everyone had originally favored.
There were two reasons for this. First, Beiming Lingyu had chosen to face Yang Lu in his opening match rather than challenge the Chen Clan, and in the second round, he had regrettably lost to Chen Yanwu's incomparably fierce sword strike;
Second, judging by their results, Ling Xinyao and Zhu Wuxin had run neck and neck, with little to distinguish them. Given her exceptional strength, Ling Xinyao naturally deserved this honor.
Both outstanding contenders received precious seventh-grade Purple Reishi, undoubtedly the finest acknowledgment of their strength.
After all, this Purple Reishi was worth over a hundred thousand, strengthened the foundation and nurtured the origin, and caused no drug tolerance. For a body cultivator like Tang Chen in particular, it was an invaluable spirit medicine.
As for the eighth-grade Purple Reishi that symbolized the highest crown, it remained a prize reserved for Soul Kings, quietly awaiting the destined person capable of claiming it.
"Fifth Soul Skill, modified-Water-Origin Heaven-Shaking Seal!"
A black soul ring rapidly rippled outward around Chen Jianzun. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and the water elements throughout his body answered his summons, surging madly toward his palm.
