"A debt must be paid with money, and a life for a life"
Blake gritted his teeth and said unyieldingly.
The Emperor was furious. A mere Soul Sage didn't know how to appreciate his kindness. He could make this guy disappear forever with just one word.
However, this was a public event. There There were so many people watching.
Furthermore, one of their princes had died. Heaven Dou was in the wrong.
Hence, the Emperor controlled his temper and said, "How about this? I won't pursue the matter of you attacking Fang Xuan. I'll let you escort Douglas' body back to your country and compensate you with five million gold soul coins. Then, we'll call it a day"
He changed his tone and said in a low voice, "Otherwise …"
His words were cold and murderous.
He didn't continue, but how could Blake not understand what the Snowy Night Emperor was trying to say?
The Emperor's patience had reached its limit. If Blake didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't be able to return to the Balak Kingdom alive.
"Alright! Thank you, Your Majesty"
Blake's expression changed. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he could only agree to the Emperor's warning and threat.
Don't agree?
If you don't agree, you'll lose your life.
"Very good"
The Emperor nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
"Oh, it seems like this matter has been resolved."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Five million gold soul coins?
When he heard about this astronomical figure, Fang Xuan's eyes widened. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Wait, I have an opinion"
"Uh …"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Fang Xuan in unison. His Majesty the Emperor had spent so much money to settle the trouble for you. If you had nothing to do, you should just stay quietly. Why did you jump out to cause trouble?
Fang Xuan wanted to be a pretty boy. However, there was too much money. It was five million gold soul coins. Hence, he couldn't help but
…
"That, five million is too much. Why don't we reduce it a little?" Fang Xuan smiled innocently and looked at Blake.
Everyone was petrified when they heard this.
Big brother, you just won the championship, can you not do such a shameful thing?
Everyone was speechless. They did not expect Fang Xuan to be distressed over money!
Douglas was already dead. Why would he need so much money?
Big brother, you have so much money that you can't spend it on me! I'm short of money!
Fang Xuan cursed silently. Recently, he wanted to get a good knife from Crazy 'Ole, but he needed money
"Fang Xuan, shut up"
The Emperor's face darkened. He immediately stopped Fang Xuan. He had just convinced Blake. This useless son of his had almost screwed him up.
"Tsk! This little bastard … "
Blake's expression was ugly as he cursed Fang Xuan in his heart. He quickly put away Douglas' body and left the arena in a hurry.
Before he left, he gave Fang Xuan a cold look.
…
In any case, this matter had finally come to an end.
The Genius Battle had come to a successful conclusion. Next up was the award ceremony.
Because Fang Xuan had won the championship, the Emperor was especially happy. He directly bestowed the title of Viscount to the top ten students. As for the champion, Fang Xuan, he went from an ordinary commoner to a noble Earl.
Many people were envious of him.
However, this title did not seem to have much use in the Douluo Continent. It was better to just give him money.
'Soul bone! Soul bone'
Fang Xuan walked up to the stage with a face full of anticipation. He waited for the champion's prize to be presented.
Before the competition, he had already heard that the champion's prize was a fire-type ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
A person could have a total of six Soul Bones on their body. Each Soul Bone was very precious. Fang Xuan had not obtained a Soul Bone until now.
Therefore, he was especially looking forward to the Soul Bone awarded by the Empire.
I wonder where it is …
Fang Xuan muttered to himself as he quietly waited.
"Fang Xuan, congratulations on winning the championship. This is your prize"
The Emperor smiled as he walked over. First, he patted Fang Xuan's shoulder affectionately. Then, he flipped his right hand over. A green Soul Bone appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling green light.
The moment the Soul Bone appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's throat bobbed violently. Their eyes were burning with passion. Even Meng Shenji and the other two Soul Douluo were envious.
"This … this is …"
Fang Xuan was slightly stunned. He quickly took the Soul Bone from the Snowy Night Emperor's hand. After carefully inspecting it for a while, he muttered, "Eh, didn't they say it was a Fire-type ten-thousand-year Soul Bone …"
From the aura of this Soul Bone, it was obvious that it was not a fire-type Soul Bone. It was a plant-type Soul Bone.
"Could it have been swapped …?"
He seriously suspected that his prize had been tampered with. It could have been swapped by someone.
"Haha, this is indeed not the original fire-type ten-thousand-year Soul Bone."
The Snowy Night Emperor smiled slightly, and there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Without batting an eyelid, he leaned close to Fang Xuan's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"This is a plant-type … fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone"
A fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone.
After hearing this, Fang Xuan's eyes widened. He was ecstatic.
No wonder the aura of this jade-green Soul Bone was so strong. He did not expect it to be a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone.
What's going on? Isn't this supposed to be a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone?
How did it suddenly become a fifty thousand-year Soul Bone?
Fang Xuan was a little confused. When He sensed the Emperor's warm and friendly gaze, he thought carefully and instantly understood.
The Emperor wanted to use this fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone to buy people's hearts. He wanted to make up for the mistreatment of Fang Xuan in the past so that he would wholeheartedly serve the Heaven Dou Empire.
As expected of an Emperor, he was very shrewd and bold.
Using a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone to buy people's hearts was not something an ordinary person could do. This was because it was simply too precious.
If a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone were to be found in the outside world, a group of Titled Douluo would fight over it. Now, the Emperor had directly given this fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone to Fang Xuan as a prize.
Fang Xuan was a little impressed by the Emperor's schemes and methods.
However, no matter what, Fang Xuan was still very happy and surprised to receive a fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone for no reason.
"Fang Xuan, this soul bone is too precious. Don't go anywhere during this period. Just stay in the Heaven Dou Academy and absorb this soul bone completely" The Emperor exhorted seriously.
"Yes, I understand"
Fang Xuan kept the Soul Bone and nodded seriously.
The Genius Battle had come to an end.
