Chapter 101 Ch 101: Reward Distribution

After a while, the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

On the high platform, First Elder stood up and looked around. He deliberately glanced at Alex and a satisfied look flashed across his face.

After that, he said in a clear voice, "This year's competition is coming to an end. And the one who performed the best in this year's competition is Alex. He is just a new disciple who had entered the Outer Court for close to two months, but he actually won first place in the competition. He has broken the record of Outer Court, in fact, the record of the entire Floating Cloud Academy!"

First Elder praised Alex continuously for a while before he got to the main topic, "Next up is the time for the rewards to be distributed. Next, let the top three of the competition go to the stage. I will give out the award. The top ten of the competition, give your number plates to the Deacon in charge and he will lead you up to the stage."

Obviously, in First Elder's eyes, only the top three were worth paying attention to. He didn't care about the others at all.

After that, there was a round of applause from the crowd.

Alex, Matt, and Lena Freser walked toward the stage under everyone's gaze. According to the ranking, Matt followed behind Alex and was in second place.

However, Matt only felt his scalp go numb. To him, this award was not a reward, but a punishment. He was an old disciple who had reached the Golden Core Stage, but he had lost to a new Innate Stage disciple. He had lost too much face.

Now, he was going to receive the award of the Second Place instead of first, he had simply made a fool of himself in front of everyone. At this moment, Matt wanted to find a crack to crawl into.

Behind Matt was the third place, Lena Freser. Lena Freser's expression was indifferent and she was even smiling. She was originally the third place, and now she was still the third place. Her ranking did not change.

Getty Topher, who was ranked second before her, was unlucky. He had met Alex in the competition ahead of time and was instantly defeated by him. He didn't even make it into the top three.

Compared to Getty Topher, Lena had improved a lot. Furthermore, when faced with a genius like Alex who had already comprehended the Sword Intent, even a Golden Core Stage martial warrior like Matt was defeated by him. It was perfectly normal for an Innate Stage martial warrior like her to be defeated by Alex.

Therefore, she no longer felt dispirited. Instead, she had regained her composure and even had a smile on her face.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the tall platform.

Alex's eyes swept across First Elder and Andre.

Not far away, First Elder also looked at Alex and the other two with a smile in his eyes. He waved his hand and said: "Alex, come here."

Alex walked over and greeted First Elder as well as Andre. No matter what, Andre was still the Core Disciple of the Floating Cloud Academy!

First Elder and Andre both nodded in response. First Elder smiled and said: "Alex, take out your identity token."

When Alex heard him, he took out the identity token from the Spatial Ring and handed it to him.

First Elder took the identity token and circulated his spirit energy. After lightly tapping the identity card, he handed the identity card back to Alex.

"Alex, you're only an Innate Stage level 9. But with your talent, you should be able to break through to the Golden Core Stage in less than ten days and enter the Inner Court. Therefore, I gave you five thousand contribution points. Three thousand is the reward for first place in the competition. As for the other two thousand, consider them as my gift to you."

"Thank you, First Elder." Alex took the identity token and thanked the First Elder.

Behind him, Matt and Lina's mouths slightly opened when they heard this, and they were somewhat stunned.

Those were 2,000 contribution points!

To many disciples of the Inner Court, they might not have that many savings on them.

First Elder, on the other hand, gave it to Alex, a disciple of the Outer Court, just like that. It was for a completely unreasonable reason.

Immediately, Matt and Lina's expressions turned into envy.

The reason why Matt came to participate in the competition after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage was that he wanted to obtain some glory in the Outer Court, and also a generous reward for being the champion of the competition.

The reward was three thousand contribution points, which was equivalent to at least three hundred Low Grade Spirit Stone. After he entered Inner Court, these contribution points were enough for him to use for a long period of time.

However, First Elder had given Alex five thousand contribution points in one go. This reward was almost twice as much as before.

This made the other two very envious.

Of course, they also knew that First Elder had randomly found a reason to give Alex a reward that was nearly twice as much as the previous reward. It was mainly because he admired Alex's talent and wanted to nurture him. That was why he had poured most of his resources on Alex.

They didn't have Alex's talent. To be precise, their talent wasn't worth mentioning in front of Alex. They weren't on the same level. Therefore, First Elder naturally wouldn't give them any preferential treatment.

Therefore, the two of them could only envy him for a while. They had no other thoughts.

"You have to work hard in the future. Don't let down the expectations and nurturing of the sect." First Elder smiled and nodded.

"I understand," Alex replied in a light voice.

After First Elder gave Alex a few more words of encouragement, he asked Alex to step back and stand aside. He was going to give Matt and Lina the award next. They each got second and third place respectively.

However, after they knew the number of rewards Alex had received, they were all very bored with their rewards. They were no longer as happy as before. Even though the rewards for this competition were more than twice as many as the previous ones. However, compared to Alex's rewards, Matt, who was ranked second, had only gotten one thousand contribution points, which was one-fifth of Alex's reward.

And Lina's reward was only one-tenth of Alex's. She only got 500 contribution points.

This reward was really a bit too little. The two of them also did not feel happy.

Although both of them were ranked in the top three of the Outer Sect, their strength was considered the top in the Outer Sect. However, they were far from being able to compare with Alex, so they weren't given special treatment by First Elder. Both of them only had their original rewards.

"First Elder, can I go to the Inner Court now?"

At this moment, Matt suddenly asked.

He had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage. He should be the most outstanding person in this year's competition. However, the result was unexpected.

Alex not only had he broken through to the Innate stage Level 4 in just a few months, but he had also comprehended the Sword Intent. Alex had even defeated him and won first place in the competition.

All the glory belonged to Alex.

Not many people paid attention to him anymore.

Because of so many unpleasant things, he felt that Outer Court had become a sad place for him, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He wanted to go to the Inner Court as soon as possible.

"Sure. You have already broken through to the Golden Core Stage. You have the right to enter the Inner Sect. You can go to the Outer Hall to register first, and then you can go through the relevant procedures."

First Elder nodded his head and said. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. He could also roughly guess what Matt was thinking.

After that, First Elder gave the top ten contestants 200 contribution points each.

When everything was done, First Elder then said in a clear voice: "The rewards for the competition have been distributed. The competition this time was also very exciting. But overall, many disciples have made considerable progress. This point is worth encouraging. I hope that all of you can keep improving, and breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible. Then, you can enter the Inner Sect and bring glory to the Floating Cloud Academy. That's all I want to say. You all can leave now."

After he finished speaking, a series of warm applause sounded out from the arena. After that, all the disciples turned around and left in groups.

Alex also left and headed straight for his courtyard.
