Chapter 314: Reward Secured! Academic Credits Doubled!

"S-class battle suit! 30-cubic-meter space ring! Grade-six protective talisman! All excellent items!"

"Who says otherwise? I'm already high-tier fourth-rank, and my space ring's capacity is still under one cubic meter."

After the host announced the rewards, many spectators wore expressions of envy.

Ordinary people were fine, merely feeling these items were precious, but for psychics, it was entirely different.

First, the S-class battle suit can drastically weaken the force of beast attacks hitting your body!

With such an S-class battle suit, even entering the wilderness zones becomes completely safe!

And the space ring is considered a luxury even among psychics.

After all, most items can simply be carried in tactical backpacks—there's no need to spend exorbitant prices on one.

Precisely because of this, all major equipment stores.

Space rings with a one-cubic-meter capacity are the best-selling type.

This 30-cubic-meter space ring? Many psychics have never even heard of it!

As for the final Grade-six protective talisman, it is the ultimate lifesaving artifact every psychic dreams of!

Know that protective talismans are produced solely in ancient civilization ruins.

These ancient ruins either require special access permits to enter.

Or they are controlled by martial academies, military legions, or guild factions.

Ordinary psychics struggle just to enter the ruins, let alone find a single protective talisman inside...

"Can't envy it. Simply can't envy it."

Many spectators silently sighed.

Of course,

they also knew these contestants were all the most outstanding young geniuses of Great Xia!

Especially Xu Jingming—he was nothing short of a prodigy!

The National Education Bureau granting rewards to accelerate these geniuses' development was only fitting.

"Next, please welcome the league champion, the Mo City Psychic University team, to the stage to receive their award!"

Amid the host's soaring voice,

a podium slowly rose on the stage.

Standing atop the podium was a massive trophy over sixty centimeters tall!!

Instructors and contestants from numerous universities stared longingly at the trophy.

The National University League Championship Trophy!

Forged entirely from SSS-class alloy, it cannot melt even under tens of thousands of degrees of heat!

Just crafting this trophy required full cooperation from an eighth-rank Grandmaster of elemental fire!

Not to mention the intricate bas-reliefs engraved on its surface—the national map of Great Xia!

And the glowing dots representing thousands of psychic universities across the map!

This entire trophy symbolizes the nation's highest evaluation of university education and is the supreme honor all universities crave!

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands in the crowd, Xu Jingming led the Mo University team onto the stage and lifted the trophy!

"Come on, look this way~~"

Photographers recorded the entire award ceremony, and cameramen captured group photos of everyone.

In the photo, Xu Jingming stood at the center, Kong Shi and others surrounding him, all smiling as they held up the trophy together.

And this photo would become the front-page headline of the next news cycle...

After receiving the trophy and taking the photo, the Mo University team members also received their personal rewards.

The S-class battle suits had been measured for height, bust, waist, and hip sizes immediately after Mo University won the team championship.

Custom-made according to each person's preferred style.

Xu Jingming's suit was pure black, with a specially crafted heart-guard mirror on the left chest.

Both arms had designated slots for attaching smart wristbands and smart arm guards.

The back featured simple buckles for securing weapons.

Of course, the suit's material was highly elastic—no matter how much he expanded into Thunder Form, it wouldn't tear.

In addition, Xu Jingming received a space ring and a Grade-six protective talisman.

The space ring looked no different from an ordinary ring; the Grade-six protective talisman, however, was far more refined—a shimmering necklace.

"The battle suit and space ring are useful, but the Grade-six protective talisman isn't much use to me.

After the league ends, I'll just give it to Senior Sister."

Xu Jingming glanced toward the inner spectator seats—Jiang Chu, the white-haired girl, had already arrived, seated beside Song Qiuyun.

"Next, please welcome the league runner-up, Qingjing Psychic University..."

After Xu Jingming and his team descended from the stage, the award ceremony continued.

Fortunately, Wang Qi and the others had been rushed back to the sports arena for treatment three days earlier after being eliminated by Xu Jingming.

Otherwise, they might not have even made it onto the stage today to receive their awards.

"First place in all three events! League champions! We did it!"

On the Mo University spectator side, Yang Zhentian, who had received the trophy from Xu Jingming, wore a joyful smile.

He then scanned the team and said approvingly:

"You all performed exceptionally well in this National University League! After application, the school has approved doubling your rewards!

First, Xu Jingming—as captain, your performance was flawless.

Without you, we never would have won the championship!

Therefore, the school is awarding you 30, 00 academic credits!"

Looking at Xu Jingming standing rigidly at the front, Yang Zhentian's eyes showed unhidden admiration.

This year, his wisest decision had been to take Xu Jingming as his disciple.

"Next is Kong Shi—as vice-captain, your performance was also outstanding..."

Following this, every member of the Mo University team received additional academic credits.

Kong Shi: 12, 00; other official team members: 10, 00; reserve members: 8, 00.

Compared to Xu Jingming's 30, 00, this seemed small.

But no one thought it unfair.

They knew that without Xu Jingming, they had zero chance of defeating the fierce Jing University team.

As Xu Jingming received his reward and prepared to sit down and watch the ceremony, Deputy Principal Ling Shuang called him over again.

"Principal." Xu Jingming bowed respectfully before Ling Shuang's seat.

Perhaps because the league was nearly over, Ling Shuang wasn't wearing her Mo University instructor's uniform today.

Instead, she wore a loose black ancient-style robe; the slender figure previously outlined by the tight uniform was now hidden.

But her pair of luminous jade feet were now exposed.

Sitting in her chair, Ling Shuang tilted her face slightly upward.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Jingming as he approached, her expression slightly surprised.

She had always felt Xu Jingming didn't seem like a nineteen-year-old—his demeanor was too composed.

Now, after ten days and nights of brutal combat, that composure had subtly gained a hint of sharpness.

Like a rising sun—full of vitality, making one want to look again and again.

Yet as an eighth-rank Grandmaster, Ling Shuang quickly controlled her reaction after her surprise.

She merely glanced at him casually, then softly opened her crimson lips:

"Jingming, you've worked hard in this league."

"Serving the school is no hardship."

Xu Jingming grinned, sounding relaxed.

He wasn't just flattering her.

The pressure from all three events of the National University League hadn't been too great.

Only the survival contest had truly tired him—but not because of others.

It was because he himself had wanted to harvest more psychic points, pushing himself through prolonged, high-intensity battles.
