The Golem Mage Chapter 1114: Reward Ceremony 2.

From the 51st to the 100th position, the War God Mage Academy had four representatives, largely situated between the 80th and 100th ranks—Agnes, Knight, Sophia, and Katie.

"Those securing ranks 26 through 50 will be granted a higher priority for land selection than those previously mentioned. Additionally, they will receive thirty Tier 7 cultivation pills, ten Tier 7 healing pills, and one Tier 7 mental pill."

The head envoy continued with the prize announcements. Upon hearing their rewards, the mages within these ranks turned towards the group that had previously celebrated, a sense of superiority radiating from them.

Although an additional mental pill was not included, the increase in all other items highlighted the scarcity of such precious pills.

Within this ranking range, the War God Mage Academy had three members: Pale, Endrick, and Arthur.

"Proceeding further, individuals ranked from 11th to 25th will be awarded thirty Tier 7 cultivation pills, ten Tier 7 healing pills, two Tier 7 mental pills, and one Tier 8 cultivation pill. Furthermore, I must not forget to mention that the lands available for their selection are one tier higher than those offered to the previous group."

Another surge of applause erupted as anticipation built for the rewards bestowed upon the top ten, especially considering the already generous offerings to those ranked lower.

In this particular bracket, the War God Mage Academy proudly included three more students: Brandon at the 23rd position, while Lucas and Beatrice secured the 12th and 13th positions, respectively.

"Those ranked from 3rd to 10th will receive forty Tier 7 cultivation pills, fifteen Tier 7 healing pills, two Tier 7 mental pills, one Tier 8 cultivation pill, and the privilege to choose the type of high-grade Tier 7 spirit weapon they desire to be forged. They will also be entitled to land selection superior to those before them."

The moment the crowd learned of the head envoy's mention that they could personally select their Tier 7 spirit weapon, an unprecedented level of excitement swept through them.

Across the entirety of the Five Kingdoms, the number of individuals possessing Tier 7 spirit weapons was astonishingly low, less than a hundred. More than that, numerous family patriarchs, whose descendants were on the verge of receiving such esteemed rewards, began contemplating ways to acquire these genuine spirit weapons.

However, even they understood the impossibility of such a feat due to a single, critical reason: the rewards would only be conferred upon reaching the Origin World, where a formal assessment would take place.

Adding to this, the weapons would be meticulously crafted to complement the unique abilities of their descendants. Consequently, even if they somehow managed to seize these weapons, they would be incapable of unleashing the same magnitude of power as the intended recipient.

This was because the weapons would essentially be custom-made spirit weapons, tailored for individual proficiency.

"The third position holder will receive all the benefits granted to the previous rank, but with an enhanced land selection and five distinct Tier 6 spirit equipment components."

As the crowd erupted in cheers hearing Alec's reward, Alec himself appeared notably indifferent. He casually rested his head, giving the impression he was on the verge of sleep.

For someone like him, who was on the cusp of upgrading his Infernal Mantle Set to a Tier 6 set, a collection of assorted spirit equipment pieces would hardly appeal to his taste. He also harbored little excitement for a singular Tier 7 weapon, firmly believing his Bloody Changdao rivaled any Tier 7 weapon they might offer.

In fact, a daring notion was already forming in his mind: to request a recalculation of some of his rewards, seeking compensation in the form of corpses from Tier 7 or Tier 8 lifeforms.

Should his request be granted, he would readily accept even a slightly unfavorable exchange rate or a minor loss, wear­ing a smile all the while. Such was his profound lack of interest in certain offered items, as he considered obtaining pills a trivial matter.

The Head Envoy, with a flourish, directed his gaze toward the third VIP section after concluding the announcement of the third-place rewards.

He was keen to observe Alec's reaction, specifically that of the primitive mage he perceived Alec to be—a perception that strongly defined his view of the young cultivator.

Regrettably for the envoy, his desire for a specific reaction was unmet. Upon looking over, he found Alec appearing as though he were fast asleep.

"Let's observe how long you can maintain this nonchalant facade. Upon reaching the Origin Continent, you will undoubtedly recognize the limited scope of your understanding, like a frog confined within a well," the senior envoy mused internally before resuming his announcements.

"The second-place recipient will be awarded the identical rewards as the third place, with one distinct addition: the opportunity to craft an additional Tier 7 spirit equipment piece. This item need not be a weapon."

At that precise moment, the mages occupying the northern stands erupted in continuous cheers, as Dragov was also one of their own.

“And to conclude, the grand prize winner will receive: fifty Tier 7 cultivation pills, twenty Tier 7 healing pills, five Tier 7 mental pills, five Tier 8 cultivation pills, a complete custom-made Tier 6 equipment set, along with the unique opportunity to have five Tier 7 spirit weapons of their choosing meticulously forged.”

As soon as the head envoy concluded the enumeration of Takeda’s impending rewards, Alec’s eyes couldn’t help but flutter open.

While the attainment of such treasures was not beyond his capabilities, it became glaringly apparent to him that an excessive degree of partiality and overt preferential treatment was being dispensed.

It was evident they had perpetually intended for Takeda to secure the foremost position; the rewards undoubtedly aligned with him perfectly, the sole unforeseen circumstance being Alec’s unexpected triumph over him.

Yet, even in their desire to prevent Alec from claiming these spoils, a second-place designation might still have been feasible. However, the chasm in rewards between ranks was so immense that their decision was to instead grant that position to Dragov. They likely surmised the spectators wouldn't scrutinize the rewards of these two positions too intently, especially with Dragov occupying the second spot—he hadn't even reached the finals. This stratagem allowed them to evoke pity for Alec's supposed lack of talent in failing to secure second place, deftly diverting attention from his rightful claim.

Alec surmised that every detail had been meticulously orchestrated.

He simply rested his head back once more, passively awaiting the conclusion of the award ceremony, as he harbored significantly more critical matters demanding his attention.

Prior to the descent of night, the Blood Moon War was slated to commence. His presence was required back in Estonia City to bolster his clan’s efforts. At present, the city had not yet regained its former strength and therefore required every conceivable form of assistance until it could effectively contend with the forces from the second dimension.
