Wuhun Xuanming Turtle? Bullshit, this is the sacred beast Xuanwu

Chapter 43: Xu Lingxiao is granted the title of Earl, rewarded with 100,000 gold soul coins, a mansion for the Earl, and a fief of 30,000 households

"Really?"

"What did you say?"

Yan Qin looked at the old dean in front of him, his eyes flickering.

Yan Qin was very annoyed when he was woken up from his sleep.

Today, he came to Tianhun Academy just to see the genius that Vina and Muxue had talked about.

But in the end, the genius didn't see it, and I wasted a day.

Being woken up at this time, Yan Qin's mood was really terrible.

However, there was no trace of unhappiness on Yan Qin's face now.

Even a little happy.

"That Xu Lingxiao has kept Your Majesty waiting for so long because he was trying to create the core of a second-level soul guide formation. Although he failed, but..."

The dean of Tianhun Academy said,

"But to be able to create a second-level soul guide core array after only two months of contact with soul guides is definitely a genius among geniuses."

"This……"

Yan Qin's expression changed.

He didn't know much about soul guides, but he could tell from the excited look of the Dean of Tianhun Academy that Xu Lingxiao was a genius.

"Get started!"

Yan Qin waved his hand, and several servants immediately prepared to set off.

Under the escort of a group of guards, Yan Qin got on a carriage and headed to the training ground.

……

Training Course.

A group of instructors were on the platform, checking and evaluating the semi-finished products made by everyone.

There are a total of seven semi-finished products on site, and two qualified candidates will be selected.

The selection of soul guides is relatively objective.

There is basically no big difference in the opinions of the mentors.

"The emperor has arrived!"

At this moment, a voice attracted everyone's attention.

Yan Qin, surrounded by a crowd, quickly walked onto the stage.

As the emperor of the Tianhun Empire, Yan Qin usually walked at a moderate pace, but now he looked hurried.

In front, the dean was walking even faster, almost running.

Because Yan Qin is here, the dean cannot choose to come here directly using a flying soul guide.

But he was also quite anxious at this moment.

"Long live the Emperor!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

The other students had already gone back by now.

Only the soldiers remained.

"Flat body."

Yan Qin did not go to the platform, but walked to the front of the training ground.

"How about it?"

Yan Qin glanced at the instructor on the stage and asked.

"Your Majesty, we have roughly selected the top two works. The rest will be left to the dean to decide."

The dean of studies stepped forward to answer.

"Well, thank you for going up to take a look, Dean."

"okay."

The dean's face was flushed, and he drove the flying soul guide device and flew to the platform.

After a rough look, the decision I made was the same as the mentors' selection results.

"The top three in this competition, qualified to go to Shrek Academy, are Xu Lingxiao, Qi Hao, and Xiao Linyuan!"

The dean announced the result quickly.

"Exit!"

As the dean spoke, three people walked out of the queue.

"it is good,"

Yan Qin nodded slightly.

He was different from the dean and quickly went through the names of the three people.

As an emperor, he still took certain care of everyone.

"You are all good men of my Tianhun Empire..."

Yan Qin made a brief opening speech and said some nice words.

Although they were all clichés, the others were still excited about being received by the emperor.

"Qi Hao, confer the title of Viscount, reward fifty thousand gold soul coins, and grant a mansion!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Yan Qin's reward, Qi Hao felt his body tremble and he fell to his knees on the ground, his body trembling.

"Xiao Linyuan, you are also granted the title of Viscount, a reward of 50,000 gold soul coins, and a mansion!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Linyuan also trembled and fell to his knees.

"Xu Lingxiao, seal..."

Yan Qin paused before continuing,

"Award him the title of Earl, a reward of 100,000 gold soul coins, a mansion for the Earl, a city of his choice, and a fief of 30,000 households."

what?
The moment they heard the news, everyone present trembled violently.

Even Xu Lingxiao couldn't help but raise his head, his heart moved. This...

This can be said to be a great honor.

Since the Xuanming Sect doesn't want their lineage, he can just open a separate page of the family tree in the Tianhun Empire.

After returning from Shrek Academy, I will bring my parents over as well.

"it is good,"

The dean also came up at this time.
"Our competition this time is officially over..."

After saying some polite words, he let everyone go back.

"Xu Lingxiao."

Xu Lingxiao was just about to leave when he heard Mu Xue calling him.

"what happened?"

Xu Lingxiao turned around and looked at Mu Xue.

"Oh, should I call you Earl Xu now?"

Mu Xue spoke with some sarcasm.

"I have to thank General Muxue for giving me this opportunity."

Xu Lingxiao smiled slightly and spoke.

"This is all your own congratulations. I'm afraid Father has already gone to bed because you got out of bed just to give you a reward."

Mu Xue suddenly became serious and spoke seriously,
"The earldom granted to you by the Emperor is an unprecedented honor."

Knighthood.

This is the most precious of all rewards.

Even the title of Viscount is far from being comparable to 100,000 gold soul coins.

Not to mention, he is Xu Lingxiao's earl.

As long as one obtains the title, it can be passed down from generation to generation. In other words, as long as the Tianhun Empire does not disappear, Xu Lingxiao's lineage will always be supported by the Tianhun Empire.

What's more, there is the closure of the city and the fief of 30,000 households!

Lock down the city.

In other words, Xu Lingxiao is now considered a frontier official of the Tianhun Empire, and has the power of life and death over a city.

There is also a fief of 30,000 households.

This was additional income in addition to the empire's support.

This means that Xu Lingxiao can enjoy the tax and labor income of 3 households.

In modern times, he would have become a big landlord.

Therefore, no matter which empire it was, the awarding of titles was very strict.

Of course Xu Lingxiao knew what Mu Xue meant.

Smile and express your opinion.
"General Muxue knows my origins, so he should also know that I will never return to the Douling Empire."

"From now on, the Tianhun Empire will be my home, Xu Lingxiao."

"Hahaha, good!"

Mu Xue laughed loudly when she heard this.

"How about this general sending someone secretly into the Douling Empire tomorrow to bring Earl Xu's parents to the Earl's Mansion?"

The title of Earl is not a sign of respect, but a reminder.

"In that case, thank you very much, General."

Xu Lingxiao nodded.

He knew the other meaning behind Mu Xue's behavior.

No matter what, he is not from the Tianhun Empire.

The Tianhun Empire spent such a huge price to send him to Shrek Academy.

Of course you have to keep something in reserve.

"I'll take my leave now."

Xu Lingxiao said this and said goodbye to Mu Xue.

"Ling Xiao."

However, before he had taken a few steps, he saw Vina again.

And next to Vina was Long Aotian.

"Ling Xiao, this is my fiancé, Long Aotian."

Vina introduced Long Aotian to Xu Lingxiao, and then said,

"I didn't expect that you have such a strong talent in soul guides."

Xu Lingxiao looked at Long Aotian standing beside him.

Long Aotian is worthy of being the one who got the template of the protagonist. He is indeed quite majestic and radiant just by standing there.

It’s a pity that what happened later was also very tragic.

"Princess Vina,"

Xu Lingxiao withdrew his gaze from Long Aotian and looked at Vina and said softly,

"It's time for the Benti Sect to try to change."

"The development of soul guides is an inevitable trend. If you don't want to be crushed by the wheels of the times, you have no choice but to accept it and join them."

In the original novel, Princess Vina did make changes, and even spent a lot of money to purchase soul-guided weapons from Huo Yuhao, but it was too late by then.

In fact, even now, compared with the Sun-Moon Empire, the Sky Soul Empire's research in soul guidance is too weak.

"This……"

Princess Vina's expression flickered as she looked at Long Aotian beside her.

The expressions of both of them were not very good.
