“First, let us welcome class 56, placing fifth in this tournament!”
When the group of students led by Zhao Ziyun heard Lei Shan’s words, they had pleasant surprise on their faces . They had never expected to receive the additional rewards, as they had placed last during the final round .
“Although your class has the lowest number of points among the top five, everyone can see that all of you have performed splendidly . Placing last is not a disgrace, as you are all still the elites of your generation . ”
This was Lei Shan’s sincere acknowledgement of their strength . For Zhao Ziyun and his classmates, even if they received no other rewards, just these words were already a sufficient reward .
“As an acknowledgement to your strength, each of you will obtain a reward of five thousand Starnet Stones . ”
Some were happy with this reward while some were disappointed . This wasn’t exactly a small sum of money, but it wasn’t a large sum of money either . Then again, this was a pretty good reward for a fifth-place holder, and it was much better than getting no reward .
“Next, class 147 . Your class has the lowest number of students, yet you have performed exceedingly well . The indomitable spirit displayed by your class is something everything in the Starnet Academy can learn from . You will be rewarded with a one-use core of the violet grade . ”
When Yan Suzi and her classmates heard that, they were all elated . Although this was a one-use consumable, it was a violet-grade item and was quite valuable . Even if they decided to not use the reward themselves, they could still sell it for a large sum of money .

After giving Yan Suzi’s class their reward, Lei Shan looked at Luo Han’s class .
“Next, the third-place holder, class 121 . I have to admit that you guys have performed remarkably . The strength your class has demonstrated so far is absolutely sufficient for you to reach all the way to the top if you had appeared in any previous year instead . I hope all of you can learn from your mistakes – and to reach an even higher height . ”
Then, numerous puppet cores with a violet glow flew out of Lei Shan’s palm .
“You will also be rewarded with cores, but these cores are inheritable . Although I don’t know if this is what you want, I believe these cores will definitely be helpful for all of you . ”
Lei Shan’s words sent everyone into shock . The ten-plus violet cores he had rewarded were worth several dozen millions of Amethyst Coins . Everyone started looking forward to Lei Shan’s upcoming rewards . After all, if even the third place class members could get a violet core each, the rewards for the first- and second-place classes should be even better . It did not take long for everyone to have their curiosity answered .
“Class 21 students, in all honesty, you need to be thankful that you have a good class monitor . Hu Xian’er is definitely one of the top students even in the entirety of Starnet Academy . Without her, it would have been very hard for your class to get this result . ”
Lei Shan was ruthlessly honest to the point Bai Kai and the others felt embarrassed when they heard his comment .
“But do not be unduly humbled . I trust all of you have obtained sufficient experience from this tournament . Study hard in the academy . I look forward to the day all of you become an elite like your class monitor . ”

Then, numerous pieces of golden tickets flew towards the class 21 students .
“These are the vouchers for Ethereal Pavilion . With them, each of you can freely redeem one violet-grade puppet . You can even request a custom-made puppet . ”
That stunned everyone . They had already expected the second-place reward would be great, but this had still surpassed their expectations .
Each year, the Ethereal Pavilion would put some of these vouchers out for sale . And each year, they would sell not more than five hundred of these vouchers, with the five hundred vouchers being spread among their various branches throughout the continent .
Even getting one of these vouchers required immense luck . Yet Lei Shan was here giving away more than ten of them at once . The strength of the Starnet Academy was indeed something nobody could see through .
After seeing the vouchers, the spectators all held their breath in nervousness . Was there anything more valuable than Ethereal Pavilion’s limited vouchers? Nobody dared to imagine what the next reward would be . They were afraid that the thought of that would cause them so much envy they wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight .
“And next, let us move on to the people who have created a miracle today . ”
Finally, Lei Shan arrived before the Savage Class students .

“The Savage Class has existed as long as the Starnet Academy itself . This class has always been a class where the worst students congregated . Nearly two hundred batches of students have been recruited in the history of Starnet Academy, yet less than twenty Savage Class students have managed to successfully graduate . Today, all of you have breathed new life into the Savage Class . ”
Lei Shan seemed to have transformed into a radio, talking without stop .
“I don’t know what word I can use to describe your achievement . Therefore, I will give this to you as your reward for creating a miracle . ”
Sixteen golden badges appeared in Lei Shan’s palm . Everyone stopped breathing when they saw what he had in his palm .
Luo Xi had remained silent throughout the rewards, but she couldn’t help but cry out in alarm when she saw what Lei Shan had in his hand . “Principal, this—”
“Since I have already taken them out, are you guys trying to make me put them away?” Lei Shan interrupted Luo Xi with a slight smile on his face .
“Take it!” Xue Ying quickly poked Bai Xiaofei and whispered to him, her voice filled with surprise and anxiousness . She was afraid that Lei Shan would really put his rewards away . What he was rewarding was too precious: Starnet Brilliance!
This was an item that was unranked but known as a divine tool in the continent . Firstly, this item represented supreme glory in Starnet Academy . Since the establishment of Starnet Academy, only twenty-three Starnet Brilliances had been given out .
Without fail, every single person who had obtained one had eventually become a legend . Just by having this item, one would be able to do anything one wished in the continent . There were only ninety-nine Starnet Brilliances in existence, and this number would never increase .
The technology required to create this item was something that did not exist on the current continent . They had been personally obtained by Lei Shan from the vestige, and apart from Starnet Academy, no other organization had it .
In addition to being a sign of glory, the Starnet Brilliances also had a heaven-defying ability . An individual with a Starnet Brilliance would be able to activate a one-time absolute defense with a duration of three seconds . Take note on the fact that this was an absolute defense .
Immune to all barrier piercing abilities, this absolute defense was capable of blocking everything . Moreover, it was not a puppet . One only needed to have this item to use it, and there were no usage requirements . In short, this item was equivalent to an additional life .
This was something many people dreamed about having . And just like that, each Savage Class member had obtained one . It was understandable why everyone was so shocked . Of course, Bai Xiaofei was still unaware of this . But fortunately, he was a very obedient person .
“Thank you, grandpa . I will be accepting your reward,” Bai Xiaofei said cheerfully before he stepped forth and reached out to take the sixteen badges from Lei Shan’s hand . Everyone gazed at Bai Xiaofei with a look of greed . Sixteen Starnet Brilliances could even be used to buy an entire empire .
“Brat, if I find you using Starnet Brilliance to scam others, I will not let you off lightly!” Lei Shan quickly warned, suddenly thinking of something after Bai Xiaofei took the badges from him . Unknown to him, his warning had instead reminded Bai Xiaofei of what he could do .
I see…so I can do that with these…, thought Bai Xiaofei .
