After averting his gaze from Severin, Oskar gathered his spiritual power and declared loudly, "I now declare the end of the sect tournament!"
Following his declaration, the tokens in everyone's hand rose to the air and flew toward Oskar. They transformed into small embers of spiritual light that soon disappeared.
Oskar then raised his hand and his robe billowed as he waved gently in the air. Thousands of fragrant pills and useful spiritual treasures streamed out from his palm as beams of light. They flew toward the hands of the disciples who secured a place in the thousands.
"Here is a Thoroughspirit Pill for those who managed to get into the top one thousand!" Oskar announced.
He then proceeded to distribute rewards for the top hundred participants, who were given Crystal Spring Pills and inferior-quality spiritual treasures. Having distributed them, he proceeded to reach for the top fifty people and called each person by name.
"Diane, Wuhlricht, Sheila, Sofia..." The reward for the top fifty consisted of two Crystal Spring Pills and mediocre-quality spiritual treasures. All of Severin's wives and Wuhlricht's group had entered the top 50, with Diane even making it into the top thirty.
The top ten participants received pills, spiritual treasures, and a manual of combat exercises and techniques. Shyam, who secured tenth place, was among those rewarded. In third place, Spencer received a Breakthrough Pill, a superior-quality spiritual treasure, and a book of Star-grade combat techniques.
Severin put them away and thanked Oskar. "Thank you for your generosity, sect leader!"
Oskar nodded appreciatively and communicated with Severin via his divine senses. "You've exceeded my expectations and secured first place in this tournament. I've now granted you the quota to Midland. With this token, you are allowed to bring with you twenty people to the Grandiuno Sacred Land. However, I would suggest that you hold it off until after the battle at the Starry Sky Battlespace next month, and after you've reached level five paragon. Midland is a place teeming with paragons, and you'll soon see that even royal paragons are a normal occurrence there. There, only supreme saints are considered to be truly strong. You'll also find that some of the sects have semi-divine beings and ancient monsters!"
Oskar paused and emphasized, "Victory in the tournament is no reason to be haughty. Meet me the First Mountain once you are back from the Starry Sky Battlespace. Prodigies from all thirteen of the Bleurealm's states would be present there, and it would be much more convenient for you to enter the Grandiuno Sacred Land in the future if you can establish good connections with some of their prodigies."
