Wang Ningxi took out an IOU draft already filled out, with numerous complex entries written on it.

He coaxed Artifact Spirit Aipan, saying: "You just need to leave a consciousness imprint here, indicating that the reward couldn't be given due to insufficient items in the prize pool, and it counts as you owe us. If we can't find Shangfeng, we have the right to use the academy's assets for offsets. We will record the entire process with a Sky Mechanism Recording Disk as evidence. Do you understand?"

This was also Wang Shouzhe's intention.

If the prize pool is depleted, it wouldn't hurt to replenish it with something else. After all, the good things in the Officer Training Academy are not just in the prize pool; he had been eyeing those hardware facilities for quite some time.

"Understood..."

Under Wang Ningxi's coaxing, Artifact Spirit Aipan eventually signed the IOU.

But after signing, she was a bit stupefied.

She was just an artifact spirit, how could she become a debtor? Also, if the academy's assets are used for offsets, what would be used for offsetting? Could she, as the academy's artifact spirit, also be offset?

While Artifact Spirit Aipan was anxious, the Wang family continued their "wool-gathering" operation.

This time, it was Wang Shouzhe's eldest daughter, the Little Saint Master of Lingyun Holy Ground, Wang Liyao, who was dispatched.

According to the standard procedure, Wang Liyao naturally first went to absorb the Talent Improvement Liquid in Wang Shouzhe's Carry-on Cave Mansion to enhance her bloodline talent.

During this time, the Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon immediately entangled herself with Wang Anye.

Because after this round of assessment, Wang Anye had already replaced Wang Shouzhe in her mind as the ideal master~

"Young Master Anye, please accept me." The Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon, in a tone filled with pleading, put away her previous cold arrogance, "I promise to assist you in sweeping the world, never to abandon."

As for Wang Shouzhe, he was temporarily forgotten, as Anye was clearly more adept at Sword Dao and had advanced much further on the path, while Master Shouzhe was excellent but not skilled in Sword Dao~

Upon hearing Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon's words, Wang Anye's Half Immortal Sword "Wanci" suddenly felt immense pressure.

She had finally found a master with unlimited potential, only to be targeted by an Immortal Sword before even enjoying a few days of peace.

As for Wang Anye's "Epoch," the pressure on him was even greater.

He was merely at the Divine Spiritual Treasure level, although under the influence of Artifact Spirit "Ji Wuchen" and the nurture of the Sword Array Dual Ultimate Codex, along with Wang Anye's own Sword Dao insights, "Epoch" was gradually touching the edge of becoming a Dao-level Item, but still remained a Divine Spiritual Treasure.

He hadn't even fully accomplished his work when "Wanci" came in the front, and then in the back came "Rainbow Moon" pleading for refuge.

His status seemed destined to plummet~

"Ahem, Fairy Rainbow Moon." Wang Anye gracefully saluted Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon but refused her, "You belong to our family, Anye cannot be so selfish as to keep you alone."

"What? Are you saying anyone can use me for a bit?" Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon's expression became a bit complicated.

"Not exactly, at least they must have enough Valor Points to temporarily borrow you." Wang Anye explained, "After all, our family has only one Immortal Sword, using it collectively could maximize your utility, I hope you understand."

"No, no, that makes me seem too indiscreet." Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon hurriedly rejected, "It's truly unacceptable, let me recognize one master first, then lend to whoever deserves it, at least they should be peerless in Grade B, I don't just accept anyone."

However, only one incense stick of time passed before she abandoned Wang Anye and enthusiastically followed behind Wang Liyao, eagerly flattering and fawning, "Miss Yao Yao, I found that we match and resonate the best, please let me follow you."

It wasn't her fault for "forgetting the old for the new," the fact was Wang Liyao's Sword Dao talent surpassed even Wang Anye.

Back then, she was already a Sword Dao genius who comprehended Sword Intent in the early Spirit Platform Realm. It was just that she was mostly within the Academic Palace and Sacred Land, rarely taking action, so her fame hadn't spread to the outside world.

Moreover, she was significantly older than Wang Anye, with her cultivation having reached the Purple Abode Sixth Layer, and her enhanced bloodline talent to Heavenly girl Grade C had naturally elevated her Sword Dao prowess beyond Wang Anye.

Upon witnessing Wang Liyao's strength, Wang Anye was automatically demoted to the second tier by Rainbow Moon.

"Let's clear the stage first." Wang Liyao said calmly.

"Great, great!"

Immortal Sword Rainbow Moon immediately assisted Miss Liyao with great effort, smoothly securing first place again.

The highest score reached 94 points as a result!

By this time, Artifact Spirit Aipan had become numb, even the congratulatory and rewarding voice sounded mechanical and formulaic.

Wang Liyao had no choice. In the high-level prize pool, only four small bags of Immortal Spirit Stones were left. She took them all.

As for the super reward, naturally, Artifact Spirit Aipan had to write another IOU.

"Ruolan, you're the last one left." Wang Shouzhe, seeing both grand prize pools exhausted, still looked unsatisfied, "The items in the primary and intermediate prize pools should be taken too, don't hold back on the hero leaderboard, aim for the first place and let the academy owe us a bit more."

As Wang Shouzhe spoke, he brought Liu Ruolan back into the Carry-on Cave Mansion.

Originally, according to the plan, Liu Ruolan's setup was the same as everyone else's: one Extreme Modification Essence Version, and one Immortal Modification. If there was a chance to break through to Son of Heaven/Daughter of Heaven Grade C, one more Extreme Modification would be supplemented. But this time, Liu Ruolan refused to use the Extreme Modification Essence Version, intending to leave it for the children.
