Chapter 112.1 : Rewards!

Time flies by swiftly.

Kumoko and Yaya eagerly anticipate the outcome.

Soon, the truth will be revealed.

The Golden List live broadcast room is about to announce the second position on the beauty list.

Ahem!

A figure emerges on the screen, possessing a slender frame, flawless proportions, a captivating aura, and an imposing presence.

In that moment, recognition dawns upon everyone.

It's Fox Demon Yaya!

"Haha! Sister Yaya, you've claimed second place!" Kumoko exclaims with excitement.

For Sister Yaya to secure second place implies she's actually first!

"Congratulations, Sister Kumoko!" Yaya concedes with a smile.

Yasao chimes in, "What about you both? Each of you has ascended to the top of the list, earning incredible treasures that would stir envy and resentment in countless hearts, yet you remain unsatisfied."

[Tsunade: So, the fox demon Yaya snags second place. Is the first place occupied by Kumoko?]

[Terumi Mei: It's got to be Kumoko!]

[Haruno Sakura: I'm so envious. I wish I could clinch first place too.]

[Yamanaka Ino: Sakura, with that massive forehead of yours, you still dream of first place? Forget about it! There's no hope for you in this lifetime!]

In no time, the first position on the beauty list is revealed.

On the screen, the image of Kumoko materializes, its beautiful and endearing visage capable of bewitching all who gaze upon it. Although not the first encounter with this sight, after awakening the devil's blood within, her allure and charm have ascended to unparalleled heights.

Such beauty is otherworldly, a bewitching allure that few can resist, drawing all into its enchanting grasp.

[First place on the beauty list: Kumoko

Kumoko is overwhelmed with excitement, embracing Yasao tightly.

In the Golden List live broadcast room, congratulations pour in for Kumoko.

[Tsunade: Congratulations to Kumoko!]

[Terumi Mei: Well done, Kumoko!]

[Garaga: Congratulations to Kumoko!

[Beerus: Congratulations, Kumoko!]

[Sun Wukong: Congratulations, Kumoko!]

[Sage Shima: Kumoko has brought honor to us in the Summoning world, surpassing humans and claiming the top spot on the beauty list! Haha! Humans have always deemed themselves the epitome of perfection, but they've been bested by our Summoning beasts. Isn't it delightful?"

[Terumi Mei: But you Summoning beasts have taken on human forms to win first place!)

[Sage Shima: Regardless, the top spot belongs to our Summoning beasts, or rather, the top four spots belong to Summoning beasts!]

[Terumi Mei: It's not your victory to boast about!]

[Tsunade: Looking forward to the rewards! This is my first time in the top ten!)

[Terumi Mei: It's also my first time in the top ten. I hope for good rewards too!]

Soon, the rewards for the first place on the beauty list were announced.

Hum!

Two reward items appeared successively on the screen.

The first reward item is a red spar.

[Heart of Evolution: Unconditionally enables a creature to complete evolution, also effective on divine beasts.]

The second item is no ordinary demon pill.

(Intermediate Demon God Pill: Crafted from the blood of the top Demon God and various potions, greatly enhances the Demon King's power, also effective on Demon Gods, and significantly boosts physique!)

Both the Intermediate Demon God Pill and the Heart of Evolution hold immense value.

Yasao examined these treasures and began to analyze: "The Intermediate Demon God Pill is impressive. Upon refinement, it can elevate the Demon King's power to the current Ultimate level, likely on par with the top Six Paths level powerhouse. You may even surpass Ōtsutsuki Kaguya! However, the Heart of Evolution suits you better. With it, you could evolve into a true demon species. Your strength will skyrocket, akin to the Intermediate Demon God Pill's enhancement, but with faster progression in the future. Each realm's limit will increase substantially, making the gap between the top Six Paths level and yourself significant!"

"Master, I'll choose the Heart of Evolution!" Kumoko decided.

Then, Kumoko promptly retrieved the Heart of Evolution from the live broadcast room.

The Heart of Evolution was in Kumoko's hands now.

Without hesitation, she consumed the Heart of Evolution, initiating the evolution.

Boom!

The energy from the Heart of Evolution erupted, transforming Kumoko's body.

Her bloodline had already been elevated to the Demon God level, easing the process of evolution. Once fully transformed into a Demon God species, her strength would naturally surge.

At Kumoko's current rate of evolution, it would take merely a few days to complete the transformation into a demon species.

Thus, Yasao didn't fret about Kumoko's situation. He set up a barrier, allowing her to evolve peacefully within.

At this moment, the announcement for the reward of second place on the beauty list was made.

This honor belonged to Yaya.

Consequently, Yaya was filled with anticipation.

Soon, two reward options appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.

The first reward was a Rank Four Golden Pill:

[Rank Four Golden Pill: One of the rare elixirs, it significantly enhances one's Chakra and fortifies the physique. Additionally, it extends lifespan by 300 years and possesses wound-healing properties...]

The second reward was an ice lotus:

[Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus: A celestial spirit with profound effects on enhancing ice cultivation. It augments ice abilities, greatly improves cultivation, and enhances Senjutsu Chakra...]

"Master, what should I choose? The Rank Four Golden Pill is valuable, but the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus seems equally enticing!" 

Yaya hesitated and turned to Yasao for advice.

Yasao suggested, "Opt for the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus. Even with a Golden Pill, ascending to the immortal realm would be beyond your reach. The Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus, however, offers remarkable benefits. In fact, its strength-enhancing potential surpasses that of the Golden Pill. Once fully refined, it should propel you to the pinnacle of the Six Paths level."

"Then I'll follow the master's counsel and select the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus!" Yaya decided.

Buzz!

Yaya claimed the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lotus from the live broadcast room and proceeded to seclude herself for its refinement.

Upon emerging from seclusion, her power would undoubtedly skyrocket.

Following this, the reward for third place on the beauty list was disclosed, with the honor falling to Honghong this time.

"I hope for a worthy treasure too!" Honghong anticipated eagerly.

Buzz!

Two treasures materialized in the live broadcast room in succession. The first was the Bloodline Fruit:

[Bloodline Fruit: Significantly enhances one's bloodline and is particularly effective for top-tier bloodlines.]

The second treasure was Immortal Pond Water:

[Immortal Pond Water: Transforms the mortal body into an immortal one, prolonging lifespan and enhancing cultivation capabilities...]

The mention of the Bloodline Fruit stirred memories of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who once chose such a treasure.

As Immortal Pond Water made its debut, it marked a significant moment.

Uncertain of the true value of these two treasures, Honghong sought guidance from Yasao.

"Master, which treasure should I choose?" Hong Hong inquired.

"Opt for the Bloodline Fruit," Yasao advised. "For a human cultivator, Immortal Pond Water might be the choice, but being a fox demon, enhancing your bloodline will yield greater benefits. While Immortal Pond Water offers assistance, it pales in comparison to the potential gains from enhancing your bloodline."

"I understand, Master," Honghong nodded.

Without delay, she plucked the Bloodline Fruit and consumed it in one gulp, initiating the refinement of its energy. Her bloodline surged, steadily enhancing within her.

Upon complete refinement, her strength would see a significant boost.

However, in terms of sheer worth, the Bloodline Fruit couldn't rival the top-ranking treasures.

The announcement for the fourth place in the beauty list followed, with Rong Rong up next.

Rong Rong, too, anticipated this moment, quietly observing the live broadcast.

Eventually, her rewards were displayed on the screen, unveiling two items sequentially.
