Rewards and Concessions

Lin Fan had one more thing to do before he could formally receive any prizes at the Forbidden Tournament. He first had to walk onto the stage with Han Zhou, which ended when Han Zhou abruptly surrendered and walked off the stage.

He made a speech about how Lin Fan had thoroughly convinced him of his dominance with his battle with Grain Kan. The other races that remained were extremely pissed by these results, and immediately sensed fowl play. Han Zhou was someone that wanted power, domination, and above all to rule the east continent. They could tell that Han Zhou had made a calculated move when he agreed to Gin Ran's request to have the Elves join the humans in the upcoming war.

The war was obviously going to happen no matter what now that the Fan Sect had wiped out hundreds of Apotheosis Stage experts. The problem was that all the traps they had in wait wouldn't work if the elves helped defend the Fan Sect. They had been waiting for Gin Ran to leave in order to kill Lin Fan as quickly as possible. The longer they waited for Lin Fan, the stronger he could become at an exponential rate compared to any of their experts. He had countless treasures now as well as quiet a lot of prospects for his future with many Empyreans cozying up to Lin Fan.

The Radiant Palace had even come to visit only to be turned down by Lin Fan for the time being. He was along way from being a Demi-God and liked to keep every entryway open for entering. When it was finally time to receive prizes, Lin Fan immediately smiled as he looked at the options.

There was three prizes he wanted with his grand total of six points from winning three competitions. He wanted the [Golden Lightning Alchemist Cauldron], which was for people with systems. He wanted the [Elves Ancient Monster Vault] for the sheer fact that it was an extremely rare spatial treasure. He also wanted one treasure that was on the Heaven's Chest List called the [Nightmare Harmonic Flute], which caused all the people who heard it to experience bad dreams.

He had seen dreams as a great pathway for getting points for his Sadist System, and planned on hiring someone to go around and play the flute across the world. The [Nightmare Harmonic Flute] was special because the player could somewhat dictate the dreams of those who heard it. Lin Fan could imagine all the women who would wake up with legs shaking after they dreamed about him showing up in their sleep. Basically, just because it was called the [Nightmare Harmonic Flute] didn't mean that some people might enjoy the nightmare of him gently rocking the bed while the husband was right next to them in their sleep.

"I'll take the [Nightmare Harmonic Flute], the [Elves Ancient Monster Vault], and the [Golden Lightning Alchemist Cauldron]... However, since you gave up Han Zhou, do you think I can get one more treasure?"

"Are you kidding me? What about our team?" A dragon kin shouted with ire and rage.

"Yeah... What the hell? What's going to be left besides scraps if this man gets all the treasures?" the Jade Dragon Kin team huffed and puffed as two of their members finished shouting.

Han Zhou sighed and held up his hand, tossing a ring over to Lin Fan as he lowered his head.

"For beating me, I put in the three treasures you asked plus one more called the [Seed of Fate]. It will allow a fate tree to grow in your backyard, and help you with the law of time... Consider it a gift for letting me forfeit... I learned a hard lesson today Lin Fan..."

"I'm actually more scared of you then ever..." Lin Fan smiled and floated up into the air and over to Gin Ran's side. His two daughters were being swooned over and coddled as he sighed and watched the Empyrean crowd leave...

"I agreed to let my two daughters stay with you Lin Fan... However, your war is yours to fight..."

"The Empyrean Temples will now go up into the sky..." Gin Ran sighed before he suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Fan... "However, it's so nice meeting such a crazy bastard! You remind me of all the things I would never do, and do it so well!"

"I'm in your delicate hands father in law... However, if you squeeze to hard, I might die..." Lin Fan's skin turned ruddy before Gin Ran laughed and suddenly disappeared. The temples all over the world slowly shot up with him as the Empyreans all around seemed to disappear. The only three Empyreans that remained was Ja Ran, Na Ran, and Yan Ran.

Ja Ran looked like a frightened pig as Lin Fan appeared in front of his eyes and handed him a glass of water. He'd been in the Silent World for five days, and had experienced the most horrifying things... He looked at Lin Fan and cried before he ran to him and hugged him as well. Lin Fan couldn't take all the hugging and had to reach over for Na Ran and Yan Ran to help stifle some of the Yang energy.

He smiled and turned towards the Fan Sect as dozens of High Elves began to float around it with large, bright shields surrounding their bodies...

"The Fan Sect shall be protected by the High Elves top ten Demi-Gods until you're done with these three beautiful girls..." Han Zhou brought out three girls in chains that were attenuated and thin. They were wearing white dresses with torn shirts and charred skin with abrasions in several places.

Princess Mane immediately ran to them and took off her shirt, revealing a white bra to the remaining dragon kin as she put her shirt on her sisters back. Su Fan also took off her shirt revealing her milky white skin and odd tan line that seemed to have Lin Fan's handprint from when he was working in the blacksmith shop.

Lin Fan was at a loss of words of what to say, but sighed as he looked at Han Zhou and offered him a handshake.

"I'll be your ally, until you make me your enemy..."

"I'll be your enemy, until you accept me as your friend..." Han Zhou retorted before he smiled and turned around to leave... Lin Fan sighed and walked up to the three girls who were cold and shivering and wrapped them in his arms. These three Night Queens needed a few days before he'd ask them to do anything...

"Let's take you to your new home... I promise to be gentle with you girls every night until you decide to bless me with your bodies if you want..."

"He gets what he wants too much..." Mimi Fan sighed and grabbed her fathers hand... "However, maybe it's good that some men get what they want... right Chicken Man?"

"That's right... Now... I feel like we left some lose ends some where..." Lin Fan sighed and saw a thousand man army gathering in the sky... "Oh right... The war..."
