The Scripture Pavilion was undoubtedly one of the places best preserved by Qiupo Academy during this Beast Tide. Because it housed all the academy's cultivation manuals, a powerful grand array had been set up around it, keeping the Beast Tide at bay. It had thus become a sanctuary for many, saving their lives. In front of the pavilion, Qiuyun and a group of elders stood straight as bamboo, rooted to the ground.
Just as an elder finished taking attendance, Qiuyun addressed the twenty-eight people before him. "Everyone, I am Dean Qiuyun. Through the investigation of our elders, you have made outstanding contributions in resisting this Beast Tide. It is fair to say that without you, many people in the academy would not be alive today. On behalf of those surviving students, I thank you all for your desperate battle. I will grant you corresponding rewards, and at the same time, I will report this to Qiupo Academy to request honors for you!"
"Wow!" As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding students burst into exclamation. Those twenty-eight people instantly became the center of attention, with gazes of envy and jealousy hailing down on them like they cost nothing. The rewards were simply too generous; leaving aside the dean's personal reward, the mere credit at Qiupo Academy was enough to bring glory to one's ancestors and would serve as a massive stepping stone for anyone going to Qiupo Academy in the future.
