The tea was soon served.

w.a.n.g Shengguo and the school leaders chatted casually with one another while w.a.n.g Teng sat at the side with a bored expression.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Princ.i.p.al Yu and the other leaders didn't put on their stern and fierce expressions this time. Instead, they were all smiling amiably and throwing all kinds of praises on w.a.n.g Teng as though they were free, which they were.

Incomparably talented, dignified-looking, promising future… They were commending him in all kinds of ways.

It was amazing how they could come up with so many phrases. They were indeed well educated.

After chatting about unrelated things for some time, Princ.i.p.al Yu turned and said to w.a.n.g Teng, “w.a.n.g Teng, have you decided which university you want to apply to?”

“We were just discussing this a moment ago,” w.a.n.g Shengguo smiled and said.

“I haven't made my decision yet.” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head.

“You can slowly think about it. With your results, you can choose any school in the country anyway.

“If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask the teachers in school. They have been in the education industry for many years, so they are experienced in applying for universities,” Princ.i.p.al Yu said kindly.

“Okay, I will. Thank you, princ.i.p.al,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.

“Oh right, do you still remember the rewards I mentioned the other time?” Princ.i.p.al Yu smiled and asked.

w.a.n.g Teng immediately got excited. He sn.i.g.g.e.red and replied, “Of course!”

“You little brat.” Princ.i.p.al Yu pointed at him and laughed. Then, he took out a few items and placed them on the table.

“Take a look at it. These are all for you.”

The items were laid out in a single row on the table.

There was a small black string pouch.

A small jade bottle.

And finally, a box that was slightly smaller than a palm.

w.a.n.g Teng studied all three of them.

Princ.i.p.al Yu smiled and said, “Open them and take a look.”

w.a.n.g Teng didn't act polite anymore. He opened the black pouch first. There were ten small crystals the size of a thumb inside, all glittering brightly.

These crystals were ice-blue, and they looked as if they were made by congregating natural ice crystals. They shone brightly under the lamp.

“These are energy stones!”

Princ.i.p.al Yu said, “I heard that you are an ice element martial warrior. I especially asked someone to find ten ice element yellow-rank low-cla.s.s energy stones for you. You can use them for your personal cultivation and other things.”

Ice element martial warrior.

w.a.n.g Shengguo and Li Xiumei exchanged glances when they heard this. They were puzzled.

Wasn't w.a.n.g Teng a fire element martial warrior?

But, this wasn't the time to probe further. They could only suppress their curiosity in their hearts.

“Princ.i.p.al, you're so thoughtful,” w.a.n.g Teng exclaimed uncontrollably.

Then, he opened the small jade bottle. Three dark blue pills rolled out from the bottle.

When these small pills landed on his palm, a cool and refres.h.i.+ng fragrance wafted into his nose and made him feel invigorated.

“This is ice spiritual dan. It's an ice element spiritual dan, and it's first-cla.s.s low-rank. It can help with your cultivation,” Princ.i.p.al Yu introduced the spiritual dan to him.

Another ice element!

w.a.n.g Teng felt that Princ.i.p.al Yu was an interesting guy. Once he knew that he was an ice element martial warrior, he immediately prepared all these ice element items useful for ice element martial warriors.

Although they were rewards, he more or less owed him a favor.

Princ.i.p.al Yu opened his mouth again. “If you're not in a hurry to use them, you can keep them in the jade bottle to prevent their effects from dissipating.”

w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He placed the three pills back into the small jade bottle.

The last one was the black box. This must be the mysterious gift Princ.i.p.al Yu was talking about. He wondered what was inside.

He was already satisfied with the first two rewards, so he couldn't help but look forward to the third reward.

This box was around the size of his palm. w.a.n.g Teng opened the box and noticed a pitch-black stone sitting in the middle.

A bone-piercing chill was exuding from the stone.

“What is this?” w.a.n.g Teng asked curiously.

“Dark ice stone!”

Princ.i.p.al Yu slowly said these three words, as if the dark ice stone was some precious treasure. A faint boastful aura could be felt from his expression.

Unfortunately, no one present had heard of this before. w.a.n.g Teng was also looking at him in a daze.

He was boasting to a bunch of people who didn't understand him at all!

Princ.i.p.al Yu smiled awkwardly and said, “This dark ice stone is an ice element heavenly treasure. I accidentally got hold of it. It can be used to forge weapons. Speaking about it, it's a real coincidence. You're an ice element martial warrior, so this is just right for you.”

“It's too small!” w.a.n.g Teng didn't know how precious the dark ice stone was, so he complained softly when he saw its small size.

“Cough, cough!”

Princ.i.p.al Yu coughed awkwardly. “I only have this small dark ice stone. It's indeed a little small, but you can supplement it with other materials. I'm sure that the quality of the weapon forged will increase exponentially.”

If this dark ice stone wasn't so small that it couldn't forge a complete weapon, it would be impossible to evaluate its value!

Princ.i.p.al Yu wouldn't have given it to other people either.

w.a.n.g Teng furrowed his brows. He felt that this item was quite useless.

Based on Princ.i.p.al Yu's statement, this stone was very precious. But, since it was small, its value was heavily discounted.

It couldn't be used to forge a complete weapon, and it might not be suitable to act as a supplement material.

After all, forging weapons wasn't just combining a bunch of different materials casually. You needed to melt the materials that complemented one another.

There might be conflicts between some materials, or their compatibility might not be high.

Especially for a rare material like the dark ice stone, finding highly compatible material with it was going to be a ha.s.sle.

When Princ.i.p.al Yu noticed w.a.n.g Teng's lack of reaction for a long time, he knew that he might not have liked the reward. Hence, he said, “If you don't want this dark ice stone, I can change it for you.”

w.a.n.g Teng smiled calmly. “I like it. I'll take this. There's no need to change.”

As he spoke, he kept the dark ice stone.

Looking at the two rewards, he could tell that Princ.i.p.al Yu had put much effort into this.

For a top scholar of the martial arts exam, the princ.i.p.al of Donghai No.1 High School had personally put in the effort to prepare these rewards that were suitable for him.

w.a.n.g Teng was very grateful.

Princ.i.p.al Yu immediately smiled happily when he saw w.a.n.g Teng accepting the gifts.

The rewards weren't just encouragement for the outstanding students. It was an investment too.

An investment in their future. Thus, if they achieved good results when they grew up, they would naturally repay their old school.

He had high hopes for w.a.n.g Teng. If w.a.n.g Teng didn't like the dark ice stone, the effects of these rewards would be heavily discounted.

You couldn't say that he was flattering a student even though he was the princ.i.p.al of Donghai No. 1. He just knew that if he missed such an outstanding student, he would regret it.

w.a.n.g Teng was already a martial warrior. His achievements in the future were unimaginable.

When the time came, if he was willing to give back to his old school, the repayment would exceed his rewards greatly.

“It's good that you like it. I have given my rewards. I will not be disturbing you anymore.” Princ.i.p.al Yu got up and prepared to leave.

“Princ.i.p.al Yu, fellow teachers, why don't you sit for a while longer?” w.a.n.g Shengguo urged them to stay.

“It's alright. Many things are waiting for me to settle in school,” Princ.i.p.al Yu said tactfully.

Thus, w.a.n.g Shengguo sent Princ.i.p.al Yu and the other leaders of the school, who came along, to the entrance. He watched as they drove their cars and left. His expression was a little complicated as he stood at the door.
