Inside Luo Feng's palace on Bauhinia Island.

Knowing that the Ancestral God School was about to publicly bestow him a valuable, Luo Feng stayed on Bauhinia Island and waited patiently.

"Thunder Beast God is going to arrive here himself and bestow you a valuable?" True Yan Knight stood up abruptly and opened his eyes wide. "You're not kidding, are you?"

"How could I kid about this, teacher?" Luo Feng said. "It'll happen soon."

True Yan Knight stroked his hair and walked around the hall. He frowned and murmured, "If one of the eight beast gods actually arrives here himself and puts up such pageantry, he's at least going to give you a true treasure! But it doesn't feel right. Though the Ancestral God School is the greatest superpower in the universe, it won't just throw away a true treasure randomly like that."

"What do you mean by 'throw away,' teacher?" Luo Feng asked, smiling. "Zhu Chong Emperor was bestowed with two true treasures. As for me... It's okay for me to get at least one, right?"

True Yan Knight shook his head. "You're not the same as Zhu Chong Emperor."

"Not the same?" said Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was dazed. He thought the power he manifested was at Zhu Chong Emperor's level. Besides, both of them were sub-members of the Ancestral God School. What was the difference?

"Zhu Chong Emperor is a special life form," said True Yan Knight. "He doesn't belong to any other power, and hence, he belongs to the Ancestral God School completely! Whereas you are firstly a member of Hong Alliance, then a sub-member of the Ancestral God School. Bark Mirror Emperor, who is admitted by the Northern Territory Alliance, was never given any true treasures by the Ancestral God School."

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

"The Ancestral God School is the greatest power in the universe," True Yan Knight went on. "Though it doesn't fight for anything, it doesn't value the great beings of other powers as much as it does its own members. Bark Mirror Emperor is most loyal to the Northern Territory Alliance. You're most loyal to the Hong Alliance—the human race. Zhu Chong Emperor didn't join any other powers, so he is only loyal to Ancestral God School!" True Yan Knight looked at Luo Feng. "I've collected information on lots of exceptional heirs, and I found out that only those who are 100 percent loyal to the Ancestral God School can receive the best. If one belongs to another power, he won't be treated the same as those who show complete loyalty."

Luo Feng nodded. It made perfect sense.

"If pressed to choose between the Ancestral God School and the human race, there's no doubt that you'll stand with the humans," True Yan Knight said. "That's why the Ancestral God School won't grant you much, even if they want you to be part of them. However, they did invite Thunder Beast God to come personally. It would be insulting to him if he gave you a mere treasure. It's got to be a true treasure!" True Yan Knight paused, then added, "Which baffles me."

Luo Feng nodded. He would stand with the human race without a doubt! As for the Ancestral God School... He was indeed not faithful to it, even after knowing that they would bestow him a valuable. He stood in solidarity with the human race.

"For what it's worth," said True Yan Knight, looking at Luo Feng, "apparently, the Ancestral God School highly values you. In light of that, they're willing to give you a valuable even knowing that you're with the humans."

"I understand." Luo Feng nodded.

"Don't expect too much," True Yan Knight said. "Although I think it'll be a true treasure, the Ancestral God School surely won't be too generous."
