As explained by the tournament leader when the tournament is about to start. The prizes to be awarded in grades 1 through 5 are...
For the Fifth Rank: Obtaining 20 Origin Refinement Pills as well as 1,000 Gold Coins.
Fourth Rank: Obtaining 25 Origin Refinement Pills as well as 1,500 Gold Coins.
Third Rank: Getting 3 Original Innate Pills and also 2,500 Gold Coins.

First Rank: Obtain 10 original Innate Pills, 5,000 Gold Coins, as well as get the chance to take the Huanglong Academy Examination.
Everyone's eyes looked towards Qing Chen, because the ticket to enroll in Huanglong Academy was a rare one and almost every student in the Qing Clan wanted the ticket.
When Qing Chen walked forward to receive the reward, he suddenly stopped his steps and slightly glanced to his side.
A grin appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared. After she walked downstairs, she immediately invited her brother to leave.
Only when Qing Chen sensed that there was no one around him anymore did he take the registration ticket at Huanglong Academy and give it to Qing Xin.
"Sister, what does this mean?" Qing Xin's expression became serious, she no longer used Chenchen's call to call her sister.
Qing Chen sighed and said, "I don't need it brother, I think brother needs this more than me.."
After the completion of his Clan tournament, Qing Chen decided to go wandering and increase his strength.
If he continued to be in the Qing Clan, it would slay his development as well as slow down his cultivation speed.
Black City was a small city located to the south of the Kiga Empire, even the strongest people who were there were only in the realm of Basic Warriors.
For Qing Chen, raising his cultivation level was not at all difficult as long as he had herbs as well as rare ingredients.
But if he used that way, his cultivation might increase but his overall strength and foundation would make it difficult to break through in the future.
Thus, it was useless to rush for one to increase his cultivation.
"T–But.." Qing Xin looked reluctant to accept the entrance ticket for the Yutian Academy examination.
Yutian Academy? It was a famous academy with the founder of the academy was the one who managed to break through the Martial King realm.
What is King Beladiri? An extremely powerful and honorable existence in the Kiga Empire. Even Emperor Kiga himself was only at the top of General Beladiri.
Thus, Yutian Academy was a school with many teachers as well as genius students. Only a fool would refuse to try to take the entrance examination of that academy.
And that person was currently standing right in front of him, Qing Xin did not know if Qing Chen was really stupid or toying with him.
"Sister, do you know how valuable this exam entrance ticket is?" Qing Xin spoke once more to try to convince Qing Chen.
"I know very well, but I have no interest in going there. So, because you don't want to be better off I just throw it away.." Qing Chen said as if he really wanted to throw away the ticket.
"Wait!!.." Embarrassedly, Qing Xin shouted trying to stop what Qing Chen was doing.
"B–Alright, I'll take it.. Thanks.." Qing Xin was quite embarrassed and tried to cover her flushed face with both hands.
She received the ticket and ran, "Hahh, having a sister like this turned out to be fun.."
Qing Chen immediately turned around and headed to his residence, it was located on a hillside. As the sun was about to set, a cold wind that was so piercing immediately blew.
Qing Chen who had arrived at his residence just a moment ago started walking and headed towards the kitchen to pick up a pill furnace.
He then took out the 10 Origin Innate Pills he had obtained from the Clan tournament. Although the current Qing Chen was still in the Refinement Realm, he could still purify the Origin Innate Pill.
But Kai did not swallow the 10 pills unless he squeezed them to pieces and put them back in the furnace.
In just two hours, sweat started pouring down Qing Chen's body.
As the pill furnace began to emit a bright light, a glittering golden-colored Pill began to appear along with the fragrant fragrance that filled the room.
"Ha Ha - Ha..." Qing Chen released control over the fire inside the furnace, his breathing was so heavy that Qing Chen was overusing his mental energy.
But his hard work paid off with a golden pill that came out from inside the furnace.
"One-star Spirit Pill.." Qing Chen muttered and began to sit down to take a lotus stance.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the Spirit Pill.
Spirit Pills! Unlike the cultivation Pill, the Spirit Pill was a type of pill that increased one's mental energy. Due to its rarity, the Spirit Pill was even valued at a million gold coins in the Kiga Empire.
In fact, the Pill was very common in Qing Chen's previous life.
When the pill started to enter Qing Chen's body. Streams of warmth that were so comfortable flowed from his head all over his body to a halt in his sea of consciousness.
The process is not painful but very comfortable. Only after the stream of warmth disappeared did Qing Chen open both of his eyes.
"Huhahh.. Now my mental energy has increased quite a lot." The selian of his body that was already soaked with sweat, a sticky black liquid filled the upper part of his body.
"Tomorrow..." Since Qing Chen could not stand the smell at all, he immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned his entire body.
Since he had just consumed a one-star Spirit Pill, now his mental strength was about the same as that of a Black Strip II Alchemist.
After cleaning himself up and coming out of the bathroom, Qing Chen decided to take a break.
Although he wants to continue training, but rest is also included in the training. If Qing Chen continued to practice nonstop, it would only damage his body.
Qing Chen threw his body onto the mattress and fell asleep instantly.
In the morning, the sunlight began to penetrate the window slit and hit Qing Chen's body, which was sound asleep on the mattress.
"Hoam.. It's morning, apparently, time to get ready..."
Qing Chen picked up some clothes as well as the items he needed during leaving the Qing Clan.
Since he currently had a Dimensional Ring, Qing Chen did not need a bag at all to put his luggage.
As he walked towards the door of the house, the sound of knocking on the door sounded..
Klackk!!
The door opened, the figure of the middle-aged man staring sadly at Qing Chen.
"Chen'er, are you really going?"
"Yes dad.."
Seeing the stern look on his son's face, Qing Yun sighed. "All right, but take care of yourself, son. The world out there isn't what you'd imagine.."
Qing Yun opened his arms wide and hugged his beloved son tightly.
It felt a stream of warmth in its heart, without Qing Chen noticing. His eyes began to shed a few tears..
The corner of his mouth slightly opened and he muttered softly, "Okay dad and thank you..."
