Chapter 304: Kumoko's Reward!
Ye Tian consecutively claimed three rewards, leaving others speechless. After all, he monopolized the top three positions on the Weapon Lists, making the subsequent three rewards less surprising.
The rewards in the lower ranks rarely contained treasures capable of significantly boosting Ye Tian's already Saint-level strength. Initially, many people had already started to forget about Ye Tian amidst the numerous rewards, but these three consecutive appearances brought him back to everyone's mind.
[Sun Wukong]: Luckily, these three ranked rewards aren't particularly great. For someone of Ye Tian's caliber, they likely hold little value. I wonder if he has disciples like other Saints and whether he'll bestow these less useful rewards upon them?
[Taiyi Zhenren]: For a powerhouse of Ye Tian's level, accepting disciples seems natural. However, in the Primordial World, neither he nor any potential disciples have ever left any trace of information. Perhaps he simply doesn't have disciples!
[Nezha]: Whether he takes disciples or not doesn't matter. Even if he keeps the rewards for himself, it's his choice!
[Erlang Shen]: While these rewards may not benefit someone of his strength, there's no harm in holding onto them. He doesn't have to hand them out to others!
Ye Tian's repeated appearances on the rankings greatly boosted his reputation. Though previously low-profile, no one could deny his overwhelming strength.
The fact that only a few of Ye Tian's weapons appeared on the rankings wasn't due to a lack of weapons but because his current level of power simply didn't require many. Moreover, upon arriving in the Primordial World, his weapon-forging capabilities had improved significantly, and he had acquired many rare materials. If he truly wished to forge weapons, he could likely dominate most of the rankings.
However, forging weapons required immense time and effort, and Ye Tian prioritized cultivation over such tasks. As a result, even if he obtained rewards for forging weapons, they were of limited use to him.
The ranking rewards continued to be announced. When the 78th place was revealed, it piqued everyone's interest because it was awarded to someone entirely unknown—a newcomer with a surprisingly capable weapon.
After all, any weapon listed in the rankings must be noteworthy in the Primordial World, boasting either immense power or unique abilities.
[Weapon Lists, 78th Place Reward: Myriad Venom Spiderweb]
[Special Artifact: Once deployed, it can entangle enemies. Those caught will be immobilized and have their spiritual energy gradually drained.]
This artifact lacked offensive capabilities but excelled in restraining opponents. If someone was ensnared by it, escape would be nearly impossible unless their power far exceeded Kumoko's. However, such cases were unlikely; someone of that strength wouldn't be captured by Kumoko in the first place.
Thus, this artifact was destined to be a supportive tool rather than a weapon for direct combat.
Kumoko was more than satisfied. The fact that Ye Tian's bestowed weapon made it into the rankings already highlighted its significance. The ranking reward further enhanced her strength. The additional reward delighted her, even if its direct utility was limited.
Kumoko was an obscure figure in the Primordial World, unknown to almost everyone. Few could have imagined she was one of Ye Tian's servants. Because of the rankings, she was finally revealed to the world. However, receiving such a valuable reward made her feel that stepping into the spotlight wasn't too bad.
While Ye Tian had many servants, few received such rewards. Kumoko's reappearance sparked curiosity among other powerhouses, though they didn't pay her much attention due to the relatively low rank of her reward and its limited power.
Unless it was a highly specialized reward perfectly suited to its recipient, such items rarely provided substantial power boosts. Lower-ranked rewards, while not useless, held little significance for Saints or Quasi-Saints but were valuable treasures for cultivators below that level.
This disparity reflected the dominance of Saints and Quasi-Saints on the Weapon Lists. The majority of listed weapons belonged to them, with Saints alone claiming almost half of the top positions. Their dominance ensured they reaped the greatest rewards.
Quasi-Saints held about 20% of the rankings, while Ye Tian and his servants occupied just over 10%. However, Ye Tian's rewards for securing the top three spots far outstripped the combined value of the rest.
The remaining 10% belonged to scattered powerhouses in the Primordial World, most of whom ranked lower, with only a few appearing near the top. This further highlighted the disparity in wealth and power, as even a casually discarded artifact from a Saint would be unattainable for most.
Hongjun's weapons, for instance, were few in number. Although some ranked highly, the later rewards had little to do with him. This was because he had distributed most of his treasures at the Fenbao Cliff, leaving himself with only a few exceptional and powerful artifacts.
[Chiyou]: So, it's this mysterious Kumoko again. It seems her luck isn't too great, as her reward is quite ordinary. While it has some uses, it likely won't significantly enhance her power!
[Bull Demon King]: Being ranked and receiving a reward is already commendable. A reward in the seventies is far better than us, who didn't even make the list!
[Lu Ya]: Don't underestimate us! The strength of the demon race is still considerable. As for this Kumoko, with her unknown origins, even with a mediocre weapon and a ranking reward, she's unlikely to possess immense power!
Lu Ya, confident in his strength, showed no fear of Kumoko. On the contrary, he seemed eager to meet her in person.
