I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

A brief sentence.

Yet it stirred up a tempestuous wave across the entire court.

The Great Xia Empire, though named as an Empire, due to the existence of Martial Artists, Sects, and the Mysterious races of the heavens...

The power of the Emperor was not as centralized as the countries Xu Lingjun knew from his past life.

However, this did not mean that the Emperor's power was completely hollowed out.

In fact…

The Emperor's power was still vast enough to overshadow the entire immense Great Xia Empire.

With a single word, the mountains and rivers rise, with one move, the realm can be destroyed.

And a competent emperor naturally played this game of implications with great skill.

Just like now…

He entrusted the duty of conferring titles, a task that should have belonged exclusively to the Emperor, to his eldest daughter Han Qingxue.

Especially as his son was present below.

This action, harboring hidden meanings, left everyone astounded...

Obviously, no one could have imagined that the struggle for the throne, likely to unfold with Han Yun City entering the palace, was prematurely nipped in the bud by Your Majesty?

Lin Diguang's eyes were cold and he stared fiercely at the ground, not daring to let anyone notice his gaze.

He had poured countless efforts into nurturing Han Yun City… having finally reached this point, was Your Majesty warning me?

As for the ministers below.

There were both joy and shock.

Some were even restless, thinking that the grand Imperial Capital was about to undergo a change?

Or was this merely a spontaneous decision by Your Majesty, merely probing the thoughts of the ministers?

Although Han Xu Yang was not versed in Martial Arts, he had ruled for over forty years with diligence, even without major achievements, he managed the Great Xia Empire in an orderly manner.

In such a state of internal and external troubles.

Being able to maintain the status quo was already an incredible skill.

Especially after years of diligent governance, once the next Emperor ascended the throne, he could easily become a wise ruler on his foundation.

He had already laid the groundwork...

And now, it seemed he wanted to pass his burden to his daughter.

"Yes, thank you, Father Emperor, for allowing your child to be close to my younger brother."

Han Qingxue replied with a face full of smiles, her fair and delicate face filled with joy.

She ignored the turbulent atmosphere below, taking a well-prepared report from Han Xu Yang's hand.

Walked down the platform.

Her gaze swept over Han Yun City, her eyes showing a delighted smile.

Only then did she look towards the nominal front-runner Xu Lingjun.

She chuckled and said, "Xu Lingjun, is that right?"

Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Han Qingxue smiled and said, "No need to be so formal, actually there's already a connection between us."

Xu Lingjun asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Back during the Dragon Gate Examination. Didn't you find your scholarship application was approved rather quickly?"

Han Qingxue laughed and said, "I approved it, just by looking at your face, I knew you must be a good person, and I also checked, no matter where you are, you often go out to do good deeds, helping elderly ladies cross the street, guiding those lost young girls… so I directly approved it for you. At the time, even though I was merely an assistant at the Department of Education, maybe because of my status, once I approved, the review process was particularly swift."

She added in a slightly reproachful tone: "But while it's fine that you enjoy doing good deeds, just make sure to never help those elementary students with their homework again, that's not a good thing."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"There's no need to be so reserved, since you're around the same age as Xiaocheng, and Master Liu also taught me a lot in the past, as you're his favored student, just call me Sister Qingxue like he does."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Ah, still so reserved."

Han Qingxue sighed wistfully and said, "Alright, I understand it's your first time here, it's natural to be nervous, so let's get down to business first."

She turned to the first page of the booklet in her hand.

She took out a small, golden badge emitting light from the folder, and spoke solemnly: "Xu Lingjun, stand at attention!"

Xu Lingjun stood up straight, his chest upright.

Han Qingxue took the badge, walked up to Xu Lingjun, and gently pinned it to his chest.

Due to her height, which was noticeably shorter than Xu Lingjun who had already fully grown, she had to stand on tiptoe... This simple action made her noble aura dissipate considerably, making her seem like a kind neighborly elder sister helping him adjust his collar.

She looked up, noticing Xu Lingjun's gaze was on her.

Even though Han Qingxue had been assisting her father in handling state affairs since she was fourteen and had experience in various departments, by this point, her experience in governing was no less than those seasoned ministers in their fifties or sixties. Yet, when faced with Xu Lingjun's face that made her heart flutter, she couldn't help but blush slightly.

After adjusting the badge to be straight, she stepped back a few paces and solemnly said, "Xu Lingjun, from today onwards, you are a Colonel of our Great Xia Empire, enjoying all the benefits accorded to military officers, and also assuming all the responsibilities shouldered by them. For our Great Xia, for our Blue Star, to jointly resist the mysterious races of the heavens, do you agree?"

Xu Lingjun nodded earnestly, unable to suppress a slight surge of excitement in his heart.

Am I becoming an officer just like that?

Just kidding... I can't fight, nor can I sing, how am I becoming a Colonel?

If that's the case, when I truly join the Polar Star Battlefield, wouldn't I be starting out as a Deputy Commander?

He said seriously, "I agree."

Han Qingxue blushed even more, feeling as if it were a wedding ceremony.

Not that she was in love, but rather, Xu Lingjun's face was too powerfully charming up close.

She continued solemnly, "You previously mentioned that you wanted rare and precious resources. Your request is too vague, so we couldn't exactly determine what you need. Therefore, we have compiled a list of the valuable resources from the National Treasury that meet your broad criteria, and you may freely choose one!"

Saying this, she handed a paper to Xu Lingjun.

All over it were densely written various spirit grass, medicinal plants, elixirs, and spirit liquids.

The sheer variety was overwhelming.

Xu Lingjun merely glanced over it briefly, and his eyes instantly lit up. It could only be said that the Great Xia Empire's collection was indeed extensive, with many items even more precious than the Barrier-Breaking Pill he previously got from Marquis Xia Wu!

"Once you've made your choice, take this token directly to the National Treasury to collect it. Remember to decide before the court adjourns!"

Han Qingxue turned her head to look at Sun Lingli, smiling, "What a pretty young girl. I didn't expect such strength at such a young age."

Sun Lingli shyly said, "Your Highness is flattering me, Your Highness is also very beautiful."

"You're very well-behaved."

Han Qingxue first stepped forward to pin a badge on her, then smiled and took a sheathed short sword from the hand of her attendant, saying, "Your request was for a weapon that suits you. For this weapon, we specially visited Mr. Feng Zhichen, the founder of the Wind Fist Style, to gain an in-depth understanding of the Martial Tao you practice. Then, we asked a master craftsman to personally forge the weapon, refining it for a complete seven days to produce this B-level weapon. Explore its mysteries thoroughly when you return!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Sun Lingli was overjoyed, holding the short sword with a beaming smile.

Only then did Han Qingxue turn to the others, beginning to distribute the awards one by one.

Aside from the first two whose treasures were specified, no other ranks were granted to the rest, and the treasures were directly issued by the Empire.

Yet their value might not be lesser than those of Xu Lingjun and Sun Lingli, even if they might not be needful... If sold, they could still be quite profitable.

Thus, everyone was all smiles.

Guo Zheng smiled so widely that his mouth couldn't close. He had always been quite self-conscious, feeling that he'd gradually fall behind his two childhood friends.

But now he had unexpectedly become a focus of the Empire's attention. Has the Great Xia Empire really fallen to such a state?

No...

It's because the elder sister-in-law is too impressive.

Guo Zheng had secretly resolved in his heart that aside from the elder sister-in-law, he'd never respect another sister-in-law in his life.

The award distribution proceeded smoothly.

Except when giving an award to Han Yun City, where Han Qingxue seemed to lose control slightly, giving her long-unseen brother a strong hug, everything else went smoothly.

Half an hour later.

All the students had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Only then did Han Qingxue return and softly said, "Father, your servant has completed the task you assigned."

"Hmm, very well done."

Han Xu Yang chuckled, "Every time I see you all, I truly feel old and useless, my energy is failing. How long has it been, and I'm already feeling exhausted... Does anyone else have matters to report? If not, I'm planning to host a banquet to entertain these future heroes."

This was merely a polite formality.

Everyone knew that the Emperor of the Great Xia deliberately gathered these twenty people here to win favor, and naturally, he wanted to get closer to them, showing the magnanimity of a king. Who would dare spoil his plans?

These people are the future pillars of the nation, naturally placed at the forefront.

But at this moment, Lin Diguang directly stood up, loudly proclaimed, "Your Majesty, this old minister has a matter to report!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The crowd of officials fell silent once more.
