Xu Nan never expected that the totem fragments would have such a wonderful use!

Although it's not a true resurrection, the Poison Dragon Abake can truly exist in the Azure Dreamland, which can be considered a way of making up for Xu Nan's previous regrets.

He chose to confirm!

Honestly, reviving a lord-level monster using totem fragments consumes quite a lot of Prayer Power. Xu Nan's Prayer Power, which he obtained through the students' recommendations, was almost entirely depleted in an instant.

In fact, totem fragments have other uses. Xu Nan did some research and found that by collecting a large number of totem fragments of the same attribute, one can obtain the power of the laws within the fragments.

What specific skills he can acquire depends on the attributes of the monsters he kills.

It sounds pretty exciting, like playing a mobile game, but Xu Nan doesn't believe he'll encounter a second poisonous dragon.

In conclusion, with the Prayer Power and the blessing of Totem God, the Poison Dragon Abake was reborn in Xu Nan's Divinity Village!

The azure light slowly dissipated, outlining the shape of a young venomous dragon.

Xu Nan squinted at the bewildered venomous dragon and fell into deep thought.

When he resurrected the Poison Dragon, he had a certain authority to modify its new body.

It's not hard to see from the Poison Dragon's memories that he was very resistant to the toxicity in his body and was also very frustrated. So Xu Nan removed the poison glands from his body without hesitation, leaving only a small amount.

In this way, there's no need to worry about him polluting the Divinity Village.

Abak has been reborn. His consciousness is still hazy, but Xu Nan knows that soon he will regain most of his memories.

By then, Xu Nan should also be able to obtain more clues about the mastermind behind Five Yang Lake.

As for now, he has already reminded Zhang Jian, whether the latter believes him or not is another matter.

"Wow? I didn't expect her to be so cute back then, no wonder the Old Apothecary took her home..."

Xu Nan gently teased the newborn venomous dragon, a thought flashing through her mind, "Since it has reformed and become a dragon again, it needs a new name!"

"Hmm, you're quite a figure!"

"Hmm, your head looks a lot like a chicken's!"

Your previous name was Abak!

"Then your name is..."

Xu Nan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her with great interest from the unseen world. Instantly, she extinguished the uncivilized name.

He saw a silver line on the back of the poisonous dragon and changed his tune:

"I'll call you A Yin!"

"It might grow into a Silver Dragon someday!"

Xu Nan teased A Yin with his chest puffed out. A Yin seemed to understand Xu Nan's words and happily exhaled a small amount of pink mist, as if to show that he was now a lewd dragon.

The poison dragon, whose toxins were removed by Xu Nan, indeed had little combat power. It would probably just be a mascot in the Divinity Village.

As for using his aphrodisiac mist to do some unorthodox things, Xu Nan disdains it!

There's definitely no "it smells so good!" warning here!

Two days later, on Moyang Lake and Thousand Sand Island, tourist boats came and went in a hurry.

With less than two hours left before the end of the Training Camp, most of the practical course participants came here to attend the final awards ceremony!

After all, this is Thousand Rays Society's first public event, so it's important to see it through to the end!

Theoretically, another martial arts tournament would have been held, but considering the strength of the champion team led by Xu Nan, the organizers wisely canceled the competition and directly launched the commendation ceremony.

You can't be the only one in the limelight! You have to consider everyone else's feelings.

Overall, both Training Camp performed terribly in this practical course. If the instructors hadn't personally taken charge, it would probably have taken another three to five months to clear out the monsters on the edge of Five Yang Lake... Most of the trainees' monster-killing speed wasn't even as fast as the monsters' self-reproduction!

Fortunately, this was, after all, Training Camp, and most of the trainees were tempered by the practical training. Since it was real combat, there were casualties. Despite the thorough considerations of the Thousand Rays Society, three students still died in the Training Camp, which caused a huge uproar in society.

No wonder Xu Nan always felt that Zhang Jian's hairline had receded even further when they saw him... Being a leader isn't easy.

After learning that the three students had drowned while playing in the lake, Xu Nan looked at Tang Haibao with some lingering fear. Fortunately, the boy had a strong constitution and could still live optimistically despite being used by Xu Nan so many times. He was sure to achieve great things in the future!

After talking with Zhang Jian, Xu Nan's concerns about Thousand Rays Society were greatly reduced.

He certainly didn't completely believe Zhang Jian's words, but he at least believed part of them: at least for now, the Thousand Rays Society was still composed of a group of ambitious and passionate people. Under the main theme of the invasion of the Pro World, the higher-ups of the Thousand Rays Society were still quite tolerant of their subordinates. Their vision and perspective allowed their subordinates to keep secrets. As long as they didn't commit any fundamental problems, they shouldn't be subject to double-regulation or kicked out of the system...

These days, a secure job is still quite desirable!

Xu Nan came to the commendation ceremony with the intention of seeing it through to the end, but as soon as she got off the ship, she was surrounded by a group of reporters!

He glanced around and saw that this group seemed to be interviewing whoever they could get their hands on. They probably didn't even know what was so interesting about this Training Camp for interviews, so the questions they asked were all sorts of bizarre things.

"Having heard that a student has drowned, does this reflect Thousand Rays Society's lack of concern?"

No, even if Thousand Rays Society values this, can everyone wear a life jacket while fighting monsters?

"According to reports, it's rampant in the Training Camp that instructors are offering boosting services for others. Can you tell us a little about the inside story?"

Sorry, the boosting boss doesn't want to answer this question.

"Are you Teacher Xu, who narrowly missed out on second place? How would you rate your students' performance in the Training Camp?"

Shouting "666" is okay, but as for the rest, I've forgotten.

In order to get rid of these people, Xu Nan had no choice but to compromise. "Excuse me, we need to go to the commendation ceremony!"

"Alright, alright, I'll only answer one question, one question. You, the one over there with glasses, it's you!"

A young man, his face beaming with delight, handed over the microphone amidst the envious glances of his colleagues:

"It is understood that Teacher Zhang from the City North Training Camp and Teacher Lin from the City East Training Camp are still leading their teams to hunt down the last of the monsters. They are currently the two squadrons with the highest known scores, and the two sides are neck and neck. What do you think of their actions?"

Xu Nan pondered for a moment and said:

"They're probably arguing over who's second!"

"I didn't expect that second place would be so tempting."

He was somewhat emotional.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and Xu Nan took the opportunity to slip away with the students.

[Activity Points +5000, from xxx]

Xu Nan was somewhat surprised. These people were very well-informed; how did they find out about the neighbor so quickly?

There's no way around it; the credit for killing the Poison Dragon is far greater than that of any of those monsters.

Through these reporters and with the help of highly developed social media, Xu Nan successfully racked up another wave of points!

He figured that was about right; one should know when to stop, and not push the alchemy center too far.

So he decided to start a lottery.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized the monthly lottery option had disappeared!

They've disappeared!

Just as Xu Nan's powerful arm, perfect for writing essays, was about to lash out, a brand new notification arrived.

[Mr. Xu Nan, since your Activity Points have exceeded the value of all items in the Thirteenth Alchemy Center's activity warehouse, we request to skip the lottery and send you the prize directly. However, the number of prizes is too large. Would you like to use the moving service provided by Lost Paradise?]

Xu Nan certainly didn't need it; everyone knows how expensive the services offered by Lost Paradise are!

"No need, I'll come myself!"

He glanced at the awards ceremony. Well, he was just a mentor anyway, so showing up would be enough.

Zhang Jian had also told himself that since he was now part of the Special Ops Team, he should keep a low profile.

He seized the opportunity to slip away and ran straight to the Thirteenth Alchemy Center of Lost Paradise!

This was his second visit to the Low-Level Alchemy Center. The last time was due to a dispute, and he even encountered Mr. Luo Mang.

Honestly, the Thirteenth Alchemy Center is quite large, but these employees don't seem very energetic!

Led by a dedicated staff member, Xu Nan went to the warehouse by herself and started moving things directly!

First, there's the basic material: Goblin's Toenail Fungus. This stuff is a common material for casting curse spells and making cursed alchemical items. Although it's not very valuable, it adds up!

Then there are magical equipment, alchemy blueprints, and rare items...

Watching Xu Nan busily ransacking the house all by himself, the staff felt their hearts were bleeding. They unconsciously gathered around and silently watched Xu Nan.

Xu Nan emptied a warehouse, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Did these staff members know they were about to leave and come to see them off?

Although they had never met before, the camaraderie among the Ron Sorcerer truly warmed Xu Nan's heart!

He said with some emotion, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll come back to visit after I leave!"

Everyone shuddered, somewhat bewildered.

An elderly alchemist asked, "Mr. Xu Nan, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Nan chuckled and said, "I'm going to participate in Six-Nine Plan now! I probably won't be able to hire the Alchemy Center anymore."

Everyone's faces lit up with ecstatic joy!

Xu Nan also joined in the laughter. Although it felt like everyone was happy about different things, there was still a harmonious atmosphere.

While celebrating, Xu Nan took the opportunity to grab a few more pieces of equipment that weren't in the event warehouse and stuff them in, without anyone noticing.

Only Ms. Violet leaned over and asked, "Mr. Xu Nan, which department is in charge of Six-Nine Plan?"

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "Intermediate Alchemy Center, perhaps?"

Violet nodded. "It's alright, it's alright, we're Low-Level Alchemy Center."

"Etc..."

She suddenly remembered a man.

"Could this be a tragic fate?"

The kind-hearted Violet began to mourn for that man.

At that very moment, the man was celebrating his promotion by ordering himself a plate of Green-Skinned Lobster.

Poor Sean had no idea what was about to happen.

...!
