Early the next morning, Luo Jun and Mu Lanshi arrived at the Mercenary Guild to collect the reward for subjugating Blood Fang.
After evaluation, the resurrected Blood Fang had undoubtedly reached the strength of an S-rank monster. However, as a lone entity, the mission to subjugate it could only be rated A-rank—albeit the closest an A-rank mission could get to S-rank. Considering Blood Fang's ability to grow by devouring others, it might eventually become an individual S-rank threat. Taking everything into account, the guild set the reward at entry-level S-rank: a total of one thousand gold coins, two pieces of Epic Equipment, and one top-tier Skill Book Blind Box.

"Uh... all right..." Mu Lanshi knew her combat ability was lacking, so she accepted it.
As for the Skill
