Wushan Town.

A shabby little courtyard.

"Hmm..."

No one knew how long had passed.

Chen Feng let out a muffled groan, then slowly opened his eyes.

The next moment!

The memories from before he had lost consciousness surfaced in Chen Feng's mind!

A massive boulder the size of a house had crashed down not far in front of him!

The shockwave from the boulder alone had sent him flying and knocked him unconscious!

But!

What was going on now?

Hadn't he passed out in the courtyard?

Who had carried him inside and even placed him on his wooden bed?

"Chen Feng!"

"You brat, you're finally awake!"

Just then.

A man's voice sounded beside Chen Feng's ear.

Chen Feng turned his eyes slightly toward the source of the voice!

It was Lorry, Hillman's deputy and one of Wushan Town's assistant instructors!

"Instructor Lorry!"

"Thank you for saving me!"

After recognizing the man.

Chen Feng forced a smile and softly thanked him.

"Don't!"

"I didn't save you!"

"You were just lucky!"

"I only moved you from the courtyard into the house!"

Hearing Chen Feng's thanks.

Lorry waved his hand and spoke indifferently.

After the Saint Realm battle ended!

Hogg ordered the losses of Wushan Town to be counted!

When Lorry passed Chen Feng's small courtyard, he happened to see the unconscious Chen Feng!

Naturally, Lorry knew Chen Feng, an eleven-year-old Level-Three Warrior!

Without another word, he checked Chen Feng's condition!

After confirming that Chen Feng was merely unconscious and otherwise unharmed!

Lorry carried Chen Feng into the house so he could rest better!

"Now that you're awake!"

"I'll be leaving first. I still need to check on other places!"

Chen Feng had just been about to speak.

When Lorry's voice sounded again.

After saying that.

Without waiting for Chen Feng to respond.

Lorry turned and left Chen Feng's little courtyard.

"Heh!"

"No matter what!"

"I survived, at least!"

After Lorry left.

Chen Feng slowly sat up and gave a somewhat self-mocking laugh.

Before true powerhouses!

A tiny Level-Three Warrior like him was no different from an ant!

The aftershocks from the battle between two Saint Realm warriors had nearly taken his life!

The feeling of having his life beyond his own control made Chen Feng feel miserable!

At the same time!

It made Chen Feng yearn for strength even more!

"Hmm?"

A few minutes later.

Chen Feng's gaze fell upon the moonlight in the corner!

What was going on?

His little courtyard might have been shabby!

But moonlight couldn't possibly shine directly into his room through the roof, could it?

Chen Feng slowly raised his head!

Well then!

A fist-sized hole had somehow appeared in the previously intact roof!

The moonlight was shining directly into Chen Feng's room through that hole!

"Sigh..."

Seeing this.

Chen Feng could not help letting out a sigh!

Luckily, it had not rained!

Otherwise, he would have been drenched like a drowned rat!

"Forget it!"

"I'll sleep first!"

"I'll fix the roof after I wake up!"

After lamenting for a while.

Chen Feng lay back down on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

The next day.

Chen Feng did not go to the square to train.

Yesterday's Saint Realm battle had greatly affected Wushan Town!

A large number of houses had collapsed!

Several hundred people had even been swept away by the battle's aftershocks!

Early that morning, Hillman ran everywhere to inform everyone that morning training would be suspended for three days!

Therefore!

Chen Feng found some wooden boards and prepared to repair his roof!

It had to be said!

Chen Feng's luck was quite good!

Other than the hole in the roof!

His little courtyard had suffered no other damage!

"Eh?"

Standing on the roof!

Just as he was about to nail down the boards.

Chen Feng saw the situation inside his room through the hole before him!

In the corner that had been illuminated by moonlight the previous night, there was now a small pit about half a meter wide!

Most importantly!

Under the sunlight!

Chen Feng could clearly see that something inside the pit seemed to be reflecting light!

"What is that?"

Chen Feng threw down the wooden boards and jumped off the roof.

Then.

Chen Feng entered the room and came to the pit in the corner.

He lay on the ground and reached into the pit!

Very quickly!

He pulled out a fist-sized black crystal from within the pit!

"This..."

"Is this a Magic Core?"

Looking at the black crystal in his hand.

Chen Feng was briefly stunned, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

Although Wushan Town was only a small town!

Mercenary groups occasionally passed through the area around Wushan Town!

A year ago.

Chen Feng had seen what a Magic Core looked like in the hands of a mercenary!

Although the black crystal in his hand differed somewhat from that mercenary's!

Chen Feng was certain that this black crystal was a Magic Core!

"System!"

"What level Magic Core is this?"

"How many Energy Points can it be exchanged for?"

To confirm his guess.

Chen Feng directly questioned the system in his mind.

"Ding~"

"Level Nine Shadow Mouse Magic Core!"

"Can be exchanged for 1,000,000 Energy Points!"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking.

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

A Level-Three Magic Core could be exchanged for 1 Energy Point!

A Level-Four Magic Core could be exchanged for 10 Energy Points!

A Level-Five Magic Core could be exchanged for 100 Energy Points!

A Level-Six Magic Core could be exchanged for 1,000 Energy Points!

A Level-Seven Magic Core could be exchanged for 10,000 Energy Points!

A Level-Eight Magic Core could be exchanged for 100,000 Energy Points!

A Level-Nine Magic Core could be exchanged for 1,000,000 Energy Points!

A Saint Realm Magic Core could be exchanged for 10,000,000 Energy Points!

"Hiss..."

"A Level Nine Magic Core?"

Hearing the system's answer.

Chen Feng was stunned once again!

How could a Level Nine Magic Core have appeared near Wushan Town?

Had it been accidentally lost by a past powerhouse of the Baruch Clan?

The Baruch Clan of the past had produced many Dragonblood Warriors, most of whom were Saint Realm warriors!

It would have been easy for them to kill Level Nine magical beasts!

If this Level Nine Magic Core had been lost by a past powerhouse of the Baruch Clan, it would naturally make perfect sense!

"No!"

"That's not right!"

"A Level Nine Shadow Mouse!"

"Th-this is Bebe's mother's Magic Core!"

Suddenly.

A bold thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind.

It had been mentioned in the original novel.

The battle between the two Saint Realm experts in Wushan Town had been over a Level Nine Shadow Mouse!

The Starry Sky Sword Saint Dillon had been defeated!

Yet he had been unwilling to hand over the Level Nine Shadow Mouse!

If he could not have it, then he would destroy it!

Right before the Saint Realm mage Rudy, he used Battle Qi to make the Level Nine Shadow Mouse explode!

And this Level Nine Shadow Mouse was God-Slaying Rat Bebe's mother!

From beginning to end!

The book never mentioned where Bebe's mother's Magic Core had gone!

Had Starry Sky Sword Saint Dillon taken it?

That seemed unlikely!

Although a Level Nine Magic Core was precious!

Dillon was a Saint Realm warrior; he probably wouldn't care about a Level Nine Magic Core!

What was more!

Bebe's mother had exploded, and the blast had resounded across heaven and earth!

One could imagine!

The energy shockwave must have been terrifying!

Even Dillon might not have been able to catch the Magic Core as it shot away!

Under such circumstances!

It really was possible that Bebe's mother's Magic Core had landed in his house!

Forget it!

No need to think so much!

Even if it really is Bebe's mother's Magic Core!

If it fell into my hands, then it belongs to me!

System!

Convert this Magic Core into Energy Points!
