It should be noted that Chao Yang's performance in the Five-School League already demonstrated the strength of the Early-Stage Fifth Rank. After so much time has passed, coupled with the second burst of spiritual energy, he should have reached the Middle-Stage Fifth Rank at least.
In other words, the rule suppression that Chao Yang is currently experiencing is no weaker than his.
Given this, the fact that he still dared to come in shows just how resilient and courageous he is!
The ten-person team was sitting together, counting the number of Blood Crystal they had obtained so far.
"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen... twenty-seven, twenty-eight."
The teammate stopped counting here and looked up at the Chao Yang.
When he looked up, his face was bruised and swollen; he looked utterly disheveled.
The others weren't much better off; they had bruises on their faces and bodies as well.
Of them, Chao Yang was slightly better off.
"Boss, a full twenty-eight Blood Crystal! At the current market price, we've made a whopping two million eight hundred thousand in less than two hours!"
The teammate became more and more excited as he spoke, and the others also forgot about their own injuries and joined in the excitement.
Chao Yang frowned slightly. "Although we've gained a lot, we're not only injured, but also almost completely exhausted. If we accidentally stumble into a tribe, it'll be very difficult to escape unscathed."
"What's there to worry about? We have Blood Crystal, don't we?"
"Absolutely not!"
Chao Yang decisively rejected the proposal.
" The Ruins Species are much harder to kill than demonic beasts. We finally managed to get these Blood Crystal. We are all from Shenwu, the reserve force of Divine Wind Camp. These Blood Crystal should naturally be handed over to Divine Wind Camp as strategic material reserves. How can we just eat them casually? Just to restore our blood and energy? Don't you think that's a huge waste?"
His teammate lowered his head in shame. As a fellow student of Shenwu and a seed of the Divine Wind Camp, he felt that his awareness was far inferior to Chao Yang's.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment. Seeing this, one of the teammates cleared his throat.
"The boss is right. Let's not waste this hard-won Blood Crystal. Let's take the Body Restoration Pill to heal our injuries first."
"Yes, yes, yes," the others chimed in.
Someone quickly changed the subject, "Twenty-eight! And it's only been less than two hours. We're already in such a sorry state; the other teams must be in even worse shape."
"I think so too. I reckon we'll be the ones who benefit the most."
The teammates became increasingly proud as they spoke, and subconsciously raised their heads a little higher.
But Chao Yang spoke up at that moment, " Jiang Fan from Yuanwu has also entered."
Upon hearing Jiang Fan, everyone fell silent instantly, and at the same time, the image of chrysanthemums scattered all over the ground during the Five-School League flashed through their minds.
Apart from Chao Yang, almost everyone present fell for the trap and walked with a limp for several days.
It left a significant psychological scar.
" Jiang Fan quite powerful, but here he's suppressed by the spatial rules, so his strength is probably only a fraction of what it used to be."
"Don't forget his herd of Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros," Chao Yang reminded him.
"I heard that he was attacked by the Church of Justice in the Outer Wilderness Zone a while ago, barely surviving. The Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros is probably almost dead too."
"But Ye Qizhen is also in their team."
One sentence silenced everyone again.
Jiang Fan was already incredibly powerful, and then there's Ye Qizhen...
"I really don't understand why Ye Qizhen and Jiang Fan are so close. I tried everything to get close to Ye Qizhen before, and although he was gentle, he always gave off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length and was very difficult to approach."
"Perhaps..." Chao Yang pondered, and everyone looked at him, wondering if their captain really knew the truth that they didn't know.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting and gossiping, Chao Yang finally spoke.
"... Because of love."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if a beautiful melody was playing in their ears.
After recovering, they all opened their mouths wide and looked at their captain.
They never expected that their captain, who looked so upright and serious, would say such a thing.
"Holy shit!"
Jiang Fan, who was eavesdropping, blurted out a phrase from the national essence.
Ye Qizhen was standing right next to him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
What happened?
As soon as he finished asking the question, he saw Jiang Fan move aside, putting some distance between them.
What kind of reaction is this?
Why does he seem like he's poisonous?
"You--"
As soon as Ye Qizhen spoke, Jiang Fan moved aside again, widening the distance between them once more.
Looking into Jiang Fan's eyes again, Ye Qizhen seemed to understand something, and immediately jumped up and down.
"I have lived a life of integrity and uprightness, and I will never break my back because of external forces, so keep your filthy thoughts to yourself!"
These words were spoken with force and conviction.
only--
Jiang Fan once again distanced himself significantly from Lan Shengxue, almost pressing himself against her.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qizhen nearly lost her temper.
Lan Shengxue nodded to Jiang Fan, "You did the right thing."
"I think so too," Jiang Fan said.
The two of them sang in unison, Ye Qizhen felt that even if she had ten more mouths, it wouldn't make a difference.
Whatever, let the world end.
After the little farce, Jiang Fan felt it was more important to get down to business.
"Let's go, in that direction."
The ten temporary points given by the system must be used in person, so we have to go and meet the target in person first.
Ten minutes later, the two teams met up as expected.
Upon seeing Jiang Fan and his group, Chao Yang and the others showed obvious surprise.
It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears; we were just talking about them.
Huh?
After a moment of calm, they were surprised again.
They discovered that Jiang Fan and his companions had absolutely no injuries and showed no signs of fatigue.
Just like when they first came in.
Did they not encounter a single Ruins Species?
Or perhaps we only encountered one or two Ruins Species?
While they were wondering and speculating, Jiang Fan used all ten points he had bound to targets on them.
After using it, Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
I wonder how efficient they are at killing the Ruins Species.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan asked directly.
"How many Ruins Species have you killed?"
Coincidentally, Chao Yang and the others were just about to ask the same question.
"Twenty-eight!" a teammate said proudly.
As he spoke, he observed the reactions of the people opposite him, trying to see expressions of shock, envy, and jealousy on their faces.
There was no result.
That wasn't all; he even saw a hint of disdain on Jiang Fan's face, as if he was trying to hide it.
dislike?
Yes, it's Guoguo disdain!
Not only did he see this, but Chao Yang and the others also saw it.
It seems Jiang Fan and his group obtained more Blood Crystal than they did.
Only two hours had passed since they entered the door, and they still didn't believe it. Even if you have more Blood Crystal than them, how much more could you possibly have?
