Chapter 108 – Exit (1/2)

Chapter 108 – Exit

(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the fifth and the final chapter for the day. Hoof.

This chapter also marks the end of the third volume.)

Li Xuan Feng’s team must have robbed a lot of strong man, and Bi Fan’s team counted one hundred and fifty three Yin Yang pouches from the plunder. Majority of these pouches were filled with the bodies of the Devil’s Race, while the others were filled with other kinds of riches.

However, the most precious item of then all, was the Abyss Dragon’s nucleus; in fact, it was priceless.

Wang Zhong, Lone Leaf, and Blue Dragon, stared at the nucleus, as they held their breaths.

If they hadn’t obtained the Jungle Python’s eggs, then they may not have been as anxious as they were at present.

But now, in the future, they were going to have a Jungle Python as a pet. And once they were able to provide their pet with a nucleus to feed on, then their pet would evolve a lot faster; not to mention, that its strength would also advance as it evolves.

“I will not be participating in the competition for the Abyss Dragon’s nucleus, so you guys decide on how it will be assigned.” Bi Fan said.

The Chimera had already swallowed the Nucleus which they had obtained from the Jungle Python; so naturally, Bi Fan was a little embarrassed to contest for another one.

Wang Zhong and the other two discussed amongst themselves, and came to an agreement, that they decide the winner on the basis of luck. However, the winner wouldn’t get anything else from the loot, while the winner’s share would be divided between the other two.

Bi Fan was the referee. He took out three identical wooden pieces, but only marked a sign on one of them. The person, who gets the marked wooden stick, gets the Nucleus.

The lottery began, and the three contenders were quite nervous. Their lips continued to move in silent prayers.

“So, let’s see who’s in luck today.” Bi Fan laughed.

The three of them humbly declined to take the first chance for a while, but then eventually, Lone Leaf stepped up.

Lone Leaf picked out a stick, and carefully looked at it: “Blank!” suddenly, his expression changed to a very depressed one.

Wang Zhong was next, but returned empty handed, just like Lone Leaf.

Blue Dragon didn’t need to draw out the last stick; he had already won the contest. He almost yelled out in excitement.

“It’s mine! The Nucleus is mine!” Blue Dragon’s smile was extending from one ear to the other; literally.

The biggest prize had gone to Blue Dragon, so to say that the two weren’t jealous, wouldn’t be true, but still both, Lone Leaf and Wang Zhong, were happy for their friend.

After this, division of the remaining items was a lot easier. The bodily armors and weapons were divided by Bi Fan as usual.

As for the bodies of the Devil’s Race and the Yin Yang pouches, they used a points system which they had developed along the way. Bi Fan had the least amount of points, since he had taken most of Li Xuan Feng’s material, which was the best, so he only got one fifth of the remaining bounty.

Whereas, the remaining, four-fifth of the bounty, was equally divided between, Wang Zhong and Lone Leaf.

“This trip has been so rewarding, now we’ll have plenty on money to support our practice.” Lone Leaf was extremely excited.

He was really thanking his stars that he had decided to befriend Bi Fan, otherwise he would have never been able to procure so much wealth in such a short time, let alone increase his strength to its present level.

Lone Leaf’s strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds, and it wasn’t going to be long, before he would reach his target; the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer.

As long as he was successfully able to reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer, Lone Leaf could use the Ogre Flower petal he owned, and could easily break into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.

In this world, people below of the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, were usual regarded as ordinary folk, while practitioners who were either in the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer, or higher, were regarded as strong.

The Jiu Yu Da Sect, especially, would only consider ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer disciples to be formal disciples of the Sect, and all others would only get the status of outside disciples (Neimen disciples), unless the person in question was the son or daughter of an elder.

Once a person becomes a formal disciple, he is able to enjoy a very specialized treatment, and experiences a great enhancement in their social status.

Lone Leaf’s short term goal was to reach the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ level, so he could be indicted into his Sect as a formal disciple.

Now that his target was within his reach, he was obviously quite excited: “Brother Bi Fan, lets continue to hunt the Devil’s Race.”

“Of course, but as soon as you reach the peak of the ‘transformation’ layer, we will immediately exit the Abyss.” Bi Fan said: “We are carrying a lot of wealth on our hands, and if word gets out, then I’m pretty sure that we’d attract more people than the Stone Giant did.”

“Haha, that’s certain.” Blue Dragon laughed.
