Chapter 149: Gains (1/2)

“What!?” Zheng Bin also grew intrigued. Without even thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards Nie Tian.

At this moment, dots of light flew out of the Heaven Gate pattern on Jia Peng’s hand.

Like fireflies, they quietly flew towards Zheng Bin.

Within a flash, each and every light dot disappeared into the Heaven Gate pattern on Zheng Bin’s hand.

At the same time, the Heaven Gate pattern on Jia Peng’s hand gradually turned dark and fuzzy, before it completely vanished.

The sudden change caused Nie Tian’s expression to flicker. He curiously looked at Zheng Bin.

Zheng Bin looked down at the light dots on the back of his hand and quietly counted them. After that, he said, his voice sounding a bit confused, “There are seven more light dots…”

He waved his arm and carefully examined it. He discovered that it seemed nothing had changed after those light dots had entered his Heaven Gate pattern.

Face filled with confusion, he contemplated over what had happened.

“Those light dots ought to have come from those who died.” Nie Tian said, eyes glittering with a profound light. “Six of them belonged to the people who Jia Peng killed, and the other dot belonged to Jia Peng himself.”

When he fought Jia Peng earlier, he noticed that there were six small dots of light in the Heaven Gate pattern on Jia Peng’s hand.

However, he didn’t have to time to read into it back then.

Zheng Bin killed Jia Peng by piercing through his body with the outsider’s tail bone. This must have caused all the light dots that Jia Peng had collected, and the one that belonged to Jia Peng himself, to fly into Zheng Bin’s hand.

“By killing another trial taker, one can collect their victim’s Heaven Gate key? What does this mean?”Zheng Bin was deeply puzzled.

Nie Tian shook his head and said, “I’m not quite sure either. However, I don’t think that’s a bad thing.”

With an intense look on his face, he continued, “From the look of it, those bastards from the outer realms must have already learned about the secrets of the Heaven Gate trial. Not long after they arrived, they already started hunting down other trial takers.

“They might not be after the treasures that their opponents carried. These light dots…could be what they truly want!

“Clearly the mechanism of the Heaven Gate trial encourages trial takers to kill each other!”

Nie Tian’s expression turned grim.

Zheng Bin’s heart shivered. “If that’s the case, anyone we meet in the future will very likely attack us, won’t they? It won’t matter whether we have enmities with each other or we know each other, right?”

“I’m afraid so.” Nie Tian sighed.

Zheng Bin hesitated for a while before saying, “You contributed the most to killing Jia Peng.At least four of these seven light dots should be yours. It’s just that I don’t know how to give them to you.”

After listening to Nie Tian’s explanation, Zheng Bin had a feeling that people who obtained more light dots would gain greater benefits in the future.

In order to kill Jia Peng, Nie Tian had used a Ice Blast Pearl and cast the strange magnetic field. He even suffered injuries during the fight.

He had only dealt the last strike when Jia Peng was about to use up his strength. He never thought that he would take all the benefits which should have been shared by the two of them.

He felt that it was somewhat unfair for Nie Tian.

Nie Tian smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, you deserve them. Without your final strike, not only would I have been unable to obtain those light dots, I could’ve even been killed by Jia Peng.

“You saved my life. Don’t blame yourself for it.”

Then he chuckled and said, “Come on, I’ll show you Jia Peng’s possessions!”

After Nie Tian finished speaking, one item after another flew out from Jia Peng’s bracelet of holding.

About ten seconds later, the icy ground between him and Zheng Bin was filled with treasures of all kinds.

There were spiritual materials, spirit stones, medicinal pills, as well as six spiritual tools of rather high ranks within the pile of treasures.

Zheng Bin’s expression flickered as he said with a sullen tone, “There is so much stuff here. This Pure Gold Blade belonged to a elder martial brother of mine.Some of these spiritual materials also came from the Mystic Mist sect…”
