Chapter 470: Chapter 357 Spoils of War! Ownership of the Other Shore Flower! _1
When Zheng Cheng and the others came out, what they saw was a chaotic temporary camp and the joy on everyone’s faces.
Strangely, Zhao Yunxiao was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Sister Yunxiao?”
They curiously approached Captain Chen, who still seemed somewhat shaken but also wore an expression of great joy.
“I have some good news to share. It turns out that there was an Epic Level powerhouse from the Human Race living in seclusion here. Just as you entered the secret realm, he successfully made a breakthrough and became one of the Epic Level powerhouses of Blue Star’s Xia Country!”
“But due to the special nature of his identity, Xiao Zhao has already accompanied him to report to the Nightwatcher headquarters, leaving me to wait for you here.”
“An Epic Level powerhouse? Really!?”
“An Epic Level powerhouse! It’s such a pity we didn’t encounter him…”
“There’s actually a Level 79 powerhouse living in seclusion on Mount Mang? Could it be a Gui Dao powerhouse?”
“It’s not a Gui Dao powerhouse but an Ascetic of the support side.”
The words of Chen Feng deeply surprised Zhou Xinyu and his companions.
“An Ascetic of the support side? To have a support Professionist reach Epic level, that’s even more rare indeed!”
“An Epic Level ascetic on the support side could play a far greater role on the battlefield against foreign races than a regular main combat Epic Level powerhouse. I wonder who the predecessor could be?”
The group was utterly astonished, while Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue shared a knowing smile.
Zhou Xinyu and the others were unaware of the identity of the Epic Level powerhouse, but Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue knew very well.
A thought suddenly struck Zheng Cheng, and he asked, “Captain Chen, do you know the identity of this support side Epic Level powerhouse?”
“This…”
Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before shaking his head with a wry smile, “His identity is somewhat special, and I’m not at liberty to say.”
“Just wait for a few days. The nation will surely release his information. At the very least, they’ll mention him, and then you’ll find out.”
For the people of Blue Star, each Epic Level powerhouse is the cornerstone of the Human Race, so whenever an Epic Level powerhouse emerges, they are widely acclaimed to bolster the confidence of the general populace in their fight against foreign races.
At the very least, they have to be mentioned so the ordinary people are aware that another protector has appeared to guard them.
“By the way, how did your mission in the secret realm go? What levels did you reach?”
Shifting the subject suddenly, Captain Chen said, since this trip to the secret realm was particularly for them five. Once they had a successful breakthrough, they could reach Level 69 and qualify to participate in the national college graduation exams four months later.
Zhou Xinyu said confidently, “I’ve got enough Soul Power, and I’m already at Level 59. Once I complete the Realm Breaking Task, I’ll instantly reach Level 69!”
“Me too.”
“The same here.”
Cui Xiabing, Purple Poppy, and Yao Zhixue nodded one after another, and Zheng Cheng also said, “I’m at Level 59 as well, and I have already completed my Realm Breaking Task.”
“Whenever I wish, I can break through to Level 69.”
“That fast?”
The others exclaimed in surprise.
“I was already at Level 59 after the trip to the Spirit Charm Blessed Land; this journey into the secret realm just allowed me to complete the Realm Breaking Task,” said Zheng Cheng.
“Let’s head back first; this is still the wilderness, after all.”
“Alright.”
The group initially wanted to enquire about Zheng Cheng’s Realm Breaking Task and his new skills after leveling up, but seeing he was not keen to discuss, they tactfully refrained from asking.
A few days later, everyone returned to Beijing, and after agreeing on a time for the next gathering, they went their separate ways.
Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue had confirmed their relationship and were just one step away from taking it further.
Though they lived together, they still had separate rooms.
After an intimate evening, Yao Zhixue said she could only give herself to Zheng Cheng, body and soul, once she completed the task set by the Elemental Elves.
Zheng Cheng couldn’t force her, and so the two simply held each other to sleep.
After resting for a few days, the group gathered once again.
The battle spoils.
In their possession were the Space Rings of Gui Xiao, Su You, and You Wu—the greatest spoils of this secret realm expedition.
Needless to say, the Earth Spirit Taishui, one of the Spirit Seeds, was still in Zheng Cheng’s hands, a relationship too profound for the other three to comprehend.
Simple restrictions guarded the Space Rings in their hands, and none had opened them casually.
Zhou Xinyu said excitedly, “Quick, quick, let’s see what treasures are inside.”
“I’ll go first.”
Cui Xiabing confidently took out Su You’s Space Ring, a special ring that looked like a delicate snake with its head biting its tail.
With a thought, she extended her spirit into the ring, and moments later, Cui Xiabing’s face showed a hint of surprise.
“The items in this Su You’s Space Ring… there’s quite a lot!”
With a wave of her hand, Cui Xiabing summoned a mountain of spoils that suddenly appeared before them.
A huge amount of forging materials, miscellaneous items, and over a dozen props and equipment materialized in front of the group.
Cui Xiabing first picked up seven cards that were overall deep purple-black, engraved with a myriad of fine inscriptions.
“These are bearer bank cards issued by the World Bank; each card holds five million Gold Coins. That’s… thirty-five million in total!”
“Hiss… thirty-five million! No wonder the Fallen Ones…”
The group was astounded. The so-called World Bank was a financial institution born from the few remaining countries of Blue Star, which formed a joint government over a hundred years ago.
Over a century, as the Human Race of Blue Star gradually stabilized its footing on the battlefield against foreign races, the threats were greatly reduced.
Thus, the joint government existed more in name than in practice, and the major powers acted individually, uniting only when faced with battles against foreign races.
