“Why are you so agitated? Could it be you have a Chaos Beast’s corpse?”
He Wei saw that Jiang Yi had such a big reaction and looked at him curiously. He Wei could see that Jiang Yi was a rather calm and steady person; he had not had such a big reaction previously before even when he had heard other news. Hence, He Wei asked this question.
Jiang Yi did not wish to lie to He Wei and also did not want to say he had such a corpse. He changed the topic and asked, “Why are these Chaos Beast corpses so valuable? Aren’t they just bodies? What use do they have?”
“This is where you don’t get it.”
He Wei was happy to let on that he was knowledgeable. He said, “The Chaos Beasts’ defenses are very strong. Actually, many divine artifacts and divine armors were refined from the skins and furs of Chaos Beasts. Their bones are also very sturdy and are the main materials used to refine sharp weapons. The most precious part of the Chaos Beasts is their Chaos Beast Cores. Every Chaos Beast was nurtured by heaven and earth; their Chaos Beast Cores contain nomological mystical abilities. These Chaos Beast Cores could also be activated, and the nomological mystical abilities within them can be released.”
“They can even be activated?”
Jiang Yi’s heart shook. If he could activate these, wouldn’t he be able to unleash both types of burning flames the two Chaos Beasts used limitlessly?
Jiang Yi had already witnessed the lethality of those two burning flames. Normal Heaven Gods could not withstand them at all and could be easily killed. As long as they were not equipped with battle armor divine artifacts, they could be killed with ease. Jiang Yi had also just been troubled by the limited amount of burning flames he had left. Now, if the two Chaos Beast Cores could be activated at will to release burning flames, Jiang Yi would possess an unlimited supply of them.
“Why would I lie to you? This is common knowledge in the Higher Domain; many high-level soldiers here are equipped with Chaos Beast Cores that allow them to release nomological mystical abilities, making them so powerful!” He Wei looked at Jiang Yi now, even more curiously, and asked again, “Jiang Yi, do you really have Chaos Beast corpses?”
“En!”
Jiang Yi knew he could not hide from He Wei. He then nodded and said, “During the appraisal, I was lucky enough to encounter two Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts battling each other. I took advantage of the situation.”
“What? Two?”
He Wei’s body shivered as his face was full of shock. He asked, “Brother, you are not lying to me, right? Two corpses are equivalent to ten thousand battle merits. You can immediately become a Demon-Killing Battle General. Gods, you are most likely the fastest person to have risen through the ranks to become general in recent years.”
“Shush!”
Jiang Yi made a shushing movement and said softly, “I intend to keep the two Chaos Beast Cores; I have big plans for them.”
“Don’t!”
He Wei hurriedly grabbed on to Jiang Yi and said, “The most precious part of the Chaos Beasts is their Chaos Beast Cores. If you keep them, the two Chaos Beasts would probably be worth a thousand battle merits at most. You would not be able to rise to become a Demon-Killing Battle General then. Furthermore, the nomological mystical abilities in the Chaos Beast Cores of Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts are of the lowest level. Even if you realize them, they would not be of much use to you.
“Brother Jiang, listen to me. If you become a Demon-Killing Battle General, you would definitely stun the entire Demon-Killing Pavilion in the Blue Eagle Prefecture. At that time, your future would be limitless. Who knows? Perhaps some important figure might even hear about this and make you his disciple; your future would be so bright then.”
“I have already made my decision; I have my own considerations.”
Jiang Yi said very resolutely. He did not want to make a name for himself now. Without power and might, he might potentially die faster if he became a Demon-Killing Battle General. Instead of having a nice title, he might as well take the opportunity to strengthen himself. Once he possessed these two Chaos Beast Cores, he would be able to send out burning flames at will, greatly boosting his powers.
Along the way, He Wei kept on trying to persuade Jiang Yi; Jiang Yi remained unmoved. The two passed through a long corridor and reached another side hall. Outside this side hall was a signboard reading Battle Merits Pavilion. It also said that this was the place to exchange for battle merits as well as to use them.
A young lady sat inside this side hall. Her age was hard to tell because she was very pretty, and her eyes revealed her youthfulness. Seeing He Wei enter, the lady stood up, smiled faintly, and said, “Young Master Wei, you are here to find me again? Could it be you want to ask me out?”
He Wei’s eyebrows twitched as he smiled and said, “Sister Mei, I am here this time to introduce a friend, Jiang Yi. He is only twenty-six-years-old! He had just completed an A-Grade appraisal. He had also killed two Chaos Beasts; he is here to exchange them for battle merits.”
“Oh?”
The lady called Sister Mei’s beautiful eyes lit up for an instant as she turned to look at Jiang Yi. It was as if a wolf was staring at him, and Jiang Yi’s soul spirit shivered. He felt he was a weak young lady while the charming lady had become an old sex fiend. Her gaze was very discomforting.
Sister Mei looked at Jiang Yi for a while before she smiled brightly and said, “My, my, this little brother is really incredible. For the Demon-Killing Pavilion to have such talent is indeed our good fortune. Little brother, hurry up and bring the two Chaos Beasts out. You are soon to become the fastest prodigy to become a Demon-Killing Battle General in the entire Demon-Killing Pavilion in recent years!”
“Eh. What was I going to say?”
Jiang Yi scratched his nose, embarrassed, as he said, “I wish to keep the two Chaos Beast Cores; is that alright? Also, these Chaos Beasts were not slain by me. I was just lucky; I am not some prodigy.”
“Uh?”
Sister Mei’s reaction was similar to He Wei; she was full of shock. However, she reacted quickly, sighed slightly—disappointed, and said, “You are entitled to keep them. I am also not in a position to say anymore. However, I—Sister Mei—had been in your shoes before. Becoming a Demon-Killing Battle General would raise your status in the Demon-Killing Pavilion; the authority and amount of resources you would possess would be far beyond your imagination.”
“I still insist on my thinking.”
Jiang Yi’s ring lit up as two Chaos Beast bodies were brought out; half the side hall was filled with their size. He Wei and Sister Mei looked on as they both silently nodded and confirmed they were Chaos Beasts. Sister Mei smiled broadly and looked at Jiang Yi, saying, “These are two fire-elemental Chaos Beasts. Are you sure you wish to retrieve the Chaos Beast Cores?
“These two Chaos Beasts have huge holes in their bodies; their bodies will not be worth that much. The two corpses will only be able to be exchanged for a thousand battle merits. If you decide to turn over the Chaos Beast Cores as well, I can make the decision to give you ten thousand battle merits; you can immediately rise to become a Demon-Killing Battle General.”
Jiang Yi said very certainly, “I am sure I do not wish to exchange the Chaos Beast Cores.”
“Sigh…”
He Wei stared at Jiang Yi from the side; however, Jiang Yi’s face did not change. He was not moved. Sister Mei’s hand lit up as a pair of blue gloves appeared above her beautiful hands. She easily dug into the Chaos Beasts’ brains and retrieved one blue and one red fist-sized Chaos Beast Cores. She gave them to Jiang Yi and said, “Keep them well. You had better not tell others that you possess Chaos Beast Cores; if not, some people might start to be jealous of you.”
“Thank you, Sister Mei!”
Jiang Yi nodded. He took over the two Chaos Beast Cores from Sister Mei’s hands. She smiled as she placed one of her hands lightly on Jiang Yi’s shoulder and said, “Since you call me sister, I naturally have to take care of you. I’ll treat you to a drink another time, okay?”
“Jiang Yi, you should be careful. Sister Mei cultivates the Yin Yang Arts; she loves to play around with young handsome boys. A hundred-off men in the Demon-Killing Pavilion had already been toyed about by her…”
He Wei’s voice transmission rang out as Jiang Yi had goosebumps just hearing what He Wei had said. He hurriedly shrugged and slipped away from Sister Mei’s hand. The latter seemed to realize that He Wei had sent a voice transmission as she rolled her eyes at He Wei. The ring in her hand lit up as she passed Jiang Yi a black ring, saying, “This is a special interspatial ring of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Records of your battle merits would be logged in it. Once you refine it, you would find out that there are a thousand battle merits in it. Find some time to get Young Master Wei to teach you how to use your battle merits.
“You should also go to Promotion Hall and be promoted to an official disciple. I will be off my shift soon. If you wish to drink… you can come and find me. With me looking out for you, I will guarantee you can be smooth-sailing in the Demon-Killing Pavilion.”
