Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 65: Chapter 60: From This Point On, Irreconcilable with the Bright God

Fang Xiu stared at Lin Huo.

And Lin Huo stared right back at Fang Xiu.

His flames were still blazing.

”Do you guys have any more?”

Fang Xiu looked at Yuan Heng and Du Xiwei and asked.

”R-Really... we’re all out!”

Yuan Heng and Du Xiwei shook their heads helplessly.

”What about you?”

Fang Xiu’s gaze returned to Lin Huo once more.

”I’m out too, really! There’s nothing left!”

Lin Huo shook his head, frustrated.

He had just drunk all of his Spiritual Power Recovery Potions. There wasn’t a single one left.

And the small box in his hand... the material... had almost completely melted away.

During this time, Lin Huo had also used up all of Yuan Heng’s and Du Xiwei’s Spiritual Power Recovery Potions.

A full six hours of burning!

Non-stop burning!

Lin Huo felt like he never wanted to use his Blazing Flame Skill again for the rest of his life.

”There’s only this little bit left. That should be enough, right?”

Lin Huo asked meekly, looking at the small piece of material in his hand.

Fang Xiu shook his head. ”No, it’s not. To be honest... I’ll tell you the truth. This thing is what I used to seal that Fake Spirit. If you don’t refine it completely and it gets out, you’ll be the first one it goes after!”

Fang Xiu’s expression was dead serious, his eyes filled with concern.

GULP!

Lin Huo swallowed hard. ”Dude... c’mon, don’t mess with me.”

”I’m telling you, with all seriousness, that’s exactly what’s going on. I didn’t dare tell you before because I was afraid you wouldn’t be willing to refine it. But now that we’ve come this far, I have to tell you!”

Fang Xiu looked at Lin Huo and said, ”But... with just this little bit left, it probably won’t be able to hurt you. So... maybe we should just call it a day?”

”No! We can’t call it a day, Bro!”

This time, Lin Huo was truly panicking.

At first, he thought it was just an ordinary box. Then it turned out to be a box made of special material.

He never imagined that inside this box was the very same Fake Spirit Demon Beast that had been able to impersonate and mimic Luo Sheng.

’I should have realized it sooner.’

’Otherwise, why would you melt a perfectly good box?’

’Even if it was melted down into raw material, why would it need to be burned away completely!’

’There was clearly something wrong with this whole situation.’

Now he was in too deep.

”Even if we can’t call it quits, there’s nothing we can do. You’re all out of Spiritual Power Recovery Potions, and I’ve used all of mine too. This little bit left should be fine, so don’t worry about it!”

Fang Xiu said helplessly.

”I... Let me check, Bro. Maybe, just maybe, there’s still one left?”

Lin Huo hesitated for a moment, then began to check his backpack. He quickly pulled out a Spiritual Power Recovery Potion. ”Look, Bro! There’s one more! What a coincidence, right?”

”What a coincidence indeed!”

Fang Xiu smiled faintly.

He watched as Lin Huo downed the Potion without hesitation and accelerated the refining process.

Fang Xiu was very satisfied.

He, on the other hand, still had quite a few Spiritual Power Recovery Potions.

All of them were taken from Dan Peiyu’s backpack earlier.

”What about you two? Check carefully. Otherwise, I’m washing my hands of this. After all, this Fake Spirit was imitating your friend. It’s probably been following you for a long time!”

Fang Xiu said casually, glancing at Yuan Heng and Du Xiwei.

Hearing this, the two of them looked hesitant.

”Hurry up and take them out! I don’t want to get killed by that thing!”

The two were still hesitating.

But Lin Huo, who was right there, immediately started urging them on.

He was the one controlling the Flame right now. He was the one teetering on the edge of danger.

How could he not be anxious?

”Uh... I’ll take a look!”

Yuan Heng hesitated for a moment before finally giving a slight nod.

”I’ll look too!”

Du Xiwei seemed rather reluctant.

But there was no other choice.

What Fang Xiu said sounded just like the truth.

They didn’t want to see Lin Huo end up like Luo Sheng either.

So they could only nod in agreement.

After all, that Fake Spirit was just too terrifying.

It could not only turn into Luo Sheng, but it could also turn into Lin Huo, and eventually, it could turn into them.

This was no small matter!

If it really escaped from this Seventh Gate World, it would affect them and the outside world.

”Here, take it. This is really the last one. I was saving it for an emergency.”

Yuan Heng helplessly took out a bottle and handed it to Lin Huo.

”Same here. Sigh, this cost me several months’ worth of Points!”

Du Xiwei shook his head helplessly.

He didn’t hunt many Demon Beasts to begin with, because unlike Lin Huo, he couldn’t attack from a distance, and unlike Yuan Heng, he wasn’t fast enough.

Every time he wanted to use his Power to hunt a Demon Beast, he could never catch up to it.

And when he encountered ones that weren’t fast, they were mostly Strength Type Demon Beasts, and it was hard to say if he could even win a fight against them.

This also made it much harder for Du Xiwei to earn Points.

However, Spiritual Power Recovery Potions were essential.

He could only grit his teeth and exchange his Points for them.

”If I hadn’t just had my Awakening and had no Points, I wouldn’t need you all to provide these Spiritual Power Recovery Potions!”

Fang Xiu said, feigning politeness.

But it was also the truth; he really didn’t have many Points.

Nor had he ever exchanged Points for Spiritual Power Recovery Potions.

It was just that others had exchanged for them, and he had taken them.

”It’s fine. That thing was following us, after all. The fact that you sealed it is already a huge help to us.”

Yuan Heng said helplessly.

Fang Xiu had only just had his Awakening, so he definitely wouldn’t have any Spiritual Power Recovery Potions.

He believed that much.

Besides, the Fake Spirit had been imitating Luo Sheng, so you could say they were the ones who led it here.

”Don’t worry about it. We’re all doing this to protect the world from the Demon Beast invasion!”

Fang Xiu’s words deeply moved Yuan Heng and the other two.

As Awakened, they were fighting on one hand to make a living, and on the other, to protect their homes and country.

”I’ll burn this thing to a crisp right now!”

Lin Huo was also fired up by Fang Xiu’s words.

The Blazing Flame in his hands flared up once more.

After being fueled by the last three Spiritual Power Recovery Potions,

Lin Huo finally managed to use his Blazing Flame to refine the very last bit of the material completely.

”Good, it didn’t come out!”

Fang Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if that Light of Purification had appeared, Fang Xiu didn’t know if it would have affected Kajimi.

It might even have been a tracking type.

If that were the case, Kajimi would have been in danger.

Fortunately, Fang Xiu’s guess was correct. The Light of Purification came from the runes on the small box.

He had caught a glimpse of them when he first opened it.

Now the small box had been reduced to nothing.

The Purifying Power had vanished along with it.

”Hmph!”

Just then, a faint, almost imperceptible cold snort reached the ears of Fang Xiu’s group of four.

Fang Xiu knew it was the cold snort of the Bright God.

But Yuan Heng and the others didn’t. Lin Huo’s voice, in particular, was trembling as he spoke, ”Th-That was the Fake Spirit, right?”

”Mm.”

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

Yuan Heng and the others were all rather surprised.

The Life Force of this Fake Spirit was unbelievably strong.

To think it could still make a sound at the very last moment.

’Thank goodness Fang Xiu was here today.’

Otherwise, they might have really been done for.

Who would have thought that a Fake Spirit needed to be sealed and then burned away?

With their strength alone, they probably couldn’t have managed it.

”Alright, since the matter with the Fake Spirit has been resolved, it’s time for me to go!”

Fang Xiu said to the three of them.

”Where are you going? How about we go hunt some Demon Beasts together? I know a few places with a lot of them, but our strength is too low. We’d need you to lead!”

Yuan Heng quickly spoke up.

They had witnessed Fang Xiu’s strength.

They had run into quite a few Demon Beasts here in the Seventh Gate World.

Unfortunately, the Demon Beast hordes were too large, making it difficult for them to hunt.

But if they could use Fang Xiu’s Skill for some area-of-effect damage,

and then they went in to clean up, their efficiency would increase tremendously.

”A large number?”

Fang Xiu had been about to leave, but his interest was piqued when he heard ”large number.”

”Yeah, at least twenty or so in a single horde. We’ve run into quite a few these past few days.”

Yuan Heng nodded.

”What about their strength?”

Fang Xiu asked.

”Around Level 15, with two at Level 20!”

This was also why Yuan Heng and his group had dared to approach.

Their own strength was around that Level. If it weren’t for the sheer numbers, they would have attacked directly.

”Not bad.”

Fang Xiu nodded slightly, then continued, ”So how do we split the final spoils?”

”For the number of kills, we each count our own. For materials, we do a seventy-thirty split. You get seventy percent, and the three of us each get ten percent.”

Yuan Heng said directly.

He knew that this time, they would definitely be relying on Fang Xiu.

Otherwise, they would have no chance of killing them all.

Getting ten percent of the drops in the end was already a great deal.

”You’re not greedy, I’ll give you that!”

Fang Xiu was satisfied with Yuan Heng’s proposed split.

After all, there were three of them, and they were providing the location.

If Fang Xiu had to find the hordes himself, it would waste a lot of time.

So Fang Xiu nodded slightly. ”Alright. Let’s go!”

”Great!”

Hearing Fang Xiu agree, Yuan Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Fang Xiu would be taking the lion’s share of this haul,

what was left for them was still more than enough.

After all, those Demon Beast hordes had over twenty beasts each. They were bound to drop something.

They wouldn’t be losing out at all.

”Kajimi, it’s taken care of!”

Fang Xiu walked into the tunnel and saw Kajimi, who was still a little nervous.

He patted her on the shoulder to reassure her.

”Mm, thank you, Master!”

Kajimi nodded.

She was truly terrified of that Light of Purification.

”Don’t worry, it won’t happen again!”

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

From now on, no matter what it was, he would never make a Sacrifice to the Bright God again.

Not even if he could get a great reward for it.

After all, Fang Xiu was not willing to risk a super-sized Light of Purification appearing next time and instantly purifying Kajimi out of existence.

Furthermore, from this day forward, he and the Bright God were irreconcilable enemies!

「After leaving the tunnel.」

Fang Xiu followed Yuan Heng’s group directly toward the Demon Beast gathering place.

You had to hand it to them, Yuan Heng and his group were extremely familiar with the Seventh Gate World.

A journey that would have taken over an hour by the main road took them only half an hour by taking a shortcut.

Soon, the first wave of Demon Beasts appeared before Fang Xiu.

Over thirty Level 12 Demon Beasts—Nine Tripod White Cloud Frogs!

And so, it began!

”Netherworld Thunder Fall!”

Fang Xiu shouted in a low voice.

His Spiritual Power surged as he threw out a Skill.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Below, the Nine Tripod White Cloud Frogs trembled in fear!

And at their side, Yuan Heng and the other two were already prepared!
