Long Aotian lost, does it mean he isn’t strong?
No, he is extremely powerful!
It is his opponent who was stronger, displaying up to two percent of the divine might at the God Spirit Level stage was simply terrifying.
“I have lost!”
After stepping down from the arena, Long Aotian sighed.
This was his third defeat, his first time was to Du Gang, the second time to Long Aoshi, and this was the third time.
The first time, he lost to Du Gang, giving him the feeling that given Du Gang’s unique status and his many added divine techniques, a loss was understandable.
The second time, he lost to Long Aoshi, he thought, although Long Aoshi was stronger, he belonged to the same clan; even if he lost, it meant only that the opponent was better adapted to the Primordial Continent.
However, the third time, he lost to someone from an external race, an ordinary person he used to look down on.
What saddened him even more was that he was defeated by his opponent after he had exhausted all of his techniques
For the always inwardly proud Long Aotian, it was somewhat hard to accept.
Maybe, I should return to the clan…
“Get ready, they’re about to make their move…”
Just as he was immersed in his sorrow, Du Gang suddenly sent a voice message to him.
Long Aotian immediately sobered up and looked towards Libra.
At this moment, Yang Jun and others were moving towards Libra.
Unlike the overall gloomy atmosphere around, Yang Jun and others were extremely excited.
Other than their own sixty thousand plus divine crystals, there was almost seventy thousand divine crystals on the other end of Libra. This meant that each of them had made a fortune!
“Brothers, let’s put our own things away first and then divide the spoils…”
Yang Jun still came to his own Libra first, where his valuable divine artifact, worth ten thousand divine crystals, was located!
Ma Liang’s Divine Brush, this was the divine brush left by a powerful entity from their academy, it was a second-rank True Divine Artifact.
With this brush, his prophecy technique will be amplified again and his strength can be increased by at least one notch.
At this moment, Du Gang and others all quietly watched as Yang Jun and others finally excitedly reached for their divine artifacts.
“Eh? Why can’t I retrieve it?”
“I can’t retrieve my artifact as well!”
“What happened?!”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
At this moment, a surge of strong wind came.
In the distance, Long Aoshi and others were rushing towards them, heading straight for the artifacts on the Libra.
“What are you doing?!”
Yang Jun yelled loudly, but quickly heard the echo behind him.
He turned around and saw Du Gang also roaring with rage, while replying to him, “Brother Yang, hurry and retrieve your artifacts, be careful of these second generation nobles stealing….”
Second generation nobles?
After hearing that, Yang Jun and the others quickly understood that these were people with strong backgrounds, who were at odds with Du Gang and others.
They probably wanted to seize the opportunity to rob the artifacts.
“Brothers, fucking rob them!”
Long Aoshi, now taking on the role of a bandit leader, roared and led the charge.
“You’re too slow!”
“You’re too weak!”
Sometime later, several prophecies were declared from the mouths of these scholars.
In an instant, Long Aoshi and his group were restrained.
Seeing this, Du Gang, without any hesitation, shouted loudly: “Everyone, come with me to stop Long Aoshi. Don’t let them disgrace our Penglai Academy!”
After saying that, he led the charge.
In a blink of an eye, the 69 people from his side also rushed over.
The scholars were taken aback.
People were coming from both sides.
Approximately 70 people from one side, nearly 80 people from another side, making up more than four to five times their number.
“Brother Yang, don’t be afraid. Fellow seniors, don’t worry, we are here to help you!”
Du Gang took the initiative to define the nature of their visit: they were there to help stop Long Aoshi and others.
Looking at Du Gang as well as Long Aotian on his side, and then at the approaching, similarly horned men on the other side, Yang Jun had a sudden realization.
The two Dragon Clan descendants were fighting for a position, therefore they had conflicts. One side was friendly to them, the other side naturally wanted to disgrace them.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The other party was rushing for Libra. Naturally, Yang Jun and others wouldn’t let Long Aoshi and his group touch it. They preemptively blocked them and a fierce battle ensued.
“Brothers, help!”
With a loud command from Du Gang, he quickly approached a person near Libra and entered into battle.
The people behind him also followed suit, launching into battle with the people in front of them.
“Er Gou, you guys are so bold, daring to steal artifacts…”
“I’m not called Er Gou, I have a name…”
Er Gou was speechless. He blamed Long Aoshi who always called him Er Gou, leading to everyone forgetting his real name.
However, Du Gang clearly held back, fighting evenly with Er Gou.
Originally, Er Gou felt slightly afraid after finding out that it was Du Gang. After all, Du Gang was the one who had fought Long Aoshi to a standstill.
Who would have thought that they would end up evenly matched?
Was he posturing?
Was he seriously injured?
At this moment, he was a bit confused. Was it really not possible anymore?
At the same time, reminded by Du Gang, he remembered that he came here to snatch artifacts. He immediately increased his strength and pressured forward.
Unexpectedly, he merely gave a tentative push and Du Gang had been forced back two steps.
“He is definitely injured!”
Er Gou was overjoyed and quickly grabbed a divine artifact from Libra.
“Stop!”
Seeing this, Du Gang, while shouting, quickly approached, and once again confronted Er Gou in front of Libra. However, if anyone noticed, during the battle, his hand would inadvertently brush over a certain spot, and a necklace-like miniature divine artifact would disappear. The next time it appeared, it would already be in the pocket on his body.
Er Gou already had a divine artifact in hand by this point, and was starting to think about retreating. Unable to store it away, he naturally kept it in his hand.
However, after discovering that Du Gang was a paper tiger, he had a new idea.
What if… he took another artifact?
No sooner thought than done, he quickly grabbed another divine artifact after fending off Du Gang again.
At that moment, Yang Jun turned around and saw what was happening, his eyes bulging with rage, he yelled, “Protect the divine artifacts!”
The others turned around and also witnessed the scene.
As soon as Er Gou noticed the others looking at him, without uttering a word, he ran off with two divine artifacts he had grabbed.
Plus his own divine artifact, he had a total of three.
“He stole three!”
Du Gang roared, “Er Gou, stop right there!”
As he spoke, he kicked off the ground and started chasing after him at high speed.
“Don’t worry, Brother Yang, I, Du Gang, give you my personal guarantee that I will exact justice for you!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun was moved and retreated with his student comrades, guarding the edge of the divine artifacts.
At this moment, Long Aoshi saw the scene and also reacted.
“I’m here to snatch divine artifacts, not to fight with them!” He suddenly shouted loudly, “Brothers, grab the divine artifacts, don’t mind them!”
Having said that, he immediately left Yang Jun behind and rushed towards Libra.
“Stop!”
Yang Jun was both shocked and angry. These divine artifacts were their spoils of war, and they were actually being stolen like this!
Elsewhere, Du Gang chased Er Gou all the way to the space gate.
“Du Gang, don’t chase me. There are divine artifacts over there. You should go grab them!”
Er Gou tried to convince Du Gang to turn around and go back.
Du Gang replied righteously, “Hmph, you’ve stolen their divine artifacts. I should catch you and help them seek an apology.”
Run, if you don’t get out, how am I going to store the divine artifacts?
In a short while, he had stashed six divine artifacts in his pocket, all of which were small but valuable.
Er Gou suddenly sped up again and quickly rushed in front of the space gate.
“Goodbye!”
Looking smug, he was about to shoot out.
At this moment, Du Gang’s speed suddenly soared. Like teleportation, he reached Er Gou.
“Bang!”
In a split second, he snatched all three divine artifacts in Er Gou’s hand, and even gave him a kick at the last moment.
Immediately, the two flew out one after another. To outsiders, it probably looked like Du Gang was worried about Er Gou escaping, so he burst out at the last moment.
Although the distance to the arena was quite far, and they couldn’t sense that far, Du Gang still put on a complete show.
As soon as he stepped through the space gate, without delaying for a moment, Er Gou quickly slipped into the dormitory area.
At this moment, Du Gang finally stopped, feeling ecstatic.
“What are you guys doing?!”
Suddenly, Old Liu’s voice came from the front.
Seeing this, Du Gang quickly transferred the divine artifacts from his pocket to his inner world.
“Divine artifacts? You robbed those student scholars?”
Du Gang coughed, laughing, “No, Teacher Liu, I was chasing after Er Gou. He took their divine artifacts…”
“Teacher, can you testify for me that I couldn’t recover any divine artifacts from Er Gou?”
As he spoke, he handed a divine artifact worth a hundred divine crystals to Old Liu.
Looking at the divine artifact, Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then soon, his face broke into a smile. “Don’t worry, I know what to say. You couldn’t catch up, that little guy headed towards the dormitory area!”
“Thank you!”
Du Gang bowed his head slightly, then stopped near the space gate, waiting quietly.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
Old Liu curiously asked.
Du Gang was about to reply when the space gate opened. A student came out, holding two divine artifacts, his face full of ecstasy.
Secret Nine, open!
Whoosh!
Du Gang transformed into a ghostly figure and instantly flickered beside the person who had just managed to come out. Almost before anyone could see, he returned to his original position.
Immediately, the divine artifact in the student’s hand disappeared.
“Okay, you’re even robbing people here. Go back and return the divine artifacts to them!”
The student was stunned, quickly recognized Du Gang, got a shock, and hurriedly scurried towards the neighboring dormitory area.
Afterward, Du Gang started talking to himself.
“Damn it, these people have completely lost face for our Penglai Academy!”
“These maggots are nothing but black sheep!”
“I need to get back and stop them!”
“Or should I wait here to intercept them?”
“But, during the fight I might have sustained some…”
Before he could finish, Old Liu’s voice came from behind, “Du Gang, what the heck are you saying there, mumbling to yourself?!”
Du Gang chuckled, “Teacher, I’m just making a recording, for evidence…”
Having said that, he continued, “But during the fight, I took some damage. It had some impact on my body…”
“No matter what, I must stop them!”
Listening to Du Gang’s righteous words, Old Liu was speechless.
If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, anyone who heard this would think Du Gang was a model student of excellent character.
Damn it, this kid is really bad!
Old Liu rolled his eyes, “Kid, if you want me to testify for you, one divine artifact is not enough…”
Du Gang chuckled, “Don’t worry, teacher. Whoever comes out and gets a divine artifact, we’ll split the loot…”
Hearing this, Old Liu grinned.
No harm in making a little extra on the side!
A hundred divine crystals are enough for one visit to the first floor, if I save up ten, wouldn’t that be enough to spend a night on the second floor?!
With this thought, Old Liu was full of smiles, extremely excited.
The two of them continued to stay. Soon, the space gate opened again.
Seeing this, Du Gang quickly used Secret Nine again, and rushed over with blinding speed.
The next second, three divine artifacts entered his inner world.
“You scoundrel, dare to rob scholar students of their divine artifacts? You’ve lost face for our Penglai Academy!”
Du Gang looked furious, scolding, “Hurry up and follow me back, make an apology to them…”
“Mind your own business!”
The student cursed and without saying a word, he dived into the dormitory area nearby. In fact, he didn’t even realize that the divine artifact in his hand was gone.
“Heh heh!”
A big smile of ecstasy immediately spread across Du Gang’s face.
Old Liu also had clear, discerning eyes. He took out a mirror and started combing the few strands of hair on his forehead.
Watching the ridiculous actions of Old Liu, Du Gang saw everything clearly. This old man was definitely planning to go to the Dream Building!
“Bang!”
Just as he was thinking about it, he was greeted with a slap on the head.
“Kid, you really don’t take me for a real True God?!”
Du Gang suddenly remembered that the gatekeeper was indeed a True God, and he put up a flattering smile.
Damn it!
So, they continued to wait. After capturing six waves of people, they couldn’t catch any more. This time, there were too many people. Their group, the enemy’s group, scholars included, all swarmed and ran in chaos.
Soon, about sixty or seventy people had fled the arena and entered other spatial portals.
Among these people, there were enemy students, and also people like Long Aotian.
As for Du Gang, he quickly returned to the arena.
Inside, both sides were almost done fighting.
Half of the scholars were knocked down. This kind of mass battle was too intense and many couldn’t stay hidden, which is why many were knocked down.
Du Gang watched these people, and it gave him something to ponder.
Scholars were strong in single combat or working together, but they needed protection, otherwise they were quite vulnerable.
They were like mages, bestowing blessings and curses on the enemy, needing protection.
There were about fifty or sixty people from Penglai Academy, half were on Long Aoshi’s side, and the other half on this side. They were still fighting. None of them had been knocked down, mainly because most people from the Ancient City were accustomed to tempering their bodies, so they were all physically strong and wouldn’t fall due to misfire.
Looking back at where Libra once stood, the divine artifact was gone. Clearly, it had been taken by everyone.
Long Aoshi’s remaining people were retreating while fighting, making their way towards the spatial portal to escape.
Seeing this, Du Gang once again rushed forward, joining in the fight with a man who held three divine artifacts.
At the same time, he shouted, “Brother Yang, I’ve chased back a divine artifact for you…”
Upon hearing that, Yang Jun and the group of scholars were immediately grateful, “Thanks!”
They weren’t fools. They realized that previously many people on Du Gang’s side said they would help, but in fact, they also grabbed the divine artifacts.
Those who stayed to help them fight seemed truly honorable in their eyes now!
“Run!”
Long Aoshi was still here at that moment and did not leave. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to leave. It was because Yang Jun had been clinging to him. Clearly, he had recognized that Long Aoshi was the leader and wanted to capture him.
But Long Aoshi was no pushover either. His divine power was ultimate, and even Yang Jun couldn’t suppress him. This clearly showed that he was stronger than Long Aotian at the moment.
Once the scholars couldn’t suppress the enemy, they basically had no strong means left. So despite clashing with him, Yang Jun was unable to take down his opponent, feeling anxious and helpless.
“Boom!”
After forcing Yang Jun to retreat once again, Long Aoshi quickly ran towards the spatial gate, shouting, “Withdraw! Withdraw!”
Seeing their leader running, everyone else naturally wouldn’t want to stay. They all exhausted their strength, forced their opponents to retreat, and then left together.
“Chase!”
Seeing this situation, all Yang Jun could do was to helplessly continue chasing after them. But he knew it was too late.
Once these people escaped the range of the space restriction talisman, they would definitely put away the divine artifacts.
Indeed, Long Aoshi and the others did not hesitate. After putting away the artifacts, they quickly entered the portal nearby.
“Sigh!”
Everyone abruptly halted.
At this point, only 13 scholars were standing, the rest were all lying down. On Du Gang’s side, there were 22 students, while the rest had vanished into thin air.
“Brother Yang, calm down. I will go to the administration area to inform the teachers about everything that happened here, let them decide…”
After hearing this, Yang Jun could only express his gratitude again, “Thanks to you guys, otherwise we might all be stuck here…”
Du Gang angrily declared, “This is absolutely a premeditated operation. Shockingly, they even had a prohibition charm, a thing that is worth ten thousand Divine Crystals…”
“Indeed!”
Yang Jun nodded. He was skeptical about Du Gang initially, but thinking about his performance along the way, and his present situation, he dismissed the suspicions.
After all, Du Gang chased down an artifact and came back to help.
Furthermore, given the level of ferocity with which the two groups fought, it was clear that these two factions within their class had always been at odds with each other.
“Brother Yang, let’s go back and check on your disciples first. Let’s take them all to the administration area!”
“Alright!”
But before they could move again, the door to the administration area opened by itself.
It turned out that Xiang Xinjian and the others had finished their conversation.
Currently, besides him and the middle-aged scholar, there was also a vice principal present. The three of them walked out, smiling and chatting.
Seeing the crowd, they paused in surprise, “What happened to you all?!”
They noticed that all the students were wounded and looked like they had just finished a fight.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Xinjian’s face turned dark, “Du Gang, you usually work hard and endure hardships. You are brave, diligent and always ready to help others… So, why did you provoke a fight with our guests now?”
Du Gang was taken aback, puzzled as to why Xiang Xinjian praised him first?
Before he could explain, Yang Jun beside him started to explain for him.
“Teacher, you have misunderstood Du Gang. He wasn’t fighting with us, he was injured while helping us…”
At this moment, one of Du Gang’s arms looked like it was cut off. Blood gushed out, and although there were no fatal injuries, it still looked serious.
Old Liu was twitching at the corner of his mouth.
He watched as the kid ruthlessly beat his own arm to this extent. He was utterly invincible!
Du Gang looked wronged as he looked at Xiang Xinjian, “Teacher Xiang, you have misunderstood me…”
Xiang Xinjian really wanted to smack him. I’ve been watching you closely with divine beings by your side, and you think I wouldn’t know what you’re trying to do?
He is trying to play the victim in front of me.
Nevertheless, he inquired, “What exactly happened?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun quickly began to relate the whole incident and course of events.
Throughout his narration, the scholar also constantly asked questions to clarify the details.
After a while, the scholar frowned, “So, you got 20 people knocked out?”
Hearing this, Xiang Xinjian frowned and interrogated, “Du Gang, what have you been doing? You didn’t catch a single one?!”
“Also, this Long Aoshi is simply reprehensible. Don’t worry, scholars, I will definitely seek justice for you. To think he managed to injure 20 people, let’s go and check on them just in case they haven’t received proper treatment…”
Although the scholar was displeased with Xiang Xinjian’s words, he nodded in agreement, “Let’s go and check.”
Soon, they all arrived at the arena area.
Indeed, in the depths of the area, a group of scholars lay on the ground. Some were unconscious, while others were healing themselves.
The clear-headed scholars, upon seeing their arrival, were crying out with grievances, “Teacher…”
Teacher Li looked helpless, he could only say, “You need to recover first, I will demand justice for you…”
After saying this, he turned his head to look at the Vice Principal and said, “Director Ji, what about those who forcibly seized artifacts during the fair duel? They are all your students…”
Ji Hetong nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will handle this matter fairly!”
Then, he turned to Xiang Xinjian and said, “Go and bring all the involved parties here. You have one minute!”
“All right.”
Xiang Xinjian didn’t hesitate and was off instantly.
About a minute later, all those who had previously left, whether it was Long Aotian’s group or Long Aoshi’s, had all returned.
Seeing the presence of these teachers and the Vice Principal, Long Aoshi’s group, including Long Aotian, looked somewhat intimidated.
Long Aotian had grabbed two divine artifacts without contributing any from his own.
Vice Principal Ji Hetong said, “Separate yourselves, don’t stand together. Students who were here to duel with Confucian scholars, stand here. Those who came late and seized the divine artifacts, stand there…”
Quickly, he separated the three groups of people.
“Talk, what happened? Why did you try to steal their divine artifacts?”
Ji Hetong was looking at Long Aoshi, waiting for him to speak up.
Long Aoshi stepped forward and said, “We didn’t initiate it, they did!”
He pointed at Du Gang’s group and said, “They planned to hustle these Confucian scholars even before their arrival…”
“Oh?”
Director Ji asked, “How were they planning to hustle them? And how did you find out?”
Long Aoshi continued, “They were planning to coerce these Confucian scholars into combat, then add a twist and take their divine artifacts…”
“We observed through the Open-eye…”
Director Ji sneered, “So, you planned to rob the robbers?!”
“No!”
The directness of the question startled Long Aoshi and he hastily said, “I didn’t plan to steal from the Confucian scholars; I wanted to rob Long Aotian and his comrades…”
“They were so confident as if they possessed invincible assurance, which made me think they might win. So, I planned to wait till the Confucian scholars lost to them and then to seize their divine artifacts…”
Director Ji’s face darkened, “Stealing from Confucian scholars is impermissible, but stealing from your classmates is?!”
Upon hearing this, Long Aotian hurriedly waved hands to refute, “No, no, absolutely not. We…we have always had some disputes with Long Aotian’s group, so we wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to give them some trouble…”
“Humph!”
Director Ji snorted coldly, full of dissatisfaction.
In his view, these people couldn’t even distinguish right from wrong.
Being part of Penglai Academy, if they joined forces to rob the Confucian scholars, that would not have infuriated him so much.
But this fellow still ended up forming an intention to rob his own comrades.
“Since it’s the Libra battle, then return the stolen divine artifacts!”
Though unwilling, Long Aoshi’s group still took out the stolen divine artifacts one by one.
Suddenly, divine artifacts worth about twenty thousand appeared.
Ji Hetong finally turned to Li, the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and smiled, “Teacher Li, What do you think of this outcome?”
Teacher Li was about to respond with a smile, when Li Jun suddenly interrupted, “Teacher, these divine artifacts are not enough!”
“Not enough?”
Director Ji couldn’t hide his embarrassment, he made the claim once, yet these people are not handing over everything?
He asked, “How much did you bet initially?”
Li Jun quickly said, “On our side, we put up divine artifacts worth nearly seventy thousand divine crystals. Their side was about the same, so in total, about one hundred and forty thousand divine crystals were involved…”
“But now…”
He turned to his fellow students, “Take out the remaining divine artifacts and see how many there are!”
Soon, after a quick counting, only those thirteen standing students were left with divine artifacts, the rest who were laying down had all their divine artifacts robbed.
And among these thirteen, they couldn’t possibly carry much in their hands, only nearly about thirty thousand worth of divine artifacts were left.
Ji Hetong’s face convulsed at this news.
“A total of one hundred and forty thousand divine crystals, you are left with thirty thousand, they’ve taken out twenty thousand, where’s the rest of the ninety thousand?”
“Long Aoshi, are you guys itching for a thrashing?!!”
At this, a student from Long Aoshi’s group turned a face of grievance and hurriedly said, “Not only us, they’ve also taken some!”
Saying this, he pointed toward Du Gang’s group.
“Bullshit!”
Du Gang stiffened, as if he had been deeply wronged, and shouted angrily, “You guys, with ulterior motives, have robbed people of their divine artifacts and dare to make false accusations?! Hurry up and return the divine artifacts, do you not obey the principal’s words?!”
Xiang Xinjian also interjected, “Long Aoshi, hand over the divine artifacts now and we can still discuss matters. But if you don’t, the problem will escalate!”
Long Aoshi was genuinely helpless at this point. “Teacher, I took three divine artifacts. I’ve already taken them out…”
He looked back at his subordinates and frowned, “At this crucial juncture, why do you hide? Take out all the divine artifacts you have!”
“No, we’ve taken them out!”
The people behind him all denied having any more, claiming they had already taken everything out.
Du Gang chuckled coldly, “There are over seventy of you, and you’ve only taken out artifacts worth twenty thousand divine crystals. That averages less than one per person, and Long Aoshi himself has taken out three. You are claiming to have taken one per four people… ”
“Hurry up and take them out. On this point, your vision isn’t even as good as Long Aoshi’s!”
Hearing these words, Long Aoshi wasn’t happy either. He had already taken out his three divine artifacts, but his subordinates were still hiding theirs.
“You bunch of bastards, don’t you even listen to me?!”
Er Gou was innocent, “Big Brother, I really didn’t take any…”
At this point, Long Aoshi didn’t feel the need to conceal him anymore and roared directly, “Bullshit! I saw you running with three divine artifacts in your hands!”
Er Gou was momentarily at a loss for words, “I did take some, but after exiting the space gate, I found the divine artifacts missing. I hurried back to the dormitory area…”
Then, he pointed at Du Gang, “It must have been him who took them, he was chasing me at the time!”
“Ha!”
Du Gang was irritated, “I didn’t expect that you people, who have abandoned your minds, would use such a string of schemes to frame someone…”
“You’ve even come up with such nonsense!”
Certainly, anybody hearing this would think it absurd. Could your own things get stolen by others as soon as you exit from the spatial gate?
They must have been kept in their personal world.
Ji Hetong’s face turned cold and he slowly said, “It seems that the Academy should dismiss a group of students due to personal character issues. People like you, lacking even the basic morals of being human…”
“Constantly lying through your teeth!”
Hearing this, naturally, Teacher Li had nothing to say and waited for Ji Hetong to handle it.
Xiang Xinjian also frowned and said, “You guys, take out the divine artifacts now and this incident can be downgraded. If you don’t, the problem will become severe!”
Hearing these threats, finally, someone couldn’t bear it and quickly stood up and said, “Teacher, I was wrong. I was overwhelmed by greed and I privately hid one divine artifact. I swear, only this one…”
Saying this, he took the divine artifact out.
Seeing his action, a few others also took out the divine artifact they had hidden.
Soon, the divine artifacts on the ground which were originally worth about twenty thousand, had now turned into worth about thirty thousand.
“Is that it?”
Ji Hetong’s brows were still furrowed, “That’s only sixty thousand total now, where’s the divine artifact worth eighty-thousand divine crystals?!”
This time, no one dug out any more, the students behind Long Aoshi quickly said, “Teacher, we’ve really given all we have, there’s nothing left, if there is, they must have taken it…”
Speaking, they again pointed towards Du Gang and others!
“Nonsense!”
Du Gang couldn’t help saying, “The people on our side have been helping Ru’s team all along. Otherwise, with the strength comparison between the two sides, how could they have held up?”
Although his words were unpleasant to hear, Yang Jun didn’t want those who helped them to be wronged, so he spoke, “Teacher, Du Gang and others have indeed been helping, even at the end, there were still twenty or thirty people who stayed here, I watched carefully, they didn’t take more than their own divine artifacts…”
Ji Hetong nodded his head, looked again at Long Aoshi and others, “On your side, I don’t want to say much, there are a total of 77 people, now that there are eighty-thousand divine crystals less, you’ll each have to share it. What’s more, those who handed over their divine artifacts pay less, those who haven’t hand over pay more. If you don’t have the money, it’s okay, I’ll ask your clans…”
“Besides the eighty-thousand divine crystals, we also need to warm the hearts of those who have acted bravely and righteously. You guys, collect another twenty-thousand, making it a total of a hundred-thousand divine crystals. Of which eighty-thousand will be returned to the Ru, and the remaining twenty-thousand divine crystals will be equally divided among these brave individuals…”
That means that those people have to chip in at least a hundred divine crystals, and some of them even a few hundred.
Hearing this, Du Gang and others suddenly looked happy.
Twenty-thousand divine crystals divided among sixty-nine people is equivalent to nearly three hundred divine crystals per person.
This is not a small amount.
Ji Hetong turned his head and said, “Teacher Li, the Academy will make up the eighty-thousand divine crystals for your students in advance, and settle your affairs first…”
“Alright!”
Li Rushi nodded his head, saying yes. Indeed, however the others are compensated, it doesn’t concern him, as long as his are compensated it’s fine.
At this moment, seeing that the matter was resolved, he understood that Ji Hetong needed to investigate the situation with these people further. So he said, “Director Ji, if that’s the case, I’ll take my students to the dormitories now. After all, these people need to heal…”
Ji Hetong nodded and said, “Xiang Xinjian, you accompany them to arrange for their dormitories…”
“Alright”
Xiang Xinjian immediately led the Ru and others away leaving only the director behind.
Everyone in the venue felt a bit apprehensive.
Previously, with outsiders around, the director must have reserved some face. Now that everyone else has been sent away, would he resort to brute force?
Soon, Xiang Xinjian had escorted all the Ru away from the arena area.
Ji Hetong then began to chuckle, saying, “You guys are really bold…”
“They just arrived this morning, made such a scene, directly downing 20 people…”
He looked at Du Gang and others, chuckled, “You guys, wanted to profit from their divine artifacts, but lacked power, and instead lost seventy-thousand…”
Then he looked at Long Aoshi and others, “You guys are even more foolish, just coming straight over to rob them. If you want to rob, couldn’t you have worn a mask when you left the academy?”
Long Aoshi’s eyes lit up, saying, “Director, by your meaning, we can rob them when they leave?”
“Get lost, I’ve never said anything like that. If I hear such rumors being spread, I’ll flay you alive!”
Hearing this, Long Aoshi was immediately frightened into silence.
Ji Hetong looked at Du Gang and others and said, “While there were outsiders just now, I saved your faces, but now, whoever took the divine artifacts, speak up…”
Long Aoshi and others looked at each other. Nobody said a word.
Du Gang, still like before, shook his head, “Director, I didn’t take it, I believe the classmates behind me didn’t either…”
Hearing Du Gang deny it persistently, Long Aoshi and others naturally wouldn’t admit it either, so they all refused in unison, “We didn’t take it either!”
From this side, not a single person admitted to it!
However, someone from the crowd, looking doubtfully at Du Gang, said, “Director, my divine artifact might have been robbed by Du Gang!”
Ji Hetong was contemplating how to handle these people when he heard this. He raised his head and said, “Speak!
The student immediately said, “I was running towards the space door with two artifacts in hand…”
“Du Gang was standing at the door. By the time I reached the dormitory area, I found my artifacts were gone…”
“So, I suspect, Du Gang intercepted them…”
Du Gang sneered, “Such slander again, did I touch you?”
“Did I even touch you?!”
At this point, several other people also stood up, making the same allegation as the first person.
“Same with us, we had artifacts, only encountered Du Gang, but when we got to another space door, the artifacts vanished…”
Du Gang scoffed, “You guys store your artifacts, then accuse me?!”
Ji Hetong was now almost exploding with frustration due to all the noise, his eyebrows furrowed, he growled, “Don’t take me for a fool, tell the truth!”
“We didn’t!”
Suddenly, all together, including Er Gou, seven people stood up.
They said in unison, “We are not lying, it really was Du Gang who took them…”
Du Gang shook his head, “See, these people are so malicious. They try to drag me down with false accusations, is tarnishing my name that important to you?”
“Long Aoshi, you sure are cunning, hiding behind the scenes and having your subordinates do the dirty work!”
Long Aoshi, taken aback, frowned, “Don’t put baseless accusations on me. When did I ask them to frame you?”
Du Gang sneered, “Can’t you hear it yourself? Earlier, only Er Gou falsely accused me, now, with the director’s words, six more people jumped out, how interesting, their testimonies are even the same…”
“Oh, we were being chased by Du Gang, and our artifacts disappeared. When we left the space door, the artifacts disappeared from your hands. Did my world’s power absorb them?!”
“My abilities are truly extraordinary, even True God level powerhouses can’t snatch things from others like this, but I managed to…”
At the people present started nodding their heads, especially Du Gang’s companions, who firmly stood up for him.
“Doing good deeds only to be framed, in such an environment, how can we dare to do good deeds in the future?”
Du Gang couldn’t stop sneering. After a while, he said, “Fortunately, I had saved some evidence…”
Saying this, he took out an Image-Keeping Stone, and said, “Director, does this prove my innocence?!”
Ji Hetong, who had already thought that Du Gang’s words made sense, now seeing this evidence, was basically sure, and nodded, “Play it!”
“Damn, these people, are disgrace to our Penglai Academy!”
“These vermin are nothing more than pests!”
“I must hurry back to stop them!”
“Or should I wait here, block them?”
“However, during the battle, I was injured, which affects my body…”
Listening to these righteous words, Ji Hetong couldn’t help but feel moved, “What a good student! I’m truly honored that our academy has a student like you!”
“Thank you, Director. I am just doing what I should!”
Du Gang’s expression was quite indifferent, calmly accepting this.
Behind him, Long Aotian and the others looked at each other. They didn’t dare to think too much.
However, apart from their nine-conspiracy group, everyone else sighed.
“Who would have thought, our class leader has such a big heart!”
“Yes, I thought before… It seems that I misunderstood him!”
“That’s right, our class leader is great! He comforted us, motivated us…”
At this moment, not only Du Gang’s crowd behind him, but even on Long Aotian’s side, including the seven who had just falsely accused Du Gang, were a bit dumbfounded.
Is this guy really that great, is he really that selfless?
Ji Hetong sneered, “You seven, be honest, did you see Du Gang make a move?”
The seven people shook their heads, “No, but he was the only one there…”
Er Gou remembered something and quickly said, “Right, the old Liu who was guarding the door at that time was also there, he might have seen something…”
“Should we go there and confront Old Liu?”
Ji Hetong smirked and pulled out the Message Jade Talisman, calling out for Old Liu.
In less than a second, Old Liu appeared on the scene.
“Director Ji, you looking for me?”
Ji Hetong nodded and said, “Old Liu, you saw these people chasing each other earlier, right?”
Old Liu laughed, “Oh, I did. I was enjoying the sun in my lounge chair when I saw them coming and going. It was quite lively…”
Ji Hetong nodded again, pointing at Du Gang and said, “Do you remember this student?”
Old Liu looked at Du Gang and laughed, “Yes, this student, seemed to be the second one out, following that boy over there…” He pointed at Er Gou.
He continued, “After he came out, he stayed at the gate and tried to stop people, but it seems like he didn’t stop anyone…”
Ji Hetong nodded, “Old Liu, then I ask you, did you see him take any divine artifacts from those who came in later?”
“Did you see him touch them?!”
“Touch?”
Old Liu laughed, “You mean touch them? No, these people were moving very quickly, they didn’t stay here when they arrived and vanished into another space gate the next second…”
Upon hearing this, Ji Hetong turned to the seven people and sneered, “What do you have to say now?”
The seven people were dumbfounded and did not understand the situation.
Could it be that it was not Du Gang?
He had nothing to do with it?
We misunderstood him?!
One of them still held on, “Director Ji, is it possible that the two of them conspired together…”
“Conspired?”
Before Old Liu could express his dissatisfaction, the director sneered, “Old Liu is a True God level expert. Do you think he would, for just a few of your Divine Artifacts, stoop so low?!”
The seven were shocked dumb.
But one of them was still insistent, “If he is a True God, is there a chance that he was the one who acted…”
“Looking for death!”
Old Liu furiously said, “Kid, you dare to frame me?!”
As he spoke, his divine might was revealed, suddenly enveloping the whole sky in dark clouds.
Everyone was startled.
All were shocked, they didn’t expect the old gatekeeper they usually despised to be a True God level expert.
At this point, Ji Hetong quickly stopped him, “Old Liu, don’t be impulsive, I know you feel wronged…”
Soon the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
Ji Hetong looked at the seven people, shaking his head, “You seven, really rotten to the core. First you frame Du Gang, and now you dare to frame a True God level expert. What next, are you going to frame me and say I took your Divine Artifacts?!”
He looked coldly at the seven, “You are all expelled, you staying in the academy is like a pest!”
“What?!”
The seven were terrified and immediately begged for mercy.
“Director, spare us, we were wrong!”
Ji Hetong sneered, “Spare you? I’m not killing you, spare what lives? You still want to frame people? Go to the abyss, that’s where you belong!”
“No, Director…”
“Director, please, don’t expel us…”
The seven were terrified, going to the abyss this early would certainly erase their futures.
Seeing their tearful faces, Du Gang felt somewhat moved, “Director, how about giving them a chance to reform?”
Upon hearing Du Gang’s suggestion, Ji Hetong sighed, “You’re too kind, Du Gang…”
He thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, like this, each of you seven, give two thousand Divine Crystals, a total of fourteen thousand Divine Crystals. Half goes to Du Gang, half goes to Old Liu…”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, the seven were initially reluctant, but seeing the look in Ji Hetong’s eyes, they quickly agreed.
Ji Hetong smiled, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to ask your families, I’ll get it for you!”
Then, he turned to Du Gang and said, “I heard you bet a Divine Artifact worth around ten thousand Divine Crystals and lost. I hope this seven thousand Divine Crystals can make up for your loss a bit…”
“The reason why I didn’t let them compensate you entirely is because I hope you learn from this mistake and avoid being impulsive in the future!”
Hearing these words, Du Gang felt that Director Ji was a good person.
Grateful, he said, “Thank you, Director. Rest assured, from now on, I will think things through before acting on them!”
Ji Hetong nodded, then turned to the people behind Du Gang, “As for you, I will not investigate further. You all are brave and just. So, if there are any among you who hid the Divine Artifacts, I am sure there must be, I can only applaud you!”
“I hope you will remember today’s affairs and reflect on why not only did I not pursue it, but I also commended you…”
Only then did Ji Hetong say, “Alright, you’re dismissed. The matter ends here, no more mischief!”
“Yes!”
Ji Hetong then quickly took off, leaving the arena area.
The two groups didn’t have the mood to fight at this moment. Long Aoshi quickly gathered everyone to discuss the situation.
Du Gang did the same.
“Everybody, come over here!”
Soon, all 68 people gathered around. Yu Shuiyao was not there, having left earlier.
Du Gang said, “This gambling competition, our side gave out a total of seventy thousand Divine Crystals, one-tenth of which was mine. You all have lost quite a lot. When the teacher supplements the twenty thousand Divine Crystals in a bit, I won’t take any of it. It’s my fault that I proposed this, I didn’t expect the opponent to be so strong…”
“Du Gang, don’t blame yourself, we’re the ones at fault. We were outskilled. You all won but we dragged you all down!”
“Yes, if we had challenged individually, you would have had twenty thousand Divine Crystals by now…”
People present felt guilty. Du Gang was just too good to them.
Long Aotian and Little Hawk King felt disgusted.
This guy, always playing the sympathy card…
“Ahem!”
Long Aotian cleared his throat, “I’ll pass. It’s just a thousand Divine Crystals, losing them is not a big deal. Moreover, I also lost to Yang Jun. The twenty thousand Divine Crystals, I won’t take any…”
When they heard his words, others like Little Hawk King also began to speak up.
In the end, who would’ve thought, the others didn’t want any either.
“If those who won don’t take it, how can we losers dare to take it?”
“Exactly, I think the twenty thousand Divine Crystals should be split among those who won the competition…”
Hearing this, not only Du Gang, but even Long Aotian and others felt it strange.
These people, it went without saying, were the biggest winners among their group, and yet they wanted to split their winnings.
“Is this…not so good?”
Dragon Aotian swallowed hard.
Du Gang gave him a glance, “Absolutely not, we are all classmates, sharing weal and woe…”
“Class leader, since you said so, let’s share the spoils. If you refuse your share, who dares to take theirs?”
“Exactly!”
In the end, Du Gang had no choice but to say, “Let’s just share it then. Yue Shuiyao is not here, so each person will get about 300 divine crystals…”
300 divine crystals!
The present crowd drew in a quick breath.
Because some people, in fact, had not even contributed as much as 300 divine crystals.
Having put in a hundred divine crystals, they received three hundred in return…
The crowd looked at each other.
Du Gang laughed, “Let’s wrap it up and call it a day!”
After the departure of the most formidable among them – a group of ten or so prodigies.
Those who remained discovered they had actually profited.
“I put in a divine artifact worth a hundred and fifty divine crystals…”
“I put in a divine artifact worth a hundred and sixty-six divine crystals…”
“At that time, there were nearly seventy of us contributing, totalling only 70,000 divine crystals. Du Gang alone provided over ten thousand, those ten or so prodigies contributed another ten thousand. All together, they put in close to 30,000…”
“If now, each person can get 300 divine crystals, doesn’t it mean that we, here, have earned?”
And indeed it was so…
“Fellows, we can’t do this. This time, Du Gang took on much of the responsibility, he is an exceptional person who bore great losses. He contributed over ten thousand, and even after counting in the seven thousand he will get back, he is down more than three thousand…”
“How about we cover the loss and pool together the extra, to give it back to him?”
The crowd briefly calculated and realized they could pool together more than a thousand divine crystals.
“Then let’s give these one thousand divine crystals to Du Gang!”
“Right, let’s do this, we can’t let the class leader both lose and lament!”
“Exactly, we have a promising future. What does this bit of money count for? If anything, we can earn more in the future!”
…
After leaving, Du Gang and Long Aotian looked at each other.
“Cough cough, let’s go back to the dorm first, come to me secretly later…”
Sure enough, everyone quickly gathered in Du Gang’s dorm room.
“Damn, Du Gang, what a brilliant tactic?”
“Didn’t you hear? They even wanted to refuse their share and give it all to us!”
Upon entering, Long Aotian was already laughing heartily with excitement.
Yao Zixuan said dispassionately, “Even if they want to give it, we can’t take it. That’s way beyond the line of moral conduct. They may not know the truth, but we do, don’t we?”
Du Gang laughed, “That’s right, we must leave some for them. Furthermore, I discovered that many of our classmates have also profited!”
“Yes, some people put in only a hundred divine crystals, and got back three hundred. Didn’t they profit from it?”
Du Gang smiled, scanning over all of them he asked, “Everyone’s taken a cut, right?”
“Yes!”
Everyone nodded.
He smiled and said, “That’s good. This matter must be kept a secret. Otherwise, we might end up as unlucky as those seven were!”
“Especially you, Dragon Aotian, you must keep your mouth shut…”
Dragon Aotian pouted, grumbling, “I, Dragon Aotian, am the best at keeping secrets…”
No one paid him any mind.
Little Hawk King excitedly asked, “Du Gang, didn’t you say you still had further plans? How are they going?”
“Yes, you now have gained the trust of the scholars. What is your next move?”
Du Gang pondered for a moment and then said, “Let’s wait, cool down a little. With these scholars following us, it won’t be easy to take action. Once I have reevaluated and found the right opportunity, we will make our move!”
“Great!”
Everyone nodded their heads. This time, following Du Gang, they all profited.
The divine artifacts they contributed were all fake, but what they received was real. Not only that, but they also got a subsidy of three hundred divine crystals, and a good reputation to boot.
It was practically a huge profit!
“Du Gang, when you find the opportunity, remember to call us…”
“Don’t worry!”
Du Gang sent them all out one by one, and only then did he begin the count.
I myself got seven divine artifacts, each worth seven or eight hundred, totalling about five thousand divine crystals.
In addition, I looted 15 more, of which one has already been given to Old Liu. The rest are to be divided with him…
He didn’t plan to hoard, since Old Liu was paying close attention and must have known how many he had taken.
At this moment, a figure appeared, it was Old Liu’s divine spirit.
“Hehe, lad, where are the promised divine artifacts? Hurry and bring them out, you took fifteen in total…”
Du Gang chuckled, “Don’t worry, your share is guaranteed. You’ve already taken one, so I’ll give you another seven…”
As for what was inside him, he knew the value very well. Only needed to give seven of lesser value. This way, it looked like Old Liu was getting a bargain because he got eight in total.
“Where’s mine?!”
Just then, a voice rang out.
Xiang Xinjian popped up, smiling, “Where’s mine? How about five divine artifacts each?”
Old Liu was at a loss for words, how could he have forgotten this fellow who’s been protecting Du Gang at his side…
Xiang Xinjian grinned, “I was there too. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll go to the headmaster. Master Liu, lying to the headmaster is quite a serious matter…”
“You, damn!”
Old Liu had no choice but to look at Du Gang and relent, “Five each it is, bring them out!”
Du Gang promptly took out the two’s divine artifacts and handed them over.
The moment he got them, Old Liu’s face darkened.
“You are giving me just this?”
He raged, “I saw it clearly at the time, you took several worth hundreds of divine crystals!”
At this moment, what’s in his hand was close to what Xiang Xinjian got, five combined were worth just five to six hundred divine crystals.
Du Gang sighed, “Teacher, you probably don’t know how much I have lost in this…”
“You lost? You took everything from them…”
Old Liu was indignant.
Du Gang shook his head, “Teacher, you probably don’t know the truth, do you?”
“The thing is, we actually planned to trick Rushi. I even spent over ten thousand divine crystals and participated in the gamble…”
“Ten thousand? That means you should have made twenty thousand…”
Du Gang was nearly in tears and said, “What a joke! I lost my ten thousand. We lost in this gambling challenge…”
“You lost?!”
Old Liu frowned, thinking that this guy had won.
Du Gang sighed, “We gambled under the Libra curse method. We had a total of seventy thousand, they had a total of seventy thousand, a total of one hundred and forty thousand. But who would have guessed? These Ru students were not weak. Although I won, the overall matches were lost…”
“Later, after the match ended, the group led by Long Aoshi jumped out. They somehow got the news…”
As Du Gang said this, he gave Old Liu a meaningful look.
Old Liu quickly retorted, “You brat, stick to the story. What are you implying? I didn’t say anything!”
Du Gang rubbed his head, flinching from the hit, but continued, “Anyway, those bastards led by Long Aoshi, they released a forbidden sky curse, preventing everyone from retracting their divine items…”
“Then, as you saw, I tried to stop the loss at the gateway, thinking I could still make some profit. But it turned out to be a huge loss. I’ve lost more than ten thousand divine crystals and only have a little more than a thousand left…”
“Is that really how it went?”
Old Liu seemed a bit doubtful.
Xiang Xinjian nodded in acknowledgement and laughed, “Indeed that’s the case, this kid lost a lot this time. I was hoping he’d make a killing, but who would have thought…”
“That’s embarrassing!”
Du Gang also felt a bit awkward, “So, teacher, your five hundred is not a small amount!”
Old Liu scoffed, “I got all worked up for nothing, I thought I could gather up a thousand…”
Du Gang, who was sensitive to numbers, raised his eyebrows and asked, “And what can you do with a thousand divine crystals?!”
“You could go to the second floor…”
“Go away!”
Du Gang received another slap from Old Liu, sending him straight to the ground. With a flash, Liu disappeared.
“Ouch…”
Du Gang quickly got back up, rubbing his sore head, and looked at the people in front of him, “Teacher Xiang, aren’t you leaving?”
Xiang Xinjian said noncommittally, “I’ll wait a bit more…”
After a moment, possibly confirming Old Liu’s position, Xiang finally chuckled, “Du Gang, don’t you owe me some hush money?”
Du Gang immediately looked at him in confusion, “Teacher, what do you mean?”
Xiang Xinjian grinned broadly, “You’ve been manufacturing counterfeit divine artifacts…”
Du Gang was stunned, though he still feigned ignorance, “What are you talking about? What fake divine artifacts?”
Xiang Xinjian laughed and said, “Don’t even try to play dumb. I have a god always watching over you. Everything you do is crystal clear…
“What?”
This time, Du Gang was truly stunned.
Did he really have no privacy at all?
Then, what about that time when he pulled off that trick…
Cough, cough!
He had nothing more to say and started, “Teacher, how much do you want?”
Xiang Xinjian was calculating cheerfully, “The divine artifacts that you stole are worth about five thousand divine crystals, plus the ones from just a while ago, which makes six thousand. Add the seven thousand that you got as a subsidy, and the three hundred from splitting twenty thousand. You have a total of thirteen thousand three hundred divine crystals. I won’t take a large share, you’ll still have the majority. I’ll just take a confidentiality fee…”
“So, six thousand three hundred divine crystals are mine. The rest, which makes up a large seven thousand divine crystals, is yours!”
“What?!”
Du Gang was ready to cry; he had struggled so much to get these divine crystals.
“Teacher, I need these divine crystals for my cultivation. As you know, I possess Hidden Divine Fire and the Hidden God Acupoint…”
“I don’t care. How does this affect me? The hush money is hush money, there’s no discussing it. If you don’t have money for your cultivation, you figure it out!”
In the end, Du Gang gave up six thousand three hundred divine crystals, “As soon as the message comes through, I’ll give it to you!”
As of now, he didn’t even have cash.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xinjian revealed a brilliant smile, “Don’t worry, I know. I will come to collect it when the time comes. Remember, whatever you do, always keep a part reserved for hush money… Also, don’t blab about this. Otherwise, next time it’s not going to be as simple as you taking the larger share!”
Du Gang nodded reluctantly, then he added, “Teacher, could you blackmail some hush money from the side of Long Aotian too?”
If he’s going to lose money, Long Aotian and his group should lose some too. He lost more than six thousand, so if they lost a bit too, it would make him feel a bit better, regardless of whether they even made a thousand or two from their gain.
Xiang Xinjian, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and laughed, “I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. No matter how small the mosquito is, it’s still meat!”
Having said that, he vanished after a flash.
Shortly after, Long Aotian and the others showed up with gloomy faces.
“I was blackmailed by Teacher Xiang!”
“Me too!”
“He said it was hush money. Du Gang, what about you?”
At that moment, Du Gang was sitting slump on a chair, crestfallen, “Teacher Xiang took more than six thousand divine crystals from me…”
“What?! That much?!”
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Du Gang replied, “Don’t you remember? Those seven people compensated me with seven thousand divine crystals…”
“Not only that, old gatekeeper Liu also took three thousand divine crystals from me…”
“That much?”
Everyone looked at each other, disbelief written on their faces.
Du Gang sighed, “That’s how it is. Do you think I would lie about this? My god, this time, I didn’t make a profit. In fact, I lost quite a lot. Why is my life so tough?!!”
Everyone was looking at Du Gang, who genuinely seemed to be on the verge of tears. They were stunned.
“Du Gang, you don’t need to be like this…”
Du Gang shook off Long Aotian’s reassuring hand, “You lose ten thousand divine crystals and show me!”
Everyone fell silent. They truly understood his feelings.
Yao Zixuan spoke up, “We were indeed taken advantage of by Teacher Xiang, but at least we still made a profit…”
“Yeah, Du Gang lost so much, he might not be too enthusiastic for the next operation…”
“I feel like, if we follow Du Gang, we can make a lot…”
So, after discussing among themselves, they finally said, “Du Gang, how about this, for the next operation, we take less and give you some compensation?!”
Du Gang abruptly stopped wailing, “Really?”
Everyone nodded, “Of course, we’re the champions of the heavens, there’s no way we can tell lies about this sort of thing?”
Du Gang asked again, “But what if you end up giving me too much next time and get jealous?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t!”
Du Gang laughed. A brilliant smile.
Those Ru students were still hanging around. The money on them added up to be worth one hundred forty thousand divine crystals. And it would become more, not less!
