Chapters 2744-2752 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 5

2744 SL restrains her anger and fights another soldier, when LYJ aims a wind blade towards her, wanting to remove her while NL is preoccupied. LYJ slays SL’s soldier again, before running off, when the PIF directs hers towards SL. LYJ and the PIF smirk at each other, having found a common cause, as the crowd laments that SL’s already being bullied the second LY leaves. SL waves her sceptre, freezing a guard. Seeing her familiar action, LYJ grabs the Captain, yelling that SL had disguised herself as 13 and played them.

2745 Wondering if LY had known, LYJ is shaken, remembering how he had kept 13 near him and offered his protection to the sceptre’s owner. SL aims the sceptre at more guards, chasing them down, when she runs into LYJ collecting the Crafty Thorn points. SL rushes towards them, spraying the green liquid, causing the men to back away as LYJ reprimands them for running. SL then turns towards Purgatory City.

2746 LXF’s squad corners the Guards, allowing the 7th elder to redeem the points, when SL charges towards them, chased by 30 guards. Secretly intimidated by SL, the guards soon switch to targeting the elder’s group. SL generously uses the green liquid which the mini Bai Zhe restores for her, due to its ties with YH and since SL had singlehandedly gathered all the weapons. With the sceptre and LY protecting her, the elder can only endure as SL sprays all their Spirit Guards and takes their points.

2747 The elder is furious over the advantage the sceptre gives SL, as she easily defeats her opponents despite being significantly weaker than him. Watching the elder race away, SL starts chasing him, when she notices the Demonic Clan. NL continues fighting a close match with the Spirit Guard Commander, when a day passes. SL and NL both reach 3rd rank, while the elder, LYJ and the man in black are 2nd rank. An elderly man with a white beard appears, listing prizes to redeem, giving them 60 seconds to decide. People start rushing to exchange their points, but none of the prizes interest SL.

2748 The mini Bai Zhe laughs that those rushing will soon regret it, when the scene morphs into the 3rd round. While the rest of the group have redeemed their prizes, NL hadn’t found anything of interest, while SL is saving hers for the Fountain of Youth and the two remaining herbs needed to advance to Grand Master Apothecarist. The mini Bai zhe warns her that the Fountain of Youth is expensive, but SL is determined to heal LYC.

2749 The mini Bai Zhe is uncertain if the territory even has the Wood Spiritual Water and Nominal Nine Star Grass (chapter 2291). SL enters the 3rd round to see a gate with ‘Prison’ written in bright red, in front of a vast area the size of a state. Noticing SL hasn’t exchanged her points, LYJ and the elder condemn her for stealing their guards, only to waste the points. SL holds back a smirk as she listens to the crowd’s criticism, assuming the points from the 2nd round can’t be used in the 3rd.

2750 A voice broadcasts through their minds, revealing that the 2nd round’s points are still valid in the 3rd round, and that the prizes will be even better, causing them to regret. However, the rules for the second round have changed. The voice disappears and a bright light seems to explode in SL’s mind, causing her to feel faint, as NL reaches towards her. SL finds herself standing in front of a bubbling magma river, with smoke rising and several human, beast and mixed species’ heads appearing on the surface. Unable to find NL, SL threatens the mini Bai Zhe for information.

2751 The Bai Zhe retorts that it had taken SL to the river to enhance her fire attribute, while the heads belong to several species trapped by YH. YH was the Bai Zhe’s boss, but he can only reveal more after SL has taken the inheritance. Fearing the others might get the inheritance, SL realized that from the start, she was the only one being assessed, while the Bai Zhe reveals that if she fails, she’ll end up trapped on this tiny island. SL is stunned the vast Blue Sky Continent is so insignificant but the Bai Zhe refuses to elaborate.

2752 SL doesn’t press the Bai Zhe, but it’s unable to tell her where NL is. When SL speculates on using the trapped individuals to gather more points, the Bai Zhe roars in laughter, praising her intellect, when SL notices letters printed on the prisoners’ foreheads: H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne…. SL is stunned, realizing it’s the periodic table and that YH had knowledge from the modern world. The Bai Zhe is even more excited than SL, racing around with the little dragon, as she starts selecting them based on the elements printed.
