Tripling The Reward

Ye Zifeng quickly jumped up and

caught the severed head of the

baby rhino. His mouth curved

upwards and revealed a devious

smile.

If he ran away now, then he would

be able to turn in the head and

receive 120 contribution points.

However, he was still not satisfied

yet.

Behind him, the two adult rhinos

saw that their baby was killed by Ye

Zifeng and roared angrily at him.

The lightning on their bodies

became much stronger. It made Ye

Zifeng feel a small shocking

sensation. However, it was only a

small sensation. It wouldn't affect

his abilities at all.

"Man. Your lightning is really

strong. However, I have the

thunder spirit body now. If you

want to use it against me like

before, it won't work anymore.

Ye Zifeng laughed coldly and tossed

the baby rhino's head aside. When

the other two rhinos hesitated, Ye

Zifeng immediately moved in order

to gain an upperhand.

　　...

In these three days, Ye Zifeng was

very patient. He had waited until

the last moment of the third day to

finish the mission.

At that time, the people outside

were talking and speculating about

what happened.

"Elder Qin. Please. My brother has

been in there for three days

already. Let me go in and check on

his situation."

The anxiousness in Ye Xueyi's eyes

can be seen.

Elder Qin stood there and only

stroked his beard. He didn't give Ye

Xueyi an answer. In fact, he was

regretting his decision deeply. He

thought that Ye Zifeng would come

out immediately after seeing how

powerful the rhinos were. However,

it seems like Ye Zifeng wasn't the

useless cowardly Ye Zifeng

anymore. As long as his opponent's

power wasn't too overpowered,

Zifeng was willing to take the risks

and give it a try.

"Elder Qin. I beg you….."

Mo Yu sighed and tried to console

her, "Sister Xueyi, it's not that

Elder Qin doesn't want to help you,

but the time limit hasn't passed

yet. If we go in now and see that

Ye Zifeng was still fighting the

beast, then wouldn't he be

automatically disqualified? Would

that turn all his hard work to

nothing?

"But….."

Ye Xueyi had been waiting outside

since the second night. From then

until now, she couldn't even see Ye

Zifeng's shadow. Normally, most

disciples only used a half a day or

even only a whole day to finish

their mission. Most of the time

they used were on finding the

beasts instead of actually killing

them. There was no one who used

three whole days like Ye Zifeng.

Xiao Mu coldly laughed, "Don't

worry. You're brother is probably

scared after losing the bet. He

probably didn't want to lose any

and probably buried himself in

there.

"Young master Xiao, from the way

you're talking, you make it sound

like he had any face to begin with."

One of the bystanders joked.

"Young master Xiao, don't you feel

that it���s quite unfortunate? If he

comes out alive, you can get 120

contribution points from him in two

years."

Xiao Mu laughed loudly, "You're

right. I could get a spirit level

martial technique for free. Now

that you mention it, it's a pity...

Hahahahaha."

Ye Xueyi looked around and fiercely

glared at everyone who made fun of

her brother. She was so angry that

she began to tremble.

Shi Chen suddenly pulled Ye Xueyi's

sleeves and with a surprised

expression, he yelled, "Sister Ye.

Look! He's out!" He was one of the

first ones to finish his mission and

had been waiting for 2 days out

here already. According to the

rules, the ones who finished their

mission have to wait until

everybody finishes to return to the

sect.

Ye Xueyi wasn't in the mood right

now. When this stranger pulled her

sleeves, she got angrier and

shouted, "What came out?"

"Your brother. He's out. Ye Zifeng

came out!"

Everyone stopped chattering all of

a sudden.

It was so quiet that you could hear

a pin drop.

Being able to stay alive in the

rhino's territory for three days.

This action alone is commendable.

Everyone's eyes widened and looked

towards the forest. Ye Zifeng was

currently walking towards all of

them. His clothes were torn apart

by lightning and his skin looked a

little burnt. It seems like he had

fought with the Thunder Rhinos.

To be able to run away from the

Thunder Rhinos, it seems like Ye

Zifeng's strength cannot be

underestimated.

"Brother Zifeng!" Ye Xueyi

excitingly called out.

Ye Zifeng smiled back at her and

ran towards the group.

Elder Qin's expression became

happier, "I knew you were a lucky

bastard. You won't die that

easily." Seeing that Ye Zifeng came

back safely, this old man felt

relieved. If someone were to really

happen, he really didn't know how

to explain to Ye Chongtian.

"Brother Zifeng, it���s not a problem

even if you fail. It's good as long

as you are alive." Ye Xueyi started

to cry and hugged Ye Zifeng.

Xiao Mu gave Ye Zifeng a glare and

coldly said, "Heh. Since you came

back alive, then don't forget about

my 120 points. You should prepare

and learn how to repair those

broken walls in the hall."

"Let's go…." Xiao Mu waved and

called out to his brothers.

"Hold on a moment."

Ye Zifeng smiled, "Did I say that I

failed this mission?"

Xiao Mu turned around with a face

full of disbelief, "…. Could it

be..."

Elder Qin had been the giver of

missions in the Hidden Heart Hall

for many years. He knew how hard

this mission was. When he heard

this, he was shocked.

"Are you for real? You killed a

Thunder Rhino?!"

"That's right." Ye Zifeng

answered. His answer made Xiao Mu

feel like he was going to wither

away. If Ye Zifeng actually

finished this mission, then in

accordance with the bet, Xiao Mu

will have to give him his 100 points.

It means that his hard work was

for nothing.

Ye Zifeng smiled and then seriously

said, "About this. I want to

confirm with Elder Qin. If I kill one

Thunder Rhino, I will get 120 points

because you have doubled my

reward. Is that correct?"

"120 points. That's right. That was

the promised reward." Elder Qin

was happy that someone was finally

able to finish this mission. He knew

that sooner or later, someone

talented will come and finish this

anyways. However, he didn't expect

it to be someone like Ye Zifeng.

"120 points and in addition, you'll

get Xiao Mu's 100 points. Not bad

kid. From one mission, you actually

got 220 points." Shi Chen looked at

Ye Zifeng jealously.

Xiao Mu's face turned ashen while

looking at Ye Zifeng. Everyone was

there when he made the bet with Ye

Zifeng. He couldn't back out now.

Right now, he didn't only lose his

100 points but the face of his Xiao

clan.

Ye Zifeng smiled slyly and then

opened his bag. Under everyone's

watch, he pulled out a rhino head.

"Elder Qin, I had confirmed with

you before. Killing one Thunder

Rhino will get me 120 points. Then

what about killing three?"

After saying that, he dropped the

three rhino heads on the floor and

lined them up. There was still a

hint of lightning flicking around

since he had only killed them around

half an hour ago.

"Three Thunder Rhinos! Young

master Xiao, he killed three

Thunder Rhinos."

Xiao Mu was super shocked. He

looked at the person who just

talked and yelled, "I have eyes. I

can see for myself. I don't need

you telling me anything!" Xiao Mu

had tried to kill the Thunder Rhinos

before and knew how hard the

mission was. Right now, he was

speechless.

The blue light flickered in front of

everyone, bewildering them all.

Everyone was shocked because Ye

Zifeng had completed such a

difficult mission.

He was at the third stage of qi

refining and this was his first time

taking on a mission. And yet, he

was able to kill three Thunder

Rhinos that were at the fourth

stage. This was shocking news. Not

even people at the fifth stage of qi

refining was able to complete this

mission.

Elder Qin was shocked to the max.

When he regained his composure, he

bitterly smiled, "You stinkin kid,

how dare you trick me. Fine. Since

I agreed, I won't take it back. You

killed three Thunder Rhinos so you

get 360 points!"

"Three Hundred Sixty Points?!?!?"

The entire place was silent. Such a

high reward. It was comparable to

the reward of a seventh stage

mission. All those people who looked

at Ye Zifeng with a mocking

expression now looked at him with

jealousy.

Shi Chen fiercely patted Ye

Zifeng's shoulder, "Three hundred

sixty points, in addition to the

hundred you got from Xiao Mu,

that's four hundred sixty! From

this one mission, you ten times the

reward that I got already. Damn

boy, you should throw a feast and

invite me."

Ye Zifeng chuckled, "I think that

dumpling store in the north was

pretty good. Let's go try some of

that."

Shi Chen's mouth twitched a bit

and unhappily looked at him, "How

can you even say that. You earned

so much today! You should at least

treat me to a spiritual feast!"

Of course, Shi Chen was joking

around about the spiritual feast.

To a practitioner, a spiritual feast

will have a lot of benefit but for a

single person, it will cost at least

the equivalent of 1000 points.

Xueyi happily looked at her brother.

This time, Ye Zifeng had used his

own strength to prove himself in

front of everyone. From now on,

the trash Ye Zifeng does not exist

anymore!"

"Elder Qin. There's something that

I would like to ask about." Ye

Zifeng cupped his hands and bowed.

Elder Qin saw Zifeng's expression

and smiled, "What do you want to

ask?"

"It is said that after the mission,

the disciples have the authority to

take away their spoil. Then can I

take these three Thunder Rhino

heads away?" Ye Zifeng pointed at

the heads on the floor.

Elder Qin was suspicious and glared

at him, "What do you want these

heads for? Once a common tier

beast died, their spirits will

scatter. There isn't much qi left in

the heads. Even if you use it to

refine pills, the effects will be

little to none. Maybe a profound

ranked alchemist can achieve

something from it, but, in our

Leizhou city, the highest ranking

alchemist is only at the huang

rank. What can you get from this?

Why not sell it to the sect and earn

some extra money."

"This….." A sly expression

appeared in Ye Zifeng's eyes as he

smiled, "I want to bring it home to

commemorate my achievements

today. I hope Elder Qin will allow

this!"
