Chapter 278: Chapter 90: Azure Dragon Saber Technique

The scores were quickly calculated.

All personnel involved in this action.

The team leader, deputy team leader, and guest elders received a base score of +20, core members +15, and ordinary members +10.

All members who participated in the Corpse King BOSS battle, received a Medium Merit +10.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Severed the Corpse King’s arm, saved a teammate, a Significant Merit +30, blocked the Corpse King at a critical moment, buying time for Hidden Dragon Do Not Use to escape, Medium Merit +20, totaling 80 points.

Ye Luo: At the final moment, restrained the furious Corpse King, creating an opportunity for everyone to kill it, reducing casualties, Significant Merit +30, explored the Ancient Tomb, Minor Merit +10 points, totaling 60 points.

Dida La: Cleared little monsters with flame spells, earning a Significant Merit +30, totaling 60 points.

Group One: Directly resisted the BOSS’s attacks, earning a Medium Merit +20.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: Faced the sudden situation without fear, resisted the Corpse King despite being affected by Corpse Poison, Significant Merit +30, totaling 80 points.

In the end, Xiao Jie joyously found that he again ranked top in points, scoring the highest at 80 points alongside Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

He could feel that Hidden Dragon Do Not Use seemed to be intentionally suppressing his own score. As the leader, having control over the discussion, and being a main force against the BOSS, repeatedly facing life and death situations, it would have been extremely easy for him to award himself more merits, without even needing to find excuses.

Frankly, it was probably for the sake of overall team unity, distributing good items to the guest elders would raise no objections, but if good items were always kept for oneself, no matter how many reasons you had, the team would eventually become disloyal and divided.

However, as the scores were announced, discordant voices emerged nonetheless.

"Team leader, that’s not right, I led people to sweep a floor, securing the team’s retreat route. That’s no small merit, right?" Salted Fish said somewhat discontentedly.

Having earned merely 20 base points as a guest elder, and with his team members who cleared one floor of the Outer Circle even getting only 10 points, seeing how others were being scored made him envious.

His words immediately won the agreement of many Outer Circle members who did not participate in the BOSS battle.

Before Hidden Dragon Do Not Use could respond, Little White Dragon retorted, "Guarding one floor had no danger, what merit is there? It’s merely fulfilling your duty. If we accounted like you said, my leading people to significantly support the front row should also count as a Medium Merit, right?

"Next time, you take the lead in exploring and resisting the BOSS. I don’t care how many points you get."

This comment won unanimous approval from the core members.

However, the groups led by Xiao Jie, groups 7 and 8, being Outer Circle members yet having participated in the BOSS fight, felt somewhat like onlookers.

"Fine, fine, whatever you say," Salted Fish replied irritably.

Xiao Jie, however, thought little of it. You just lie flat, never taking any risks, and yet you blame others?

Guarding one floor really had no danger at all. You could run anytime you wanted, and occasionally killing a few little monsters, weren’t a dozen people more than enough?

"Hey Salted Fish, how about this, next time I’ll cover the rear, and you go with them. That way you can earn more points, I don’t mind," Xiao Jie said.

With that, Salted Fish had no choice but to remain silent.

"Alright, if there are no objections, let’s start bidding on equipment and dividing the silver. If you think the profit from the silver is too low, you can save your points for the next event."

The Corpse King, being a 20+ level BOSS, dropped seven items in one go.

Corpse King Blood Marrow×3, Corpse King Inner Core, Azure Dragon Saber Technique (Advanced Blade Skill), Hand Palm Thunder (Basic Taoism), blueprint: Horse-Slaying Saber (Fine), Bone Scrapper Gloves (Excellent), Blood Fury Chest Armor (Excellent).

"First item: Corpse King Blood Marrow×3, not for auction."

"This is a key ingredient for concocting Corpse King Blood Marrow Pills, quite valuable. Considering the mineral revenue this time was not as high as from the last event’s mountain bandits’ treasure chest, these three Corpse King Blood Marrows will be exchanged for money as a team welfare to distribute among everyone."

Xiao Jie felt a bit regretful, Corpse King Blood Marrow Pills could increase the maximum Life Value by 15 points each, totaling 45 points, almost equivalent to the effect of 5 points of Constitution.

However, since it was only a material and useless without knowledge of Alchemy, it made sense to sell it for money since the items were too few to be shared among so many people. Ordinary members hustled and needed to share a few taels of silver, which seemed reasonable.

"Second item: Corpse King Inner Core, core material, can also greatly boost Taiyin Law Conference reputation, starting bid 50 points, available."

"70 points," Ye Luo went all in, even adding the ten points he saved from the previous event.

Everyone else refrained from competing. Clearly a Ghost Curse Series item, although valuable, it wasn’t worth fighting over since it could only be sold for money.

"Third item: Azure Dragon Saber Technique (Advanced Blade Skill), starting bid 50 points, available."

An Advanced Blade Skill, the auction house would sell it for at least one hundred taels or more. This was currently among the highest level Martial Arts most players could access. Rare Techniques were only attainable by a very small number of top-end players, as for Supreme Divine Skills—those were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"50 points." Xiao Jie was the first to bid.

"60 points." Little White Dragon raised a hand.

"70 points." Xiao Jie raised his bid again.

"80 points." Little White Dragon stood firm.

Huh? Xiao Jie thought, where did you get those 80 points?

After a brief moment of thought, he remembered they must be from the last event.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, why the heck are you, a ranged fighter, bidding on a saber technique? Although it’s pricey, since it’s an Advanced Blade Skill, you have to spend the points when necessary—fortunately, he still had 9 points left from the last event. He went all in.
