117: Chapter 117 Losses of Various Countries, Methods of Collecting Elixir

Zhou Bai slowly looked up and saw it was Xu Xiu.

At this moment, Xu Xiu had a grave expression, his eyes filled with worry.

"Liu Wen didn't come back last night?"

Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Zhou Bai's eyebrows twitched.

"Yeah, not just our Xia Country's Liu Wen, but other countries in the World Martial Arts Competition have top-tier Sixth-Rank Espers who haven't returned. Especially Perfume Country and Big Goose Country, they both have two Sixth-Ranks missing!"

"Country M also had two contestants who didn't return the day before yesterday. One was a Sixth-Rank, and the other was our old rival, Karen Smith..."

"It's said that it's very likely the Ninth-Order Beast Kings of the secret realm took action..."

Xu Xiu hurriedly said, telling Zhou Bai everything he knew.

"Ninth-Order Beast Kings!"

Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed slightly; he didn't believe this explanation.

His first reaction was the people from Country M. After all, he had been attacked by Country M that day and was forced to kill his opponents.

Those people from Country M were insane; having lost their own men, they would definitely not let the matter rest.

Now, top-tier ability users from various countries were being killed. Although Zhou Bai had no evidence, he knew there was a high probability it was the people from Country M.

However, Zhou Bai didn't voice his suspicion. For one, he had no proof.

Secondly, if he revealed that he had killed Country M's ability users, those people from Country M would definitely not let it go.

"So, has everyone stopped going out to hunt fierce beasts?"

Zhou Bai looked toward the main hall of the palace and found that the warriors of Xia Country hadn't gone out; instead, they were over there discussing something.

"Yeah, with so many Sixth-Rank Espers meeting with accidents, it's too dangerous to go out now. Everyone is discussing countermeasures!"

Xu Xiu continued to tell Zhou Bai.

"I see!"

Zhou Bai nodded. After glancing at the crowd, he turned to leave the palace.

"God Bai, aren't you going to join the discussion?"

Xu Xiu asked Zhou Bai.

"Xu Xiu, don't mind this Zhou Bai. He thinks just because he has some strength, he's a big shot. What do we need him for!"

Not far away, Wang Tianba heard their conversation and sneered.

"Student Zhou Bai, why don't you come and discuss countermeasures with everyone? One more person means more strength!"

Mu Qinghuang actually invited Zhou Bai, which was rare.

The other ability users around didn't speak, just watched coldly from the sidelines.

"No need. You guys go ahead and discuss; I'm going outside to take a look!"

Zhou Bai said indifferently, then left the palace expressionless.

"Heh, he really thinks he's something. Just a champion of the dawn battle, making such a fuss!"

Ling Xiao sneered as he watched Zhou Bai leave.

Xu Xiu watched Zhou Bai depart, then looked back at the group in discussion.

"You guys carry on. I'll go talk to God Bai some more. In this situation, we still need to be united!"

Xu Xiu thought for a moment and then said to the crowd.

After saying that, Xu Xiu directly chased after the departing Zhou Bai.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Bai found that the Xuanhuang Fortress had become much livelier, with many ability users outside.

"Line up, everyone! Have your fierce beast inner elixirs ready. Aaron will purify them for you one by one. For ten sixth-tier fierce beast inner cores per person, our Aaron can help you purify the berserk Qi and Blood Power in your bodies!"

Zhou Bai heard a loud, spirited voice coming from the distance.

Not far away, many ability users were gathered. They were lining up one by one, looking at a blonde youth on a high platform with fervent eyes.

The blonde youth's hands emitted an exceptionally gentle holy light power, purifying the berserk Qi and Blood Power within the ability users in front of him.

As the holy light power surged, the berserk Qi and Blood Power in the ability users' bodies slowly calmed down.

"Aaron Helens is truly impressive. His light attribute talent not only has great killing power but can also soothe the berserk Qi and Blood Power generated by absorbing too many fierce beast inner elixirs. He started using this method to gather fierce beast inner elixirs here this morning!"

Xu Xiu came to Zhou Bai's side and informed him about Aaron Helens' situation.

"Oh, right! I can use this method to obtain fierce beast inner elixirs!"

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.

His Dutian Divine Thunder had the same effect. He could completely use this method, just like Aaron Helens, to collect fierce beast inner elixirs.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai no longer hesitated and shouted, "I can also help you soothe the berserk Qi and Blood Power in your bodies! I only need five sixth-tier fierce beast inner cores!"

As soon as Zhou Bai spoke, the many ability users lining up not far away were stunned and then looked toward him.

"Wait, you're just a mere Fifth-Rank ability user, and you dare to be so arrogant..."

"Do you think the berserk Qi and Blood Power of these inner elixirs is that easy to soothe..."

"You must be crazy for fierce beast inner elixirs. Do you think you're Aaron Helens?..."

After a moment of silence, the surrounding ability users spoke up one after another. Their eyes were full of disdain as they looked at Zhou Bai, clearly not trusting him.

Xu Xiu was also a bit dazed as he looked at Zhou Bai, feeling somewhat hesitant. But thinking of Zhou Bai's methods and character, he felt it might not be impossible.

"You don't believe me? Then take a look!"

Zhou Bai wasn't surprised that everyone would doubt him.

Then, Zhou Bai quickly grabbed Xu Xiu next to him. "Don't resist!"

After saying that, Zhou Bai circulated his golden Dutian Divine Thunder power into Xu Xiu's body.

The berserk Qi and Blood Power in Xu Xiu's body immediately acted like mice seeing a cat, quickly calming down and becoming extremely gentle.

In just a few minutes, Xu Xiu's aura became calm, and there was no longer any berserk Qi and Blood Power in his body.

"God Bai... it's... it's really gone, those berserk Qi and Blood Powers..."

Feeling the peaceful spiritual power in his body, Xu Xiu's face was filled with wild joy as he spoke excitedly.

"Thank—thank you, God Bai! With this berserk Qi and Blood Power purified, I can prepare to break through to the Fifth-Rank immediately!"

"Holy crap, this Thunder Kid is actually legit..."

"It seems the purification effect is even more thorough than Aaron Helens'..."

"Good, good, good! Thunder Kid, five it is! Don't go back on your word, purify mine first..."

Realizing that the berserk Qi and Blood Power in Xu Xiu's body had really been purified, the surrounding ability users exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with joy.

None of them were fools; they could naturally tell that this wasn't an act but the real deal.

Immediately, a Sixth-Rank ability user came before Zhou Bai, handed over five sixth-tier fierce beast inner cores, and asked Zhou Bai to help purify the berserk Qi and Blood Power.

Zhou Bai naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. After taking the fierce beast inner elixirs, he began purifying with his Thunder Power.

On the high platform not far away, Aaron Helens' face suddenly turned gloomy upon seeing this scene.

He hadn't expected that Zhou Bai would dare to use the same method as him to collect fierce beast inner elixirs.

Moreover, this guy was charging five fewer than him.

Aaron Helens felt as if he had eaten something disgusting; he was revolted.
