This kid!! It’s him!

Behind March, Yiling’s eyes were out on stalks and she looked in disbelief.
The same was true of Joey. No one would have thought that it would be Garen, who was still persevering.
Nora’s face was solemn as he stared at Garen, who was in the beam. No one knew what was going through his mind. Several people behind him were also whispering amongst one another and two of them seemed to recognize Garen’s face.

It’s that man! He’s from Scarlet Snow Sect!
A disciple stepped forward and whispered to Nora.

Scarlet Snow Sect?
Nora narrowed his eyes and glanced at March. Sure enough, a faint smile appeared on March’s face.
He’s just slightly better in regenerative power! Is it worth it to be this happy?

When it came upon him that Scarlet Snow Sect would definitely win the cumulative score, he was in a bad mood.

Yeah, he’s only ‘slightly’ better. There’s really nothing worth to be this happy. It’s just that I feel like curling my lips. Do you have any opinion about that?
March replied with a chuckle.
After the previous surprise, the group of people quickly managed their emotions. After all, they were Energy Machinists who had seen much of the world and so, their ability to control themselves was very good.
The only exception was Wade, who still looked indifferent. He was still not moved by Garen’s persistence. It was only that his expression just now hardened for an instant but had quickly returned to normal at this moment.
Time ticked past in seconds and minutes. Garen sat in the beam of light with his eyes closed and was totally oblivious with what was happening outside.
He only focused on observing the corrosive radiation effects on the surface of the body. Persevering until now, winning the first place was affirmative. But this referred to regenerative power and he could not be sure about the other items.
Therefore, he must pull away his distance from other people on this item.
The constitution of Hellfrost Peacock Technique was very powerful, especially in terms of regenerative power, which was even terrific. He could faintly absorb a small part of this external corrosive radiation and transformed it into his own energy with the devouring ability of the Hellfrost Peacock Technique.
Seconds and minutes ticked away again. Soon, more than ten minutes went by again.
The group of people stared at Garen and finally saw some faint signs of him unable to persevere any more. The surface of his skin was a faint reddish color and his forehead was slightly sweaty.
March stared at Garen while listening to the disciples at the back briefing him on Garen.

This man is called Garen. He came in with Joey and Yiling’s team. His natural talent was quite good and he was also a talent who was bought in from the Central Main City. Back then, even the elder’s Three Hearted Disciple personally went to welcome him. But due to the speed of his breakthrough was somewhat slow recently, he was temporarily ignored. We did not expect him to suddenly emerge again.


Garen?
March nodded.
This time it was his one-person effort that redeemed the losing battle. After this had ended, go and ask him to come over and join us.
He did not care how Yiling and the others and Garen separated, but at least Garen now brought glory to everyone and also stabilized the position of the team in the first place. Hence, it was necessary to directly draw him to their side.

Understood.
The disciple nodded.
Boom!!
At this moment, Garen finally could not hold out. He was shot out of the red light and staggered on the ground. After retreating for more than a dozen steps to buffer the huge force, only then did he stabilized his body. His face was flushed red and he opened his eyes.

The first round of testing is over.

The invigilator got up and spoke in a low voice this time.

Now, it’s time to start give out the rewards.
He waved one hand and out of it suddenly shot a black ball. The ball was divided into three parts in mid-air, and then the three parts were split into hundreds more, darting toward the hands of the Energy Machinists below respectively.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Beams of black light dragged out a black track of line and fell into the hands of each Energy Machinists.
Almost at the same time, everyone got their own prize.
March, Wade and Nora, all three obtained a perfect version of gene modification fluid without knowing what attribute it would alter. The three faces were of different expressions.
But at this time, they were not paying attention to the modification fluid in their hands. Although this thing was precious, it was not like they did not have it. They were currently more concerned with the first prize, the modification essence.

Sure enough…that guy got it.
Nora huffed coldly. From the disciple’s remarks just now, he also knew that Garen was probably one of the murderers who had earlier killed two of the talented disciples from their sect. At this moment, seeing the enemy winning made his mood worse.
Yiling and Joey stared at the test tube of light pink liquid in Garen’s hand. Both of them showed a trace of irrepressible desire.

Brother March!
Yiling stepped forward and whispered to March from behind,
The gene modification essence could not be absorbed immediately. It will take at least half a month to be slowly diluted and absorbed. And if the general constitution has not reached a certain level, there is no way to absorb it. And so, the effect on Garen is much lesser than that on senior brother. It is better that we buy it from him. With enough money, he can buy the right gene fluid. Senior brother can also get the appropriate modification essence.


This… doesn’t seem proper.
March obviously wanted it. His face showed that he was moved but he pretended that it was difficult to do such a thing.

It’s okay as long as we don’t treat Garen shabbily on the price.
Yiling smiled.
It is also considered as a matter of taking what one needs, which is good for both parties. If it is inconvenient for senior brother to cut the deal, we can help you do it.

March was silent. He looked at Garen, who was observing the test tube in his hand, and did not say anything. After a while, he let out a long sigh.

Go ahead, and remember, don’t undercut junior brother Garen.


I understand.
There was a smile on Yiling’s face.
March, this scum appeared to agree, but in fact, he could not offer a definite price. Obviously he wanted Yiling to spend her own money first. On the surface, he said not to undercut Garen, but as a matter of fact, this scum was extremely stingy. If the price was enormous, this guy would never fork out any money.
Although Yiling was scolding him on the inside, but in order to please March to help her in the crucial point of the test, she could only put up with it.
She covertly signalled Joey with her eyes and the two walked directly from the side toward Garen.
At this time, Garen had left the crowd alone and went to the edge of an obelisk. He was sitting there, waiting for the second phase of the test. Seeing the two coming, a flash of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Especially at Joey, who had actually snatched his loot before. Who knew what he was coming over to do?

What business do the two of you have?
He spoke up without waiting for the two to come to a halt.
If there’s nothing, you can leave. I still need to rest here for the next test.


Don’t say like that.
Joey grinned.
We are a group of companions. That sounds like an outsider. Team leader Yiling is here to do you a big favor.


A big favor?
Garen smiled and said noncommittally,
Just say what you have to say. Don’t waste time.


We’ll go straight to the point. Brother March wants to buy the gene modification essence. Just mention a price.
Yiling ran out of patience and directly said. There were also some disciples of the likes of Garen in the sect. They might be viewed as elite by the average disciple, but these old disciples had seen many of such disciples. Every year, there were at least a dozen talents send over from the City of Nagadako. However, hardly any of them would really make it. Not to mention that she herself was originally one of the talents recruited from the City of Nagadoka, but up to this point, she was still stuck at Level Five without any progress.
It was increasingly difficult for Energy Machinists to advance as they progress further, especially after Level Five. The resources needed to be consumed each step was simply an astronomical figure. Moreover, the resources consumed could not guarantee a break through. The demand for computing power was far too high. To achieve Three Hearted was simply a huge threshold of qualitative change. If one was careless, being stuck for a hundred years was also normal.
Even if it was smooth, one could not even break through quickly without a few decades. Even though Garen had talent, with everything going smoothly, it would also take at least ten years or more to break through to Level Five, not to mention there were also a difference within Level Five itself.
When Garen advanced up to that point, she would have already entered the resonance level.
Generally, for Level Fives who wanted to reach the resonance stage, if there was not more than one hundred years, they better forget about it.
Hence, she was not afraid to offend Garen at all. Level Five Energy Machinists were not the same as Level Five pilots. When Energy Machinists reached Level Five, they were equivalent to at least two Level Five pilots. The combat power of the experimental body would also bring with it a Level Five energy field and could even reach the combat power of resonance level. That was not something the pilot could fight against.

The modification fluid essence?
Garen raised his eyebrows slightly.
I’m sorry. I don’t intend to sell it.

He did not always feel good about this two persons. Although it was the two who brought him out of the sect, but he was entrapped by them halfway. There was not the slightest mutual affection and there was still some resentment left in him with nowhere to vent.
This time, they even wanted to come and buy the essence in his hand?

You can’t absorb this thing anyway. The concentration is too high. It will be better to choose a lower level gene fluid that will help you more. How about this? I’ll offer two million crystal stones.
Yiling frowned and said.

Two million?
Garen laughed. The price of the essence was previously marked at tens of millions. This woman wanted to buy the essence for two million? She really expected him to be a pushover.

How? Too little?
Yiling’s intention was indeed to push down the price. With the price pushed down, she could benefit from the price difference.
Two million is already quite good. Once you walk out of here with this thing, do you think you can safely bring it back to base without our protection? There are so many people who are now aiming at this thing in your hand.
She smirked.

Yeah. You have to understand that without our protection, you are now an easy target for people.
Joey also laughed by the side.

You two can leave now. Not selling.
Garen shook his head. What a joke. If he were to sell it at such a price, he would definitely be silly. Not to mention, he could actually use this thing.
His initial choice was the speed modification fluid. As an Energy Machinist, protecting one’s own life was of utter importance. The speed modification liquid essence could raise two standard units at a time. This was simply a terrific plus point. Compared with potential points, he could totally use this type of way to improve his physical fitness.
Unfortunately, it could only be used once in each level.

Brother Garen, this is brother March’s intention.
Yiling’s face was beginning to look unsightly. It was not the first time she had done such a thing. Most of the time, she succeeded. For those times she had failed, it was generally due to the other party’s background. However, this guy, Garen, a newbie who had just entered the sect for a few years and did not have any strong background, actually dared to resist up front and talked back to them.

If you help senior brother this time, presumably brother March will also remember this favor of yours. We will also remember your act of kindness this time.
