Pop~!
As Li Pu and Long Ren appeared, the portal that had just taken shape shattered like a bubble.
The instance was gone, so of course, the portal couldn’t continue to exist.
"Uh..." xN
For a mont, everyone present was stunned.
This was too coincidental. Had they been waiting near the portal’s location for days, just to rush out as soon as it appeared?
To everyone, this seed the most reasonable explanation.
However, the white-haired elder and middle-aged woman had sowhat strange expressions.
Because as the ones who opened the portal, they knew the situation best.
Even though the portal had seed fully ford just now, it hadn’t actually fully manifested.
In such a condition, people shouldn’t have been able to pass through it.
aning only they knew that these two kids weren’t rescued.
But rather, they rescued themselves by obtaining the instance core.
("If they could save themselves, why call us over...")
("Exactly.")
The two seniors exchanged a glance, shrugging.
But since the reward had already been paid, they had no complaints.
...
minutes later, inside a certain VIP room.
Aside from Li Fan, who had left to have fun after seeing Li Pu safe, the other teachers from the Imperial and Xidu universities were present.
"So, you actually obtained the instance core yourselves to get out?"
"And the timings just happened to coincide with our rescue actions?"
After listening to their explanation, Teacher Bai confird again.
"Yes." x2
Li Pu and Long Ren nodded.
"Haha, that old Lin from He Du was right after all."
"I just didn’t expect that the valley was actually sealing an S-class magical beast."
"You guys are impressive, taking down such a creature."
Teacher Le rubbed his chin, looking appreciative.
Especially as his gaze lingered on Li Pu longer, pondering sothing.
"And I’ve heard that the cores of small elental realms are generally difficult to access."
At this mont, a teacher from the Imperial University spoke.
"Five elental beasts would form a closed loop, and any attack on one would result in all of them swarming the enemy."
"In so ways, their combined strength might be stronger than that Dragon Lady Tree."
"The fact that you managed to take them down and obtain the core is truly impressive."
His words received agreent from many teachers present.
"..." x2
Li Pu and Long Ren exchanged a glance, awkwardly silent.
Many details, they hadn’t explained in detail.
("What beast assault? We didn’t encounter such a thing at all.")
("There was a freak who broke the closed loop from the start, co on.")
Especially Long Ren, who was internally ranting.
The teachers then inquired about the duo’s specific gains from the instance.
Although the Dragon Lady Tree had only undergone two evolutions, and factors like level and strength influence material quality, aning its materials wouldn’t be of the highest tier even if it was S-class.
But since it was S-class material, and they also had so lower-level summoned beasts with low rebirth counts, they were very interested.
However, after so thought, Li Pu decided not to consider selling the Dragon Lady Tree for the ti being.
He’d keep it for his own use first, and if he found he didn’t really need it, he could sell it later.
As for the skill orbs and engraved items, neither of them showcased them since they were already bound.
Once bound, they couldn’t be transferred, so the teachers weren’t interested.
Ultimately, the essence materials of those three elental beasts caught everyone’s eye.
The price offered by the teachers was fair, and it saved them the hassle of selling themselves, which was naturally a good thing.
So the materials sold for a staggering 400,000 Crystal Coins in total, splitting to 200,000 each.
This made Li Pu and Long Ren overjoyed.
After the teachers’ concerns were addressed, the two returned to their respective dorms.
But as Li Pu had anticipated, there was a group waiting in his dorm.
[Howl Howl Pop~]
Upon seeing Li Pu appear, the ugly little wolf affectionately pounced towards him.
It wasn’t Li Pu’s summoned beast yet, so it couldn’t participate in this instance trip.
Now that they had developed feelings for each other, after not seeing Li Pu for a few days, the little wolf beca sowhat listless.
Faced with everyone’s concerned inquiries, Li Pu had no choice but to briefly recount his days stuck in the instance.
After expressing so relief, Wu Guinan also shared what happened on their end.
The team competition has now reached the finals.
Once tomorrow’s match concludes, the cubical token track will start the day after.
Li Pu’s team was eliminated in the first round of the third match.
They tied for the 100th spot with other teams knocked out in this round.
As for Fu Erdai’s team, they had better luck, making it past the first round but fell in the second, tying for the 50th place with other teams.
Overall, the finals currently stand as a four-way tie.
Zhongdu University, Xidu University, a coalition from outside districts, and independent applicants each have a team.
Since they’ve been eliminated, Li Pu isn’t too concerned with results.
If he rembers correctly, the reward for 100th place is 10,000 Crystal Coins.
Divided equally, that’s 2,000 each, which isn’t much for soone with pockets full.
