Chapter 358: Accumulation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the enemies approached, Gao Qixuan activated his arcane domain to the extreme to protect himself.
A rank seven arcane domain only had a small coverage area, making it difficult to pull enemies into it. The greatest use of an arcane domain was to use it to protect oneself and allow one’s combat power to receive a boost.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gao Qixuan fought one against three and released his arcane techniques frantically.
His fighting style was extremely aggressive. He didn’t care whether he would be injured or not. He just wanted to use his full strength to kill the enemies in front of him.
The three pursuers were a little hesitant after seeing Gao Qixuan’s unrelenting attitude.
They held the advantage, so they didn’t want to be dragged down by Gao Qixuan.
‘I can’t hold on any longer!’
As the battle continued, Gao Qixuan began to struggle.
He gradually realized that he might be reaching his end.
“Arghh!”
Gao Qixuan roared and was ready to kill an enemy without caring for the consequences.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, right at this moment, a line of blood suddenly appeared on the chests of the three enemies in front of Gao Qixuan. Immediately after, the three of them fell over and died.
‘What’s going on?’
Gao Qixuan was shocked.
He quickly looked around and only then did he notice Xu Ning was approaching him.
“Xu Ning!”
Gao Qixuan slapped his bald head with his eyes wide open.
“You saved me?”
Gao Qixuan immediately asked as Xu Ning walked over.
“If not me, who else?”
Xu Ning smiled and asked in return.
He had a good relationship with Gao Qixuan, so when he saw that Gao Qixuan was about to be ganged up on and killed, he immediately lent a helping hand.
“You were so far away just now, but you killed three rank seven experts with one blow… Could it be that you have advanced to rank eight?”
Gao Qixuan asked.
“With the help of the abundant resources in this tower, I broke through to rank eight.”
Xu Ning responded.
Gao Qixuan took a deep breath and said, “Impressive!”
Gao Qixuan knew that Xu Ning was younger than him. Xu Ning’s overall aptitude was unmatched, even in the City of Arcanists.
“How did you get into a conflict with these people?”
Xu Ning took off and put away the three spatial rings on the dead pursuers.
Because Xu Ning attacked quickly, the three of them couldn’t react at all, otherwise they would inevitably crush their spatial rings and let all the resources in their spatial rings flow into the space-time turbulence.
“After coming to this independent space, I found a hidden fragment half the size of a fist in the trunk of a special giant tree. When I found it, I was very excited, so I held it and examined it for a while…”
“But while I was examining it, these three people noticed me, so they planned to secretly ambush me. Fortunately, I avoided their ambush, but they still chased me because they held the advantage in numbers. If you hadn’t come, I might have been killed by the three of them.”
Gao Qixuan still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Just now, he was ready to crush his spatial ring just before he met his death.
“Which faction are they from?”
Xu Ning asked again.
“The Green Frame Institute.”
Gao Qixuan said, “Otherwise, they would not be so domineering.”
“The Green Frame Institute…”
Xu Ning nodded silently.
The Green Frame Institute and the Smoke Rune Institute were the two strongest factions in the city.
“Since we finally found each other, I will follow you.”
Gao Qixuan said.
After experiencing the taste of death just now, he began to worry about wandering alone.
But now that he was with a rank eight master like Xu Ning, his safety was guaranteed.
“Okay…”
Xu Ning thought about it and agreed.
He was now at the peak of rank eight, and his combat power was comparable to an elementary rank nine. There were no opponents that were on par with him in the tower, so bringing Gao Qixuan along was not a big burden.
“Let’s search for more resources and hidden fragments in this independent space, then we can find the teleportation gate and teleport elsewhere.”
Xu Ning said.
“Okay.”
Gao Qixuan agreed with him.
Afterwards, the two continued to search for resources and hidden fragments.
Gao Qixuan knew what to do very well. He did not follow Xu Ning closely as he knew that this would slow down Xu Ning’s speed.
He kept a distance from Xu Ning. When Xu Ning searched one area, he went to the neighboring area.
This way, he would not drag down Xu Ning, while still able to send out a signal if he was in danger.
Two months went by quickly.
Now, there were less than ten days before the closing of the tower.
During this period, as Xu Ning’s realm improved, the amount of resources he had gathered had quickly exceeded 40 million units. He was getting closer and closer to advancing to rank nine.
Entering the tower greatly shortened the time Xu Ning needed to advance.
In addition to collecting resources and hidden fragments, Xu Ning and Gao Qixuan also encountered the main force of the Gao family and joined them.
There were more than sixty people gathered in the Gao family’s team, which accounted for 60% of the people who entered the tower.
Logically speaking, with thousands of independent spaces and random teleportation gates, it was almost impossible to gather so many people.
The reason for this was that in the last twenty days of the Arcanist Tower, people from various independent spaces would be teleported into the only complex independent space in the Arcanist Tower.
This independent space was larger than all other independent spaces, and the environment here was diverse with numerous elements.
In this independent space, the various factions would have a final showdown.
According to past experiences, in this complex space, resources and hidden fragments would appear frequently in the last few days.
Half of the resources they would get from the tower would be obtained during this period of time.
Xu Ning was also prepared for this. He wanted to increase his energy reserves to 80 million before leaving the tower. This way, after leaving the tower and exchanging the hidden fragments, his energy reserves would basically be close to 100 million. At that time, he would truly be one step away from advancing to rank nine.
‘I didn’t expect that obtaining resources in the Arcanist World would be smoother than in the Martial Arts World…’
Xu Ning had only been in the Arcanist World for five years.
Of course, the reason for his success was related to the information given by Duan Huiyao.
Moreover, the resources in the Arcanist World were relatively more concentrated. As long as one was in the core position in the Arcanist World, it was easier to obtain resources than in the Martial Arts World.
“Master Xu Ning, Master Gao Yuji asked you to go over.”
At this moment, someone came to inform Xu Ning.
The Gao family camp had been established in the complex space, and Xu Ning was in his tent.
“I understand.”
Xu Ning responded and walked out of the tent to meet Gao Yuji.
After becoming a rank eight arcanist, Xu Ning became an important force in the Gao family.
