"Fourth-grade life essence?"

  At this moment, not only Chen Yue, but even Yun Jing, looking at the magnificent life essence in the air, had their eyes full of eagerness. Even their breathing became a bit heavy.

  This was a naturally formed fourth-grade life essence, not a defective product randomly fused together.

  You should know that life essences of the same grade could also be divided into perfect ones and defective ones.

  Although low-grade life essences could be fused into high-grade life essences, the fused life essences were all the lowest inferior products with extremely unstable structures. It was okay for those below the third grade, and it wasn't very obvious. But for the third-grade and especially the fourth-grade life essences, the fused defective products were in danger of collapsing at any time.

  The piece that appeared in front of Chen Yue and Yun Jing now, although it was condensed and advanced in an unknown way from the life essence cores of a third-grade primeval beast and a one-star demonic servant, and its specific value was hard to say, it undoubtedly had a stable and complete structure and belonged to the truly perfect category. In terms of value, it was definitely far higher than the defective products synthesized from low-grade ones.

  This was beyond doubt.

  Of course, although the fused defective products were not of high value, the disciple trial didn't care about these. Therefore, there were quite a number of people who could complete the disciple trial in past generations. Otherwise, if it really required perfect fourth-grade life essences, they would have to hunt fourth-grade primeval beasts to obtain them.

  For the vast majority of trial participants who had to run away when facing third-grade primeval beasts, hunting fourth-grade primeval beasts was simply suicidal. The Apostle Association would not set such an obviously suicidal trial.

  The one that Chen Yue encountered now was definitely hard to replicate. One could only say that the third-grade primeval beast overestimated its own ability. Instead of getting any benefits, it lost its life in vain and finally only benefited Chen Yue.

  "How lucky! A perfect fourth-grade life essence..." With this thing, even if he got nothing else, this adventurous attack was already a huge profit.

  After staring at it in a daze for a while, Chen Yue suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise. He felt that since this life essence appeared, both Liuguang and Yingying, the twin demonic servants, had shown a longing emotion. Even the Blade Beast, which had always been indifferent to life essences, was also getting restless...

  Presumably, if the Frozen Rabbit wasn't evolving, it would be added to the list.

  If they could talk, perhaps Chen Yue would have been drowned by their saliva.

  "I didn't expect the charm of the fourth-grade life essence to be so great."

  Chen Yue smiled wryly. These guys were quite picky. They had never liked to eat the fused defective products. So although Chen Yue had previously had thousands of second-grade life essences, he didn't even have a single fused third-grade life essence, all because of these guys' picky eating habits.

  Moreover, they had always been disdainful of first-grade ones. Second-grade life essences were just barely edible and far from being delicious. It was rare for them to all be interested at the same time, but they faced the embarrassing situation of too many people and too little porridge...

  "No, if they want to eat it, they'll have to wait until I complete the trial. With this one, I've already completed one-third of my trial goal at once."

  Raising his eyebrows, Chen Yue thought for a while. Once he made up his mind, he winked at Yun Jing.

  Yun Jing understood and quickly flew over, deftly putting that piece of life essence into the space ring.

  "Roar."

  "Boom."

  ...

  After doing this, Chen Yue tilted his ear and heard the roars of primeval beasts coming from nearby, and they were quickly approaching here.

  Without even looking back, Chen Yue could tell what the situation was.

  This was already deep in the Red Stone Plain. After Chen Yue had appeared for so long, it was impossible not to attract attention. It was just that previously, due to the terrifying coercion of the life essence cores, they couldn't get close. Now that all the life essence cores had either been devoured or flown back to the Spirit Realm, there was no obstacle left, and they rushed over immediately.

  "The harvest this time is far greater than expected. It's time to go back."

  After thinking about it in his mind, in the next moment, Chen Yue rushed forward like lightning. Not long after he left, several huge rocks were thrown over by the nearby Stone Spirit Beasts, creating several big pits.

  His body suddenly accelerated. When passing by Andre's corpse, the Blade Beast picked up his belongings with a flick of its blade. At the same time, Yun Jing also flew back into the subspace.

  Immediately after that.

  "Light Escape."

  After entering the light-transformed state, Chen Yue quickly left, leaving a large group of primeval beasts hovering in confusion at the original place.

  ...

  After returning to the Trial City, Chen Yue quickly went back to his room. After dealing with West who came to inquire about the situation for a while, Chen Yue began to take stock of the gains from this time.

  After finishing the inventory, facing this huge gain, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh:

  Sure enough, killing and robbing were the best ways to get rich overnight.

  In total, Chen Yue had killed five apostles before and after. They were all third-level apostles, and all of their belongings were taken by Chen Yue.

  Those two trash apostles were weak in strength, and their gains were pitifully small. There were only dozens of second-grade life essences and nearly a hundred first-grade life essences. Third-grade life essences were out of the question. I really don't know how they had survived in the past nearly a month.

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  The props left in the space ring were also dilapidated and all came from the exchange system for ordinary apostles. After glancing at them a few times, Chen Yue threw them aside.

  It was different for Andre and the other two. They were powerful, and Andre was a strong man undergoing the disciple trial. What was left in their space rings was the real huge gain this time.

  "There are a total of 1,357 second-grade life essences, 5 third-grade life essences, including 2 defective ones. Well, I won't mention the first-grade life essences."

  When using her powerful computing ability to quickly calculate the gains of life essences, Yun Jing couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

  Such gains were even more than Chen Yue's. All of a sudden, it filled the huge loss caused by summoning the twin demonic servants and there was still a little left.

  "Okay, continue." Hearing this, Chen Yue's face twitched.

  "Next are the props." After a quick glance, Yun Jing reported them one by one: "There are 179 props that are seriously damaged and can't be used anymore. There are 35 props that can still be used after a little repair. However, these props don't seem to be very useful. There are only 17 truly useful and intact props. Among them, there is a Firm Shield."

  "Firm Shield..." Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this and finally let out a long breath after a while: "They are really wealthy."

  Including the ones they had used, there were four Firm Shields in total. These were all disciple-level props. Andre and the others were just ordinary apostles. Where did they get so many points to exchange for them? Even if there were people supporting them from behind, they wouldn't invest so much capital, would they?

  Thinking of this, Chen Yue's eyes scanned the pile of damaged props. When he saw clearly what was inside, he couldn't help but shudder.

  "There are even seven damaged Firm Shields. No, this is definitely abnormal. After using the Firm Shield, even when facing a powerful primeval beast like the Two-Headed Giant-Toothed Leopard, one could retreat calmly. Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be the kind of people who would provoke powerful third-grade primeval beasts. How could there be so many damaged ones?"

  Chen Yue sneered and immediately noticed something unusual.

  "Yun Jing, see if there are any apostle badges inside." After thinking for a while, Chen Yue said in a deep voice.

  Yun Jing replied and looked around for a while. Soon, she found the target.

  "Yes, and there are seven of them."

  "Sure enough, these Firm Shields were obtained from the apostles they killed. It was precisely because of the fierce battles among apostles that the damage rate of the Firm Shields was so high. It was also by obtaining the gains of several apostles that they could get so many life essences, and they even surpassed me." Chen Yue sneered, feeling more at ease about killing Andre and the others.

  After all, Chen Yue adhered to the principle of not attacking others unless they attacked him first. Even though he knew that the Frozen Rabbit had the devouring ability and that by killing a large number of apostles, he could get a large number of life essence cores, Chen Yue didn't do that.

  "These people really deserve to die."

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue's eyes flickered.

  From the belongings of Andre and the others, Chen Yue had a further understanding of the chaos in the trial ground. It seemed that he should be more careful in the future. Things like what happened to Andre definitely couldn't happen again and again.

  "Huh, Chen Yue, look what this is?" Yun Jing suddenly rushed into the pile of props that could still be used after repair, hugged something and flew out, asking curiously.

  The moment he saw clearly what that thing was, Chen Yue's eyes narrowed.

  He was all too familiar with this rock-like prop, but Yun Jing didn't know because she was in the subspace at that time.

  "This should be a deacon-level protective prop." After thinking for a while, Chen Yue described the situation at that time.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yue suddenly remembered where Yun Jing had found this Rock Shield. His heart skipped a beat, and he asked urgently: "Yun Jing, you classified it among the props that can be repaired, which means it can still be used?"

  This was a deacon-level protective prop. Imagining its powerful protective ability, Chen Yue's eyes became extremely eager.

  Yun Jing was also startled by Chen Yue's answer and murmured, "This is actually a deacon-level protective prop."

  Previously, relying on her True Vision Pupil, she quickly divided them into three categories according to the degree of damage. However, she never expected that it was such a powerful thing.

  Suddenly, this somewhat cold stone seemed to become hot to the touch...

  "Well, it can indeed be repaired, but it will probably take three or four days, and it also needs to be charged." Calming down, Yun Jing affirmed.

  Most of the props of the Apostle Association originated from the Garnino civilization. Although many of them had been modified, for Yun Jing, who had the True Vision Pupil and a solid theoretical foundation, it wasn't a big problem to repair them as long as there were sufficient materials.

  Hearing Yun Jing's affirmative reply, Chen Yue was immediately overjoyed. He knew the function of this thing.

  "This prop is definitely not simple. It can't even be exchanged in the Apostle Association of the Tianye Empire, and it can actually be repaired." After calming down, Chen Yue thought to himself.

  The props of the Apostle Association, although they had great effects, were mostly disposable, especially the offensive and protective props. The protective sphere and the Firm Shield were both like this.

  However, Yun Jing's last sentence made Chen Yue frown: "Charged?"

  "Yes, pure energy. I don't know what energy you are using to charge it now, but the best energy is light crystals and high-purity energy crystals." Yun Jing replied with a bit of heartache.

  After all, light crystals and energy crystals were so precious. Last time, several pieces were used to unseal the Blade Beast. At this moment, there were less than five pieces left in her hands. How could this not make the little one, who regarded energy as her life, feel extremely heartbroken?

  Chen Yue smiled when he heard this. He could naturally hear the reluctance in the little one's words. However, after getting along for a while, the relationship between the two had become extremely harmonious.

  After persuading for a while, Yun Jing hesitantly agreed.

  "Life essence, Firm Shield, Rock Shield. The gains this time are really beyond imagination."

  Thinking of the gains this time, Chen Yue became more confident that he could finally obtain the qualification of a power-holding disciple.
