Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Shocked Li Rong!
"No, it's just that his attack pattern was getting obvious and his strength was decreasing because of the injury I caused to his internal organs."
Noah shook his head in dejection and replied while sheathing his sword back before sending it to the storage ring. Since beasts have simple attack patterns, fighting against them is not that lucrative.
Looking up, Noah saw that it was still afternoon and they had plenty of time to continue their adventures.
Looking back Noah decided to leave the body of the beast alone as he did not have any plans on eating gorilla meat.
"Let's find another one. Do you mind finding one for me, I will keep my soul power sealed while I train my body."
Hearing his words, Elysia smiled without saying anything and just pointed her finger in a random direction. Her eyes stayed on the book she was obviously not reading because it was upside down.
*Woosh*
Seeing the direction she had pointed towards, Noah launched himself purely using his physical strength.
The day continued as Noah's training progressed at a tremendous speed.
After fighting and killing a couple of beasts In the same manner, Noah could finally fight against a peak Qi condensation beast as an equal without getting injured.
"It's about time, we should head back."
Looking at the moonlight shining in the dark sky, Noah stretched his back and made his way back to the city along with Elysia who was busy looking at a book in her hands.
Noah looked the same as he did when he entered the forest.
As for the scars and bruises he had received form the training, they were already healed by now.
His clothes looked brand new, without any speck of dirt. This was because of the seals he had placed on them.
Even though No one could see through the secrets of his robes, this piece of clothing was already powerful enough to not shred or be damaged even under the attack of a foundation establishment stage.
There was also a feature of defensive shield but Noah had temporarily deactivated it.
Passing through the city gate Noah made his way towards the Guild. He had enough training for a while.
Now he wanted to continue his pill making session and breaking through the Next realm.
"Here these are the rewards for your mission."
Upon entering the hall Noah could see Li Rong dealing with a mercenary.
His eyes scanned through the crowd by instincts.
Since it was already night time most of the people in the mercenary hall were already back and were enjoying food and meals.
There were no food and alcohol facilities in the mercenary hall. All of them had to bring their own things if they wanted to eat here.
Noah ignored the people and made his way towards the counter where Li Rong had already spotted him upon his arrival.
Even though there was a trace of astonishment in her eyes, she did not let it show openly.
She was surprised to see Noah coming back unharmed. She thought that he did not complete any missions and came back after playing around.
Her dislike for the boy was further intensified. Her mind was filled with all kinds of negative things that he might have done after taking the mission.
A trace of anger and coldness flashed through her eyes but before she could say or think anything Noah made his move.
With his signature cold look, Noah gazed dead in her eyes and raised his hands.
His actions made Li Rong freeze on the spot. She snorted coldly in her heart thinking he was going to touch her but then…
*Thud*
*Clink! Clink*
*Clatter!*
She wanted to step back to avoid being touched before saw the ring on Noah's shine a little and a few objects started to fall down from the air.
Her eyes widened as she recognized the storage ring.
She was further confused thinking what Kind of background this mysterious young boy had.
The boy in front of her was like a closed book sealed with the hardest glue, she was unable to see through him no matter how hard she tried.
"Calculate the reward."
In a plain tone, Noah spoke out causing her to come out of her thoughts.
She hurriedly looked down trying to hide the blush creeping on her face. She was embarrassed realizing she was thinking too much. Noah noticed that but did not think of sparing another glance.
He looked around feeling several gaze landing on him, there were different emotions behind those gaze.
Some of them were looking at him with fearful gaze, while the others were looking at him with greed, curiosity and even lust.
He could guess the latter group of people were not present when he did a little demonstration of his power.
The people who were fearful of him seeing him gazing towards them hurriedly looked away.
Their actions were caught by the other mercenaries, arousing their curiosity.
Looking back, Noah saw Li Rong dumbly looking at the materials she was given.
"Did you complete all the quests in a day?" The hint of disbelief could not stay hidden under her indifferent tone. She almost became in denial hearing his next words.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
Li Rong was speechless at his dry tone and could not help but complain in her heart.
'Of course there is something wrong, your entire existence is wrong. How the fuck did you kill a level seven Qi Condensation Pork Choy. He must have asked someone to help him, well it has nothing to do with me. The sooner this guy dies the better..'
The balls of the Pork Choy were in very high demand in guild missions for obvious reasons.
The way she was able to discern the level of the beast from its balls was because each part of the beast gives off an aura that also tells the cultivation it had before its death.
While grumbling she continued to count the items he had brought back and soon her eyes turned lifeless.
In her mind she was easily able to calculate the value of these products.
"Here this is your award 15,925 low grade spirit, for the total reward.
There is also some extra amount of the materials here which I have added in the amount for their market value.
Is that fine?"
After coming out of her shock, Li Rong gulped and passed him the money bag with little tremor in her hands.
"That's fine-"
Noah nonchalantly placed the stones back in his storage ring. He turned around and left the guild under Li Rong's dazed and lost look.
Since everyone was talking among themselves, no one heard Li Rong's meek voice.
Some who were still looking in their direction found her actions weird, they had never seen her act like that in front of someone let alone a boy.
Their minds turned and various imaginations came to life. They could only think that their ice block princess was weak to dominating boys.
Everyone looked at the counter with a knowing look, their mind was filled with their own guesses and imagination.
