Chapter 360: Hidden Danger
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several pillars of water shot out from the lake; they were scattered around the lake.
The water pillars dissipated, and a large number of resources and hidden fragments floated in the air.
‘The concentration outbreak has started!’
Xu Ning immediately reacted and rushed to the nearest resource outbreak point.
The people from the various factions who had been waiting for a long time also frantically struggled for resources.
Whoosh!
After approaching an outbreak point, Xu Ning grabbed the air and pulled a large amount of resources and hidden fragments into his spatial ring.
During this process, other rank eight arcanists also approached and fought with Xu Ning over the resources.
However, Xu Ning was the fastest to act. Most of the resources and hidden fragments at the outbreak point were already in Xu Ning’s pockets.
Only a small portion of it was divided among the other rank eight arcanists.
Xu Ning looked at the other competitors and saw the wariness in their eyes.
However, although they were hostile to each other, they were relatively restrained and did not fight each other.
After all, this was the beginning of the outbreak of resources. There was no need to risk their lives.
If they were injured now, they would miss the opportunity to obtain more resources.
After Xu Ning finished fighting for one resource point, he was about to turn and fight for other outbreak points, but it was too late.
While he was seizing this outbreak point, the others were also frantically seizing other outbreak points. The other outbreak points were also instantly divided up.
‘The competition for resources is indeed fierce…’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
After this fight, Xu Ning returned to the island and waited.
There would be breaks between each round of outbreak. Now that the first round was over, they had to wait for the next round to begin before they could continue to compete.
‘When the resources burst out just now, all of the resources and hidden fragments seemed to have surged up from the bottom of the lake, but they actually appeared out of thin air under the lake before surging out… This is a spatial technique.’
Xu Ning thought back to the scene just now.
‘Before the next round erupts, I should sense spatial fluctuations in advance. If I do use this to increase my reaction speed, then it will greatly increase my harvest…’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
The resource outbreak was still ongoing.
One day, two days, three days…
Soon, there was only one day left before the tower was sealed.
During this period, the accumulation of resources allowed everyone to gain a lot.
Especially the rank eight arcanists from various forces, they used their strength to obtain a large amount of resources and hidden fragments.
At the same time, as the day of the closure of the tower approached, the competition between the various forces also increased by more than one level.
In the past, the competition for resources was relatively restrained, but now, there were violent fights and even looting.
Using violent methods to force the weak to hand over their spatial rings was easier.
It was also because of this that some rank six and even rank seven arcanists had already given up on competing for resources in advance.
They had already found a hiding place in advance, waiting for the tower to close before being safely ejected.
Although they were giving up a lot of resources by doing this, they could at least ensure that they would not give up the resources they had already obtained.
AS for Xu Ning, he had gained a lot during this period of time.
The sudden outbreak of resources exceeded Xu Ning’s expectations.
Xu Ning initially expected that when he left the tower, he would have more than 80 million energy left.
But now, his energy reserves had reached 100 million.
He was still 20 million units of energy away from advancing to rank nine and understanding the origin of the Arcanist World.
With the fact that there were more hidden fragments popping out recently, as it was close to closing time of the Arcanist Tower, with the amount of hidden fragments in Xu Ning’s hands, he could exchange for 20 million units of energy of resources from the Gao family as long as he exited the tower.
At that time, Xu Ning would advance to rank nine and return to the Martial Arts World.
Boom!
Another round of resources burst forth.
Xu Ning had already sensed the spatial fluctuation in advance. He quickly occupied an outbreak point and put away all the hidden fragments that were spewed out.
‘There are no more arcanist resources this time… They are all hidden fragments.’
Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘If I can piece together these hidden fragments, I can determine the coordinates of the other outer worlds, but I don’t really know how to piece them together…’
However, Xu Ning didn’t care about this. He didn’t need to do this.
The resource outbreak continued.
The closer it was to the closure of the tower, the more frequent the outbreaks would be.
In between the outbreaks, two people were talking on another island not far from Xu Ning’s island.
“Senior Brother, the number of resources and hidden fragments that the Gao family’s rank eight arcanist obtained during this period of time is ridiculous!”
The person who spoke was a man in a green shirt. He was more than 30 years old and was an elementary rank eight arcanist.
The man he called “Senior Brother” had a thick beard and a fierce face. He was a peak rank eight arcanist.
“Should we just deal with him and take his spatial ring?”
A look of ruthlessness appeared in the green shirt man’s eyes.
“It’s hard.”
The senior brother of the green shirt man said, “Although we have more people, we may not be his opponent.”
“What a shame…”
The green shirt man looked regretful.
“How is it a shame?”
A deep smile appeared on the senior brother of the green shirt man’s face.
“Huh?”
The man in the green shirt didn’t understand why his senior brother was smiling.
“There is no way to snatch his resources in the tower, but after leaving, there will be a chance.”
The green shirt senior brother said.
“Wouldn’t it be harder after we get out?”
The man in the green shirt said, “After we leave, people from the various factions will gather together. It is impossible to snatch his hidden fragments at that time. Moreover, after leaving the Arcanist Tower, no one can attack openly, otherwise it will break the balance of power in the city and we will be immediately targeted by other factions.”
“In the past, that was indeed true. Even if we are from the Green Frame Institute, we can’t resist the combined forces of other factions…”
The senior brother lowered his voice. “It’s just that this time is different.”
“I have heard some news that after the tower is sealed, there will be a major upheaval in the city.”
“The Green Frame Institute will act as the leader and control the situation of the entire city. We will make all factions hand over all the hidden fragments they have collected over the years and refine them together in order to obtain the secret to advance to rank ten!”
The senior brother’s eyes were full of excitement.
“Really?!”
The man in the green shirt was shocked. “Does this mean that the Institute Head will become the first rank ten arcanist in hundreds of years?”
“That’s right!”
The senior brother nodded.
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed heartily.
