1681 The Green Light from the Sand Castle! Of course, these contestants could turn them down. But those who did agree would receive many resources from the Spirit Guards and City Guards. When the Indigo Azure Guard Captain and Raging Waves Guard Captain worked with Lin Yuan, they had obtained high-quality Bronze feys from him to nurture their new recruits. Although it was dangerous being a Spirit Guard, they would handsomely compensate the families of any Spirit Guard who had passed away while on duty. !! Lin Yuan’s parents had been two Spirit Guards with Platinum main feys. They were considered very average among the Spirit Guards. They had obtained a significant amount of aid in the form of resources from the Spirit Guards when they were alive. When they died, their contributions were compensated with a source-type item and 100 Radiance dollars. Lin Yuan and Chu Ci had not immediately gained access to these resources because their parents had entrusted them to Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li. The two of them became the siblings’ guardians. Their parents had intended for the siblings to only receive the money once they matured and understood the importance of money management. It was when Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li left the Xia Region and because they had given notice to the Spirit Guards that Lin Yuan and Chu Ci received the money from Dong Hai because they were left without guardians. Moreover, he had not given them all the money at once. Lin Yuan received 100 Radiance dollars annually. This was a large mountain of riches. But recently, the Spirit Guards had increased their budget on this, and the benefits were becoming increasingly better. This year, they introduced free healthcare for the families of Spirit Guards. If Lin Yuan and Chu Ci were regular people, they would be able to live opulently with their annual grant of 100 Radiance dollars. After all, after working in the spirit lifeform store for a year, he had only managed to earn a few tens of thousands of Federation dollars. They amounted to less than even 1 Radiance dollar. The number of contestants at the center had fallen to 500 people. Yet, Gao Feng had yet to be targeted. He looked at the contestants and sighed. If not for the fact that he was trying to conserve power, he would have been able to easily use his fey with the Barren bloodline to take control of the situation and end the test. However, Gao Feng needed to keep his fey with the Barren bloodline a secret for the sake of the impending fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group. Li Nao had lost an arm and half a leg during his fight against the alien beast army. At that moment, Li Nao was leaning against one of the ditches. The Rotten Spotted Sky Dog was standing right next to Li Nao. Given that Li Nao had been using his full strength against the alien beast tide, the Rotten Spotted Sky Dog did not have much spiritual power left, in spite of Gao Feng’s help. Li Nao was currently at the edge of the base. Thus, he would be next after the power offense-type spirit qi professionals at the outermost layers were devoured by the alien beast tide. There were only about 300 contestants left. Li Nao felt that he could no longer hold on. He sighed faintly. At first, he had been poised to win. But, he had given up his advantage for the sake of the team and allowed the chance to recover his membership in the Radiance Hundred Sequence to slip through his fingers. Before the test started, Li Nao never saw himself doing such a thing. But now, he finally understood the weight of responsibility. Four Horn Demons that were completely out of spirit qi charged toward him, and Li Nao slowly closed his eyes. It seemed that it was not his fate to rejoin the Radiance Hundred Sequence through this test. But he had done what was right. Thus, despite regret gnawing at him, he would not feel guilty or reproachful when he remembered this event in years to come. At that moment, Li Nao felt the area below his body soften. The horns that should have punctured him had struck a small batch of sand instead. Li Nao had already sunken into the quicksand. Despite being under the sand, Li Nao did not feel suffocated in the slightest because the sand had left air pockets around his nostrils. The sand granules could exert force on their own. Thus, Li Nao would not be able to breathe the sand in. Li Nao immediately realized that Black had saved him. Soon, Li Nao felt the sand pushing him upward until he was eventually pushed out of the ground and into the sky. Suddenly, light flooded Li Nao’s vision. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young man wearing a silver mask standing in front of him while he himself was sitting in a crumpled heap on the ground. After the fight with the alien beasts, his clothes were in tatters, leaving a part of his body completely exposed. Li Nao was immediately overcome with embarrassment. He also realized that the mask that Black was wearing was different from the one in his memory. Black’s mask was also no longer just silver like it had been on Star Web. It now had faint patterns all over it. Li Nao had seen this mask at the 100 Buildings but had assumed that it was being worn by one of Black’s less committed fans. Yet, it turned out to be Black himself. Li Nao was about to express his gratitude when he saw that Black was already holding out a set of spirit qi clothes for him. However, Li Nao had already lost an arm and a leg. Hence, he could no longer wear clothes on his own. Suddenly, Li Nao remembered the changing rooms he had read about in inappropriate books. Is Black going to help me change clothes? Please no! Lin Yuan had no idea what was running through Li Nao’s head. He had helped Zhang Xiaobai to regrow his hand in Millstone Town. Moreover, when he fought against Chen Hongfeng on Star Tower, he had healed the hole in his shoulder bone. It was no longer a secret that Lin Yuan had healing abilities. Just as Li Nao started to blush from the inappropriate thoughts flashing through his mind, Lin Yuan raised his hand and a green beam landed on Li Nao. Soon, the pain in Li Nao’s body started to wane and his superficial cuts and injured internal organs started to heal. Then, Li Nao’s arm and leg started to feel itchy at the point they were missing. Li Nao looked down and saw his arm and leg slowly regrowing. This made Li Nao widen his eyes. There were too many rumors about Black on Star Web. Li Nao had noticed Black but was skeptical of most of the rumors. But now, he realized that most of the rumors were real. Moreover, the rumors did not live up to reality. Li Nao finally knew why Black called himself a healing-type spirit qi professional despite having such powerful combat abilities.
