Chapter 3321: Help Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Upon hearing that, the expressions of the few people present changed slightly. This kid was indeed strong, but his words were a bit too arrogant. Although they felt unconvinced, no one wanted to be the first to speak up, so they just looked a little displeased. "How about this, three hundred thousand." Huh? Everyone was stunned and looked at Adam in confusion, not understanding what he meant. "I’ll help you subdue the spirit construct, three hundred thousand per person. How about it?" What? At once, everyone in the Great Hall turned their eyes to Adam, as if trying to see right through him. So arrogant? Could he help them complete their mental strength construct? If he really had that ability, would he even need money? "Not interested? Forget it then." Adam felt a bit nervous and gripped the rune in his hand, ready to run. "Wait!" A Tier 4 oracle stopped Adam, "Three hundred thousand! I’ll pay!" Tier 4 and Tier 5 oracles were already considered among the top tier in this small city, and most of them came from well-off families. If Adam could really help them, spending three hundred thousand dollars was not expensive at all. After all, just the entrance fee to the seventh layer cost one hundred and fifty thousand, and even after paying that, one might not capture a single spirit construct after more than ten attempts. Adam slowly turned his head toward that oracle, his face slightly stiffening. Crap! Why did it have to be him? Augustine! The City Lord’s nephew! He had shown great talent in spirit control from a young age and was known throughout the city as a genius. The two people beside Augustine should be his guards. If he offended Augustine, that would spell serious trouble! "I didn’t bring the money with me. I’ll pay you once we’re out." "So it’s Mr. Augustine." Adam forced himself to stay calm, bowed slightly toward Augustine, and said, "Alright, then let’s begin." Augustine looked at Adam, half in doubt. Three hundred thousand was nothing to him. Too cheap, in fact. As long as it worked, even a hundred times that amount was worth it. He had been stuck at the threshold of advancing to Tier 5 oracle for over three months. It was extremely frustrating. If he could recruit a Tier 7 heroic spirit, his strength would increase greatly. Then the advancement ritual held by the church at the end of the month would no longer be a problem. By then, he would naturally become the successor of the City Lord’s mansion and participate in its affairs. Augustine frowned and asked Adam, "What do I need to do?" "Just do what you usually do. Leave the rest to me." Augustine glanced up and down at Adam. "Alright!" He answered straightforwardly. A blue spiritual construct long sword appeared in his hand, and he rushed straight toward the nearest spirit construct. The two guards immediately focused their attention, staying alert and ready to act at any time. They could tell that with Augustine’s current strength, he was still a bit short of completing the spirit brand for a Tier 7 construct. All he could do was keep practicing, improving bit by bit, and maybe, with a bit of luck, he would succeed one day. "Whoosh!" Augustine stared at the Tier 7 spirit construct before him and quickly closed the distance. Huh?! Suddenly, countless fine sealing chains appeared all over the spirit construct’s body! The chains tightly bound the heroic spirit in place, leaving it unable to move even an inch. "Chi!!!" Augustine slashed forward with all his strength! "Chi!!" A deep mark appeared on the spirit construct’s body, but healed in the blink of an eye. However, its form dimmed slightly and remained bound in place by the dark sealing chains, unable to move. It worked! It couldn’t fight back or dodge! Seeing this, Augustine was overjoyed. He glanced at Adam from the corner of his eye and raised his sword again, continuously slashing at the spirit construct. He wasn’t sure how Adam had done it, but it was clear Adam had helped him trigger a bug! The spirit construct was completely immobilized, unable to move or call for its allies. It was simply bound in place by the sealing chains, taking hit after hit from Augustine’s attacks. No pressure at all! Augustine swung his sword more than twenty times in a row. The heroic spirit’s figure dimmed to an extreme, and he suddenly raised his hand, pressing a faintly purple Heroic Spirit Orb onto the spirit construct. "Swish!" The heroic spirit was absorbed into the Spirit Orb. Done! The whole process took no more than five minutes! Augustine floated back down to the ground, full of excitement. He examined the Heroic Spirit Orb in his hand over and over, grinning from ear to ear. "Impressive!" Augustine looked up at Adam. "I’ll have two more later. Let me rest a bit and recover my mental strength first." Without waiting for Adam to reply, Augustine began meditating on the spot under the watchful eyes of his guards, restoring his mental strength. The other oracles who saw Augustine’s success turned their excited gazes toward Adam. Was there such a method? And they just happened to witness it? Only three hundred thousand—grabbing this chance was definitely a profit! At once, almost all the oracles there quickened their steps toward Adam. Augustine’s two guards also looked at Adam in puzzlement. Who exactly was this kid? Even with their Tier 7 oracle strength, they couldn’t see through him at all. Yet the aura he revealed now felt entirely ordinary, at best a Tier 2 oracle. How did he do it? ... An hour later. Adam’s spiritual consciousness returned to his body within the magic array on the seventh floor of the Holy Spirit Temple. Then came the settlement stage. Adam swallowed hard and quickly did the math — he had earned over four million in just one trip through the seventh-layer teleportation passage! So much money! This speed of earning made his heart pound wildly. Wasn’t this faster than robbing? The priests maintaining order around the magic array found it strange, glancing repeatedly in Adam’s direction. Why did that group all leave the array at the same time, and why were they talking about money transactions? The Holy Spirit Temple did not interfere in personal trades, so the priests only wondered silently to themselves. Soon after, Adam, carrying a heavy bag of gold coins, hurried with Fang Heng to the Chamber of Commerce. The highest-grade holy gemstone. One cost a full hundred million and could theoretically contain ten thousand Tier 7 soul warrior spirits. The Chamber of Commerce only had one in stock, and it required a reservation. They couldn’t afford it yet. They settled for the lower-grade version costing one million each. Together with the other tools needed for refining the soul warrior spirits and higher-tier Heroic Spirit Orbs, the four million Adam had just earned was soon gone. Adam was now at peak excitement. A Tier 7 heroic spirit! Just two days ago, that was something he couldn’t even dream of. Now, with the Shadow God’s help, he was about to gain complete control over a Tier 7 heroic spirit! Even after a full day of work, Adam didn’t feel tired at all. He was completely energized and jogged all the way back to the academy. Zane and Fang Heng, attached to Adam, communicated with him quietly through mental strength. "Brother Fang, the tail following behind—no problem?" "Hmm, sent by Augustine. Doesn’t seem hostile for now. Adam’s background is clean, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Let’s just watch for now."
