After being captured by mysterious hands, Ye Zhongming, White-Robe, and Jie Su, along with the White Dragon Horse, were forced to accept an unknown offer. They were then bathed in healing golden sparks within a coffin. After their injuries healed, they were drawn through an energy door into a new environment. There, they were attacked by countless "Toothless Fish" in a stream. After a prolonged and grueling fight, they were suddenly returned to the mysterious mountain, exhausted.

Perhaps knowing that the three had returned, the door once again emitted those sparks, which landed on the three people and one dragon, healing and restoring their injuries and stamina.

"What the hell is this thing? What's going on?" White-Robe's panting gradually calmed under the healing sparks. He was completely confused about what they had just experienced.

Jie Su was also moving his body as he recovered quickly. He thought for a moment and said, "I think this should be a teleportation door. These sparks are part of it. They can both heal us and bring us back. But what is its purpose in doing this? Zhongming, do you think what we encountered outside was real or illusory?"

He turned to ask Ye Zhongming, knowing that this guy always had some means to cope with crises better than others.

"I think it was real," Ye Zhongming said slowly. "If it were illusory, could our injuries be this real? But I'm not certain."

That was his guess. This universe had wheels and Slave Races—mysterious and bizarre—and many things could not be inferred by common sense.

"Too bad our equipment didn't get restored," White-Robe observed, noticing that both Ye Zhongming's and Jie Su's equipment had damage but showed no signs of recovery.

"Please choose…"

A voice suddenly sounded in their ears, startling the three people and one dragon.

They were certain that this voice originated from within the mountain body, not the previous state that acted directly on their consciousness.

Then, an image of White-Robe suddenly appeared on that brilliant door, lifelike. A string of data flowed in front of his image, then slowly stopped, revealing the number '9'.

The Silver Order Leader twitched the corner of his mouth. That should have been the score from the previous battle, right? Nine points? Was this an insult?

Next, behind this number, another string of numbers appeared: 33501.

"Furelai?" Jie Su looked and asked White-Robe. He remembered asking White-Robe when they came to the Black Book Absolute Peak, and the answer had been over thirty thousand, which closely matched this number.

White-Robe raised his eyebrows and nodded. "It should be. It's just that it increased quite a bit."

Previously, when he came to the planet hunting ground, White-Robe had tested at just over thirty thousand.

A line of writing appeared again on the energy door's light screen, and the voice promptly came: "Please choose: 1, enhance Furelai; 2, material reward."

The three were somewhat confused, completely unable to understand what this meant. Only Ye Zhongming felt that this was somewhat like the style of the wheel space.

"What should I choose?" White-Robe looked at his two companions and asked.

Jie Su frowned and said, "I don't know what the material rewards are. Choosing to enhance Furelai seems safer. But… can Furelai be enhanced this way?"

Ye Zhongming also nodded. If he had to choose, he would choose Furelai as well.

"But what if there are more challenges like the one just now? What do we do when all our equipment is broken? Fight with bare hands?"

White-Robe raised a different opinion.

The few of them were very troubled because they had no idea what this thing was or what they would face next, so every step was difficult.

White-Robe thought for a moment and said, "I'll choose the material reward. Later, you two will probably start making choices as well. If my choice is wrong, it might prevent you from making the same mistake."

The other two nodded. White-Robe said to the energy door, "2, material reward."

The light and shadow quickly changed. Even White-Robe's image became very small, replaced by a dense tree of items. From bottom to top, the higher it went, the more items there were. It was most plentiful in the middle-upper part, but at the very top, it became fewer again.

In any case, the several looked and simply could not count how many types of rewards there were.

White-Robe walked up to the door. He tapped the broadest category at the very bottom of this reward tree with his finger, and the branches belonging to it immediately lit up. Then, tapping on a specific branch made the rewards of that branch stand out and highlight, and so on, layer by layer, forming a staggered three-dimensional light and shadow.

White-Robe, along with the other two, looked at these material rewards with some greed, already forgetting where they were.

The items above—even for someone like Jie Su, a key successor being heavily cultivated by a super race—were extremely tempting and even stirred greed.

Among these branches were potions, equipment, war beasts, cultivation methods… Jie Su only casually looked and saw several formation legacies completely different from those of their Su Clan. Judging by their extremely simple introductions, their effects seemed to be no less than the current ten great formations.

Ye Zhongming was also somewhat stirred. He saw many precious scrolls, many peerless potions for enhancing physical strength, and even food specifically for elementals to eat.

What kind of place was this? Why did it have so many material rewards? In Ye Zhongming's impression, only the seemingly omnipotent wheel could do this.

But here, he did not see any trace of a wheel.

White-Robe looked excitedly. At the upper end of this reward tree, he suddenly said, "Look, look! Is this, shouldn't this be considered Lie God-grade equipment?"

Ye Zhongming and Jie Su looked over. Although no labels were saying they were Lie God-grade equipment, after looking, they were very certain that these were indeed the highest-grade equipment in this world. Here, there were as many as five pieces.

However, they despaired when they saw the exchange values behind them. Even the cheapest piece had an exchange value exceeding 100,000. And after they had fought so hard, how many points had White-Robe gotten?

9!

To reach one hundred thousand, who knew how many years it would take.

After seeing the good items, ordinary ones seemed unworthy of attention. White-Robe felt this way now. Having seen Lie God-grade, he had no interest in what he could exchange for his 9 points.

But having already chosen the material reward, he could not go back on it. In the end, he picked a reasonably good piece of armor and a leg guard, probably around Ke Steel Grade. They cost 7 points, leaving 2 unused. Then he chose to end.

The energy door changed. Jie Su's appearance appeared on it. First, data flowed, then slowly revealed the value.

Same as White-Robe.

There was no help for it. Without using his Following Formation, he was already able to achieve the same score as White-Robe, which was very impressive.

"I'll exchange for enhancing Furelai, to see how much I can get. Then when it's your turn, you'll know how to choose."

With Jie Su's words, the number representing Furelai behind his image stopped at 82561.

"I @#¥%…¥#@" White-Robe let out a string of profanity to express his praise for his comrade.

He had thought his own progress was fast enough, but who would have thought Jie Su's progress was even greater. The gap between them had not shrunk but had instead widened considerably.

Ye Zhongming was also extremely surprised. Jie Su had already become this formidable!

Jie Su smiled. "Thanks to the Following Formation. That truly is a gift from heaven to our Su Clan."

With that, he chose to increase Furelai. After some light brushed over his body, his Furelai changed to… 82579.
