High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 755 - 388: Marquis-like Bearing, Sudden Wealth

Whoosh~ A massive surge of light gathered, manifesting a projection.

[Name: Jiang Ye]

[Huanglong Merit: 50]

"Fifty merit points." Jiang Ye glanced at Zi Yaozhi: "What about you all?"

"I have just ten points," Zi Yaozhi replied.

"I also have only ten points."

"I've got merely five points."

"..."

Jiang Ye nodded quietly. Clearly, slaying that mid-Eight Breaks powerhouse had granted him the highest merit.

Right then, Jiang Ye spotted a fresh option on the projection display.

"Treasure exchange?" Curiosity piqued, Jiang Ye tapped it without delay.

Whoosh~ The interface shifted.

Before long, a fresh array unfolded, showcasing treasure projections alongside their costs.

[Eighth Tier Enlightenment Treasure: 1,000 Merit]

[Eighth Tier Peak Enlightenment Treasure: 10,000 Merit]

...

[Eighth Tier Healing Sacred Medicine: 5,000 Merit]

[Ninth Tier Shield (Can withstand a full-force strike of Ninth Break): 50,000 Merit]

...

[Fruit of Laws (Ninth Tier Early Period): 100,000 Merit]

[Fruit of Laws (Ninth Tier Mid-period): 500,000 Merit]

...

Numerous treasures materialized.

Enlightenment items, healing aids, defensive gear, and even priceless law treasures filled the display.

Yet upon eyeing their prices, Jiang Ye stood stunned.

"A Fruit of Laws demands 100,000 merit?" Jiang Ye muttered in shock.

In that instant, Jiang Ye truly grasped the immense value of the Fruit of Laws.

Such rarities were scarce even on Huanglong Main Star.

"How many battles must I endure to amass 100,000 merit?" Jiang Ye whispered to himself.

From a single clash, he'd gained only 50 merit.

To reach 100,000 at this pace, over a thousand fights would be needed.

"Brother Wang."

Zi Yaozhi suggested, "Let's gather the treasures first."

"Sure." Jiang Ye gave a slight nod, stowed his token, and soared toward the canyon.

At the canyon's heart lay a expanse of broken stones, luminous strands seeping from cracks, dazzling brilliantly.

Obviously, the treasure Jiang Ye had glimpsed earlier lay hidden beneath those rubble piles.

"Shatter!" Jiang Ye channeled Heaven and Earth's secrets, slamming down his palm.

Rumble~

The stone ruins detonated, shards scattering wildly, as radiant beams pierced the heavens, unleashing a staggering treasure scent.

"This?"

"Such abundance of treasures."

"We've hit the jackpot." Mo Xin and companions' eyes gleamed with avarice.

Jiang Ye surveyed the area, a hint of disappointment crossing his face: "Regrettably, no law treasures here."

What he craved most right now were law treasures.

Should the Ashen Law advance to Ninth Break, Jiang Ye's final weakness would vanish.

Then, he could stand against genius prodigies... As Bai Gui noted, top talents always wielded laws.

It was precisely then.

"Buzz buzz!" The Huanglong Army Order trembled.

"Hmm?"

"These can be traded for merit?" Jiang Ye jolted, inspecting promptly.

His face soured faintly.

"Exchange yields only half the purchase value? That's outrageous!"

For instance, an Eighth Tier treasure.

Trading it fetched just 300 merit.

Yet the exchange list priced Eighth Tier items at 500 merit minimum.

"It's actually fair enough."

"Huanglong Merit's value surpasses market rates by far." Zi Yaozhi explained, "Even at half, it beats external prices hands down."

Jiang Ye inclined his head and dropped the matter.

"Distribute the treasures now." Jiang Ye directed.

"Brother Wang, your efforts were greatest; pick first." Zi Yaozhi offered.

The rest concurred with nods, utterly agreeable.

"I'll claim half then." Jiang Ye took boldly, claiming half the haul.

At once, his Huanglong Army Order's redeemable merit skyrocketed.

One hundred, three hundred, six hundred...

[Huanglong Merit (Exchangeable): 2,300]

"We're loaded."

Gazing at the hefty 'balance,' Jiang Ye grinned widely.

He'd deemed the 100,000-merit Fruit of Laws exorbitant before.

Now? A few more such battles, and acquiring one seemed feasible.

After Zi Yaozhi, Mo Xin, and others claimed their shares.

"Onward." Jiang Ye declared, "This Fierce Barbaric Region holds plenty more treasures. Let's seize them before rival teams."

Though the detail-observation effect endured just three minutes.

Jiang Ye's phenomenal recall had etched every treasure spot in his mind.

"Teaming with Brother Wang was wise." Zi Yaozhi beamed happily, hurrying after him.

He felt this, and Mo Xin's group even more so.

They brimmed with thanks for their earlier decision.

"Captain Jiang bears marquis' aura."

"I'm following him henceforth!" They vowed inwardly.

....

In the Fierce Barbaric Region's depths stood a 10,000-meter snow peak, blanketed in eternal snow, chilling to the bone.

At its base.

"Boom! Boom!" A ferocious clash raged.

White-furred humanoid beasts swarmed a frost-like beauty.

This alluring yet icy woman boasted fearsome might, her longsword felling snowmen, forcing their retreat solo.

Yet wounds marred her body, some baring bone, signaling severe harm.

As combat dragged on, her energy waned, pushing her to exhaustion's brink.

"Outsider, yield without fuss." A azure-faced snowman gestured, hurling a rope.

The rope blazed with glow, radiating immense force, instantly quelling the beauty.

With a snap, it ensnared Zhao Zishuang's lithe form, leaving her utterly helpless.
