Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2231  Systematic Work

Lin Mu and the rest all watched Lady Kang and Elder Hu's hands, waiting to see what points they would get.

~SHUA~

But much to their surprise, only Lady Kang's band lit up.

"One hundred increased." Lady Kang spoke.

"None for me." Elder Hu added.

~Sigh~

"Looks like this is indeed going to be a bit bothersome." Crown Prince Feng Shun shook his head.

"It only grants credits to those that get the final hit." Ziran understood.

"It's not all bad." Lin Mu thought more of it. "At least it gives us a method to 'distribute' the points for all of our gains." He added.

"All we need now is to work together to weaken the stronger foes, and let the right person get the final kill." Monk Hushu spoke. "Amitabha, our trust is good enough that we do not need to worry about foul play here, at least." He added.

"True." Crown Princess Shang agreed. "It's much better than some of our missions." She said with a frown.

"Ugh… I almost never want to work with the other trainees at the Immortal Court on large scale missions because of it too." Daoist Chu shook his head.

Lin Mu looked at them, feeling curious about what that was all about. Crown Prince knew what Lin Mu was thinking and gave him a quick rundown.

"Well, the reason why Crown Princess Shang, Monk Hushu and Daoist Chu are in a group with me is because we've never had problems with each other and have a stable relationship. This took us a long time to achieve as all the others we've worked with have not been the most 'ideal' to work with. While I wouldn't say I've been betrayed, but trickery was not uncommon for gains." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained.

"Yeah, and as part of our training at the Immortal Court, we cannot even reject those missions." Crown Princess Shang said with a tired expression.

"Can't you complain about that?" Lin Mu asked. "I don't think the Immortal Court would be blind to acts like that, would they?" "We can, but only for major infractions. The way these other trainees do is things that can be considered under an honest mistake or have a plausible deniability. So it's rare to be able to complain unless they make a big enough mistake." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained.

"The Immortal Court also wishes to temper us to learn how to deal with people like those and either control them to behave or bend to them. It is up to us how we grow through it." Monk Hushu added.

"No wonder you keep on getting the highest merits in most missions." Crown Princess Shang rolled her eyes.

"Monk Hushu does?" Lin Mu raised his brows, thinking that it surely must have been Crown Prince Feng Shun.

"Yeah, he has the higest scores among us." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "He can work with the worst people and still somehow manage to get on top." He revealed. "Amithabha, all we need is temperance and acceptance of suffering." Monk Hushu brought his palms together in prayer.

"Ugh, this monk." Crown Princess Shang shook her head. "Though I wonder what the situation will be like if Daoist Mu Lin was with us too." Daoist Chu suddenly chimed in. "He is technically eligible to join the Immortal Court as a trainee too." "Haha." A sudden laugh was heard, pulling their attention. "Lady Kang?" Lin Mu raised his brows, seeing that. "A Trainee in the Immortal Court?" Lady Kang couldn't help but recall the scene she had seen in her Dantian. "If Daoist Mu Lin were to go there, I'm sure they wouldn't accept him as a Trainee." "Surely he's more than qualified to be a trainee." Daoist Chu said, wondering what the woman was getting wrong.

"I mean yes, he's qualified to be one. But is the Immortal Court qualified to take him in as just a 'trainee'." Lady Kang said without elaborating further.

Crown Prince Feng Shun fell in thought after hearing that and remembered all the events that had happened before. "Ah, how foolish of us." Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled while placing his hand over his face, as if realizing the mistake. "Daoist Mu Lin is also a Spatial Master that already has great capabilities. "He's already qualified to be a direct part of the immortal Court." He stated.

"Sure…" Lady Kang narrowed her eyes, knowing that even that might not be enough.

Lin Mu didn't know what to say here, so he just stayed silent with a wry smile on his face.

Ziran and Qiao De who were hearing all this, simply listened in silence, knowing it was not their part to say. While Elder Hu and Min Ju had the same thoughts as Lady Kang. 'Even his talent in Sword would be enough to grant him a direct discipleship… forget being a trainee.' Elder Hu knew a bit more. 'And if we add the rest… there won't be many qualified to take him in.' The short banter didn't last long, as the group heard the sound of a stampeding swarm.

"Oh look, more credits coming our way." Qiao De said, before springing into action first.

~WHOOSH~

He threw out two discs that spun through the air, cutting through the small swarm within a minute.

"Damn, not much." Qiao De said, looking at the green band that showed he had only gotten about six thousand credits. "These First tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric Beasts won't give us much." "Well, we may as well kill all that come in our way, but focus on the stronger ones if we find them." Lin Mu said before taking a glance at the map. "How about we start clearing out one of the four large swarms?" he suggested.

"That'll be good." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "We can start with the small one and move to the big ones."

"Oh! That way we'll be able to get the three colored Dazzling Lotus too!" Crown Princess Shang had still been intent on getting it. "Is it one of the goals for you?" Lin Mu asked, knowing that each of the four members had a goal.

"Yeah. My goal is to find herbs that the Shang Dynasty does not currently have in their herbarium." Crown Princess Shang answered.

"Very well. We can get to it once we've taken out the weaker ones." Lin Mu stated.

"Time to head out!" Crown Prince Feng Shun said, and the group soon soared into the sky.

The first location they were going after was the Chimeric Beast Swarm in the west. It was the smallest one amongst them, being only twenty percent of the size that Lin Mu had slaughtered before.

They were already in the west, thus it was the closest to them and it wouldn't take them long to get there.

"Huh, looks like the Death Qi boundary shifted." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, seeing that there were no Chimeric beasts here.

"They won't be that far… I think." Monk Hushu said, as he was the one who had recorded the Chimeric beasts here.

~SHUA~SHUA~

All of them extended their Immortal Senses in search of the traces of the Chimeric Beasts. They couldn't spot them in the field of their vision, but there was a chance their aura would still be lingering, which would be found by their Immortal sense.

And after about a minute of searching, Ziran was the one to find them.

"Got em," Ziran said, turning southwest. "They seem to have run over there." He pointed.

~WHOOSH~

The group quickly flew over and about ten minutes later, spotted the dark line in the distance.

"Theres the new Death Qi boundary." They saw. "And the Chimeric Beasts are on the other side." They observed.

The Death Qi boundary near them was thick, thus the Auroch Chimeric Beasts had chosen to go to the most distant part where the Death Qi Boundary was thinner and would allow them to leave soon enough.

Of course, to the group, the Death Qi boundary's working was already known and they simply flew over it.

"Who want's to take this one?" Lin Mu asked. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Crown Prince Feng Shun can go on first. We'll rotate one by one and assist when needed." Lady Kang suggested a more systematic option.

"That's acceptable." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded and dived at the swarm.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

Winds swirled around him and got faster by the second. And by the time he was a mere hundred meters from the swarm, the winds had already turned into sharp blades that were spinning like a grinder.

"Storm King Immortal Art: Shredding Twister!" Crown Prince Feng Shun chanted and finally landed in the swarm.

~BIHIIIIII~

Only the Auroch Chimeric Beasts that were on the edge of the swarm even got to cry out as the rest were shredded into chunks of flesh before that. The sharp winds were formed from Wind Immortal Qi and held quite a lot of power, especially considering that this was a Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal using it. The Storm King Immortal Art was also one of the best immortal cultivation techniques one could have, thus its power was quite high.

There were about hundred thousand Auroch Chimeric beasts in this small swarm and it was mostly composed of first and Second Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric beasts with a little under hundred Third Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric Beasts mixed in.

By the time the Crown Prince was done with the hunt, he was up by quite a lot of credits.
