Chapter 585

The battle space lasts half a day, and when it disperses the flying bear phantom has seemingly made a complete recovery. Its opponent, the blood forest wolf, is a pile of white bones. Tai Bai Yun Sheng notes that battle space Gu lets the bear recover to its prime state in half a day while all look on. Battle space Gu is wild and not under the bear’s control, but its sense of danger is very sharp, so it pulls a target in. Wolf groups that surround the bear make ready targets, and a pulled-in Gu Master would fight to live rather than break the space by the simple means of immediate suicide. ^{ch. 585}

Ye Lui Sang, a tribe leader, bluntly suggests a change of strategy. Hei Lou Lan only snorts, thinking the one way left is to enter the battle space and use his strength path killer move, a secret technique of Hei tribe. Amplified by his Great Strength True Martial Physique, it could kill the flying bear, but it would break the sealing effect of Immortal Gu Dark Limit and quicken the disaster of one of the ten extreme physiques. His time is already short, and he must still clear a hundred rounds of another floor for a strength path Immortal Gu. Yet without crossing this round he gets no one-edge owner token to learn where that Gu is. He hesitates. ^{ch. 585}

Fang Yuan says breaking the battle space is not difficult. Hei Lou Lan asks at once, calling him Brother Shan Yin, for his method. Smiling, Fang Yuan cites the fifty-percent reward and gives three steps. Long-range methods first exhaust the flying bear’s energy, then a death warrior fights up close and immediately suicides if pulled in. Long-range battle then resumes without giving the bear time to take a breather, and this will definitely kill it. Some inwardly mutter of the plan’s cruelty, but everyone knows it solves the problem. ^{ch. 585}

Sun Shi Han had thought of the method earlier. He did not dare suggest it, since as an external elder of Hei tribe he would be soiling his reputation. To Hei Lou Lan, whose life is about to be over, reputation is of no use, and he decides at once to use the plan. Still, he sighs and declares that the tribe is forced to this, promising the dead a grand burial and care for their families. ^{ch. 585}

Hei Lou Lan summons Hei tribe’s death warriors. All of rank two, they cannot refuse their tribe leader. The battle goes without accident until more than ten death warriors are sacrificed and the flying bear phantom collapses, breathing its last. When everyone moves for the final strike, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s power leaves them unable to budge. Only Fang Yuan, holding a six-edge owner token, is tranquil and knows the round is over. An edge emerges from Hei Lou Lan’s round owner token, and a strong sense of fortune tells him he is in full control of this floor. He realises that beating the bear to near death was enough, and while inwardly exulted, he sighs mournfully that what happened to Hei tribe’s children is truly a pity. ^{ch. 585}

Tai Bai Yun Sheng entered the building for lifespan Gu, which is rare and comes only as a reward from the ninetieth round up. He asks what this round’s rewards are, and Hei Lou Lan points at the dying bear. Only Fang Yuan knew beforehand that it is a rank six phantom path Immortal Gu named flying bear phantom Gu. The bear turns into white light and then a speck that flies to Hei Lou Lan. As master of the owner token, Hei Lou Lan owns the reward. The building’s power lets him refine it easily. ^{ch. 585}

Fang Yuan’s six-edge owner token receives a floor’s rewards only after taking control. Contesting Hei Lou Lan’s token would awaken Giant Sun’s will and bring Fang Yuan great loss or even a tragic end. The Gu looks very dim and near death, yet Hei Lou Lan, seeing it is an Immortal Gu, cannot take his eyes off it. A voice with a flat tone but firm determination demands the Immortal Gu. Hei Lou Lan frowns, knowing without looking that the speaker is Wolf King Chang Shan Yin. ^{ch. 585}
