Chapter 128 - 122: Cold Essence

The vast square in front of the Dungeon.

Suddenly, the figures of a hundred new Trainers appeared on the mysterious and obscure five-pointed portal.

The originally peaceful square instantly became bustling, and a sporadic burst of noise erupted from the surrounding crowds.

“What a pity, we almost defeated that Class II Beast!” said a delicate-looking boy.

“Hamilton Roland, seriously? You had to team up to deal with a Class II Beast?” A surprised female voice sounded.

“What? Isn’t your Initial Pet also Class I?”

“I’m sorry, I’m not the same as you. My Pet just advanced in the Dungeon.”

David Jones stood in place, listening to the conversations around him, and felt mixed emotions.

Unconsciously, he had opened a huge gap between himself and his fellow Trainers of the same year.

“Margaret Yule, how many points did you get in this competition?” Oswald Maud came over from the side.

“I killed too few Class I Beasts, probably just over two thousand points.” As she spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared on Margaret Yule’s face, “I think I’ll be dead last in this competition.”

Oswald Maud deeply empathized and nodded.

“I scored even less than you, and I couldn’t find many Pet Resources in the Dungeon. In total, there were only over eighteen hundred points.”

“Looks like we’re both at the bottom.” Oswald Maud sighed, then turned his gaze towards David Jones.

“David, how about you? What’s your harvest?”

“It’s okay, I achieved a full load.” David Jones coughed lightly.

He didn’t expect Oswald Maud and Margaret Yule to score so low that their combined points were not even a fraction of his.

“How many points exactly?” Margaret Yule asked curiously.

“I didn’t count in detail, but it should be around two hundred thousand.”

“???”

Margaret Yule subconsciously covered her lips with her hand, and her bright eyes stared wide, looking extremely cute.

Although she has always had high expectations for David Jones, this explosive news still caught her off guard.

Could it be that Waterland City’s competition ranking will skyrocket to first place this year?

“Two hundred thousand points? What exactly did you do in the Dungeon!” Oswald Maud’s face was full of shock.

He struggled to survive, and it took three days just to collect over a thousand points, while David Jones achieved two hundred thousand points in that time. This one hundred times difference in points was simply too outrageous!

Oswald Maud’s exclamation instantly attracted the attention of many Trainers around him, causing a burst of discussion.

“What did he just say? Two hundred thousand points! Do you know this Trainer?”

“I don’t know him. He’s not one of the popular contestants in this Trainer competition.”

“He’s just seeking attention. The highest score in the previous contest was only a little over one hundred thousand.”

“It’s indeed ridiculous. Two hundred thousand points? He would have had to kill hundreds of Class III Beasts…”

“Hundreds of them in three days? Even if they were queued up to be killed, it wouldn’t be that fast, not to mention with powerful Class III Beasts!”

Oswald Maud awkwardly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

He wasn’t embarrassed because of the surrounding discussions but because of his self-control.

“You’re really a freak!” Margaret Yule whispered.

She had no doubt about the huge score mentioned by David Jones, and even felt a hint of pride inside.

She had noticed this talented young man early on!

“Indeed.” Oswald Maud added from the side.

Hearing this, David Jones couldn’t help but pause.

Although Margaret Yule’s words seemed to be complimenting him, he felt weird!

He is a decent person and has nothing to do with being a freak.

Slander, pure slander!

At this moment, the triumphant Guildmaster Maud walked out of the hall.

“You’ve worked hard, it’s just eight o’clock now. Shall we go have dim sum? My treat,” Gavin Maud said with a smile.

David Jones didn’t disappoint him, becoming the dark horse of this Trainer Competition.

Although the ranking results for the Trainer Competition will not be officially announced until tomorrow, there’s no doubt that David Jones will be the winner with his terrifying Dungeon score.

What is this?

This is a dazzling achievement!

Thinking of the resource support from the provincial Trainer Guild next year, he felt extremely gratified.

“Let’s go, I’m hungry.” Oswald Maud urged. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside the Dungeon, not only did he have to be constantly vigilant of unknown Beasts appearing at any time, but he also had to guard against competitors. It was exhausting for him.

All he wanted to do now was eat a big meal and learn about David Jones’ incredible journey in the Dungeon.

As a result, David Jones chatted with them while walking, and they arrived at the base canteen without realizing it.

“Oh, right. This is the reward we agreed on previously.”

After the meal, seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit gloomy, Guildmaster Maud took out two exquisite jade boxes from his Star Ring and placed them in front of David Jones.

“What are these two?” David Jones looked puzzled.

He thought the agreed-upon reward was just the Dragon Scale Soft Armor.

Why is there another jade box now?

Could it be an advance reward for his ranking in this Trainer Competition?

“You can open it and see.” Guildmaster Maud smiled.

Without hesitation, David Jones opened the jade box in front of him.

A set of exquisite soft armor with a pale white luster, with a red gold gem inlaid on the front of the breastplate, came into view.

“Dragon Scale Soft Armor, a top-grade Class V arcane implement, can withstand the full-force attack of a Class V Beast. Ordinary Elite Beasts cannot break its defense,” Guildmaster Maud began to explain.

It’s indeed worthy of being made from the scales of a True Dragon!

Even if the Dragon Scales found in Mountain Southshore Dungeon had lost their activity, they could still strengthen the arcane gold-made soft armor to the top-grade Class V.

“Great stuff.”

David Jones’ eyes sparkled, and he instinctively touched the soft armor in front of him, feeling a cold sensation.

It was for this Dragon Scale Soft Armor that he participated in the Trainer Competition, even not hesitating to make a big splash.

After marveling, David Jones looked at the other jade box and opened it directly. A white round bead appeared instantaneously.

“Cold Essence, a Level VI Ice-type Train Resource. After refining, it can increase the probability of advancing an Ice-type Super Pet to King level by 10%,” Guildmaster Maud continued to explain.

After hesitating for a moment, David Jones pushed the jade box in front of him towards Guildmaster Maud. “This is too valuable.”

“This Cold Essence is a Pet Resource that I won from a bet with a friend, and it didn’t cost a penny. It can be said that it is the reward you won,” Guildmaster Maud pushed the jade box back.

At this time, Oswald Maud was staring at the Cold Essence with his eyes wide open, his facial expression very interesting.

He couldn’t help but interrupt, “Won’t Margaret Yule and I get any rewards?”

Is this man really their father?

Why was all the good stuff given to someone else instead of his own son?

“I don’t need it.” Margaret Yule whispered softly.

Hearing this, Guildmaster Maud looked at Oswald Maud with a serious expression, his tone slightly stern.

“Do I need to have a private talk with you about the points you scored in this Trainer Competition?”

“This…” Oswald Maud was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

At this moment, a dull knock on the door suddenly rang out, easing the awkward atmosphere in the room..
