Chapter 470 Counting the Spoils
Maybe because the sound transmitted faster in water, but Han Fei had arrived before the battle between Xia Xiaochan and Mo Feiyan was over.
The moment she saw Han Fei, Mo Feiyan squeezed a Flash Stone and escaped without any hesitation.
Mo Feiyan felt that these two people were too uncanny. They were supposed to be geniuses with unusual talents, but they had never been known. She could barely deal with either of them, and now that Fan Datong, who single handedly confronted the Immortals Slaying Formation, was here, she could only run.
Mo Feiyan didn’t think that her Water Dragon Chant was as powerful as the fully-deployed Immortals Slaying Formation, so she chose to leave.
After the Flash Stone was crushed, Mo Feiyan faded out and disappeared from the 201st floor.
She could continue going downwards, but she didn’t see any point in it. Even Cao Tian couldn’t make it beyond the 208th level. She didn’t think that Cao Tian could ever reach the 250th.
But did the Steps into the Sea really have only 250 floors in total? Nobody knew because nobody had been beyond the 250th floor. Therefore, Mo Feiyan considered the 250th floor to be a destination for peak-level Dangling Fishers.
After Han Fei arrived, Xia Xiaochan rolled her eyes at him. “Why did you come so quickly? That Mo Feiyan was almost showing her full strength.”
Han Fei was almost lost for words. “Where’s the Giant Arowana? Did you release the Giant Arowana? I wouldn’t have come as fast if I hadn’t heard the dragon roar.”
The center of Xia Xiaochan’s eyebrow flashed, and her vibe immediately became much less daunting.
Xia Xiaochan grimaced at Han Fei. “Don’t worry. She didn’t see it. I fused with it directly.”
Han Fei was relaxed after hearing that. He asked in confusion, “Why did that woman come down here?”
“I don’t know, but she is really terrible. Let me tell you, her spiritual beast is an ugly giant eel that has seven tails.” “Is that so?” “Yes.”
Han Fei looked around. “Forget it. Let’s leave her alone. This 201st floor has been cleared, and she’s gone already. We can train just ourselves here for a while.”
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes glittered. “To make a breakthrough?”
Han Fei shook his head. “No, just check how many Soul Crystals you have first…” “Soul Crystals?”
It was not until this moment that Xia Xiaochan finally remembered that she could expand her perception range now.
A moment later…
Xia Xiaochan sat on the ground and paved the Soul Crystals before her. “I have 47 in total. What about you?”
Han Fei also sat on the ground. He casually waved his hand, and 86 Soul Crystals fell on the ground. They were all the Soul Crystals he had left after giving a hundred to Tang Ge.
“You have so many?”
Xia Xiaochan exclaimed and looked at Han Fei in shock.
Han Fei grinned and said, “I didn’t have a lot at first, but back on the 200th floor, they were all having diarrhea, and even the water turned yellow because of them. I coerced them into submitting their Sea Swallowing Seashells with the antidote and got a lot of Soul Crystals.”
“Ew…”
Xia Xiaochan imagined the scene and felt lucky that she wasn’t there back then, or she would’ve thrown up.
“Then let’s split them up.”
She secretly glanced at Han Fei and pulled some of the Soul Crystals from Han Fei’s pile, before she grinned at him.
Han Fei didn’t know what to say. “They’re all yours. I’ve already taken enough.”
Xia Xiaochan: “???”
“That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. The intensity of the soul determines the amount of your spiritual power, and the amount of your spiritual power decides your perception range. ‘I’ve already hit my limit.”
“The limit?”
Xia Xiaochan jumped to her feet and looked at Han Fei in disbelief. “What is the limit?”
Han Fei blinked her eyes. “Five thousand meters, for now.”
He didn’t intend to keep it a secret. He felt that the greatest advantage of the Soul Crystals was that they could improve one’s soul power and perception range. He could offer his experience to Xia Xiaochan so she would know what might happen.
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes were bulging out. “How can you be so fast? When did you absorb them? How could you absorb them so quickly?”
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, “That’s probably because of my talent. You absorb them now. Since the 200th floor has been cleared by us, nobody will be here anytime soon. Also, since we’ve been through a lot of battles, I think we can try to become advanced Dangling Fishers.”
Without further ado, Xia Xiaochan simply pulled all the Sea Swallowing Seashells to herself and then tossed out more than a thousand Sea Swallowing Seashells.
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei felt that her blood was freezing when he saw the thousand Sea Swallowing Seashells. He was truly not as good as Xia Xiaochan in terms of robbing! How exactly did she loot so many? Xia Xiaochan simply said, “There are too many items inside. Let’s take out the good stuff and make offerings with the bad stuff. Those Sea Swallowing Seashells should be enough.” Han Fei waved his hand and set up a pile of another five hundred Sea Swallowing Seashells. He couldn’t help but rub his hands, as he truly liked opening them like presents.
Then, Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan began their respective work.
At this moment, the Hexagon Starfish ran down from Han Fei’s shoulder. Its six big eyes were all glittering as it stared at the Sea Swallowing Seashells.
Han Fei scoffed. “Go away. None of them are for you. I need to calculate the value of these Sea Swallowing Seashells first.” The Hexagon Starfish offered, “I gave you a lot of help. I cast the Six Gate Array more than once for you.”
Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “That’s right. You played your part too. How about this. I’ll toss the shiny stones to you when I see any, but you can’t hide them in your treasury until I evaluate their value first.”
The Hexagon Starfish rolled its six big eyes like spinning wheels and said quickly, “I won’t. I won’t.” So, the delightful program of shell exploration began.
“This one contains three mid-quality spiritual weapons, six low-quality spiritual weapons, zero high-quality spiritual weapons, 110,000 mid-quality pearls, one battle suit, and three mediocre battle techniques…”
“This one is full of stones and wood. There is one high-quality spiritual weapon, 260,000 mid-quality pearls, and five battle techniques…”
“Eleven mid-quality spiritual weapons… This one is rich… Three high-quality spiritual weapons. Huh! Ultimate materials… 102 flash stones, and 1,020,000 mid-quality pearls… Sweet mother of god, this Sea Swallowing Seashell is full….”
In the first four hours, Han Fei had great fun rummaging through the shells, but he soon got bored and drowsy. All sorts of stones were heaped before the Hexagon Starfish like a hill.
So, the Hexagon Starfish secretly tossed some of them into its treasury. It thought that Han Fei didn’t see it, but Han Fei was too lazy to stop it, because there were too many spoils for him to count!
Eventually, Han Fei simply set the mid-quality spiritual weapons as the boundary. All the treasures in the Sea Swallowing Seashells that were more valuable than spiritual weapons, as well as the special items such as Flash Stones, were kept to himself, and the rest were all sacrificed as offerings.
Two days later.
Han Fei listed the following items:
142 high-quality spiritual weapons, 68 high-quality battle suits.
1,308 mid-quality spiritual weapons, 201 mid-quality battle suits.
1,000 ultra-quality pearls, from an unknown rich guy’s Sea Swallowing Seashell.
300,000 high-quality pearls.
800,000,000 mid-quality pearls in total. Han Fei didn’t know how to spend the money at all. He thought that he should go to the Specter and buy all the spiritual fruits available.
12,008 flash stones in total. Han Fei didn’t know what to do with those flash stones either. He felt that they were enough for the rest of his life.
Apart from these items, there were 51 treasure maps, 386 ultra-quality materials, 2,908 high-quality materials, and altogether 928 battle techniques, 901 of which had been determined to be garbage by Han Fei. Of the remaining 27 techniques, nine were demon-level high-quality techniques, and the rest were all ancillary techniques.
Han Fei also collected the spiritual fruits that could increase his health or mental power. Then, he still had numerous items that were less valuable than mid-quality spiritual weapons. It took him six hundred Sea Swallowing Seashells to pack them up.
That was not counting the items that the Hexagon Starfish stole, but Han Fei was too lazy to care about it.
If it were before, he would’ve skinned the Hexagon Starfish for stealing so many treasures.
But at this moment, it was no biggie.
At first, Han Fei was of a mind to calculate how much worth of money he and Xia Xiaochan had looted exactly, but he felt that his arithmetic was failing him, so he decided to drop it. The items were too many for anyone to calculate!
In the end, Han Fei divided the items more valuable than mid-quality spiritual weapons into two piles, and each pile was packed in eighty Sea Swallowing Seashells. Among the eighty Sea Swallowing Seashells, at least sixty were full of money, and the other twenty contained weapons, materials, Flash Stones, etc.
The rest of the Sea Swallowing Seashells were filled with boats.
Han Fei thought that if he still had as many Sea Swallowing Seashells when he left the Steps into the Sea, he would consider the real Million Knife Art.
Five days after Han Fei organized the Sea Swallowing Seashells, Xia Xiaochan woke up.
She immediately looked at Han Fei. “Hey! How many Soul Crystals did you take exactly? Why has my perception range only been expanded to 1,900 meters after I absorbed more than a hundred of them? How did you make it to five thousand meters?”
