Chapter 265 - 131: Is Long Dangdang Going to Confess?_2
In the end, the top ten competitors from the six groups’ total scores made it to the final round. The top eight would continue to the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals to determine the final rankings. The ninth and tenth place were ranked directly based on their group competition scores, without having to compete further.
The final ten contestants would choose their teammates in order of their rank. Each round, every person could select one teammate. As long as there were no repeated professions, different groups could merge. But the precondition was that both parties agreed. Only those in the top ten had the right to propose a merge.
"Big bro, should we see what’s up for auction and get some more gear? How much money do we have now?" Long Kongkong, who had been in high spirits since successfully making it through the fourth round and becoming a probationary member of the demon hunting team, was feeling quite smug. Having just completed a night of cultivation, he draped an arm around Long Dangdang’s shoulders, grinning from ear to ear.
Long Dangdang replied, "Including what grandpa and grandma gave us, and what mom and dad gave us, we have about five thousand gold coins in total."
Long Kongkong asked, "Didn’t they say there were rewards for making it into the preliminary round of the demon hunting team? Cousin Menglu, how much is the reward?"
Ling Menglu replied, "Every person will get approximately a thousand gold coins. If you’re thinking of buying equipment, I can ask dad to see if there’s an auction at the big auction house. But five thousand gold coins really is a bit less. Even with the rewards, it probably won’t be enough to buy even one piece of Spirit Demon Level Equipment. Lower level equipment isn’t very beneficial."
Long Dangdang asked, "Being reserve Sacred Legates like we are now, can we borrow from the Temple? Or can we apply for equipment directly from the Temple?"
Ling Menglu shook her head, "That’s unlikely. For the Knights Temple, one can only apply to test for Mithril Cathedra knight after they reach the 7th Rank. That’s how they get their Mithril Cathedra armor, which is legendary class equipment. There’s also the 8th Rank Adamantine Cathedra battle armor. The Temple does have other equipment, but generally there’s only one way to get it, through merit. Either military or demon hunting team merit could be exchanged for equipment. But we don’t have any merit right now. So, it’s not going to work. As for borrowing, that’s even more unlikely. There are some issues between the 6 Great Sacred Temples and the government office, so the Temples actually aren’t that wealthy. We’ll have to figure it out ourselves."
Long Dangdang nodded. Ever since he got the Inaugural Silver Waves Magic longsword, he really understood the significance of powerful equipment. Without this top Spirit Demon Level longsword, how could he have used the Sacred Sword multiple times? Not to mention, Inaugural Silver Waves Magic could also be used as a magic staff, massively increasing his combat strength. But besides this sword, he didn’t have any impressive equipment. Long Kongkong only had a Rising Spiritual Power Shield that was somewhat acceptable, but it was mainly for support. Even for defense, it wasn’t that effective.
