Chapter 320: Where Did This Barking Dog Come From?

Lin Zihan did not need anyone to tell him how valuable a single strand of soul spring was. He found it hard to believe that Xiang Shaoyun was so generously giving him a few strands for free.

"Take it." Xiang Shaoyun pushed the bottle into Lin Zihan's hand before telling Liang Zhuangmin and Hua Honglou, "Let's go. Time to leave this place."

"Haha. Yes, let's go," Liang Zhuangmin laughed. He did not feel dissatisfied just because Xiang Shaoyun had given Lin Zihan a few strands of soul spring. Instead, he felt that Xiang Shaoyun was a forthright and generous person—traits he liked in a person.

Liang Zhuangmin wanted some soul springs for himself as well, but he already had the earthstone heart. That would be enough for him to break through into the next realm. In any case, he was sure Xiang Shaoyun had more, and he would get a cut no matter what.

Lin Zihan only recovered from his shock after Xiang Shaoyun's group was far away from him. He quickly chased after them and said, "Xiang Shaoyun, I will accept this big present of yours. I don't have anything decent to give you as repayment, but I will remember this and return the favor in the future!"

"If you consider me a friend, don't mention repayment again," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.

He had a lot of soul spring water on him, and the few strands he gave was nothing for him. Lin Zihan was moved by that and nearly hugged Xiang Shaoyun and cried on his shoulders then and there.

Although he was confident he could enter the Skysoar Realm, it might take him a year or two, or even longer. His breakthrough would be much later than the others, and once that happened, it would be hard for him to keep up with the other geniuses.

The soul spring Xiang Shaoyun had given him solved this issue. Thus, he now considered Xiang Shaoyun his benefactor. On their way out, Hua Honglou couldn't resist looking at Xiang Shaoyun with resentment as she asked, "Why are you giving them out so generously? At the very least, you should have traded for something of equal value."

Xiang Shaoyun gave a solemn reply, "He helped me. Thus, he is worthy of receiving my help. Turning it into a transaction will change the entire flavor of the gesture."

Hua Honglou wanted to retort, but when she saw Xiang Shaoyun's serious eyes, she swallowed her words. Instead, she grumbled, "You and your ideals. I better get my share of soul springs later as well."

"Haha, both you and big brother will get your cut," said Xiang Shaoyun with a laugh.

"I knew Brother Yun wouldn't forget us," said Liang Zhuangmin gleefully.

Soon, they arrived before a shining door. They stepped through it to reach the outside world. The moment Xiang Shaoyun arrived outside, Devouring Ghost roared with laughter in his head, "Hahahahaha...I am finally out of that shitty place...hahahahaha."

Xiang Shaoyun could feel his excitement, and it filled him with grief for some reason, as if he was feeling sad on behalf of Devouring Ghost for his fate of having been trapped in there for so long.

He barely knew Devouring Ghost, so it was weird that he would feel that way. He shook his head and calmed his emotions. He then set off toward the Cloud Margin Pavilion's group with Liang Zhuangmin and Hua Honglou.

The participants could do what they wanted in the Land of Soul Springs, but out here, they must not create trouble. That was a rule set by the numerous organizations. Of course, the rule was not absolute as rule breakers would always exist.
