Chapter 319 Ranker\'s Territory
Even if he had a helper at his side who did not lose to a ranker like Sk?ll and Hati, without his own personal territory, finding so many duct beasts in this vast reservoir was incredibly difficult.
While confusion flashed in her head, Ella nodded.
"Since both of us are already at the 7 paths of Ablution, the 1000-foot duct beast Duct Creation Energy crystal will enable either one of us to reach the 8 paths of Ablution. But if split, it will only be akin to a useless ornament that will result in neither of us reaching 8 paths." Explained Ezra Zephyr with a smile.
Ella naturally already understood this. Her eyes flowed in thought, not batting an eyelid as she secretly wondered if Ezra was trying to come up with some kind of excuse for him to take the entire crystal. "What are your intentions?"
The prince chuckled. "You can have the entire 1000 feet duct beast crystal."
Surprised immediately appeared on Ella\'s face. Soon after, she warily stared at Ezra and asked, "So generous?"
The crystal of a 1000 feet duct beast was something that even the top 10 rankers would fight over. Was Ezra Zephyr really willing to give it to her? Did he have some kind of ulterior motive?
The prince could not help but laugh bitterly in response. "Of course, I\'m not giving it to you for free. My condition is that you permit us to enter your territory in the energy reservoir where I will find a second 1000 feet duct beast. When it\'s found, you will be responsible for protecting us from other disciples."
It was said the ranker\'s territory was abundant with duct beasts. Since the prince had the ability to search in the reservoir for prolonged periods, he could attempt to find 2nd 1000 feet duct beast.
In the energy reservoir, he had even more of an advantage than these rankers. Therefore, just because the rankers failed to find any did not mean that he would not succeed.
Ella\'s mouth opened slightly and closed in succession, clearly not expecting Ezra to propose such conditions. She was clearly the one who was taking advantage. "1000 feet duct beasts hide themselves in the deepest parts of the reservoir. If they were so easily found, Wilson would not have tried so hard to snatch it from me."
"That\'s not your problem." Ezra waved his hand. "Will you accept my suggestion?"
The iciness in Ella\'s eyes had receded substantially. After a brief hesitation, she eventually gritted her teeth and said, "Deal. However, I dislike taking advantage of you. Even if you fail to find 2nd 1000 feet duct beast, I will continue to help you search until we find one. Take it as repayment for your 1000 feet duct beast crystal."
Ezra glanced at her, unable to stop himself from smirking. Although Ella was very cold and proud, she was too candid and credulous.
"Alright then." Hence, he nodded with a grin.
Ella breathed a small sigh of relief as her gaze swept across Ezra. This guy did not seem as loathsome as before.
In addition, now that she had pretty much thrown away her prejudice, she was now seeing Ezra in a completely different light. The many things that happened today were enough proof that this new outer mountain disciple seemed to be pretty extraordinary.
Whether it was countering Govrin\'s rune and compressing him or the confidence to face Wilson Sallow without bowing. "This guy…" Ella pursed her lips slightly, some bewilderment in her eyes. "Is he really able to find another 1000 feet duct beast?"
Time passed as Ella brought Ezra into her personal reservoir territory.
The prince spent the subsequent days searching for any signs of a 1000 feet duct beast in the energy reservoir. However, there had been no results after several days.
The ten-day limit was just around the corner, and if Ezra was still unable to find a 1000 feet duct beast, his Duct Creation Energy would be stuck at the 7 paths level.
Although the 7 paths were already a dream for many disciples, with the exception of the 10 rankers, Ezra\'s ambitions were not so small. If not, he would not be working so hard to find a 1000 feet duct beast.
Ella was looking at him from above when a disciple spoke to her. "It\'s his choice. He bears the responsibility regardless of success or failure." Her voice was clear and pleasant to the ear. She glanced at Ella and unhurriedly said "You, on the other hand, have received such a huge favour from him, but have not given him much help."
Ella calmly replied, "I\'ve promised to help him find it in the future if he fails this time, and I won\'t stop until I return him a 1000 feet duct beast crystal."

"The energy reservoir is closing tomorrow. If I\'m still unable to find a 1000 feet duct beast, I will be stuck with a 7 path of Ablution." Ezra\'s gaze faintly flickered in thought as he continued to search in the reservoir.
"Looks like it\'s not going to work out unless I take drastic measures." He frowned as he contemplated something before he heard Fenrir\'s voice.
"Boy, ordinary methods aren\'t going to draw out a 1000 feet duct beast. You take the role of bait, it would surely attract a tremendous number of duct beasts."
The prince nodded and explained the plan to Sk?ll and Hati.
Sk?ll remained expressionless while Hati snorted in a pleased manner, before slowly extending a paw, indicating a split of eight to two.
It was asking for an eighty percent share of the Duct Creation Energy crystals.
The prince clenched his jaw as he glared at the exploitative little creature, but ultimately nodded his head in agreement. He no longer needed any ordinary crystals. Only a 1000 feet duct beast crystal will work as a primer of sorts to raise him to the 8 path of Ablution.
After coming to an agreement, the prince crossed his legs and sat down in the water. With a deep breath, a resolved look flashed in his eyes as the Chaos Force in his core erupted without reservation at this moment as Black and Red terrifying bolts of lightning flickered.
