Upon entering the Black Dragon Hall, Jiang Hao was immediately dumbfounded.

In the huge hall, there was only one thing on the table: a weighbridge!

There was nothing else.

Jiang Hao observed that the weighbridge almost covered the entire hall floor, leaving only a two-meter-wide perimeter for people to enter and exit the surrounding eight rooms. Judging by its size, the weighbridge was at least ten tons.

Jiang Hao couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the Black Dragon Palace was indeed very well-organized.

"How is it, sir? Ever since you came last time, I knew you would come back, so this weighbridge was specially prepared for you."

Tens of thousands of sows chimed in, "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Wang is very thoughtful. But you still need to arrange a few people for us to come in with us. They'll be in charge of moving and weighing the gold."

Last time, moving over ten tons of gold nearly exhausted tens of thousands of sows. Jiang Hao wasn't too surprised that he made this request in advance this time.

"Of course, fifty million is no small sum. How many people do you need to go in, sir? I'll arrange it right away. I guarantee they'll all be experienced and capable veterans, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"We don't need too many, just two will do. Don't you still have Qiankun bags? Have them take a few more. One person in charge of laying out the bags, and the other in charge of transporting the gold back and forth. As for the person outside who is in charge of weighing the goods, you can arrange that."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go get someone right away. Sir, would you like to go inside first, or wait here?"

Jiang Hao was about to say that they could just wait here when the sows spoke up first, "We'll go inside and have some tea. We'll call someone and they can knock on the door. Kid, pay up, two thousand gold coins."

If we're talking about those who act like big shots, then we have to go with tens of thousands of sows.

According to the rules of the Black Dragon Hall, you have to pay before entering a room. Jiang Hao readily withdrew 2,000 gold coins and handed them to Old Wang.

"Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie, is room number one in the 'Sun' section alright?"

Tens of thousands of sows lazily said, "It doesn't matter which one, since you brought it up, let's go with number one."

He really put on a very smooth act.

Once inside the room and the door closed, the sows didn't offer tea or offer a seat. Instead, they grabbed Jiang Hao, pulled out a bright orange skill book from their pockets, and shoved it into his arms without waiting for him to accept it.

"Kid, hurry up and pack it up, it's a big treasure! A precious treasure!"

Just as Jiang Hao was about to reach out and take a look, he was stopped by tens of thousands of sows.

"Listen to me, don't look yet! Anyway, it's good stuff, and we don't have much time, so listen to me first."

Seeing that the door was still closed, Jiang Hao stuffed the skill book into his arms again, feeling reassured, before looking at the tens of thousands of sows.

"How much have your attributes increased by the Heart of Immortality?"

Jiang Hao answered honestly, "A little over 180,000."

The tens of thousands of sows were somewhat surprised and said, "You've had the Heart of Immortality for several days now, haven't you? How come you only have this much?"

Jiang Hao blushed instantly. Since obtaining the Heart of Immortality, he had indeed become somewhat lax in his monster-hunting. First, at the Desolate Peak Pass, which should have been a great opportunity to improve, he was so focused on the little skeleton that he didn't seriously fight any monsters. Later, in the Killing Battlefield, he thought it was a one-sided affair anyway, and as long as he eliminated the important enemies, he could leave the rest to the other players.

Thus, he wasted two excellent opportunities. Now, questioned by tens of thousands of sows, Jiang Hao was filled with shame and could not utter a single word.

"Kid, you can't do this. Have you forgotten how the gnolls slaughtered the two-legged merfolk of the entire realm? Have you forgotten the God-Slaying Curse that Archmage Oron gave you? The City Lord of Jinling City has staked his entire fortune on you. And everyone in your realm is counting on you to save them. Are you going to try and fool them with those 180,000 all-attribute points?"

Jiang Hao wanted to mention that he also had the three-star Killing Heart and the four-star King's Warrior attribute bonuses. But were these really earned through his own efforts?

Jiang Hao wondered to himself, if in the battle at Qiongfeng Pass, instead of placing all his hopes on the little skeleton, he had instead taken the lead and struck it down one by one with a stick. Although it would have been much more arduous, the attribute value of the Immortal Heart would have been raised to an unimaginable level.

Let alone 100,000, even a million, ten million, or even tens of millions is not impossible.

In this way, he wouldn't be so passive on the final arena of the killing battlefield. Even pulling 20 epic-level monsters was so difficult, requiring the help of several summoned creatures. As for that legendary-level monster, Jiang Hao couldn't believe that the disappearance of those 5000 players was entirely due to his lack of effort.

Jiang Hao was initially smug as he led several thousand three-star king warriors and eight four-star king warriors away from the battlefield. But now, his smugness vanished, replaced by a burning sensation on his face—a feeling far worse than being slapped dozens of times.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. You can keep the skill book that the chairman asked me to give you."

"Oh, the chairman is the chairman of our Lingxu Management Committee. He has high expectations for you and specifically asked me to give you this skill book."

Jiang Hao felt even more ashamed and curious. Why would the chairman of the Lingxu Management Committee, who was not related to him, give him a skill book?

"At the Lingxu United Conference, the chairman saw through the Gnoll Empire's conspiracy. He was unable to stop the Gnoll Empire's slaughter at the conference and felt sorry for the human race and your realm, so he entrusted me to deliver this skill book to you."

"He also told me to tell you to raise the attribute value of the Immortal Heart to fifty million as soon as possible, and then learn this skill book as soon as possible."

"I didn't expect that, haha~"

Jiang Hao wished he could just disappear into the room and never come out again.

After mocking the tens of thousands of sows enough, he walked to the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said earnestly, "I know you want to improve the strength of your summoned creatures, and I also know you want to bring out a group of your own friends to increase your influence. I understand all of that."

"You've clearly misjudged the timing. When you can still be easily killed by Oron with a single finger, what's the point of all this? Only when you're strong enough to instantly kill Oron will what you're doing have any meaning."

"The chairman asked me to tell you that this skill book may be the last bit of help the Lingxu Management Committee can give to your realm."

Jiang Hao finally had a chance to speak, and immediately said, "Hey? Just one skill book? Isn't your chairman being a bit stingy?"

"Heh! Do you even know what level the skill book you're carrying is?"

"What level? Could it be some kind of ultimate technique from a Grand Mage?"

"Grand Master?"

Tens of thousands of sows chuckled. They leaned close to Jiang Hao's ear and whispered something.

"Kid, broaden your horizons a bit! That's a secret technique left behind by a God of Magic! I'm afraid you won't find another one like it in the entire Spirit Ruins, across tens of thousands of realms!"
