Even in his own hands, these fragments did not stay put, but instead emitted black pollution, trying to penetrate into Lu Ban's skin and seep into his blood.

This level of pollution is like a tickle to Lu Ban.

For ordinary people, this will cause serious mental harm and may even lead to mental illness.

But for people like the Ninth Clan who have been somewhat polluted and have mastered supernatural powers, this pollution can catalyze their abilities and take them to a higher level.

Of course, it also depends on the degree of contact.

Holding it in your hand has this effect, but eating it directly like the rabbit is another story altogether.

"Even for the sake of others, I have to collect these fragments as soon as possible."

Lu Ban thought to himself.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Du Ming didn't dare to approach Lu Ban, he asked from a distance.

"No problem."

Lu Ban wiped the blood off his hands with the tablecloth.

"There should be no fragments here. You can look for them somewhere else, but I suggest you not to look for them anymore."

After walking out of the house, Lu Ban looked around again and found no fragments.

"By the way, Mr. Du, you probably didn't see anything just now, right?"

Finally, Lu Ban turned around and asked Du Ming.

Du Ming was standing next to the pool of black water. When he heard Lu Ban's voice behind him, he shuddered with fear and turned around quickly.

“No, I didn’t see it.”

Du Ming replied.

"That's good."

Lu Ban smiled kindly.

He has already got three of the nine fragments, which is almost enough.

Back in the yard, Lu Ban saw several other people.

I have three fragments.

Blind Zhang took out the second piece from somewhere.

Dai Yuanyang has three pieces.

Only He Chong got one piece.

The nine fragments were found in less than an hour.

"So currently, Brother Lu has eight points, Dai Yuanyang has seven points, Elder Zhang has four points, I have three points, and Elder Shi has one point."

Qi Ye summed it up in one sentence.

He glanced at Lu Ban.

"The young are to be feared."

"Good luck, good luck."

Lu Ban said modestly.

"We can rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will have the third competition."

Qi Ye wiped the sweat off his face. The Jiangcheng Mountain was hot and humid at night. The sticky air was like some kind of monster, constantly licking people's skin and making them sweat. Although the temperature was not very high, it gave people an indescribable feeling of stuffiness.

If there are physical and magical differences between the north and the south regarding cold, then the perception of heat by people across the country should be similar.

On a night like this, I would definitely not be able to sleep without air conditioning.

Lu Ban felt like he was about to melt.

Oh, he can really melt, that's okay.

Seeing that everyone else was preparing to go back to the house to sleep or find a place to drink tea and chat, Lu Ban hurriedly raised his hand.

"I have something to trouble you all."

After hearing Lu Ban's words, everyone who were about to disperse looked over.

"Since the second round of competition has come to an end, I think no one has any use for this fragment. I'm a little curious and want to put it together to see what it looks like, so could you please lend me this fragment?"

When scholars borrow, they definitely borrow.

If you borrow, you must return it, and it will not be difficult to borrow again.

At worst, when Lu Ban returns to the modern era, he can show the assembled fate jadeite to He Jiaoyang, which will be considered as repayment.

Lu Ban is very reasonable.

"?"

A question mark appeared over Qi Ye’s head.

However, he did not expect that there was such an angle. Qi Ye himself did not have a single piece. He looked at those who had found the jade pendant fragments.

"It's really useless to keep this thing here. Since you want it, I'll give it to you."

Blind Zhang handed the two pieces in his hand to Lu Ban.

He Chong glanced at Lu Ban, and with some awe, he handed what he had in his hand to Lu Ban.

Only Dai Yuanyang is left.

"This jade pendant fragment can improve our abilities to a certain extent. What do you mean by taking it away?"

He speaks his mind.

"I'm just curious."

Lu Ban answered, but obviously, his answer could not convince Dai Yuanyang.

Not to mention, after touching this fate jade and feeling the power contained in it, Dai Yuanyang would not let it go easily. He even wanted to collect them all and take them back to the professors in the laboratory for research.

"Then give it to me and I'll spell it out for you. I'll tell you the answer after I spell it out. You don't have to spend time figuring it out."

Dai Yuanyang refused to give in.

"No, I want to enjoy the process of doing it."

Lu Ban also spoke to himself.

"Are you unreasonable? Look at what you are saying."

Dai Yuanyang even felt that Lu Ban was making far-fetched arguments.

"No, I'm reasonable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ban raised his hand and the silver pen [Last Words] materialized.

Dai Yuanyang naturally couldn't see what was in Lu Ban's hand. He only felt that some kind of threat was brewing in front of him. Subconsciously, Dai Yuanyang wanted to tamper with Lu Ban's cognition and make him think that the distance between them was closer.

But before that, Lu Ban had already written a few words on Dai Yuanyang's forehead.

[Fainted to the ground].

Dai Yuanyang only felt dizzy and a strong sense of vertigo attacked him. Before Dai Yuanyang could react, he lost consciousness.

Lu Ban supported Dai Yuanyang, laid him on the ground, and took the three pieces from his hands.

When the effect lasted and Dai Yuanyang completely fainted, Lu Ban stood up.

He saw several other people looking at him with complicated expressions.

If you say that Lu Ban did something wrong, then it was indeed wrong. He was blatantly robbing.

But Dai Yuanyang's previous behavior made people feel that he deserved it.

Since I have no interest in this thing anyway, I might as well give it to Lu Ban.

As for Dai Yuanyang, he brought it upon himself.

"Brother Lu, this..."

He Chong wanted to ask more, but when he saw Lu Ban looking at him, he immediately changed his mind.

"If you spell it out, please show it to me. I'm curious too."

"I'm curious too, Mr. Lu."

Du Ming also responded. The sight of Lu Ban tearing the monster apart with his bare hands was still vivid in his mind. He didn't dare to provoke Lu Ban.

Anyway, Lu Ban had no ill will towards him. Compared to Dai Yuanyang who sought help from foreigners, Lu Ban was still a better person.

"Okay, if I can spell it out, I'll definitely show you guys."

Lu Ban smiled brilliantly.

He and several others dragged Dai Yuanyang into the room, and he returned to his own guest room.

Nine pieces of debris were placed on the table. Lu Ban turned on [True Vision] and quickly found the pattern between the fragments.

He thought of some puzzle-solving UP hosts on old video sites who would make videos of solving jigsaw puzzles or solving puzzle toys, many of which looked very painful.

Lu Ban spent several minutes putting the pieces together.

A piece of emerald green jade appeared in Lu Ban's palm.

【Emerald of Fate】
