The breakfast in the food box wasn’t particularly luxurious, but it was quite substantial. There were two low-level magic beast eggs for each person, along with fragrant, steaming steamed buns. There was also meat broth, vegetables, and even fruit.

Last night’s exertion had been significant, and they were all young, so it didn’t take them long to devour all the food.

Of the seven, only Caier and Chen Ying’er ate less; the others had appetites that rivaled even adult warriors.

The bald priest, Sima Xian, patted his chest muscles with a satisfied expression. “I wonder when I’ll be able to go back to the battlefield. I wasn’t satisfied yesterday.”

Long Haochen said, “Right, let’s distribute the contribution points.”

“Contribution points? Captain, did you go to the battlefield again yesterday?” Lin Xin asked curiously. He had returned late last night, and Long Haochen had told everyone to rest without mentioning his experiences.

Long Haochen glanced at Caier beside him and said, “Yes. Yesterday, I was summoned by the Military Chief, and I went to the battlefield with him.”

Hearing this, Caier frowned noticeably.

Long Haochen didn’t intend to hide anything from Caier, because he didn’t want to lie to her, even with good intentions. However, the same event could evoke vastly different feelings depending on how it was presented.

“The Chief is actually Caier’s father. After my aunt saw Caier and me returning to bed last night, she must have told the Chief. That’s why I was summoned last night.”

“Did they…” Caier grasped Long Haochen’s hand, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Long Haochen smiled. “Do I look like something happened to me? Let me finish.”

“At first, Uncle Sheng was indeed very impolite. He simply made me follow him and lead the Radiant Angel Knight Order onto the battlefield. But in the battle, Uncle Sheng recognized one of the skills I was using. It turned out that he and my father were old acquaintances. Later, I fought alongside Uncle Sheng and learned a lot. Uncle Sheng even gave me a skill book.”

The others looked puzzled. Long Haochen was simplifying the process too much.

Caier looked up. “Is that all?”

Long Haochen said, “Later, facing a powerful enemy, Uncle Sheng used the Rejuvenation Spiritual Stove to protect me. Although he returned safely, he is still unconscious.”

As he said this, Long Haochen watched Caier’s expression change. To his slight dismay, Caier showed no reaction to the news that Sheng Lingxin was unconscious.

“I picked up some kills on the battlefield and accumulated some contribution points, which I’ll distribute to everyone.” In front of everyone, Long Haochen didn’t mention Sheng Lingxin any further. He knew that Caier’s inner knot was difficult to unravel and couldn’t be rushed, especially since it was her personal matter.

Wang Yuanyuan asked doubtfully, “Isn’t that unnecessary? These were all earned by you alone, not by fighting enemies together.”

Long Haochen chuckled. “Our team is still in the process of integrating. It was my suggestion to share contribution points, so how can I not set an example? If it weren’t for Lin Xin’s pills, I might not have even made it back alive. Let’s divide it evenly. If anyone particularly needs contribution points in the future, would we not help them? I think that while the combat coordination we’re building during this trial is important, what’s even more important is the bond we share. We’re partners, like brothers and sisters. Contribution points are good, but they can only reach their full potential when used where they’re needed most. We are seven as one, isn’t sharing contribution points the best way?”

As he spoke, he took out a contribution point testing gem to check his own points.

When Long Haochen distributed the contribution points to everyone, they were all a little dumbfounded because there were simply too many.

When they fought together, each person only got a little over twenty contribution points, but this time Long Haochen gave each person over fifty. In the end, everyone’s contribution points averaged over seventy-three.

Seeing everyone’s strange looks, Long Haochen chuckled. “I was picking up kills behind Uncle Sheng’s back. I killed about a few dozen Emerald Dual Blade Demons to get so many contribution points. I estimate that we’re definitely the team with the most contribution points now. You guys didn’t see how powerful Uncle Sheng’s Rejuvenation Spiritual Stove was. It instantly killed hundreds of fifth and sixth-tier demon powerhouses.”

Chen Ying’er giggled. “That’s great. Good luck falling from the sky so early in the morning has made me happy. There are delicious things to eat, and contribution points to share. Captain, it’s really nice to follow you.”

Sima Xian laughed and said, “Ying’er is right, Haochen, I originally only admired your strength, but now I also admire your character. You truly deserve to be the captain. It doesn’t seem like there’s a chance to go to the upper city right now, what are we doing now?”

Long Haochen said, “Everyone should continue to cultivate. I’ll help everyone test their internal and external spiritual power values first.”

Monitoring everyone’s internal and external spiritual power was necessary. Gao Yingjie had told Long Haochen that the higher the cultivation level, the more important it was to monitor and form good team habits. This would facilitate the allocation of resources for the entire team. For example, if a member’s cultivation was close to breaking through, the team could spend money to purchase a suitable pill to save a lot of time and improve the overall strength of the team.

Soon, the test results were out.

In descending order, the number one in external spiritual power was Wang Yuanyuan, as high as five hundred and twenty-four. This was an extremely terrifying number among fifth-tier warriors. The second was actually Caier, with four hundred and forty-six. Long Haochen’s external spiritual power was three hundred and ninety-six, Sima Xian’s was three hundred and sixty-two, and Han Yu’s was two hundred and seventy-five.

As for the two who were related to magic, it was better not to count their external spiritual power, it was less than one hundred… When it came to internal spiritual power, Caier was the number one, with two thousand five hundred and ninety. This was already the level of a fifth-tier third level. Coupled with her Reincarnation Daughter physique, even without considering the extremely harsh Reincarnation Spiritual Stove, she was the strongest among them.

Internal spiritual power second was Lin Xin, internal spiritual power of two thousand three hundred and eighty-five, followed by Han Yu, two thousand two hundred and seventy. Wang Yuanyuan had two thousand one hundred and sixty, and Long Haochen was only fifth, with two thousand and ninety-five. Although his internal spiritual power was only ranked fifth, his actual combat power was second only to Caier, and he had only broken through in the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition. This speed of internal spiritual power improvement was already quite amazing. After all, after the fifth tier, the increase in internal spiritual power was significantly slower.

Sixth was Sima Xian, with one thousand nine hundred and twenty, and Chen Ying’er was at the bottom, with one thousand eight hundred and fifty. Recently, the two had been cultivating with Spirit Gathering Pills, and the improvement was still quite obvious.

Seeing their own and their companions’ spiritual power numbers, everyone’s eyes eventually focused on Caier. Everyone expected Caier’s internal spiritual power to be number one, but her external spiritual power was actually as high as four hundred, higher than Sima Xian and Long Haochen when they were not berserk. What kind of strength was this! Moreover, Caier should still be the youngest of them all.

After Long Haochen carefully recorded everyone’s current spiritual power situation, he said, “Okay, everyone start cultivating. But don’t consume too much spiritual power, in case we are called to participate in the battle at any time.”

Lin Xin had just obtained the corpses of the Emerald Dual Blade Demon and the Beta Flying Demon yesterday, which were perfect for making medicine. On the battlefield, the consumption of pills was imaginable. Moreover, this was a good thing to save lives. Although he wouldn’t attack, his contribution and importance to the Demon Hunt Squad was no less than anyone else. Naturally, he had to use his greatest advantage.

Most of the others chose to cultivate spiritual power, especially Sima Xian and Chen Ying’er, who did not yet have liquid spiritual power and needed to improve in this area the most.

Long Haochen pulled Caier back to their bed.

Long Haochen whispered, “Caier, aren’t you going to see Uncle Sheng?”

Caier seemed a little silent, but eventually shook her head. “I know about the Rejuvenation Spiritual Stove, he will be fine. I’ll cultivate first.” As she spoke, she had already climbed onto the bed, sat down on the side and closed her eyes to cultivate.

Looking at her with pity, Long Haochen sat down opposite her, but instead of cultivating spiritual power, he took out the Transference Skill book that Sheng Lingxin had given him and read it carefully.

The book containing the Transference skill was very thin, only seven or eight pages. Long Haochen read it very carefully, and gradually, a hint of surprise appeared on his handsome face.

The Transference skill was very unique. It was called a skill, but it was more like a method of using spiritual power. The skill itself had no attack or defense capabilities. But it was very practical.

The so-called Transference was actually a special ability to store other skills in one’s body.

After using this skill, you could store any skill that you could use in your body, which was equivalent to the accumulation of spiritual power. After storing it, you could instantly release this skill at any time. However, when storing it, the whole person must be in a semi-meditative state, at least the body cannot move, and even less can it fight.

After the storage was completed, the skill must be released within an hour, otherwise the accumulated spiritual power would dissipate on its own.

After the skill was preserved through Transference, it would not continuously consume spiritual power, nor would it affect the recovery of spiritual power. With Transference, it could be said that the practitioner had an extra strongest skill that could be instantly released at any time.

However, Transference also had its limitations. First of all, it was only suitable for warriors, assassins, and knights. It was useless for mages, priests, and summoners. At the same time, Transference was more suitable for skills with spiritual power bursts, and not for skills that required technique.

For example, Long Haochen’s Fighting Kill Whirlwind Sword could not be accumulated through Transference. The Fighting Kill Whirlwind Sword required a perfect combination of spiritual power and technique.

But skills like Holy Sword were very suitable.

After Long Haochen finished reading the entire skill book, he thought for a while and came up with several possibilities. If used well, Transference could completely become an ability to save his own life. It was indeed a first-class secret skill! Moreover, this was still a self-created skill, created by the ninth-tier Hero, Sheng Yue.
