Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 57: Distributing Merit Points Based on Merit, Light Elemental Spirit

The entire noisy battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Both the members of the demon-hunting team who were fighting a bloody battle and the demons who were in a panic were completely stunned by this scene.

Long Haochen had just beheaded a dual-wielding demon with a single sword strike. Upon seeing this scene, his sword faltered slightly, and his face was filled with shock.

He knew that Li Hao was very strong and could kill the peak eighth-tier Saigong Demon God.

But knowing and seeing are two completely different concepts!

That's a seventh-tier Beta Flying Demon!

Even if their entire second-class demon hunter squad joined forces, they would likely be defeated by the enemy.

But in Li Hao's hands, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, so effortless.

Yang Wenzhao immediately stopped his charge.

Looking at Li Hao's nonchalant back, the last trace of resentment and competitiveness in her heart completely vanished.

Instead, there is a deep-seated reverence and...

Rejoice!

Fortunately, this person was their commander-in-chief, not their enemy.

"Quickly kill the demons, burn the supplies, and retreat!"

Li Hao's voice broke the brief silence.

He walked over to the corpse of the bloodthirsty Beta, reached out and casually put the metal box hanging around its neck into his storage ring.

Then, without even glancing at the terrified sorcerers, his inner energy of light and fire erupted.

He could casually conjure fireballs the size of human heads.

Like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden, the raindrops landed precisely on the supply wagons laden with grain and fodder.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A raging fire shot into the sky. The dry grain and fodder, upon encountering Li Hao's domineering flames, instantly ignited into a raging inferno, and the fire spread rapidly.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, clearing out the remaining demons while setting the grain carts on fire using various methods.

The entire battlefield quickly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

They come quickly and they go quickly!
When the distant demon camp finally spotted the towering flames from their rear supply depot, they sent scouts to investigate.

Li Hao had already led everyone away and disappeared into the vast hills, leaving behind only a mess and billowing black smoke.

……

Exorcism City, Military Command Hall.

Saint Moon looked at the team before her, which had returned almost unscathed, yet each member exuded a murderous aura.

His cloudy eyes revealed undisguised approval.

"Okay! Well done!"

Slamming her hand on the table, Sheng Yue laughed loudly, "You have done a tremendous service this time!"

"The three thousand demon escort team was almost completely wiped out. More importantly, at least a month's worth of their food supplies were burned to ashes!"

"This is enough to give the demon army outside the city a run for their money!"

Inside the hall, the members of the ten demon-hunting teams were all beaming with excitement and anticipation.

That battle was incredibly satisfying.

Saint Moon's gaze swept over everyone, and she announced loudly, "All the Demon Hunter teams deserve credit for this operation!"

"In recognition of merit, each of the ten demon-hunting teams will receive an additional 200 merit points! These will be distributed by the team leaders themselves!"

"Wow——!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the other nine demon-hunting teams, apart from the Fire Cloud Demon-Hunting Team, immediately erupted in cheers.

Two hundred merit points!
For these newcomers who are just starting out and whose merit points are still in the double digits, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

The people looked at Li Hao with eyes full of gratitude.

They knew very well that without Li Hao, let alone completing the mission, it would be questionable whether any of the sixty-one of them could even return alive.

After reporting the entire operation, Li Hao did not linger.

They returned to their base at Camp One with the members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Group.

Back in the familiar barracks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the excitement on their faces hadn't faded yet.

Li Hao looked at everyone, smiled, and began his post-battle summary.

"Everyone performed very well in this mission."

"Wang Yuanyuan's frontal charge, Sima Xian's violent output, and Zhong Li's precise assassination all played key roles."

“Especially Chen Ying’er, your rock behemoth was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.”

They all smiled when they were singled out for praise.

Chen Ying'er, in particular, had a flushed face, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Hao paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't like egalitarianism."

"Merit is merit, and rewards are based solely on merit!"

He raised his wrist and manipulated his merit token.

Soon, the tokens of Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, Chen Ying'er, and Zhong Li all lit up faintly.

“I’ve allocated 1,000 merit points to each of you.”

"What?!" Lin Xin and Sima Xian jumped up almost simultaneously.

Lin Xin stared wide-eyed at his token, his breathing quickening as he saw the thousand merit points added to it.

"One...one thousand merit points? Commander, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Sima Xian stammered, feeling like he was dreaming.

A thousand merits!

How many demons would I have to kill to earn that much?

Li Hao said calmly, "This is what you deserve. There will be many more missions in the future. As long as you perform well, you will be rewarded with merits."

"Long live the commander!" Lin Xin, the money-grubber, was the first to let out a thunderous cheer.

The way they looked at Li Hao was as if they were looking at a living God of Wealth.

"The commander is mighty! The commander is awesome!"

Sima Xian also started yelling, wishing she could hug Li Hao and kiss him a couple of times.

Although Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Ying'er, and Zhong Li weren't as exaggerated as them, the excitement and joy in their eyes were also palpable.

As for Li Hao, he still has over 500,000 merit points left...

Just admire them; that's a height they can never reach.

Following such a generous and unfathomably powerful leader is their greatest fortune.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the joy of receiving a huge sum of money, Wang Yuanyuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Hao curiously.

"By the way, Captain, what treasure was inside that box you got from that seventh-tier flying demon?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on Li Hao again.

Chen Ying'er, Lin Xin, and others also gathered around, looking on with anticipation.

Being carried by a seventh-tier magical beast and radiating a bright aura, it is definitely not an ordinary item.

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't keep him in suspense any longer.

He took out the antique metal box from his storage ring.

The box is small and feels slightly cool to the touch, with some strange patterns that I can't understand engraved on it.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Li Hao slowly opened the box.

A soft, holy white light emanated from the box, illuminating the entire barracks as bright as day.

As the light faded, the contents of the box were finally revealed to everyone.

It was a tiny figure curled up in the center of the box.

She looked like an exquisitely crafted porcelain doll, about half a foot tall, wearing a pure white short skirt.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, almost completely covering her small body.

Behind her were a pair of crystal-clear [eyes/boobs].

Wings that seemed to be carved from the purest crystal fluttered slightly with her breath.

She was fast asleep, her eyes tightly closed.

Her long eyelashes cast soft shadows on her fair face, making her look incredibly pure and lovely.

"Holy crap! This...this is..."

Sima Xian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he pointed at the little thing in the box, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

The others also looked stunned.

Immediately, a noun burst from their mouths in unison.

"Light Elemental Spirit!"

That's right, it's a light element spirit!

Legend has it that this darling of heaven and earth was born from the purest and most primordial element of light by a fortuitous coincidence.

It is itself a top-tier elemental furnace with self-awareness and the ability to continuously grow and evolve.

Its preciousness and rarity are unparalleled in the world!

"Oh my god, the commander's luck is too good!" Chen Ying'er covered her mouth, her eyes full of stars.

"It's more than good, it's simply heaven-defying!" Lin Xin exclaimed with envy. "Even in the Temple Alliance's merit exchange center, this kind of treasure is a legendary item that's always priceless and unavailable!"

Everyone sighed with envy for Li Hao's good luck.

At this moment, Lin Xin raised a crucial question: "Commander... what should we do about this?"

All eyes turned to Li Hao once again.

Li Hao's gaze swept over the team members in front of him.

Wang Yuanyuan is a space-attribute warrior, Sima Xian is a violent light-attribute priest, Lin Xin is a fire-attribute mage, and Chen Ying'er is a summoner...

Although his spiritual power contains the attribute of light, its core is fire.

These light elemental spirits are pure and holy, and their attributes do not perfectly match those of any of the other beings.

Forcing a fusion would only be a waste of resources.

Li Hao pondered for a moment, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

He closed the box, blocking out the alluring light.

Then he said decisively, "Hand it over to the military. It will be worth a lot of merit points."
