is it a typo? iirc in previous issues purple spirit rings were 10 thousand not 1 thousand. also struggling to believe that somebody with only 3 rings managed to get one .
(Also their threat of leaving the spirit power, then pressing the distress button is nonsensical, when the victims could just go straight ahead and escape with the button..)
This is chapter 144 in the web novel and has the same name if anyone would like to read a bit more in depth information about what happens in this fight.
@Azsy i always figured till now they were just using the wrong names , but yeah its def fucked if they think kids are getting 10k rings. in the original they werent getting them till they were atleast rank like 40 at the earliest iirc.
