Chapter 373 - Number One Wolf In The World

Chapter 373 - Number One Wolf In The World

Xiaolang finally stopped his attacks and turned back into his cute, tiny form. He returned to Long Chen, and despite his cute looks, he maintained a serious expression, which made him even more adorable.

Murong Yu looked at Long Chen, then at Xiaolang. She was still in disbelief.

“Is the little wolf that powerful?” Murong Yu croaked out, biting her lip.

“Of course! Xiaolang is the number one wolf in the world!” Long Chen laughed, then he looked at Murong Yu in amusement and said, “What do you think? The Frost Soul Essence is in my hands now. Do you have a problem with that?”

“This little wolf sent Yang Danfeng running for his life, so how could I be a match for it? I’m not an idiot. Since you were able to take it, it’s yours. This outcome is much better than letting that jerk Yang Danfeng get it. However, Long Chen, how did you know we’re fighting for the Frost Soul Essence?”

“I saw Yang Jun and the others looking for it with a map, so I snatched it from them and came here. Thank goodness I arrived in time, or Yang Danfeng would have gotten it,” said Long Chen.

Murong Yu felt like her heart was a mess as she looked at his impassive expression. She was more powerful than Long Chen, but in her heart, he was still mysterious and powerful. The Frost Soul Essence was with him now, and she was willing to admit defeat.

He had the Frost Soul Essence, and there was no need to search for more Fire Essences. He only had to wait one more day to leave the Pyro Passageways. He had obtained a huge haul from this trip, and his cultivation would strengthen once more now that he had the Frost Soul Essence.

Since he and Murong Yu were not close friends, it was understandably awkward. Therefore, he nodded and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll see you tomorrow. I need to go get more Fire Essences.”

“How many do you have so far?” she asked hurriedly. When she asked the question, she realized she had overstepped. Since they were competitors, and the number of Fire Essences determined whether they would receive the Demon Seed Planting Technique, telling each other how many they had was not quite appropriate.

“Fire Essences? About two thousand,” replied Long Chen without thinking much of it. To be honest, since she had helped him before, he basically saw her as a good friend. There was no need to hide small matters like this from a friend.

“Two thousand?” Murong Yu was tongue-tied. She eyed him up and down, saw the corner of his lips curl up, then said a little angrily, “How dare you lie to me! Alright, I won’t keep you from your search for Fire Essences! But let me remind you that if you want to get the Demon Seed Planting Technique, you’d best get at least five hundred Fire Essences. It’s safer that way. There are eight of them after all. If you want the second stage, you’ll need eight hundred ... This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

“Right now, counting the Divine Essence Crystals, I have the equivalent of more than seven hundred Fire Essences. I don’t know how many Yang Danfeng has, but I believe he has around the same amount.” Murong Yu did not hold back and told him her number so he would be mentally prepared.

“Thank you very much!” Long Chen could tell that she was being nice to him and looked at her gratefully. He bade her farewell, then turned to leave with Xiaolang.

Murong Yu stood in the spot, dazed as she watched him leave. It was only when he disappeared that she came back to her senses ...

Murong Yu looked much more carefree than them, tagging along at the back.

When the three Demon Elders spotted Long Chen, they shot him cold, deathly glares, causing goosebumps to pop up all over his body. Since they had not announced the number of Fire Essences yet, the three Demon Elders were currently concerned about who had taken the Frost Soul Essence. That was something they had meticulously prepared for their number one disciples, yet Long Chen had reaped the fruit of their labor. When they heard the news, even the First Demon Elder almost fainted from rage.

At this point, the rage they felt towards Long Chen could no longer be described with words.

However, what frustrated them was that they could not rage at Long Chen in public, because the Frost Soul Essence was a secret between them and their disciples. Usually, treasures found in the Pyro Passageways belonged to the Heavenly Demon Palace, but the three Demon Elders had kept it for themselves behind Zhao Qingyun’s back. This was already a wrongdoing, so they could not publicly ask Long Chen for a trade.

When they saw that their disciples had been hurt by Long Chen, they were even angrier.

Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, they had to keep it inside.

“Since everyone has arrived, then we shall not delay any longer. Let’s head to the Demon Pavilion to announce the results, then decide who shall receive the Demon Seed Planting Technique!”

Zhao Qingyun was no fool, so of course he saw their dark expressions. He knew that they were like that because Long Chen had beaten their disciples up in the Pyro Passageways.

He finally had a direct disciple who was superior to the others, so although Zhao Qingyun did not say it, he was privately smug.

He led the whole group towards the Demon Pavilion. Since the Pyro Passageways training exercise was finally over, it had caused a huge commotion in the Heavenly Demon Palace. All the disciples and elders were very concerned about who would receive the Demon Seed Planting Technique, so many disciples had already gathered outside the Demon Pavilion. Almost all the elders, Enforces, and Pavilion Lords were already waiting inside.

When Zhao Qingyun arrived, the Heavenly Demon Palace disciples started to chatter. They looked behind him excitedly and indeed, the disciples that had gone into the Pyro Passageways were with him. But why was the atmosphere so strange?

Long Chen was next to Zhao Qingyun, both with identical expressions on their faces. On the other hand, the three Demon Elders had the same expressions as their disciples. Long Chen was naturally joyful, whereas the Demon Elders’ expressions were each darker than the last. Was this indicative of something?

Did it mean ...

Had Long Chen found more Fire Essences than them? More than Yang Jun?

All faces were filled with disbelief.

“That’s impossible. He’s just pretending. Once he shows the number of Fire Essences he has, you’ll know who the victor is!” one of them said with a laugh.
