Chapter 119: The Wager, Ninth-Tier Fire Elemental Crystal Core

“Teacher.”

Ulysses said slowly, “More than a hundred years have passed, and you’re still the same. Without the new understanding of the Earth elemental laws, your strength hasn’t improved at all.”

Ulysses tossed the green soil in his hand and said with a smile, “This magic stone contains the power of the Earth elemental laws you want, as well as this light wing.”

Ulysses looked at Saloyan on the other side.

Saloyan stared at the feather in his hand and said through gritted teeth, “What do you want?”

After being holy, the path of mages and knights became similar.

There was only one way to improve, and that was to comprehend the power of the elemental laws of this element.

For example, Harriet, the more earth elemental laws he comprehended, the stronger he became.

Most of the law lines in the void were repetitive, and the new and rare law lines were often hidden in some treasures.

Just like the magic stone in Ulysses’ hands, and the light wings.

“I’ve said it before, let’s take a gamble. I have what you want, and you also have what I want.”

Ulysses looked at Saloyan and said calmly, “Two hundred years ago, the Chief Inquisitor of the Southern Region’s Cult of Shadows lost his legacy weapon, the ‘Slaughtering Blade’. In fact, it has always been in the collection of your Cult of Light, right?”

“My good friend Grover has just recently become the Chief Inquisitor. He has always wanted this weapon very much.”

Grover smiled sinisterly.

Saloyan hesitated but quickly nodded his head.

“Alright!”

Compared to an evil weapon that had no effect on him at all, it was clear that the temptation of the wings of light was much greater.

Soon, a strangely shaped weapon that looked like a huge sickle appeared in his hand. The surroundings were constantly emitting a dense murderous and dark aura.

Grover’s eyes shone with greed. He could not wait to pounce on Saloyan and snatch the weapon from him.

Ulysses nodded in satisfaction and looked at Harriet.

“Teacher, you should know what I want.”

Harriet was silent. He struggled and took out a pitch-black bead from his interspatial ring.

“That’s right, teacher. You still know me so well.”

Ulysses looked at the bead in Harriet’s hand. His eyes were filled with joy and amazement.

“Then the game will begin happily. As long as the Holy Church’s points surpass ours, the wings of light will belong to you, your eminence.”

“As long as the combined points of the Alcott Empire and the Yheng Empire exceed the points of the Dark Church, they will be able to take the magic stone from my hands.”

Ulysses had made a bet with both sides.

He looked like he was at a disadvantage, but he still had a smile on his face, as if he had absolute confidence that the Dark Church’s trial-takers would be able to win.

Grover laughed strangely as well.

The poison dragon sat in the sky behind Ulysses, staring coldly at the crowd. The atmosphere gradually became subtle and tense.

After entering the Magical Beast Forest, Joelson kept going deeper.

There were two main reasons.

First, the deeper he went into the forest, the higher the level of the magical beast, and the more precious the magical beast essence crystals he could obtain.

Second, only by going deeper into the Magical Beast Forest and keeping a distance from the others could he summon du Lu and the steel dragon to hunt without any scruples.

After running in the forest for a period of time, Joelson felt that there were no other trial-takers around him. He immediately cast the air-type spells “invisibility spell” and “flight spell” and rose into the air and flew into the depths of the forest of magical beasts.

After flying for more than half a day, he could no longer see the entrance of the forest of magical beasts. At first glance, he could only see a green forest of trees.

Joelson had been carefully checking the aura of the magical beasts in the forest below him.

Tier 8 magical beast, iron-armored rhinoceros.

A light flashed in Joelson’s eyes.

It was almost here.

No longer hiding his body, Joelson threw a thick pillar of fire at the iron-armored rhinoceros.

The tier 8 pillar of fire landed on the back of the iron-armored rhinoceros’s armor. The blazing flames burned it until it cried out in pain.

Not far away, more than ten armored rhinoceros suddenly jumped out from the bushes and riverside.

When they saw Joelson, their eyes were blood-red. They were all furious!

So this kind of magical beast still lived in groups?!

Not only was Joelson not frightened, but he was also very surprised. He called out in a low voice, “Come out, Du Lu.”

A terrifying draconic aura spread out from the void. Du Lu’s ferocious and terrifying huge body was in the sky.

The owner of this small piece of the forest had changed!

Joy flashed in Joelson’s eyes, and he lightly rode on Du Lu’s back, fiercely diving down towards the rhinoceroses.

…

Du Lu grabbed an iron-armored rhinoceros and slowly bit it.

Joelson jumped down from its back.

The iron-armored rhinoceroses’ corpse fell to the ground in a mess, and this small piece of land was cleared of trees. Flames burned, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

The eighth-tier magic beast, the iron-armored rhinoceros, besides its magic beast core, its skin also had a very good defense. It could be made into light leather armor.

Its blood did not have much magic ductility, so it was a rare magic material.

After Joelson dug out the magic beast core of the iron-armored rhinoceros, he also put their bodies into the space of the Dragon God Ranch.

The space of the Dragon God Ranch was very large, so it wouldn’t be a problem for it to hold a few corpses of the magic beasts.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Joelson continued to drive Du Lu deeper into the place.

Soon, he met the first tier 9 magic beast, the Inferno Lion.

The fire element overlord of the ninth tier of the deep forest was the size of a small hill. It left a scorch mark on the ground as it walked.

However, when it met Du Lu, the inferno lion was naturally restricted.

The suppression of the dragon’s might and the immunity to fire attacks.

After half an hour of fierce battle, the inferno lion was grabbed into the air by Du Lu and torn in half.

“A ninth rank magical beast core.”

Joelson dug out a fist-sized hot core from the Inferno Lion’s head. It was beautiful red in color, and extremely dense fire elements were emitted from it.

“It’s much better than the grade-8 mana core on the tungsten wood staff.”

Joelson said in a low voice, “I can keep it to make a better staff. Of course, the prerequisite is that I can win this trial.”

The loser had to hand in all the magic beast mana cores that they had hunted as a reward for the winner.

Joelson roughly calculated that the magic beast mana core that he had now, if converted into points, would be about 3,100 points.

It was a terrifying number.

This was all because of dDu Lu.

If it were any other tier 8 mage, they would have to take a detour even if they ran into a group of iron-armored rhinoceroses, not to mention challenging a tier 9 magic beast, the raging flame lion.

“If you want to win on your own, these points are far from enough.”

Joelson jumped on du Lu’s back and patted its head. Du Lu, who had eaten its fill, continued to advance into the depths of the magic beast forest.
