Chapter 3285
"Little snake, what abilities do you have after reaching the Soul Refine Realm?" Fade asked.
Fire Dragon looked at him ostentatiously. "Boss, just watch."
With that, it immediately turned into a shadow and soared into the air at an amazing speed.
After a while, Fade heard a few slight sounds, and then he saw that Fire Dragon returned to the cave with several vicious beasts in its mouth.
Fade was slightly surprised when he saw these vicious beasts. It was because these vicious beasts were all at the Stage 1 or 2 of the Soul Refine Realm. In terms of strength, they were even a bit higher than Fire Dragon.
However, right then, these vicious beasts had all died.
Is that all?" Fade raised his eyebrows.
It was not unusual for him to kill someone who was higher in level.
After all, he was an expert who went beyond a realm higher than himself to kill his enemies.
Fire Dragon laughed and said to him, "Boss, take a closer look."
Fade looked at the vicious beasts again and only then did he discover that there was not a single wound on the skin of these vicious beasts. "Oh? This is interesting!" He nodded slightly.
Fire Dragon continued, "Boss, cut open these vicious beasts and take a look at them first!"
Upon hearing this, Fade burst out an energy blade from his fingertips which turned into a flowing light. With a wave, he cut open the vicious beasts. Then, he let out a cry of surprise.
"Ah!"
It was because although the bodies of these vicious beasts looked fine on the surface, their heads seemed to be burned by flames and had turned into a scorched mass. As Fade cut them open, the scorched black pieces broke apart and turned into a pool of black ashes that scattered all over the place.
"This..."
He was really surprised.
Fire Dragon explained with a proud tone, "Boss, this is the ultimate technique I've comprehended after I've advanced to the Soul Refine Realm. It's the Flame of Divine Soul."
"Flame of Divine Soul!"
Fade thought about the name.
Fire Dragon continued, "My Flame of Divine Soul is a special divine soul attack method that belongs to my family. It can turn the invisible soul energy into flames and burn the opponent's spiritual consciousness until it's destroyed. On the surface, there won't even be a trace of injury."
"Amazing." Fade was slightly surprised.
It continued excitedly, "How about that, Boss? I won't drag you down in the future, right? If you encounter any more enemies, I'll go with you. No one will be able to stop us."
He patted the excited Fire Dragon and said, "Alright, don't get too excited."
"You are just at Stage 1 of the Soul Refine Realm. Don't think that you are invincible! If you encounter a true martial arts expert, it will be troublesome. Just keep a low profile."
Fire Dragon shrank its neck and said, "Boss, isn't the expert in front of you? If we really meet with an enemy, I will know what to do."
He nodded and said, "It's about time. Let's go back to the city!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Fade and Fire Dragon rushed out of the cave and turned into two shadows in the forest, quickly moving towards South Yan City.
At the same time, in another direction of the forest, Masie, who was rescued by Fade, wiped the blood off her long sword and whispered to herself, "Originally, I wanted to kill the Black Scale Python, obtain its beast core to improve my strength, and then participate in the City Contest."
"In the end, I did not expect to meet that fellow to steal my Black Scale Python. All I can do now is kill the other vicious beasts in place of the Black Scale Python."
"Although the beast core of these vicious beasts are at Stage 7 or 8 of the Soul Refine Realm and cannot compare to the beast core of the Black Scale Python, they are still quite effective. My strength has increased a little. I am closer to Stage 9 of the Soul Refine Realm."
"It's time to return."
Just as Fade was hurrying back to South Van City, the Gu family's inner hall was filled with disciples from the various Gu family tribes.
"Tomorrow is the City Contest. Are all the candidates from our Gu family ready?" The head of the Gu family, Devin, sat in the center chair and asked. The head and elders from each Gu family line immediately reported their situation.
"My tribe is ready. We have chosen Alyx!"
"Uzair and Beatrice from our family are ready too."
One report after another, Devin nodded slightly. After all, these people were all recognized as outstanding figures of the Gu family's younger generation. They were also the most acknowledged candidates for the competition.
Until the end, only Talmon remained silent.
Devin frowned slightly, looked at Yarrow, the representative of Talmon's line, and asked, "Yarrow, what about your line?"
Yarrow glanced at Devin, put his hands together and said, "Mr. Devin, we're ready as well."
However, just as he finished speaking, Deniz spoke up. "Yarrow, the City Contest is about to begin tomorrow and you're still lying at such an important moment. What is your intention?"
"He's lying?"
The moment the words left Deniz's mouth, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to him.
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean by he's lying?"
"Did something happen?"
Yarrow's expression darkened. He glared at Deniz and said coldly, "Deniz, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Haha, nonsense?" Deniz sneered and continued, "Yarrow, your tribe forcefully requested a spot before and gave it to an outsider. I think his name is Fade Chen, right?"
"As far as I know, this Fade is not some kind of quiet character. In just a matter of days, he provoked the Loh family and Myriad Treasures Hall, causing them to chase after him relentlessly."
Hearing this, many of the Gu family members immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"He offended the Loh family and Myriad Treasures Hall? Isn't he making enemies for the Gu family?"
"Yarrow, what were you thinking? If you think that there are many spots available, why don't you leave it to other members of the Gu family? There are still many members of the Gu family who do not have a spot and are unable to participate in the contest."
Even the head of the family, Devin, asked at this moment, "Yarrow, is this true?"
When faced with such a query,
Yarrow's face fell and he said, "Mr.
et
Devin, that is indeed the case. However the entire matter is that the Lob family and Myriad Treasures Hall went too far. They bullied Fade first, and he just passively fought back."
"In addition, the Loh family has been the enemy of our Gu family for many years. How can it be regarded as making enemies for our Gu family? In my opinion, some of our people seem to have forgotten about our feud."
The disciples of the Gu family who had spoken earlier lowered their heads.
However, Deniz still refused to let go and continued to ask, "Forget about the Loh family, how are you going to explain the matter regarding Myriad Treasures Hall? Although the Gu family is a great family in South Yan City, a great organization like Myriad Treasures Hall is not someone we can offend at will, let alone an outsider."
This interrogation caused another round of low discussion.
Yarrow's expression darkened. Without explaining, he said, "Fade did indeed offend Myriad Treasures Hall."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"However, they bullied him first. He was just..."
Without waiting for Yarrow to finish, Deniz interrupted him with a sneer. "Yarrow, you're not young anymore. You're already so old. Don't you understand that this is not a matter of who's first and who's last?"
"Even if Fade was right and Myriad Treasures Hall bullied him first, so what?"
"Are you going to make our Gu family go against Myriad Treasures Hall just because of an outsider? Is it worth it?"
Deniz's words won the approval of many of the Gu family members present, and they nodded in succession.
Seeing this, Yarrow understood something and did not explain anymore. He snorted and stood up. "It's not worth it for an outsider? What if it's for a three star alchemist?"
"Three star alchemist? What do you mean? Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Does this have anything to do with what we're talking
about?" Deniz questioned.
Yarrow said firmly, "Of course!"
"That's because Fade is a three star alchemist."
"What!"
The Gu family members were shocked.
"He's a three star alchemist. That's extremely rare."
"A three star alchemist! No matter where he goes, he would be a highly respected big shot!"
Deniz was stunned, but immediately questioned, "Yarrow, in order to justify yourself, you even made up such a lie? Ridiculous."
Devin also said in a deep voice, "Yarrow, this is a serious matter. Don't talk nonsense." The excited Gu family members slowly calmed down at this moment. They looked at Yarrow with eyes full of doubts.
After all, a three star alchemist was definitely a big shot. How could he casually submit to Talmon?
For a moment, many people were sure that Yarrow was lying.
However, Yarrow stood up and said loudly, "I'm not talking nonsense. Fade is indeed a three star alchemist."
"Not long ago, Natalia Tu took Fade in as her disciple and taught him the art of alchemy."
"Later on, he competed with the top alchemist of South Yan Academy, Russell Han. Fade successfully refined a three star medicinal pill on the spot
and defeated Russell."
As soon as these words were said, the scene became lively.
"Madam Tu's disciple; is this true?"
"I've heard of the medicine refining competition in South Yan Academy some time ago. I thought that the news of Russell's defeat was fake!" "That alchemist, was he really Fade, who will fight for our Gu family?"
"If a three star alchemist can represent our Gu family, his value will be immeasurable."
Talmon personally sent someone to confirm the result of the discussion and soon received the result.
Deniz's expression changed drastically.
However, he suddenly thought of something. He snorted and said, "Even so, I still think that Fade is not suitable to represent our Gu family in the City
Contest."
When these words were spoken, the scene was in an uproar. Many people looked at him.
Yarrow was even more furious. He said in a deep voice, "Deniz, are you really going to be like this for your own selfish desires?"
Deniz said, "All my actions are for the sake of the Gu family. I have no selfish desires."
"Even if what you said is true, Fade is a three star alchemist and a disciple of Madam Tu, his future is indeed promising. However..."
"It's not appropriate for him to participate in the City Contest."
"How is it not appropriate?" Yarrow urged. Deniz said coldly, "Because he is representing our Gu family in the City Contest for martial arts, not medicine refining. No matter how outstanding he
is, he can't play a role in the martial arts competition."
"If that is the case, our Gu family will undoubtedly lose this match. At that time, if we lose to the Loh family, our Gu family will have to pay an
enormous price."
"Can you or Fade afford this price?"
In the end, Deniz threw out this question.
