Chapter 660: Long Teng's Unexpected Request

"Ye Yuan, are you really not the Dragon Lord?"

After settling down, Xiong Zhan's first question was to confirm Ye Yuan's identity.

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I told you I'm not the Dragon Lord."

"But... you clearly have a reverse scale! How could anyone other than the Dragon Lord have a reverse scale?" Xiong Zhan was utterly puzzled.

In this Divine Seal Demon Domain, only true dragons had reverse scales.

If Ye Yuan wasn't the Dragon Lord, who was he?

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Who says having a reverse scale makes you the Dragon Lord? Anyway, I'm really not the Dragon Lord."

"..." Xiong Zhan was speechless for a long time before saying, "Alright, let's drop this for now. The news we brought, Lord Hu Rong simply doesn't believe it! Alas, it's frustrating to say. If Lord Hu Yan were still here, why would I, a mere bear clan member, have to worry about such things? What do you think we should do now?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "One word: wait!"

"Wait?" Xiong Zhan was bewildered.

"Exactly! Just relax and stay here; things will become clear in a few days." Ye Yuan said calmly, seemingly unconcerned.

...

Returning to his quarters, Ye Yuan suddenly felt a stir and entered the Haotian Tower.

"Senior Long Teng, you called for me?"

A figure appeared before Ye Yuan—it was Long Teng.

Since Ye Yuan obtained the Haotian Tower, this fellow had been in deep slumber. This was the first time he came out, and Ye Yuan wondered why.

Long Teng frowned and said, "There's a dragon whelp nearby!"

Ye Yuan looked at Long Teng with some surprise, thinking that this guy seemed to hold quite a grudge against dragons.

Long Teng usually didn't want to waste any energy and thus remained asleep. Today, for a nearby dragon, he actually manifested a clone.

Ye Yuan estimated that the Dragon Lord was probably on par with Hu Xiao and Peng Yun in strength, just a junior to Long Teng. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?

"Impressive, Senior. There is indeed a dragon nearby, known as the Dragon Lord." Ye Yuan replied honestly.

Although he hadn't met the Dragon Lord yet, there was no doubt that fellow was a dragon.

Long Teng's face turned cold, and he said to Ye Yuan, "Dragon Lord? Heh, self-important brat, what big talk! Ye Yuan, I don't care what method you use, you must give that guy a good beating! Beat him until he cries for his mom and dad!"

Good heavens, Ye Yuan hadn't even met the guy, and Long Teng wanted him to go that far. What a grudge.

Ye Yuan laughed, "Heh, that won't take much effort. If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon Lord will probably come looking for trouble tomorrow."

The Dragon Lord was clearly on good terms with the Tiger Clan. With Xiong Zhan's protection, the Tiger Clan couldn't easily make a move against him.

To test his strength, the Dragon Lord was undoubtedly the best choice.

As long as they revealed that Ye Yuan had impersonated the Dragon Lord, that Dragon Lord would surely not let it go.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Long Teng's eyes lit up and he said, "Is that so? That's perfect! That kid is a bit stronger than you. We'll start special training now. You cultivate well and make sure to knock him down!"

Ye Yuan was a bit confused and said, "Cramming at the last minute—isn't it too late?"

But inwardly, he was somewhat surprised. Long Teng should know his strength well, and even he said Ye Yuan was no match for the Dragon Lord. It seemed the Dragon Lord truly lived up to his reputation.

No wonder every Dragon Lord left a legend in the Divine Seal Demon Domain; his strength was not to be underestimated.

Ye Yuan had used up all his Void Thunder Explosion Talismans, making it somewhat difficult to deal with late fifth-rank demon beasts.

Long Teng casually took out a crystal and said, "I say it's possible, so it's possible!"

Seeing the crystal in Long Teng's hand, Ye Yuan's expression changed: "Hunyuan Crystal!"

"Heh, you know quite a bit, kid. You even recognize the Hunyuan Crystal! One Hunyuan Crystal can slow down the time flow in the Haotian Tower by sixty times and last for three days! So you have one night, which is about twenty days!" Long Teng said excitedly.

Ye Yuan's face darkened upon hearing this: "You said before that you couldn't slow down time!"

Long Teng looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Heh, I don't have many Hunyuan Crystals left, so I have to use them sparingly. Since you know about Hunyuan Crystals, you should know how precious they are. Besides, with your comprehension, you don't really need to control time flow, right?"

Ye Yuan sneered, "Is that so? Senior thinks I'm that easy to fool... right? Sorry, I don't want to make a powerful enemy for no reason. I'll just skip this fight, okay?"

Long Teng quickly said, "No, no, no, I really didn't lie to you. I really don't have many Hunyuan Crystals left!"

Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "Oh, really?"

Long Teng choked and said dejectedly, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Ye Yuan was amused and laughed, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I don't ask for much, just ten pieces!"

"No! At most two!"

"Eight! Any less, and there's no deal!"

"You're ruthless. Five, no more! I only have about twenty-something Hunyuan Crystals left, and you know I need them myself!"

"Alright, deal!" Ye Yuan agreed without hesitation.

Long Teng winced in pain, the muscles on his face twitching.

...

Ye Yuan held the Hunyuan Crystal and asked, "How do I use this?"

Long Teng said with a dark face, "Just embed the Hunyuan Crystal into the Haotian Stele. You are now the master of the Haotian Stele, and you can use this hundred and eighty days anytime!"

Ye Yuan nodded and did as told, embedding the Hunyuan Crystal into the Haotian Stele.

Sure enough, he soon felt the time flow around him slow down.

At that moment, Long Teng took out another small bottle and tossed it to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan caught it and exclaimed with delight, "Heavenly Heart Earth Milk!"

"You have only twenty days. Break through to the sixth level of the Soul Sea and then knock that guy down. No problem now, right?" Long Teng said.

Ye Yuan chuckled, "If I can't knock down the Dragon Lord with this, then I'd have no face to see you, Senior. Just wait here for my good news!"

Heavenly Heart Earth Milk contained an extremely vast amount of Yuan power, making it an excellent item for cultivation.

This small bottle of Heavenly Heart Earth Milk was extremely precious, yet Long Teng had taken it out casually.

It seemed this fellow had quite a lot of treasures. What he had given to those geniuses before were probably just junk.

He had been hoarding the real good stuff for himself!

It seemed he'd have to find time to squeeze this old fellow dry!
