Chapter 875: Chapter 897: Fooled Successfully!
Chu Linfeng felt a shock in his heart; could this guy have noticed something? However, Sword Spirit said that the intelligence of the Earth Fire Charm was only at the level of a child, so deceiving it shouldn’t be too difficult. Right now, it was probably just an instinctive reaction, thinking that he might harm it. But with its power, the only one getting hurt would be himself.
"You are my most admired person. Your understanding of the Fire Element can be said to be the best in the world. Moreover, with your incredible power, how dare I deceive you?" said Chu Linfeng, enduring the pain.
The Earth Fire Charm looked at Chu Linfeng and felt he didn’t seem to be lying, then said, "You’re clever, knowing the might of the king. In this Earth Fire, there are quite a few Fire Charms, but many are not yet formed. Only this king is the lone Fire Charm with intelligence. Encountering this king is your luck."
At this moment, Chu Linfeng felt a sense of relief, knowing he wouldn’t be swallowed by this guy for the time being. His weak strength meant suffering, and his craving for power grew increasingly apparent in his heart.
"Lin Feng pays respect to the great king. Being able to see the true body of the king is Lin Feng’s honor. Please accept this Illusion Stone!" Chu Linfeng said respectfully, though he wished to immediately slay this creature. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it.
Upon seeing the yellow-glowing object in Chu Linfeng’s hand, the Earth Fire Charm laughed and said, "Kid, you know how to please the king. The king accepts your present!"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Linfeng felt a suction force; the Illusion Stone in his hand quickly flew away and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Chu Linfeng didn’t expect the Earth Fire Charm to have such good control over force and said promptly, "Great king, your mastery over the Fire Element is so pure; could you teach me how to achieve that?"
"Kid, you’re not bad yourself. Being able to stay for such a long time within the range of Earth Fire shows your deep understanding of the Fire Element. Today the king is in a good mood, so I’ll tell you some things," said the Earth Fire Charm.
"Great king, the temperature of this Earth Fire is too high. I can hardly stand it anymore. Could you lower the flame temperature a bit? I’m afraid you won’t finish your words before I’m roasted to death by this heat," Chu Linfeng suggested, knowing that when you deceive, it should look credible, guiding the other to act according to your intention.
"You really are troublesome, kid. Do you have any other glowing things on you? The king is very interested in glowing items, and if you can satisfy the king, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise for you," said the Earth Fire Charm.
Immediately, the huge mouth of the Earth Fire Charm opened, and a powerful suction force appeared around Chu Linfeng, but it didn’t affect him at all. Soon, most of the surrounding Fire Element Molecules were absorbed, and the dancing Earth Fire flames weakened considerably.
Chu Linfeng felt the temperature suddenly drop significantly, entirely within his tolerable range. Speaking of the Fire Element, Chu Linfeng wanted to resonate with these Fire Elements, but he couldn’t achieve it. Currently, he could only resonate with ordinary flames.
Most of the Fire Element Molecules here were from Earth Fire, and his Fire Transformation hadn’t broken through to the second layer, so he couldn’t succeed. At this moment, Chu Linfeng quickly took out dozens of Star Stones from his Storage Ring. Though the glow of the Star Stones was weaker than the Illusion Stone, their energy was very apparent.
Seeing the Star Stones in Chu Linfeng’s hand, the eyes of the Earth Fire Charm, larger than lanterns, widened further, "What are these things? I feel the energy fluctuations on them. They seem very helpful to me."
"Great king, this is Star Crystal, a very prestigious Energy Baryte. I risked my life many times to acquire these stones. Now I give them all to you! I hope they might help you in some way!" Chu Linfeng spoke, knowing that the Earth Fire Charm surely wouldn’t know he had a Storage Ring capable of holding many items.
The Earth Fire Charm felt delighted upon hearing this and immediately said, "Very good. I see that your mastery of the Fire Element is just average. Tell me the specifics, and if the king can help you, feel free to ask. You’re the first human I’ve seen in millennia, right? You are human, right? In my memory, there seems to be such a race."
While speaking, it absorbed all the Star Stones from Chu Linfeng’s hand. Those Star Stones were top grade, making Chu Linfeng’s heart ache. He needed to go all out this time to get the Li-Fire Crystal.
"Thank you for your kindness, great king. Lin Feng appreciates it! I am currently practicing a Martial Skill of the Fire Element, yet I am at the peak. Without powerful Fire Element Energy Barytes to absorb, I cannot break through. With this explanation, the great king understands, right? You should know what a peak is!" Chu Linfeng said.
Internally laughing, "How could you not give me the Li-Fire Crystal? Millennia, your sister’s millennia, only to have this much strength and such pitiful intelligence, getting buoyed up by mere words. Great king, you’re nothing but an idiot."
"I know, everything you said, I know! The king lacks everything except many Fire Element Crystal Stones. Look at these; are they enough?" the Earth Fire Charm said. Immediately, dozens of Fire Crystals, the size of a washbasin, appeared in front of Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng was not much interested in these Fire Crystals. Though large, they didn’t help him break through, so he said, "Great king, I think it’s fine. These Fire Crystals I’ve obtained some before from the volcano. Though not as large as yours, I have plenty, and now they don’t help me break through."
"Oh, so that’s the case. Then wait a moment!" said the Earth Fire Charm. Soon, Fire Flame Crystals appeared in front of Chu Linfeng, a much higher grade than Fire Crystals. If Chu Linfeng absorbed them, he might have the chance to break Fire Transformation to the second layer. But he knew this creature surely had the best items; thus, he shouldn’t accept the Fire Flame Crystals.
If accepted, not receiving the Li-Fire Crystal would be troublesome. Thus, he said, "The energy of these Fire Flame Crystals is fine, a rare Fire Element material. However, it won’t help break through my current realm."
After hearing this, the Earth Fire Charm’s massive body moved slightly, seeming to ponder something. After a few breaths, it said, "Kid, since you’ve given the king the most precious things, the king won’t be stingy. Wait here; the king will go to the Heart of Earth Fire to fetch some Li-Fire Crystals for you."
As soon as the words fell, the Earth Fire Charm vanished from Chu Linfeng’s sight, and only then did Chu Linfeng truly relax. The con of deceiving is indeed not to be done too often. This feeling is more exhausting than battling someone for three hundred rounds, mainly mentally exhausting.
"Lin Feng, congratulations on finally being able to obtain Li-Fire Crystals. This way, your Fire Transformation can break through to the second layer, and then you’ll know its powerful force," Sword Spirit said at this time...
