Chapter 2081: Chapter 2036: Dragon Qi
"You!"
The Dark Bear was furious when he saw the duck that was within his grasp snatched away.
"You dare to snatch something from me? You’re courting death!" The Dark Bear was unstoppable in his fury! Veins stood out on his forehead!
Chen Yang turned around, looked at the Dark Bear, and said, "The Dragon Qi is a mystic opportunity of the Divine Dragon Pool that anyone has the right to obtain. What makes you say it’s yours?"
The Dark Bear was stunned!
The rules indeed were as such.
It was just that he had assumed the Dragon Qi was his own.
"You silver-tongued brat, do you really think you can challenge me just because you have some strength?" the Dark Bear roared in anger.
Chen Yang paid him no mind at all.
The Dragon Qi is an unclaimed opportunity; whoever gets it, owns it. There’s no question of snatching.
"Still want to leave? Your life is mine!"
As Chen Yang turned to leave, the Dark Bear suddenly exploded with fury, launching a palm strike towards Chen Yang’s back.
This strike was accompanied by the roaring of a bear!
Chen Yang, sharp with instinct, sensed the threat and turned around swiftly, delivering a palm strike of his own.
Bang!
Their palms collided in mid-air, exploding directly.
The immense force pushed both of them back!
However, there was a small difference: Chen Yang only retreated five steps, while the Dark Bear stepped back five and a half!
"Want a match?" Chen Yang’s demeanor turned icy cold.
He didn’t want trouble; he just wanted to continue seeking more Dragon Qi. But if the Dark Bear insisted on a fight, Chen Yang would definitely accompany him to the end.
The Dark Bear was very angry!
But thinking about the Dragon Qi still floating in the secret realm, if he wasted time here, wouldn’t he just be losing the opportunity?
In the end, he chose to swallow his anger.
"I’ll remember today, and make you pay back double another day!" The Dark Bear snorted angrily and turned to leave decisively.
Chen Yang watched the Dark Bear’s departing figure, estimating in his mind.
If he had to fight him, it would likely be a forty-sixty match-up.
Himself sixty, the Dark Bear forty.
Because he had absorbed a small portion of Dragon Qi earlier, his strength had improved, even stronger now than when he defeated the old ghost, Wu Chang.
And the Dark Bear’s combat power was actually a bit weaker than Wu Chang’s, so saying it was a forty-sixty split was not an exaggeration at all.
The Dark Bear vanished in an instant without a trace, and Chen Yang, not wasting any more time, disappeared from the spot to continue searching for the Dragon Qi.
When the Dragon Qi exploded, it split into thirty to forty clusters, many of which drifted to unknown places.
To find them requires chance.
And Chen Yang’s luck was definitely not bad.
After a small half-day’s search, he found another cluster floating among the trees, not yet targeted by anyone.
Without hesitation, he absorbed it decisively.
After absorbing it, he coincidentally met Feng Nihuang.
Feng Nihuang swept across from high in the air at great speed, seemingly rushing towards something.
"Saintess Feng, in such a hurry, where are you headed?" Chen Yang also rose into the air, curiously asking.
"Chen Yang, my friend?" Feng Nihuang was surprised to see Chen Yang.
She didn’t expect to encounter Chen Yang here.
"Indeed, it’s me. Where are you rushing off to? Have you discovered more Dragon Qi?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
Feng Nihuang stopped.
"The Dragon Qi has been out for so long, and most of it has been absorbed by others. It’s unlikely to find more. I’m heading northwest, seeking another opportunity," Feng Nihuang admitted openly.
"Another opportunity? What is it?" Hearing about an opportunity naturally piqued Chen Yang’s interest.
And Feng Nihuang didn’t hide it, directly saying, "Zhao Tiangang encountered a spirit beast in the northwest and found a large amount of Spirit Stones in its lair."
"The spirit beast’s cultivation is very advanced; he can’t handle it alone, so he called us to help, and we’ll share the opportunity equally afterward."
"Chen, my friend, are you interested? If you are, you can join us," Feng Nihuang took the initiative to invite Chen Yang.
Upon hearing about the opportunity, Chen Yang was naturally eager to get a share.
"Of course, I’m interested. Who wouldn’t go if there’s a benefit, unless they’re a fool?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Then follow me, let’s hurry," Feng Nihuang said and quickly headed northwest.
Chen Yang followed along.
The secret realm was vast, and after walking for dozens of minutes, they arrived at their destination.
The trees in this area were very tall, and the ground was very clean.
No underbrush, just smooth, oily green grass, distinctly different from other areas.
After landing, they saw Zhao Tiangang and the Dark Bear standing not far away.
The two showed a reaction when they saw Feng Nihuang, but when they saw Chen Yang, their expressions were clearly displeased.
Especially the Dark Bear, whose disdain for Chen Yang was particularly apparent.
"Nihuang, why did you bring him along?" The Dark Bear said unhappily.
Feng Nihuang showed no expression.
"The Golden Rat Clan is difficult to deal with. Having one more person lessens our pressure," she replied indifferently.
"Hmph, what can he do? With me here, you don’t have to worry about safety at all," the Dark Bear said confidently.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was also displeased and was ready to retort immediately.
But before he could speak, Zhao Tiangang looked at Chen Yang and spoke first.
"That’s not the way to see it. Chen Yang, my friend’s strength is formidable, indeed a great help, and I just probed earlier, the Golden Rat King’s strength is very strong; the three of us tackling the whole clan together is indeed pressured," Zhao Tiangang said fairly.
Humph.
Since Feng Nihuang and Zhao Tiangang had both spoken, the Dark Bear naturally had nothing further to say.
He snorted coldly and remained silent.
While Zhao Tiangang asked Chen Yang, "My friend Chen Yang, did the Saintess Feng tell you about the situation here on the way?"
"She mentioned a bit." Chen Yang’s impression of Zhao Tiangang was still good.
Although aloof, he wasn’t arrogant to the point of ignoring others.
Unlike the Dark Bear, who always thought of himself as number one under the heavens, not putting others in his eyes at all.
"Then I’ll briefly reiterate the precautions," Zhao Tiangang nodded slightly, then shared a little of what he knew.
This area was occupied by a group called the Golden Rat Clan.
The individual strength of the Golden Rat Clan isn’t strong, but they number in the thousands.
Such a large number combined has a combat power that’s absolutely terrifying.
This was why Zhao Tiangang didn’t act alone but chose to call them here for assistance.
"I’ve already investigated the situation; the lair of the Golden Rat Clan is in a cave two kilometers ahead."
"There are countless Spirit Stones within the cave, an opportunity in itself."
"If successful, we’ll share it into four parts."
...
Zhao Tiangang explained in detail.
"Alright, no problem." Sharing in four parts was the fairest, and Chen Yang naturally had no objections.
Zhao Tiangang looked at Feng Nihuang and the Dark Bear.
"No problem."
"I have no issue either."
Both agreed.
"Then let’s move!" Since no one objected, Zhao Tiangang didn’t delay any further.
The time the secret realm was open was limited, so they had to make haste!
Zhao Tiangang led the way, continuing northwest.
