Battle of Geniuses

"Alright! Let's move out after I refill my dantian." Fu Chen was happy when he saw them agree. It was totally unexpected and totally unplanned but he knew he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Monsters aren't that hard to talk with. He knew this because he has talked with them before. But, not all monsters are good just like humans. So, he doesn't go around talking to the monsters.

The wolf and the monkey nodded their head and stayed down while Fu Chen entered the meditation state but he didn't recover his spiritual qi. He had already done it so why do it again.

Instead, he used this time to learn Thousand Faces Transformation Technique. And, also get better at them without using the system. It's been a while since he has even talked to Ysla.

Basically, both of them hadn't talked for a while. He sighed and called out his status panel.

'My strength has increased a lot but it doesn't mean I can beat others in the same realm. Without the system function, I couldn't even beat down Jian Shen. My only support right now is the fourth stance and my martial spirit.'

'For now, it should be enough but if I counter any dangers, I mustn't hesitate to use the system. Without life, all of that hard work will become nothing. So, I must survive.'

Finally, he stood up and jumped down. He looked at the wolf and monkey who were ready to move out and said "Let's go! Follow me."

All of them finally moved out. Since it was a forest near Fire King Region, he was vigilant but on the way, he was also talking with them. Since he could understand their language, he had no problem communicating.

But, to avoid unnecessary attraction, he asked the wolf to keep his senses on. In case they stumble upon a monster, he can quickly hide. The journey was quite long.

It was already night. During the night, all three of them decided to find a tree-like before and sleep. The monkey and Fu Chen slept at the top while the wolf slept at the bottom.

Surprisingly, three of them didn't doubt each other at all. For Fu Chen, it was his belief. Once you become friends with monsters, they won't betray you unless it's something personal.

As for them, it was the smell of Fu Chen. The wolf guaranteed that Fu Chen has gotten okay from one of their members and so they trust Fu Chen.

The night quickly passed and the next morning, the three of them continued their journey. Today, they countered a group of hyenas. Since it was a group, they decided to wait till all of them leave.

Since they don't fight each other, they will eventually leave but it took them nearly two days. Two of them had no problem being patient but they didn't expect Fu Chen to be so patient.

Since he had one year, two days meant nothing to him. He could even wait a month but he did cultivate in these two days. His cultivation broke through from Low-Tier to Middle-Tier.

The spiritual qi in this forest was quite enormous. He was easily able to breakthrough because of that. After they left, they didn't encounter any problems until an earthquake shook them.

This earthquake wasn't natural. They quickly hid and looked around. They found the monsters running away from a special place. It was nearly five hundred meters away from them but instead of running away, Fu Chen convinced two of them to stay.

Although they were carefree, they also wanted to run away because the pressure was too high but Fu Chen insisted because he felt he could learn a lot from this battle.

After they went near the battle, it was devastating. The entire ground was broken. The trees were on fire. And, there were two people. Specifically, there was a human and a lion.

The Heavenly Lion King!

At first, Fu Chen thought it was a Heavenly Lion King but when he saw the size, he frowned. Although Heavenly Lion King was big, it was only the size of a five-meter-tall boulder.

The original Heavenly Lion King should be nearly fifteen meters tall. Not to mention, the heavenly lion king was fighting against a teenager. This teenager was buff and had a spear in his hand.

"That's young master Duo." The wolf whispered near Fu Chen when he saw Fu Chen struggling to identify them.

"Then, what about that teenager with the spear?" Fu Chen asked but both of them shook their heads. They obviously didn't know him.

"Human, how dare you challenge this prince with your puny strength? I am the son of Heavenly Lion King." The lion prince roared while the fire around his neck spread out.

He was truly a lion but covered with flames.

"I heard the Heavenly Lion Prince has the greatest talent among Five Princes. I, Jiang Wu shall be the witness of your strength. Now, let's battle with our full strength!" Jiang Wu spoke with pride in his eyes.

At this moment, his aura burst out. It was so strong that Fu Chen and two others felt suffocated. They could barely breathe without releasing their auras to counterattack.

"Then, this prince shall behead you to prove his strength." The lion prince also released his enormous strength and the two auras canceled each other. Only then, Fu Chen and others were allowed to breathe properly.

"Heavenly Dragon Spear Art"

Jiang Wu roared as he thrusts his spear forward. His spear struck the air and then got back. Once again, he struck forward. It returned again but he continued for the third time.

When he finished striking three times, the true essence left at those points burst out and merged with each other, forming a giant dragon. It had one star on its head, another one on its body, and another on its tail.

"Three Stars Dragon Ragnorak!

At this moment, the lion prince dashed towards the dragon with its insane speed. Its mouth condensed a large ball of flames but when it enlarged than his own size, it shrunk back to the size of a golf ball.

It continued five times until he finally swing his head and threw the football-size ball of flames toward the three-star dragon.

Boom!

The dragon roared a powerful energy beam out of its mouth but the ball of flames blasted through it until it touched the mouth of the dragon and exploded. The entire three stars dragon turned to nothingness.

"Hahaha! That's what I expected from the Lion Prince. Now, take my another strike."

"Heavenly Dragon Spear Art"

Suddenly, the true essence burst out of his spear and transformed into lightning bolts. It covered his spear and the next moment, his body dashed towards the Lion Prince at an extreme speed.

"Thunder Dragon Dash!"

Seeing its movement, the lion prince narrowed his eyes and suddenly, two lion princes appeared next to him. Using his doppelgänger ability, he could enhance his attack powers.

He summoned giant waves of flames and condensed a giant wall of flame around him. The lightning bolt in the form of a dragon struck against the flame wall but didn't break it at once.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the lion prince appeared behind the lightning dragon and opened his mouth. An enormous arrow made out flames shot toward the dragon. In the middle of the lightning, suddenly the image of two golden eyes appeared.

"Divine Yin-Yang Eyes- Activate"

The next moment, the lightning turned spiral until Jiang Wu inside the lightning disappeared and the flame arrow struck against the flame wall.

"Hahaha! It seems Lion Prince deserves his name. I shall fight you again the next time." Jiang Wu appeared in the sky out of nowhere and dashed away.

The Lion Prince didn't chase him. He knew why Jiang Wu suddenly left. He turned his head at the sunrise and slowly floated. His body dashed towards the sunlight while everyone else was left in awe.

"What happened? Why did they stop and went away?" Fu Chen asked.

Roar!

(Another Immortal Weapon should have been discovered. All the talents from the entire Blue Star Kingdom should have been gathered.) Wolf responded.

"All the talents huh!" Fu Chen looked at the sunrise. It was on his right side. He took a deep breath and thought.

'It won't take long. One day, I will be there as well.'
