167 Su Wan Had Snatched All Of Their Gems
In the face of the Light Mage’s provocation, Xu Yuan remained indifferent.
“Xu Yuan, she is trying to provoke you,” said Su Wan. “Keep your cool. As a hero with only auxiliary ability, you must not lose your cool.”
Su Wan knew the importance of Xu Yuan’s auxiliary ability. His buffs were too powerful, and everyone coveted them. If he lost his cool, the enemy would know about it. The enemy could kill Xu Yuan!
Xu Yuan yawned and glared at Su Wan with a look that asked, “Are you an idiot?”
“A truly strong creature doesn’t have to prove himself to anybody.”
Su Wan understood what he meant. Self-restraint was a type of strength too. If a person or a creature fell for someone else’s provocation and acted recklessly, then they would be considered weak. Having to prove oneself to others just to gain recognition wasn’t strength.
Su Wan often found Xu Yuan lazy, but he had such wisdom! Those who were strong didn’t need validation from others. They didn’t need to prove themselves to anyone. Their strength was their own.
And if someone had to go to lengths to prove themselves, then they didn’t consider themselves as strong, let alone expect others to believe it!
The Light Mage also heard this. She was nervous. She had assumed that she had overestimated Su Wan and her hero’s strength. However, she now felt uncertain.
However, the Light Mage couldn’t show her fear. She continued to provoke Xu Yuan. She expected Xu Yuan to reveal his flaw at one point.
“I don’t even know how many Dark-Types like you I have killed till now,” said the Light Mage. “Plenty, to say the least.”
The Light Mage’s attempt at provocation was silly from Xu Yuan’s perspective. He couldn’t even be bothered to respond.
However, just because Xu Yuan didn’t bother with it didn’t mean the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint would stand by and watch silently.
The White Dragon Saint and the Red-Eyed Black Dragon both wanted to show off in front of Xu Yuan. However, the White Dragon Saint was aware that he had fallen into this trap before with the Fallen Angel and the Dark Enchanter. He had learned the lesson.
The White Dragon Saint decided to shock the enemy. He was no longer the tiny dragon he had reduced himself into. A roar reverberated. A small white dragon grew rapidly.
The White Dragon Saint roared again and flapped his wings, The ground was covered in dust in the wake of the flapping wings.
“You dog of the Light,” said the White Dragon Saint. “How dare you speak like that?”
The White Dragon Saint didn’t reveal Xu Yuan’s identity because he didn’t know if Xu Yuan wanted to do that.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was shocked by the White Dragon Saint. ‘This dragon is so skilled!’
The Light-Type heroes were all shocked. They had expected Su Wan’s heroes to be formidable. Su Wan’s reputation preceded her. However, they hadn’t expected the tiny white dragon to grow to such a size!
This was all very difficult for them to accept.
As for the White Dragon Saint, he was full of tricks. He roared again. “Weren’t you all asking about your little gems?”
The White Dragon Saint laughed. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon knew that the white dragon was going to cause trouble. But he couldn’t tell what he was planning exactly.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon also wondered where the gems had disappeared. He knew that the Starlight Swordsman could sense the aura of the gems. He was curious about where Su Wan had kept the gems after he had offered them to her. It was impossible that she had thrown it thousands of miles away after he gave it to her. He hadn’t seen her doing anything with it.
Outside the wall of light, the Light-Types were nervous. Something was wrong! They were terrified of the White Dragon Saint’s huge form.
“You have lost your gems,” said the White Dragon Saint. “Literally! Your gems have been sent to the Lord’s territory to be reforged into something else.” The White Dragon Saint smiled wickedly.
For a moment, nobody made a sound. Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they stared at the White Dragon Saint.
Apart from Su Wan, Xu Yuan, Lord Bevin, and the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, all others looked at the White Dragon Saint in disbelief.
They were all contestants in the tournament. They knew the significance of the Competition Gems. The gems would be counted, and points would be awarded at the end of the competition. If the gems were somehow taken out of the arena, they would be counted as void, and they wouldn’t be counted. That rule existed because everyone would, otherwise, send their own gems to their territories for safekeeping.
Although the Lords could summon their troops by opening a Dimensional Portal into their territory, they weren’t allowed to step into their territories or hide the gems there. Otherwise, the competition would be unfair because no one would be able to get the gems from other Lords.
To prevent that from happening and to keep things fair, the gems needed to be kept inside the arena. But Su Wan had snatched all of their gems and thrown them into her own territory!
All the gems were gone!
For a few moments, nobody could make sense of anything. Their heads buzzed with confusion.
