205 The Collection Of Elemental Hearts
“The members of the Dark Screen planted a Lord as a spy in the tournament. The Lord was supposed to wake the mythical beast.
That Lord had suddenly disappeared. Nobody knew anything about her.
As for the mythical beast, it had woken up. It soared into the sky, and the arena almost collapsed. However, the holy light had shone dazzlingly and burned the huge mythical beast.”
The Sage of the Moon listened attentively as Su Wan told him the whole story. He frowned and nodded.
“We have some grasp of the situation now. But we still need to verify some things. All of you should return to your respective territories. The final result of the tournament will be declared after we have cleared the competition grounds.”
The Sage of the Mon was now certain that everything pointed to one organization, the Dark Screen.
The Sage of the Moon wanted the Lords to return to their own territories and rest for the time being.
“Wanwan, let’s go!” said Shi Linglong. She pulled at Su Wan’s hands.
A few steps away, there was a Dimensional Portal that was ready to take them back. The portal would take them back to their territories.
…
In the blink of an eye, the next day was gone. It was time for the result to be declared.
“Xu Yuan, I am the champion! We won!” Su Wan was ecstatic.
If it was back in the academy, in front of too many people, she would have had to restrain herself from laughing and crying in happiness. However, she didn’t need to pretend to be calm in front of Xu Yuan.
She wanted to share her happiness with him.
Xu Yuan was lazily draped across the throne.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they had gone through such an ordeal just recently, Xu Yuan would have made Su Wan fight so that he could accumulate more experience points. He was already worried that there was a powerful being among the Light-Types. However, she looked so happy, and she hadn’t recovered completely from the earlier fights. He didn’t really want to make her fight this soon.
Xu Yuan wished there was another way so that he didn’t need to trick and lie to her every time.
Su Wan looked at him. “Xu Yuan, are you thinking about how to scam people again? You are looking at me strangely, as though you are thinking of another way to trick me…”
Su Wan became vigilant. Xu Yuan didn’t expect her to be on guard around him. He looked at her sheepishly, then fell back on the throne and continued sleeping.
Silence was the best answer for now.
Xu Yuan knew that if he remained silent, Su Wan would forget about it in a while.
It was true. Su Wan had already forgotten about the matter and was clenching her fists in excitement. She was already thinking about something else.
“I have good news, Xu Yuan!” she said. “Since we won the tournament, we get a generous reward!”
She also mentioned a banquet that was usually held to commemorate the end of the competition. However, it had been canceled this time because too many things had happened. The mythical beast’s death, the collapse of the arena, the reappearance of the Sunken City, and the Dark Screen’s elaborate planning.
The Sages had discussed long and hard and decided to cancel the banquet for safety reasons. The Dark Screen had interfered, after all. They could attack the Lords in the banquet and target them altogether.
Therefore, there would be no dinner banquet like the previous years. They would no longer hold an event to distribute the reward to the winner.
The ranking would be posted online, and the resources would be distributed accordingly.
Xu Yuan yawned, as though he wasn’t interested in some silly reward.
As for winning the competition, it wasn’t a surprise. Su Wan had the only gem in possession at the end of the tournament, after all. All other gems had been snatched away to make the building upgrade stones.
With that out of the way, Xu Yuan was thinking about how to get all twelve Elemental Hearts.
Xu Yuan had collected any and every Elemental Hearts he could find before. But now, he was more cautious. He recalled the Dark Demon Dragon from the visions. It had eleven Mythical Level Elemental Hearts. Xu Yuan recalled how strong he had been in the first war. Nobody could stand against the Dark Demon Dragon. Even the Light-Types and Dark-Types had abandoned their war and joined forces to fight the powerful being.
Eleven of the energy balls had been lit…
The Dark Demon Dragon had collected eleven Elemental Hearts, all of Mythical Level.
The number of Elemental Hearts Xu Yuan had collected this far were of Low Level, and some of High Level, but they were nowhere near to Mythical level.
Xu Yuan felt that it was inappropriate to even mention this. He was wasting an opportunity. If he only collected such Low Level Elemental Hearts, it would make no difference whether he had the Chaos Realm ability or not. It wouldn’t be strong enough.
‘Is there no other way to upgrade the Elemental Hearts?’ Xu Yuan sighed.
He remembered the Dark Demon Dragon of the first war. Eleven Mythical Elemental Hearts…
It meant the Dark Demon Dragon had defeated element Mythical Overlords to achieve the Elemental Hearts.
‘If only Elemental Hearts could be fused as troops…’
He had an ability that could fuse weaker soldiers to make them powerful. Xu Yuan wondered if there was a way to fuse Elemental Hearts to make them more powerful.
Xu Yuan shook his head. He had never heard of an ability like that. It was impossible…
Besides, the difference between Legendary Level and the Mythical Level alone was huge. It was like a chasm that couldn’t be filled by numbers.
Even a thousand Elemental Hearts from a thousand Legendary Lords couldn’t compare to one Mythical Elemental Heart from one Mythical Lord. It was that rare.
