Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 94 A gentleman's promise is more important than Mount Tai
The high temperature evaporated the green juice from the century-old bamboos, which then turned into green smoke in an instant, blending with the red fire clouds to form a strange emerald mist.

Xiao Yan's clothes rustled, and when the strands of hair on his forehead were lifted by the heat wave, his dark eyes that reflected the blazing flames were revealed.

The cracks in the scorched earth spread like spider webs a hundred steps away, and the remaining half of the bamboo stake was dripping with hot resin, like solidified amber tears.

Zhongli didn't make any complicated movements as he faced the scorching waves that were coming towards him.

From Zhongli's perspective, Wendy's yawn seemed a little more abrupt than what was happening in front of him.

The sword was deeply embedded in the ground, and the handle was still trembling. Occasionally, a few dark red sparks and crackling arcs burst out from the falling ashes around it, like the fragments of falling stars.

Xiao Yan was breathing heavily. It was the first time he used the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler and Scarlet Flame Burning Thunder with all his strength, which made him look a little exhausted.

Xiao Yan thought to himself, "I'm afraid that unless I'm facing a life-or-death crisis in the future, I won't use this kind of full-strength attack lightly."

"But... Second Master, are you satisfied with my attack?" Xiao Yan panted and slowly raised his head.

"Yeah, it's OK."

"What?!" Xiao Yan was startled and looked up quickly, but because of his sudden movements, he suddenly felt dizzy.

However, the scene before him instantly cleared Xiao Yan's drowsy mind.

The terrifying fire dragon, which was blessed by the red flames and thunder and condensed by the flame-devouring wave ruler, was now obediently sealed by Zhongli with a square golden transparent grid, shrinking it to the size of a palm.

And in that small box, the fire dragon coiled very obediently in Zhongli's palm.

All this made Xiao Yan feel so unreal, the contrast was huge.

If the entire dense bamboo forest had not just been turned into scorched earth by the momentum of his Flame-Dividing Wave-Devouring Ruler, even Xiao Yan himself would probably find it hard to believe that he had just unleashed the Flame-Dividing Wave-Devouring Ruler with all his strength.

"The strength is good, but the power is a little lacking."

Zhongli flicked his right hand lightly, and as the sound of snapping fingers spread, the Heart of the Grass God released endless vitality, and the dense bamboo forest that had been burned to ashes instantly regained its vitality.

In just three seconds, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan saw a scene that they would never forget - the dense bamboo forest had returned to its original state.

Before Xiao Yan and Yao Chen could ask any questions, Zhongli had already teleported in front of Xiao Yan and handed the small square box in his hand to him.

"Keep this small box safe in your storage ring. If you ever find yourself in a life-or-death situation and are short of Dou Qi, simply use your fire-attributed Dou Qi to wrap a wisp of Red Flame Lightning's aura, inject it into this small box, and throw it out. Then, your previous all-out attack might become the key to turning defeat into victory in the future."

While the power unleashed by a fighter using the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler is formidable, its effectiveness is significantly diminished when facing a Dou Huang or higher realm powerhouse. However, Zhongli knew that the strongest fighter on the northwest continent was only at the Dou Zong level. As a precaution, he infused a trace of the Burning Thousand Sun Flames into the fire dragon while trapping it. This way, even a Dou Zong could inflict heavy damage.

Xiao Yan slowly placed the small box into his storage ring, only to see Zhongli pulling Yao Chen to a distant boulder and whispering, "Brother Yao Chen, how many pieces of Soul-Pregnant Dust do you have left?"

"Hey, it's just about this. I thought something big had happened." Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief instantly. With a wave of his hand, three soul-pregnant dust particles flew out from Xiao Yan's ring.

"Here, there are three left. What's the matter? Brother Zhongli, if you need them, just take them."

"No, I was just curious and wanted to take another look. I never thought such a magical little gadget could have such powerful effects."

"My current strength is almost at the level of an eight-star Dou Zong. This little gadget is very useful. Without it, my current strength would only be considered a one-star Dou Zong at best. However, after I absorbed it, it forcibly raised me to the eight-star level, and my soul essence was also slightly replenished. This will be of great help to my soul realm after I regain my body in the future."

Zhongli gently took the three soul-pregnant dust particles and silently injected abundant grass elemental power into them, which was the mysterious power symbolizing life.

Afterwards, Zhongli returned the three pieces of Soul Pregnancy Dust to Yaochen and said, "My advice is, Brother Yaochen, don't be too greedy. These three pieces of Soul Pregnancy Dust can be used as explosives to deal with emergency situations in the future and as a trump card to instantly boost your strength."

"Haha, Brother Zhongli, you and I are thinking the same thing. This Soul-Pregnant Dust is good, but if you absorb too much, the benefits you'll gain in the later stages will be greatly reduced. So I plan to keep these three little gadgets while I'm helping this little Yanzi find the Strange Fire."

At this moment, both masters turned their gazes to Xiao Yan, who was not far away. They saw him lying on another huge rock, snoring leisurely in the caress of the setting sun.

"I know that Brother Yaochen's greatest wish right now is to regain his physical body. I hope you won't blame me for not helping. Even though we've already reached the required amount of Strange Fire, we still can't move on to the next step. I've always known that the most basic requirement for refining a body is the corpse of a Dou Zong master. I wonder if you've ever considered that, while a One-Star Dou Zong and a Nine-Star Dou Zong are both Dou Zongs, their physical strength differs dramatically. And above the Nine-Star Dou Zong is the Dou Zun realm."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen's heartbeat became faster and faster, and he became more and more excited.

Afterwards, Zhongli took out the complete map of the strange fire from the Chains of the World and handed it to Yao Chen.

"I, Zhong, have personal matters to attend to, and Emperor Hun Tian and Void Devouring Flame also need to manage the affairs of the Soul Clan. Therefore, the responsibility of finding the strange fire on this map falls solely on you, Brother Yaochen. However, you and I are both Xiao Yan's masters. If I completely ignore you, Brother Yaochen, although he may not say it, may harbor resentment in his heart. I, Zhongli, am not a cunning person. Brother Yaochen, how about this? Although this heavy burden falls solely on you, if you can help Xiao Yan successfully find the strange fire, I will agree to find the corpse of a Dou Zun master for you. What do you think?"

“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”

Yao Chen was speechless at this moment. He had previously secretly believed that Zhongli was a casual, hands-off teacher. However, since Zhongli was indeed busy, as a colleague, why not teach him in his place?

Zhongli tightly grasped the hand offered by Yao Chen and said with a smile, "A gentleman's promise is more important than Mount Tai."
