The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3316 - 3311: Feel Free to Let the Horses Gallop_1

Yang Chen paused briefly, his mind swirling with various ideas. In the beginning, the Ice and Fire Star hadn't captured his full attention. Yet, if it connected to the homeland of the Icefire Heavenly Phoenix, the situation shifted dramatically.

Curiosity about Bao Lu's location had long lingered in Yang Chen's thoughts, and he'd even inquired with Heng Ye previously. Still, Heng Ye's reply came across as rather confusing.

As a result, Yang Chen had to set aside the matter for now and focus on what lay ahead. All the same, he remembered the Ice and Fire Star, hoping for an opportunity to explore it, especially if it revealed clues about Bao Lu's position.

Upon hearing mention of the Ice and Fire Star now, interest sparked in him, leading him to inquire, "How much Jiyu Essence can be harvested from the Ice and Fire Star?"

"About 1.8 million," Linglong Fairy answered gently. "Among the first three options, the Ice and Fire Star holds the largest quantity of Jiyu Essence, though as Young Master Yang Chen just learned from me, its risks are considerable. Three formidable Heavenly Fate Realm experts guard the Ice and Fire Star. I truly believe it's not the best pick for Young Master Yang Chen."

Yang Chen brushed off deeper concerns and responded, "No problem, just let me see the mini planet."

Linglong Fairy found Yang Chen's intentions puzzling.

While the Ice and Fire Star offered a greater haul of Jiyu Essence, those three Heavenly Fate Realm experts posed a real threat—not mere decoration. Should Yang Chen venture there, bringing reinforcements made sense at minimum. Heading solo to the Ice and Fire Star raised serious alarms.

Even so, she refrained from probing more and passed the mini planet over to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen accepted the mini planet, probed it with his soul, and grasped every detail within.

"Defeating the Four-direction Ghost Kings grants 300,000 Jiyu Essence!"

"Eliminating the Wind-Thunder Ghost King yields 240,000 Jiyu Essence!"

"Taking down the Earthquake Palace Ghost King provides 270,000 Jiyu Essence."

"Rescuing..."

These three Ghost Kings drew Yang Chen's keenest focus.

Together, just these three Ghost Kings promised 800,000 Jiyu Essence.

It stood to reason—after all, they were Heavenly Fate Realm Ghost Kings, justifying their hefty rewards. No surprise, then, that Linglong Fairy opposed selecting this realm. Slaying Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses sounded outright implausible.

"Luckily, these three Heavenly Fate Realm masters are only at the early phase. Facing them, I wouldn't stand completely without a fighting chance," Yang Chen mused inwardly.

He weighed the advantages against the drawbacks. Without factoring in Bao Lu, the earlier two realms suited him far better than the Ice and Fire Star.

But with Bao Lu in the equation, Yang Chen clenched his jaw and resolved to gamble on it.

Even clashing with early Heavenly Fate Realm experts, he could hold his own without total defeat or failed escape.

"Has Young Master Yang Chen decided?" Linglong Fairy observed from nearby, sensing his resolve, and questioned.

Yang Chen gave a nod and declared, "Yes, I'll select the Ice and Fire Star."

Linglong Fairy felt a mix of frustration and helplessness, saying, "Young Master Yang Chen, your decisions are so unpredictable. Won't you think it over again? The Ice and Fire Star carries both benefits and perils for you. That 1.8 million Jiyu Essence tempts greatly, yet those three Heavenly Fate Realm Ghost Kings alone make up 800,000. How much will you truly claim in the end?"

Yang Chen appreciated Linglong Fairy's concern but offered little explanation. He affirmed simply, "I pick the Ice and Fire Star."

Noting Yang Chen's firm stance, Linglong Fairy let out a sigh and conceded, "Fine, if Young Master Yang Chen insists, I won't push back further. I'll follow your wish and handle the registration."

"Thanks, Miss Linglong," Yang Chen expressed.

Linglong Fairy gave a wry smile, "Young Master Yang Chen, no thanks required. If you insist on gratitude, then harvest plenty of Jiyu Essence and return unharmed from the Ice and Fire Star—that would earn my thanks."

"Hahaha, naturally," Yang Chen replied assuredly, arms folded behind him. No trio of early Heavenly Fate Realm experts could halt his progress.

Linglong Fairy couldn't fathom the source of Yang Chen's assurance but chose not to delve. She murmured, "I'll take care of the registration; Young Master Yang Chen needn't trouble himself."

"No worries. I'll join my companions," Yang Chen stated.

Linglong Fairy sighed to herself. Despite his five-level merit, Yang Chen remained modest and easygoing. They meshed perfectly in most ways, save for his unyielding pride and drive, which proved exasperating.

"If Young Master Yang Chen wishes to come along, that's all the better," Linglong Fairy remarked with a grin.

Evidently, visitors to the sub-hall for four-level merits and higher were sparse.

The pair proceeded without queuing and soon arrived at the registration desk.

The Elder managing registrations appeared pale and gaunt, as if he'd cultivated certain Dao techniques and laws.

This slender Elder knew Linglong Fairy well. He chuckled, "Fairy Linglong, it's been ages. Looks like you've taken a new Daoist companion under your wing. Which realm does this Daoist friend aim to enter?"

Linglong Fairy responded steadily, "Young Master Yang Chen intends the Ice and Fire Star. Kindly register him, Elder Xu."

"Ice and Fire Star? A perilous realm indeed, typically chosen by mighty figures with six-level merits or more. Plus, recently, a Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse entered and vanished without trace—unclear what unfolded in the conflict. Anyway, off topic. How many accompany Daoist Yang Chen? Seems Fairy Linglong brought only him. Are the rest absent?"

Elder Xu inquired.

Linglong Fairy offered a bitter smile, "Elder Xu, you've got it wrong. Young Master Yang Chen plans to tackle the Ice and Fire Star solo."

"What?" Elder Xu's brows shot up in shock, blurting, "Alone?"

Linglong Fairy's lips parted faintly as she sent a mental message to Elder Xu, "This companion has a quirky nature. Simply process the registration, Elder Xu."

Though taken aback by the transmission, Elder Xu held back from further questions.

Yang Chen remained unaware of Linglong Fairy's private words and paid no mind. While completing his registration, his soul sense swept the surroundings, spotting over a dozen individuals approaching from behind.

This bunch turned out to be foes of Fu Xuanbing. Fu Xuanbing headed the group of more than a dozen, featuring known figures like Hu Kui. The one Yang Chen noted most was Heng Ye, present among them.

Fu Xuanbing sneered, "Heading to the Ice and Fire Star as well?"

"And if I am?" Yang Chen shot back casually.

Fu Xuanbing let out a haughty laugh, "What a twist—our crew's bound for the Ice and Fire Star too, just to check it out. Hope we don't cross paths and swipe tasks you're eyeing, costing you heaps of Jiyu Essence. Better not let it rile you."

Yang Chen recognized Fu Xuanbing's taunt as intimidation and countered coolly, "If Daoist Friend Fu possesses the skill, feel free to attempt it. Truth be told, unlike Daoist Friend Fu, I sleep easy at night. After all, Daoist Friend Fu knows the sting of robbery firsthand."
