Chapter 376 - Demon Seed Planting: Second Stage

There had been a bout of excitement over the fight for the first stage, but the crowd was even more excited to see who would receive the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique.

Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu had always been almost equal. Yang Danfeng had always been number one in the rankings, but most people knew that there was actually not much of a difference between first and second.

Who would win this round?

The person who won the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique today would take one step forward on their journey of cultivation, leaving the other behind to become the true number one of the Heavenly Demon Palace’s younger generation.

Everyone watched as Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu placed the Fire Essences they had gathered on the ground. The Fire Essences fell from their Universe Pouches one by one and soon formed small piles. They did not exceed Long Chen’s number, but these two were still competing.

After some time, they were finally done. To the crowd’s excitement, the two piles looked very similar, and it was difficult to determine the winner just by looking.

“I gathered 652 Fire Essences. However, I also have Divine Essence Crystals in my Universe Pouch,” said Yang Danfeng mildly.

“I have a total of 687 Fire Essences. Of course, I also have Divine Essence Crystals in my Universe Pouch,” said Murong Yu. So far, she had thirty-five more Fire Essences than Yang Danfeng, but the number of Divine Essence Crystals was most important. That was why she was not very confident.

In the beginning, when everyone saw that they did not have as many Fire Essences as Long Chen, respect for Long Chen grew. But if they still had Divine Essence Crystals, then Long Chen’s results were only average compared to them.

“Chen Qing, Liu Xiyang, count their Fire Essences,” Zhao Qingyun instructed since their results were very similar. A small difference could affect the results, so Zhao Qingyun did not dare act recklessly. He appointed two random elders to count the Fire Essences.

However, the results were soon announced. Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu had not faked their numbers.

“If that is the case, show us your Divine Essence Crystals. Show us what the final results of the Heavenly Demon Palace’s two most outstanding disciples are. Do we have a number higher than a thousand?” Zhao Qingyun said with a smile. He recalled that before entering the Pyro Passageways, Long Chen had suggested to him that if he came out with more Fire Essences than Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu, then he would win the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique.

That was why he was very anxious for the results. If neither had more than a thousand Fire Essences even after including their Divine Essence Crystals, then Long Chen was the largest victor today.

However, a rare confidence shone in the three Demon Elders’ eyes.

The first and second stages of the Demon Seed Planting Technique, as well as the Frost Soul Essence, were three presents the Demon Elders had prepared for their disciples. Out of three items, two had already gone to Long Chen. The remaining item was the only one that the Demon Elders were confident about.

Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu took out their Divine Essence Crystals, and everyone looked over.

“Let me see! Not bad! Murong Yu is holding five Divine Essence Crystals! And Yang Danfeng is holding ... six! That’s right, six!” Zhao Qingyun was surprised. Six Divine Essence Crystals was an excellent result. If they only had three, then Long Chen would have been the victor. It was too bad that they had more than five, so there was no hope for Long Chen.

After Yang Danfeng took out his Divine Essence Crystals, everyone knew that the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique would belong to him. It was no surprise to everyone that Yang Danfeng was the final winner, but some of the male disciples had been rooting for Murong Yu. She had a great personality and was a pretty girl after all, so she was the ultimate goddess to many of them. And she was much more popular than Yang Danfeng.

Murong Yu bit her lip gently. She had previously told the three Demon Elders her number, but they had not told her Yang Danfeng’s number. After the results were announced, and she realized she had lost, she felt dejected knowing that she would likely be bullied by Yang Danfeng in the future.

“If that is the case, then I shall announce the winner of the second stage,” Zhao Qingyun said.

Everyone already knew the results.

“Wait.” Someone interrupted Zhao Qingyun. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Long Chen, who had been defeated by Murong Yu and Yang Danfeng. They were puzzled. What was he doing?

“Long Chen, do you have something else to say?” Zhao Qingyun was surprised, but in reality, he hadn’t gotten over the surprise of seeing Long Chen take out a thousand Fire Essences.

“Master and Demon Elders, before entering the Pyro Passageways, I asked if I could get the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique if I gathered more Fire Essences than Murong Yu and Yang Danfeng. You all agreed that I could, right?” Long Chen looked up with a faint smile.

“We did agree to it, and everyone who was present witnessed it. However, you only have a thousand Fire Essences, yet they have more than a thousand when adding the Divine Essence Crystals. That is why I can’t give you the second stage.” Zhao Qingyun was a little puzzled. While he really wanted to fulfill Long Chen’s wish, he could not show favoritism in front of everyone.

The three Demon Elders chuckled and looked at him in contempt. The Third Demon Elder said in his shrill voice, “You even called yourself a prodigy, yet can’t you do simple math?”

No one knew what Long Chen was implying.

Long Chen took a step forward and looked around, then he said, “Everyone, during the first round, the Palace Lord asked us to count our Fire Essences, so I did. But I did not say that I did not have any Divine Essence Crystals! If they can exceed one thousand because of their Divine Essence Crystals, do my Divine Essence Crystals count as well?”

Long Chen had spoken loudly, and his words shook everyone. Did he really have Divine Essence Crystals? And did his final figure surpass Yang Danfeng?

Yang Danfeng, who had defeated Murong Yu, was stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at Long Chen’s palm in disbelief!

Long Chen took out all his Divine Essence Crystals. There were ten in total on his palm. Everyone felt like they had been struck by a hammer.

“During the training exercise, I, Long Chen, found a thousand Fire Essences and ten Divine Essence Crystals. That makes a total of two thousand. May I ask if I have surpassed Yang Danfeng yet? Or is there an issue with my math?”

No one answered him.

That was because it was difficult to answer. It was a very obvious question, and Long Chen had won. He had obtained complete victory by far surpassing them all. Not only had he taken the Frost Soul Essence, but the first and second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique had also ended up with him!

This set off a huge wave of shock across the whole Heavenly Demon Palace!

No one had ever been able to achieve this in such a short time. Long Chen’s performance was just too extraordinary. Jaws dropped among the Enforcers and elders, while the disciples fought to swarm forward, wanting to see what had just happened. The front of the Demon Pavilion was chaotic.

On top of shock, Zhao Qingyun also felt deep joy. Long Chen had made him very proud today. On the other hand, the three Demon Elders and Yang Danfeng all felt like they had been struck by lightning! Yang Danfeng finally understood why Yang Jun had lost his mind before! The resentment, misery, and rage in him had reached a point where he could not control himself!

The piece of meat had already reached his mouth, and he was drooling, waiting to have a taste of it. But then Long Chen came out of nowhere and snatched the meat away! How could the starving Yang Danfeng keep his cool?

Yang Danfeng was about to attack Long Chen—he could no longer control himself.

That was when an old man appeared in front of him, blocking his way. Yang Danfeng looked over and saw that it was his master, the First Demon Elder. The Second and Third Demon Elders were standing next to him. The First Demon Elder first looked at Long Chen, then at Zhao Qingyun.

The anger had disappeared from their eyes, and their expressions were extremely cold. Terrifyingly cold. Long Chen knew that this was only the calm before the storm. Their reactions showed how terrifying the coming storm would be!

“Palace Lord, it looks like our business here is done for today. Please excuse us!” Then they all left without even turning around. Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, they led their disciples out of the building. Long Chen saw viciousness and venom radiating from them.

It looks like the coming days will not be peaceful.

He suddenly recalled that before entering the Pyro Passageways, Yang Danfeng had warned him that if he did not let Yang Jun win, he would kill Wang Xing, the errand boy. Long Chen decided to watch Wang Xing when he got back.

After the three Demon Elders left, all eyes returned to Zhao Qingyun.

“In conclusion, I hereby declare that the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique goes to Long Chen!” Zhao Qingyun’s joy reached its peak.
