Fulfilling a Wish (Part 2)

Ignis suddenly looked surprised.

You Chen said calmly, "You're clearly disappointed, yet you pretend to be excited and happy? Ignis, do you think your acting skills can fool my eyes?"

When You Chen exposed her lie on the spot, Ignis blushed deeply.

But she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

She even secretly resented herself for having doubted the leader for a moment! How could she forget that the leader had never let her down!

"The Five Qi Fire Evil is just an add-on; this is the real deal."

Instead of trying to appease Ignis, You Chen threw out a pitch-black booklet.

Still feeling embarrassed and flustered, Ignis quickly reacted, hurriedly taking the package. She looked closely and couldn't help but mutter the name on the cover, "Divine Elephant... Prison Suppressing Force?"

With curiosity in mind, Ignis put down the book and only glanced at the introduction of the technique before his eyes widened instantly!

She exclaimed in surprise, "This is a cultivation technique that specializes in physical training and can directly lead to the level of Titled Douluo!?"

Ignis looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock.

Having completed dozens of missions, both large and small, as Beast Soldier, Ignis is no longer the little girl she was a few years ago who didn't even know the basics of the continent.

Although she wasn't the Beast Envoy directly in charge of intelligence work, Ignis, as a high-ranking Beast Soldier, naturally had access to a large amount of intelligence information.

But even after searching the entire continent, I've never heard of many body-refining techniques.

The most famous body-refining method in the entire Douluo is still the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect. In fact, strictly speaking, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer cannot be called a body-refining technique, but rather a hammer technique. Body refinement is just a side effect that comes with practicing the hammer technique!

Most of the body tempering techniques used in Douluo involve refining the body with resources, such as medicinal baths.

The formulas for medicinal baths may differ, but the methods of absorption are largely the same, and they certainly cannot be considered any kind of body-refining technique.

But the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" is completely different! Although it still requires cultivation resources, it focuses on the method of cultivation. Even without top-notch medicinal resources, one can improve through normal eating and then spend more time cultivating.

Most importantly... it actually managed to reach the Titled Douluo level solely through physical cultivation!? Even just reaching the Titled Douluo in terms of physical strength is already incredibly remarkable!

"Chief, this is far too valuable!"

Ignis felt as if the technique was burning her hand and wanted to return it.

This is a completely different concept from the previous Soul Bone. This is an absolutely unparalleled divine skill that can cause a sensation throughout the entire continent!

"For someone like you who primarily relies on physical attacks and strength, this is the most effective technique to help you become stronger. As for its value..."

You Chen rarely showed a hint of speechlessness. "If it's not valuable enough, how can it be worthy of a 'wish'? You should know that the resources I provide to the Soul Arena Beasts, which are you, are all top-tier on the continent. If I don't offer something truly valuable, what's the difference between this and a regular reward for merit?"

The "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" that You Chen gave to Ignis was naturally not the complete version. If you had to say, it was just the "Giant Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength," which was a version that was censored to only include the introductory cultivation method.

Even so, its value is still extraordinary.

Especially for sects and nations, even a single Immortal Herb cannot compare to the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength," which only has an introductory level.

"This... this is different!"

Ignis quickly denied it, even tearing up with anxiety. Head bowed, she blurted out, "If... if I had known my wish was to force you, Chief, to give up something so precious, I would have known—I would have known better than to make that wish!!!"

Seeing Ignis's seemingly self-destructive state, You Chen knew it was because he held too heavy a place in her heart, but he had no intention of comforting her. Instead, he asked Youyou, "Is that so? If you are willing to accept this, then I can respect your choice as you wish."

Ignis, who was looking down at the ground, narrowed her eyes.

Give up? Really give up? This might be the only chance to catch up with the leader!

Just moments ago, Ignis had said, "It's good that I didn't make a wish," and regretted putting You Chen in a difficult position. But in just a short while, Ignis hesitated again.

She was torn internally.

After an unknown period of silence, she finally raised her head with difficulty, looked at You Chen, and said, word by word, "I'm sorry, sir, but... what I said earlier doesn't count! I don't want to give up!"

As she spoke, she hugged the black manual tightly to her chest.

You Chen's lips curled into a smile, "Haven't you already learned how to make your own decisions? Even openly going back on your word in front of me, it seems you really want to become stronger."

Upon hearing this, Ignis blushed, glanced at You Chen with trembling eyes, and then lowered her head, muttering incoherently.

"The Five Qi Fire Evil is used to compensate for your methods, the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength is a peerless skill that directly points to your path to becoming stronger, and then... there is this Aura Concealment Art."

Seeing You Chen hand over another book, Ignis's eyes widened. "Chief, there are more?!"

You Chen shook his head and said, "The 'Aura Concealment Art' not only helps you conceal your aura, allowing you to complete tasks better and increasing your safety, but it also enhances your control over your Soul Power. Just the latter point alone is a required course for all strong individuals; cultivating it is equivalent to greatly reducing the time it takes to become a strong individual. However, it wasn't given to you separately."

Unlike the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength", You Chen directly provided the complete version of the "Aura Concealment Art".

Even if you cultivate the "Aura Concealment Art" to its peak, it only maximizes its functionality, unlike the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" which can directly cultivate a super strong person.

Considering the nature of the Soul Arena Beasts's mission, You Chen felt it was necessary to bring out this method.

However, You Chen still left an "insurance" within it. Even if he cultivates to the perfect level, because of the slight difference in the energy circulation route compared to the original version, You Chen can still detect anyone who uses this "Aura Concealment Art" to approach him.

You Chen paused, then continued, "I'm entrusting you with judging whether the Soul Arena Beasts are qualified to learn the 'Aura Concealment Art,' and you will be the one to teach it. Will you only teach it to a small group of your subordinates, or will you teach it regardless of personal relationships or abilities? Will you teach different levels of the 'Aura Concealment Art' based on different levels of trust, or will you treat everyone equally? These are all decisions you must make. Ignis, this is your first test after you take over as Beast Head."

Upon receiving the "Aura Concealment Art, "Ignis quickly realized that it was a peerless skill on another level, no less powerful than the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength." As a result, she unconsciously tightened her grip on the "Aura Concealment Art."

In a daze, she felt as if a heavy burden had been placed on her shoulders, the pressure of responsibility.

"Leader!"

Ignis suddenly looked up, her eyes regaining the unwavering determination she had when the other Soul Arena Beasts called her "Red Dragon": "Since you say that I am capable of handling things on my own after becoming the Beast Head, then... this shouldn't be a test, but a mission."

After expressing her "resistance" to You Chen for the first time and deciding to back out, Ignis felt that something in her heart had quietly changed.

Even though her strength was still not up to par, her position in the organization had indeed risen to the level of the person in front of her.

A great sin called "greed" gradually rose within her.

Ignis stuck out her slender red tongue and licked her red lips, then grinned slightly, revealing a charming smile, "So, I want... payment."

When the seasons change, all I want to do is lie in bed and not do any work...
