Your Value Determines How I Value You

After his monthly date ended, Wu Yong returned to the Inner Academy feeling somewhat curious. With himself as an unexpected variable, could Medusa still evolve into the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?

Also, did Yao Lao, who was by Xiao Yan's side, possess any Poison Attribute Di-tier Dou Techniques?

If not, should he head to the Chu Yun Empire, that nation where poison masters gathered, and sweep through it?

If the Chu Yun Empire had none either, then Wu Yong would have to make some inquiries.

As for his own cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, Wind Attribute ones were not particularly rare, and he was not especially desperate for Earth-tier Cultivation Techniques or Dou Techniques right now.

The boost to his strength provided by Son of Wind would only grow greater as he continued developing this talent.

Space Slash alone was enough for him.

Cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques were not particularly important, provided one's cultivation was high enough.

As long as one's cultivation was powerful enough, even an ordinary attack could wield the might of a Heaven-Tier Dou Technique.

Now a six-star Dou Wang, Wu Yong sighed. His original plan had been to cultivate straight through to the Dou Emperor realm before helping Medusa.

Who would have thought it would be because of that fragment map...

"No, actually, I changed my plans at the last minute. It wasn't that I forgot about the fragment map."

The next day, the stubborn Wu Yong took leave from the academy.

Flying at several times the speed of sound, he reached the skies above the Tagor Desert in less than five days.

A streak of azure light cut across the sky and descended amid Medusa's eager anticipation.

"This servant welcomes Master. Master has endured a long journey and gone to great trouble."

"Mm. Lead the way."

"Yes, Master."

Wu Yong lowered his head and accepted the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map. Seeing Medusa acting so respectfully, he reached out and patted her head.

The pet he had tamed was about to evolve. He wondered what she would evolve into.

He should comfort her a little more before the evolution. Hopefully, she would not disappoint him.

After flying for a while, Wu Yong, dissatisfied with Medusa's flight speed, grabbed her shoulder.

"Too slow. You point the way. I'll carry you."

"Ah?"

Watching the world rapidly recede from her vision, Medusa experienced true speed for the first time.

It had taken her several days to fly here from the Snake-Person Holy City, but with Wu Yong carrying her, it took just over two hours to return.

At this speed, was it any wonder he was the man who had made her submit?

"Master, you're so fast!"

"..."

Wu Yong glanced at her. After confirming that she had no hidden meaning, he nodded slightly.

Then Wu Yong shifted his gaze and gave the Snake-Person Race's Holy City a rough look.

It was just so-so. Compared to Canaan City, it was utterly lacking. Still, it had some distinctive Snake-Person Race flair, and it was somewhat interesting upon closer inspection.

"Master, you have traveled a long way. Why not rest for a night in this servant's palace? Let this servant attend to you properly." Medusa carefully sought Wu Yong's opinion, unsure whether he was satisfied with her arrangements.

Wu Yong looked at Medusa, then shook his head slightly at the snake tail on her lower body. "Mm, there is no need for you to attend to me. Adjust your condition properly. We can discuss it after you finish evolving."

Medusa froze for a moment, not expecting Wu Yong to refuse so readily.

Didn't human men all like the Snake-Person Race's distinctive snake tails?

Many of those men who spent enormous sums buying Snake-Person female slaves had a particular taste for that.

Still, she did not dare neglect Wu Yong's instructions. She immediately led him into the temple.

She also ordered the other snake people to show Wu Yong the same respect they showed her.

Seated upon the throne, Wu Yong quietly watched Medusa's actions, as though none of it concerned him.

Whether she announced her subordinate status was unimportant. Whether she was loyal was unimportant as well.

A roadside snake that he could bisect with Space Slash was simply not worth much of Wu Yong's attention.

If not for her sufficiently humble conduct at the time, as well as her potential to evolve, Wu Yong would not even have lent her the crystal. He could not be bothered to deal with her.

Did a female snake person at the Dou Emperor realm deserve to serve him?

When he thought back on it in the future, Wu Yong might even find it embarrassing.

He was the Son of Wind, the child of wind, one of the four great elements—earth, fire, water, and wind—that formed this world.

In terms of bloodline, Wu Yong was ten thousand times nobler than all those Dou Di clans combined!

"Your value determines how I value you."

Wu Yong supported himself against the throne with one hand, propped his head up, and slowly closed his eyes.

The wind silently guarded him. Invisible wind enveloped every corner of the entire Snake-Person Holy City.

Unlike light, which had places of darkness it could not reach.

Wind was everywhere.

Wu Yong had never minded judging human hearts with the utmost malice. That was also why he had survived until now.

Medusa naturally sensed Wu Yong's indifference and believed it was only natural.

Even she, the strongest of the Snake-Person Race, had been defeated by Master so easily and treated as insignificant. In Master's eyes, the other snake people must be even less worthy of notice.

What right did she, so weak, and the Snake-Person Race, so weak, have to catch Master's eye?

Evolve!

Only evolution!

Only after successfully evolving, after her bloodline transformed and she broke through to the Dou Zong level, might she perhaps be qualified to be taken seriously by Master...

Medusa recalled how it had felt when Master carried her back today: that extreme speed, several times beyond the limit of a Dou Emperor expert, and that irresistible Space Slash...

Those two things alone made Medusa feel Wu Yong's unparalleled power, leaving her unable to help becoming fascinated by him.

This man who had forcefully conquered her and made her submit was so powerful, so extraordinary. Other men could not compare to even a single hair on his head. He was the one and only existence in this world!

She wanted to follow him, but unfortunately, she was not yet qualified...

The following afternoon, Medusa, having adjusted her condition, led Wu Yong to the place she had long prepared for her evolution.

The giant python in the vast lake lay as still as death under the suppression of Medusa's aura.

Within the bamboo grove on the small island, the Green Lotus Core Flame burned quietly atop the Green Lotus Platform.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the pool did not serve its intended purpose. The Green Lotus Core Flame, born in such an environment, did not need to be suppressed at all.

Without hesitation, Medusa removed her clothes, displaying her beautiful body before her Master.

Then she revealed her form as a massive purple python. After seeing Wu Yong nod calmly, she charged straight into the Green Lotus Core Flame.

In an instant, Medusa's miserable scream rang out over the city.

The Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been burning quietly, became enraged. It wanted to burn this intruder who had disturbed its home to death!

Driven by pain, the purple python's body thrashed wildly, devastating the bamboo grove beyond recognition.

Yet as she moved wildly, the azure flames spread across her entire body, bringing even greater agony.
