A Wager with King of Ten Thousand Monsters

Yin Chuan's gaze was dangerous, his bearing aggressive. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—five Soul Rings!

The fifth Soul Ring still glimmered with an inky-black radiance,

instantly drenching Dean of Nuoding in cold sweat.

This was bad!

Hadn't Yin Chuan left?

Why had he come back with a Horse-Turning Spear?

What was he supposed to do now?

If a Soul King with a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring caused trouble, he would not even be able to protect himself, let alone handle it.

"Teacher Yin Chuan, please listen to my explanation."

Dean of Nuoding swallowed hard, his voice trembling, utterly devoid of his earlier imposing manner.

Arrogant before, respectful after...

"Hm?"

Yin Chuan looked at Yu Xiaogang in Dean of Nuoding's hand.

Bang!

Dean of Nuoding immediately got the hint and threw Yu Xiaogang away.

Yu Xiaogang crashed onto the ground.

Suffering a second injury, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"I'm not familiar with him..."

Dean of Nuoding gave an awkward, fawning smile.

Who was Gangzi?

He truly did not know him!

"Uncle!!!"

Tang San was overjoyed, nearly floating off the ground.

His uncle was back!

And he had come to stand up for him. So cool!

He felt so safe...

"Uncle, didn't you say you would return in half a year?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

"Did you forget something?"

Tang San asked curiously.

They had clearly agreed on half a year, yet only half a day had passed. Could it be that Yin Chuan had forgotten something, returned to retrieve it, and would leave again afterward?

Then Tang San would have to endure the pain of gaining something back, only to lose it again.

"I came back to take you with me."

Yin Chuan's answer was simple, yet it made Tang San's brain flood with dopamine. He was so excited and happy that words failed him.

His uncle had returned to take him along!

He would not be abandoned!

Being with his uncle was his whole world!

"Uncle!!"

Tang San was completely reassured, ecstatic beyond measure.

"Mhm. Go pack your things in the dormitory."

Yin Chuan planted the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear on the ground, leaving Tang San with a towering back.

"Uncle..."

Tang San still wanted to say something, but the perceptive Xiao Wu dragged him away.

After Tang San and Xiao Wu left,

Yin Chuan casually glanced at Dean of Nuoding, then at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground.

It was merely a casual look, yet Dean of Nuoding's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, while the warning bells in his heart rang madly.

His life or death rested entirely on Yin Chuan's whim!

"You like using pressure, do you?"

Yin Chuan's face was cold and proud, his tone devoid of emotion.

Using pressure to suppress his nephew?

Bullying the weak with strength?

Did they think this uncle of his did not exist?

However they had suppressed Tang San, he would suppress them right back!

Boom!!!!

A pressure countless times stronger than Dean of Nuoding's erupted with overwhelming force.

An incomparably domineering tyrannical aura burst from the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear.

Bang!

As though a mountain weighing millions of tons had been placed upon his shoulders, Dean of Nuoding was pressed directly to the ground, unable to move.

With Dean of Nuoding's pressure,

he could not possibly suppress Tang San, who possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and cultivated the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear.

But Yin Chuan's pressure

could immobilize Dean of Nuoding with mere aura alone. That was true suffering!

"Urgh..."

Dean of Nuoding struggled to breathe, his face flushed red as his vision repeatedly darkened.

Only after several incense sticks' worth of time

did Yin Chuan slowly withdraw his aura. By then, Dean of Nuoding felt as though he had seen his late grandmother and was on the verge of passing out.

"I'm taking Tang San and Xiao Wu with me."

"Do not try to learn anything about us."

"Stay away from Yu Xiaogang."

"Watch your mouth."

Yin Chuan withdrew the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, turned, and strode away. His warnings could be heard only by him and Dean of Nuoding.

Only after Yin Chuan's figure completely vanished down the classroom corridor

did Dean of Nuoding collapse to the floor.

He was drenched in sweat, as though he had just been hauled out of water.

"Master, Master... you've truly ruined me this time."

Dean of Nuoding gave a bitter smile.

Because of the Master,

he had not only offended Yin Chuan and suffered a brutal beating, but also lost Tang San and Xiao Wu, two genius students, after they were taken away. He had lost everything.

That damn bastard!!

Some rejoiced, while others worried.

Tang San, on the other hand, was delighted.

"Uncle, Uncle, I'm ready."

Tang San quickly packed his simple luggage, unable to wait to follow his uncle to a new place.

"Wait for me."

Xiao Wu fumbled with several large bags, deeply envious of the storage Soul Tools belonging to Yin Chuan and Tang San.

"Yin Chuan, with the friendship between us, you can't even give me a storage Soul Tool?"

Xiao Wu looked at Yin Chuan eagerly.

"Take it."

Yin Chuan flicked a storage ring at Xiao Wu's forehead.

"Ow!"

Xiao Wu cried out, and a red bump immediately rose on her forehead. Yet as she stroked the storage ring, she instantly beamed.

"Hehe, thank you for the reward, Uncle!"

Whether she acted spoiled depended on the person.

Xiao Wu could be spoiled and demanding with Da Ming and Er Ming, but before Yin Chuan, she was obedient and sensible.

"If you're ready, then let's go."

Yin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He led the two of them to Notting City's gate and hired a carriage to leave the city.

As he considered where to go next,

Yin Chuan planned to return to the Blue Silver Forest, help Tang San break through the Golden Dragon King's second seal, and advance the Main Quest.

In only half a day, he had already obtained the Millennium Dragon Scale Fruit, Blue Vein Vine, Earth Dragon Tendon, and Sea Dragon Marrow.

More precisely, he had acquired them from someone else.

Not long ago:

"Child of Nature?!"

"What happened to you?"

The man in green spoke in utter shock, staring at Yin Chuan in disbelief.

From an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

to a Child of Nature,

this was not merely like a sparrow turning into a phoenix—it was like becoming the phoenix's father!

"I told you, I'm confident I can become a god."

"So?"

"King of Ten Thousand Monsters, sacrifice yourself to me. I am now a Child of Nature. If you sacrifice yourself to me, your future will be wide open."

"Even if I fail to become a god, under the protection of the Ancient Tree of Nature, you will still have a perfect way out."

Yin Chuan's tone was seductive.

That was right. The man in green before him was King of Ten Thousand Monsters, one of the Ten Great Savage Beasts!

A Demon Eye Demon Tree with cultivation exceeding five hundred and twenty thousand years!

The uncrowned king of plant-type Soul Beasts!

He was also Yin Chuan's former superior who had led him into the Soul Beast core region.

"Hmph, you certainly have grand dreams!"

"Don't forget our wager."

"If your cultivation reaches Rank 90 before you turn twenty, I will sacrifice myself to you and become your ninth Soul Ring."

"If you fail, then your life will be mine. We both swore an oath. It cannot be broken."

"You are nearly fifteen already, yet you only have five Soul Rings. With five years remaining, I want to see how you plan to cultivate to Rank 90!"

King of Ten Thousand Monsters smiled, shrewd calculation buried deep in his eyes.

Yin Chuan's identity as a Child of Nature had indeed surprised him,

but Rank 90 before twenty?

Was Yin Chuan really bold enough to gamble on that!

So what if he was a Child of Nature?

Was King of Ten Thousand Monsters supposed to bow his head and submit?

No!

After another five years, he would merely gain a Child of Nature as a puppet subordinate!

Originally, King of Ten Thousand Monsters had only intended to casually collect a strange, unusually colored Blue Silver King possessing an attribute close to Ultimate Strength, satisfying his collector's urge.

He had not expected to pick up a Child of Nature. What a windfall!

"Fine, fine. Just lie there and watch."

"When I break through Rank 90, don't cry too ugly."

"For now..."

"I want Millennium Dragon Scale Fruit, Millennium Blue Tendon Vine, Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon, and Millennium Sea Dragon Marrow. Hand them over."

Yin Chuan held out his hand and demanded them with perfect confidence.
