Chapter 7: Dropping A Good Item
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Little chap, you certainly have to accept my power if you want to become strong quickly. Only by allowing me to inject my power into your body will you be able to possess extremely powerful might within a short period of time." The Ghost Fire King naturally sensed Tang Sen's vigilance from his words. Hence, he continued to delude Tang Sen.
"Really? I will be able to gain great strength in a short time by allowing your powers to enter my body?" Tang Sen followed the Ghost Fire King's words and questioned him. However, he had already labeled the Ghost Fire King as 'crafty' in his heart.
'I'm someone who is going to become the Lord of Flames! How will I be deceived by you, a fellow who has been sealed for almost 1,000 years?'
"Of course! Would I lie to you? You're merely a small flame. What do you have that is worthy of me deceiving you?" The Ghost Fire King was very displeased with Tang Sen's questioning. Hence, he said, "Besides, do I seem like the kind of person who does not keep my words?"
"No, but what should I do to allow your power to enter my body?" Tang Sen was a ball of fire right now, so it was impossible for the Ghost Fire King's power to enter his body as one would do with a human body.
"Come in front of me. I have methods to transfer my power to you." A gleam emerged in the Ghost Fire King's eyes because he thought his plot had succeeded.
The Ghost Fire King's expression did not escape Tang Sen's eyes. However, Tang Sen still controlled his body to fly towards the Ghost Fire King.
Yes, the Ghost Fire King wished to devour him. At the same time, Tang Sen also wanted to burn the Ghost Fire King to death. Therefore, the first step was to move closer to the Ghost Fire King.
The Ghost Fire King watched as Tang Sen actually flew towards him. The delight in his eyes grew stronger, and he could not resist revealing a smile on his face as if Tang Sen was already in his palm.
Presently, he was inwardly thinking about how he ought to get his revenge after he recovered capabilities.
"Just like that? What else should I do?" Tang Sen took in the Ghost Fire King's attitude and asked a question, pretending like he was absolutely clueless.
"Just that will do. You don't have to do anything." The Ghost Fire King's tone contained a hint of irrepressible excitement since he was about to regain his strength.
The Ghost Fire King stretched out his arm as he spoke, wanting to touch Tang Sen.
Right as the Ghost Fire King's shriveled palm was about to land on Tang Sen, the flames abruptly surged and swallowed the Ghost Fire King entirely.
"Ah… Brat, y-you actually dared to plot against me?" The Ghost Fire King instantly caught on and screeched.
However, Tang Sen currently wasn't bothered to reply to the Ghost Fire King. Instead, he continuously increased the flames' temperature.
"System, strengthen!"
"Ah… Brat, I'm going to kill you!" The Ghost Fire King shrieked, and the aura around his body continued to resist against Tang Sen. He completely did not expect that Tang Sen would play a trick.
At this very moment, his heart was filled with rage! Putting aside the fact he had been sealed for almost 1,000 years, he actually encountered such an occurrence when he was just released. He was the Ghost Fire King! He remembered the days when he made a clean sweep of one million bold soldiers…
Right now, he had just been set up by a ball of fire. Most importantly, that ball of fire even wanted to devour him!
How could he tolerate this?
"Roar! I want to kill you!" The Ghost Fire King's raging roar reverberated around the whole altar as his resistance also became increasingly fierce.
Upon sensing the Ghost Fire King's energy becoming even more violent, with signs of him becoming irrepressible anytime, Tang Sen promptly increased the flames' intensity.
"System, continue to strengthen the flames!"
Without a doubt, Tang Sen would be the one in danger if he was unable to burn the Ghost Fire King to death! Thus, Tang Sen currently no longer cared about how many Energy Points would be expended as he strengthened the flames.
The next second, Tang Sen yelled, "Blue Lotus Sword Song! Come out!"
In the empty space, fiery flames instantly condensed into a blooming lotus flower, which faintly mingled with the aura of flames. The surrounding temperature also increased multiple times when it appeared.
"Damn! Damn it! What exactly are you?" The Ghost Fire King felt the energy in his body vanish bit by bit as he roared out a question.
"Something that wants your life! Old fellow, you actually even had the vain hope of devouring me? You really thought I would be fooled?" Tang Sen scoffed in disdain. "Make me stronger? Look at how weak you are! You better obediently turn into my Energy Points now."
"Dream on! I will not be killed off so easily!" The Ghost Fire King snarled indignantly. As his words fell, the aura surrounding the Ghost Fire King abruptly intensified.
At the same time, Tang Sen clearly sensed his own flames being suppressed by the Ghost Fire King.
"System, increase the flame intensity!" Tang Sen ordered without hesitation.
The ordinary strengthening of the flame intensity required 10,000 Energy Points per second, while enhancing the strengthening would consume twice the number of Energy Points.
The consumption doubled, but the effect of the boosted flame intensity was also evidently much greater.
This also returned the upper hand to Tang Sen.
Feeling the flames suddenly intensify, the Ghost Fire King was frightened in his heart for a time. Presently, he could distinctly feel his life draining away. If this were to go on, only one outcome would await him—his body dying, and his cultivation attainments vanishing!
How could he take that lying down? For the past 1,000 years, the Ghost Fire King had been waiting for a chance to break the seal. Though he had now finally left the seal—where he never saw light—he had to face the possibility of being killed right after. How could he accept it?
Instead of this, he would rather remain in the seal. He could keep his life at the least. However, the Ghost Fire King no longer had a choice now. He could only put up one last fight!
As a result, the Ghost Fire King promptly became even more insane.
Tang Sen naturally knew that the Ghost Fire King intended to risk everything to win. Hence, he had prepared in advance.
The Blue Lotus Sword Song appeared once more, directly enveloping the Ghost Fire King within it. Together with the unmatched searing temperatures from Tang Sen's flames, the Ghost Fire King's mad resistance did not make much of a difference.
Very soon, the Ghost Fire King's energy gradually lessened. Starting from his legs, the Ghost Fire King slowly disappeared little by little inside the flames.
"Rascal, I curse upon you a terrible death!" The Ghost Fire King snarled indignantly.
Currently, the game was set. He no longer had the strength to resist. What awaited him next was death!
"Curse? Heh, if curses do work, I reckon you would have died long ago!" Tang Sen chuckled coldly.
As his words fell, Tang Sen did not give the Ghost Fire King the chance to continue speaking at all. He increased the flames' intensity with a thought and directly burned the Ghost Fire King's skull completely.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning the atrocious Ghost Fire King. Gained 100 million energy points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning the atrocious Ghost Fire King. Gained new fire type, Devil Fire (Yellow grade)!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning the atrocious Ghost Fire King. Specially rewarded one Godhead (unactivated)!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on reaching 100 million energy points. Flames automatically evolving to Black-grade. Energy Point requirement increased by 100 million for every subsequent level up."
…
At this very moment, Tang Sen's mood could no longer be described using the word 'delight.' Tang Sen was virtually ravished with joy. He never expected that burning the Ghost Fire King to death would yield him so many unimaginably good things! However, what appealed to him most was the Godhead!
