Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 61 - Brawl Forest

"Brother Long, you make a good point. If you were besieged, you’d be weakened even after a victory. It would be hard for you to get out of it unscathed if I were to attack you then," Tang Le said, quickly catching up to Long Chen. He continued with a grin, "But rest assured, Brother Long, I definitely won’t lay a finger on you. And to save time and prevent Huang Xu from getting a chance to secretly harm us, I have a solution that benefits us both."

Upon hearing this, Long Chen grew curious. "What solution?"

"Heh, it’s simple. As soon as we enter the Brawl Forest, we’ll team up to defeat all the other disciples and take their Human Martial Beads!" At this, Tang Le patted his large belly and said contentedly, "That way, the battle in the Bing Institute’s Brawl Forest will be over quickly. Huang Xu won’t get the chance to set a trap for us, and you, Brother Long, can enjoy all 180,000,000 Human Martial Beads for yourself."

"One hundred and eighty million beads? All for me?" Long Chen narrowed his eyes.

Tang Le nodded. "There are 901 rooms in the Bing Institute, each with twenty people. Nine hundred of those rooms are full. Excluding you and me, that’s 18,000 disciples. Each of them has 10,000 Human Martial Beads, so the total is naturally 180,000,000 beads. They’re all yours. I don’t want a single one!"

Long Chen laughed. "That’s certainly a good plan. You make the first move, and I’ll provide backup. How about it?"

"You don’t trust me, Brother Long? All the Human Martial Beads go to you, yet you still want me to face all the disciples alone?" Tang Le’s eyelids twitched.

"Why should I trust you unconditionally?" Long Chen retorted.

What if Tang Le is just using this plan to start a massive fight so he can attack me in the chaos? Even if the sect forbids killing fellow sect members, it’s not entirely preventable. Otherwise, how would Huang Xu dare to kill so many disciples? As the saying goes, one can never be too careful, especially now that our interests are intertwined.

"Fine! I’ll take on all the Bing Institute disciples! You just watch Huang Xu for me from the sidelines!" Tang Le gritted his teeth, seething inwardly.

No matter how frustrated he was, he had no other choice. He couldn’t give Huang Xu an opportunity to enact some scheme. Ending the battle in the Brawl Forest as quickly as possible was the best strategy!

"Then I’ll be counting on you, Brother Tang," Long Chen smiled, not about to refuse such an easy gain.

A short while later, led by Huang Xu and the five Heads of the Court from the Bing Institute, the group finally arrived at the Brawl Forest.

Looking around, the forest was rather dim. Dark clouds covered the sky above, and a light drizzle was falling. The roars of wild beasts echoed from within the woods from time to time.

At this moment, the Bing Institute disciples looked grim. They had already separated into five camps, each with over three thousand people. At the front of each of the five camps stood a leader—four men and one woman.

"Brother Long, do you see those five leaders?" Tang Le said, standing beside Long Chen. "They are ranked second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth in the Bing Institute. All five of them are at the War Master Realm Ninth Layer Heaven."

Long Chen nodded. "So you’re number one? A Half-step War Maniac."

In terms of pure Martial Arts Realm, Long Chen was only at the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm. His combat power was only comparable to a Half-step War Maniac because of the Third Layer of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula. Therefore, in the Martial Arts Realm, Long Chen was a step below Tang Le.

"No, no, no, you’re number one. Like I just said, in a battle between equals, it would be very difficult for me to beat you," Tang Le said, waving his hands frantically.

Long Chen gave him a meaningful look. ’Difficult to win’ doesn’t mean a guaranteed loss. He was still confident. But Tang Le was unaware that the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body was invincible in the same realm. He didn’t even know what kind of constitution Long Chen possessed!

Just then, a Head of the Court announced loudly, "You may begin. The time limit is three days and three nights. Enter the Brawl Forest."

Tang Le cracked his knuckles. "Brother Long, while you’re keeping an eye on Huang Xu, you also have to stop the other disciples from escaping. If even one gets away, the battle in the Brawl Forest won’t end right away."

"Understood," Long Chen nodded.
