Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 85 - Extremely Willing!

Long Chen frowned slightly. It seemed he couldn’t leave without accepting the Spirit Stones.

He had already explained himself, but ridiculously, the Martial Academy Steward refused to believe him.

"Since you insist on giving them to me, I’ll accept," Long Chen said with a cold laugh as he put away the Storage Bag.

However, just as Long Chen was about to leave, a gray-robed elder suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

The gray-robed elder gestured. "Since you claim to have refined the 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones that disappeared, then prove it."

Long Chen had no reason to refuse. He cupped his fist and asked, "If I prove it, will I still need to compensate you for the Spirit Stones?"

"You really think you have that kind of ability? If I were you, I’d take the Spirit Stones and get lost!" the Martial Academy Steward scoffed.

Although the gray-robed elder also found it hard to believe, he still insisted, "If what you say is true, you won’t need to provide compensation. But if you’re spouting nonsense and trying to make a fool of me, I’ll make sure you suffer for it!"

"Kid, the elder is giving you a chance! Don’t push your luck! Take the Spirit Stones and scram while you can!" the Martial Academy Steward said disdainfully. "I can’t tell if you’re genuinely stupid or just acting like it, turning down free Spirit Stones just to boast and cause trouble! If you can really refine 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones in one Shichen, I’ll give you another 150,000! But if you fail, you’ll have to find a way to pay me 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones!"

Long Chen shot him an indifferent glance, then took the Storage Bag and walked straight toward the Training Room.

The chance to refine another 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones, and get to use the Training Room again, was an offer he was more than happy to accept.

This is the perfect opportunity to raise my Earth-Level Physique to a Heaven-Level Physique! Long Chen thought to himself.

"He actually dared to prove it?" the Martial Academy Steward muttered, taken aback.

The gray-robed elder stroked his beard, watching Long Chen with a surprised expression.

"Wang Tong, you are a Martial Academy Steward, but even with the Junior Institute Master’s backing, you cannot be so presumptuous," the gray-robed elder said.

Wang Tong didn’t take the warning to heart, but he still bowed respectfully. "Yes, Elder Huang!"

Just then, another elder in a gray robe slowly approached from a distance.

"Elder Huang, that boy recently purchased the Blackwind Sword from me."

The newcomer was none other than Elder Lu of the Hundred Arms Room (Baibing Room).

"Oh? He chose the Blackwind Sword?" Elder Huang asked, startled.

Elder Lu nodded. "Ever since you took charge of the Training Room, it has been two years since we last saw each other, hasn’t it? And that’s despite us both being in the Martial Institute."

Elder Huang gave him a quizzical look. "Are you suddenly coming over to reminisce because of that boy who chose the Blackwind Sword? Heh. Don’t bother pleading his case. As the Great Elder of the Training Room, I can’t let some disciple make a fool of me."

"You misunderstand, Elder Huang," Elder Lu said slowly. "If he can’t prove his claim, you may deal with him as you see fit. I will simply take back the Blackwind Sword and will not protect him. But if he does prove what he said is true, I hope you will keep it a secret for him. After all, if word got out that someone could refine 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones in a single Shichen, it would surely bring him a fatal disaster."

Hearing this, Elder Huang narrowed his eyes. He glanced around and saw that there wasn’t another soul in sight.

It was clear that Elder Lu had already used some method to covertly disperse the onlookers.

"Perhaps the boy just happened to choose the Blackwind Sword. Why go to such lengths?" Elder Huang asked, stroking his beard as he glanced at Steward Wang Tong.

Elder Lu also glanced at Steward Wang Tong and replied meaningfully, "Regardless, everything depends on whether he can refine 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones in one Shichen. If he succeeds, I believe you, Elder Huang, will be just as willing as I am to protect him."

At that moment, Steward Wang Tong felt a chill run down his spine. The gazes from the two elders were horrifying.

Wang Tong’s throat bobbed nervously. "E-Elders, I-I’ll be taking my leave," he stammered, about to turn and flee.

"You made that bet with the boy on your own accord," Elder Huang said coolly. "How can you leave before it’s settled?"

Elder Lu suddenly smiled. "Why don’t you stay for a while?"

In that instant, Wang Tong’s heart plummeted to the depths of despair.

That damned Long Chen! Wang Tong cursed endlessly in his heart.
