89 Each with Their Own Plan
Xu Yuan understood Su Wan’s motive. He hadn’t intended to hide the information forever, anyway.
In the past, he was too lazy to tell her. He thought she might waste his time by demanding too many things. However, he now had a more efficient way to gain experience. He no longer relied on sleeping to gain experience points.
He was willing to reveal a little of his ability to gain her trust. “No problem!”
His answer was straightforward. He didn’t even hesitate. Su Wan knew that her guess had been correct!
‘Scammer Xu really has a powerful ability!’ she thought.
Su Wan was a bit concerned about his offer of a buff to let her kill the Beastmen Tribe. However, she was excited to know what kind of buff it would be.
Xu Yuan had already applied the ability to her: the Demon Dragon Symbiosis.
Under the Demon Dragon Symbiosis effect, Su Wan could transform into a creature that was half-human and half-dragon. Her attributes increased greatly, too.
Xu Yuan hadn’t really lied to Su Wan. It was indeed a sort of buff that he had already applied to her. It was just that she had never doubted that it was him behind her transformation.
Su Wan summoned the Golden Behemoth from the Dimensional Portal. With her current resources, she could create almost ten Golden Behemoths.
As for the Black Gold Behemoths, Su Wan didn’t even think about it. The resources required to create one would be too much. The difference between Golden Behemoth and Black Gold Behemoth was huge.
Su Wan’s current plan was very simple. She wanted to create a few Golden Behemoths and then would ask Xu Yuan to strengthen them into Black Gold Behemoths. That way, she could have Black Gold Behemoths for free!
‘I tricked Xu Yuan, and he doesn’t even know it!’ thought Su Wan happily. Little did she know that Xu Yuan was also scheming against her.
“Scammer Xu, hurry and strengthen them,” said Su Wan. “Watch me lead the Black Gold Behemoths to destroy those Beastmen Tribe!”
Su Wan was bold, just like a general leading her army.
Xu Yuan didn’t fail her. He applied the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing and transformed the Golden Behemoths into Black Gold Behemoths.
The Golden Behemoths were encased in black flames. They gradually changed into Black Gold Behemoths. Su Wan was euphoric. She had been right all along!
The strange transformation of her troops was because of Xu Yuan!
‘Scammer Xu, you can hide it all you want. I still discovered it!’ thought Su Wan.
With the Black Gold Behemoth and the buff from Xu Yuan, she was ecstatic.
“Let’s go!” Su Wan led the Black Gold Behemoths and Xu Yuan. She had forgotten all about the other contestants.
Xu Yuan had already given a secret order to the Black Gold Behemoths. He instructed them to pretend to fight the Beastmen. But he ordered them to let Su Wan defeat them by herself. Otherwise, the Beastmen would fall one by one at their hands and Xu Yuan wouldn’t be able to enjoy the experience points.
Xu Yuan rejoiced in his heart. They arrived near the Beastmen Tribe area.
Su Wan discovered that something was odd. “There’s someone there! Hide!”
She noticed someone at the front. She crouched down among the long grass.
“Wait… why do they look familiar?” At first, Xu Yuan didn’t care about who it was. However, he was surprised to see a familiar face. “Isn’t that the troublemaker?”
A young woman was running towards them. It was really Shi Linglong!
“Why is she here?” asked Su Wan. She felt numb.
The grassland was far from the territories of the Lords. Without the Dimensional Portal, it would take them months and years to reach this place by walking. Su Wan had used the Dimensional Portal created by the academy to get here.
‘How did Shi Linglong get here?’ thought Su Wan. ‘Don’t tell me the troublemaker came here specifically to create trouble!’
Su Wan looked at Shi Linglong’s sorry figure as she fled. She guessed that something might have happened to Shi Linglong again!
It had been a few days since the incident where Shi Linglong was pursued by Ling Yun and Oscar. It was no longer strange for the enemy to notice Shi Linglong and hunt her.
“Linglong, this way!” Su Wan waved at Shi Linglong.
When Shi Linglong heard Su Wan’s voice, her mouth opened wide in surprise. She couldn’t believe Su Wan was here to help her again!
“Wanwan?!” she said. “Is this an illusion? Why are you here?” Shi Linglong ran to Su Wan, breathing roughly.
Su Wan looked at Shi Linglong’s miserable state, and her heart ached. Shi Linglong was the youngest in their group of friends. They all treated her like their little sister. Seeing her like this made Su Wan feel very sad.
“I should be asking you that,” said Su Wan. “Why are you here? This is supposed to be the venue for the mock tournament.”
Shi Linglong looked at Su Wan in shock. “I was kidnapped. Those bastards brought me here!”
After a while, Shi Linglong calmed herself. She told Su Wan everything that had happened. Everything was related to the Dark Screen that was still hunting them.
Xu Yuan had shattered the bracelets of the two members of the Dark Screen, Ling Yun and Oscar. The moment the bracelets had shattered, it had assumed that they were dead. So, the fragments had turned into dust and marked Shi Linglong from among the others present.
Shi Linglong was on the Hit List of the Dark Screen.
When Su Wan and Xu Yuan had gone to participate in the mock tournament, Shi Linglong had encountered the enemy.
