CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 341: THE FIRE KING

"Sister Yue, how many dishes are needed to exchange for this meteorite?"

Chen Mo asked impassively.

"12 dishes."

The beautiful lady Cang Yue quoted.

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Alright, then 10 servings of epic high-level cuisine, the sushi kind we had before."

Cang Yue spoke.

This meteorite had been in the treasure vault for quite some time now.

Within the confines of Jizhou, stellar Spiritual Beasts rarely appeared. This meteorite, aside from harboring immense Star Energy, had no other effects; it was just lying there, so it might as well be exchanged for some culinary delights that could enhance a Spiritual Beast’s potential.

"How about 8 servings? That sounds more auspicious."

"Deal."

The beautiful woman nodded, looking at Chen Mo with an expression that said "you’re getting the better end of this deal."

"This meteorite is not of the Spirit Realm; perhaps it has an extraordinary origin. When it first fell, it was a resource of Mythical Level 9."

"After the long passage of time, the energy it contained leaked away, causing it to fall to Legendary Level 6."

Chen Mo was also somewhat astonished.

He hadn’t expected that such a huge amount of Star Energy would still be contained within the meteorite, and that this was the result after a downgrade...

"Woo—"

The Star Sea too was utterly excited and thrilled upon receiving the meteorite.

Ultimately, after selecting two more pieces of legendary high-level resources, Chen Mo left the treasure pagoda, completely satisfied.

These two legendary resources were the Other Shore Flower and the Molten Lava Heart.

The Other Shore Flower is a spiritual material required for the fifth ascension of the Undead Ascension Technique.

The Molten Lava Heart is a kind of fire elemental core from deep underground, flowing out together with lava after the eruption of a volcano deep within the Heavenly River.

Legendary Level 6 resources can enhance the level of flames for a Fire Element Spirit Beast. Even Mythical Fire could be elevated.

Xiao Jiu could use it just in time for a significant upgrade before the battle.

--------------

The next morning, at Canglan Arena.

Although the competition hadn’t started yet, the arena was already abuzz with noise.

Spirit Masters in various attires and an assortment of unique Spiritual Beasts could hardly wait any longer.

Today, the Canglan Grand Ceremony Monarch Level finals would take place here.

After a long wait, the competitors finally took to the arena.

Cang Lan, dressed in an old-fashioned white dress, was beside her as water surged, and a humanoid Spiritual Beast emerged slowly from it.

The Lake Immortal was over 2 meters tall, with lake-blue hair down to her waist, wearing a necklace shaped like a droplet of water, surrounded by layers of water forming a magnificent battle skirt, looking like a noble female war deity.

It, like Bing Lan, was also a Spirit of Nature, a Spiritual Beast with Water, Nature, and Spirit elements, and all three types of attributes had reached Monarch Ninth Rank.

Xiao Jiu’s gaze became somewhat solemn.

This could be said to be the strongest opponent it had faced within the same rank!

"Master Chen Mo, shall we make a bet before the match?"

Cang Lan smiled slightly, the temperament of her voice gentle, as if she were a lady from the ancient south.

"What bet?"

"If we win this battle, can your Food Spirit make us a meal? Just ordinary cuisine will do."

Cang Lan spoke softly.

These past two days, she was still savoring the taste of the Spiritual Algae Dumplings she had tried.

Damn it, how on earth did he make such delicious food!

She really wanted to catch him, lock him in a dark room, and have him cook tasty food for her every day!

Cang Lan thought evilly in her heart but maintained a dignified expression on her face.

"And if you lose?"

"Your choice!"

Cang Lan blurted out, then as if she thought of something, her face slightly reddened:

"As long as it’s not too excessive."

Cang Lan could not imagine how she could lose.

Chen Mo’s few Spiritual Beasts were indeed strong, especially the Hanhai Dragon Whale with its terrifying defensive power, but there was still a gap compared to her own Lake Immortal.

years ago, when Lake Immortal was only a single-element Monarch Eighth Rank, it overpowered other Spiritual Beasts to win the championship.

And now, it’s at tri-element Monarch Ninth Rank!

In private, Cang Lan had tested the limits of her own Spiritual Beast.

Even an Overlord Third Rank Spiritual Beast was no match for it!

"If you lose, just give me a piece of Legendary Resource."

Chen Mo said casually.

He was very confident in Jiu Bao.

It was true that Xiao Jiu’s Nine-layered Heavenly Fire hadn’t been mastered before, but now...

"Okay! No backing out!"

"Jiu Bao, go!"

"Woo~"

The Wish-making White Fox stepped forward, its silvery white fur dancing in the wind, its eyes calm and undisturbed.

"Actually sending out the Blazing Flame Fox!"

Seeing that it was not the Hanhai Dragon Whale, but that handsome little fox taking the field, Cang Lan was taken aback.

Because based on the previous performances, the Hanhai Dragon Whale seemed obviously stronger, and the "Blazing Flame Fox’s" fire element was countered by the Lake Immortal.

Are you trying to be a reverse elemental master?

On the field, the two Spiritual Beasts gazed at each other from afar and began their standoff.

"The match begins!"

As the referee’s voice faded, the Lake Immortal just started to mobilize its Water-element Spiritual Power to make a move when it saw a shadow speeding towards itself, as fast as lightning!

No!

To be precise, that was lightning!

Zap!

A bright purple-black lightning flashed by, striking the "Lake Immortal."

In an instant, electric sparks flickered.

At the same moment, the figure rushing towards the "Lake Immortal" also detonated! The powerful current penetrated the ground within dozens of meters, turning the Canglan Arena’s ground to scorched black!

From the spectator’s view, the instant the match began, the "Blazing Flame Fox" on the field suddenly split into two, one of which remained in place, its tails ablaze with two kinds of Mythical Fire, commencing fusion.
