Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-868

Lin Yuan knew clearly that he had been able to win first place in the Arts Stage component because of luck. He could have come in last place if he had chosen any other topic.

Lin Yuan could not help but be happy when such genuine friends surrounded him.

After Long Tao congratulated Lin Yuan, he looked at Zong Ze and frowned.

He turned to say to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, how well do you understand Zong Ze's powers?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. He was completely clueless about Zong Ze powers.

However, he was not worried about this because he would be able to use True Data during the fight with Zong Ze to check on Zong Ze's feys and completely understand everything about those feys.

Although Zong Ze was a Creation Master and could also check on Lin Yuan's feys, Lin Yuan had no intention of summoning his feys during the Martial Stage component.

Thus, Zong Ze's Creation Master abilities would be rendered useless during the battle.

Since he was one fight away from becoming the champion of the Martial Arts Stage and his opponent was Zong Ze, Lin Yuan felt that it was time to use the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.

Now that he knew that Lin Yuan did not know about Zong Ze's powers, Long Tao thought back to the time in Radiance Sacred Hall when he had fought against Zong Ze and said with a grim expression, "Zong Ze has mostly contracted fire-type feys and uses brute strength. Most importantly, you'll have to watch out for his sudden explosive power."

Long Tao did not elaborate any further because the fight in Radiance Sacred Hall had been secret and because some time had passed since Long Tao and Zong Ze fought.

Zong Ze's power had definitely increased significantly.

Long Tao was afraid of giving Lin Yuan a misconception of Zong Ze's powers if he told Lin Yuan about their previous fight.

If that happened, Long Tao could become the reason for Lin Yuan's defeat.

Hence, Long Tao only gave Lin Yuan a general description and advice.

Long Tao had nearly been burned to ashes by that flood of ferocious fire.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard what Long Tao said.

It was great news for Lin Yuan if Zong Ze mainly used fire-type feys.

Due to the laws in the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt, Lin Yuan had gained resistance to various elements. He was most resistant against dark-type and second-most resistant against fire-type.

There was the Icy Flames Law that the Gild Flames Dragon Lice had comprehended. The Law Crystal fragments had been supplied by Duan He when he first joined Sky City.

Although the Gilt Flames Dragon Lice's Law Crystal had not been complete, it was about 70 or 80% complete.

The unlucky Gilt Flames Dragon Lice had to have been killed by the Thunderwave Sky Chaos Snail and Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake. Otherwise, its Law Crystal would have remained so complete.

Hence, Lin Yuan had an advantage in the fight against Zong Ze.

If Zong Ze's feys were not of the same type as the laws that were carved on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt, Lin Yuan would have to be very careful when he used Spirit Essence Explosion even if he used all the combat skills and fighting abilities that had been recorded in the Radiance Federation.

During such close combat, it would not be feasible to use the Ethereal Jellyfish's Spatial Shift to shift a space full of spatial energy to another dimension.

The Ethereal Jellyfish's Spatial Shift would be better suited to shifting a large explosive attack.

Lin Yuan would not be able to afford to flippantly use up so much spiritual power for a one-time usage of Spatial Shift.

Now that he understood Zong Ze's fey types, Lin Yuan felt a sense of assurance.

"Big Brother Long, I will be careful."

When Long Tao looked into Lin Yuan's eyes, he saw no panic but rather resolute confidence.

Long Tao knew that Lin Yuan's powers were beyond his imagination, and he could not help but look forward to the battle between Zong Ze and Lin Yuan.

Zong Ze walked over to Gu Lang, and his gaze drifted over to Lin Yuan.

Gu Lang asked with a mock smile, "What's wrong? Has your confidence taken a hit? Are you—"

Gu Lang stopped speaking because he noticed that Zong Ze did not look disappointed, rather exhilarated.

There was also a faint spark of passion in his eyes.

"Big Brother Gu Lang, I met someone who can curb my obsession for fighting today."

Gu Lang was completely confused.

Zong Ze's bad luck from his curse was a secret that never left the walls of Kitchen Fragrance Palace.

After Chef Supreme had realized that he could not remove Zong Ze's bad luck, he did not seek help from the Bamboo Monarch and the Moon Empress.

Thus, Gu Lang had no clue why Zong Ze was such a fanatic about battling.

Zong Ze grabbed Gu Lang and said, "Let's go. We should introduce ourselves to him."

Before Gu Lang could react, he was already being pulled by Zong Ze over to where Lin Yuan was.

Even after he regained his senses, Gu Lang did not wrench his arm free of Zong Ze's grip. He felt that it was normal to introduce himself.

It was necessary for him to get to know the Moon Empress and Chief Guard Ye's disciple as they would be interacting a fair amount in the future.

However, Gu Lang did not understand why the cold Zong Ze would take the initiative to introduce himself.

Could it be that Zong Ze felt a sense of camaraderie with the Moon Empress' disciple after the Arts Stage component?

Zong Ze pulled Gu Lang over to Lin Yuan and saw Gao Feng with his hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Zong Ze felt the eyes of everyone in Lin Yuan's group on him, and he said, "My name is Zong Ze."

Zong Ze strode forward and inserted himself between Gao Feng and Lin Yuan.

Gao Feng moved aside and assumed that Zong Ze and Lin Yuan were already acquainted.

The content Zong Ze started sniffing and realized that the fragrance that could suppress his bad luck was not present.
