4 hours before it can replenish its scorching sun crystals ]

[ Ability: ??? (unactivated) ]

[ Description: This is a precious object treasured by the Scorpion King. Although the berserking, long range expert Scorpion King wouldn’t use such a gutless tool like a s.h.i.+eld, the atrocious Scorpion King holds reverence for the grand Pharaoh Welkhahor. This is why the ‘Pharaoh Welkhahor’s Grasp’ has been maintained so well until now. If your efforts can awaken the slumbering pernicious spirit of this s.h.i.+eld, you will be able to tap on its true strength! ]

Sheyan leaned against the chair while leisurely speaking.

"Isn’t it just a dark-gold grade s.h.i.+eld? There’s nothing to brag about a dark-gold grade equipment. Wasn’t there someone else who wanted to exchange a dark-gold accessory for both chance of the divine stone?"

Listening to his words, Demondream instantly scoffed.

"You can carry on dreaming...."

She originally wanted to mock further but immediately zipped her mouth, because she could see a dark-gold glimmer within the gaps of Sheyan’s clenched fist!

Zi coldly refuted.

"I heard Reef’s previous party experienced a terribly intense battle in the Matrix world. There should’ve been a large possibility you acquired that dark-gold grade equipment. Seaman, aren’t you trying to scare us by producing Reef’s possession?"

Sheyan chortled gently and flicked against his neck in response.

"This is Reef’s dark-gold equipment. I know you’d think I’m bragging, but that is because you don’t understand me well."

While speaking, Sheyan then exhibited out the object in his fist. Indeed, it was similarly a dark-gold grade accessory!

The ‘+6 Chieftain’s Hobby’!

Demondream turned incomparably excited and involuntarily voiced out upon seeing that item.

"Sire! Yuan Zhan will be able to recover his prowess with it, no, he could even become stronger than before..."

Speaking till here, Demondream immediately clutched her mouth. However by then, Reef and Mogensha already revealed enlightened expressions.

Zi glared at Demondream with dissatisfaction and continued her negotiations.

"Do you wish to sell that accessory?"

Sheyan squinted his eyes and replied.

"Last I recalled, we were still discussing the topic about the divine stone eh? Let’s conclude that first before moving to others. I think we are all clear on this, although the value of a dark-gold grade equipment is exorbitant, an evolvable ability like ‘Flesh Explosion’ is absolutely valiant. If you can learn it, it would surely be worth the value of a dark-grade equipment."

"Hold up lady Demondream, interrupting someone is a rather impolite conduct. If you have objections to what I’m saying, then our conversation can end here. I wouldn’t mind heading to the marketplace…...an ability that can evolve to the ‘S’ rank and a dark-gold grade accessory, I’m sure it will attract mult.i.tudes of patrons."

Zi abruptly scoffed indifferently.

"Of course you can do that, but aren’t you not afraid you’d accidentally sell it to your foes? Being eliminated by the enemy with your own equipment or ability, wouldn’t that be awfully pathetic?"

Sheyan’s lips curled up and opposed with equal harshness.

"Oh, true that. Back in the Avatar world, we were almost stalled by a group of individuals."

Zi very calmly continued.

"At least, the majority of our time in there was with a rather pleasant cooperation."

Sheyan stared into her eyes and earnestly urged.

"If the Illume-union wishes to obtain this ‘Flesh Explosion’ ability, then show us your sincerity. I thought I possessed an amicable relations with them, yet cruel reality showed up and lectured me severely. Oh how my heart ached that time."

Zi straightened her posture and replied.

"We shan’t talk about the past, or do I have to factor in that debt from the caribbean sea world? I won’t deny that ‘Flesh Explosion’ is truly a powerful ability, but your divine rock only offers a fixed probability of allowing one to learn this evolving ability! It isn’t guaranteed, and that is where the worth of a dark-gold s.h.i.+eld surmounts your divine stone. If you are willing to add in that accessory, our Illume-union can throw in two additional conditions."

Sheyan replied indifferently.

"What conditions?"

Zi pondered and answered.

"Reef should still be stuck at the final barrier to become an official Growth-hunter right? We can supply a.s.sistance and allow him to successfully transcend to that realm."

Sheyan glanced at Reef. Reef shrugged his shoulders and revealed a cheeky intent. Sheyan obviously knew Reef had utilized that item, otherwise it would’ve been impossible to obtain a max evaluation for their hidden mission.

Sheyan then chuckled and asked.

"How about the second condition?"

"In your next world, the Illume-union will shelter and block off the Metals Professor’s pursuit for you." Zi continued.

"I can restrain Zeus. With me around, Zeus will never act. This will increase your chances of survival substantially."

At this moment, Brother Black and Reef both issued into the party channel simultaneously.

"Boss, I feel that’s fine. If what Zi says is true, then her suppression of Zeus will really offer to us an immense victorious possibility."

Sheyan contemplated a little before adding a question he already knew the answer to.

"Firstly, how will the Metals Professor chase us in the next world? Secondly, who is Zeus? I heard he’s a rather formidable figure?"

Mogensha replied Sheyan through the party channel.

"Do you still remember the Banks Syndicate ambus.h.i.+ng the Symbiosis Sect? Then, they were able to orientate our position and create a shuttling transport black hole. Right now, I bet the Metals Professor can do that too. Moreover, a disastrous scenario can happen, that is to first locate the world we are entering, and then entering themselves. I heard a foreseeing type spirit expert contestant can possess such an ability. Of course, they will definitely have to fork out tremendous price, and minimally requires an advanced 7 days to activate it!"

Instead, Demondream introduced Zeus with a single world.

"Prince Stalo was defeated by Zeus, and he hasn’t won a single time."

The trio couldn’t help but commence a series of private discussions. Although they could conceal these discussions without the need to whisper, it couldn’t escape Demondream and Zi’s eyesight.

Both of them glanced and each other, feeling that a deal was at hand.

Eventually, Sheyan unexpectedly shook his head and offered an inevitable but upright expression to Zi.

"I refuse."
