98 The Secret Blessing from Xu Yuan
Everyone looked at Chen Ye in shock. They did not expect him to have such a trick up his sleeve.
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, the Everchanging Monster, that had turned into a Tree-man, felt discouraged.
It shrunk and changed back into a Red Mist Slime.
“The time limit for it to keep up appearances is short.” Chen Ye looked dejected. He had been so pleased with himself that he had forgotten about the time limit. “It’s not a very reliable creature.”
Chen Ye had wanted to appear cool. However, he hadn’t expected that his plan would fall flat so fast. Chen Ye told them the truth.
“It’s a defective creature among other Everchanging Monsters,” said Chen Ye. “There are sometimes defectives born because of something that might have gone wrong in their evolution. It has the same ability, but also has many limitations.”
From Chen Ye’s description, everyone understood the nature of the Everchanging Monsters. This particular shape-shifting slime was a defective piece. If one was lucky, it could transform into the enemy for about ten minutes. If not, it would revert to its original form.
Chen Ye had thought that his luck wouldn’t run out so fast, so he had brought out the Everchanging Monster to show off a little. But the creature and its limitations were exposed in an instant!
“We can still try to sow discord among the others using this creature,” said Chen Ye.
Even if the slime had its limitation., it could still be used to drive a wedge between the other contestants and make them fight each other. It was a very good plan!
Just as everyone looked at the slime and lamented its disability, black flames erupted and covered the slime. It started to mutate!
“What’s happening?” asked Chen Ye.
When he saw the slime encased in black flames, he was anxious. Granted that it was defective, it was still very important to him. If it was destroyed, Chen Ye would be heartbroken!
But Chen Ye saw that the slime was alright in the middle of the flames. It did not seem to be burning to death. The flames did not cause them harm.
“What’s happening?”
Everyone was puzzled. They thought that this was the work of an enemy who was lurking in the shadows.
However, it seemed that things were not that simple. Su Wan stole a glance at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan looked sheepishly back at her as if saying that it had nothing to do with him. Su Wan was now certain that Xu Yuan had done this.
She remembered that this happened whenever the Skeleton Soldiers transformed. It was Xu Yuan who did it! He must be secretly making a move.
Su Wan didn’t expose him. She chuckled internally. She quietly walked to Xu Yuan’s side. Her look implied that she already knew about his little trick.
Xu Yuan didn’t care at all. Ever since he had enhanced the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, the limitations had been reduced. He could not only strengthen Su Wan’s troops, but also others.
The current transformation of the Red Mist Slime was just a small experiment for Xu Yuan. When he used the effect on the Everchanging Monster, the result was miraculous!
When Xu Yuan applied the ability, the Everchanging Monster shed its limitation. It had evolved into a true Everchanging Monster.
“How is this possible?” Chen Ye was surprised.
The black flames that appeared around the Everchanging Monster flickered.
“Chen Ye, I don’t know what happened,” said one of the Overlords. “But it’s not defective anymore! It might be useful!”
Chen Ye nodded. Everyone discussed how to make good use of the Everchanging Monster to make the other Lords fight among themselves.
After various suggestions, everyone turned to look at Su Wan. She was their captain, after all.
Moreover, Su Wan and Shi Linglong destroyed the entire Beastmen Tribe in the mock tournament. Their mock tournament had ended the moment it had started.
Su Wan didn’t say anything. She glanced at Xu Yuan. “What do you think, Scammer Xu?”
He had strengthened the Everchanging Monster, so he definitely had a plan in his mind. Su Wan knew by now that Xu Yuan never did anything without a reason.
However, it seemed Su Wan had wasted her breath. Xu Yuan didn’t have a plan at all. He had just wanted to see how the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing would work on other troops. That was all.
When Su Wan asked Xu Yuan, the other Lords also turned to him. By this time, they were familiar with his presence.
“Eh? Why does that hero look familiar?”
“It’s the hero who tricked Captain Su Wan!”
Everyone recalled the incident. When Su Wan struggled to fight with another competitor in the selection contest, her hero slept peacefully in a corner. Everyone remembered that moment.
However, they noticed that Xu Yuan looked different from before. He was bigger. He even had dragon wings and horns now.
The other Lords hadn’t recognized him at first. When Su Wan asked Xu Yuan a question, they noticed him only then.
Everyone gradually remembered the selection contest. “It is no wonder Captain Su Wan calls him Scammer Xu!”
The White Dragon Saint was displeased. He couldn’t watch the puny humans underestimating his master.
He snorted and was about to take an action when Xu Yuan’s claw struck out and smacked him. If he hadn’t done that, the White Dragon Saint might have wiped out the Lords. Xu Yuan had prevented a tragedy from happening.
Of course, not everyone could not sense the danger.
The Blood Dominator glanced at the White Dragon Saint in terror. Seeing the White Dragon Saint being so obedient in front of Xu Yuan, he was even more scared of Xu Yuan.
