Chapter 38: Blazing Flame Crystal Gold and Blazing Flame Dragon Egg!

"Boom!"

The massive body of the Magma Two-Headed Spirit Serpent finally collapsed powerlessly onto the ground, its crimson blood uncontrollably gushing out and merging into the molten lava below.

An extremely dense stream of Combat Energy flew out from the lava, absorbed by Fire Thunder and Swift Blade.

Under Zhou Luo's watchful gaze.

The experience bars of the two were rapidly filling up, breaking through to Level 30 without any hindrance, reaching the third-tier standard.

The refined Combat Energy coursed through their bodies, spreading to every part of their being.

Feeling the surge of power within them, both suddenly opened their eyes.

In their current state, they could knock their previous selves to the ground with a single punch, leaving them unable to get up.

No wonder the academy strictly prohibited third-tier and above experts from attacking students below the third tier.

Without reaching the third tier, one wouldn't understand the gap, but once there, the difference became painfully clear.

At the same time, a vast amount of memories surfaced in the minds of Fire Thunder and Swift Blade.

These were memories of an Ultimate Skill.

"Thunder Avatar!"

"Raging Wave Avatar!"

These were the avatar skills of Fire Thunder and Swift Blade, respectively.

Once activated, their combat power would increase tenfold, and their bodies would grow to eighty meters tall.

Only then would they truly have the capital to contend with Monstrous Beasts.

Had this Magma Two-Headed Spirit Serpent used its avatar skill from the start, Fire Thunder and Swift Blade wouldn't have had the chance to execute their combined attack.

Unfortunately, it was careless and didn't dodge.

After absorbing the Combat Energy, the two regained their composure, though their auras became increasingly profound and unfathomable.

Zhou Luo truly couldn't understand how those so-called geniuses could ever hope to catch up to his advancement speed.

"What are you standing around for? Come over here quickly, unless you don't want the Blood Demon Jade anymore?"

On the other side, Yue Lingling snapped out of her daze and stepped onto the rocks floating above the lava. With a few swift movements, she appeared on the opposite platform.

Looking back, she saw all the rocks suspended above the lava slowly sinking down.

Yue Lingling turned her head and stared intently at Fire Thunder's entire body.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Luo was baffled by this girl's behavior, unsure what she was up to now.

"Don't you have any restrictions when leveling up? When a Mecha levels up, the Mecha Master must also break through their constraints. Why haven't I seen any of that with you?"

Zhou Luo had entered the Secret Realm at Level 28, first killing the Mutated Yellow Sand Crocodile to break through to Level 29, and now he had slain the Magma Two-Headed Spirit Serpent while surpassing levels.

Breaking through an entire major tier without encountering any constraints was just too absurd.

It completely defied logic.

She remembered how she had nearly succumbed to inner demons when breaking through to the second tier, barely making it through in the end.

"You're overthinking it. It's just because I'm too much of a genius."

"After all, at the pinnacle of immortality, standing above the world, with Zhou Luo there is heaven. I am the end of the world, and all prodigies must bow before me, Zhou Luo!"

As he spoke, Fire Thunder extended his right hand, slowly clenching it into a fist.

Yue Lingling's eyelids twitched, her toes nearly curling in embarrassment. She had never realized Zhou Luo could be so chuunibyou.

She glanced inadvertently at Swift Blade.

Indeed, like Mecha Master, like Mecha. As for Fire Thunder?

That was an exception!

"Cough, cough~ That platform earlier was just where the Twin-Headed Lava Serpent rested. This is its actual nest."

Zhou Luo coughed twice to regain his composure.

He seemed to have gotten a bit sidetracked.

The two of them stepped into the spacious nest.

There was no foul odor inside—instead, there were many glittering crystals, though most were useless.

Soon, they found several goose-egg-sized top-grade Blood Demon Jades and dozens of high-quality ones.

"Top-grade! Top-grade!" Yue Lingling was overjoyed at the sight of the goose-egg-sized Blood Demon Jades.

"Indeed, they are top-grade." Zhou Luo's gaze lingered on Yue Lingling's figure.

Yue Lingling felt there was an underlying meaning to his words, her cheeks flushing slightly as she composed herself.

"This trip was only possible because of your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these top-grade Blood Demon Jades. I'll take just three top-grade pieces and half of the high-quality ones—the rest are yours."

"Blood Demon Jade not only allows one to experience the concepts of death, slaughter, Asura, and Rakshasa in advance but also tempers the killing intent of a Mecha Master's Destined Mecha," Yue Lingling explained to Zhou Luo.

"No regrets, then? The rest are all mine?" Zhou Luo confirmed.

"Don't worry. One top-grade Blood Demon Jade is enough for three months of use. Besides, more isn't always better—overuse makes them ineffective."

Yue Lingling smiled, her willow-leaf brows curving gracefully, her demeanor light and lively. Well-informed, she told Zhou Luo much about the uses of Blood Demon Jade—she truly didn't need so many.

With her talent, a single top-grade Blood Demon Jade would benefit her greatly.

"Here~ take this."

After speaking, Yue Lingling tossed him a dazzling purple prismatic crystal.

A Fusion Crystal!

"Thanks, gorgeous!"

Zhou Luo laughed heartily as he pocketed the Fusion Crystal, then swept all the Blood Demon Jades into his Spacetime Bracelet.

Leaving them here to grow further naturally didn't align with Zhou Luo's habit of plucking every feather from a goose. Better to claim everything for himself than leave opportunities for others.

"Let's go deeper. There might still be surprises ahead." In high spirits after obtaining the Fusion Crystal, Zhou Luo wore a faint smile.

Yue Lingling nodded obediently, following closely behind him.

At this point, she had been completely captivated by Zhou Luo.

Innate Dual Mecha!

Mecha-God Unification!

Combination Ultimate Skill!

Perfect Blade Intent, comprehensive spear momentum, infinitely close to conceptual mastery!

Third-tier strength!

Any one of these traits alone would mark someone as a genius, but for all of them to appear in a single person was unimaginable.

These were all things Yue Lingling desired, yet Zhou Luo possessed them all. She was utterly smitten, resolved in her heart to catch up to him no matter what.

They pressed onward.

With their retreat cut off, the two had no choice but to move forward, exiting the Bloodfiend Cave through other passages.

The surrounding temperature remained terrifyingly high.

"What's that?" Swift Blade stopped and pointed ahead.

The group looked—it appeared to be the shape of an egg.

Zhou Luo analyzed it again with his Battle King Glasses.

[Secret Realm Monstrous Beast: Blazing Flame Dragon (Unhatched)]

[Level: 30!]

"It's a Blazing Flame Dragon Egg!" Zhou Luo took a deep breath. A dragon egg—one with genuine draconic beast bloodline!

They hurried forward.

It seemed to be a hatching platform. Beneath the dragon egg was a square Blood Demon Jade slab measuring two meters long, flanked by three pieces of Blazing Flame Crystal Gold!

Holy hell!

This dragon egg actually uses the King of Blood Demon Jade as its bed and Blazing Flame Crystal Gold as nourishment.

No wonder it's already at the third tier before even hatching. If you were to hatch, how terrifying would that be?

Wouldn't the entire Crimson Secret Realm end up under your rule? Wouldn't the new students entering later just be walking to their deaths?

Zhou Luo's eyes turned cold.

In his mind, he had already imagined a hundred ways to kill this dragon egg.

"According to our agreement, everything else belongs to me."

Zhou Luo once again swept up all the remaining items without hesitation.

Yue Lingling was now filled with regret—this was a flood dragon egg, an incredibly nourishing treasure!

Suddenly, Yue Lingling raised an eyebrow and smirked slyly. "Brother Luo, what are you planning to do with this flood dragon egg?"
