Chapter 765 - 765: The Bet

"... You don't need to be disappointed. So what if you can't use it in the real world. You can use it here and grow stronger. Isn't it better to be as strong as you can be to finish the Trial faster? No need to be disappointed," Xun said as she saw Long Chen looking disappointed.

After a deep sigh, Long Chen nodded his head.

" That's right. I did need strength for what's to come next. Vermilion is going to be strong, and I'll have to face the entire Dragon Squad too. I'll be facing the two kingdoms in a way. I do need strength," He muttered as he started thinking optimistically.

"It's good that you knew about it, though. Such an incredible cultivation resource, I would never have recognized it after seeing how it looked. Do you recognize anything else that can be helpful?" He asked Xun.

"I don't recognize anything else, but they must all be things of significant value. It's not that you need these things, though. To finish the trial, you'll need to become the King, and once you're the King, will you really lack the treasures? The only thing this world has left that can be useful to you if the Law Orb, but its location is still unknown. Maybe we'll find it the next second, or we'll never find it. Whatever it is, this thing is really interesting," Xun replied to Long Chen.

"True. The weapons and everything else is useless. As for defense, I don't think anything here can compare to the Saint Grade Phoenix Blood Robe. I still need something to wake up my War Spirit, though. A treasure here might be useful," Long Chen muttered as he sighed.

"I need help. I'll see if there's anyone alive in this place," Long Chen muttered as he left the room.

He went through the Auction Hall trying to see if someone was left on higher floors, and he did find people. In fact, he found a lot of people. There are no guards here, though. Apparently, all the guards were killed by him. As for the people, they were hiding here.

"Which one of you knows most about the treasures here? Answer, or you'll all die!" Long Chen thundered in an effort to scare the people to come out on their own.

Everyone unanimously started looking towards one of the white-haired old men sitting in the back.

Holding the man by his neck, Long Chen brought him to the treasure hall.

"Tell me about everyone here and what it can do!" Commanded Long Chen in a stern tone as he threw the man on the ground in front of the treasures.

"Y-yes," the man stood up slowly, agreeing to Long Chen with a feared look.

"This is the Goliath Ring. It can make a Barrier in front of you at the cost of half your Qi if you're a Cultivator. If you're not a Cultivator, you'll need Qi crystals to activate it," the man raised the first item, which was a ring. He started talking about the ring and where a person could find the Qi Crystals to power the ring here.

"Too much Qi consumption for a simple defense. Also, it's a one-time use item. It's useless," Long Chen muttered as he shook his head.

The old man moved over to the second item, which was a sword.

"Skip the weapons. I don't need to know about them. In fact, skip all the artifacts. Tell me about the other things," Long Chen said before the white-haired man could start talking about the ring.

The man started talking about the other artifacts. Soon, he was finished with talking about all the artifacts. Unfortunately, after hearing about them, Long Chen found all the treasures to be useless. He didn't find anything that could help him the way he needed. There was nothing to improve his Cultivators other than the single Qi Enhancement Fruit that he found with the help of Xun at the start.

There was nothing to help Awaken his War Spirit either.

With disappointment clear on his face
