Chapter 1063: Burn Your Hand, Feel the Heat
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
"She said you took her spoils. What was that?" Blood Devil was surprised. "Those gossamers of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish you had absorbed?"
Listening to Blood Devil, Shi Yan frowned. He needed to check his soul altar.
He didn't know how magical the soul gossamers of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish were. The Ring Spirit didn't explain it to him clearly. Yu Shan didn't say whether the benefit she wanted was the soul gossamers from the Departed Spirit Jellyfish or not.
Checking his soul altar, he found black threads gathering in his host soul.
His host soul now had an incredible feeling. He could feel a part of his soul had been sent to the gossamers and blended with them.
Shi Yan slightly changed his visage and tried to contact the Ring Spirit to make his situation clear.
The Ring Spirit didn't answer him.
It seemed to appear only when he was in a fatal danger or something very crucial that made the Ring Spirit feel tense. Usually, it would stay dormant and not release any beam of soul energy.
Cursing under his breath, Shi Yan put his mind in his host soul and observed.
Shortly after, the fine, black gossamers had gathered and condensed into a black bead that hovered in his host soul. This bead was as big as his fingertip, but it had a subtle soul energy fluctuation. Shi Yan didn't know its functions, anyway.
His thoughts flickered and the bead in his soul emerged in his palm. Shi Yan had a feeling that this bead was somehow interlinked with his soul. The bead that was as black as ink fell on his palm. At first glance, it looked dull and ordinary. It wasn't crystal clear or beautiful.
He pinched the bead and wiggled his wrist in front of Blood Devil. "The gossamers of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish have condensed into this thing. Do you know it?"
Blood Devil, Bath, and Gu Te were the three Incipient God Realm experts. They all stepped forward to observe the bead. After a while, they all shook their heads.
Feng Yan, Fu Wei, Xia Xin Yan, and McGee were the ones who had a good relationship with Shi Yan. They all came to see. They observed the bead but none of them could guess the profile or know what that bead could do.
"Maybe it's a soul class material to refine divine weapons." Fu Wei contemplated for a while and then said, "This bead has subtle energy fluctuations. Some rare soul class Original Incipient Grade materials have this feature. However, I'm just guessing. I'm not sure if it's true."
Listening to Fu Wei, they all nodded as they thought that it was logical.
Shi Yan grinned. He didn't say anything. His thoughts flickered and the bead disappeared. It reappeared in the host soul. Shi Yan could hide this bead in his soul and it seemed to have some magical connection with his soul.
"It's over now... Although something unexpected happened, the result was satisfactory." Blood Devil pondered for a while and then pitched his voice, "We've confirmed that the Dark Shadow Clan has some plan with the God Clan to invade Agate Star Area. Today, this space passage has been sealed for the second time. Within a short period, our Agate Star Area will be safe. It's time to deal with the betrayers."
Fu Wei and Zha Duo darkened their faces.
Everybody else looked at the two of them.
"Our Potion and Tool Pavilion will treat the Great Elder with what he deserves. We will give you an answer," hissed Zha Duo.
"I know that Potion and Tool Pavilion's Elder Conference is around the corner, right?" Feng Yan smiled. "I'm going with you guys. I'm willing to be a witness. We will prove the Dark Shadow Clan's conspiracy. If we go now, I think we can be there on time. Of course, we have to speed up."
"We'll come back immediately!" Fu Wei said resolutely.
The Potion and Tool Pavilion's Elder Conference would determine the future of Potion and Tool Pavilion. Even the Pavilion Master's selection would depend on this conference. It was a critical event of Potion and Tool Pavilion.
As Zhad Duo and Fu Wei were elders of Potion and Tool Pavilion and had been confined for a long time in this space passage, they were always worried as if they had a flame burn their hearts. As the situation was settled today, they didn't need to press it down anymore. They wanted to leave immediately.
Great Elder Zuo Lou of Potion and Tool Pavilion was one of the ringleaders of Agate Star Area's invasion this time. This man had had an agreement with the God Clan to support the Dark Shadow Clan to invade Agate Star Area. If this man stood still, people would never ease their minds.
Thus, seeing Zha Duo and Fu Wei hurry to leave, nobody held them back. They wished that those two could handle Zuo Lou as soon as possible.
As Feng Yan and Bettina had a close relationship, she could represent the Fighting League to clarify the relationship between the Dark Shadow Clan and God Clan. She could help Zha Duo and Fu Wei deal with the Great Elder. She spoke to Xia Xin Yan and left with Zha Duo and Fu Wei.
This time, they didn't choose the route where the shooting star was wreaking havoc to return. Without the threat of the Dark Shadow Clan, they used the regular path to come back.
"Little girl, I, by the name of the Chief of the Evil Dragon Tribe, invite you to be the trainer for our troops. Just name whatever condition you want!" Suddenly, Bath asked solemnly and looked straight at Leona.
The others were bewildered. However, they reacted timely and their eyes brightened.
"Come to our Brutal Dragon Tribe! What Bath can offer you, I can too!" Gu Te approached immediately and offered honestly.
"Our Fighting League also invites you to join us." Xia Xin Yan smiled, gliding forward. She said gently, "Jie-jie, you are so powerful. I must follow you to learn a lot of good tactics. Please don't hesitate."
Blood Devil had a strange look. He just grinned and didn't join this commotion. Instead, he looked at Shi Yan.
After this battle, everybody had seen Leona's value. She could increase the Monster Clan and Demon Clan's fighting competence several times in just a blink of an eye. If she could train their corps for a while, how strong would they become?
The leaders who knew how to direct guild combat were the rarest resources in this world. As Bath and Gu Te knew the value of this kind of warrior, they didn't hesitate to offer big benefits.
Everybody then looked at Leona. The woman with a ferocious, ugly face had become the focus. She was the most-welcomed warrior who everybody wanted to have her in their force.
She frowned and didn't say a word. Instead, she looked at Shi Yan.
Everybody was bewildered. Gradually, they found something as they looked at what she was looking.
Bath, Gu Te, and Xia Xin Yan smiled and approached Shi Yan.
"Kid, when I heard you were in trouble in Shadow Ghostly Prison, I hurried to get my ass here. See, I care about you a lot! You and McGee are good friends too. Come to our Evil Dragon Tribe, okay?" Bath invited.
"Ghost Hunter has joined our Brutal Dragon Tribe. Come to us, we will do our best to help Ghost Hunter get the leading position. He can be the Chief of our Brutal Dragon Tribe in the future. What do you think?" smiled Gu Te.
"I have so many things I want to learn from that sister," Xia Xin Yan smiled and threw him a charming, sexy look.
Shi Yan burst out laughing, raising his hands. "Stop it!"
Everybody looked at him.
"God Clan won't drop its plan." Shi Yan took a deep breath. "I don't think this barrier can hold the God Clan forever. I think... The death of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish and the defeat of the Dark Shadow Clan will stir up the raging flame of God Clan. Agate Star Area will be safe for a while. However, we must be cautious. We must prepare for the next wave of attack. We'll have time to cultivate more. We should try our best to enhance our fighting competence."
He looked at Leona. "You guys all know how valuable a powerful commander is. I suggest the Brutal Dragon Tribe, Evil Dragon Tribe, and the Demon Clan send a troop of yours to make a combined corps. Leona will train this corps. I think that this corps will become the sharp weapon of Agate Star Area to deal with God Clan."
Bath and Gu Te were surprised. They pondered.
Blood Devil guffawed. "I support this idea."
All of them could see that Leona followed Shi Yan. At the same time, Shi Yan and Blood Devil had a close relationship. If Brutal Dragon Tribe and Evil Dragon Tribe sent their elite forces to Leona's management, they knew that their lethality would increase massively. However... Since Leona was the commander, if she leaned towards the Demon Clan, would the Monster Clan receive disadvantages?
Bath and Gu Te were the Chiefs of their tribes. They needed to consider a lot of things. They didn't agree immediately and still pondered.
"Brutal Dragon Tribe, Evil Dragon Tribe, you guys should send one captain each. Leona will help you train them. Only when we fight the God Clan will she command the three troops of the elite corps. If nothing happens, your captains will train your old forces. You can be independent. Any doubts?" added Shi Yan with a smile.
Bath and Gu Te laughed and screamed, "Good! It's excellent!"
Because it meant Leona would train their troops for free. Since the captain would be from their tribes, they didn't need to worry. Thus, they had no objection.
"What about me?" Xia Xin Yan smiled and winked at Shi Yan.
"You?" Shi Yan was surprised. "You are a qualified commander yourself. If you need more knowledge of guild combat or tactics, you just need to ask her."
Xia Xin Yan immediately looked at Leona.
Leona gave her a curt nod.
Xia Xin Yan smiled naturally and immediately approached Leona to ask something, her face longing.
"Come back," said Blood Devil.
Everybody returned to their battleships. Shi Yan signaled Leona. Leona spoke to Xia Xin Yan for a while and then excused herself. She left Xia Xin Yan and walked towards Shi Yan.

Inside the secret chamber of a battleship.
Shi Yan sat neatly while Leona, Fei Lan, Ka Tuo, and Benny sat around him with longing faces.
"Ka Tuo, you did a good job," Shi Yan said while secretly urging the energy in his acupuncture points. He beamed a bright smile.
"I don't know what had happened." Ka Tuo scratched his head, "I don't know why the explosion happened and why the space was sealed. I have no clue."
"Well, even though we don't know for now, we will figure it out later... I think your understanding of Chaos power Upanishad has progressed after that, right?" asked Fei Lan.
Ka Tuo nodded and replied earnestly, "Yeah, I got a glimpse of something magical, indeed."
"Good. Then, after taking in the energy, you should invest in it furthermore. I think... you can break into Ethereal God Realm." Shi Yan smiled brightly. "I collected a lot of energy this time. You guys will have a big harvest too. It's true that battles will nurture people like us the most."
They exchanged looks and laughed contentedly. They opened their souls and waited for the gift from Shi Yan.
