Of course, Long Yu's interest was not piqued by the Shura Duke's handsomeness. He was wondering how the Shura Duke knew that he had something to do with all this, and that he had made a great contribution.
However, the Shura Duke was a warrior of the Emperor Path, and was much stronger than Long Yu. Long Yu would not be able to comprehend all the tricks he had up his sleeves. Therefore, it was not strange that the Shura Duke knew about this.
"I don't need any reward. It's just that my father went to a dangerous place on the Heavenly Mandate Island, the Heaven Prison Thunderbolt Pool. Could you help me check it out?"
Long Yu looked at the Shura Duke. This time, he had made a great contribution, so he did not hesitate and made his request straightforwardly.
The Shura Duke's eyes brightened and he laughed, "My daughter was right. You would make such a request. However, you have to think about it carefully."
Long Yu frowned and asked, "Senior, can't you go to the Heaven Prison Thunderbolt Pool?"
"Of course not. However, your father has been there for more than 20 years. It's very unlikely that he is still alive."
The Shura Duke shook his head with a smile and said, "If I enter and find nothing, you won't get anything, right? This great contribution is enough for you to pick any Heaven Grade Martial Skill from the Shura Valley's Martial Skill Pavilion. Even if you want a Heaven Grade Weapon, I can give you more than one. "
"I don't lack Heaven Grade Weapons and Martial Skills. Therefore, they are not that useful to me."
Long Yu shook his head.
What he said was the truth. Out of all the martial skills he cultivated, he had two moves of the Desolate Grade martial skill. It was enough for him. What he needed to do next was to deepen his comprehension of the Underworld Dragon Nine Explosions and the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill.
As for the War Weapons, he had the Dragon Bone Tower for defense and the Netherworld Dragon Blade for offense. To Long Yu, these two War Weapons were more than enough. He could not even utilize the full power of these two War Weapons, let alone the other War Weapons.
Hearing Long Yu's words, the Shura Duke's handsome face revealed a meaningful smile.
"Looks like Heaven Ranked Weapons and Martial Skills really can't move you."
The Asura Duke waved his hand dismissively. "Since that's the case, what do you think if this duke wishes to take you as my disciple? If you become my disciple, you will have all the cultivation resources you need. Heaven Grade Combat Weapons, Martial Skills, you can get whatever you want. Furthermore, if there is a Great Desolation Warrior Weapon or a Divine Rune Seal, I will bring you there first, and give you some guidance on Martial Arts. In this way, your Martial Arts journey will be smooth. What do you think? "
The temptation of this condition was much greater than a mere Heaven Rank Martial Skill and Combat Weapon. Even Huo Yuanbai was a little surprised. This was the first time the Regional King had made such a request to a junior. It was obvious that the Regional King admired Long Yu a lot.
Long Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
The Asura Duke was actually willing to accept him as a disciple? Not only could they provide all kinds of cultivation resources, but they could also have the opportunity to snatch Great Desolate-Level Warrior Weapons or supreme treasures like Divine Rune Engravings!
This condition was extremely generous. If it was any other young man in the Shura County, they would agree without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Long Yu was not an ordinary man. He had his own understanding of the Martial Arts journey, and he did not want to rely on others, not even the Asura Duke from the Emperor Road Secret Realm.
Long Yu knew that there were existences stronger than the Emperor Road Secret Realm, such as the mysterious woman Consort Yu that he had seen many times in his memories.
The beast from the Emperor Road Secret Realm had been turned into ashes by Consort Yu with a single move. It was obvious that Consort Yu's strength was much stronger than the Emperor Road Secret Realm.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Duke. However, I would rather Senior help me find my father's whereabouts."
Long Yu shook his head.
"What a pity."
The Asura Duke strode forward with a handsome smile on his face, "Long Yu, I didn't expect you to be so resolute. In that case, if this duke were to give you the position of the next Asura Duke, and betroth my daughter Shu Chan to you, would you be willing?"
Huo Yuanbai's eyes widened involuntarily when he heard this. This, this, this, this was simply unimaginable. The Asura Duke had actually given the position of the next Duke and his own daughter to Long Yu?
Long Yu was slightly startled when he heard this. Shu Chan's lively and beautiful face flashed across his mind, and he recalled the humiliation he had suffered after coming to the Shura County …
At that moment, Long Yu felt a strong desire for the position of the Asura Duke.
If he could become the Asura Duke, or even the next Asura Duke, who would dare to plot against him in the valley where the Asura Sacred Tree was located and try to kill him silently?
If he agreed to the Asura Duke's condition, he would immediately become a big shot in the entire Shura County. He would even be able to stand on equal footing with Shu Chan.
A ball of fire ignited in Long Yu's heart, causing him to almost become hot-headed and agree to the Asura Duke's condition.
After all, this condition was beneficial to Long Yu. If it was anyone else, they would agree to it without any hesitation.
As for his father, the Asura Duke had said that he had been trapped in the Heavenly Prison Thunderbolt Pool for more than twenty years. The possibility of him still being alive was next to nothing.
If that was the case, why not …
At that moment, Long Yu's heart turned cold and he broke out in a cold sweat.
What just happened?
Why did I have such a thought?
Naturally, Long Yu would not agree to the Asura Duke's condition. Regardless of whether it was the Asura Duke or Shu Chan, they were nothing to him.
However, just now, for some unknown reason, a certain weak thought that had arisen in his heart was magnified infinitely, causing him to almost make a choice that went against his will.
When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that this was the third Heart Tribulation of the Human Tribulation Realm.
Human Tribulation Realm Martial Cultivators had to go through three Heart Tribulations. It was not difficult to go through these Heart Tribulations, but for those with weak willpower, it was extremely difficult.
Everyone's Heart Tribulations were different. Long Yu's third Heart Tribulation was to tempt his inner demon.
This tempting heart demon was directly triggered by the words and actions of the Asura Duke in front of him.
"Senior Duke, I still choose to go to the Heavenly Prison Thunderbolt Pool to search for my father's whereabouts."
Long Yu's eyes became extremely determined. He lifted his head and looked at the Asura Duke.
"Hahahaha …"
Seeing this, the Asura Duke laughed out loud. "Not bad, not bad. Not only are you talented in martial arts, your luck is also enviable. Most importantly, you have a strong willpower. In the face of such temptation, you did not change your mind. If it was someone else, I'm afraid it would be too difficult for them to do so."
"Senior Duke, are you purposely triggering my inner demon so that I can go through the Heart Tribulation?"
Asked Long Yu with a smile.
"Not bad. You can tell?"
The Asura Duke raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "You have a good eye."
"Thank you, Senior."
Long Yu cupped his fists. This was the first time they met, but the Asura Duke had already successfully triggered his third Heart Tribulation, allowing him to successfully pass the bottleneck of the Human Tribulation Realm.
As long as he absorbed enough spiritual energy, he could attempt to break through to the Heavenly Beginning Realm. Once he reached the Heavenly Beginning Realm, his strength would be much stronger.
"What are you thanking me for? You were able to pass this test because of your strong willpower. Even without me, you would have passed this test sooner or later."
The Asura Duke waved his hand. "I only allowed you to take this step a little earlier."
"Duke, this old man is curious. If this Dragon boy really fell for the trap and chose to become the next Duke, and even wanted to marry the Princess, what would you do?"
Huo Yuanbai asked with a smile. He seemed to be quite curious.
"It's not impossible for him to marry this Duke's daughter. He also has a chance to become the next Duke. However, before he wants to obtain it, he naturally has to pay a price. At the very least, he would have to undergo some tests from this Duke. "
The Asura Duke said with a smile, "These tests are not simple. If he succeeds, this Duke will naturally admire him."
"Ahem, the Duke's tests are naturally not simple."
Huo Yuanbai coughed and said casually. In his heart, he was thinking, 'Fortunately, this kid is smart enough to overcome his inner demon. Otherwise, if he really agreed to the Duke's words, the tests would definitely take his life …'
"Alright, this matter is settled. Let's go back."
The Asura Duke raised his hand and led the crowd back.
"Duke, please wait a moment. The campsite below has suffered heavy losses. This general still has to stay here and deal with the aftermath."
Huo Yuanbai did not leave with the crowd. Instead, he prepared to deal with the aftermath in the campsite below. At the very least, he had to calm the effects of this storm.
"Mm, go."
The Asura Prefecture King nodded his head. With a wave of his hand, a black cloud rose and brought Long Yu and little fatty Ren Pingfan toward the Asura Valley.
Although Long Yu had only been here for less than two months, he had made a great contribution and received the Asura Duke's reward. When he returned to the Asura Valley, no one would dare to do anything to Long Yu.
Not only that, the Asura Duke seemed to already know that someone had schemed against Long Yu and thrown him into the Asura Holy Tree's valley.
Regarding this, the Asura Duke naturally had to investigate this thoroughly. When the time came, he would give Long Yu an explanation.
"When you return, cultivate well. The Asura County's selection is just around the corner. If you can emerge victorious, you will be able to enter my Asura County's sacred ground. If you are fated, it is not impossible for you to obtain desolate level martial skills or weapons."
The Asura Duke's words caused Long Yu and little fatty Ren Pingfan's hearts to skip a beat.
Desolate level combat weapons and martial skills!
