"Did you see it clearly? This isn't an ordinary challenge. We have to fight until one person falls, "Xia Liuchuan reminded.
"I've seen it clearly. I can agree to a life-and-death duel with you, but I have a condition. The location of the duel has to be chosen by me," Zhou Wen said.
"Don't tell me you want to fight in Luoyang?" Xia Liuchuan said with a smile.
Xia Liuchuan could do such a thing. If Zhou Wen did the same, with his own will, he might really agree. However, he had no choice in this duel. He couldn't agree to Zhou Wen's request.
"No, it's in the Imperial Capital," Zhou Wen said.
"Where do you want to choose?" Xia Liuchuan asked.
"To be able to fight an expert like you can be considered a joyous event in life. I'm afraid I won't have many such opportunities in my life. I naturally have to choose a place that matches us. Let's fight at the peak of Forbidden City. How about that?" Zhou Wen was just worried about not being able to enter Forbidden City when Xia Liuchuan came knocking on his door.
Zhou Wen didn't care about a life-and-death duel. As long as he could finish off the crappy piece of wood, he would immediately put on the Invisibility Cloak and leave. It didn't matter if he could win.
"This …" Xia Liuchuan was in a dilemma.
Other places were fine, but the Forbidden City was under the control of the Old Master. Without the Old Master's order, even the children of the Xia Family could not enter the Forbidden City.
"Why? Are you still worried in your Xia family's territory?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Alright, I agree. You decide on the location, but I'll choose the time," Xia Liuchuan said.
"Sure. When?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Wait for my news," Xia Liuchuan said as he turned to leave.
This fellow is really strange. He was clearly the one with the intention that night. Why doesn't he admit it? Zhou Wen thought in puzzlement.
However, as long as nothing unexpected happened, the matter of entering Forbidden City would be resolved by accident. Using the opportunity of his duel with Xia Liuchuan, Zhou Wen could give the log a try at a relatively high spot.
Dealing with Xia Liuchuan was better than dealing with the Xia family's Wei Ou.
While waiting for Xia Liuchuan's reply, Zhou Wen stayed in his dorm to grind dungeons.
Since he had nothing to do, Zhou Wen planned on seeing if he could kill the nine black dragons. Using Doctor Darkness's Darkness Right Hand, he might be able to kill three black dragons first.
After bringing all his Mythical Companion Beasts, Zhou Wen arrived at the underground sea again.
He had Behemoth on the left and Truth Listener on the right. He had six wings on his back and a golden sword in his hand. Old Ox was beneath him and a Torch Dragon coiled behind him.
Zhou Wen had even summoned Medusa, who had very weak combat strength. He got her to stand by the shore to provide support. Perhaps she might be of some use.
Needless to say, Demonic Neonate had already joined the battle. However, she had hidden herself in a cave beside the underground sea. She had no intention of participating in the battle head-on.
"Come, my Doctor Darkness." Zhou Wen summoned his most important Companion Beast and made Doctor Darkness transform into a soul state to fuse with him.
Zhou Wen immediately felt that his physique had greatly improved. He was almost comparable to a Mythical creature.
This was the benefit of Doctor Darkness. Not only could his Companion Form bestow Zhou Wen with skills, but it could also raise Zhou Wen's basic stats, allowing Zhou Wen to have the ability to fight a Mythical creature. This was something no other Companion Beast could do.
Unfortunately, Banana Fairy hasn't completed her evolution. Otherwise, the chances would be higher. Zhou Wen prepared everything and summoned some Poison Bat Companion Beasts. He used them as bait to lure the nine black dragons over.
Soon, he saw a huge storm on the surface of the sea. The nine black dragons tore through the waves and wiped out the swarm of Poison Bats in the blink of an eye.
"Fight, my pets." After Zhou Wen issued the order, the three main combat pets — Torch Dragon, Behemoth, and Truth Listener — rushed into the sea.
The Great Might Vajra Bull was afraid of water and didn't dare enter the water to fight. It transformed into a thousand-armed bull head by the shore and shot out golden beams of light from its palm to attack the nine black dragons.
Torch Dragon didn't use Bright Torch Vision World. Although it could instantly kill the black dragon, nothing would be left if that happened. Killing the black dragon would be useless.
In a one-on-one battle, Torch Dragon couldn't gain the upper hand without using Bright Torch Vision World. It was obvious that the black dragon was a top Mythical creature.
The moment Tyrant Behemoth's Absolute Strength was used, the invisible chains between the nine black dragons took effect. The condensed power of the nine dragons collided with Tyrant Behemoth's Absolute Strength. Tyrant Behemoth immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Truth Listener constantly harassed from the side, not daring to clash head-on with the black dragon.
Zhou Wen had been waiting for an opportunity to use Darkness Right Hand. As long as his hand could touch the black dragon, it would be fine.
However, the black dragon's body was too huge. It was probably unrealistic to dig out its heart with his palm. Therefore, Zhou Wen's target was their brains.
He didn't hope to dig out their brains. All he needed to do was stir them up.
Although the nine black dragons were independent Mythical creatures, they were connected by invisible chains. In battle, they were like one. When attacking and defending, they cooperated seamlessly. Zhou Wen watched for a while, but he couldn't find a chance to attack.
These nine black dragons are really difficult to deal with. Zhou Wen activated Doctor Darkness's Eyes of Penetration to see if there were any weaknesses in the black dragons' bodies.
If Doctor Darkness hadn't advanced to the Mythical stage, his Eyes of Penetration wouldn't have been able to see so far. His penetrative ability definitely wouldn't have been so strong, so he definitely wouldn't have been able to see through the black dragon's body. Now, as long as he approached a little closer, he could clearly see the situation in the black dragon's body.
This glance left Zhou Wen slightly taken aback. In the black dragon's brain, there was a crystal-like bead. There was a faint dragon-shaped stream of light swirling inside.
Could that thing be the legendary dragon ball? Zhou Wen carefully sized up the bead in the black dragon's brain and quickly made a new discovery.
The black dragon's brain used the bead as its core. Although it also had parts that resembled a brain, those parts seemed to only have a supplementary effect. They were somewhat different from a human brain.
What was even more magical was that the dragon-shaped stream of light in the dragon ball looked like a word when it circulated. Zhou Wen carefully identified it and realized that it was the word 'Kan'.
Could it be … Zhou Wen hurriedly looked at the other eight black dragons and indeed, he realized that there was a dragon ball in their heads. However, the words in the dragon balls were different.
Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, Wu. The nine black dragons' dragon balls had these nine words. The first eight words were the Eight Trigrams, and the last word, 'Wu', Zhou Wen guessed that it represented Wuji.
