Chapter 982 - Battle Genius (1/2)

Lin Yun taught the entire battle technique to Arnaud. From how to cast at the start, to how to finish them off, he detailed the entire process, and it was very complicated. Arnaud kept nodding with admiration.

If Lin Yun had plainly told him that extreme heat and extreme cold would affect the magic beasts and that the fusion of fire and ice would display the greatest crippling power, Arnaud might not have felt convinced.

But explaining such a simple strategy in a very convoluted way made it easy for Arnaud to believe.

After Lin Yun was done speaking, Arnaud smiled and started talking about these mana crystals’ secrets.

“Our Henry Family paid a huge price and bribed a traitor to obtain these secrets. We made that traitor infiltrate the Raging Flame Beastmen’s upper ranks, and he only managed to get some information. Only the ones standing at the peak know of the true secrets behind those mana crystals, so even I’m not sure about it.

“I believe you should have noticed that the magic beasts of the Raging Flame Battlefield are very strange. They are Level 40 but do not possess Extraordinary Power, haven’t established their Demiplanes, and haven’t even awakened their own wisdom. They are definitely the weakest existences among Level 40 magic beasts.

“But based on the bloodlines of these magic beasts, they shouldn’t have been able to reach Level 40 in the first place. They even still use their basic fighting style, just with the power of a Level 40.

“A long time ago, this was the Raging Flame Pasture, and the eight branches of the Raging Flame Beastmen weren’t fighting here over resources; they were fighting over the mana crystals of these fake Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.

“After coming in, they wouldn’t go gather resources, even though the place is extremely rich in resources and high-grade medicinal ingredients.

“They would only hunt these fake Heaven Rank Magic Beasts like crazy after reaching this place, continuously increasing the number of mana crystals in their hands.

“It was said that these mana crystals were the most valuable thing in the Raging Flame Plane Battlefield and were related to a secret, or some sort of competition where only the final victor could earn the reward, while the losers would get nothing.

“Before humans appeared in the Raging Flame Battlefield, each time the Raging Flame Beastmen reached a whole new level as a race was after the opening of the Raging Flame Pasture.

“The things they obtained from the Raging Flame Battlefield strengthened their entire race, and the key to that was the mana crystals of these fake Heaven Rank Magic Beasts. In comparison, everything in the Raging Flame Battlefield has no value. All that matters are the mana crystals.

“As for what the last, biggest secret is, we aren’t sure. But the Raging Flame Beastmen definitely know. This time, their peak powerhouses came to the Raging Flame Battlefield. It is even said that the royal family of the Gold Beastmen dispatched their own Tribal Chief’s son. And the Tribal Chief’s son inevitably carries their Ancestor Soul and leads the Golden Beastmen’s strongest general.

“If we encounter the Gold Beastmen’s troops on our own, we absolutely won’t be their match. Even the Burning Tower, Quicksand Tower, Sky City, and the Odin Kingdom’s royal family wouldn’t be able to fight the Gold Beastmen on their own.

“I only know this much, nothing else. Regarding everything here, the higher-ups of the Raging Flame Beastmen said that the winner’s reward would be so big that they would burst from digesting it, while the loser would get nothing. The Gold Beastmen rose from being a branch family to become the ruling family of the Raging Flame Beastmen through that. They apparently were victorious three times in a row, giving them an extremely firm foundation.”

Lin Yun pensively nodded after Arnaud explained what he knew in detail.

There were too many abnormalities here. Magic beasts that should have peaked at Level 15 or Level 20 all reached Level 40 here, and although they hadn’t established their Demiplanes, awakened wisdom, or gained Extraordinary Power, they weren’t to be taken lightly. The strangest thing was the immense Spatial Power within their mana crystals that couldn’t be used by the magic beasts.

After the transaction was over, Morgan hurriedly urged his side to leave, not even attending to their injuries, still avoiding Lin Yun like the plague.

Ever since he stole Lin Yun’s Frost Ape mana crystal, he felt as if he had caught some sort of virus. Not to mention the disastrous losses, he had to spit out everything he had gained. Morgan even conjectured that Lin Yun had cast a curse of misfortune upon him, so he wanted to remain as far away as possible.

As he walked along with his team, Morgan kept trying to wash himself clean, probing whether the members of the Henry Family thought he was the Family’s panty thief, and giving everyone a bit of benefits out of fear that these guys would run their mouths. If they did, he would definitely be beaten to death, and no one would be able to save him.

Not caring about Morgan escaping, Lin Yun sorted his own gains before leading the others to continue on. They amassed more and more Heaven Rank mana crystals while the unknown reaction to that place grew stronger and stronger. He originally only had a vague direction, but he could now roughly feel the distance. It wouldn’t take long before they reached the destination.

Since those mana crystals were related to a big secret and were the most precious things in the Raging Flame Battlefield, Lin Yun had no reason not to go to the place resonating with the mana crystals.

On the 3rd day, Lin Yun had just killed a Steel Hog and was ready to move forward when he suddenly reacted to something.
