Chapter 549 - Endless Carefreeness (2/2)

Enzo Rota also looked at Lin Ling with approving eyes full of admiration. Even for some strong-willed martial dao masters, they would be considered very strong if they could hold that kind of highly intensified concentration for ten hours. Almost no one could even hold for twenty hours.

Ninety-five hours? Lin Liqiang had to admit that if Qin Fen was a male version of a monster, then this Lin Ling was a female version of a monster. Not even an eighteen-star martial artist could withstand such a time span.

“Captain Du…”

Chen Zhi suddenly came forward with a tiger form, his five fingers spread and reached out to grab Du Zhanpeng’s shoulders. His eyes met with Du Zhanpeng’s eyes, “Even though you are the captain and have the decision-making power for our team’s courses of action, please don’t forget about the consequences of donating your elemental energy. Big Bro Zhan is not a god. He could wake you up from death but there is absolutely no way for him to replenish your elemental energy.”

“I know.” Du Zhanpeng raised his hand and gently patted the back of Chen Zhi’s hand on his shoulder, “It’s okay for me to lose it.”

“Captain Du, I have no intention to offend you.” Chen Zhi didn’t seem to have the intention to let go. He put more strength into his fingers and grabbed Du Zhanpeng’s shoulder tightly, “Your strength belongs to you, but at the same time it doesn’t belong to yourself only.”

“I understand that, but it doesn’t matter.” Du Zhanpeng’s smile gave an indescribable calmness and carefree attitude. He had the kind of calmness that was unique to a Childe, one that was inexpressibly handsome, “He is a brother to me, Du Zhanpeng, and he’ll never be worse than me. He’ll only be stronger than me, so you don’t need to worry about this.”

“But…”

“You’re worried that he’ll disobey us? It’s okay, I am his brother.” Du Zhanpeng gently waved his fist, “If he doesn’t listen to us, I’ll beat him up. Even if I’m weaker than him in terms of strength, I can still order him with my identity as his brother to lift his ass up to let me beat it up, right?”

Chen Zhi’s arm muscles tensed and his whole arm was trembling. He looked at Du Zhanpeng with no intention of pulling back. According to Big Bro Zhan, this man’s potential might win him the title of a divine beast martial artist if he was given the time.

“Mr. Lin.” Chen Zhi raised his voice and stuck his head up to look at Lin Liqiang, “It wouldn’t work without the elemental energy?”

“It’s not that it wouldn’t work, just that the effect won’t be as good.” Lin Liqiang scratched his head, “To tell you the truth, I am a little selfish in making this request. Without this, Young Master Du can still become a new human being, but he may not be able to achieve the best condition? As we all know, elemental energy can’t really be retained in someone else’s body for a long time even if it’s introduced into the body, and it can never be owned by that other person. However, this thing is still very helpful to the recipient’s consolidation process, as it provides similar effects like the marrow cleansing and meridian aligning.”

Chen Zhi nodded approvingly. Elemental energy did have similar effects like marrow cleansing and meridian aligning, but this thing couldn’t be replenished after it was taken out. On top of that, a limitless future couldn’t be guaranteed for the recipient of elemental energy. This was a very risky act, it was not cost-effective at all, and one could only perform this act provided he had the foundation of Humanity Aura Shield.

Which of these martial artists who could possess Humanity Aura Shield was not an expert among experts? Who would be willing to sacrifice their star-level strength and pass elemental energy to someone else just to bet on an unknown result? On top of that, Du Peng might not be able to wake up, which was another bet for them. If they lost the bet… that would be too much to lose!

“Mr. Du, you can also choose not to pass elemental energy, and just to donate blood.” Lin Liqiang scratched his head, “Sorry, I was a little selfish.”

“It’s okay.” Du Zhanpeng turned to look at Du Peng, who was soaking in the glassware’s liquid, and his eyes softened a lot, “Just do as you said.”

“Little Du, you are younger than me.” Chen Zhi sighed, “This time, I’m advising you once again as your big brother. You have to consider it carefully. You have a chance…”

“Big Brother Chen, I know what you want to say.” Du Zhanpeng forced open Chen Zhi’s five fingers on his shoulder, “Since I was young, I was called a genius. I was designated as a successor by our family. Du Peng, on the other hand, has always been a human cauldron and has been living in an environment where he was not valued. He lacks recognition from an early age, so he longs for recognition by others. It just so happens…”

Du Zhanpeng shrugged his shoulders and pointed a finger at his chest, “I hate being placed under the spotlight. Isn’t it good that I get to exchange with him?”

“Do you know what you are about to give up…” Chen Zhi couldn’t finish his words. Others’ words may not be as reliable, but the comment about Du Zhanpeng came from Qin Zhan! The Qin Zhan who was never wrong in his words!

“The opportunity to become a divine beast? As martial artists, everyone was more or less interested in becoming a divine beast martial artist. I am also quite interested in becoming a divine beast martial artist.” Du Zhanpeng smiled without hiding anything, and his chin was slightly raised by around ten degrees to look at the ceiling, “However, there will always be comparisons in this world, right? Compared to the temptation of becoming a divine beast martial artist myself, I’d rather see Du Peng have a higher chance of becoming a divine beast martial artist.”

“However…” Chen Zhi said anxiously, “Du Peng will not necessarily succeed!”

“Don’t worry, Du Peng will definitely succeed.” Du Zhanpeng tapped Chen Zhi’s shoulder heavily. The smile on his face was so bright. It was an elegant but steady smile that could cause one’s heart to tremble slightly, even someone like Chen Zhi.

“Little Du, think about it again. If you lose this bet, you will lose everything you earned.”

“I won’t lose, I won’t lose. He won’t dare let me lose. I told him to win, how dare he not win?” Du Zhanpeng turned back and smiled confidently, “I am his brother.”

That smile showed an endless carefreeness which shone even brighter than the sky and the earth.
