Chapter 600, Where are the Signs of Weakening

Translator: Silavin

 

Although Lu Fan could have killed Wang Tianlang with a single punch, he chose not to. Instead, he controlled his strength, merely destroying the Purgatory Lord without harming his life.

 

This demonstrated Lu Fan’s terrifying nature. After all, killing someone was not difficult; what was difficult was being able to kill when one wanted to kill, and to spare when one wanted the enemy to be left alive.

 

The reason he could control his strength with such precision was inseparable from Lu Fan’s training by directly traversing half of Dragon Country on foot to reach the Western Border. If not for the battles with Monsters along this journey, Lu Fan could not have thoroughly understood his own strength, reaching a level of perfection.

 

It could be said that Lu Fan now thoroughly understood his strength when equipped with Little Blade Armour Dragon King, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, being able to precisely control his own strength.

 

After receiving Wang Tianlang’s attack just now, he had gained a basic understanding of all of Wang Tianlang and the Purgatory Lord’s combined Attributes.

 

It was through his accurate assessment and training that killing the Purgatory Lord with one punch while allowing Wang Tianlang to live could be accomplished.

 

This was like using an excavator to do embroidery. It appears difficult, but once one’s skill truly reaches that level, it becomes simple.

 

How could Wang Tianlang not understand this principle?

 

He had already realised that this Dragon Tamer before him, whom everyone looked down upon, was the most terrifying being amongst all the participants!

 

Perhaps only Murong Sheng could match him.

 

[No wonder Ning Shuan’er, despite being so powerful, was forced to give him an invitation to the God’s Tomb Secret Realm. She was not confident to kill him outside!]

 

[But wait!]

 

Wang Tianlang suddenly thought of another problem. [Ning Shuan’er wanted Lu Fan to enter the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, to kill him here because she wanted to rely on the Map Mechanics within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm to weaken Lu Fan’s power. After all, a Dragon Tamer who cannot summon his Pet Dragon would surely have their strength severely weakened. But! But! Where are the signs of weakening!?]

 

[Is it possible that even after his strength has been restricted, he still remains this terrifying!?] Wang Tianlang thought that the other party, like himself, only held a Summoner Type Profession.

 

At this moment, unable to summon powerful Pet Dragon, yet still able to display such strength… If they were in the outside world, who could be his opponent?

 

[Could it be that this Dragon Tamer, at merely over Level 60, had already reached the strength of the Fifth Profession!? My God…]

 

Wang Tianlang’s entire body could not help but tremble, almost wetting his trousers.

 

Lu Fan immediately found it amusing. He saw that Wang Tianlang had awakened, and upon waking, looked as if he had seen a ghost.

 

The chain hook behind him made a light sweep, and Wang Tianlang was immediately flung away, landing with a *bang* and falling face-first like a dog eating its own excrement.

 

“You had best not run about. Otherwise, killing you would be as simple as moving my finger!” Lu Fan spoke calmly. The chain hook behind him did not retract but remained like a venomous snake with its head held high, closely watching Wang Tianlang.

 

Wang Tianlang was thrown into complete disarray. Upon hearing Lu Fan’s words, he only felt his back turn cold.

 

He struggled to sit up, raising his hands high and saying, “Don’t… don’t kill me. I definitely won’t run…”

 

Speaking to this point, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly retrieved an item from his Inventory, extending it towards Lu Fan, saying, “This is my key fragment. I’ll give it to you, as long as you don’t kill me…”

 

“Oh, how sensible!” Lu Fan smiled slightly. Another chain hook shot out from behind him, instantly wrapping around the key fragment in Wang Tianlang’s hand and bringing it back to Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan picked it up and glanced at it – Divine Tempering Pool Key First Fragment.

 

Lu Fan now possessed the First and Eighth Fragments. Although he was still far from collecting all thirteen fragments, having such gains immediately upon entering the Secret Realm was always a good thing.

 

Wang Tianlang, having handed over the key fragment, dared not make any movements and only awaited Lu Fan’s disposition.

 

Seeing him so cooperative, Lu Fan also restrained his intention to kill.

 

He pocketed the key fragment, then said, “Wang Tianlang of the Wang Family, is it? How many times have you participated in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm?”

 

Wang Tianlang answered with trepidation. “This… this is my second time participating.”

 

“During the previous time, I was also fortunate to represent the Wang Family. But I was too weak at that time. After entering, I merely stayed for one day before encountering a Boss. I was severely injured by it and had no choice but to withdraw.”

 

Lu Fan’s brow furrowed slightly with some displeasure, “So that means you don’t understand the God’s Tomb Secret Realm very well either?”

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s expression, Wang Tianlang was startled, fearing the other party would think he was useless. He hurriedly added, “No, no, no, actually I understand the God’s Tomb Secret Realm quite well! Our Wang Family has participated in God’s Tomb Secret Realm for hundreds of years. Although this is only my second time here, I am fairly clear about everything within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm. If this is Your first time in the Secret Realm, I can tell you many things, allowing you to avoid meandering due to lacking information.”

 

“Oh, so that’s how it is. This means you still have some use, right?” Lu Fan grinned.

 

Wang Tianlang said, “Yes, I can definitely help you. If you don’t believe me, you can bring me along and walk through the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.”

 

“If you don’t trust me… then please let me return. My Wang Family will surely visit the Ye Family in the future, presenting generous gifts to thank you for your mercy!”

 

“Letting you return is out of the question. You shall serve as my guide for a period first. If you perform well, once I have an understanding of this Secret Realm, I shall consider releasing you.” Lu Fan said, gesturing with his chin towards the distance, “Next, you will lead the way ahead.”

 

Wang Tianlang naturally dared not have any objections. However, before moving his legs, he still had concerns and said in a low voice, “Leading the way is naturally no problem for me, but I just lost my Purgatory Lord, which is my only means of protection. Right now, my own Attributes are low… If we encounter a Monster or other Players here…”

 

Lu Fan interrupted him, saying, “What is there to worry about? I guarantee your life will be safe.”

 

“Having you say those words is enough…” Wang Tianlang nodded, forcing a smile.

 

Subsequently, he obediently led the way ahead while explaining matters concerning the God’s Tomb Secret Realm to Lu Fan.

 

According to Wang Tianlang, the Map of God’s Tomb Secret Realm differed each time it opened, but they were generally similar, with the Map Mechanics remaining unchanged.

 

In the early stages of the Secret Realm, one basically explores within the Map, searching the various sections on the Map, hunting Monster, and seeking key fragments.

Silavin: Hmmm… Author forgot that the Secret Realm opens every 50 years (he would say it opens every year here). Honestly, with that time gap, I don’t really understand how anyone can enter twice. But they live longer lives, so I guess it is possible. Anyways, I’ll be keeping the 50 years gap consistent.
