Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Queen Medusa
Regaining his thoughts, Lin Yuan said loudly, "Elder Hai, there are some matters I need to clarify with you."
"Please enlighten me, young friend." Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Hai Bodong landed beside him, his attitude more respectful and grateful, and his tone very kind.
Lin Yuan spoke in a deep voice, "I have already lifted the part of Medusa's seal that can be directly undone. The remaining part, if forcibly removed, will trigger a violent energy conflict within you, which could endanger your life. Therefore, I have chosen a gradual approach."
After a pause, Lin Yuan continued, "I have sealed the energy connection channel between her snake curse and the energy within you. From now on, she will not be able to replenish the energy needed to maintain the strength of the seal from within you. The seal will gradually weaken until it disappears, and during this process, your strength will slowly recover."
Hai Bodong was overjoyed and said, "Really? So what you're saying is that the seal on me will gradually disappear?"
"That's right. This is a method I have devised to completely resolve her seal, but it will take some time."
"How long will it take approximately?"
"If you wait for it to naturally dissipate, the process will be completed within a few years. Of course, if you frequently attack the seal and actively deplete its power to speed up the process, it is estimated that it could be completely exhausted in a few months," Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and smiled as he shared his estimate.
"That's great! This damned seal is finally going to disappear!" Hai Bodong expressed his immense gratitude. "As agreed, both I and the Mitel family will follow your commands." Hai Bodong said solemnly, having decided to go all in.
"Then I won't be polite. I do have some matters that require the assistance of Elder Hai and the Mitel family. First, this." Saying this, Lin Yuan handed a long list to Hai Bodong. "The Mitel family is a business family, and I need them to pay attention to and collect the items on this list for me."
Hai Bodong took the list and found it filled with various rare materials, secret techniques, and special combat skills.
"There's one more thing; I have detailed it in this notebook." Lin Yuan handed Hai Bodong a notebook.
Hai Bodong took it and glanced at it for a moment. His eyes suddenly narrowed in surprise as he asked, "Are you planning to take action against the Yunlan Sect? Or do you think someone from the sect has fallen into their hands and want to test the waters?"
"Both. However, for now, Elder Hai, it would be better for you to leave this place. There may be a great battle here soon, and your current strength makes it dangerous to stay. The incoming party is unlikely to be friendly towards you," Lin Yuan acknowledged Hai Bodong's speculation and instructed.
Hai Bodong looked deeply at Lin Yuan but did not press further. He had already guessed the protagonists of this great battle; one was undoubtedly Lin Yuan, and the other, if he was not mistaken, should be Queen Medusa.
Could this young man before him really have the confidence to fight Queen Medusa? Hai Bodong couldn't help but feel astonished.
Thinking of Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong's heart raced. After being tormented by her seal for so many years, he had developed a psychological shadow regarding her.
Hai Bodong took out a token from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yuan. "This is the highest-level VIP token of the Mitel family. With it, you will receive the best reception at all Mitel family outposts. I will wait for you at the Mitel family headquarters in Gamma Holy City."
"Alright, I will come to find you after a while. By then, I might be able to give you a nice gift," Lin Yuan accepted the token and agreed to Hai Bodong's invitation.
"Thank you. I will take care of your matters. Take care." After saying this, Hai Bodong spread his ice wings and flew towards Gamma Holy City, disappearing from Lin Yuan's sight in no time.
After watching Hai Bodong leave, Lin Yuan looked towards the west. He could sense a powerful aura approaching.
"Is she here? Queen Medusa."
Not long after his words fell, a stunning purple figure appeared before Lin Yuan.
Seeing the legendary Queen Medusa in person, Lin Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment in his eyes. She was a breathtaking woman, embodying both allure and beauty. With an exquisite face and a graceful figure, she exuded an intoxicating charm.
With a hint of regal nobility and grace between her brows, her pair of elongated light purple eyes sparkled with an enchanting allure.
Indeed, she was the most beautiful woman Lin Yuan had ever seen.
"Is it you who took the 异火 from that magma world?" Looking at the Nine Star Fighting King before her, Queen Medusa frowned slightly. From Lin Yuan, she sensed a powerful fire energy that faintly radiated destructive waves, very similar to the remnants of the energy she had spent a lot of effort to find in the underground cave but had yielded nothing.
Realizing this, a dangerous glint appeared in Queen Medusa's eyes as she looked at Lin Yuan, indicating that this person had gotten to her prey before her.
Seeing the look in Queen Medusa's eyes, Lin Yuan thought, "Looks like I need to strike hard."
In a provocative manner, Lin Yuan revealed a playful smile, lightly snapping his fingers. A Heart of Earth Blue Lotus Fire appeared at his fingertips, skillfully swirling between his five fingers, while his gaze became exceptionally sharp.
"Are you talking about this? If you want it, come and take it, provided you can catch me. Haha."
With that, Lin Yuan moved, spreading his fighting spirit wings and rapidly flying away from the desert.
Queen Medusa's face turned cold at Lin Yuan's provocation. A mere Fighting King dared to challenge her? Was he relying on his 异火 or his speed? It seemed that in recent years, her infrequent actions had made the people of the Gamma Empire forget her fearsome reputation. Queen Medusa sneered inwardly and quickly pursued the direction Lin Yuan had flown.
As she closed the distance between them, Lin Yuan chuckled lightly, forming a seal with his hands. Immediately, a pair of seemingly substantial purple-black wings extended from behind him, following the blue fire wings. It looked as if the blue fire wings were attached to the purple-black wings. With the appearance of both pairs of wings, Lin Yuan's flying speed surged, matching that of the peak Fighting King, Queen Medusa.
These purple-black wings were, of course, the Eagle Wings Lin Yuan had obtained from the cave. Although after advancing to Fighting King, the wings formed from fighting spirit could surpass the speed of the Eagle Wings, one reason flying combat techniques were extremely precious in the Fighting Spirit Continent was due to their stacking characteristics. The combination of wings would significantly enhance speed, though the downside was that it consumed a lot of fighting spirit.
However, for Lin Yuan at this moment, consuming fighting spirit was not a significant issue. After practicing the Heavenly Fire Secret Technique, a high-level earth-grade skill, Lin Yuan had made a qualitative leap in the recovery speed of his fighting spirit. Long-term use of the combined wings was no longer a major drain.
Queen Medusa pursued Lin Yuan closely from behind, growing increasingly astonished as time passed. This kid was incredibly fast, fast enough to rival her, a peak Fighting King. However, Queen Medusa did not give up the chase. The hope of her evolution—异火—had finally appeared before her. If she let this person escape, she didn't know how much effort it would take to find 异火 again. This opportunity was right in front of her, and she could not afford to miss it.
A blue and a purple streak of light soared through the sky, heading towards the Beast Mountain Range.
