"Damn, I've been here for over a year, and suddenly leaving—I'm a bit reluctant to leave."
Inside the flying boat, watching the distant figures gradually disappear, Guo Ran felt a bit sad and said.
"Then go back. From now on, you will be the king of the Moluo Star Domain." Long Chen said.
"No, that's not it. I just occasionally express my feelings. What is the king of the Moluo Star Domain? Could he be more arrogant than my identity as the commander-in-chief of the Dragonblood Legion?" Guo Ran had been gloomy before, but now he was full of vigor again.
Seeing Long Chen looking at him with disdain, Guo Ran said awkwardly, "You're just trying to fit the mood. Otherwise, if I leave in high spirits, wouldn't that make me look ungrateful!" "
It's just the two of us here, who the hell are you putting on a show for? I was so damn it gave me goosebumps. Long Chen said irritably.
This guy's pretentious sentimental act made Long Chen feel very uncomfortable. He clearly wanted to go out and have fun, yet still put on a reluctant expression. Forcing himself to be sentimental was deadly.
"Yeah, that's true. They can't see it at all. Hehe, boss, I think it's better to stick with you.
Look, I've been stuck at Tianlong Divine Armor Academy for over a year, working hard and only making it to the top four, and that's at the bottom.
When you arrived, my status climbed rapidly, so I summed up a truth. Guo Ran said seriously.
"Truth?" Can you still sum up the truth? I wish to hear the details. Long Chen asked.
"I think effort is important, but choosing is even more important." Guo Ran said seriously.
"Damn, is that why you don't want to work hard?" Isn't that a bit embarrassing? Long
Chen was momentarily stunned, thinking the kid's words were somewhat profound. Then he understood. This kid felt that following him didn't require much effort to rise rapidly, and he immediately felt a wave of disdain.
"Hehe, I'm right. Look at me at the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy. You could say the hardest year I've ever worked in my life is right here.
But since you arrived, boss, I have wind and rain whenever I want. The so-called Four Heroes of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are nothing to me now.
So my choice was absolutely the right one. Following the boss, even if I was just a supporting character, would be far more glorious than being the lead. Plus, it was safe, fast, and painless! Guo Ran said proudly, seemingly intoxicated by his own wise decision.
Seeing Guo Ran's composed expression, Long Chen was speechless. This guy possessed astonishing talent for forging but no lofty ambitions. This kind of 'content with modest wealth' mindset was truly unmatched.
"Look, boss, ever since you arrived, my life has changed dramatically. Now I have the Supreme Bone, and I have the Qingying Notes. I have a feeling that I, Guo Ran, am about to spread my wings and become famous throughout the land." Guo Ran had a roll of paper in his hand, his face full of pride.
Back then, in the secret treasure box of the Luo family's treasury, he obtained two scrolls. One of them was a list of human traitors, who had long been executed.
The other was a note personally written by Luo Qingying, known as Qingying's Notes, and was considered a treasure of the human race.
Long Chen and Guo Ran obtained the Qingying Notes and handed them over to the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy for safekeeping. This is a treasure of the human race, jointly owned by the human race. They will set up a special academy to study the Qingying Notes.
Originally, Guo Ran handed it over to the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, and he hand-copied it himself. It contained many of Luo Qingying's ideas and unfinished runes, which held great research value. Guo Ran planned to study hard in the future and continue improving his artifact forging skills.
Even with Guo Ran's intelligence, he couldn't understand most of the notes. For Luo Qingying, this peerless grandmaster, he was deeply impressed.
Guo Ran had transcribed a Qingying Notes, so naturally no one objected. After all, only he and Long Chen knew about these notes; if Guo Ran didn't make them public, neither would they.
Guo Ran's biggest gain this time was the Qingying Notes and the Supreme Bone. However, he was troubled by one thing: how was he supposed to use the Supreme Bone?
"Boss, you have great powers. Can you reattach this Supreme Bone for me?" Guo Ran asked.
"Trying to connect it now is simply impossible. I told you, keep nurturing it with your soul."
Until it accepts your soul, otherwise, you simply cannot master it. Long Chen shook his head.
"But it's been so long, and it hasn't made a single move." Guo Ran said anxiously.
"You've only been nurturing for a few hours, and you already expect some movement? Are you crazy? "Long Chen replied irritably, this guy is way too far-fetched. This is a Supreme Bone—do you think it's a kitten or puppy that can be easily tame?"
"But it completely ignored me. Its breath grew weaker and weaker, and I feared it would rather die than submit.
Boss, do you have a way to forcibly subdue him and take him down directly? Guo Ran scratched his head and said.
"Impossible. If it were to subdue violently, its will would be wiped out in an instant, and this bone would become a dead bone, with no room for improvement." Long Chen shook his head.
This Supreme Bone was somewhat similar to the dragon scales Long Chen had subdued, possessing its own will. But unlike dragon scales, the will of this Supreme Bone was very vague.
According to Mo Luo Tianye, for the Supreme Bone to unleash its power, one must be at the Immortal King realm. In other words, this is a Supreme Bone that hasn't fully awakened yet, with extremely high plasticity. Guo Ran has a high chance of subduing it.
Even without a fully awakened Supreme Bone, he already possessed such terrifying power. Even Long Chen couldn't imagine what kind of abilities he would possess upon awakening.
"You don't need to worry. What belongs to you is yours; forcing it won't help.
Just focus on Wenyang it. Moluo Tianye is dead, it has lost its nourishment, and if it wants to survive, it will eventually accept you. Long Chen said.
"What if it chooses death over submission?" Guo Ran said with some trouble.
"Then it really is a matter of life and death, proving it has no destiny with you." Long Chen shrugged, also a bit helpless.
"Alright, then let's see if I get lucky. Oh no, wait, my luck has always been great. What am I worried about?" Guo Ran suddenly slapped his thigh, instantly perking up and gaining even more confidence in himself.
Although life at the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy was quite tough, thinking carefully, many of his near-death escapes were all thanks to luck. He was quite confident about luck.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Guo Ran asked.
"Go find Xia Chen!" Long Chen said.
"Boss, do you know where Xia Chen is?" Guo Ran was greatly pleased.
"I guess it's somewhere. Let's go check it out and see." Long Chen smiled slightly. Guo Ran had been teleported to the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, so Xia Chen should be in that place.
"Boom!"
The flying vessel pierced through the barrier and, amid countless cries of shock, roared away.
"What's going on? Has someone come out of the Moluo Star Domain? The
experts guarding outside the entrance to the Moluo Star Domain stared in disbelief at the speeding flying vessel, all stunned.
