Chapter 182: Magical Treasure Recognizes Its Master

Just as Lu Qiang’s vision was gradually blurring, about to lose consciousness!

Those greedy gazes all around!

Were full of malice, exchanging glances with each other!

Then!

Simultaneously!

They ran towards the frozen pool—

They wanted to seize the Crystal Ball transformed from the frog!

...

Yet at this moment!

Lu Qiang endured fatigue and pain, standing up again!

Though his body was weak!

His posture was crooked and unsteady!

But his gaze!

Was fiercely intense!

Like a bloodthirsty beast poised to attack!

He shouted at everyone:

"Come on! I’ll fight you to the death!"

A biting cold emitted from him!

Invading the surrounding air!

"Haha! Kid, don’t be so tense! I’m just going over to help you check it out..."

One person grinned cheekily, insisting on taking a step forward!

But Lu Qiang’s gaze sharpened!

He thrust a palm at him!

A sharp Ice Cone materialized, piercing towards his heart!

The man had no time to dodge!

Nor expected Lu Qiang to actually dare to kill!

Yet in an instant, his heart was pierced through!

"You..."

His eyes widened!

Losing vitality steadily!

...

"Hiss!"

Seeing this!

The rest of the crowd retreated in fear!

Daring not to approach easily!

Though they all knew—

At this moment, Lu Qiang was at the end of his rope!

If they all attacked at once!

Lu Qiang would surely be overwhelmed!

But!

Who would want to be the last target of this arrow’s attack?

...

Lu Qiang dragged his weary body!

Struggling, he walked towards the Crystal Ball!

Finally!

He reached the center of the pool!

Tightly grasping the Crystal Ball on the boulder in his hand.

He knew!

This glass ball!

Not only represented rich rewards!

But also represented the future with his sister!

At this moment!

He seemed to hear his sister’s acknowledgment:

"Brother, you’re truly the most powerful Superpower User in the world!"

Also, he seemed to see everyone’s sincere admiration:

"Lu Qiang is amazing!"

Especially!

It seemed Lin Lang was standing before him, lowering his head:

"I admit! You’re better than me!"

...

But!

Just as Lu Qiang grasped that red Crystal Ball!

The Crystal Ball suddenly trembled!

Flames erupted!

Immediately!

An unprecedented blaze exploded!

Enveloping Lu Qiang entirely within a fireball!

The scorching heat!

Forced the surrounding eager crowd to take a step back!

...

"Ah!"

Lu Qiang screamed in agony!

...

However!

This time, the flames from the Crystal Ball!

Were different from the ones previously emitted by the frog—

They seemed not to want to burn Lu Qiang to ashes!

But instead!

Wanting to merge with Lu Qiang’s body, coexisting with him!

Yet!

With Lu Qiang’s current Physical Body!

It was clear he couldn’t withstand such power!

...

His skin quickly turned rosy under the flame’s lick!

Even gradually emitted a burnt smell!

Lu Qiang clenched his teeth tightly!

Exerted all his strength to activate the Power of Ice!

Attempting to suppress the destructive flames!

But even so!

The flames rampaged inside him like madness!

Bringing indescribable pain!

As if wanting to burn his soul to nothingness!

...

"Hiss!"

Seeing this!

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp!

Oh my!

It’s so tragic!

He’s on the verge of being burned alive!

Even!

Those previously killed by the frog were instantly turned to ashes, without much suffering!

But the flames on Lu Qiang now!

Were neither too big nor too small!

Seemingly deliberately torturing him!

It’s unimaginable!

What kind of pain is this!

Thinking of this!

They secretly felt relieved—

Luckily!

Earlier they hadn’t first touched the Crystal Ball!

...

Yet at this moment!

Lu Qiang, engulfed by flames!

Could no longer withstand the enormous pain, sorrowfully sighing within!

Preparing to accept his fate, welcoming death’s arrival.

But!

"Brother!"

A call from his heart!

Once again, his consciousness was pulled back from the edge of oblivion!

It’s Xiaoxing!

No!

I can’t die!

Xiaoxing is still waiting for me!

In an instant!

Lu Qiang roared again!

He opened his eyes wide!

At the same time!

The flames on his body!

Grew even larger!

However!

He no longer cared!

There was only one thought left in his heart—

It doesn’t matter if I die!

But before I die, I must give this orb to Xiaoxing!

At least!

So that Lu Xiaoxing can receive the reward that could change her destiny!

...

This obsession!

Was like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding him to move forward with difficulty.

And he!

Truly began to take steps!

Step by step!

Walking in the direction of Xingfu District!

...

People couldn’t see Lu Qiang’s expression.

They could only see in the firelight.

That blurry figure actually started to move!

"What the hell!"

"He’s moving, he’s moving!"

"He’s not dead?!"

"That kid is so tough?!"

The crowd exclaimed!

And at this moment!

Among the crowd!

A well-informed Superpower User, upon witnessing this scene, pondered for a long time!

Then said in a deep voice:

"No way!"

"That Crystal Ball is not attacking him!"

"It’s recognizing a master!"

Hearing this!

The crowd was stunned:

"Recognizing a master?"

For this unfamiliar term, they were all slightly puzzled!

And that person continued:

"That Crystal Ball is undoubtedly an extremely powerful Magical Treasure!"

"It has just emerged and is seeking its owner!"

"This might be its test for its owner!"

"As long as this kid passes this test, he can fully claim this Magical Treasure as his own!"

...

"Hiss!"

Hearing this!

The crowd fell into an eerie silence!

Looking again at the figure in the firelight, they were filled with unparalleled envy, jealousy, and hatred—

Such a powerful Magical Treasure!

Is actually going to be taken by this kid?!

At this moment!

Someone asked dumbfoundedly:

"Hmm? If the Crystal Ball really acknowledges this kid as its master..."

"How can he use this Magical Treasure to exchange for supplies?"

"After all, it’s been used by this kid, would Lord Bulang even want it?"

...

But hearing this!

The crowd looked at him with a speechless expression!

Like looking at a fool—

Come on!

With such a Magical Treasure in hand!

Why trade it for some measly supplies!

He might just incinerate Lin Bulang on the spot with a single blaze!

...

"There’s actually such a powerful Magical Treasure in the world!"

"If it were mine, I’d be soaring!"

"But now, it’s going to be this kid’s bargain!"

"Can’t we strive for it one more time?"

Suddenly!

The crowd’s sinister gaze once again focused on Lu Qiang!

Among them even included!

Those teammates who had just been saved by Lu Qiang!

"Every man for himself! Heaven and earth will destroy those who don’t!"

"For my own future, I’ll take a shot!"

The next moment!

The crowd rushed towards that ball of flame!

But!

From Lu Qiang’s body!

Two forces suddenly erupted—

One impossibly cold!

The other incredibly scorching!

Yet extraordinarily chaotic!

Sweeping out!

...

Those who rashly approached!

Either instantly froze, their bodies turned blue and purple, losing their ability to move!

Or they were engulfed in flames, crying out in pain...

...

Seeing this!

The remaining people hurriedly backed off!

No longer daring to act rashly!

...

"Damn it! I don’t believe this kid can hold out for long! I’ve got him!"

"Yeah! There are so many of us! Outlast him, what are we afraid of?!"

"This kid is seriously injured! Even if the Magical Treasure recognizes him as its master, there will definitely be a period of weakness! We can snatch it then!"

"Good idea!"

...

They had no other options!

So they simply followed Lu Qiang closely!

Waiting for him to exhaust his strength!

Then they would make a move!

But at this moment!

Among the crowd!

A few righteous individuals!

Stood up spontaneously!

Speaking to the crowd:

"Enough!"

"This Magical Treasure belongs to this child!"

"What you’re doing is shameless!"
