Chapter 8

Morax supported his forehead, speechless.

Although Azhdaha didn't understand why he should do this, Morax didn't stop him, so Azhdaha still did it.

The Geo Hilichurl King not far away hadn't reacted yet before it was embedded into the ground by a giant dragon claw and stopped moving.

"Uh... he didn't seem to be able to withstand a slap from me."

Azhdaha, who turned into a stone dragon, made a sound that was honest but carried a bit of embarrassment.

"It's fine, it's fine, as long as the treasure chest is fine."

Jiang Yan laughed, looking at the Precious Chest that had already been unlocked below, and grinned.

Sliding down Azhdaha's arm, he came to the front of the treasure chest.

After skillfully opening the treasure chest, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening a Precious Chest! Obtained Naruto World: Nine-Tails level Chakra!]

[Note! Tailed Beast level chakra does not include Tailed Beast characteristics, only the amount of chakra is equivalent to a Tailed Beast.]

[Converting chakra amount into elemental energy...]

As the system's voice fell, the elemental energy in Jiang Yan's body began to surge crazily.

Veins extended from Jiang Yan's neck, and he gritted his teeth, enduring the elemental energy constantly surging in his body.

"Jiang Yan?!"

Morax noticed that something seemed wrong in Jiang Yan's body and was about to step forward to check the situation, but saw Jiang Yan reach out to stop him.

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yan panted with difficulty, his face revealing an ugly smile.

"Just suddenly broke through."

"The elemental energy in his body has surged a lot."

Azhdaha said in a deep voice beside Morax.

As an Elemental Dragon King, his sensitivity to elemental energy was naturally deeper than Morax's.

The elemental energy capacity of this kid before him had suddenly risen to an incredible level.

It could be said that it was even more than the elemental energy of himself, this Elemental Dragon King!

Azhdaha looked at Jiang Yan deeply.

Everyone has their own secrets. Since Jiang Yan didn't say, Azhdaha and Morax wouldn't ask.

And Jiang Yan, after successfully integrating the Nine-Tails level chakra, was also immersed in joy.

The elemental energy in his body should be able to reach the threshold of the First Hokage!

Let alone the Wood Human, True Several Thousand Hands can be used as one pleases, right?

Although he still couldn't use Sage Mode and couldn't use the Top-Level Buddha, it didn't matter.

Relying on Nine-Tails level elemental energy, Jiang Yan had the confidence to suppress any Archon in the Archon War!

What? You say multiple Archons combined?

It's fine, I'll let them use two hands with my True Several Thousand Hands!

Until this moment, Jiang Yan finally relaxed completely.

He finally didn't have to think about opening treasure chests to improve his strength all the time!

Now he just needs to be steady and open a few more Precious or Luxurious Chests!

That's right, the confident Jiang Yan had already started to look down on Common Chests.

Even if he opened Common Chests for a hundred years, it wouldn't be as good as getting a Nine-Tails level chakra from a Precious Chest.

Awesome!

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

The three looked in the direction of the vibration, and an Archon was running toward their direction at high speed.

The Archon's face revealed a look of horror, as if it was being chased by something.

"Eh? Isn't that..."

Morax and Jiang Yan looked at each other, their expressions a bit strange.

"What?"

Azhdaha asked with some confusion.

The Archon before them was exactly one of the two Archons who had fought Jiang Yan and Morax before, but looking at it now, its state wasn't that good.

Morax stretched his wrists and was about to walk forward, but was stopped by Jiang Yan.

"Let me do it."

Jiang Yan, who was worried about having nowhere to stretch his power, was eager to try.

"Are you sure?"

Morax weighed it and finally agreed to let Jiang Yan go.

And Azhdaha looked completely unconcerned.

Nonsense!

A monster with more elemental energy than me, the Dragon King, needs me to worry?!

Are you kidding me??

Looking at the Archon getting closer and closer, Jiang Yan walked forward and clapped his hands together.

Violent trembling grew around him.

"Wood Release, Wood Human Technique!"

With the youth's cold shout, under the astonished gazes of Morax and Azhdaha, a giant hand broke out from the ground, instantly grabbing the Archon's head.

Huge dust filled the surroundings. As the dust dissipated, a giant like a high mountain, with a Wood Dragon wrapped around its neck, was pressing the Archon's head, and the huge pressure made it unable to move.

Jiang Yan stood on the giant's head, his eyes cold, but he smiled at the Archon and said:

"Long time no see, you mongrel!"

The process was certainly relatively simple and crude.

Originally, this Archon could only fight the Wood Dragon to a draw; facing a higher-level Wood Man, he naturally had no power to resist.

Jiang Yan did not use the Thousand-Armed Wood Buddha, as he wanted to keep that move as his trump card.

He would save it for when a true crisis emerged!

Morax and the Great Dragon King Azhdaha were naturally very curious about Jiang Yan’s sudden surge in strength.

However, Jiang Yan spoke rather vaguely, as it was better for only he himself to know about the system.

Still, he managed to fool the two of them with a mix of fabrications and evasions.

"Hey, Morax, that should be the territory of the Dust Archon up ahead, right?"

The three of them had been walking for nearly two days. Looking at the farmland ahead, where even the sounds of human laughter could be heard, Jiang Yan asked aloud.

"This place is located to the northeast of Mount Tianheng; looking at it this way, it should be."

Thoughts flashed through Morax’s eyes as he spoke calmly.

"Oh! What a cute child!"

A delicate cry came from beside them, and immediately after, Jiang Yan was lifted into the air.

A young girl with exquisite features was continuously rubbing her soft, pink cheeks against Jiang Yan’s face.

"So cute, so cute..."

"Let big sister give you a squeeze..."

Morax: ...

Azhdaha: ......

Jiang Yan: ......

It must be said, judging by Jiang Yan’s current appearance.

It seemed there was no woman who could resist such an adorable exterior.

"Save me!!"

While enjoying the fragrance emanating from the girl, Jiang Yan spoke to the two bystanders.

Morax: ...... ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
