Chapter 110: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 45

~4 min read 790 words

But unfortunately, he was wrong.

Considering the plot of the original work, Li Ang deduced that Lu Lu Mingze was most likely the one who took Old Tang out of the Bronze City—otherwise, there was no way to explain how the other knew Old Tang's true identity.

But this raised a new question: what was Lu Lu Mingze's true purpose?

If he wanted to kill the Four Lords, he could have simply stabbed Old Tang to death while Norden was still asleep.

'Or does it have to be done by Lu Mingfei himself?'

Li Ang had no idea what Lu Lu Mingze's true purpose was, but he had no intention of digging deeper either.

For him, what mattered most right now was how to obtain the records of the Seven Alchemical Kingdoms from Norden.

Thinking of this, he spoke: "You're planning to return to the Bronze City to find Konstantin, right?"

"I advise you not to do that—too many eyes are watching it now."

"I know you might despise the bloodline factions, but what if one of those watching is your own brother—the Sky and Wind King?"

Odin is definitely watching the Kui Sect plan; for Him, the Dragon Bone Crosses left behind by either Norden or Konstantin are potent nourishment.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Old Tang immediately frowned: "What do you know?!"

Li Ang naturally wouldn't hand over intelligence so freely—he merely shrugged and said: "If you give me the records of the Seven Alchemical Kingdoms, I'll tell you everything I know."

To his surprise, Old Tang's face showed a hint of confusion: "What are the Seven Alchemical Kingdoms?"

Seeing he didn't seem to be pretending, Li Ang was taken aback: "Elemental transmutation, spiritual recasting, conceptual armament, time reversal, space creation, life forging, causal separation—you don't know?"

Li Ang never imagined that Old Tang, the Bronze and Fire King, didn't even know of the Seven Alchemical Kingdoms.

A deep sense of disappointment surged within him.

After hearing Li Ang's explanation, Old Tang frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Some of what you mentioned, I know; others, I've never heard of."

The Bronze and Fire King, who considered himself the sovereign of alchemy, had no reason to lie about such a matter.

Hearing this, Li Ang's eyes lit up.

For him, as long as Old Tang knew some of it—even if not all—it was better than nothing.

But Old Tang's next words doused him in cold water.

"But why should I make a deal with a schemer like you?"

"And how do I know your information is even true?"

"Hmph."

In Old Tang's eyes, the man before him was unquestionably a mad, ruthless ambition-seeker—he had seen countless such people.

Before Li Ang could react, he turned and left the room.

Seeing this, Li Ang felt a wave of helplessness—he knew things wouldn't be simple.

Without time to think further, he immediately followed Old Tang.

"You're heading to Shenzhou? I'm coming with you."

Li Ang couldn't let Old Tang slip away—this was his best chance right now to access the Seven Alchemical Kingdoms.

Moreover, his future transformation into the 【Dragon Vein Alchemist】 might require the Bronze and Fire King's help.

Sensing Li Ang following, Old Tang merely cast him a cold glance—no attempt to stop him.

Not because he didn't want to, but because the cost would be too high.

As a Dragon King, he could keenly sense the dangerous aura radiating from Li Ang.

Old Tang clearly realized the vast gulf between Li Ang and ordinary half-breeds.

And as a newly awakened being, defeating him would demand a heavy price.

After all, before consuming Konstantin, he possessed only the 【Authority】.

But the Bronze City isn't easy to enter—once there, he could simply shake off this half-breed beside him.

That's one reason he didn't bother with Li Ang.

Yet just as the two prepared to depart for Shenzhou, Li Ang suddenly asked: "By the way, your visa hasn't been updated, has it?"

"."

Old Tang hadn't anticipated this twist before departure, so he certainly hadn't obtained a Shenzhou visa.

And in his current state, swimming across the entire Pacific was utterly unrealistic.

Fortunately, after years as a bounty hunter, he had his own channels to quickly secure a visa.

As for Li Ang,

He had already arranged through the Hunter Network a few days ago to forge new identity documents.

After all, continuing to use the identity provided by the Cassell Academy was no different from living under a spotlight.

Soon, one man and one dragon boarded the plane bound for Shenzhou.

Watching Monterey shrink into the distance until it vanished from view, Li Ang exhaled softly and began planning his next moves.
