Chapter 379 - 379 THE POWER CRYSTAL

379 THE POWER CRYSTAL

Bai Chen almost laughed when he heard how Shao Yaoting confidently said that the two of them were the same because they had lost their Power Crystals. Maybe it was true that Bai Chen accidentally lost his crystal when he was only six years old, but he didn’t want to admit that he was just like Shao Yaoting.

No, he must be different from Shao Yaoting. He wasn’t cunning like Shao Yaoting, and more importantly, he had a system that helped him in this world while Shao Yaoting didn’t.

He had indeed lost his Power Crystal many years ago, but the system gave him a miracle when he was suddenly able to use Bai Renshu’s power to kill Shao Yang, and such a thing wouldn’t happen to Shao Yaoting because the old man didn’t have a system, right?

That was why Bai Chen was confident as he replied to the man, “I’m not trying to fool you, but if you still don’t believe me, then I can only show you. Just come to me, and I’ll prove to you that I’m not as weak as you.”

“Wait, Bai Chen!”

When Bai Chen confidently said that he would be able to show it to Shao Yaoting, he suddenly heard a voice in his head. Usually, it was a mechanical sound that sounded in his head, but just now he could hear Bai Lang’s voice in his head.

At this time, Bai Chen frowned in confusion, and the reason was that Bai Lang sounded a bit worried in his head. ‘What’s wrong, Bai Lang? Why did your voice suddenly appear in my head? Where are you?’

Bai Chen used to communicate with Bai Lang face to face. The white wolf was like a ghost, and it could suddenly appear without giving prior notice when it wanted to talk to him about something. So, Bai Chen thought it would be more convenient if the little wolf just suddenly showed itself in front of him instead of just speaking in his mind. Bai Lang could even pause the time, right?

What was happening at this time was quite strange, and that was why Bai Chen looked slightly worried after he so confidently challenged his opponent.

.....

“You can only use Bai Renshu’s power once, Bai Chen! I never said that you would be able to use it forever, right? How could you act so recklessly, huh?” Bai Lang asked, and the voice that rang in Bai Chen’s head even sounded a little frustrated.

At this moment, Bai Chen looked speechless, and even his face was colored with fear. Even if he hated to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Bai Lang wasn’t wrong. The little wolf didn’t say that he could use Bai Renshu’s power forever, and it was definitely his fault for acting overly confident when facing such a dangerous opponent.

Now, he could feel how his feet were being tempted to retreat after he heard Bai Lang’s question, but he knew that he couldn’t escape now.

‘W-what can I do now, Bai Lang? I can’t let Shao Yaoting laugh at me just because I’m still a useless and weak werewolf, right?’ Bai Chen asked frantically as he kept his eyes on Shao Yaoting who was still sitting on the throne in front of him.

“You should use your brain more often than your big mouth, Bai Chen,” Bai Lang scolded Bai Chen instead of answering the werewolf’s question. “Perhaps you think you are not weaker than Shao Yaoting just because he has also lost his Power Crystal, but that is not the case now. Just wait a moment, and you will understand what I mean.”

Bai Chen was confused when he heard Bai Lang’s words in his head, but then he could hear how Shao Yaoting laughed in front of him, and Bai Lang also did not continue talking in his head.

“Are you sure you can show me that you are not weak, Your Highness?” Shao Yaoting calmly asked the Prince before bringing his body to rise from the throne. “Perhaps it would be possible if you improved a bit compared to how weak you were all those years ago, but you definitely wouldn’t be able to surpass me. It might be one thing you never expected, but I managed to get my Power Crystal back, Your Highness.”

“...” Bai Chen was so surprised that he widened his eyes as he continued to stare at the man in black standing in front of him.

Standing beside Bai Chen, Yu Ming also wore the same expression. It seemed that Yu Ming also did not expect to hear such information from Shao Yaoting.

“Don’t easily believe him, Prince Bai Chen. You know that it’s not easy to get your Power Crystal back after you lose it, right?” Yu Ming tried to comfort Bai Chen when the Werewolf Prince looked a little uneasy after hearing Shao Yaoting’s statement.

Indeed, Bai Chen knew that it would not be easy to regain his Power Crystal after losing it. He had found the crystal, and since it was indeed his, there wouldn’t be much of a problem if he wanted to retrieve it. However, a different case had to be applied to Shao Yaoting. That man’s Power Crystal was destroyed by the Immortal Elder years ago, so it must not be easy to get another Power Crystal in his body, right?

Bai Chen was bewildered and worried, but then a sudden realization hit him as his blue eyes once again widened. “Don’t tell me you... you’ve taken my Power Crystal from the hilt of my sword, Shao Yaoting!”

Bai Chen remembered how he forced Wu Jinhai to take Wu Jiang with him, and since Wu Jinhai was now probably being held captive by Shao Yaoting, it was possible that the sword would fall into Shao Yaoting’s hands, and it was also possible if Shao Yaoting took the Power Crystal from the sword.

That was the reason why Bai Chen looked nervous, but then he could hear how Shao Yaoting laughed lightly before replying, “I don’t need your weak Power Crystal, Your Highness. When I can get stronger a Power Crystal, why should I take the weak one? No, I didn’t touch your Power Crystal at all, and instead, I took your father’s Power Crystal, Your Highness.”
