Chapter 252: Dragon Heart

Chapter 252 Dragon Heart

Li Wei gazed at the heart within the stone coffin, surprise coloring his features.

This heart was actually still beating.

The pulse was exceedingly faint, yet the rise and fall were visible.

The heart was not yet dead.

This ought not to be a human heart.

For the heart was even larger than Li Wei's own head.

Li Wei watched for a moment, then reached out to take the heart.

There was no choice; within three meters of the stone coffin, telekinesis could not be used.

He could only take it by hand.

The instant his fingertips touched the heart, Li Wei felt as if struck by lightning, immense sorrow surging into his mind.

When he came to his senses, tears streamed down his face.

Li Wei understood.

This was the heart of a great dragon.

This was a dragon heart!

Li Wei's heart pounded faster, filled with agitation and excitement.

The dragon race had vanished without a trace for hundreds of years.

Yet he had obtained a living dragon heart, a heaven-shaking encounter.

This dragon heart was worth a fortune.

Li Wei suddenly understood why the black shadow had departed immediately after opening the stone coffin.

For he knew that upon seeing a dragon heart within the coffin, he absolutely could not let it be.

Li Wei withdrew his right hand.

He was exceedingly conflicted.

Whether it was the black shadow wanting to obtain this dragon heart.

Or the value inherent in the dragon heart itself.

As long as the dragon heart left the Bone Palace, it would inevitably trigger a massive storm.

"What use is thinking so much? Without taking the dragon heart, I cannot leave this place either."

Thinking thus, Li Wei cared no longer.

He picked up the dragon heart from the coffin and stored it within his spatial ring.

Seeing the dragon heart could be placed into the spatial ring.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Often many crises originate when the protagonist obtains a treasure, yet the treasure cannot fit into storage items, forcibly attracting countless enemies.

Fortunately, he had not encountered such vexing matters.

Li Wei glanced at the stone coffin lid, picked it up, and stored it in his spatial ring.

This thing was incomparably sturdy.

He suspected that even a sixth-tier spell might not destroy it.

It was absolutely a good item for preserving life.

Placed upon the chest as a heart-guarding mirror, it was more than sufficient.

Pity that the stone coffin, though seemingly placed on a stone platform, could not be moved.

Li Wei could only take away the stone coffin lid.

At least there was some gain.

Li Wei comforted himself.

After he took the dragon heart, the Bone Palace trembled.

The great gate slowly opened.

Li Wei walked toward the outside of the Bone Palace.

Stepping out of the Bone Palace, he glanced back at the White Palace with its gates wide open, then flew toward the Blood Pool without looking back.

Li Wei was also somewhat surprised.

Having encountered so many matters, yet it ended without drawing blade.

He glanced at his magic badge.

After the Death Knight died, the merit was counted to his account.

The credits within the magic badge increased by ten points.

Li Wei revealed a smile, although the black shadow and dragon heart brought new uncertain events.

But at least thus far, what he had gained were all benefits.

Flying out from the Blood Pool, Li Wei looked down at the Blood Pool.

He was pondering what exactly this Blood Pool was?

Could it truly be blood?

It was unknown.

Any attack seemed to have no effect on the Blood Pool.

After Li Wei threw a fireball into the Blood Pool, it simply vanished without a trace.

Apart from this, the Blood Pool did not show aggressiveness.

Perhaps, this was merely a peculiar landscape.

Li Wei glanced around, flying toward the direction of the secret realm exit.

"I hope they have not left yet."

Li Wei did not wish to be trapped within the secret realm.

Being trapped within the secret realm was slightly better than being trapped within the Bone Palace.

At least, within a month someone would surely open the secret realm teleportation gate.

At least there was hope.

Boom! Li Wei saw the explosion created by magic, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle was still continuing, meaning the crowd had not yet departed.

A figure swiftly cut across the sky above the sea of skeletons.

Suddenly, that figure halted, soaring swiftly toward Li Wei.

Seeing someone approach, Li Wei instinctively slowed, growing wary.

Drawing near, he saw clearly it was the team leader, Jasmine.

Jasmine stopped before Li Wei, two cyan wind spirit wings upon her back.

She gazed at Li Wei and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Li Wei said, "Hunting down the Death Knight."

Jasmine stared at Li Wei for a moment, then asked, "What did you see?"

"A blood pool," Li Wei said.

Jasmine's brows knitted tight, saying, "You did not go inside, did you?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, I used spells to attack the blood pool, found magic had no effect on it, so I did not risk entering."

"After killing the Death Knight, I left."

Jasmine nodded, saying, "Mm, good that you did not go in."

"The Millennium Blood Pool is one of the most dangerous places on the ancient battlefield."

"No one knows what the Barrier Masters of the Element Tower were thinking back then, actually incorporating part of the blood pool into the magic barrier."

"But fortunately, the blood pool within the secret realm is relatively quiet, yet still dangerous; do not approach it easily."

Jasmine admonished Li Wei, fearing he would rashly approach the blood pool and cause an incident.

Li Wei hurriedly nodded and replied, "Mm, I understand."

Jasmine looked into his eyes and asked, "Are you truly a Tier Three Mage?"

Li Wei said, "Genuine as can be."

Jasmine laughed once, "Heh, fine, here I will count you as a Tier Three Mage."

"Since you can kill the Death Knight, there are no enemies in this secret realm that can threaten you, so I will not watch over you."

Jasmine turned around, preparing to leave.

She suddenly asked, "Did you have a friend who died at the hands of the Death Knight?"

Li Wei froze, not understanding why she would have such a thought.

Seeing Li Wei did not answer, Jasmine thought she had touched upon his sorrow.

So she did not continue questioning, flying off into the distance.

Li Wei scratched his head, feeling utterly baffled.

He had just arrived at the Element Tower, how could he have any friends?

Li Wei shook his head, disregarding those matters.

Whoosh!

A bone arrow struck Li Wei.

Clang!

Blocked by the invisible armor.

Li Wei casually tossed a fireball, blasting apart a group of skeleton monsters.

The figure of the skeleton archer vanished within the firelight.

Turning into credits within the magic badge.

"Regardless of all that, farm credits first."

By the time the practical course ended and everyone left the secret realm.

Li Wei's magic badge had already accumulated 42.75 credits.

The Tier Three and Tier Four skeleton monsters within the secret realm were basically all killed.

In the last half day, not one could be found.

Secret Realm Plaza.

Everyone was discussing who had the highest credits.

The level of credits in the practical course represented the strength of one's power.

Naturally, everyone was very concerned about this matter.

Often, those who could take the top spots were the same few individuals.

Kulu stood in the center of the crowd, he often received the honor of top ranks in the Orange Class practical course.

A figure walked out from within the secret realm teleportation gate.

He subconsciously took a look, revealing a look of surprise.

"You actually didn't die?"

Kulu let out an exclamation.

Attracting the attention of others.

They all turned their heads to look at Li Wei.

Everyone revealed looks of confusion, not understanding what Kulu was saying.

Only a few people understood why Kulu was so surprised.

Just as Kulu wanted to ask Li Wei how he escaped the Death Knight's pursuit.

Jasmine walked out.

After she came out, the secret realm teleportation closed.

Jasmine checked the students' credit acquisition situation.

Seeing the first place credits, she revealed a look of shock.
