Chapter 978 - 976: Lin Wushuang’s Thoughts
"Because Xiaoyu is an Ice Element inheritor, when she entered the Land of Extreme Cold before, her reaction was just like yours—very intense towards the extreme temperature."
Chen Tianlong didn’t hide anything; he simply omitted a series of awkward incidents that happened in between.
For instance, when Shen Yan broke through, her clothes were blasted off, leaving her naked.
"What, Lu Xiaoyu is an inheritor, then I want it too!" Chen Tianlong never expected that Lin Wushuang’s answer would be like this; truly, it was astonishing.
This inheritance is not candy that you can get just by wanting it. Luckily, Lin Wushuang’s physique is special; she’s probably a Fire Element inheritor.
"Wushuang, the process of inheriting isn’t fun; it might be extremely painful—do you still want it?" Chen Tianlong wasn’t trying to scare her; it was just a fact.
"Yes, no matter how painful it is, I want to be an inheritor. Because only then can I help you—I don’t want to be a little girl who only makes you worry anymore."
Lin Wushuang’s answer made Chen Tianlong feel a wave of emotion; he was deeply moved.
Chen Tianlong didn’t continue speaking. He tightly embraced Lin Wushuang, and they stood for a full ten minutes before starting to move forward.
The temperature kept rising, reaching the limit for Chen Tianlong, and Lin Wushuang began to take off her coat as she started to feel hot, too.
As they got closer, the temperature increased, and the two were sweating profusely. But this was still not enough—the place ahead looked like a burning volcano, continuously sending out heat waves.
After ten minutes, they finally stood at the entrance of a gigantic cave. The design here was similar to the previous Ice Cave, only that side was filled with severe cold, and this side was fiery hot.
Of course, there was no fire inside this cave. It was a circular altar at the center releasing waves of heat, actually shockwaves.
These heat shockwaves followed a pattern, bursting out waves of heat repeatedly, making the two uncomfortable as they were hit by them.
Chen Tianlong was drenched as if it were raining, so he stripped down, leaving only a pair of shorts. Lin Wushuang, being a girl, despite the heat, kept wearing a shirt and pants, allowing the heat waves to keep hitting her.
"Chen Tianlong, if I’m an inheritor, how can I inherit the legacy?" Lin Wushuang had never experienced such a thing, so she naturally didn’t know how to do it.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong let out a bitter smile; he didn’t know either. Lu Xiaoyu’s inheritance happened when he was unaware, and by the time he found Lu Xiaoyu, she was overwhelmed by cold air, with ice spikes constantly piercing her.
At that time, Chen Tianlong even thought Lu Xiaoyu was dead, but it turned out she was receiving the inheritance, which had shocked him.
"Wushuang, I also don’t know. Lu Xiaoyu was at the center absorbing cold air while undergoing cold-induced heartache and ice spike attacks, looking very painful. I think, Wushuang, maybe we shouldn’t." Chen Tianlong said worriedly.
He was more than willing to protect Lin Wushuang, but sometimes it really felt overwhelming.
Lin Wushuang listened and chuckled, but she gritted her teeth and began walking toward the center. Chen Tianlong was startled; though he originally didn’t want to go, if Lin Wushuang went and something happened, it’d be a disaster.
So, Chen Tianlong followed quickly.
Soon, the two reached the center of the extremely hot part of the cave. As they stood in the middle, their feet almost sizzled and smoked.
"Holy crap, it’s so hot!"
Chen Tianlong jumped in surprise, hopping around, unable to stay still.
However, Lin Wushuang found it strange; she felt nothing special, just waves of heat creeping into her body, as if she could absorb it.
"Chen Tianlong, I seem to be absorbing the heat; does that mean I’m receiving the inheritance?" Lin Wushuang scratched her head and asked with a wry smile.
"Well, I’m not really sure either." Chen Tianlong replied, smiling bitterly, as he kept jumping.
Lin Wushuang covered her mouth, finding Chen Tianlong’s jumping quite amusing.
Nevertheless, Chen Tianlong felt strange; logically, heat entering Lin Wushuang’s body suggested she was receiving the inheritance, otherwise, it wouldn’t be happening.
After jumping for several minutes, Chen Tianlong felt it wasn’t as hot anymore, assuming the heat had disappeared. He planted his feet firmly, only to realize the temperature hadn’t changed—he simply didn’t feel the burning sensation anymore.
Moreover, he was astounded to find heat creeping into his body—what was happening?
Could it be that everyone who enters here has heat automatically seeping into them, meaning Lin Wushuang was not inheriting after all?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong let out a bitter laugh; if that were the case, he’d made a big mistake thinking Lin Wushuang was an inheritor.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s odd expression, Lin Wushuang curiously asked.
"Wushuang, I may be mistaken; you might not be an inheritor!" Chen Tianlong said awkwardly, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Oh, I’m not!"
Lin Wushuang, evidently disappointed, had her hopes dashed just as she was filled with confidence.
However, just then, Lin Wushuang’s body started to lift slowly, halting mid-air.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, thinking something had happened, and he rushed forward to try and pull Lin Wushuang down, but suddenly discovered a protective barrier around her.
"Whoa, a pink Powerful Qi?"
Chen Tianlong was completely dumbfounded; he never would have guessed, and in an instant, pink Qi surrounded Lin Wushuang—indicating her power was at least above Celestial Dao.
"Wushuang, how are you feeling now?" Chen Tianlong realized it wasn’t that simple; this scene was familiar, reminiscent of Lu Xiaoyu’s inheritance.
Could Lin Wushuang really be...
Chen Tianlong seemed to have thought of something and quickly shouted, "Wushuang, you might be undergoing inheritance, but I can’t foresee what will happen next. You should try using your thoughts to see if you can stop it."
"Chen Tianlong, I don’t want to stop..."
Upon hearing Chen Tianlong mention the possibility of inheritance, Lin Wushuang became extremely excited, with no thought of stopping.
"But what if it’s really painful?" Chen Tianlong worried.
"If Xiaoyu can do it, why can’t I?"
Lin Wushuang looked at Chen Tianlong with firm eyes, "Chen Tianlong, do you think I’m weak—even weaker than Xiaoyu?"
"Wushuang, what nonsense are you thinking; you’re the bravest." Chen Tianlong was taken aback and didn’t understand why Lin Wushuang had such thoughts, becoming a bit anxious.
