Chapter 1008: Second Match, the Fire Dragon King
With the fall of the Adamant Nymph Emperor, the Adamant Nymph clan had already approached Ning Chen'en several times, asking whether he would be willing to take up residence in Adamant City. Things weren't stable in the Golden Mammoth clan either, and many of the elders there believed he should go, as it would essentially place both cities under the control of the Golden Mammoth clan.
But the Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor had instructed that they would discuss the matter again after the conclusion of this tournament. So, for now, it was shelved.
Regardless, Ning Chen'en still maintained strong ties with the Adamant Nymph lineage. The contestant now representing the Adamant Nymph clan was actually a Great Demon King elder Tang San had met before during his... visit to Adamant City. In the first round, that elder had just barely made it through by relying on his formidable defenses. But now, in the second round, he clearly seemed depleted.
A figure descended from the skies. Today's judge was none other than the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor.
"Contestants, prepare," he ordered.
"No need. I concede."
The Adamant Nymph elder bowed deeply toward the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor, then nodded to Ning Chen'en before leaving the platform.
Ning Chen'en blinked in surprise, but his expression softened. He sighed. He knew that this was a sign—he really had to consider whether he should go to Adamant City.
He identified more with his Golden Mammoth lineage, and the fact of the matter was that if he stayed in a nymph city, he would likely be suppressed by the Solstice Empire. He was mainly a demon, after all. Yet, being a city lord meant access to vast resources, and Adamant City was most certainly not lacking resources even compared to other main cities. And now, without an Emperor overseeing it, resource allocation would be even more flexible.
Returning to the rest area, he found Tang San standing outside, not yet having gone in.
