Chapter 39: Could There Really Be Such a Monster in This World?
"Can you really break my seal?"
Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Hai Bodong's eyes flickered with uncertainty, clearly showing some hesitation.
Hai Bodong feels hesitant. Emotional value +80
"Do you even know who placed the seal on me?"
However, Hai Bodong quickly showed a hint of mockery in his eyes, saying, "You're just a youngster, and you dare to claim you can break a seal that has stumped me for decades?"
Hai Bodong feels disdainful and doubtful. Emotional value +80
"Haha, it seems that to convince you, I'll have to reveal my strength..."
Hearing Hai Bodong's mockery, Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head. At that moment, he stopped deliberately concealing his aura. A dominating presence emanated from him, instantly causing Hai Bodong to freeze in place, his pupils dilating.
"How is this possible?"
"This aura... Even Queen Medusa wasn't this powerful!"
Hai Bodong feels shocked. Emotional value +80
"This young man, at such a young age, possesses such terrifying strength. It seems he really might be able to break my seal!"
A glimmer of hope rose in Hai Bodong's heart, though he also felt a growing apprehension toward Gu Fei. Such a monstrous talent was beyond anything he had imagined.

"Haha, there's no need to worry, old man. Since I offered a trade, I won't resort to robbery..." Understanding Hai Bodong's feelings, Gu Fei said with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Fei had intended to take it by force, there would have been nothing he could do. The aura Gu Fei had just revealed was so overwhelming that even without the seal, Hai Bodong wouldn't have been his match.
"Young friend, to be honest, I was once one of the top ten experts of the Jia Ma Empire, Hai Bodong. You've probably heard of me, right?"
Hai Bodong's manner of addressing Gu Fei had changed from "boy" to "young friend," and as he spoke, he seemed to harbor a bit of expectation.
"I've heard of you!"
"The Ice Emperor's reputation is quite formidable!"
Hearing this, Gu Fei nodded.
Hai Bodong's face showed a hint of pride at Gu Fei's response. He thought to himself, "Even after being in hiding for so many years, my fame still lingers in the empire!"
"So, where exactly are you from, young friend?" Hai Bodong continued to ask.
"I'm not from the Jia Ma Empire!"
Gu Fei replied directly, "I came here because I heard that a Heavenly Flame appeared in the Tager Desert, so I came to find it!"
Beside him, Little Fairy Doctor was not surprised by this; Gu Fei had already mentioned his search for the Heavenly Flame to her.
"I see!"
Hearing this, Hai Bodong became thoughtful. He didn't doubt Gu Fei's words. After all, a place like the Jia Ma Empire was unlikely to produce someone as monstrous as Gu Fei. Perhaps only the vast Central Plains could give birth to such a prodigy.
"Young friend, you just said you're willing to break my seal. Are you serious?"
The next moment, Hai Bodong finally brought up the matter of his seal.
"Of course!"
Gu Fei nodded confidently.
Hai Bodong's seal was placed by Queen Medusa. To break it, one could either use a high-level antidote pill or forcibly break the seal. With Gu Fei's current strength, breaking the seal wouldn't be difficult.
"Very well. If you can indeed break my seal, this remnant map is yours. Additionally, after staying here for decades, I can also provide you with some information about the Heavenly Flame as a token of gratitude..."
Having received Gu Fei's affirmative answer, Hai Bodong also showed his sincerity.
"Just this one remnant map won't be enough!"
After Hai Bodong offered his terms, Gu Fei smiled and shook his head, saying, "One side of this map has some markings that differ from the other. It's clear that the map was split into two parts!"
"I didn't expect this kid not only to have immense strength but also to be so meticulous..." Hearing Gu Fei's words, Hai Bodong's expression changed slightly, once again feeling surprised.
Hai Bodong feels shocked. Emotional value +80
"Young friend, you're right. This map was indeed split into two. I've hidden the other part. If
you break my seal, I'll give you the other remnant map as well..."
After hesitating for a moment, Hai Bodong nodded.
Until the seal was broken, he had no intention of handing over the second remnant map.
"Let's get started then!"
Gu Fei didn't hesitate. Breaking a seal wouldn't take much time.
"How do you plan to break my seal?" Hai Bodong asked.
Over the years, he had tried various methods to break the seal, even finding a recipe for a pill called the "Breaking Adversity Pill." However, the pill required a 6th rank alchemist who also happened to wield a Heavenly Flame. Moreover, he was missing one crucial ingredient.
"This kind of seal can be broken directly with Dou Qi!"
As soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, a scorching Dou Qi surged from his palms.
The intense wave of Dou Qi made Hai Bodong's face turn pale instantly.
Before he could react, his body was enveloped by Gu Fei's powerful Dou Qi.
Immediately after, a vast amount of Dou Qi began pouring into Hai Bodong's body.
In no time, Hai Bodong's body trembled violently, and his wrinkled face suddenly tightened.
At the center of his forehead, an eerie, ghostly blue energy rapidly gathered.
Moments later, it formed a small, ghostly blue energy snake pattern.
These snake patterns were the key to sealing Hai Bodong's Dou Qi.
Now, Gu Fei only needed to completely obliterate these patterns to break the seal.
"The next part might be a bit painful. Prepare yourself!"
Gu Fei warned Hai Bodong, then swiftly moved his hands, releasing a surge of energy from
within Hai Bodong's body.
"Ah!"
In that instant, Hai Bodong's veins bulged as he endured immense pain.
However, the pain didn't last long. Soon, the snake patterns were forced out of Hai Bodong's
body by Gu Fei's Dou Qi.
As soon as these snake patterns left Hai Bodong's head, they began to tremble violently before dissipating into a wisp of smoke.
At the moment the snake patterns left his body, Hai Bodong's tightly shut eyes suddenly
snapped open.
A sharp glint shot out from his eyes like a tangible beam, and a fierce aura, like a lion awakening from years of slumber, erupted from his body.
"Haha, this damn seal is finally gone!"
"I am a Dou Emperor once more!"
As the seal was broken, Hai Bodong's face was filled with wild joy, and he threw back his head
and laughed heartily.
