“Dear all!”
At that moment, an elderly man dressed in a black magic robe went up the fighting ring. In a clear, bright voice, he announced cheerfully, “Welcome to the last day of the qualifying round, everyone! I am your host for today, Norman Obote!”
The host’s voice was clear and resonant as he went on. “First of all, let us welcome His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen with a passionate round of applause!”
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause rang throughout the arena.
“Next, the King will grace us with a few words!”
Clap, clap, clap!
The centermost private room’s door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery-red dragon robe walked out. He stepped on thin air and walked in the sky, taking step by step toward the area above the arena.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone’s gazes in the arena fell simultaneously onto the man, their eyes carrying looks of reverence, respect, and worship.
His physique was full of power and grandeur and was lofty and majestic!
His eyes were sharp, awe-inspiring, and imposing!
His head of long, fiery-red hair flowed freely and uncontrolled, and he gave off an aura so powerful that it made one’s heart tremble. He was as though the blazing sun in the sky, so blinding that it made one’s eyes hurt, afraid to raise their heads to look at him.
The number one expert in the kingdom—Flit the 66th!
A powerful, pure-blooded Saint Domain Fire Dragon and the current Fire Dragon King with a reign of 637 years and counting!
“So that’s the Fire Dragon King!”
Meng Lei’s eyes focused on him, an impossibly huge sense of pressure coming over him. He had a certain feeling—if the Fire Dragon King wished to, he could definitely kill him with just a smack of his palm. The gap between the two of them was akin to the gulf between heaven and earth!
“I’m still too weak!” Meng Lei sighed inwardly. “The most I can do is just bully the experts below the Saint Domain realm. When up against a Saint Domain, I have no chances of victory at all.”
At this exact moment, a light ball that shone with a fiery-red glow dropped from the Fire Dragon King. Then, the system’s voice notification aptly rang out.
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fire-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment!”
Wait a minute! A fire-elemental Laws of Nature fragment?
Meng Lei’s eyes widened dramatically, and he almost jumped off his seat.
A fire-elemental Laws of Nature fragment?
Oh my god!
I’ve actually picked up something like that? Hurry! Assimilate it!
Meng Lei let out a shout in his mind.
Boom!
An incomparably vast and boundless wave of information suddenly gushed into his mind. Just like a breached dam, they ran amok in the depths of his mind.
An endless amount of comprehension of the Fire Element surged into his mind like a tidal wave. Meng Lei felt as though the only thing that remained in front of him at the moment was a sea of fire.
Other than fire, there was still only fire!
The amazing thing was that these flames completely formed from Fire Elements were no longer just shaped purely with Fire Elements. Rather, all of them were connected to one another via innumerable red threads.
Dense, concentrated red threads covered every inch of the flames, shrouding the entire sea of fire in them and connecting every granule of Fire Elements.
The red threads were in complete control of the Fire Elements’ dancing and burning. If the dancing Fire Elements were puppets, then these threads would be the strings controlling the puppets.
Meng Lei had a feeling that with just a light tug on any of the threads from him, he would be able to induce a dramatic spike in the flames’ might.
Of course, he could also extinguish the flames anytime he wanted.
“Fire-elemental... Laws of nature?” Meng Lei murmured to himself as he instinctively reached out and plucked out one of the threads.
Whoosh!
The flames instantly went out, and the sea of fire vanished.
Meng Lei shook his head a couple of times, his senses abruptly coming back to him. It was only then that he discovered that the Fire Dragon King—Flit the 66th—had long since ended his speech and returned to the private room.
Instead, there were currently two contestants fighting it out in the fighting ring.
“I wonder how much time had gone by just now?” Meng Lei murmured under his breath.
He clearly remembered that the events just now had spanned only a split second, yet it seemed like a long while had actually gone by...
“Huh? Why is there a change in the stats interface?”

There’s an additional Laws of Nature comprehension field now?
What does the 0.1% at the back mean? Is it a comprehension meter?
A shrewd glint flashed across the depths of Meng Lei’s eyes as he gazed at the additional field in the stats interface.
It’s probably related to the Laws of Nature fragment that I picked up just now. I wonder if I can use my Wealth to redeem points for it?
It would be awesome if I can!
Alright, I’ll give it a go?
Meng Lei silently ordered, “System! Redeem one billion gold coins and add them to my Laws of Nature attribute!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth value instantly decreased by one billion gold coins. True enough, the
