The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 739 To Avoid Torment

Black chuckled awkwardly at Daniel's assertion. "Heh," he laughed, then sheepishly admitted, "You caught me."

"But you said you could split this Magic Stone with one punch, didn't you? Well, go on, do it! I want to see if you have the ability to crack this Magic Stone open," Black challenged.

"Alright!"

Instead of using his fist, Daniel gently patted the Magic Stone with his palm twice, then addressed it casually, "Magic Stone, oh Magic Stone, would you rather crack open by yourself, or would you prefer I do it with a punch?"

Daniel's words were met with scoffing from Black. "Heh," Black sneered, his face full of disdain. "Country boy, I thought you might actually have some skill. I was beginning to believe you could really split this Magic Stone with a punch! Turns out you're just full of hot air, huh? Do you really think this Magic Stone will listen to you? What kind of joke is this?"

"And how do you know that this Magic Stone won't listen to me? It might seem silent and inanimate, but this Magic Stone is quite sentient. It understands everything I say. More importantly, it's also quite clever and knows what's right. So, to avoid torment, it'll definitely crack open obediently," Daniel replied confidently.

Black responded with another derisive laugh. "Country boy, what did you say earlier? You talked about sparing the Magic Stone from torment? This Magic Stone is the one to be spared? If you punch it, aren't you the one who's going to experience the agony? Your fists are flesh and bone; do you really think they're harder than this Magic Stone? Remember, the hardness of this Magic Stone exceeds that of a diamond - by at least ten thousand times."

Ignoring Black's mockery, Daniel continued to gaze at the Magic Stone with a grin. "Come on, Magic Stone! I've given you plenty of time to think. Have you decided yet? If you're ready, split open now! I'll count to three. If you haven't cracked by then, don't blame me for throwing a punch."

After issuing his final notice, Daniel began to count. "One! Two!"

Before he could even reach "three,"

That's when the cracking sounds started. The unmistakable sounds of stone splitting apart.

Black was dumbfounded. He

couldn't believe his eyes; the Magic Stone was actually splitting open.

"How... How is this possible?" he muttered in disbelief. "This

real! It's impossible!"

"How could this happen? How could a Magic Stone listen to some country bumpkin?"

Muttering to himself, Black was a picture of disbelief.
