Chapter 252: Two Choices for the Second Place!
Not long after the appearance of the first reward, the second reward, which everyone had been eagerly anticipating, appeared as well.
[2nd Place Reward on the Weapon List: Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit]
[Significantly enhances physical strength, whether for a Heavenly Path Saint or anyone below that realm!]
Shrouded in black-purple chaotic mist, dragon patterns appeared on the fruit. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it seemed to contain countless dragons. Even through the livestream, one could almost hear the desolation of the chaos and the roars of the dragons deep within.
The introduction was brief, just a single sentence, but it clearly conveyed the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit's effect—greatly enhancing physical strength, even for Heavenly Path Saints, showcasing how powerful the fruit was.
Both choices had their merits, leading many to believe that this decision would be quite difficult.
While the Dao Fragment was incredibly rare, its actual value was rather abstract. Comprehending Dao Laws required a certain level of talent, and the higher one's talent, the more they could gain from it. If one's talent wasn't great, or their luck was poor, they might gain very little from it. How much this reward would yield depended entirely on Ye Tian.
But the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit was different. This item offered a direct boost in power. After greatly enhancing physical strength, it would undoubtedly cause a massive surge in the user's strength.
The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit and the Nether Chaos Fruit from the first-place reward were remarkably similar, though they enhanced different attributes—one increased mana, the other physical strength. Together, they could comprehensively elevate one's abilities.
Fortune smiled on Ye Tian, as he had obtained both. However, while he had already chosen the Nether Chaos Fruit, the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit was yet to be picked.
Some people, thinking more simply, believed Ye Tian could just choose the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit to directly enhance his strength. They thought the Dao Fragment might not provide the expected results.
[Sun Wukong: Is there even a choice here? If it were me, I'd pick the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit right away. That Dao Fragment is too vague. If luck isn't on your side, you might end up with nothing!]
[Erlang Shen: You're still a simple-minded monkey. Even the Saints haven't spoken yet, and here you are, with your meager strength, shouting about it? If everyone chose based on your thinking, they'd end up with the worst outcome. Even if Ye Tian chooses, his reasoning will certainly differ from yours!]
Although both rewards were excellent, Sun Wukong believed the best option was the one that could directly boost one's power. Erlang Shen, however, argued that since both rewards were presented simultaneously, they must be of the same caliber. The key was choosing the one that would yield the most.
[Li Jing: Ye Tian is incredibly strong and knowledgeable. These are things we've never encountered before. Only Saints might have heard of them. Only beings at their level can make the best choice for themselves!]
[Haotian, Jade Emperor: Both options are possible. The Dao Fragment is rare, and if one can comprehend enough Dao Laws from it, it would be fantastic. But if not, it could be a major letdown. The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit offers a guaranteed boost in strength. Deciding between the two will indeed be difficult!]
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Our perspectives are entirely different from that of the Saints. No matter how much we discuss, we'll never guess Ye Tian's true intentions!]
[Houtu: If it were up to me, I'd choose the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit. The Dao Fragment isn't suitable for the Wu Tribe; we would gain very little from it. But we don't even know what Ye Tian's strength is. It's hard to guess what he truly desires.]
The Wu Tribe had always prided itself on physical prowess, and every member sought to infinitely enhance their physical strength, aiming to match the body of Pangu. Though Houtu had become a Saint, her physical strength hadn't improved much, as she had attained Sainthood through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, not through her own breakthroughs.
Thus, after becoming a Saint, her body was still far from reaching physical Sainthood, a feat she likely could never achieve. The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit, however, could enhance physical strength, and for someone like Houtu, it could potentially help her attain physical Sainthood. Yet, she could only dream of it, as this reward was out of her reach. She was equally puzzled as to what Ye Tian might choose.
[Fuxi: I feel the Dao Fragment is better. Even if physical strength is enhanced, it's just an earlier achievement; the body will continue to grow. However, the opportunity to comprehend Dao Laws is rare. The Dao Fragment is especially valuable, and treasures that enhance physical strength are even rarer. Missing this chance means it may never come again!]
Fuxi's physical body wasn't particularly exceptional, so even with significant enhancement, it wouldn't make much difference. He valued the comprehension of Dao Laws far more. If the chance to comprehend Dao Laws appeared before him, Fuxi would undoubtedly choose it.
[Laozi: Both rewards are excellent, but choosing between them is quite difficult! Sigh!]
[Tongtian: In the end, it depends on what Ye Tian truly wants, or if he has confidence in comprehending the Dao Laws. After all, comprehending a Dao Law is much better than just enhancing physical strength!]
[Zhunti: But choosing the Dao Fragment carries a risk. If you only comprehend a little, it wouldn't be worth it. In that case, choosing the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit would be better!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit is the safer choice. If you want more, you must be willing to take a big risk!]
[Jieyin: If one successfully comprehends the Dao Fragment, it would be far superior to the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit. Both rewards are tempting. Ultimately, it depends on how Ye Tian decides!]
The Saints had varying opinions—some favored the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit, others the Dao Fragment, while some were torn between the two.
