Berserk God of War

Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Demon Beast Core of the Martial Battle Realm

Dong...

Just as the entire crowd fell silent at the appearance of the number one genius on the Thousand Tyrant List.

Chou Zhan’s heavy footsteps echoed as he stepped into the banquet hall, walking in under an extremely eerie atmosphere.

Every footprint was stained with bright red blood.

But within the red blood, there seemed to be streaks of black, a sign of poisoning.

Everyone’s breathing became rapid, wondering why Chou Zhan, in such a state, was not seeking a doctor, but instead attending a banquet.

Though Overlord Commerce valued the competition of quotas greatly,

they generally did not intervene in such matters among geniuses. Even though Chou Zhan was the number one on the Thousand Tyrant List, it did not mean they would heal him. Overlord Commerce always believed in letting geniuses develop freely.

Especially in the current context, they would never show favoritism.

Suddenly, Chou Zhan stopped his steps and looked at the people in the hall, rasping, ”Who is Gongyang Ying?”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes fell on Gongyang Ying.

Then they realized she was standing right next to Sikong Jing, and they all speculated on what Chou Zhan wanted with Gongyang Ying.

Gongyang Ying opened her mouth, bewildered, as she had only heard of Chou Zhan and didn’t actually know him.

Eventually, Gongyang Ying stepped forward and replied, ”I am.”

Chou Zhan nodded slightly, then stepped forward to her and said, ”Heal me, and this will be your reward.”

His voice was devoid of emotion, and then a golden light flashed in his hand, revealing a demon beast core that glimmered with golden light. He further explained, ”This is the core of a Martial Battle Realm Moon Swallowing Beast, is it enough?”

With these words, Guo Zixia trembled violently, as this was the very demon beast that the Heavenly Dao Academy had sent to intercept Chou Zhan.

This beast was given to them by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land, and now only its core remained.

Guo Zixia’s face continued twitching, heartbroken to the extreme.

Of course, he could not show it, definitely could not let the Beichou Sword Sect discover that the Moon Swallowing Beast was sent by them.

Simultaneously, it was clear that Chou Zhan could not have slain the Moon Swallowing Beast alone; it was definitely done by the Martial Battle Realm experts of the Beichou Sword Sect.

Damn Beichou Sword Sect, they’re too powerful.

With Chou Zhan’s words, everyone understood why he was here. He wanted Gongyang Ying to heal him. Everyone knew her grandfather, Gongyang Ren, was a famous Great Doctor, so naturally Gongyang Ying was skilled as well.

Instantly, the eyes of all the geniuses in the room focused on Gongyang Ying, their gazes filled with unusual colors.

Gongyang Ying was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for the moment.

Suddenly, Shang Fu spoke coldly, ”Junior Sister Ling, do you think Junior Sister Gongyang should heal Chou Zhan?”

His tone carried a faint killing intent.

Anyone could hear the implications in his words that if she dared to heal Chou Zhan, Gongyang Ying would become his enemy.

The top of the Thousand Tyrant List, the solitary disciple of the Beichou Sword Sect, none of the Three Great Academies wanted Chou Zhan to recover.

As long as he died, there would be one less enemy.

Ling Feiyan, of course, understood this logic. Upon hearing it, she immediately advanced coldly, ”Ah Ying, no matter how good the core of the Moon Swallowing Beast is, it cannot compare to the rewards of heading to the Central Plains. You must think it through and don’t act rashly.”

This statement was both advice and a stern warning to Gongyang Ying.

At the same time, Guo Zixia and Fu Jiaoxing revealed eyes filled with cold intent. If Gongyang Ying dared to heal... she would die!

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing narrowed his eyes, smiling as he looked at Gongyang Ying.

The latter didn’t respond to Ling Feiyan but trembled violently, even more at a loss. The Moon Swallowing Beast’s core would be incredibly useful to her Moon Soul Battle Body, but that was not the key issue.

The key issue was... her grandfather had said that a healer must have the heart of a parent!

As long as it’s not an enemy, as long as it’s not a heinous villain, you must heal if you can... What’s most important is to not betray your own heart, not to let profit cloud your eyes.

Chou Zhan was a patient, and according to rumors, he was not a villain.

She really wanted to heal him, not wanting to go against her conscience, but healing him would offend almost everyone present.

In the quota battle, perhaps she could follow Chou Zhan...

But what about her grandfather? What about the War Soul Dynasty? That would directly set them against the Three Great Academies.

She also understood the Beichou Sword Sect’s solitary nature, and even if she healed him, they might not protect the War Soul Dynasty and her grandfather. Even if they promised protection, the Beichou Sword Sect had too few people to deal with the vast Three Great Academies.

Her mind a mess, but when she met Chou Zhan’s gaze, her entire body trembled again.

In Chou Zhan’s eyes, there was no fluctuation; he was merely waiting for her response. Yet, deep in his eyes, one could see pain, the pain of enduring the severe suffering and discomfort.

If it were an ordinary person, they might already be rolling on the ground or fainting in agony.

This was a patient, a severely ill patient.

Suddenly, she turned back to see Sikong Jing’s half-smiling eyes; this damned villain was mocking her, mocking her lack of courage to defy everything, mocking her for having medical skills without medical ethics.

And Sikong Jing indeed had the right to mock her.

Because no matter how detestable he was, no matter how unscrupulously he used to bully her, he was unafraid of any oppressive force, a genius who resisted terrifying entities like the Three Great Academies.

”Gongyang Ying, are you hesitating?”

”If you hesitate any longer, get immediately kicked out of Xingluo Academy’s battlefield, and we will regard you as a person to be killed without fail.”

The Cross Saber Sect’s Nu Guang issued a chillingly sharp warning.

Simultaneously, Shang Fu’s gaze turned ice cold to the extreme.

Ling Feiyan warned again, ”Ah Ying, if you dare heal Chou Zhan, we will have no sisterly bonds. He, Chou Zhan, is not anyone to you. Is it necessary to hesitate so long?”

Instantly, Gongyang Ying felt extremely troubled, but suddenly bit her lip and said, ”I...”

She finally decided to face the difficulty head-on.

In truth, she had no real sisterly affection with Ling Feiyan; the latter’s master, the sect leader, was healed by her grandfather. Just because of another patient, she was going to sever relations with her. What kind of sisterhood was that?

At that time, at most, she could follow Chou Zhan and fight to the death against the Three Great Academies.

As long as the Moon Soul Battle Body erupted and successfully entered the Central Plains, the Three Great Academies wouldn’t dare to touch her grandfather...

Of course, this was extremely risky because she didn’t even know if she could heal Chou Zhan.

Ignoring it anymore was impossible. If she didn’t treat him, Chou Zhan might die, and she saw a hint of death in Chou Zhan’s eyes.

However, just as she gritted her teeth to make the decision...

A faint voice interrupted her, ”Miss Gongyang, if you won’t treat him, then let me do it.”

With these words, Gongyang Ying’s entire body trembled slightly, and her resolved determination suddenly collapsed as she subconsciously turned to look at Sikong Jing.

The speaker was the demon who had always bullied her.

And he stood up at this critical moment, was it because he saw her dilemma and deliberately wanted to help her?

Sikong Jing did indeed want to help her, having seen Gongyang Ying’s healer’s heart and her readiness to bear immense pressure to heal Chou Zhan, he deliberately interrupted her decision and stepped forward.

But Sikong Jing would not explain this, nor did he acknowledge her presence as he approached Chou Zhan, asking, ”I’ll treat you. After healing, give me the Moon Swallowing Beast’s core, and I also want the corpse of the Moon Swallowing Beast, how about it?”
