Berserk God of War

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1414: Target—Seizing Territory for the Yao Residence

”Yes, we also advised Venerable Ba Lian on this, but she truly no longer wishes to move.”

”Moreover, she has focused on the two Soul Dominator Secret Realms in the west and north for a long time, but no talent has been able to obtain the inheritance within.”

”In addition, with Ba Lie Venerable’s various attacks and conspiracies recently, Venerable Ba Lian said she is too tired...”

The crowd fell silent at these words, imagining Venerable Ba Lian’s current mood. Even though there are still hopes in two Soul Dominator Secret Realms, she is utterly disappointed, feeling no sense in continuing this way.

Perhaps she thinks the Soul Dominator Venerable doesn’t want to see her anymore, maybe love has turned into hatred.

At this moment, Yang Yi said in a low voice, ”If it weren’t for me obtaining the Soul Dominator Venerable’s inheritance, perhaps it would’ve been...”

Before he could finish, Duanmu Chun quickly interrupted, ”It’s not your fault, achieving the Soul Dominator inheritance is your skill. Venerable Ba Lian is already of age, she would eventually reach this point sooner or later.”

With Duanmu Chun’s deep voice, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence once more.

Indeed, Venerable Ba Lian was quite irresponsible, and it was not good to give up searching for her husband now, but the truth was laid before everyone—it was no longer viable to rely on her...

Thus, the real question the crowd faced was how Duanmu Chun would use Overlord Commerce’s power to protect Sikong Jing.

Suddenly, Yao Yulou broke the silence once more: ”Actually, there is still a way to regain stature within Overlord Commerce.”

As everyone focused on him, Yao Yulou’s eyes glinted coldly...

”The district battles are about to begin.”

”If Sikong Jing represents my Yao Residence in the district battles and crushes Gong Ying and East Dominator Commerce’s people in the process, Brother Duanmu will catch the attention of Overlord Commerce’s Heavenly Deciders because of your performance.”

These words rendered the whole hall silent, with Yang Yi and the others showing flashes of brilliance in their eyes.

They were well aware of what the district battles were.

Sikong Jing, however, was still bewildered, having no knowledge of this matter.

But before Sikong Jing could inquire, Yao Yulou continued in a cold voice: ”Not only should Sikong Jing put down Gong Ying and those currently from East Dominator Branch... Yang Yi, Weng Ting, you can also represent my Yao Residence to fight.”

”If possible, directly stomp East Dominator Branch down to the Haner Second District.”

”Let the Heavenly Deciders know what a grave mistake it was to appoint Gong Ying to succeed the East Dominator Grand Dominator Decision position in Overlord Commerce.”

With Yao Yulou’s words, the hall turned quiet again.

Just then, Duanmu Chun furrowed his brows, saying, ”I’m afraid it’s not possible to defeat them. The district battles involve not only the youth’s combat but also contention among those below the Emperor Martial stage. Yao Residence only has you, Brother Yulou, at that stage, and I can’t represent Yao Residence in the battle.”

”Even if I did represent, it would be only the two of us.”

At this, Sikong Jing quickly sought information about the district battles...

Weng Ting and Zhang Duiyi swiftly explained it to him. After detailing the district battles, they further elaborated on the rules: the district battle consists of three rounds.

Or rather, three different matches!

Specifically: the youth battle, the fight among those below the Emperor Martial stage, and the Soldier Formation Master battle.

To secure a place in the Hanyi District, one must achieve a leading position in all three battles.

”Yes, and also the Soldier Formation Masters’ duel. Yao Residence doesn’t hold an advantage in this area either.”

Duanmu Chun spoke again in a low voice. If he could make a move, there would certainly be no issue, but he still couldn’t represent Yao Residence.

Young ones like Sikong Jing could, but he, being of too high a rank in Overlord Commerce, was certainly out of consideration.

Although Yao Yulou also worked as a Soldier Formation Master, it wasn’t his main focus.

By then, only Yao Yuzhi could return to Hanluan City to represent Yao Residence, yet her expertise in Soldier Killing Arrays was also lacking.

Though Yao Yulou’s expression remained unchanged, he opened his mouth slowly, ”Ten years ago, I alone secured a foothold in the Haner Second District. Today, ten years later, I can also win a place in the Hanyi District, so the Emperor Martial battles don’t require concern.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chun opened his mouth, saying, ”Brother Yulou, you are only in the second Great Realm of the Emperor Martial stage...”

But before the words finished... Boom!

Yao Yulou suddenly exploded with True Qi, instantly surging from the second Great Realm of the Emperor Martial stage to the third Great Realm, causing Duanmu Chun’s eyes to widen, forcing him to stand up involuntarily.

Sikong Jing’s eyes similarly gleamed. Yao Yulou finally truly unleashed the power of the third Great Realm.

Previously, he had always kept it hidden.

However, it was expected; since the assassination of the envoy from Qianwang Holy Tower months ago, he could now openly unleash his power, without any issue.

”I’ve made a breakthrough, and even though I’ve recently reached the third Great Realm of the Emperor Martial stage, I still have confidence in securing a position in the Hanyi District.”

”The one I will crush is the Netherworld Guardian!”

Yao Yulou’s eyes were full of confidence. Though the Great Realm splits into five Small Realms, he might not match up to the Netherworld Guardian in the Small Realms.

Yet he, nevertheless, has immense confidence in himself.

Duanmu Chun clenched his fist tightly, then looked again towards Sikong Jing with furrowed brows...

”Although the Emperor Martial aspect may seem settled, the youth battle still poses some issues.”

”The district battles are restricted to those under thirty, so mostly the Spirit Martial stage talent will play as the main force, and there may even be individuals from the Heavenly King Realm; it’s hard to guarantee victory.”

Approaching thirty is still considered youthful.

In some major forces, talents at this age have achieved the terrifying Spirit Martial Stage Heavenly King Realm.

In this aspect, they presently have no one.

Sikong Jing was only in his early twenties, and Weng Ting and others hadn’t reached twenty-five, so they were relatively weaker due to fewer years of cultivation. How could they possibly compete with talents from major forces several years their senior?

”Top forces like the Sacred Canggu Peak have talents with Sixth Grade Battle Bodies.”

Duanmu Chun spoke lower: ”Furthermore, I’ve heard Gong Ying has brought along a disciple with a Sixth Grade Battle Body.”

Such words made the atmosphere in the hall slightly oppressive again.

”Moreover, even if Sikong Jing can surpass everyone in battle, Qianwang Holy Tower could still label him as a ’Demon.’”

While Sikong Jing may not be able to beat an existence in the Heavenly King Realm with a Sixth Grade Battle Body, it would be terrifying nonetheless if he did, and labeling him as ’non-combatant’ for such across-realm battles would be like what happened to Pei Yufeng back then, getting tagged with a ’Demon’ label.”

By then, everything would be over.

But in response, Sikong Jing merely smiled and asked, ”How long till the district battles?”

Soon, he got the answer: about half a month...

To this, Sikong Jing smiled calmly, saying, ”Then it’s not a problem. In half a month, I should reach the Spirit Martial Stage, and probably not just the first Great Realm of Spirit Martial.”

Though Sikong Jing didn’t know which realm he’d reach upon attaining the Spirit Martial stage, it certainly wouldn’t be limited to Spiritual Battle Realm.

He had suppressed his realm for long—it would undoubtedly be terrifying upon breakthrough.
