Protect Our Clan Leader

Under Wang Luoqiu’s fierce and ruthless onslaught, amid the onlookers’ gasps of amazement, the Wood Type Wang Baosheng was pounded into pieces punch after punch.

After finishing the fight, Wang Luoqiu casually picked a bottle of [Sacred Bloodline Aptitude Enhancement Liquid] from the Hero Rankings rewards, then went back to the stands, already losing interest.

As she passed by Wang Baosheng, she even solemnly patted his shoulder. “Baosheng, you’ve got to work hard in this life.”

“Yes, Grand Aunt Luo Qiu.” Wang Baosheng nodded, his face burning.

“Now it should be my turn, right?”

Princess Hua Rui once again started rubbing her fists in eagerness, but this time, she was pressed back down by Wang Luo Jing.

Wang Luo Jing glanced at her, and said quietly, “Little Butterfly, you’re still young, no rush. I’ll go first this time.”

All these years, as the new-generation Saintess of the Sacred Gu Clan, ruling over her own territory, she had accumulated a heavy, imposing aura, and her presence was extremely strong.

The moment she stood up, countless youngsters couldn’t help but cast admiring looks her way.

“Grandmother Luo Jing, what you said makes so much sense.” Princess Hua Rui backed down with teary eyes.

Wang Luo Jing and Wang Luoqiu, the two sisters, had been competing with each other since they were kids. Their cultivation base and bloodline talent were almost evenly matched. This time, of course she wasn’t going to fall behind.

As Hua Rui stepped down, Wang Luo Jing quickly and smoothly lay down in the assessment pod.

The simulation pod was incredibly powerful; it could even simulate an Insect Master’s bloodline and fighting style.

Some time later.

The young version of the Divine Martial Saint Emperor ended his “glorious” life amid the endless torment of “Ten Thousand Bugs Devouring Body.”

“Congratulations, Your Highness Luo Jing…”

“A big tank of Chaos Essence, thanks.” Wang Luo Jing cut off Artifact Spirit Jiu Xiao’s long-winded speech and went straight back to the stands.

As she passed by Wang Baosheng, she patted his shoulder with deep meaning. “Baosheng, you’ve also got to work hard in this life~”

“Yes, Grandmother Luo Jing.” Wang Baosheng’s face wasn’t red anymore, but had gone faintly pale.

Even though the one suffering “Ten Thousand Bugs Devouring Body” was just the virtual young Saint Emperor, whose face didn’t even look like his current self, he still felt a chill down his spine during the process, like countless bugs were tearing his whole body apart.

Too damn creepy~

“Anyone else going up?” This round, Princess Hua Rui had learned her lesson. She stood straight up and asked, “I, Hua Rui, respect the old and cherish the young the most.”

“Let me give it a try.” Wang Shouye raised his hand and stepped out, getting ahead of Princess Hua Rui.

“Uh… Old Ancestor Shou Ye, please, after you.”

Then, Wang Shouye started the war mode.

To be honest, Wang Shouye’s combat power was pretty average, but he had a high bloodline and had already obtained [The Crimson Mist Immortal Scripture] ahead of time. On top of that, Wang Shouye at least possessed a Fire Element Bloodline, could refine Rank 9 Dan medicine, and his fire control skills had reached a masterstroke level. In a real fight, with that fire control alone, he could drag things out for quite a long time.

These years, he’d been sitting in command of the Wang family’s Alchemy Department. Even though he didn’t much like handling mundane affairs, after so many years he’d still dealt with plenty of matters. When it came to managing subordinates, coordinating different parties, and making the best use of people, he had developed his own set of insights.

With his level, managing a corps-sized army and directing them in daily training or whatever posed no problem. And with his aptitude, once he entered the assessment pod he would be granted Advanced Stage True Immortal Realm strength. As long as the corps under him could perform normally, plus his own boost in power, victory would naturally be his.

So, all the way until the final stage, it was an effortless stomp for Wang Shouye.

But once he faced Baosheng, the two sides still went back and forth for quite a while.

What could he do? Shou Ye’s army-command skills were pretty mediocre too, totally not on the same level as the Divine Martial Saint Emperor in his youth. Several times he almost fell right into the traps the other side had laid. In the end, he relied on his overwhelming individual strength to repeatedly pull off clutch saves at critical moments, barely keeping himself from falling into a disadvantage.

And his powerful alchemy skills gave him a huge edge. As the only Pill Master in the Divine Martial World currently capable of refining Rank 9 Dan medicine, his alchemy level absolutely crushed the Divine Martial Saint Emperor’s. In a prolonged battle, the supply of Dan medicine slowly turned into a major advantage.

In the end, by relying on his own formidable alchemy abilities and the overwhelming power of his “Advanced Stage True Immortal Realm” cultivation, Wang Shouye forcibly turned the tide bit by bit, and finally burned the young Divine Martial Saint Emperor to death in roaring flames.

This Saint Emperor sure had it rough—he’d already been farmed and exploded four times in such a short span.

Wang Baosheng was starting to go a little numb.

After the mission was settled, Wang Shouye took the [Sacred Artifact] reward. He returned to the stands, handed the Sacred Artifact to his fourth brother Wang Shouzhe, then made a small detour back to pat Wang Baosheng on the shoulder. “Baosheng, you’re not fighting alone in this life~”

In an instant.

Wang Baosheng’s tears welled up.

The elders at home were way too monstrous.

However, his heart felt warm. And those invisible pressures that had been haunting him deep inside also seemed to have quietly dissipated a good chunk.

Yeah, with such a bunch of monstrous elders fighting alongside him, what was there for Wang Baosheng to be afraid of in this life?

He told himself, Baosheng, you must be strong.

Wang Shouzhe shot him an encouraging look, then withdrew his gaze and turned to the Sacred Artifact he had just received.

Sacred Artifact, Hao Tian Eye!

Looked decent, seemed actually useful.
