Chapter 1099: The Contest Begins
Translator: 549690339
“Seventy percent? Hahahaha…” Ling Shiwei was so furious that he laughed. The gaze he used to look at Xia Ping ‘an instantly became incomparably sharp. On the taboo armor on his body, a faint green flame halo rose up, and a powerful battle intent surged from his body like a tide.” When my Ling Shi family dominated the hundred cities of the Divine Court, the Dragon Rearing family didn’t even have the right to participate in the Ancient God Descendants Alliance. Today, a junior of the Dragon Rearing family came here and wanted to swallow 70% of the benefits of Fu An Mountain. Do you think our Ling Shi family has no one?”
Following Ling Shiwei’s final roar, the sky turned gloomy and somber in the blink of an eye. Black clouds rolled in from all directions, and the sky turned dark. Lightning flashed like fire snakes in the black clouds. With a rumble, the sky changed color. This was the terrifying power of a Rank Five Hierarch God.
Lingshi Wansheng shook his head and said disappointedly,” 1 believe that Elder Chan’s presence here today represents the Dragon Rearing family’s sincerity. The reason why our Lingshi family was able to give up half of the benefits of Fu An Mountain was because Elder Chan was famous in the world and had a glorious battle record in the past. However, Elder Chan seemed to have only advanced to Rank Three Venerable God a few years ago. If it wasn’t for Elder Chan, any other family that couldn’t even find a Rank Five Venerable God would have been able to do so. Our Ling Shi family will not negotiate with the other party here at all. We will not leave even half of the benefits for them. So what if our Ling Shi family swallows this entire Fu An Mountain?”
“What else do I need to say? This junior is so arrogant. Today, 1’11 see just how strong this genius of the Dragon Rearing Family is.”Ling Shiwei called out from the side.
Xia Ping ‘an only shook his head. He was still as calm as ever, and his voice was as calm as an ancient well.” 1 didn’t expect Elder Wan Sheng to know my situation so well. A Rank Three Venerable God? That was in the past. I’d like Elder Wan Sheng to know that I’ve already advanced to Rank Four Venerable God, and I’m probably not far from reaching Rank Five Venerable God. I want 70% of the benefits from Fu’ an Mountain today because the Ling Shi family is also part of the ancient god lineage and has no conflict with my Dragon Rearing family in the past. The two elders have come together today to show their sincerity. Therefore, I left 30% of the benefits to the Ling Shi family so that the two families can live in harmony in the future. I don’t want the people below to pester me endlessly. The two of you must not treat my good intentions as malice…”
Hearing that Xia Ping ‘an had already advanced to Rank Four God Venerable Rank, the two elders of the Ling Shi family exchanged a look. Their expressions were slightly shocked, but also a little more serious.
This time, Shi Jialing had done a lot of preparation work before negotiating with the Dragon Rearing family. They had long known that Dragon Rearing Cicada had returned to the Dragon Rearing family to become an elder. According to the movements of the Dragon Rearing family, they guessed that the person who came to negotiate with them was most likely this genius expert of the Dragon Rearing family, Dragon Rearing Cicada. Moreover, Dragon Rearing Cicada had just advanced to Rank Three Divine Venerable a few years ago. Shi Jialing’s judgment was that it was impossible for Dragon Rearing Cicada to advance to Rank Four Divine Venerable so quickly.
One had to know that the advancement of a Supreme God Realm expert was a natural chasm. Ordinary Supreme God Realm experts might not be able to advance to the first level in a few hundred years. Those who could advance to the first level in a hundred years were all people with outstanding talent. Lingshi Wansheng had used more than 170 years to advance from the fourth level to the fifth level, while Lingshi Wei had stayed at the fifth level of the Supreme God Realm for more than 80 years. He still had not touched the edge of the sixth level. Therefore, when the two of them heard that Xia Ping ‘an was already a fourth level Supreme God Realm expert… That was why he was so shocked.
Was this genius of Dragon Rearing Family really that terrifying?
However, so what if the Dragon Rearing Cicada had advanced to Rank Four Venerable God? The Ling Shi Family had sent two Rank Five Venerable God Realm experts here. This Dragon Rearing Cicada really didn’t take the Ling Shi Family seriously.
Ling Shiwei took a deep breath. His voice was solemn and slightly cold,” In that case, Elder Chan’s conditions can be considered as giving our Ling Shi family enough respect and face?”
Xia Ping ‘an nodded his head.” Yes, Shi Ling chose a good time to negotiate with the Dragon family. If it was two years later, 1 could give the Shi family face. Only the two elders said that they had a half-become.””
“Looks like we can’t reach an agreement. Then we can only fight!”Lingshi Wansheng shook his head, and his expression immediately became extremely serious.” Elder Chan is only one person. How do you want to fight? Please draw the line, Elder Chan. Otherwise, outsiders will say that our Lingshi family is bullying the weak…”
“I’m free…” Xia Pingan said indifferently,” The two elders can do whatever they want!”
A hint of anger flashed across Lingshi Wansheng’s face. It was obvious that he had been angered by the arrogance of this genius of the Dragon Rearing family.” Alright, let’s have three matches. I heard that Elder Chan is quite accomplished in the art of mechanical puppets. In the first match, we’ll each take out a mechanical puppet to compete. In the second match, we’ll use 10,000 points of divine power as a limit to compete in summoning battle formations. In the third match, Elder Wei will represent the Lingshi family and fight against Chan Zha. We’ll see how powerful Elder Chan is as a Rank Four Godly Venerable. The outcome of each of these three battles would determine the ownership of 30% of the profits of Fu ‘an Mountain. Would Elder Chan agree?”
The negotiation between the Ling Shi family and the Dragon Rearing family wasn’t a battle of life and death. To put it bluntly, the two families wanted to show their strength while preventing the other party from becoming their mortal enemy. They wanted the other party to know how to retreat in the face of difficulties and make concessions in the distribution of benefits in Fu ‘an Mountain.
The three matches that Lingshi Wansheng had set up were actually very particular. Everyone had long heard that Dragon Rearing Cicada liked the art of mechanical puppets, but the Lingshi family did not know how powerful Dragon Rearing Cicada’s mechanical puppets were. Compared to Dragon Rearing Cicada, this elder of the Lingshi family, Lingshi Wansheng, had already become famous in the entire Divine Court Region for his mechanical puppets a hundred years ago. His personal strength was precisely the mechanical puppets.
As for the second battle of summoning battle formations, this was very popular among the ancient god bloodline families and experts in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm. This was a very traditional and very effective method of competition. This kind of competition was to summon battle soldiers and battle puppets to fight to the death within a limited range of divine power. In the end, the side that could summon a creature to survive would be considered the winner.
This kind of contest didn’t require the experts of both sides to fight each other. It maintained the dignity of both sides. However, the battle formations summoned by the two sides under the same divine power were extremely bloody and cruel. They had to completely destroy each other. This made it easy to distinguish the strength of both sides.
For Summoners, there was a universally acknowledged truth that the stronger the Summoner, the more powerful the Summoner’s summoned creatures would be. There were almost no exceptions.
Because the two elders of the Ling Shi family were both Rank Five Hierarch Gods, the elders of the Ling Shi family had an advantage in terms of cultivation level. The greater their advantage in cultivation level, the greater the boost they could give to their summoned creatures.
There was nothing much to say about the third competition. It was a direct one-on-one battle to determine the strength of the opponent. It seemed that the Ling Shi Family wanted to maintain their dignity. They didn’t send two Level Five God Venerable Rank Elders at the same time, but only sent the strongest Ling Shiwei. There was actually a deep thought behind this. If the Ling Shi Family’s strongest Elder, Ling Shiwei, wasn’t Xia Ping ‘an’s opponent, then even if a Level Five God Venerable Rank was lucky enough to win, such a victory would leave endless trouble for the Ling Shi Family in the future and provoke a great enemy. Such a victory would be meaningless.
If Xia Ping ‘an lost all three matches, then the Ling Shi family would also give the Dragon Rearing family 10% of the benefits of Fu An Mountain to preserve their face. It was a little better than the 5% they had previously given. This was probably the Ling Shi family’s concession after hearing that Xia Ping’ an had already advanced to Rank Four Venerable God. Facing such a talented Ancient God descendant family, for the sake of the future, even if the Ling Shi family had the advantage now, they couldn’t go overboard.
“Alright, I agree. Let’s compete for three rounds…” Xia Pingan nodded.” 1 was just about to witness Elder Wan Sheng’s mechanical puppet technique. Please help me, Elder Wan Sheng!””
At this point, there was no point in saying anything else. Coldstone Wansheng glanced at Xia Pingan and waved his hand. The space behind him suddenly turned fiery red. A strange-looking mechanical puppet was summoned by him and floated in the void.
The golem that Lingshi Wansheng had summoned had a diameter of more than 20 meters. It was like a huge armillary sphere with nine metal gears of different sizes. They were interlocked with each other and were rotating rapidly around a cube. The cube was covered with secret symbols and flashing with lightning. The nine metal gears were flashing with red light as if they were on fire. The outer edges of the nine metal gears were sawtooth-shaped and blade-shaped, with different shapes. Each gear was spinning rapidly, making a buzzing sound in the air. It was obvious that it was not easy to deal with.
Xia Pingan glanced at the golem that Lingshi Wansheng had summoned and waved his hand. A two-meter-wide black ball that looked like a carbon ball with countless protruding sharp horns and looked like a virus cell appeared behind him.
Looking at the black ball that Xia Ping ‘an had summoned, Lingshi Wansheng narrowed his eyes.” The golem that I summoned is called the Heavenly Treasure Wheel. The golem that Elder Chan summoned is so strange, I wonder what its name is?”
“I have made a fool of myself in front of Elder Wan Sheng. The name of this thing that 1 have summoned is not as mighty as Elder Wan Sheng’s. The name I have given it is called little guy…” Of course, this name was something that Xia Pingan had thought of on the spot. In fact, the black ball of winter was formed from the conical octahedron that he had created on the flying ship. During the past few days when he had nothing to do in the Dragon Rearing family, Xia Pingan had created some conical octahedron. That black ball of winter had already condensed more than ten thousand of the conical octahedron that Xia Pingan had created..
