…

“Ahem, head of the Dunn family, would you want to continue to put out your bet now.” The director standing at the round table shouted out.

At the Dunn family tower, many of the dedicated warriors shouted and roared at Leylin and Lenoir family, clearly indicating their displeasure.

Fredrick also dazed out for a second, then he thought, ‘Where did this little bastard came from? Giroh is at Third Sky of Nascent Realm, his strength is no less than a Human Realm warriors after Blood Vigor Pill, how can this kid so easily defeat him….There is no meaning in sending others at Nascent realm and getting them hurt for no reason, maybe I should send him. It might be a bit degrading but the win would be worth the effort.’

“Xerxas go!”

Just then, Fredrick Dunn shoutout and said, “we are not going to end the wager, and invite a battle with the Lenoir family again! Three mines and Curious Inn!”

Leylin didn’t show any emotion, he looked indifferent, and stood in the arena waiting as the arena boiled with rage, anticipation and excitement.

“Ahem, head of the Lenoir family, you can put out your bet now.” The director standing at the round table shouted out.

Eren looked at the slim yet confident and arrogance filled figure of Leylin and squinted his eyes making a bold decision.

“Phoenix City! Our family bets the authority to the whole city! If the Dunn family wins, our family will cede the authority for Phoenix City immediately!”

This led to another great disturbance in the crowd, everyone started gossiping and chatting again.

Phoenix City was a big city in the Merchant Union, and the Lenoir family had been holding the authority to the city for decades. Now Phoenix City had been branded with the Lenoir family’s name.It could be said that Phoenix City was where the Lenoir family’s influence was deepest. Now Eren Lenoir was putting up the authority for Phoenix City as a bet, was he going insane?

“Big brother!”

“Master!”

Everyone in the Lenoir family were on their feet as they looked at Eren Lenoir in disbelief. All of them started requesting him to take back the bet vehemently.

“Stop trying to persuade me! My mind is set!” Eren stubbornness was back, and with a straight face, he sneered, “It’s either make or break! I will take the risk this time!”

Everyone in the Crystal family and the Delaney family were also stunned, clearly they didn’t understand either.

Ian Ashdown dazed for a moment, then sighed and said quietly, “Now there’s no turning back for Brother Eren. Although Berkan is definitely strong, it’s not as if the Dunn family have no one at Human realm.”

“Okay!” Fredrick suddenly stood up, and shouted loudly, “You can’t take this back now!”

“Take it!” Eren took the deeds from his personal pocket, and passed it to the director who came towards him. Then he shouted coldly, “Fredrick, your little bet is not enough!”

“I will add three more mines!” Fredrick scowled, then sneered, “It’s a sure win match, doesn’t matter how much more I add, after all it will still belong to the Dunn family in the end!”

Soon, the director took the bet from the Dunn family up to the round table, then suddenly roared, “The match starts!”

“Let the battle begin!”

The referee’s announcement officially started the much anticipated battle.

Another warrior from Dunn family, about 6 feet tall appeared dominantly at the center of the arena, and said proudly, “Xexas of the Dunn family. Human Realm, First Sky. Please enlighten me!”

Xerxas was wearing a cold and arrogant smile.

In an instant, streams of electricity came out of his body, materializing into electric snakes.

Those electric snakes intertwined around his whole body, which made him look dazzling.

Xerxas, a warrior of the First Sky of the Human Realm, stood in the battle arena with pride, while electric snakes were circling all over his body. His Lightning Martial Spirit was apparently way more powerful than Mary, Dimitri and Giroh.

Xerxas is a bastard left by one of the direct descendants of Dunn Family, quite in fact he is the only living member of Fredrick’s decreased little brother side. Xerxas mother was an average direct descendant member of the Dunn family, although her treatment wasn’t bad her father was dead and she wasn’t much talented.

She then fall in love with a servant and conceived a child with him, this greatly infuriated the Dunn family and many elders take it upon themselves to punish them both. Sadly, both of them committed suicide shortly after being apprehended leaving a child behind.

When it was the time to judge the innocent newborn, Fredrick intervened and firstly checked if the kid had the Martial Spirit, which he did.

That kid was Xerxas, who become the target of other despise and disdain but through his sheer willpower and talent he kept pushing himself further and further using extremely questionable and harsh brutal means to accomplish his strength. At the age of 27, he’s at the First Sky of Human Realm and is almost ten years older then Berkan(Leylin) but even still he’s a talented member of the Dunn family and an assest that Fredrick took great care of after he showed promise.

Xerxas glanced at the Dunn family and his face gradually turned incomparably pale, those electric snakes kept twisting around his body, looking hideous and seemingly wanting to eat people.

“The Petrification Martial Spirit of the Lenoir Family is said to be the king of close range battle in the Merchant Union. Hehe, I will give you a chance. Come near me and fight!” Xerxas stood still and burst into laughter with arrogance and pride filling his face, not caring about Leylin a bit.

“That guy is way too arrogant!”

“Well, he is in the position to be arrogant. The Lightning Martial Spirit of his is way stronger than that others. The result is quite clear now!”

“Exactly, the Lenoir Family will have a nasty failure for sure.”

Around the battle arena, the warriors standing on the high green stone building were all shaking their heads although Leylin and Xerxas are both the first realm it is clearly visible that Dunn family is using underhanded means and the current Xerxas is by no means at just the First Sky Realm level.

Even on the Lenoir family’s side a big portion was in bad mood, sighing with frustation yet maintaining a bit of hope.

“Good eyes you have, they reek of hatred but I wonder, is this really pointed towards me?”

With his usual indifference, Leylin slowly stepped towards Xerxas at a leisurely pace, as though he thought nothing of him.

“Tell me, do you perhaps have a wish buried deep inside your heart somewhere?” Leylin dark eyes met Xerxas who was momentarily stunned from the clear and cold gaze that were ripping apart all his layers and seeping straight into his soul.

While walking, Leylin’s body petrified gradually and his skin grew dark brown with a hidden masked tint of green underneath.

“I only wish to rip you apart!” Xerxas regained his composure and smiled coldly with his pale face, as he stood still and waited for Leylin to approach.

“Don’t wish unto others what you don’t want others do unto you?” Leylin shook his head with a smile. As he replied, he was within three metres of Xerxas and he suddenly vanished like before.

“Guard!”

“Humph!”

Immediately Xerxas yelled in a low voice and the electric snakes coiling around his body came to life.

Those electric snakes flew out and dashed everywhere around him in a second.

“Damn!” Thomas cried in fear, “He was just baiting Berkan to attack, it doesn’t matter the direction he would eat a loss!”

“Dodge!” Kenneth(Leylin uncle)couldn’t help but cry out.

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

Leylin suddenly appeared before Xerxas and looked chill despite the attack coming towards him.

The electric snakes were as thick as thumbs and separated at once as if they were alive, entangling the ring from all directions, not leaving any gaps.

“Bad!” Thomas eyes were full of fear, as he sighed with pain, “This kid has no chance against someone like Xerxas who’s almost the peak of First Sky of Human Realm and probably at Second Or Third after eating that damned pill! Shit, we are going to lose!”

“Not surprising!”

“There is no suspense. I guess he won’t even have the slightest chance to fight back.”

Around the battle arena, those warriors were all feeling sorry for Leylin, as they shook their heads in sorrow, seeming to know the result.

It turned out just as everybody assumed!

Xerxas seized this opportunity and immediately rushed towards the reemerged Leylin. With a [Verdant Crescent Slash] in his left hand and a [Green Light Ball] in his right hand, he struck his opponent who was being entangled tightly by electric snakes.

“Boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom!”

The [Verdant Crescent Slashes] and [Green Light Balls] were shooting like a hail, and covered Leylin in an instant.

Under Xerxas’s intense attacks, nobody could clearly see Leylin who was buried under the lightning, and they simply guessed he would lose for sure.

One after another electric slashes flashed with green light, and the audience saw the arena clearly again.

Leylin was still standing there with his right hand forefinger raised and hadn’t moved. He was not hurt in the slightest and not even a small crease on his clothes.

“Hmm?”

“What happened?”

“It can’t be true?”

As the green light dissipated and the warriors saw Leylinclearly, they couldn’t help but rub their eyes, surprised by Leylin who was still standing in the arena like a mountain.

Elrod Crystal also raised his head from his teacup and looked at Leylin in astonishment. He frowned and mumbled, “Weird.”

Fredrick expression changed, but he still kept calm and just grunted once.

Eren’s body quivered once and a bright light crossed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he pressed one of his hands to the stone stool and became excited.

“Big brother!”

“Family Head!”

Thomas and other family warriors looked to Eren at the same time, with joy and confusion on their faces.

“Keep on!” Eren yelled, as his mouth trembled a bit.

Though still feeling confused after what they heard, Thomas and those ministers of the Lenoir family got huge expectation of Leylin.

In the arena.

Leylin surrounding was still entangled by the electric snakes, but not a single snake come near his body and after using his Petrification ability, he felt nothing, as he still maintained an indifferent smile on his face.

“Your power is weak, but your will is not. Tell me do you wish for more.” Leylin moved his lips but no words came out and except for Xerxas who heard a hissing sound inside his ears no one heard anything. Although Xerxas couldn’t find how the voice came directly into his head, he could still strangely understand the hissing.

“Fuck you, just die motherfucker!” Xerxas shouted as he struck towards Leylin again and again venting his frustation.

“You can’t kill me.”

With his hands stretched, Leylin concentrated his negative energy, his devour force that had mingled with his Profound Qi and gushed out from his arms, turning into five small invisible swirls which floated around him.

These swirls created by the [Gravitational Field] combined these three types of energy, which slowly floated around him.

The swirls were invisible to anyone. Apart from Leylin, in this huge field, with the optimization of A. I. Chip with dozens of Martial Skills knowledge not even a Sky Realm warrior like Elrod Crystal could sense it.

“It’s no use!” Under the gaze of the audience, Leylin slowly walked forward unbothered in least about the attacks, he looked cold but Xerxas kept hearing voices that other don’t.

The sound of hiss kept ringing in his ears making him enraged and irritated, “You can’t even hurt me when I stood there and didn’t fight back. How would you take your revenge against members of one of the five big families in the Merchant Union with skills like yours? There is no use but to accept your loss and bow before a greater power, I can give you what you desire if you show me your worth.”

“Kid, you are seeking death!” Xerxas’s face changed suddenly and became even paler. He dashed over with a stern face toward Leylin, and he began to kick towards him like crazy.

“Boom boom boom! Bang bang bang!”

Xerxas’s hard attacks dropped upon Leylin, while the arena was filled with green light and strong Profound Qi began to spill everywhere.

“I am not your enemy Xerxas, your enemy are those just watching from the comfort from their tower on their couch as their house dog fight with his life on the line for them. Don’t you think your anger is misplaced?”

To everyone else, under Xerxas’s attacks, Leylin was unmovable like a mountain and couldn’t stop shaking his head, ridiculing him with crueler and crueler words, “This rage let it burn your enemies not your supporters!”

Xerxas eyes were red in anger and frustation locking his eyes on to his family members with hate burning in them, he howled and triggered all his potential at once. He turned his head and jumped towards Leylin again and started sending out another rain of punches.

“Bang!”

However, Leylin simply stretched one finger and pierced straight through his fist like a sharp sword through tender meat. That one finger thrust skewered Xerxas hand completely.

“Ahhhh!!!”

“Boring.” Leylin grunted in disappointment as he got rid of the electric snakes and kicked Xerxas in the face.

“It seems my charming skill without using the corrupting Qi of Rampage is still not very good but despite of that, I have made remarkable progress considering how I can use only 10% of my skills without activating Rampage.” Leylin shook his head, “Speaking of skill, the Gravitational Field is very handful for sure.”

Leylin looked around himself and snapped his fingers making the five swirls dance around him.

“Disperse!”

Those electric snakes, which were crawling all over him, broke away inch by inch!

The shattered electric sparks dispersed all around the arena.

“Be careful!”

“Damn it!”

The warriors nearest to the arena shouted and hurried to operate their Profound Qi to defend against those electric sparks.

Neelam’s bright eyes were shining with an odd light as she nodded at Leylin and smiled, “Well, this guy is even stronger than I thought.”

“Big brother!”

“Family Head! Wh… what is going on here?”

On the other side, Thomas and the other family ministers all looked to Eren in surprise.

“It’s fine. It’s just that the Dunn family is too weak.” Eren responded briefly, following Leylin’s directions. Suddenly the feeling in the air had become fresh.

Fredrick stood up with a green face. He stared at Xerxas and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

After getting rid of the electric snakes, Leylin stared at the A. I. Chip readings about his improvised Gravitational Filed as started strolling towards Xerxas, who lifted himself up from the ground and rushed towards him in a desperation.

At that moment!

Xerxas’s body suddenly halted midway. Something invisible had entangled him tightly. The harder he struggled, the more his body was affixed. At last, he stopped like a statue.

There seemed to be an invisible wicked energy around him that had grabbed him and immobilized him.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know! What’s wrong with Xerxas?”

“…”

The arena burst into clamor at once.

Leylin came near Xerxas with an indifferent face and slowly stretched out his hand. His fingers stabbed into his limbs like five sharp spears.

“Crack! Crack!”

The clear sounds of bones breaking came from his bones.

“Crack! Crack!”

Another two similar noises came from his shoulders.

“Paa!”

Xerxas was totally immobilized in front of Leylin unable to even scream. He couldn’t even fall on his knees.

“You wanna go down, sure I will allow it.”

*Pa*

Not a single bone in his joints were connected. Pathetically falling in front of Leylin in front of such a huge crowd made him roar insanely, “I am gonna kill you!”

“Is that really what you want as your life go…?” Leylin looked cool, continuing to speak when suddenly his A. I. Chip scanned an unusual reading from the corner of his eyes.

[Beep! Sky War Signal detected, advising host to proceed with immediate plan.]

“It’s here!”
