Chapter 2251: Trump Card, Our Genius Demon
Sikong Jing nodded with a light smile, saying, "Suppression is good."
For Sikong Jing, in order to protect Yinlu and other sacrifices of Demon Scale Island, Elder Ruan must be suppressed as harshly as possible.
Regarding this, War Tiger asked, "Have you reached the Spirit Martial Stage?"
He naturally understood Sikong Jing’s meaning; the lower Elder Ruan’s status, the happier Sikong Jing would be when he exploded.
At that time, whatever Sikong Jing said, Elder Ruan would gladly agree.
"Almost reached."
"I’ll prepare first, and then please lend me some ’guidance’ again, War Tiger senior."
Saying this, True Qi surged through Sikong Jing’s entire body without stopping.
Indeed, in half a month’s time he had reached the Peak of the Martial Battle Stage, but in terms of Beast Veins it was still unchanged; Human Clan meridians still couldn’t nourish Beast Veins, likely until reaching the Emperor Martial Stage.
However, Sikong Jing wasn’t in a rush, deciding to break through them one by one.
As for the Demon inheritance, Sikong Jing certainly wasn’t sure if he could obtain it, but it didn’t matter; at that time he’d just hand something over to Elder Ruan and the Cangyu Sect, pretending to have obtained the inheritance.
The Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill he could produce was definitely something neither the Demons nor the Cangyu Sect had, so it shouldn’t be difficult to fool them.
War Tiger listened to Sikong Jing and was slightly stunned, then secretly chuckled bitterly, once again needing to guide him...
Yet he said nothing, for supposedly guiding Sikong Jing meant he could also gain the attention of the Cangyu Sect. Perhaps three years later, he could secure a few more spots to prevent more clansmen from being used as sacrifices.
As Sikong Jing’s True Qi circulated throughout his body, the inheritance atop the cliff began.
Still it was the Holy Martial Elder Bu Tun who spoke: "All young Demons, enter the Inheritance Land..."
The Inheritance Land, like a large bowl, seemed small from below but was actually vast, enough for all young genius Demons to step inside. One by one, they were thrown into it by the elders of the Cangyu Sect.
Dong dong dong...
One by one, genius Demons entered, creating heavy impacts.
But in just an instant, the faces of genius Demons changed dramatically, and immediately... wailing!
The sound of miserable wails and the spitting of blood suddenly reverberated from within the Inheritance Land. Then, one by one, young genius Demons didn’t know what power would harshly propel them out...
They turned into meteors, crashing into the main group and landing.
Witnessing this, Sikong Jing naturally took note during his cultivation; he knew what was happening.
As War Tiger had said, the rules of inheritance were extremely simple and brutal.
Those genius Demons without the qualification to receive the inheritance would be immediately expelled by the power of the Inheritance Land, just like this scene... Those who were qualified would continue to stand within the bowl-like depression.
As genius Demons were expelled one by one, the elders of the Cangyu Sect remained indifferent.
With such height and impact force, even Spirit Martial Stage Demons hit the ground would be gravely injured if not killed. But to the people of the Cangyu Sect, a genius that couldn’t accept the inheritance was no longer considered a genius.
Just an ordinary Demon, dead or alive, mattered not to the Cangyu Sect.
But... swish swish swish!
Experts like War Tiger indeed moved to rescue, soaring swiftly into the sky, catching each genius Demon and placing them back down; almost ninety percent of them were expelled.
This meant only ten percent of genius Demons remained in the Inheritance Land.
At this point, War Tiger lifted up the young Demons of their Wu Team and, after placing them down, said to Sikong Jing during cultivation, "The remaining ten percent of genius Demons will receive the inheritance."
"Witness who lasts the longest; the longer a Demon persists, the stronger and more abundant the inheritance they receive."
Sikong Jing understood...
Some would persist a short while, acquiring naturally weak inheritances, perhaps an insignificant Martial Skill.
Others would persist longer, receiving various potent Secret Techniques.
At this moment, Sikong Jing glanced briefly at the young Demons taken back by War Tiger.
Counting them, it turned out they were all the genius Demons of their team...
That meant Elder Ruan’s supposedly genius Demons had all been instantly eliminated without a single one remaining.
Looking up again, he saw Elder Ruan hovering in the air, his expression grim beyond measure.
Suddenly, three Outer Sect elders of the Cangyu Sect approached Elder Ruan, one of them snickered, "Elder Ruan, why were all of yours eliminated yet again? This is the umpteenth time, isn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ruan’s face was even darker.
Before he could reply, a second Outer Sect elder chuckled, "Elder Ruan, I believe you should focus on cultivation. Luck isn’t an annual thing; at this rate, three years later you won’t qualify to enter the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain."
As his status in the Outer Sect decreased, naturally he wouldn’t qualify to lead a team to the Divine Demon Island.
Then the third Outer Sect elder laughed, "It’s unlikely that you’ll keep stepping in dog crap every time."
Their sarcasm made Elder Ruan grit his old teeth audibly...
Their mention of dog luck referred to War Tiger, who was once found by Elder Ruan as a genius Demon, making Elder Ruan briefly unmatched among Outer Sect elders, as if exhausting all luck.
Not only failing to reach the Emperor Realm himself, but his recent batch of genius Demons were eliminated immediately each time.
That’s struggling from worse to worse, the more glorious in past, the more despondent now.
Now other Outer Sect elders seized every chance to sneer at him, leaving him unable to retort.
Every time the Absolute Array Gate opened, he hoped for a great turn around, yet was repeatedly disappointed.
Elder Ruan felt too embarrassed to remain outside the Inheritance Land. He growled at the three, "Out of the way..."
They smiled slightly without any intention to move.
One of them even chuckled, "Elder Ruan, you should stay and watch the inheritance; each of us has genius Demons receiving it, and we’ve made bets. You should witness it for us."
What nonsense witness, merely wanting him to stay and watch their smugness.
Tiger fallen from profound mountain mocked by dogs!
Elder Ruan almost exploded with anger, trying to push through but unable to, as the three were stronger.
Seeing this, Sikong Jing slowly withdrew his gaze, "War Tiger senior, we can begin."
War Tiger felt a tremor within, then shouted to the air, "Elder Liu, don’t bully too excessively."
As his voice fell, the three Outer Sect elders abruptly looked at War Tiger, with Elder Liu at the lead tauntingly said, "War Tiger, you may just be a lowly Demon, even if reaching the Emperor Realm never forget your humble status."
Being rebuked by a lowly Demon was irritable for anyone from Cangyu Sect.
However, War Tiger coldly chuckled, "I certainly haven’t forgotten my status, but I represent Elder Ruan, and Elder Ruan still has an ace up his sleeve. You rejoiced too soon."
War Tiger’s words made the surrounding people simultaneously pause, an ace?
Even Elder Ruan was puzzled, when did I have an ace, why don’t I know?
In the next moment, War Tiger suddenly pointed towards Sikong Jing, though the gesture carried no power; War Tiger merely cooperated in Sikong Jing’s performance, while Sikong Jing was naturally... boom!
His entire True Qi exploded, a surge of Peak Martial Battle Stage True Qi shot skyward then instantly transformed into Spirit Martial Stage True Qi.
This scene stunned everyone around, even Elder Ruan was taken aback.
War Tiger then slowly retracted his finger, saying, "This is Elder Ruan’s ace; we have another genius Demon."
