Over the course of these three days, Yue Congrao personally looked after Xu Yangyi's body and explained a few confusing points about cultivation . Upon cultivating to late Foundation Establishment, Xu Yangyi had also gained his own original viewpoint of his body . Under the dual verification of Yue Congrao's great momentum and his own comprehension, he actually felt his newly advanced late Foundation Establishment cultivation become a little more stable .

Three days later, twelve o'clock . Xu Yangyi had already adjusted his mood to peak steadiness . There wasn't a single qi obstruction in his entire body . Following the chime of the clock, an expanse of gentle golden holy light flashed underneath him . In the next moment, he vanished from the formation constructed under him .

The view in front of him slightly blurred . In the next second, a red-hot current assailed his skin, and deafening cheers sounded at his ears . Although the voices did their best to stay quiet, the sound of discussion was still a great clamor . It was like the air was going to combust .

He opened his eyes, and a massive ancient western arena greeted his eyes . It was no less the size of a soccer field, and there were fifteen levels of audience seats looping around in total .

There were delicately carved status that were a full twenty meters tall, a monotone order of armored knights . In their right hands they held torches, and in their left they held shields . The shields were engraved with an eagle circling a cross . Their torches burned with a great blaze no less than thirty to forty meters in size that illuminated the horizon, causing the stars to pale .

Red fire dragged out the mottled marks of time and shined on the 800-square-meter arena . The color of the floor flickering with spotted shadows wasn't clearly visible, but one could see spider-web cracks and dark bloodstains . The fire shined on the dozens of surrounding giant torch-bearing statues, bringing out their divinity and solemness .

The place Xu Yangyi appeared was the House of Corvinus's master terrace .

Swoosh… In the instant he was transported, the torch of the giant statue behind him exploded for a hundred meters! Countless indiscernible talismans floated up and down inside .  

Crack crack .  The giant masked statue unexpectedly raised its head . Followingly, a soft sound of falling sand and stones rang out . Two red beams fired out of the statue's eyes and covered Xu Yangyi .

In the arena, the originally intense sound of discussion and the excited fervor instantly calmed . In the next second, though, a deafening clamor erupted!

“His Highness the Master Spirit-Technician!”

“The first match! His Highness the Master Spirit-Technician is here!”

“God… this is the first time I've seen a master spirit-technician!”

“His Highness ascended the stage himself! This has never happened in the past decades!”

At this moment, the cries of the Count-rank cultivators, whom their families brought to experience the world, were shouting about anyone who was participating in the Holy War . All of the contestants were apex powerhouses in the West . Perhaps they were weak during this Holy War, but not just any one could enter the Holy War . All the warriors were characters that would raise a brow in America's cultivation world .

Even Master Spirit-Technician X, who had the lowest realm on the surface, was like this as well .

Not to speak of his mid Marquis attainment, Xu Yangyi's master spirit-technician status and the Holy White Cross Association standing behind him was enough to make anyone feel deep veneration .

The excitement and exhilaration was comparable to Qi Condensation cultivators seeing high-level cultivators, but Marquises had to be a lot calmer . Numerous gazes lingered over the most recent master to shock America . Xu Yangyi smiled as he raised his head and looked around . Apart from the House of Dracul, almost everyone was smiling and nodding at him .

“That's Mr . X . ” In a group of dwarves, there was a dwarf with a headful of golden-ringed braids, a beard as tall as he was, and blond hair just like wheat . “Are our people in his group?”

“Hahaha, we really are in his group . But then so what?” A dwarf with two beard braids laughed heartily, “Even with the Greatbear's son's power, that elf might only move up and down by three places at twelfth place . Mr . X can't possibly get to the next round, either . Look… he's practically weaker than our smallest blacksmith . He's not just weak, but easily broken . Just like air-dried corn… Mr . X will black right out when the power hits him . His strength comes from his clever mind and profound knowledge, not…”

He brushed Xu Yangyi with a disdainful eye . “His delicate body . And power that exists in fantasy . ”

“His confidence is swelling; he doesn't even know what he's up against . In an hour, Althorne will surely win—of course, that's considering the worry over the Holy White Cross Association's prestige . ” A dwarf with a big braid used his elbow to rib the other and winked . “Just because of the existence of master spirit-technicians and the Holy White Cross Association, Mr . X's status is a big problem . Luckily, though, this problem isn't ours . Did you see the look on those haughty elves' faces? They look like they ate dogshit, hahahaha!”

But not only him, everyone was paying attention to the Elves's action . After Xu Yangyi appeared, all the elves, and even their Grand Duke . who was as handsome as a sun god and sitting at the very front, couldn't help but furrow their brows .

And behind him, almost all the elves were huddled together and quietly discussing something . The debate appeared to be quite intense .

“Althorne absolutely cannot lose . But at the same time, we absolutely cannot injure the master! The Holy White Cross Association will hold quite a grudge for that fellow,” a woman wearing an exceptionally crafted circlet on her head said lowly . She didn't have pupils, but the whites of her eyes were faintly shining like two bright moons . “Don't forget, Mr . X himself is a peak expert of herbology and pharmacology . I don't think I need to say how much help a master spirit-technician who can stir a Holy Shadow can be to us elves, who are close to nature . ”

“Then, Althorne will lose? Are you joking? What a terrible joke!” An Archdruid with leaves draped over his shoulders and the cowl of a wolf on his head knitted his brows together . “I believe this isn't a fair fight . It's just like a bunny standing together with a big bad wolf . Even if the bunny bravely jumps, it's not the wolf's match . The difficulty is in Mr . X's safety and how we win . This is a farce! An actual farce!” 

“He's only a bookworm master spirit-technician . Oh god, I can't even dare to imagine if Althorne will rip that delicate body to shreds . They're going to be the world's most precious shreds!”

“Althorne and X are just like an adult and a child . Even if it's play, a super strong adult will still hurt a weak infant! We can't leave ill will with any master!”

Meanwhile with the House of Corvinus, a high Marquis that Xu Yangyi had never seen before smiled as he stuck out his hand . In a firm manner, the lycan gripped Xu Yangyi's hand . “Mr . X, I'll offer you congratulations for your victory in advance . ”

“Mr . X . they don't dare to hurt you . Please be at ease . ”

“Oh, believe me, if he dares to hurt you then the House of Corvinus will make those ladyboys pay the corresponding price . Ah, no, ten times the price!”

“May the Moon God guide you to victory, sir! Please relax, in our investigations, Greatbear's Son's proper rank is eleventh place . ”

Xu Yangyi wore a dull smile on his face and shook hands with each person .

While there was warmth in their handshakes, it was a pity that their smiles never reached the bottom of their hearts .

This was silent contempt .

But the Corvinus were not alone . Everyone present was like this as well .

No one had expectations of him .

They reason why they were being sincere was because a battle devoid of suspense had a foregone conclusion . Without conflict of interests, and if it weren't for the respect of his status as a master spirit-technician, perhaps there wouldn't even be this fake charity-like comfort .

Maybe… there would also be applause and encouragement after he lost? So he wouldn't be in a completely awkward situation?

Wasn't this considered the greatest mockery?

People… as expected had two faces . Even living creatures similar to humans were like this as well .

But at this time, an hourglass erupted with a white-gold brilliance . All the golden grains of sand inside flew out and instantly displayed a golden screen of light that spanned the entire arena .

All discussion and optimistic voices came to a dead-stop . It was replaced by a touch of caution brimming with killing intent .

“The fourth Holy War begins now,” an old voice rang out from the first row .

Among the five phantasms, not a single one of them wasn't a Grand Duke .

The voice belonged to an old man whose face was covered in wrinkles . There were even age spots that dotted his visage . In spite of this, when he spoke the surroundings were so silent that a falling needle could be heard .

This was the deep respect for Core Formation .

He was the Holy Whip, Lawrence, the overseer who kept watch over New York and guarded the Holy Relic . His position was even higher than Paladin Jenny's!

“I shall reaffirm once more . Once you enter the arena, life and death is your own responsibility . ” He paused and slightly turned his body to face a direction . “Mr . X, are you sure?”

Everyone looked over . Xu Yangyi stood up and clasped his hands in a solemn manner . “I am . ”

“Heh…” Among the Dragonmen, there was a young Marquis who couldn't help but laugh . His voice was soft . No one paid attention .

Lawrence wordlessly brushed Xu Yangyi with an eye . Nodding, he sat down .

He didn't question Althorne at all .

This fight in itself was overwhelmingly one-sided in his point of view, but he hoped that Xu Yangyi might've changed his unwise choice as the time approached .

In Lawrence's impression, Xu Yangyi didn't seem to be aware of the meaning of an Archdruid carrying the name of a Sacred Spirit in their surname . As long as the choice was changed now, Lawrence believed that not one person would oppose the withdrawal of a master spirit-technician under his supervision . Even if there had never been such a precedent .

After all, the name of master spirit-technician was enough to create said precedent .

“The Holy War's rules is that there are no rules . Surrender or not, no one can interfere, unless the opponent nods . Otherwise, I won't undo the seal . Any item belonging to a cultivator and magick treasures can be used . Now… may the two warriors enter the arena . ”

Xu Yangyi flickered away, and his body appeared in the arena like smoke . Immediately, applause rang out from the audience . They all had a tacit mutual understanding .

“Mr . X deserves praise for his courage . ”

“Your bravery makes me gasp in admiration, sir . ”

“Brave Master Spirit-Technician X, I wish for your victory . ”

Xu Yangyi turned a deaf ear, and a smile full of hidden meaning hung at the crook of his mouth .

Am I funny?

Wait, I'll let all of you know who's funny .

In this world, there was no reason . Only when one's fist couldn't serve as an equal match was there talk of reason .

Suddenly, at the other side of the arena, countless leaves swirled in the air, and a green spiritual energy circled about like a vortex . Another silhouette soon appeared .

It was a handsome man with a head of long white hair . He was almost two meters tall, and two long antlers grew out from his head . He didn't wear a suit, but rather something weaved together from tree leaves and cloth . He was also looking at Xu Yangyi .

This time, there was no clapping . However, the silent respect was hotter than false applause .

In comparison, the laughter moments ago seemed to be for a clown .

“In that case, let the betting begin . ”
