SOVEREIGNTY WAR EMPEROR, VOLUME 2 - Season 9 Episode 7

“Vice Fort Master Feng!” In next to no time, the representatives of the various Dynasties saw that after Ning Can came out, the other Vice Fort Master, Feng Wei, followed him out as well.

It wasn’t only that, there was another person behind Feng Wei.

“It’s him!”

“He seems to be a young genius of the Darkhan Dynasty as well?”

“Oh my god! The first two people to come out during the second round of the selections are actually members of the Darkhan Dynasty!”

…

Instantly, the representatives of the other nine Dynasties were completely in an uproar, and they stared fixedly at Zi Shang as if they wanted to discern something from Zi Shang.

“Hahahaha… Good, good!” The Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty laughed with delight. Never had he imagined that after Duan Ling Tian, the second person to come out of the Illusory Crypt would be Zi Shang.

Even though Zi Shang had no blood relation with his Darkhan Dynasty’s Imperial Family, yet Zi Shang was the personal disciple of his Imperial Uncle, Bai Nan Yin.

Most importantly, Zi Shang was representing the Darkhan Dynasty when participating in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.

Bai Nan Yin’s eyes glowed brightly, and his body trembled slightly from excitement. Never had he imagined that his disciple would actually be able to be the second to walk out of the Illusory Crypt.

After Zi Shang came out, he couldn’t help but reveal a complacent smile when he noticed so many gazes converging onto him.

But when his gaze touched the violet clothed young man that sat cross-legged while cultivating in the distant sky, his pupils couldn’t help but constrict abruptly as cold lights flickered within.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Zi Shang slightly gnashed his teeth as he looked at Duan Ling Tian from afar.

Even though he’d obtained the number 2 token, and it caused Zi Shang to be delighted, but he felt a wave of displeasure when he recalled that it was Duan Ling Tian that had obtained the number 1 token.

No matter who surpassed him, he wasn’t willing for it to be Duan Ling Tian!

To him, being surpassed by Duan Ling Tian was a humiliation, a humiliation that was difficult to wash away!

“Zi Shang, did you obtain the number 2 token?” The Darkhan Dynasty’s Emperor and Zi Shang’s master, Bai Nan Yin, asked Zi Shang via voice transmission at practically the exact same time.

“Yes.” Zi Shang flew out to arrive by their sides in a short moment, and then he nodded slightly.

Both of them beamed instantly when they heard this.

“Imperial Uncle, you’ve taken a good disciple…” The Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty smiled as he looked at Bai Nan Yin.

Bai Nan Yin laughed joyful, and he was happy to the point his eyes narrowed. Since I’m able to obtain a personal disciple like this in my lifetime, what more can I ask for?!

“Zi Shang, I’ve decided to grant you the title of a non-direct line King of my Darkhan Dynasty. Moreover, I’ll receive your Zi Clan into the Capital of my Darkhan Dynasty. What do you think?” The Emperor said to Zi Shang.

“Thank you, your Majesty.” Zi Shang nodded lightly, and his expression didn’t fluctuate in the slightest.

“I hope that you don’t forget my Darkhan Dynasty once you possess exceedingly high strength in the future,” said the Emperor with a smile.

“Yes.” Zi Shang nodded once more.

“Zi Shang!” Suddenly, Ning Can who’d soared into the sky first shot his gaze at Zi Shang, and then he smiled amiably. “Are you willing to take me as your master and become my personal disciple?”

After failing in taking a disciple yesterday, Ning Can had spoken out once more to take a disciple.

The person this time was still a young genius of the Darkhan Dynasty, yet it wasn’t Duan Ling Tian, but Zi Shang!

Whoosh!

Ning Can speaking out to take a disciple once more had drawn the gazes of all the representatives of the ten Dynasties, and most of the representatives revealed envious expressions as they looked at Zi Shang.

They knew that because Zi Shang was the second to leave the Illusory Crypt, he’d obtained the high regard of Ning Can.

“He wouldn’t do as Duan Ling Tian and directly refuse Vice Fort Master Ning, right?”

“He probably won’t…”

“He and Duan Ling Tian are both young geniuses from the Darkhan Dynasty, so he wouldn’t really make a similar decision as Duan Ling Tian, right?”

…

The representatives of many Dynasties discussed animatedly.

“Zi Shang, agree, quickly!” The eyes of Bai Nan Yin and the Emperor lit up when they heard Ning Can, and they hurriedly urged Zi Shang.

Both of them were worried that Zi Shang would act rashly and refuse this Vice Fort Master Ning just like Duan Ling Tian had!

As far as they were concerned, this was a good chance for their Darkhan Dynasty to form a relationship with the Skywolf Fort, and perhaps it would allow the Darkhan Dynasty to obtain the protection of Skywolf Fort.

When one man rises high into the sky, his friends and relations follow there along with him!

“I agree.” Zi Shang flew out to kneel and kowtow to Ning Can, and he seemed to be respectful and humble.

Even though Zi Shang had an incomplete soul that seemed to belong to a Martial Emperor Stage expert concealed within his body, yet he didn’t have an unyielding character like Duan Ling Tian.

To him, so long as it was something that had value to be used, then he wouldn’t let it slip by.

As for taking a master, it was only a formality to him.

Even if Ning Can became his master, if any dispute were to occur between them, then he wouldn’t hold back because Ning Can was his master and would try every possible means to kill Ning Can at the first possible moment!

A master was only a stepping stone to him, an inconspicuous stepping stone on the path to his future.

Of course, Ning Can didn’t know the thoughts in Zi Shang’s heart, otherwise, he would probably be angered to the point of slapping Zi Shang to death!

“Good… Good!” Ning Can laughed with delight, and then he asked. “What Concepts have you comprehended?”

The representatives of the various Dynasties knew what Ning Can wanted to do next when he asked this, and they revealed gazes of envy as they looked at Zi Shang.

Amongst these people included the Darkhan Dynasty’s Emperor and Bai Nan Yin.

They knew that Ning Can intended to reward Concept Fragments to Zi Shang.

“Master, I’ve comprehended the Concepts of Wind and Fire.” Zi Shang’s eyes lit up and even his breathing became slightly rapid.

Even though the incomplete soul of an expert was hiding within his body, besides teaching him to cultivate and some techniques to swiftly comprehend Concept, that expert was unable to give him any material things.

For example, high grade spirit weapons, medicinal pills, and Concept Fragments were all things that the expert was unable to provide to him.

As far as Zi Shang was concerned, so long as he obtained a Concept Fragment, then once it was coupled with the techniques to comprehend Concept quickly that Elder Ghost had taught him, his Concept would surely advance by leaps and bounds!

“Master just happens to possess an eighth level Fire Concept Fragment, I’ll give it to you… Besides that, there’s also this sixth level Wind Concept Fragment.” With a raise of his hand, a red and a green fragment flashed out from Ning Can’s hand and arrived in Zi Shang’s hand in an instant.

“Eighth level Fire Concept Fragment!” Zi Shang’s gaze lit up brightly as he’d never imagined that the eighth level Fire Concept Fragment Ning Can possessed, the Fire Concept Fragment that he heard of from Lu Yong yesterday would so easily fall into his hands.

Besides that, there was also another sixth level Wind Concept Fragment!

At this moment, all the representatives of the various Dynasties including the Darkhan Dynasty were shocked.

“An eighth level Fire Concept Fragment? Sixth level Wind Concept Fragment? What extravagance!”

“When the Concept Fragments obtained by the Darming Dynasty’s Lu Yong yesterday is compared to what Zi Shang obtained today, it’s simply like the difference between the heavens and the earth!”

…

The representatives of the various Dynasties gasped with admiration.

In next to no time, all of them shut their mouths because they noticed Feng Wei’s fierce gaze was flashing past all of them.

Only now did they recall that when they spoke like this, it was undoubtedly indicating from the side that Vice Fort Master Feng was stingy, and they instantly shut their mouths and didn’t dare speak anymore.

“Junior Brother Zi Shang, we’re brothers in the future.” Feng Wei looked at Zi Shang and smiled as he greeted Zi Shang.

“Senior Brother Feng Wei.” Zi Shang replied with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Duan Ling Tian who was sitting cross-legged in midair with a complacent expression, and he seemed as if he was showing off his current noble status.

But unfortunately, Duan Ling Tian was cultivating and utterly didn’t open his eyes to look at Zi Shang, not even a single glance.

“Congratulations Vice Fort Master Ning for obtaining a superb disciple!”

“Congratulations Vice Fort Master Ning!”

…

Instantly, besides Sword 13, Saber 5, Feng Wu Dao, and Duan Ling Tian who sat cross-legged in cultivation, the group of people in the sky above the combat arena congratulated Feng Wei in succession.

Ning Wei’s face was covered in a smile, and his gaze quickly descended onto the Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty. “At the bottom of it all, the reason I and Zi Shang would have the fate of becoming master and disciple is all thanks to your Darkhan Dynasty… Take these three Concept Fragments as my thanks.”

As soon as Ning Can finished speaking, three Concept Fragments appeared in his hand, and he tossed it out to the Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty.

“Thank you, Vice Fort Master Ning!” The Emperor was extremely excited as he stretched his hand out to receive the three Concept Fragments, and at the same time, he satisfactorily enjoyed the numerous gazes filled with envy and jealousy that shot at him from the surroundings.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a wave of sudden violent winds swept over, and it blew onto the clothes of the people in the sky above the combat arena to the point it fluttered and caused many people to look over.

“Where’s this wind coming from?” This violent wind came very strangely, and many people looked at the direction the violent winds blew over from.

At that place, a violet clothed young man sat cross-legged while his entire body was completely coiled by gusts of material Wind Concept.

“Second level Intermediate Wind Concept!” The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth in the sky caused many people to exclaim in low voices.

At this moment, there were 30 lifelike ancient horned dragon silhouettes coiling down from the sky above the violet clothed young man.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Zi Shang looked over and gnashed his teeth in resentment.

The violet clothed young man was precisely Duan Ling Tian, and he’d just comprehended second level Intermediate Wind Concept.

Along with the material Wind Concept around his body dispersing, Duan Ling Tian didn’t have any attention of waking up, and he continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed and cultivate in the sky.

“What a kid!” Feng Wu Dao’s gaze lit up brightly. He knew of Duan Ling Tian’s advancement in Wind Concept, but he never imagined that Duan Ling Tian would be able to break through again in such a short period of time.

“He has comprehended a second level Void Interpretation Concept at the mere age of 28… Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension ability can be said to be monstrous!” A representative from one of the Dynasties sighed.

His words obtained the agreement of many people.

“Hmph!” Ning Can grunted with a voice that only he was able to hear, and his gaze that was icy cold like blades swept towards Duan Ling Tian.

If it wasn’t for being afraid that his actions would be beneath his dignity and if it wasn’t for him being afraid of Sword 13, he would wish for nothing more than to make a move directly and slice this kid that had caused him to utterly lose face yesterday into thousands of pieces!

Duan Ling Tian, even if you’re lucky to survive the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time, you won’t be able to jump around for long after the martial competition ends. Zi Shang’s eyes flickered with a vicious and ruthless sheen. Once you survive the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, I’ll tell my Master about the Devilseal Tablet.
