Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1228 - Merging the Nine Martial Trees

Wang Zhao was startled. He entirely lost his thoughts.

The outcome of the battle was completely different than what he had imagined.

A moment later, he collected his thoughts and blurted out with a sullen expression, "Damn it, I've lost."

This was the worst, he had completely set himself up.

"Hehe, you know what to do?"

Qin Nan showed no hint of mercy.

If it were him losing the battle, he would have not shown any mercy toward him either.

"I know… Can I call you Lord Nan instead?" Wang Zhao's eyes flickered with a glimpse of hope.

"No."

"Not even father?"

"The Princess has made it clear, she doesn't want an ugly son."

"Alright…mas…master."

Wang Zhao forced the word out from the gap between his teeth with a blush. His heart was filled with shame.

Who would have thought the famous Wang Zhao with peerless talent and the soon-to-be Canglan Emperor would have to suffer such a humiliation that he could never forget for the rest of his life.

If possible, he would not mind digging a hole and burrowing himself underground.

Qin Nan grinned seeing his reaction, "Not bad, very obedient. Just to let you know, I don’t allow anyone to call me master. You're the second one so far."

"There's a first one?" Wang Zhao felt rather complicated. He couldn't even be the first now?

Qin Nan's eyes glistened as he remembered Xuan Yue, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, the Diabolic Monarch Beast, Ao Cangtian, and the others.

Shaking his head, Qin Nan stopped himself from thinking any further and said, "How about the pieces of Canglan Tree on you?"

"I swear I don't have any." Wang Zhao said with a sour expression, "I've been looking for them too. I did find one, but I've already merged with it."

"Fair enough."

Qin Nan shrugged before flying into the cave.

Wang Zhao followed behind him. As soon as he went inside, Princess Miao Miao greeted him with a smile, "My obedient servant, come here, I have a task for you."

"You…"

Wang Zhao was about to burst into anger when he recalled that this woman was no ordinary person either. He immediately lowered his dignity and decided not to resist.

Qin Nan shook his head after seeing this, before shifting his attention to the piece of the Canglan Tree.

"I can't really tell what the difference this piece will bring to the nine Martial Trees this time."

Qin Nan took a deep breath. Without wasting further time, he unleashed his nine Martial Trees and directed them to shatter the piece of the Canglan Tree.

This time, the piece of the Canglan Tree no longer fought back. It broke into pieces instantly as several shocking green glows entered Qin Nan's body.

Following this, the nine Martial Trees in Qin Nan's body instantly underwent an incredible change.

Firstly, for the Destruction Martial Tree, its branches and leaves began to emit blinding glows as countless mysterious runes full of the presence of Taoism surfaced, allowing the Destruction Martial Tree to rank up significantly.

Although the Destruction Martial Tree had yet to surpass the limits of the Martial Path, it was no longer just a mere Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree.

As for the remaining eight Divine Battle Trees, they grew rapidly with surging auras. Within less than ten breaths' time, they had each grown to a height of ten zhang, reaching the limit of the Martial Progenitor Realm. Their trunks, leaves, and branches were covered in runes too.

Qin Nan's figure tensed up at this particular instant.

The reason for this was that there was still a huge amount of energy left inside the piece of the Canglan Tree.

Buzz.

Suddenly, a magical absorption force burst out from the nine Martial Trees.

It turned out that the nine Martial Trees had been baptized by the power of the Canglan Tree—they shared the same power, thus resulting in them attracting one another.

"Here's my chance!"

Qin Nan's heart buzzed as excitement surged through his body!

"Merge!" action

Qin Nan demanded!

Using his thoughts, he controlled the nine Martial Trees to slowly move closer to one another!

The nine Martial Trees seemed to be aware of Qin Nan's intention and responded with buzzes. The noise from the eight Divine Battle Trees was relatively softer, but the Destruction Martial Tree seemed to be resisting his will the most!

Currently, they were still expelling one another's presence!

"It can't work yet, the force of the Canglan Tree is still not enough. It would be a disaster if I were to force them to merge into one. However, I can't waste such a great opportunity that was presented to me. I can't just give up now…"

Qin Nan quickly thought as he began to consider various methods.

A great thought flashed across his mind all of a sudden.

"That should do it!"

Qin Nan collected his thoughts and gathered his focus!

However, unlike the previous attempt, Qin Nan lined up the Destruction Martial Tree and five Divine Battle Trees on one side, and merged the force of the Canglan Tree with the remaining three Divine Battle Trees, before directing them toward the line of the Destruction Martial Tree and the five Divine Battle Trees!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The nine Martial Trees continued to vibrate vigorously!

However, this time, with the support of the overwhelming force of the Canglan Tree, the three Divine Battle Trees slowly calmed down and approached the remaining six Martial Trees. Several streams of progenitor force were unleashed and flowed toward the six Martial Trees in a rather mystical manner!

At that instant, the Destruction Martial Tree and the five Divine Battle Trees underwent an astonishing change!

"Mm?"

Wang Zhao and Princess Miao Miao glanced at Qin Nan in astonishment after being aware of something.

They could sense a new power being born inside Qin Nan's body.

"Huh?"

Wang Zhao and Princess Miao Miao became aware of something being out of place once again, prompting them to cast a glance at the ancient rock.

The previously deadly silent ancient rock was emitting a faint glow.

"Holy crap?"

Wang Zhao's eyes widened as he stared at it.

The Heavenly Fortune Rock was showing a reaction? What the hell was going on here?

…Meanwhile, in the Upper Arcana of the Ancient Battleground…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Skeleton Xiao Hong, the Heavenly Fortune Mouse, and the two Heavenly Fortune Hounds fell from the sky.

"So this is the Upper Arcana? Huh, where are the people of the God Beast Forbidden Ground and the Lost Herb Garden who entered the door a few moments ago?"

The two hounds were confused.

"We were teleported here randomly, thus they have ended up somewhere else."

Skeleton Xiao Hong shook her head and said.

"Phew, that's good for us then. Otherwise, it would be a waste of us using our Heavenly Fortune Force to sneak in here. We wouldn't want to be turned into a stew when we just arrived…"

The two hounds were extremely relieved.

"Squeak, squeak."

Suddenly, the Heavenly Fortune Mouse jumped up and down in panic, as some energy burst out from its body.

"What happened to our boss? Crap, why are our bodies heating up…"

The two hounds were taken by surprise.

"You've found something? Keep calm, just follow your instincts."

The flames inside Skeleton Xiao Hong's eye sockets flickered as she spoke.

"Aye, Big Sis!"

The two hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse calmed their thoughts and closed their eyes. They waved their paws wildly in the air as their bodies emitted blinding glows, which seemed to be resonating with some mysterious source in the distance.
