Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1369 - Not Only One

Even though many cultivators failed to gather three hundred and thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws, they were still intrigued to hear the outcome.

A place on par with the Six Great Forbidden Grounds choosing its successor was definitely not something that they could overlook.

It was not exaggerating to say that the current situation in the half-God region would absolutely undergo a huge change after the successor was decided.

"The people who have gathered three hundred and thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws are Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun, Meng Langxie, and Qin Nan. I now ask you, are you willing to become my successor?"

The master seemed to be aware of the crowd's confusion. He spoke again after a brief moment.

"Qin Nan has three hundred and thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws?"

"Damn, I don’t think he even traded with anyone!"

"Isn't that guy a bit too lucky? How did he secure so many Sky-Severing Dragon Claws on his own when he started in the lower eighth grade?"

The crowd was astounded when they heard the words.

Even though Qin Nan had surpassed the rules of cultivation, his cultivation level was only at the peak Martial Progenitor Realm. Besides, he had been graded lower eighth when the trial began and he did not even take part in the trade.

If the rules did not change at the last second, Qin Nan would simply be chosen as the successor of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain. Xiao Yunjue and the others would have had no chance at all.

"This guy…"

Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, Vast Skythunder, Martial Monarch Luoyin, Martial Monarch Jiuqu, and the rest of the authorities wore unpleasant expressions.

They clearly knew how Qin Nan had managed to secure that many Sky-Severing Dragon Claws.

"But what difference will it make now?"

Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun, and Meng Langxie glanced at Qin Nan with an icy grin.

Now that they had a chance to compete for it, they would surely become the successor.

"I'm willing."

Qin Nan's face remained the same. He ignored the crowd's gaze as he walked forward and brought his fists together.

"As I thought, the people from the South-Heaven Gate were never interested in becoming the successor. Their only focus was the Skyless Dojo.”

Among the crowd, two mysterious Martial Progenitors switched their gaze from Zang Xuanyun to the others. Their actions of trading Sky-Severing Dragon Claws with the others immediately came to a stop.

As for Qin Nan and the others, they were simply ignored by them.

Normally, they would place more attention on them, yet the situation was completely different now.

The reason being that something even more shocking than becoming the successor of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain was about to take place at the Skyless Dojo.

"The rules of choosing the successor are fairly simple. I'll open up an isolated space for you to fight one another, but prior to that, each of you are allowed to invite a cultivator of the fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm or below to assist you. Qin Nan is allowed to invite three.

"The duration of the battle is the period it takes an incense stick to burn. If anyone is suppressed for more than fifteen breaths, he will be disqualified from the battle. The final person standing will become my successor.

The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain paused for a while before he added, "By the way, after the battle ends, you can still enter the Skyless Dojo."

He was purposely saying this to Qin Nan.

"We'll fight one another and invite Martial Monarchs to help us?"

The cultivators were startled. Their faces soon wore strange expressions.

They were saying how lucky Qin Nan was just a moment ago, but now the tables had been turned completely.

It went without saying that the rules put Xiao Yunjue and the other two in a position with a great advantage.

As for Qin Nan, even though he was allowed to invite three people to help him, his own cultivation was too weak to defeat Xiao Yunjue and the others.

"HAHA, Cultivator Xiao, allow me to lend a hand."

"Cultivator Wan, I'm happy to help…"

"Cultivator Meng…"

At that instant, Blood Rune was the first to burst out laughing as he, Qilin Flame, and Vast Skythunder all stepped forward and glanced at Xiao Yunjue and the others.

The trio initially thought they no longer had the chance to pick on Qin Nan, yet to their surprise, the chance had come so quickly.

"Very well."

Xiao Yunjie and the other two grinned.

They were well aware of the trio's goal.

If that were the case, they were more than willing to team up at the start of the fight to cripple Qin Nan first.

As for the chance of becoming a successor, they would compete among themselves for it.

"Hehe, Qin Nan, I bet you never thought the time would come so quickly for us to get our revenge?" Wan Fenghun glanced at Qin Nan and laughed grimly. He glanced at the crowd and said, "Fellow seniors, cultivators, I've got something to settle with this guy. I hope that no one will help him."

"Those who help him will be treated as my enemies."

"And mine too…"

Martial Monarch Luoyin, Martial Monarch Jiuqu, and the authorities stepped forward too.

In addition to that, Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, and Vast Skythunder quickly scanned the crowd with cold gazes. Words were not needed to explain their intention.

They were not leaving Qin Nan with the slightest chance.

"Qin Nan is done for."

"Yeah, how did he offend so many authorities?"

"With such a formidable formation, I don't think anyone would be willing to help him."

"As the saying goes, things go in the opposite direction when pushed too far. Qin Nan was too lucky before, so it's expected for him to have some misfortune."

The cultivators wore pitiful looks as they witnessed the scene before them.

They were quite familiar with Qin Nan's past. He had finally been given a chance to soar into the sky after failing to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, but now, his dream was going to get crushed again.

"Qin Nan…"

Among the crowd, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, and Ao Cangtian were startled.

However, they did not step forward, nor did they do anything else.

"These guys are all teaming up to bully him?"

Sima Kong's face instantly wore a furious expression.

"Damn it, a bunch of Martial Monarchs dare to act so full of themselves here!"

Little Worm's whiskers shivered in rage. If it weren't because he had yet to fully recover from the injury, he would simply go crazy and kill all of them.

"It's fine."

Qin Nan glanced at the two and shook his head. His expression remained calm despite seeing the mocking looks from Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun, Blood Rune, and the others' eyes.

Trying to team up and pick on him?

Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun were teaming up with the trio?

The situation did seem grim for him, yet…

Did it matter?

If he could not overcome something insignificant like this, how was he going to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm?

"Qin Nan, aren't you going to invite someone to help you?"

The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain calmly asked as if he was unaware of the approaching danger.

"It's fine, I alone am enough."

Qin Nan shook his head and said.

"He still dares to take part in it?"

The authorities and cultivators were stunned.

Anyone could easily tell that Xiao Yunjue and the others had teamed up to set Qin Nan up.

If Qin Nan were to join the fight, he would simply be asking for his death. It was completely meaningless.

"HAHAHA, as expected of Cultivator Qin Nan, who still dares to fight even though he's alone! If that's the case, I can't wait to see how capable your seven Martial Trees are!"

Xiao Yunjue, Meng Langxie, Wan Fenghun, and the others burst into laughter as their eyes displayed a strong disdain.

"Alright, the battle will now…"

The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain raised his hand and created an isolated space.

However, before he could finish his sentence, an unexpected change took place.

"Wait!"

"Who said that…he's alone?" action

The crowd could only see three figures on the ancient altars rising to their feet. The glows emitting from the altar shook vigorously.
