Berserk God of War

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Every Guess Was Spot On

As these words were spoken, Sikong Jing’s pupils slightly contracted, but he became even more puzzled.

If he believed he didn’t rely on treasures to bring Yin Henzi down to this state, then why would an Emperor Artifact Master seek him out?

In any case, Sikong Jing remained vigilant and wary.

Simultaneously, his gaze swept towards Yin Henzi who was a hundred meters away. Clearly, the latter couldn’t hear Master Wuji’s voice...

But at merely one hundred meters, it would be very close for Yin Henzi, who should normally hear it clearly, indicating that Master Wuji had used some method to ensure no one around could hear.

This means, no one would hear the conversation with Master Wuji next.

”Now, let this old man guess how you’ve achieved such earth-shattering deeds.”

Master Wuji continued to speak, his eyes already narrowing: ”First, you are not a War Body and are only in the Martial Battle Realm, so you must have developed the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness ahead of time, definitely during the early stages of the Extraordinary Realm.”

Hearing this, Sikong Jing’s pupils contracted again, almost correct.

But he had actually developed it during the Daoist Martial Realm, so Master Wuji had still guessed wrongly.

Still without a response, Sikong Jing suddenly became curious about what else Master Wuji might say.

”Sorry, this old man was mistaken...”

”It should have been during the Daoist Martial Realm when you developed the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.”

As he uttered this sentence, Master Wuji’s old eyes widened, staring intently at Sikong Jing.

As if trying to discern something from his face.

And the shock in Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed by, quickly returning to calm as he spoke for the first time: ”Master, please continue.”

His heart was filled with shock, yet he still didn’t know what Master Wuji was up to, so he must neither confirm nor deny, preventing any expression from showing...

Sikong Jing had experienced much but had not grown arrogant enough to think he could surely outwit an old monster like the one before him.

Of course, he was still interested in trying.

At Sikong Jing’s calm reaction, a glimmer of appreciation appeared in Master Wuji’s eyes, and he chuckled: ”You must have been through many life-and-death battles, hence accumulating a vast amount of combat experience.”

Sikong Jing’s gaze remained firm, neither confirming nor denying, showing no touch of emotion on his face.

Since this second guess could be made by almost anyone.

”However, even a vast amount of combat experience is insufficient to bridge the gap between you and Yin Henzi’s Spirit Shadow plus Sixth Grade Battle Body, so you must have had a fortuitous encounter, perhaps guidance from a master, or obtained advanced Cultivation Technique Combat Skills.”

This was indeed true, but Sikong Jing was not guided by a master; it was the millions of Fierce Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.

This third guess was also not hard to make.

”Yet why do the Blood Charm Demon Cat and Double-Horned Demon Tiger stay dormant within your Spirit Platform without causing mischief?”

Master Wuji’s voice was slow and powerful: ”In the absence of treasures, there’s only one possibility, which is you have subdued two Fierce Beast Spirit Shadows and made them willingly follow you.”

”Or you subdued one of the Fierce Beast Spirit Shadows while the other was already severely injured and unable to resist.”

This time, even though Sikong Jing tried hard to remain calm, he still couldn’t stop the surprise.

Even with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, Sikong Jing could still place two Fierce Beast Spirit Shadows in the Spirit Platform.

Because the Double-Horned Demon Tiger indeed willingly followed him, intimidating the Blood Charm Demon Cat.

Master Wuji smiled as he continued: ”Why can you subdue at least one Fierce Beast Spirit Shadow? Because you yourself must be a powerful commander, your subordinates would undoubtedly be willing to give their lives for you.”

Sikong Jing’s face froze subconsciously, goosebumps appeared on his skin; this old fellow before him was terrifying.

Was he actually an Emperor Artifact Master, or a mind-reading master of his mother’s ilk?

Seemingly noticing Sikong Jing’s internal reaction, Master Wuji suddenly revealed a satisfied smile.

Then, he shifted his words and said: ”It seems the old man has guessed right about everything, but there’s no need for you to be surprised or find the old man frightening; the old man is simply a bit older and once encountered someone very similar to you.”

With these words, Sikong Jing’s gaze slightly tightened. Someone similar to himself?

In the next moment, Master Wuji suddenly shouted heavily: ”If I’m not mistaken, your Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness houses two Spirit Shadows, and I’m not referring to the Fierce Beast Spirit Shadows, but to your inherent dual spirit nature.”

This statement was slammed out when Sikong Jing was unprepared.

Master Wuji wanted to demolish Sikong Jing’s calmness...

And the moment he finished speaking, Master Wuji’s gaze had narrowed to a point.

The reason he pursued Yin Henzi and used the Holy Artifact as an excuse to speak with Sikong Jing alone was precisely due to a phrase uttered by the young Little Liang; if the youth encountered by Yin Henzi indeed had dual Spirit Shadows, he would be exceedingly similar to Eldest Su.

From the previous series of guesses, it already seemed astonishingly similar!

Whether it was the pre-emptive development of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, the invincible commander aura, or the terrifying combat prowess, they all mirrored Eldest Su closely...

But there remained this one last point, whether it was a dual spirit existence?

Whether it possessed Eldest Su’s brilliance and could, like Eldest Su, shatter War Bodies while being a non-combatant.

Whether it could, in the future, crush all the geniuses of the Central Plains.

Just like Eldest Su, who once shattered the top genius of the Central Plains... Pei Kuang!

And Sikong Jing’s response at this moment was: outwardly unchanged, yet internally tumultuous.

He wasn’t that easily pulled out by expressions or glances, especially when on guard, but Master Wuji’s guesses were incredibly spot-on, causing even the calm Sikong Jing’s heart to race uncontrollably.

At this moment, the gleams in the eyes of the old and the young seemed to clash intensely, as if trying to see through each other.

And precisely because Sikong Jing’s expression and gaze showed no change, Master Wuji still couldn’t be certain, only inwardly admiring the young man before him; enduring till now without faltering...

Typically, upon hearing ”dual spirit shadow,” one would either scoff or retort, yet his demeanor remained the same.

But precisely because Sikong Jing showed no expression changes, Master Wuji was already fifty percent certain it was a dual spirit shadow.

After a long pause, Sikong Jing suddenly spoke.

”Master has guessed so much about me, and yet it’s not for the Emperor Artifact or Holy Artifact.”

”So let me, a youngster, be bold enough to guess why Master has expended so much effort on an unknown rook like me, what do you think?”

His voice was calm, not addressing whether he possessed dual spirit shadows.

Instead, he was preparing to reciprocate; such a master would not waste effort here for nothing, surely having an agenda toward him, thus Sikong Jing was ready to counterattack.

Once calmed, Sikong Jing had begun to deduce certain things.

”Alright, please!” Master Wuji nodded indifferently, increasingly impressed by Sikong Jing.

Hearing this, Sikong Jing slowly began: ”First, Master, you certainly aren’t here to coax me into handing over the Holy or Emperor Artifact, nor are you here to serve Yin Henzi as a client.”
