Berserk God of War

262: Chapter 262: Ambush Outside the 99th Town 262: Chapter 262: Ambush Outside the 99th Town Sikong Jing smiled, evidently very satisfied with Qin Heng’s arrangements.

“Because I can contribute high-grade Martial Skills to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, as long as I contribute enough, I will definitely become an elder.”

“Even if my martial arts progress no further, my status in the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace will not be low.”

Hearing these words, Su Yuexi felt completely relieved.

However, Sikong Jing had a resolute look in his eyes; would his future merely be as an elder of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace?

And how could his martial arts journey reach no further progress?

There are some things he didn’t want to argue about, and nobody would believe him anyway.

One good thing about the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace was that it was a place where one could truly speak with their fists.

As for the Beast Skills he could provide, Sikong Jing didn’t care much.

First, he could contribute as much as he wanted or keep them to himself if he chose not to give them out.

Second, as long as his strength improved, he would encounter more powerful demon beasts, allowing him to create stronger Beast Skills.

For him, this was a mutually beneficial arrangement with the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

He could enter the Martial Dragon Palace to comprehend the Demon Dragon Beast Skills, while the Holy Dragon Palace could harvest the Beast Skills—a perfect situation for both.

“Let’s go, we should first return to the Long Night Black Burning Camp,” Sikong Jing said, and then led Su Yuexi away from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

The events that had taken place in Xingluo Palace must be reported to Ning Jingjing.

…

On Golden Dragon Mountain, Wen Hu and Yu Yan had finally climbed up, but by then Qin Heng had already dealt with Sikong Jing’s matter.

He had just returned from the Apprentice School Region.

“Vice Palace Master Qin, how is Sikong Jing?” Wen Hu was simply too curious.

Qin Heng’s face was all bitter smiles; he sighed heavily and said, “Why, oh why?”

“Why does a super genius with more than Tenth-grade Full Martial Wisdom have to be a Spirit Martial Root?

If I knew who had ruined his Dantian, I’d dig up their family’s ancestral grave myself!”

As he said this, Qin Heng was seething with murderous intent.

If Yan Ruyu heard this, she would probably be scared out of her wits.

Meanwhile, Wen Hu and Yu Yan were completely stunned, realizing Sikong Jing truly had a Spirit Martial Root.

Then, Qin Heng shared his arrangements for Sikong Jing with both of them and instructed, “Give him as many points as he deserves, and follow the rules, like for high-level Hong-grade Martial Skills; you figure out how much that should be.”

“Uh…”

The two blinked, unsure of what to give.

Such a situation had never occurred before, and the Task Hall had not set a precedent!

However, they suddenly remembered that if an official student acquired high-level Hong-grade Martial Skills outside and contributed them to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, there were point valuations in place.

Thinking of this, Yu Yan hesitantly said, “Vice Palace Master Qin, the points valuation for high-level Hong-grade is 800,000.

With so many points, Sikong Jing could directly become an official student.”

“Yes, with 800,000 points, he could become an official student and still have plenty left over,” Wen Hu also looked baffled.

Qin Heng paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “It’s fine, give it to him.”

“I had previously told Sikong Jing to not rush into becoming an official student before reaching the Innate Martial Body Realm.”

“Besides, he still needs these points to exchange for Heavenly Treasures that could restore his Martial Root.”

As he spoke, Qin Heng admired his own arrangements.

He was allowing Sikong Jing to keep a low profile and make continuous efforts to restore his Martial Root by spending points, which could potentially unlock his greatest potential.

In the Holy Dragon Task Hall, points could also be spent.

Sikong Jing could post personal tasks in the Task Hall, exchange points for items, and so on, thereby allowing other students or apprentices to help him collect Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, among other things.

This way, Sikong Jing using points to earn more points could create a cycle that promotes growth.

“Martial Body Realm?

Is that possible?” Wen Hu expressed his skepticism, since every step for a Spirit Martial Root was difficult.

Qin Heng murmured, “Maybe there’s a miracle?”

He then instructed the two to keep the matter of Sikong Jing contributing a Beast Skill strictly confidential, and not to tell anyone.

This, of course, was also to protect Sikong Jing.

“From now on, the matters concerning Sikong Jing will be your responsibility.

Report back to me if there’s anything you can’t decide on,” he said.

Having finished talking, Qin Heng stepped into the depths of the Golden Dragon Institute at Golden Dragon Mountain…

Wen Hu and Yu Yan exchanged looks and ultimately sighed as they left Golden Dragon Mountain, still feeling regretful about Sikong Jing’s Martial Root.

Meanwhile, Qin Heng arrived at a courtyard, gently knocked on the door, and said, “Palace Master, I have something to report.”

It was naturally about Sikong Jing…

After a long while, a deep female voice came from inside, “What is it?”

“It’s like this, Tan Yue, he accepted…”

Before he could finish, the courtyard suddenly exploded with an incredibly terrifying aura.

Qin Heng was forced to retreat repeatedly; his entire face turned pale.

Then, he heard the woman’s voice inside roar, “Get lost, don’t mention him to me.”

Qin Heng was dumbstruck, and quickly said, “Palace Master, it’s not about him, it’s…”

“Get lost, whether Tan Yue is dead or not, it’s none of my business,” the Palace Master interjected harshly.

Qin Heng was quite helpless, guessing that the Palace Master was not in a good mood these days; perhaps it would be better to wait until she was in a better mood to talk.

“Palace Master, there’s terrible news!”

Just at that moment, an elder came rushing over, and upon seeing Qin Heng, he added, “Vice Palace Master Qin, you’re here too?”

“What’s the terrible news?” the Palace Master asked.

Hearing this, the elder hurriedly said, “We just received a distress signal from Master Tan, saying that Yu Wenxiong himself is chasing him and has already pursued him out of the Imperial City.”

The next instant, boom!

An even more terrifying aura erupted from inside the Palace Master’s courtyard, followed by a frenzied roar, “Yu Wenxiong, you’re courting death.”

With that, a vague figure cut through the sky and disappeared in front of Qin Heng and the elder.

Opening his mouth, Qin Heng muttered, “Didn’t you say his death had nothing to do with you?

When trouble arises, you’re more anxious than anyone else.”

The elder asked blankly, “Vice Palace Master Qin, should we also…”

“No need, you know the Palace Master’s strength as well as I do; two Yu Wenxiongs wouldn’t be a match for her,” Qin Heng said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

With the Palace Master gone, there was no one left for him to report to.

…

Long Night Black Burning Camp, 99th Town.

When Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi returned, it was already late at night, but when he was still two kilometers away from the 99th Town, he suddenly stopped and said coldly, “Those who want to kill me, come out!”

Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh…

In the next instant, several figures flashed out, the leaders being notably two middle-aged men.

Sikong Jing recognized the two, they were indeed the martial soul realm experts associated with Young Master Lan…

Clearly, they were here waiting to ambush him.

Besides the two middle-aged men, there were also more than a dozen Martial Body Realm experts behind them.

“Not bad for a Spirit Martial Root genius who broke through against the odds to the Innate Realm, quite alert,” said one of the Martial Soul Realm middle-aged men as he abruptly gestured.

The dozen Martial Body Realm experts instantly surrounded him, and the Martial Soul Realm middle-aged man coldly said, “Unfortunately, a Spirit Martial Root is still trash.

Xingluo Palace has sealed its premises, but since you were able to come out, it proves you are not a student of Xingluo Palace.”

“Now just obediently come back with us to the Lan Family, our Family Head wants to flay you and draw out your tendons.”
