The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 809: Chapter 809: The Might of the Eight-Armed Arhat

The main event is here!

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and all eyes focused unfalteringly on Bryant James’s face.

Bryant James picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip unhurriedly, and without answering Kash Lam’s question, he asked, ”The True Dragon Secret Realm in the Central Divine Continent is set to open next year. Everyone is clear on this, right?”

Taiyi Sect’s Kenzo Conley leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly: ”The Dragon Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and the Great Sects of the seven states in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm will send disciples to explore the Secret Realm. There’s a hidden rule in the Secret Realm: cultivators over a hundred years old cannot enter, so those who can enter are all young cultivators.”

Kash Lam grinned and said, ”Who doesn’t know that? What’s your point in bringing this up?”

Carson Flores’s mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.

You all know, but I don’t have a clue.

Well, I’ll ask my senior sister later.

Bryant James said with a smile, ”Since everyone is aware, then you should also know that the past two explorations of the True Dragon Secret Realm by the Great Sects of Misrds State yielded little, and the death and injury were severe, weren’t they?”

From the Demon Sun Sect, Terry spoke coldly, ”I heard that two or three states among the other six had selected a number of elite cultivators from their sects, forming elite teams, acting in unity. Other adventurers from the states encountered them and suffered great losses. What, are you planning to pull together a team too?”

Bryant James smiled slightly, ”Yes, that’s indeed the purpose of summoning everyone here today. As we all know, the overall strength of Misrds State is basically at the bottom amongst the seven states. If we remain disjointed, I fear we will repeat our previous losses, sustaining heavy casualties. No one will come out ahead, and at that point, forget about any gains, we might not even survive to leave the Secret Realm.”

Holden Simmons from Jun Mountain said in a stern voice, ”Teaming up is indeed good, but the distribution of the gains is very difficult, after all, everyone wants the good stuff...”

”Divide according to contribution,”

Bryant James replied affirmatively, ”Whoever contributes more should get more. I think we can all agree on this rule.”

Kash Lam sneered, ”To form a team naturally requires a leader to manage the whole team, distribute tasks, distribute spoils of war. Since you’re proposing, naturally you’d be the team leader?”

Bryant James’s expression remained calm, ”In the Cultivation Realm, strength is revered. If anyone can defeat me, I’m willing to concede the position of team leader and will absolutely obey the leader’s management.”

Some pondered and others whispered amongst themselves, but for the moment, no one opposed Bryant James’s proposal.

Although Carson Flores still didn’t quite understand what the True Dragon Secret Realm was all about, he roughly understood the current situation.

By proposing to form a team, Bryant James was using martial strength to assume the leadership position. If the exploration of the True Dragon Secret Realm went smoothly, and he led well, acting fairly in conjunction with his formidable strength, he would firmly secure his position as the leader.

An irrefutable scheme laid bare in broad daylight.

Naturally, Carson Flores wouldn’t join this team; he had a grudge against Bryant James. With Bryant James as the leader and his own strength being inferior, a tiny bit of sabotage from Bryant James, allotting him some dangerous tasks, could very well end him.

Carson Flores didn’t rush to object, instead choosing to observe the changes.

Perhaps most people would agree, but there would certainly be those who did not.

Kash Lam, who was apparently quite straightforward, saw that no one else was taking a stand and bluntly stated, ”Let’s fight first. If you win, I’ll listen to you.”

Bryant James readily agreed, ”Good!”

Kash Lam’s body floated up as he shouted, ”I’ve heard of your Innate Taoist Body and the astonishing power of the phenomena it can cause. I’ve wanted to fight you for a long time, let’s go!”

Kash Lam’s whole body ignited golden flames, which burned brighter and brighter until they completely enveloped him, turning him into a golden fireman.

Bryant James quickly caught up, with countless rays of Golden Light appearing behind him. These rays flew toward heaven and earth, attracting endless Spiritual Energy in a frenzy. The rays quickly took shape until they formed into a colossal golden Eight-Armed Arhat, several hundred feet tall, standing behind Bryant James. Shimmering with golden splendor, solid as reality, the Arhat stood towering between heaven and earth, its presence massively intimidating.

Carson Flores was inwardly shocked; such talent was truly frightening.

No wonder Bryant James was so full of confidence. Had it been him, he likely would have felt the same.

”Brother Kash, be careful!”

As Bryant James spoke, the colossal Eight-Armed Arhat suddenly sprang into action, its pair of giant golden eyes locking onto Kash Lam. One arm wielding a golden mallet swung down towards Kash Lam.

”Bring it on!”

Far from being afraid, Kash Lam let out an excited shout. His body’s golden flames surged wildly, shooting up a hundred feet and transforming into a towering pillar of fire, streaking towards the descending golden mallet.

”Boom!”

It was as if the very heavens and earth trembled. The sky burned with flames, changing color, and faint spatial ripples appeared, as if it could split open at any moment.

The golden glow on the mallet dimmed momentarily, appearing as though it could shatter at any time. However, the Eight-Armed Arhat had eight hands with eight different weapons. While the first arm’s attack had been stymied, the other arms were not idle, rapidly swinging their variety of weapons down.

Carson Flores was astounded; the attack of a single arm was already so terrifying, nearly fracturing space itself. How could one possibly defend against eight such limbs?
