Chapter 205: Hong Dou’s Pagoda Exploded

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the Blue Sky Plaza, the students began to become excited again after a period of gloominess.

They were watching a game being live-streamed.

Liu Qianhuan vs Shirley in League of Valor!

“Woah, Sister Liu beat her even with a handicap of ten lives.”

“Shirley’s having the crap beaten out of her. It looks like she’s on the verge of tears, I’m suddenly feeling a bit sympathetic to her.”

“Sister Liu looks so beautiful when she’s playing games!”

“Shirley’s not bad either. Her skin is fair, and she’s got a nice face and big boobs, and on top of that, she can even glow.”

“Hey, what are you guys even focusing your attention on? Are we really watching a trial to see who can get the most holy grails?”

“Are these the games of the mortal world? It looks so fun! I wanna play as well if I get the chance to descend into the mortal world…”

…

All the students were discussing among themselves, but the Light Wing Clan’s entourage was beginning to feel quite embarrassed.

Although Shirley did let loose and did some unexpected things from time to time…

But for her to be whipped like this in front of such a large audience…

Even if it was just a game, it was still a disgraceful display!

“Poor Shirley, I can’t watch anymore…”

“This game is clearly unfair, but she’s still persisting, I really don’t understand why.”

“Shirley’s too stubborn. If she doesn’t win, she might just keep playing like this.”

“Rising to the occasion instead of bowing to hardships. If you think about it that way, it’s pretty motivational!”

“Sigh, we can only comfort ourselves like this. Anyhow, are the representatives just going to be trapped like this until the end of the trial…”

Not only were the Light Wing Clan concerned, but all the tens-of-thousands of students were also quite worried about the same thing.

Although it was pretty awesome seeing Sister Liu wreck someone like this, but if they could only watch this game being live-streamed while those slimy bastards from the Hall of Creation became the champions, that would be a major travesty!

…

Within the Zhong Long mountain ranges, only the Buddhist Kingdom and Hall of Creation’s representatives were able to move around freely.

The Buddhist Kingdom representatives were a lot more subdued. After consuming some regenerative pills, they sought refuge in an obscure cave to recover from their injuries.

There was no hurry anyway. At least up until now, there were no other announcements of other teams obtaining any more holy grails.

Hence, from their perspective, the best option was to recover as much as possible before embarking on their next hunt for holy grails.

Meanwhile, the Hall of Creation’s representatives were actively searching for holy grails, hoping to close the gap in points as quickly as possible.

Within the Pearl Pagoda, there was only silence aside from the sound effects from the game, League of Valor.

After an indeterminate period of time, Augus clenched his fists tightly, seemingly as if he had made up his mind on something.

He made his way toward An Lin and opened his mouth with a solemn expression. “An Lin, there’s no point in continuing like this. Use your Nuclear Lightning Fist!”

Everyone turned to look at him in shock!

“Augus, don’t be rash, we can think of another way!” Shirley dissuaded.

Everyone was aware of just how terrifying the Nuclear Lightning Fist was! If the technique was unleashed in such a confined space, they’d probably all get blasted into oblivion.

Augus shook his head firmly. “I’m aware of your concern, but there’s a forbidden spell I can use to minimize the damage we’ll sustain from the resulting shockwave.”

Everyone was silent for a short while.

“Could it be… that you’re planning to use the Holy Redemption Technique?” Arthur’s eyes widened as he became more animated.

“Don’t do it! Augus, if you use that forbidden spell, your mental energy would be completely drained and you’ll fall into unconsciousness. We don’t stand a chance at victory without you even if we can break free!” Shirley shook her head in objection.

Augus smiled lightly. “Well, we’re at an impasse here. If we don’t break out of here, we’d have no opportunities at all. Plus, I’ll only be unconscious for a short time, and the trial wouldn’t conclude so quickly.”

He turned his gaze upon An Lin and his team. “I hope we can come to an agreement. After I use the Holy Redemption Technique and fall into unconsciousness, please don’t take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Garden of Eden’s representatives.”

An Lin and his team wouldn’t refuse this offer so of course, they immediately nodded their heads in agreement.

Augus breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had any reservations now.

He was not worried that the Heavenly Court would go back on their promise. After all, each and every one of their words and actions was being live-streamed to everyone on the Blue Sky Plaza. If they were to go back on their promise, even if they were to become the eventual champions, they would receive very negative backlash from the audience and there would be no honor at all in their victory.

“Then, please begin, An Lin.”

“I’ll use the Holy Redemption Technique to dematerialize everyone’s bodies for an instant, thereby granting us immunity from the ensuing shockwave.” A white light began to flash in his hands as he elaborated slowly.

An Lin nodded. This was actually an agreement forged on mutual trust.

If Augus only used the Holy Redemption Technique on the three Garden of Eden’s representatives, then the Heavenly Court’s representatives would all be left to die.

They were also relying on the fact that all their words and actions were being broadcasted to the tens-of-thousands of spectators on the Blue Sky Plaza…

Bolts of blue lightning began to merge into his golden right fist. At the same time, the power of the Darkness of Origin began to enter the fray, triggering a certain qualitative change…

Outside the Pearl Pagoda, the three Hall of Creation’s representatives discovered a holy grail.

They all charged toward the holy grail with ecstatic expressions.

This holy grail sat atop a huge Flame Python of over a hundred feet in length. An extremely powerful aura radiated from its body, making it resemble a majestic king of snakes as it looked down with disdain at its three assailants.

This mutant beast was very powerful!

Huang Shan, Hong Dou, and Dong Yan all raised their guard as they prepared themselves for a grueling battle.

The Pearl Pagoda trembled slightly, but Hong Dou’s attention was focused elsewhere, so he did not take notice.

Within the pagoda, an energy capable of destroying everything was already in the process of exploding.

Augus spread his hands flat before him, an earnest expression of worship appearing on his face.

A mighty golden figure appeared behind him, spreading a holy light imbued with the mystical power of blessing upon everyone…

A terrifying storm of golden lightning raged within the pagoda, causing the watertight pagoda to expand like a balloon before cracking under the immense pressure.

Crack…

Hong Dou trembled when he heard this abnormal sound.

He looked toward the expanding Pearl Pagoda as golden cracks began to spread over the structure of the pagoda like spider webs, causing a terrifying power to leak out from within.

Hong Dou stared with wide eyes at the Pearl Pagoda. He suddenly felt like he was holding a bomb on the verge of exploding. “Team leader, there’s something wrong with the pagoda!”

He yelled and immediately tossed the pagoda at Huang Shan like a hot potato.

Huang Shan’s attention was focused entirely on the python, and when he turned to face Hong Dou, he was greeted by the sight of the Pearl Pagoda, which had been tossed at him.

Cracks had spread all over the Pearl Pagoda and a devastating power began to burst through…

“Hong Dou, I will f*cking kill you!”

Those were Huang Shan’s last words.

The Pearl Pagoda exploded.

Golden lightning exploded like an atomic bomb, annihilating everything around the pagoda.

A huge crater appeared on the ground below them as a mushroom cloud flashing with lightning rose into the air…
