Chapter 121: Did We Win?

Yang Jingting was also speechless, feeling utterly humiliated. Two of his Dragonkin Clan Leaders couldn’t even defeat a single Demon Human, and this Demon Human just happened to be Chen Dabai’s subordinate, which made him feel even more frustrated. Now, facing the arrogant and domineering Chen Dabai in the group chat, he had no way to counter her.

Yang Jingting refused to accept this. His family had more than just two powerful Elders—how could they possibly lose to Chen Dabai’s people? In a hurry, Yang Jingting ran to find Qiao Zhirou, asking her to help request the Elders for support. Little did he know that Amutate and the other Clan Leader had already returned with bruised and swollen faces, standing proudly at the entrance of their home.

“Elders, how did it go? Did we win?”

Neither Elder spoke. They both knew this kid had a powerful observation Skill, yet he still came to ask if they had won. Couldn’t he see the bruises and swelling on their faces? And he still wanted to confirm it repeatedly? Did he even respect the status of the Dragonkin Elders?

Amutate didn’t answer Yang Jingting. Instead, he pushed him aside and took the other Elder to the Dragonkin’s healing spring for treatment.

In truth, the outcome of the battle was that Xiong Batian had been relying on her overwhelming attribute points to suppress the two Black Jade Saint Dragons. However, the Dragonkin’s physical strength was simply too formidable, and they were proficient in various forms of Magic. In their eyes, Xiong Batian was nothing more than a brute who only knew how to use raw strength. Both sides fought fiercely, with neither gaining a clear advantage.

Seeing that the fight had dragged on long enough and no decisive outcome was likely in the short term, Zhai Guangyi stepped in to stop it, preventing any unexpected incidents or interference from other factions. After intervening to halt the continuation of the battle, Zhai Guangyi decided to call it a day, as a large-scale Blessing ceremony was scheduled for the following day.

Although it was a draw, Amutate still bestowed upon Xiong Batian the title of “Warrior.”

After this battle, some changes appeared on Xiong Batian’s status panel. She herself might not have noticed, but Zhai Guangyi, with his max-level Appraisal Skill, easily spotted it: Xiong Batian’s race name had changed. After “Elven Sacred Bear,” a suffix—”Demon King Seed”—had been added.

This indicated that Xiong Batian had gained the Aptitude to become a Demon King. This was indeed an unexpected delight, but it also represented a potential threat. While Xiong Batian’s growth potential had expanded, the corresponding dangers had also increased. Zhai Guangyi planned to discuss the matter of the Demon King Seed with Lilith when she had time. Initially, he hadn’t paid much attention to something like a Demon King Seed, but now things were different.

After the battle ended, as soon as Xiong Batian deactivated her Berserk state, she became extremely weak and appeared utterly exhausted. Fortunately, she was within the range of Zhai Guangyi’s Skill, so he teleported her back directly to rest.

Liya was observing the Spirit King Tree inside the Elf Church when Xiong Batian suddenly appeared beneath it. Although Xiong Batian hadn’t suffered any serious injuries, her aura was extremely feeble. Liya hurried over to help Xiong Batian sit down under the Divine Tree.

Xiong Batian’s extraordinary and unprecedented power boost was still difficult for her to bear, primarily due to her insufficient Soul Strength. While her body had barely managed to withstand it with the support of the King Tree Domain, her original rank was simply not high enough. This excess strength was not something Xiong Batian should have possessed at her current level. Moreover, the consumption from using the golden weapon was immense, which was why she was now so exhausted.

Zhai Guangyi used fruit-bearing to make various restorative fruits rain down from the sky, helping Xiong Batian recover. The King Tree Domain had also been nourishing Xiong Batian’s soul all along, preventing her from losing consciousness. This attempt allowed Xiong Batian to gain a great deal on her own.

That absolute, terrifying power she had wielded filled her with immense longing. Having grown accustomed to that level of strength, Xiong Batian felt only that her own power was still insufficient. Her current self was far too weak, utterly unable to bear the power of Lord Divine Tree.

Picking up the fruit bestowed by Lord Divine Tree, Xiong Batian offered a prayer of gratitude before devouring it ravenously. Through long-term observation, Zhai Guangyi discovered that the effects of the Growth Fruit were far greater than he had imagined. Even at the Demigod level, the Growth Fruit still had a slight effect. After consuming it, Xiong Batian’s previously receding power value actually showed signs of stabilizing.

Xiong Batian’s current power value fluctuated between thirteen thousand and seventeen thousand. It seemed that aside from the normal attribute increases from leveling up, this method of strengthening and consolidation could also boost attributes. This discovery delighted Zhai Guangyi greatly—another small method to enhance the strength of his Followers had been added.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Although the terrifying fluctuations from the northern mountains had ceased, the group chat in the Magic Mirror was once again exploding.

Xiong Er had already learned the outcome of the battle through the images transmitted by Lord Divine Tree. Although it was a draw, by all appearances, Xiong Batian had won! Fighting one against two without being at a disadvantage, and Amutate had even acknowledged Xiong Batian as a warrior who challenged the Dragonkin. Though she didn’t understand the use of such acknowledgment, the fact remained: Xiong Batian was awesome!

Xiong Er directly opened the group chat and relentlessly mocked Yang Jingting—nothing but a clown, the Dragonkin Elder was nothing special, a junior like Yang Jingting was simply crushed by her. She boldly declared that if Yang Jingting dared to come tomorrow, she would beat the shit out of him.

Yang Jingting, looking at the arrogant Chen Dabai in the Magic Mirror, was so furious his face turned green. But right now, his side was indeed at a disadvantage. And judging by Xiong Er’s arrogant demeanor, it might not be an empty bluff. He never expected Chen Dabai to be living so well by the Spirit King Tree. However, the words he had spoken earlier couldn’t be taken back—too many old classmates were watching in the group.

Yang Jingting had no choice. To secure victory in tomorrow’s duel, he had to go all out.

Early the next morning, Banwang City began its celebrations at the break of dawn, with residents flooding the streets and alleys to cheer. Initially, they had thought life would become increasingly difficult after the city changed hands, but their homes and livelihoods were all here. It had taken generations of effort to settle in Banwang City—how could they just leave?

Yet the reality was that Banwang City had become better than before. Not only was it much safer, but the streets were also exceptionally clean. Under Xiong Da’s governance, even crime seemed to have vanished.

Most importantly of all, the Elf Church had actually granted twenty Blessing Slots to humans. Upon learning this, people were initially distrustful, assuming the Blessings were reserved for officials and the powerful, merely a show for the common folk. But unexpectedly, someone from the neighboring household had qualified—the son of an ordinary farming family. Once again, the people were filled with hope for Banwang City.

A powerhouse capable of bestowing so many Blessings at once must undoubtedly be a top-tier existence within the Elf Church. The very word “Elf” was once utterly unreachable for ordinary Humans, having only become relatively common in the past century. Yet today, Humans once again witnessed the formidable power emanating from the Elves.
