Chapter 935, Heading to the Earth Tripartite

Translator: Silavin

 

Seeing this, Lu Fan understood that the opponent most likely had some kind of special equipment or item that protected his life.

 

If Lu Fan used his full strength, he could definitely pierce through such items easily. After all, his Level was far higher, and he possessed Ancient God Power, which completely existed outside the Mechanics such Low Grade items function on.

 

For him, this type of equipment that forcibly protected one’s life was no different from paper. It would shatter at a touch.

 

However, Lu Fan naturally would not act now. If he wanted to, one skill could turn everyone present to ash. But his objective was not just these people. There were three whole Hidden Clan groups.

 

Therefore, at this moment, he had absolutely no need to expose himself.

 

Under this light’s protection, Qin Qiu and Jian Ying’s Skills were blocked one by one. Finally, that Heavy Swordsman collapsed to the ground, no longer capable of combat.

 

However, correspondingly, his life was also preserved.

 

The other three saw this, each showing angry expressions.

 

However, with their Frontliner unable to fight, what could these three Backliners do?

 

Continuing to battle Lu Fan’s team would only waste the life-saving items they carried.

 

Victory and defeat had already been decided. The outcome of continuing this battle was obvious.

 

Qin Qiu and Jian Ying exchanged glances at this moment, simultaneously seeing a trace of disappointment in each other’s eyes.

 

The Skills they had just used held considerable power. Their goal had been to kill. But unexpectedly, through some item, the opponent had survived.

 

After the two looked at each other, they simultaneously understood each other’s intent. Then, they prepared to attack again, to finish off the Heavy Swordsman on the ground.

 

If they could kill the other three as well, that would be even better.

 

However, just as the two prepared to attack, the Nichirin Clan’s Patriarch suddenly rose from his seat. His entire body transformed into a breeze, instantly drifting between the two teams, then his body reformed.

 

“The battle is over!” His expression was particularly ugly. He casually set up a wind wall to block both sides.

 

Then he said. “Your Clan’s youths are truly extraordinary. Our Nichirin Clan admits defeat!”

 

Seeing the opponent concede, Lu Fan waved his hand, signalling Jian Ying and Qin Qiu not to continue attacking, lest they break the rules and disrupt Jin Zhan’s plan.

 

At this moment, Jin Zhan also rose from his seat, smiling at the Nichirin Clan members: “The Nichirin Four are all powerful Hidden Profession Players. They are truly extraordinary. Though the Nichirin Clan lost, I think no one present can look down on these four youths, yes? Their Professions and skills are all top-tier.”

 

“You flatter us!” The Nichirin Clan’s Patriarch felt extremely displeased inside, forcing out a smile. “Those youths from your Clan are even more formidable. Not only did this battle end so quickly, our Nichirin Clan could not even do much to fight back. Your Clan must have expended tremendous effort into cultivating these four. It was my poor judgment earlier. I failed to see the potential in these four.”

 

Though he said this, the Nichirin Clan’s Patriarch was definitely unconvinced inside.

 

Originally, he had wanted to make an example out of these four, finding a soft target here to squeeze and demonstrate the Nichirin Clan’s strength. This way, the many Clans present might take his Clan as the leader of this group, and head to the Earth Tripartite under the Nichirin Clan’s Patriarchship.

 

If the Ancient God truly bestowed upon them the opportunity for an alliance, allowing everyone to gain stronger abilities while also becoming the Ancient God’s subordinates…

 

Then, their Nichirin Clan’s status would be cemented as a cut above the other Clans.

 

This was the result the Nichirin Clan wanted.

 

But who could have imagined that the unknown Clan they had picked, specifically after naming the four truly young-looking youths, their plan of wanting to establish dominance had fallen flat.

 

In fact, the result was even worse than they had anticipated. Their Clan’s pride, the Nichirin Four, were thoroughly suppressed and beaten, causing the Nichirin Clan to completely lose face.

 

This was truly kicking an iron plate…

 

At this moment, even if the Nichirin Clan’s Patriarch wanted to regret it, it was too late.

 

After this battle, if their Nichirin Clan wanted to make any statements, the number of people who would listen to them probably would not be many.

 

But what could be done? Ultimately, they had brought this on themselves. They could not blame anyone else.

 

Like Lu Fan, Jin Zhan also felt there was no need to attack the Nichirin Clan members here, thereby causing changes to the plan to head to the Earth Tripartite. Therefore, after winning the battle and exchanging a few more pleasantries with the opponent, he had Lu Fan and the others return.

 

The Nichirin Clan also had others step forward to heal the Heavy Swordsman’s injuries.

 

There were quite a few Healers present. Restoring one Heavy Swordsman back to his peak condition was extremely easy.

 

When the Heavy Swordsman awoke, he was both anxious and frustrated.

 

His entire Equipment Set had been shattered by Jian Ying and Qin Qiu’s Skills, their Durability had reached zero, and had been completely destroyed.

 

That Equipment Set had taken him so many years to collect. It was his Fourth Profession Change equipment, enough to use beyond Level 100.

 

Now, it was all destroyed. Though he could still assemble backup equipment, in terms of Attributes, there would definitely be a sharp drop.

 

But there was nothing to be done. Swords have no eyes. Could he blame Lu Fan and the others?

 

Even if he had broken teeth, he could only swallow them down.

 

After this battle, the Nichirin Clan’s voice became noticeably quieter in the subsequent meeting.

 

Finally, after nearly an hour of discussion, everyone present had exchanged all information their Clans knew about the Earth Tripartite.

 

At the same time, everyone agreed that the next morning, they would depart together for the Earth Tripartite.

 

As for the other two groups, they should also arrive at the Earth Tripartite tomorrow.

 

When that time came, everyone would use a special method to determine where the three groups would gather.

 

After the meeting ended, each Clan’s members returned to rest separately.

 

The next day, everyone assembled in the hotel lobby. Once gathered, they set off in a grand procession toward the outskirts of Sakazaki City.

 

There was a Player with a Knight Type Profession who possessed a massive centipede as a Mount.

 

This centipede was a thousand metres long, with a maximum passenger capacity of over three hundred people. It was overall a very bizarre Pet Mount.

 

However, this very conveniently solved everyone’s travel problem.

 

All those without the ability to fly or Mounts could ride this centipede.

 

Lu Fan and Jin Zhan naturally also chose to ride this centipede as well.

 

After all, it was not that the two lacked Flying Mounts. Rather, if they summoned their Flying Mounts, they would definitely shock everyone here.

 

Qin Qiu and the others, however, were unwilling to have any contact with this disgusting thing, riding their own Ice Crystal Beasts instead.
