Chapter 980, Maximizing Losses

Translator: Silavin

 

Lu Fan showed no mercy. After all, he did not want to waste too much time with a small character like Mikami Heiji.

 

Earlier, he had merely wanted to see what degree of control Qin Qiu and the others had achieved over their Ancient God Power.

 

Seeing them able to use Ancient God Power to summon a miniaturized Asura King without alerting him was already enough.

 

Everything afterward was simply Lu Fan letting Qin Qiu and the others have some fun, using the rare opponent called Mikami Heiji to properly test out their new found abilities.

 

Fighting Mikami Heiji for so long was already enough for Qin Qiu and the others. After all, if they wanted to end the battle, they could simply use Jian Ying’s Skill and be done with it.

 

Therefore, Mikami Heiji no longer had any use for Lu Fan and the others.

 

Since that was the case, they might as well just take him down right now.

 

Moreover, he had come looking for trouble himself, wanting to fight Lu Fan.

 

After Lu Fan shattered his weapon with one palm strike, taking advantage of his opponent’s shock, he raised his leg and kicked Mikami Heiji’s shoulder.

 

Mikami Heiji had not reacted at all when Lu Fan’s kick struck him.

 

With a *crack*, his shoulder bone shattered, and his entire body flew sideways, directly smashing through the table in front of the Archpriest.

 

The Archpriest frowned and stood up, stepping back several paces to avoid being affected.

 

When he looked at Mikami Heiji before him again, the man was already clutching his shoulder and letting out pig-like squeals.

 

Who won and who lost this battle was obvious at a glance.

 

The scene fell completely silent. No one had expected that Mikami Heiji, the greatest genius from ten years ago, would be completely helpless against the opponent’s Combination Skill from the very start.

 

Finally managing to reach the backline, the opponent had shattered his weapon and sent him flying with just one palm strike and one kick.

 

The difference in strength between the two sides was like a chasm…

 

These five people; each and every one of them was absurdly powerful.

 

The front three having a Combination Skill was one thing, but how could a Totem Master who remained in the backline possess such terrifying strength!?

 

Although Totem Master was a Hidden Profession, Professions related to Totems were not actually that uncommon.

 

There were many Totem Masters in this world.

 

But such a terrifying Totem Master was a first in the world.

 

For a moment, everyone looking at Lu Fan saw him as if he were a harbinger of doom.

 

Many also felt fortunate they had not chosen this walking bomb as their opponent.

 

After all, quite a few people had actually wanted to select Players with Support Specialised Professions as their opponents, since Supporters definitely suffered in a 1V1.

 

Looking at it now, thank goodness Mikami Heiji chose Lu Fan. Otherwise, whoever picked this harbinger of doom would have had eight lifetimes of terrible luck, wouldn’t they?

 

Mikami Heiji’s screams continued incessantly, making the Archpriest somewhat irritated.

 

He immediately beckoned, signalling other Sect members to come forward, to drag this person away. Also, to bring him a new set of table and chair so he would have somewhere to sit while supervising the final test.

 

Just as two members had just helped Mikami Heiji up, he suddenly remembered something and called out loudly. “You have been eliminated. The other five will all enter the Tsukimi Sect. According to the previous agreement, you need to give the Tsukimi Sect another ten Epic Grade items.”

 

Hearing this, Mikami Heiji’s screams came to an abrupt halt.

 

He had almost forgotten he had agreed to such a thing with the Archpriest earlier.

 

Now, Mikami Heiji nearly vomited blood.

 

Originally, his purpose in offering ten Epic Grade items was to get the Archpriest to agree to let him fight against those five. He never thought there was any possibility of him losing ten Epic Grade items.

 

Who could have imagined he would actually lose and lose so miserably!

 

This way, not only did he fail to enter the Tsukimi Sect, but he had spent ten, no, it should be eleven Epic Grade items to help Lu Fan and the others all enter the Tsukimi Sect.

 

He had already harboured resentment toward Lu Fan and the others, and now he had spent his own money to help Lu Fan and the others all enter the Tsukimi Sect. At the same time, he had been defeated by Lu Fan and the others in such a humiliating manner… He had become a laughingstock before so many people. This was truly too much to bear!

 

Mikami Heiji now truly wanted to die.

 

“What are you standing there for? Quickly hand over the Epic Grade items so I can offer them and distribute them to the other members within the Sect.” Seeing his continued inaction, the Archpriest frowned and urged.

 

“Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word!?” Mikami Heiji could hear the impatience in the Archpriest’s tone, his words full of threatening intent.

 

He gritted his teeth, considered for a long moment, then suddenly pushed away the person beside him, activated his Buff, and turned to run.

 

Ten Epic Grade items. He had them and he could take them out.

 

But he would need to hand over all the equipment on his body.

 

These were all items that had all been painstakingly acquired; losing any single piece would greatly diminish his strength.

 

Therefore, he definitely could not hand it over.

 

And the only way to avoid handing them over was to flee.

 

Seeing Mikami Heiji unable to accept defeat and trying to escape, the Archpriest snorted coldly. “*Hmph!* It seems from the very beginning, you never intended to hand over those ten Epic Grade items. Do you think the Tsukimi Sect is something you can toy with as you please!?”

 

After saying this, he tapped his staff on the ground.

 

Immediately, the Moon in the sky actually responded, shooting down a beam of pure white light from sky at extreme speed, instantly enveloping Mikami Heiji.

 

Caught off guard, Mikami Heiji collided with the moonlight with a *thud*, heavily bouncing back, his injuries even more severe.

 

He staggered a few steps. Seeing himself imprisoned by the moonlight, he grew even more frantic.

 

He took out his backup weapon and used Skills in succession, trying to break through the moonlight blocking him.

 

However, even when he used his Fourth Profession and Fifth Profession Skills, the moonlight continued falling gently without any sign of breaking.

 

Seeing this scene, Lu Fan slightly narrowed his eyes, inwardly overjoyed.

 

Not because he was happy to see Mikami Heiji being targeted, but because he had finally sensed Ancient God Power from this ray of moonlight!

 

Clearly, the reason the Archpriest was so powerful, able to leave Mikami Heiji helpless with a single Skill, was not from his own strength.

 

Rather, he had been granted a small portion of Ancient God Power by the Ancient God, allowing him to mobilize some of this power that did not belong to him.

 

Finally, Lu Fan could confirm that Tsukimi Sect was indeed connected to an Ancient God.
