Chapter 2816 Revelation
"I admit defeat."
Davis had given a thumbs up before he unceremoniously announced his surrender and walked off the platform with such gait as though he couldn't give two spirit stones about being the last man standing on that battle stage, holding true to his words.
"…"
Meanwhile, the crowd was still shocked, unable to believe their eyes that he just blew ten youths just like that, and within them were also a few who were heavenly geniuses, like the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's previous Clan Lord candidate.
"No… No way…"
"How can it be…? Mo Tian can battle seven levels higher…?"
"Im-Impossible…"
Thousands of gasps escaped as they resounded within the hall. Almost every face that was present was taken aback, with deep disbelief gleaming in their eyes.
In response, Davis merely released a bit of his martial undulations, causing everyone to widen their eyes in understanding.
"Oh, he has stepped into Level Eight Immortal Stage..."
"No wonder… no wonder…"
Some Immortal Kings were able to perceive that when he released a barrage of fists at his opponents, so they didn't say much, but the others were now able to perceive, allowing them to understand that Mo Tian had grown stronger in cultivation in this time frame.
Indeed, thanks to Mingzhi, he had been able to step into the Level Eight Immortal Stage.
As Mingzhi was extremely pent up, stacking energy from Early Immortal Stage to all the way up to the peak, Level Nine Immortal Stage, storing so much energy within her yin essence which he was able to plunder and enjoy, allowing him to make a breakthrough and even stabilize in it.
In fact, he was only a little bit away from reaching Level Nine Immortal Stage.
Nonetheless, he returned to Starlight Jade Wolf King's side, and just before he could find himself seated, he was stopped by a golden-robed man.
"You… you are very powerful, like my friend. I would like to befriend you."
Drake smiled with a sly look on his face, appearing like a merchant who had found a good deal as he had his stature slightly lowered in front of Mo Tian.
"Ahaha! Look at this idiot trying to crawl his way through, latching onto the thighs of Mo Tian."
"Shameless and… even more shameless than the women screaming for Mo Tian's attention here…!"
"Is he truly the young Emperor of Death's friend or proclaims to be one?"
Many began doubting the authenticity of Drake Blackburn's relationship with the Emperor of Death. There was no way someone who had reached such heights would take on someone with dubious intentions like this, causing them to think Mo Tian would be the same, and as expected, they saw Mo Tian sneer.
"Do you being friends with that dead person has something to do with me?"
"Well, I can say with assurance if he was… alive, you two would be good friends."
Drake still kept smiling, and his smile didn't appear to be genuine at all, but Mo Tian became taken aback and threw his hands.
"Oh no, I had enough of Divergents."
"Ahaha~"
The people couldn't help but burst laughing, knowing that Mo Tian was targeted by Dead End. But swiftly, they saw him pointing towards Drake as he bent his hands.
"However, if you really want to befriend me, you can… become my servant."
"That…"
Mo Tian enunciated with a pause as his eyes flickered, causing the people to snicker at Drake, knowing that was well deserved for a fool thirsty for power and influence. However, someone didn't see it to be proper.
"Mo Tian, I think that's inappropriate."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King opened his mouth, causing Mo Tian to release a wide smile inevitably.
"I see. Then giving face to the Starlight Jade Wolf King, I'll at least consider you someone I know, an acquaintance."
Mo Tian dropped his hands and folded, looking away as though he was reluctant but still gave face to the Starlight Jade Wolf King, causing many to wonder how highly Mo Tian respected the latter.
"That would do as well. Ah, please sit..."
But at this moment, the crowd's eyes went wide as they saw Drake place and hand on Mo Tian's shoulders and pat him as though they were truly friends, slightly gesturing for Mo Tian to be seated.
This made them feel alarmed, wondering what Mo Tian was going to do next. However…
"Bastard, your family was extremely worried for you! Why would you do something foolish like breaking your own life jade and putting on a show like this!?"
"It's a long story. Don't bother about it, and keep up the act. We'll talk later."
Davis and Drake exchanged soul transmissions through physical contact, one that couldn't even be detected.
But as soon as that brief moment was over, Davis flicked Drake's hand away from his shoulder, appearing solemn, "The next time you touch me, there would be one less arm for you to move."
He coldly spoke in Mo Tian's voice, causing Drake to shudder as he took two steps back, appearing shaken. He glared at Mo Tian before clenching his fists and returning to his seat, only to receive a soul transmission.
"Young man, you are crossing your limits. Although you are the young Emperor of Death's friend, that doesn't give you free rein to do whatever you please."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King spoke coldly, causing Drake to shudder again as he felt an extraordinary pressure even without being suppressed.
"I apologize, Starlight Jade Wolf King. I have just ascended, and I am weak, not to mention that I can't possibly squander my benefactor's resources to search for my friend, so… it's just, I thought if my friend is still alive, then I must gain people like Mo Tian in order to save him."
"…"
Drake's words left the Starlight Jade Wolf King speechless for a moment. A moment later, he lightly shook his head.
"Your intentions may be good and admirable, but the way you're going about is sly. Try being sincere to Mo Tian. So far, he hasn't betrayed me, perhaps because I adopted a sincere attitude in protecting him from the very start."
"I thank the Starlight Jade Wolf King for the valuable advice."
Drake nodded to the Starlight Jade Wolf King and lowered his head, seemingly descending into contemplation.
'The fuck…? He has everyone, the leaders of so many major powers and even his own allies fooled…?'
Drake wondered what the hell was going on for Davis to be this secretive in his actions. But still, he couldn't help but inwardly smile as Davis was not only still alive but seemed extremely powerful, making him feel ambitious himself.
'Now that's out of the way, let's see what kind of beauties are here...'
He raised his head, beginning to search for one, finally recognizing that the women who were here all looked gorgeous, leaving only the stronger ones with immense aura shrouding them more visible than the others.
In the meantime, the third segment was soon going to be over, as only three youths were left on the battle stage.
But at this moment, on the other side of the battle stage, the Zyrus Family Patriarch frowned his brows.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Patriarch."
A black-robed man beside him with white fabric relevant in the torso and sleeves spoke with solemness.
"As the leading apothecary here, I can say for sure that one of our people who was dozed with the Myriad Toxic Hydrafang Poison and was treated by Apothecary Mo Tian was not treated with pills. Although traces of pill essence had been found in their system, it is analyzed that they were only used to grant the effects of numbing pain and allow the patient to sleep soundly, making it so that the only way he could've healed them was through using light energy that was found throughout their body. This could potentially mean that..."
"Mo Tian's healing prowess is on par with a Saint's…?"
The Zyrus Family Patriarch's gaze shook, causing the Zyrus Family's apothecary to give a solemn nod.
"If he could truly cure the Myriad Toxic Hydrafang Poison with just his energy… I'm afraid that's the case… and his adamance to not reveal his healing methods or use his soul force outside his body supports this speculation..."
The Zyrus Family Patriarch clenched his teeth, unable to believe how the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan could just bag Mo Tian away like this. But at this moment, he also saw other leaders consulting with their leading apothecaries, causing him to come to an understanding that they were also starting to become aware that Mo Tian was someone whom they had greatly underestimated, someone with the possibility of being crowned a Saint!
