Min Hong's aura shot through the roof as he ordered Little Bing to let loose, restricting only her Slaughter Dao, and the moment that happened, Min Hong's aura shot up another 100 percent, due to the Dao boost effect of Little Bing being a Peak Grade Diamond Tier Weapon…

Tong Tian at this point gazed at Min Hong and yelled into the heavens, and now, not only was his Monkey King Spirit active, his Barbarian Ape Spirit Ring also came alive; obviously he was going all out…

​​

In just ten seconds, Min Hong and Tong Tian had surged to the peak of their potential and power as Tong Tian had the total battle power of a 2 Star Saint Stage expert which bore a testimony to why he was about to enter the core court, whilst Min Hong's total battle power amounted to a Peak Nascent Soul stage total battle power because he had accepted not to use his Qi cultivation, and his cultivation would have been much lower if not for Little Bing's 100 percent boost…

Min Hong was sure that the difference was caused by the difference between a Peak Emperor stage cultivator and a 3 Star Awakening Stage expert…

That was a huge gulf that couldn't just be crossed by ordinary means, and that means, what would determine the outcome of this battle would be whatever technique both of them had, and Min Hong had a crazy idea boiling within his mind that he was so eager to try out, and just the mere thought of this idea had Little Fei and Daniel grinning from ear to ear mischievously…

"Fei Hong, here I come!"

Tong Tian bellowed; Monkey Madness! Barbaric Rage! He used two of his top techniques at once as he blasted towards Min Hong, the recoil from his forward gust actually shattered the cage chain that was behind him…

Two wings flapped out of Min Hong's back stunning everyone within his apartment except for Qing Tan and Min Qing;

"What!?"

Elder Yun nearly choked on her juice, whilst Elder Long saw his eyes almost pop out of their sockets; obviously this was their first time seeing this, Min Rou sighed in wonder, whilst Princess Cui and her guard felt their hearts tremble with intense waves of awe…

Dragon Slayer Staff - First Stance: Chaotic Soul Clobbering!

Min Hong bellowed;

Boom!

Min Hong smashed Little Bing into Tong Tian's staff and purposely directed it towards a certain location as Little Bing also slipped out of Min Hong's hands…

Tong Tian's staff slammed into the cage chains and tore through it like it was tofu, before slamming the arena barrier and moving through it like hot pin through butter, and then finally cracking the sect leader's barrier and falling to the ground…

Then Little Bing came over and blasted the spatial barrier apart, before moving on with insane momentum…

By the time everyone traced her direction, they saw Elder Peng right in its path;

"Unh!"

Elder Peng who had been carried away by the battle saw the incoming staff and instantly braced for impact, but there wasn't enough time as Little Bing slammed ferociously and squarely into his chest with so much power that it seems she was lashing out at Elder Peng for the beating she had received from Tong Tian's staff earlier…

Elder Peng shot into the stands and blasted through coming out of the Reaper's Lair entirely, before dragging a two feet deep and ten meter long gully on the ground, as he laid there unmoving…

Knocked out cold with blood streaming out of his mouth…

Then the disciples who peeped through the second hole Min Hong had created today saw Elder Peng's cracked armor, and sighed in relief when they noticed he was still alive…

Meanwhile…

Flashback to about five seconds ago…

The moment Min Hong smashed the staff off Tong Tian's hands, he bellowed; Buddhist Palm of the Cherubs; First Script: Print of the Ancient Saints!

Then searing hot soul power erupted from Min Hong's body as a shadow of Buddha appeared behind him before throwing a single palm at Tong Tian,

Slam!

Tong Tian returned with twice the amount of momentum he came with as he slammed back into the pit he had crawled out from earlier;

Boom!

Tong Tian dug deeper into the pit before stopping at about ten feet into the earth…

Min Hong landed and wobbled back and forth slightly before stabilizing himself and his giddy head with a forceful step…

It took about five solid before a dirtied hand clawed the edge of the pit as Tong Tian crawled out of the pit like a demon from the depths of hell…

He was miserable, and there was a glaring palm print on his armor that had sunk by about five inches…

Tong Tian pulled off his armor and fell to his knees before collapsing to the floor, wheezing painfully as he tried to get air through his blood soaked lungs…

Yup, not only had he puked a litre of blood within the pit, he had also suffered grievous internal injuries and was utterly exhausted…

Min Hong walked to his sides and sat down cross legged beside him in utter exhaustion…

He flicked his wrist and two spirit fruits appeared in his hands as he began to eat one to recover whilst he gave the other one to Tong Tian who was stunned about how generous Min Hong was…

The fruit Min Hong had just nonchalantly offered him was a very potent spirit fruit that was highly sought after by several merchants that trade between multiple empires…

It could have easily fetched a huge sum of money, but just as he was about to reject it;

"It's nothing, I have lots of it and better ones…" Min Hong shoved the fruit into his hand as Tong Tian wolfed it down…

Two minutes later, he sat up and began to laugh hard, stunning Min Hong…

He laughed so hard that water was accumulating at the edges of his eyes;

"That was the most exhilarating battle I have ever had in years!"

"Thanks brother, you really helped me loosen my bones and let out some pent up battle intent… Now I feel a lot lighter!"

Tong Tian said with a wide grin as he stood up and stretched his hands towards Min Hong to help Min Hong up…

Min Hong took his arm and stood up and whilst still shaking Tong Tian asked;

"Can you ensure that we will always have these level of spars once in a while?"

"Certainly… As a matter of fact, there are two others within my group that will give you the exhaustion of your life…"

Tong Tian beamed with smile when he heard Min Hong who was obviously insinuating Long Sha and Kun Chao…

"Where do I signup?" Tong Tian asked;

"This handshake and the sore all over my body is enough signature…"

"Welcome to the Hong Dynasty, Pal…" Min Hong said as he and Tong Tian shook hands with smiles…

Roar!

The crowd erupted in cheers and it was only then that Min Hong and Tong Tian realized that everyone had been silent earlier…

The crowds were so happy that those who lost their bets forgot about their loss; just being able to watch a battle on such scale alone was more than any amount of spirit stones or merit points they could have ever lost…

All the affiliate sect leaders also had smiles on their faces as sect leader Mei spoke;

"Even though we have to return empty handed, you have still being a wonderful host by having us witness this level of battle…"

She said as she bowed to the Imperials, then the sect leader and finally the grand elders who all had proud grins on their faces;

"Since you have come it would be nonsensical to have you all return empty handed, thus the crown prince have decided to bestow you all with some gifts, even if I sadly have none for you all…" Patriarch Chu Huang spoke as he turned to Chu Yang…

Everyone within the VIP area was stunned at the mention of the word 'Crown Prince'… Didn't that mean that the successor to the throne had been chosen;

"Venerable Patriarch, being the first set of people to know and see the successor to the throne of our Dogon Empire is a bigger gift than any gift we could have ever received, asides the gift itself, of-course…"

The Merchant Alliance Head spoke with vigor and joy as he clasped his hands before giving Patriarch Chu Huang a deep bow, and then repeating the same thing for Chu Yang…

The rest of the VIP's including the sect leader and the grand elders also did the same thing…

Then when they were done, Chu Yang stood to his feet and all of them bowed their heads slightly before speaking;

"The winners of today not only belongs to the Desert Sun Sect which in turn belongs to the Imperial Clan, you all may choose as you see fit from the opponents that fought the challengers…"

The moment he finished, everyone bowed once again before the sect leader spoke;

"The crown prince is wise and has shown true qualities of a great emperor, may the empire bask in the glory its future brings…"

Everyone also gave their compliments and before long everyone departed with joy; some ready to spread the great news about the crown prince whilst the others ready to narrate the entire 'War God Trials' in complete, perfect and exaggerated details…
