Chapter 752 - 77: High-Grade Thunderbolt Wings, Commencement of the Arena Battle!

Chapter 752: Chapter 77: High-Grade Thunderbolt Wings, Commencement of the Arena Battle!

Once the candidates were determined,

the next step was to ascertain the strategy for the battle.

Even in such tournaments, one must pay attention to method and strategy.

Especially when the strength of both sides is evenly matched.

Zhou Xun’s power is formidable, but the Demon Race will definitely send extraordinary demon beasts, with top-tier talent, divine techniques, and bloodlines.

If Zhou Xun is placed first, even if he wins the first two rounds, the mana consumption would be excessive, and there’s a risk of defeat later on.

"Our greatest assurance in this fight is still True Monarch Wangchuan. I suggest placing him last!"

"That way, he can be rested and ready!"

True Monarch Celestial One suggested.

"Indeed, putting him last avoids the problem of excessive mana consumption in the earlier rounds!" True Monarch Yama nodded slightly.

"As for the first four, I think Master Kujie should go first," True Monarch Celestial One continued,

"The Master is a Body Refining Cultivator, with a record of defeating Middle-Grade Demon Emperors, and his endurance and strength are formidable!"

"First, he can seize the initial advantage and win the first match, raising morale; secondly, his enduring strength can wear down the opponent as much as possible,"

"laying the groundwork for the next ally!"

"For the second and third positions, we should select one from True Monarch Thunder Prison and True Monarch Chang’an. They have both just advanced to Nascent Soul, not adept at prolonged battles,"

"The demon race’s second position will have been considerably exhausted by Master Kujie, allowing True Monarch Thunder Prison and the other to secure a victory,"

"Even if they don’t win, their second position will be heavily worn down, making it easy for our third position to win!"

"As for the fourth position, True Monarch Tianci should enter. His strength is formidable and can certainly surprise the Demon Race!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement,

thus confirming the battle sequence.

...

With the meeting concluded, Zhou Xun returned to the garrison,

and then withdrew with the main force, all retreating back to Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Zhou Xun returned to his Cave Mansion with Jiang Wanning, Spirit Turtle Red Noon, and others.

"Now that the great war has finally ended, we can finally live peaceful days!" Jiang Wanning couldn’t help but exclaim.

Since the Demon Race invasion, this great war had lasted for decades, with countless Human Race Cultivators falling in the battle.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun shook his head silently.

The news of the Ghost Realm’s invasion hadn’t been announced yet, known only to a few dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Compared to the war between the two races,

the battle between the two realms was truly devastating. If it failed, the entire Human Realm would turn into a Ghost Realm, with no trace of human presence.

But Zhou Xun didn’t reveal the truth to her,

allowing her to enjoy the remaining peace of mind.

After rearranging his Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun went out to visit True Monarch Iron Mountain.

Now, there was still a month left before the war with the Demon Race,

during this respite, he planned to ask True Monarch Iron Mountain to help upgrade his Thunderbolt Wings a level.

During the previous battle with the Thunder Feather Demon Emperor, he had slain a Tier Four Low-Grade Thunder Roc, and its wings were perfect for enhancing the Thunderbolt Wings.

’It’s a pity that Thunder Feather Demon Emperor was too powerful, I couldn’t defeat him!’

’Otherwise, using his Thunder Wings as the primary material might have directly made it a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!’

Musing to himself, he then stepped out of the Cave Mansion.

True Monarch Iron Mountain’s Cave Mansion wasn’t far from Zhou Xun’s residence, taking just half a quarter of an hour to arrive.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, murmured a few words, and then sent it inside,

soon after, a tall man appeared, his face full of joy.

"Younger Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"

"Naturally, I have a favor to ask of you, Daoist Brother!" Zhou Xun replied with a slight bow.

"Then come in for a chat!" he said, opening the door and inviting Zhou Xun inside.

They sat in the parlor, taking the main and guest seats.

With a wave of his hand, True Monarch Iron Mountain made a wine jar, about a foot wide, appear on the table, along with

two crimson, translucent wine cups,

clearly crafted from High-Grade Fire Attribute Spirit Jade, and quite valuable.

He picked up the wine jar, broke the clay seal,

and instantly a fragrance wafted out, accompanied by a rich Fire Spirit Power.

"This jar of Pill Origin Wine was made with the Fire Attribute Demon Pill you brought last time, perfect for tasting today!"

He poured the wine.

The wine streamed into the cups like a red thread, swirling in the crimson cups, glistening.

Zhou Xun picked up the cup, taking a sip, a rich heat spread in his mouth, with the Fire Spirit Power flowing down his throat, warming his whole body.

"Excellent wine!" Zhou Xun praised.

True Monarch Iron Mountain laughed heartily, raising his cup and drinking it all. "Younger Brother Zhou, tell me, what assistance do you need from me?"

Zhou Xun put down his cup, his expression turning serious as he said:

"Daoist Brother, to be honest, I’ve come to request your help in upgrading my Thunderbolt Wings a level."

"During the previous battle with the Thunder Feather Demon Emperor, I slew a Tier Four Low-Grade Thunder Roc, whose wings are perfect materials for enhancing the Thunderbolt Wings."

The idea of using Thunder Attribute Demon Bird wings to upgrade the Thunderbolt Wings was directly suggested by True Monarch Iron Mountain.

True Monarch Iron Mountain’s eyes lit up as he said, "I didn’t expect you’d gather the materials so quickly,"

"Thunderbolt Wings is already a rare treasure; with the Thunder Roc Wings, it will certainly reach new heights!"

"However, upgrading a Magical Treasure is no easy task, requiring a lot of materials and effort. First, let me see those Thunder Wings!"

Zhou Xun said, "Have a look, Daoist Brother!"

With that, he waved his hand, and the Tier Four Low-Grade Thunder Roc Wings appeared in the room.
