Chapter 2819 Wiping The Floor
"Third place is too much for a single individual. Considering the number of segments available, they would have as many as five or six votes within them. Even we, the leaders of these powers, don't have such influence and shouldn't have."
"Yes, that was the whole point of granting votes through wins."
The Zyrus Family Patriarch and the Bloodcloud Family Patriarch rejected the Starlight Jade Wolf King's proposal using reason.
"In essence, most of our votes were obtained by Mo Tian's sheer strength, so I assume what I'm asking is not overboard."
However, the Starlight Jade Wolf King didn't give up, catching the other leaders off guard as their expressions turned a bit embarrassed as they indeed saw that Mo Tian's entrance had indeed given them all an opportunity to rake in wins regardless of their innate strengths.
"I disagree. I believe we have fairly compensated him for his wins, so even if he did win for us, that win ultimately belongs to us."
The Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch declared, turning to look towards the Lumin Family.
"Lumin Family Patriarch, only your power still hasn't given Mo Tian what you have promised."
"Ai… it's still on its way. I received word that it is almost close. Apothecary Mo Tian, I'm going to have you wait for a bit more time. Is that fine?"
"Fair enough."
Mo Tian nodded as though he wasn't bothered, causing the Lumin Family Patriarch to smile. On the other hand, the other leaders looked at the Lumin Family Patriarch with some strangeness.
Was he truly going to recruit the other party with his family's blood?
They didn't know, but with how Mo Tian was adamant, they couldn't help but feel he wouldn't use their blood on his own body somehow.
"How about this? Mo Tian will come to possess a voting right on par with the best provincial power."
"I agree."
"That seems fair."
Instantly, everyone else began to echo their agreement to the Zyrus Family Patriarch's proposal. The Starlight Jade Wolf King frowned, but he knew since they had set the bar already, it would be difficult to change their minds.
"What do you think, Apothecary Mo Tian?" The Zyrus Family Patriarch asked with a light smile.
"Fair enough."
Again, Mo Tian gave a nonchalant answer, startling many.
They wondered if they had offended him by not giving him many votes, but they truly thought it was fair enough since only powers were given votes and not individuals. If Mo Tian wasn't a person with the potential to become a Saint, then they wouldn't have even been this courteous to him even if he was so strong.
The difference between a martial cultivator and a healing cultivator was too great as the latter was too rare!
Besides, as long as it was a healing cultivator, they could nurture them in a safe place, but a martial cultivator would require them to go out and risk plenty of death scenarios. However, Mo Tian was both, making him more important than ever.
That made them give him the voting rights of the best provincial power and not the lowest. In their opinion, this was already unfair to the provincial powers that they could even see their expressions being not good right now.
If it weren't for the Blood Soul Contract binding them, perhaps, they might've displayed their disagreement in a vigorous tone or just outright left.
Nonetheless, they saw that Apothecary Mo Tian didn't bicker and confirmed to move on with that proposal.
Soon, the fourth segment was decided. It was none other than Martial Prowess, leaving everyone gawking as they looked at Mo Tian.
This time, the Starlight Jade Wolf King unceremoniously sent Mo Tian to battle for them from the very beginning. It was unknown what the former offered the latter, but they all felt that the Starlight Jade Wolf King didn't offer anything but just used Mo Tian's gratitude to send him to fight.
They clenched their teeth, wondering how to counter this move, so they sent their most powerful martial experts from the get-go.
"Ahhhh!~"
With just a single fist, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's most powerful fey Body Tempering Cultivator was sent flying like a kite that had its strings cut.
"Winner, Mo Tian."
"…"
The people watched Mo Tian's opponent with rat ears and a slim, long tail didn't wake up, seemingly having gone unconscious while being deeply injured, bleeding on every end as though internal rupture had occurred that even the pores were destroyed, causing blood to pour out from many places.
"Martial Prowess is my territory, so if I don't perform well, I feel as though I would've betrayed the trust placed on me. On the other hand, since I would not hold back to prove myself, life and death could be decided in an instant."
Mo Tian pulled his fist back and heaved an intense sigh before cupping his hands toward many.
"…"
His words resounded in their hearts as a simple threat: Just don't send your cultivators to the battle stage.
However, some didn't believe that he was truly unbeatable and sent their Body Tempering experts.
*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*
Three quick and clean single hits on three opponents completely changed the minds of the leaders.
None of these martial experts were able to stand against Mo Tian as soon as the battle started, leaving the crowd speechless, mortified, and even amazed.
The powers could only receive back their critically injured disciples with complex gazes.
From then on, every power simply folded, surrendering without a single ounce of embarrassment on their faces.
The whole scene made the crowd feel like it was rigged. They watched the powers stand up and announce their surrender one by one before the final power also surrendered, leaving them feeling surreal as well as amazed beyond compare, a sense of disbelief and pride emerging in their hearts as they watched Apothecary Mo Tian, knowing that he was going to in their alliance.
"I, Mo Tian, thank everyone for acknowledging my martial prowess and allowing me to have free wins."
Davis cupped his hands for the last time and descended the battle stage.
His stature and elegance while flying simply left many ladies staring at him as though they were mesmerized. Even men were caught in the spell, wanting to be like him as their blood boiled with excitement.
After all, the entire scene was simply… dominating!
They had never seen someone even as half as dominating as him in the same realm that it made their hearts churn. But as for the heavenly geniuses, they had mixed feelings as they were nearby yet couldn't seemingly reach his prowess by a slight margin.
With Mo Tian returning with all twenty-six wins, the Starlight Jade Wolf King had also stood up, patting the former's shoulder with a bright smile on his face.
"Excellent! I have a strong feeling that you'll surely surpass me, Mo Tian."
"…!"
Many people couldn't help but feel shocked upon hearing that statement from the Starlight Jade Wolf King. After all, the Starlight Jade Wolf King was a King-Tier Immortal King Beast, meaning that he could be already three levels higher, but in his younger years, he was also known to be a heavenly genius, making it so that his prowess could very well be five levels higher in the Immortal King Beast Stage!
That wasn't a simple feat as those who possess a higher battle prowess in Immortal Stage would tend to have their battle prowess lowered simply because of the incredibly wide gap present in the levels of the next stage, not to mention that it was dependent upon many factors, such as Law Comprehension, which if they fail to keep up, would also lower their prowess bit by bit as they increase their cultivation.
Nonetheless, their shock came from the fact that they knew that the Starlight Jade Wolf King was most likely the strongest leader present here within the inner hall! So if such a kingly being was being humble and publicly saying that Mo Tian would likely surpass him, then they felt that it must be true!
