Chapter 63 - Tribulation... Its unworthy (1/2)

”Why did you do that just now Na'er?”

Gu Yue stood on the rooftop with an extremely cold expression on her face as she faced down the silver-haired girl.

Na'er smiled innocently. ”I was just trying to see if Huang Yu really liked you. Wouldn't it be such a shame if your feelings were one-sided? As you can see, it worked out very well.”

Hearing this, Gu Yue sneered. ”Don't think I don't know what game you were trying to play. You better stay away from him from now on. If you don't, Tang Wulin may have a little accident down the line.”

”Hmph, you don't understand my good intentions.” Na'er said as her expression darkened.

”I've already given you my warning. Don't forget that I don't need you if I want to achieve my goals.” Gu Yue said decisively before she left.

When Na'er saw that Gu Yue had gone, she clenched her fists in anger.

'I'm sorry brother, that's all I can do for you for now.'

”Give me a report.”

”Of course my king!”

Huang Yu sat in a luxurious chair inside the Nox headquarters as Xiao Chen kneeled in front of him.

”We've managed to infiltrate most of the organisations that exist on the continent. Out of all of them, we have planted the most turncoats in the Tang Sect. Unfortunately, we haven't managed to get our men inside Shrek Academy because the people inside are too loyal. Also, we haven't managed to find any traces of the Holy Spirit Cult.”

”I see. In that case, I'll take care of Shrek Academy personally when the time comes. For now, just do more preparations. I want this to succeed on the first try.”

”Yes, my king.” Xiao Chen answered with her face looking down.

Huang Yu tapped his chin before speaking once more. ”What rank are you guys at right now? I haven't checked up on you guys for quite a while.”

At those words, Xiao Chen instantly perked up. ”My king, I've managed a breakthrough to the Titled Douluo stage quite recently. Along with the genetic enhancements you've given me, fighting two to three ranks above is not a problem even without battle armour.”

”As for Bishop Guang Biao and Bishop Romario, the two of them should be Rank 93 and Rank 92 respectively. The priests should all be around Rank 65 to Rank 80, my king.”

”Not bad,” Huang Yu complimented.

”It is all thanks to you, my king. If you hadn't improved our natural talents and given us some faith energy, we would not have our current achievements.”

Xiao Chen's words were the truth. In fact, if Huang Yu hadn't improved their talents with faith energy and redirected some faith energy to them, they definitely wouldn't manage to improve from their meagre cultivation levels to the current stage they have achieved in such a short timeframe.

Not only that, their foundations weren't weak at all. With the amount of followers Huang Yu had at the moment, the amount of faith energy they could use was nigh infinite.

”What is your ninth spirit ring though?”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen released a glaring red spirit ring behind her.

Huang Yu's eyes widened imperceptibly. ”You hunted down a genuine spirit beast for this?”

”Yes, my king. I killed a 1000 year old spirit beast and absorbed its ring before increasing its age to the 100000+ year old level with vital energy you have collected from your followers..”

”Was it to avoid the tribulation?”

”You are correct, my king.”

A smile appeared on Huang Yu's face as he stood up. ”Good. In that case, call Guang Biao and Romario. Jorm has been at the 30000+ year old level for too long. I'll let him break through to the 100000+ year old stage in one fell swoop.”

A look of shock appeared on Xiao Chen's face. ”Then won't it face the tribulation then my king?”

”Exactly. That's why I want all of you to come with me. I need the lot of you to seal up the area where Jorm is going to breakthrough so that no one else can sense it.”

”Ahh, I see my king. I shall obey your orders.” Xiao Chen said humbly before leaving the room to contact Guang Biao and Romario. She didn't forget to give another bow to Huang Yu before that of course.

In the middle of nowhere, Huang Yu was there with his three bishops standing behind him.

With a gesture of Huang Yu's hands, a massive black spirit ring appeared above him. From it, a humongous serpent with dull silver scales emerged. As a result of its length, it took quite a while for its full body to come out.

This serpent was obviously Jorm, who was at its true size.

At this moment, Huang Yu spoke. ”Seal the area.”

”Yes, my king!” the three bishops shouted in unison before they flew off in three different directions. After each of them flew around a kilometre away from the origin point, they mobilised their spirit energy.
