Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1245

"A Martial Monarch?"

Qin Nan's eyes glistened as he flew toward the ninth floor with a kick.

The floor covered an area with a circumference of five hundred zhang. The walls no longer had ancient paintings but were engraved with mysterious runes. Each of them unleashed streams of magical force into three stone statues that stood at the center.

The three stone statues were over ten zhang tall. They were white, purple, and red respectively. They were carved with such precision that they looked partially alive. On top of that, restless formidable forces were rumbling inside the statues, as if they were being awakened.

The forces were those of the Martial Monarch Realm.

In other words, there was not only one Martial Monarch on the ninth floor, but three.

"How is it possible for the stone statues to possess the power of the Martial Monarch Realm? Wait, something isn't right. As a matter of fact, these stone statues aren't actually Martial Monarchs. They only possess powers equivalent to the first-layer of the Martial Monarch Realm..."

Qin Nan's eyes flickered in astonishment as his heart exclaimed.

He had inspected the stone statues with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle.

The three statues were constructed with some unique method using the blood and bones of Martial Monarchs and lots of mysterious ancient minerals. On top of that, the support from the mysterious runes had increased their strength to the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm.

It was enough to indicate how extraordinary the person who had refined them was.

"Heavenly Fortune Mouse? Heavenly Fortune Hounds? Huh, this skeleton is also somehow related to our Heavenly Fortune Tribe?"

The red stone statue in the middle quickly glanced at Qin Nan before looking at the two hounds and one mouse and Skeleton Xiao Hong.

At that instant, the monarch force inside the three stone statues calmed down gradually. The pressure from their presence slowly dissipated too.

"Greetings, senior."

"Squeak squeak."

The two hounds and one mouse brought their paws together.

"Three seniors, are they able to join the Heavenly Fortune Tribe?"

Qin Nan brought his fists together with a rather humble tone.

"This Heavenly Fortune Hounds and Heavenly Fortune Mouse's bloodline is rather ordinary. As for this skeleton, she is related to the Heavenly Fortune Tribe, but the bond isn't strong enough." The eyes of the red stone statue flickered as it added, "That being said, I will allow them to enter as long as they hand over fifteen Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits."

"That's right, fifteen Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits will do."

The other two stone statues followed.

Normally, they would not need to pay any Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.

However, there were only a few people joining the Heavenly Fortune Tribe through the Heavenly Fortune Palace.

The three stone statues already possessed their own intelligence, thus they wanted to cultivate too. However, according to the rules, they were not allowed to leave the Heavenly Fortune Palace. Hence, when Qin Nan and his crew arrived, they decided to profit from their misfortune by demanding they pay.

Most importantly, the bloodline of the two hounds and one mouse was not outstanding enough to attract their attention. Meanwhile, the human and skeleton were not Martial Monarchs, thus they were not worthy of their respect.

"Our bloodline is rather ordinary?"

The two hounds pull long faces due to the shock.

They finally realized that Big Sis had just been lying to them.

"Here are fifteen Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits."

Qin Nan was clueless about the details. Without hesitation, he handed fifteen Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits over with a flick.

"Mm, not bad. Human, you get the idea."

The red statue slightly nodded. After receiving the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits, he performed a hand seal together with the other two statues.

Following a bang, a five zhang tall white light door appeared behind them. The same drawing hung above the door, which also had Madam Heavenly Fortune in it.

"Go, Xiao Hong, I'll leave them under your care."

Qin Nan said smilingly, glancing at the two hounds and one mouse.

"Affirmative, master."

Skeleton Xiao Hong nodded. The flames in her eyes flickered.

If she were able to make it into the Heavenly Fortune Tribe, she would be able to find a way to recover her memory. After that, she would find a way to improve the Heavenly Fortune Hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse's bloodline, thus allowing them to rise among the Heavenly Fortune Tribe.

Then they would be able to help their master.

"Master, do remember us if you find anything good."

"Squeak, squeak."

The two hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse were reluctant to part ways.

However, as soon as they bid farewell, a loud snap exploded like thunder!

"How bold!"

The three stone statues that had been quite friendly immediately unleashed a terrifying aura. Their gazes were cold and filled with murderous intent!

Qin Nan, Skeleton Xiao Hong, the two hounds, and one mouse were startled.

Why had the three stone statues become furious all of a sudden?

"Heavenly Fortune Hounds, Heavenly Fortune Mouse, you're considered those of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe despite your ordinary bloodline. How could you refer to this human as your master? I now command you to break this relationship. Otherwise, you will never go to the Heavenly Fortune Tribe!"

"That's right, break the relationship!"

The voices of the three stone statues were thunderous!

The palace began to tremble at that instant!

"Break the relationship? I didn't know the Heavenly Fortune Tribe had such a rule?"

Qin Nan frowned.

Madam Heavenly Fortune was well aware of him subduing the Heavenly Fortune Mouse and the Heavenly Fortune Hounds. If the Heavenly Fortune Tribe had the rule, why didn't she raise it before?

"We are the rules here!"

The three statues spat out coldly.

Qin Nan had guessed it right. The Heavenly Fortune Tribe did not have a rule that prohibited their people from acknowledging a human as their master.

However, the people of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe usually looked down on humans. Furthermore, the person who had refined the three stone statues bore great hatred toward humans too, thus resulting in their hostility toward the human race.

As a result, when they saw the Heavenly Fortune Mouse and the Heavenly Fortune Hounds addressing a human as their master—who was merely a peak Martial Progenitor—they completely lost their temper.

"Bark! We won't enter then, who cares!"

"Squeak, squeak!"

The two hounds and one mouse collected their thoughts and returned a glare!

Even though they were rather keen to enter the Heavenly Fortune Tribe, but asking them to break their relationship with Qin Nan?

Not a chance!

Either way, they would never leave Qin Nan nor betray him!

"How could one of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe address a mere human as their master, who has not even achieved the Martial Monarch Realm? Such disgrace! Leave the Heavenly Fortune Palace at once! You are forbidden from the Ancient Battleground forever! Otherwise, you shouldn’t blame me for being strict with someone from the same tribe!"

The three stone statues were infuriated after hearing their response. The murderous intent in their eyes grew even stronger!
