“Well, you are right. Let’s go back!” Mike understood her immediately and let her disappear. As she returned back to the palace, she appeared next to five princesses.

As soon as she appeared there, the eldest princess asked “So, how was it, Seventh Sister? What did he make you?”

“He said he wants me to be his wife.” The seventh princess suddenly felt a little heavy by this sudden question. She honestly replied what she just felt. She knew Mike was trying to get her and told her sisters that.

“What? Are you out of your mind, sister? Do you know just how lucky you are? Just look at us. A few days ago, we were either Martial King peak or early. But now, all of us are Martial Emperor. Don’t you have any idea what you are going to lose?” The second eldest sister suddenly shouted as she grabs her shoulder.

“I know. But, I don’t want to stay with the person who killed my father.” The seventh princess had her heart set on it. She didn’t want to marry someone who murdered her father.

At this moment, her eldest sister suddenly patted her head and said “Seventh sister, you are truly young. You don’t know anything about this, do you? Father has so many children but why did he love only a few of them?”

“After all, he was everyone’s father. He didn’t love the fifth sister as much as me and you. He even hates the eleventh brother. Is it because the eleventh brother is bad? No, he is a good person but being a good person doesn’t mean you will have a good result.”

“He doesn’t have the talent for cultivation. And, that’s the reason why father hates him. He doesn’t love you because you are his child. He loves you because you have that talent. Our new master has the same intention. He doesn’t love you because of your beauty or cuteness.”

“Of course, you can find someone who will love and appreciate your look. But, what then? He can’t make you stronger. Do you think your identity can save you? No, because we are already doomed the moment our father died. In the end, it is still our strength that can keep us safe.”

“This world is darker than you think, sister. Today you might sleep in your bed, the morning you might wake up in the brothel. What do you think you can do at that moment? Your fate will only continue to degrade. That’s why we must make choices in time.”

“Of course, I also have an ulterior motive for convincing you. Our talent isn’t as strong as you. We can never become his wife. And, there will be tons of women around him. If we don’t find someone from his wife status to support us, we will be buried under others.”

“Of course, we won’t force you but just think for your mother, aunts, and your sisters and then decide on what you have to say.”

Hearing her words, the seventh sister burst into tears. She had already burst into tears when she mentioned that her father didn’t love her because of who she was. But, she couldn’t deny this either.

The women who didn’t agree to become his slave were some random newly chosen concubine. They had already cheated with many men. So, they knew they couldn’t stay loyal to a certain person.

That’s why they left early. At this moment, Mike was standing in front of ten people. All of them were Martial Saint. Seven of them were male and three of them were female. They were inside on the deserted island near the Shen Wu continent.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting! I got a little busy with something.” Mike smiled and apologized before starting the battle. Suddenly, one of them asked, “Can you show us the laws?”

Mike smiled and showed the laws inside the void cage. These were just small bubbles but they could feel the power of law from those bubbles. It wasn’t hard to distinguish. After they thought for a moment, another man asked “So, why do you want to battle? If you want to prove your strength then you have already proven it.”

“And, I don’t think fighting us will improve your strength.”

Mike smiled and shook his head, explaining “You are wrong. There are things that can always be improved. And, I have one of them. To improve it, I need constant. Up until now, I haven’t got a chance to battle properly except once.”

“But, even then it was still hard to improve it.”

As he said, he makes a cut in his body and released three drops of blood. But, before they could fall, the drops of blood transformed into his clones. When those clones appeared, everyone had alertness in their eyes.

Even though they were simply clones, they had the same strength as him except they can’t use Physique Abilities or skills or bloodline abilities.

“Don’t be so alert! These aren’t here to attack you rather they are here to defend me. After all, we barely know each other.” As Mike said, he started restricting his physical strength. Of course, his spirit alone helps him fight against Martial Saint.

Rather, it is his body that utilizes his spirit to damage the opponent. Unfortunately, his current spirit can only damage the Martial King. That’s why he locked his strength Martial Saint. As for his Qi and others, he completely locked them since he had no intention to use them.

“All of you versus me! Don’t worry, as long as you don’t gang up to kill me, nothing will happen.” Mike pointed at them as he asked his clones to retreat. He slowly released his slaughter spirit to his fists.

As soon as the slaughter spirit appeared, the purple energy coats his body. Although the slaughter scent was heavy, it wasn’t enough to make them fear.

“Alright, who wants to come first?” Mike looked at them and asked.

“My name is Hou Tian. I also trained my body.” A bulky martial saint walked towards him and greeted him with a bow.

“That’s good! Just remember even though my attacks won’t do much harm, I am still using Martial Saint’s physical strength. So, you can expect a battle.” Mike said as he condensed a thick amount of slaughter spirit in his fist.

Whoosh! Bang!

With a slight nod, both of them pressed their foot against the ground. They raised their fists and slammed against each other. The black energy generated by his fist clashed with the purple energy send a powerful impact.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Martial Saints released their energies and formed the barrier around them. The same goes for Mike’s clones, they also formed the barrier around them. But, the impact left some powerful scars on the barriers even though they were able to block them.

“Gah!”

After the punch, both of them retreated to a certain distance and Mike coughed out blood. Seeing this, other martial saints looked at each other and one of them spoke “His attacks weren’t strong enough.”

“Yes, Hou Tian has incredibly powerful physical strength and relies on several martial arts to use that strength. When Mu Chen launched an attack, it wasn’t enough to counter the attack from Hou Tian. That led him to take some damage.”

“But, his body was strong enough to contain most of that damage.” The female martial saint explained.

“That’s why he created those clones.” Another man spoke with some realization.

“Yes, he already knew he would be incredibly injured in the battle so he created those clones. After all, against the Half-Saint Body, it is hard to win. Not to mention, there are three of them.” Another man nodded his head and explained.

But until then Mike had already recovered using his pure vitality. This time he didn’t rely on his Celestial Bloodline. Because there can be chances where he can’t access the Celestial Bloodline. And, the only way to recover is by strengthening his body’s natural recovery.

He had even restricted his armor so he was of pure physical strength and spirits. After giving Hou another glance, he rushed towards him once again. This time he condensed even more slaughter spirit on his fist and tried to dominate Hao attacks will.

Bang! Whoosh! Bang!

Once again, he got smashed on the ground after a punch. But, he didn’t stop. Without even properly healing himself, he launched another attack. The fist and legs smashed against each other while each time his body falls on the ground, his slaughter spirit got stronger.

His will to slaughter becomes stronger. Devouring Blood Scripture inside his mind runs crazy. The purple spirit started transforming into silver. But even so, it wasn’t enough to defeat the Martial Saints attack. Though he started getting hang of it.

Hou attacks weren’t able to damage him further after two days but he wasn’t able to damage Hou either. So, his only way to push past his limits was to reach Golden Rank Spirit. It was going to be hard but Mike knew he could succeed.

The battle lasted for three days and Mike was only a few inches closer to condensing his Golden Spirit. Unfortunately, Hou fainted.
