As the surging Battle Will spread out between the heavens and earth, Mu Chen had his eyes shut as he submerged himself in the ocean of Battle Will. However, it was extremely difficult for him to merge into the surging Battle Will.
He could control these Battle Wills, but it was difficult for him to fuse with them and become one with them. If he couldn't do that, then controlling them with his heart would just be empty talk.
However, Mu Chen wasn't dejected because of the repeated failures, because he understood that Battle Will was an ethereal existence. Its birth depended on one's willpower, and its power depended on the fusion of willpower and Spiritual Energy.
Due to the fact that each battle will contained a different will, it wasn't easy to integrate with them perfectly.
Mu Chen's heart sank, and some of the profound words in the broken bamboo slips flashed through his mind. Then, he carefully comprehended them, trying to find some clues from them.
Battle Will was the fusion of will and Spiritual Energy. If one wanted to control a strand of Battle Will, then they would have to listen to the commands of the will in that strand of Battle Will. This was also the basic requirement of a Battle Formation Master. However, there were tens of thousands of experts in the legion, and all of them had experienced the tempering of blood and fire. Their wills were firm, and if one wanted to completely unleash the power of Battle Will, then both parties would have to have unreserved trust and fusion.
On the other hand, using force to forcefully control it was the inferior path.
Mu Chen opened his eyes as a look of pondering flashed across his eyes. After a long while.
He suddenly opened his arms slowly, and the spiritual power that enveloped his body quietly retracted into his body.
At the same time, his will also began to relax.
He even gave up on his instinctive resistance and allowed the surging, vast fighting spirit to surge towards him.
Ordinary people would more or less be on guard when controlling Battle Intent. After all, Battle Intent was violent and surging. Once it exceeded the limit of control, it would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, Mu Chen's actions were very likely to devour his consciousness.
In the eyes of many, it was undoubtedly audacious.
Boom!
The surging battle intent rushed into Mu Chen's body like a flood, but he did not stop it. Instead, he allowed the battle intent to surge.
As time went by, Ye Xiwen's expression changed.
Unsurprisingly, Mu Chen's consciousness began to be eroded by the surging battle intent. Fortunately, he managed to maintain a trace of clarity, allowing his consciousness to maintain a fine line between blurriness and clarity …
This state lasted for an unknown period of time. Mu Chen's willpower seemed to have started to slacken. However, it was not a complete collapse.
Instead, they dispersed in an orderly manner, and bit by bit, they collided with the many wills hidden in the surging battle intent.
They touched each other quietly.
Roar!
Roar!
It was as if there were countless roars filled with lust for battle that rang out in Mu Chen's heart. His will had also started to make contact with the will hidden within the Battle Will, bit by bit.
Although Mu Chen had obtained the acknowledgement of the Jiu You Guard, it could only allow him to control the Battle Will on the surface. Right now, he had to fuse with the Battle Will at a deeper level and unleash its true power.
Only in this way could one be considered a true Battle Formation Master!
As time flowed, a short three days had quietly passed.
In the past three days, the bet between the Nine Nether Troop and Blood Hawk Troop had already been spread in the Great Havenlaw Domain by someone with intentions. Everyone knew about this bet.
Naturally, they also knew that if the Jiu You Guard lost, then the Jiu You Palace would submit to the Blood Hawk Hall. This outcome was undoubtedly a little shocking. That's because in the history of the Great Heaven Domain, there had never been a case of a King force submitting to another King force.
Therefore, this had practically pushed the Jiu You Palace to a dead end. If they lost, then their reputation would plummet. At that time, no matter how much support the Sky Vulture Emperor gave them, they would not be able to maintain their position as one of the Nine Kings.
Some people inwardly shook their heads. The Jiu You King was still too young. Compared to a cunning fellow like the Blood Hawk King, he was still lacking.
But regardless of how much the Great Heaven Domain had boiled because of this bet, the Jiu You Palace still maintained its silence. There wasn't any panic, which caused many people to be a little startled. Could it be that the Jiu You Palace wasn't panicking at all?
Was their confidence in the Jiu You Troop really that strong?
Amidst the suspicions that filled the sky, three days finally stealthily arrived …
When the morning light of the third day tore through the clouds and shone on the ground, practically every gaze in the Great Heaven Domain was directed at the quiet Jiu You Palace.
In the centre of the Great Heaven Domain, the Asura King was expressionlessly looking at the direction of the Jiu You Palace before a pitch-black hall. Behind him, the head of the four Great Domain Lords, Xu Qing, was also standing with his hands by his side.
"Lord, is there still no movement from the Jiu You Palace?" Xu Qing waited for a while, before he finally couldn't help asking.
The Asura King faintly replied, "Although the Jiu You King is young, she isn't a reckless person. She must have a trump card to agree to the bet of the Blood Hawk Hall. The reason why the Jiu You Palace hasn't come out for the past few days is most likely because she's preparing something."
"It's said that this bet was agreed to by the new Commander, Mu Chen …" Xu Qing knitted his brows and said, "He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. How can the Jiu You Palace allow him to do as he pleases?"
There was a strange fluctuation in his tone because he realised that the relationship between Jiu You and Mu Chen wasn't as simple as that of a superior and subordinate. Otherwise, how could the Jiu You Palace tolerate him doing such things?
The Asura King cast a glance at him and a smile appeared on his expressionless face. "What?
Jealous? "
Xu Qing's handsome face turned red as he awkwardly smiled.
"Don't underestimate that young man."
The Asura King shook his head as he narrowed his eyes at the direction of the Jiu You Palace. "I have a premonition that the Blood Hawk Hall will regret provoking him."
Xu Qing was startled, before he turned silent. In all these years, this was the first time that he had heard the Asura King giving such an evaluation to a young man that was even younger than him.
Blood Hawk Hall
The Blood Hawk King sat on the throne with a cheerful smile on his sinister face. He held onto two iron balls as he slowly rotated them. His gaze towards the direction of the Jiu You Palace was filled with ridicule.
Regardless of whether there was any movement from the Jiu You Palace today, the final outcome would still be the same. After he suppressed the Jiu You Palace, he would like to see who would dare to offend their Blood Hawk Hall in the Great Heaven Domain.
Furthermore, after the Jiu You Palace loses its power, he really wanted to see that prideful woman, Jiu You. What kind of charming expression would she have on her beautiful face that was filled with wildness?
Thinking about it, a smear of blazing heat surged in the Blood Hawk King's eyes.
While the Asura King and Blood Hawk King were looking at the Jiu You Palace, the other various Kings' forces in the Great Heaven Domain had also directed their gazes towards the Jiu You Palace. If the Jiu You Palace still refused to come out today, then this bet would truly be a joke. This was also something that the Blood Hawk Hall wanted to see.
Jiu You Palace, deep in the mountains
Jiu You quietly stood on the peak of the mountain. Today, she wore a dark green robe and a pair of slim trousers that wrapped around her slender figure. Her fine black hair fluttered in the wind and her cold face was calm.
But behind her, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had anxious expressions on their faces. That's because, far away in the sky, there hadn't been any movement from Mu Chen for the past three days.
But now, the bet was about to begin!
If their Jiu You Palace didn't make any movements, then they might not have the face to establish themselves in the Great Heaven Domain. Others would say that their Jiu You Palace was afraid of battle, which would be a fatal blow to their reputation.
"Big Sister Jiu You." Tang Bing couldn't help saying, "Why don't we forcefully wake Mu Chen up?
Even if we lose, it's better than being afraid of battle. "
When Jiu You heard her words, she gently shook her head and opened her rosy lips, "Wait."
With a bitter smile, Tang Bing could only nod her head.
On the side of the cliff, Mandala still had an indifferent expression. After waiting for a long time, she finally stretched her waist and looked at the region that was filled with fighting intent with an undetectable trace of disappointment flashing across her eyes.
In the end, it still didn't work.
Mandala sat up and patted her hands. Just when she was about to leave, her expression suddenly froze and she slowly turned her head, looking at the depths of the mountain forest. There, the quietly seated Jiu You Troop had abruptly opened their eyes.
Boom!
When they opened their eyes, the surging Battle Will that shrouded them had swept up like a flood with tornadoes of Battle Will whistling. It was a spectacular scene.
When Jiu You and the rest looked over in astonishment, they saw a slender silhouette that had been sitting in the surging Battle Will for the past three days slowly stand up.
It was still the same silhouette, but for some unknown reason, there was a chilling Battle Will being emitted from his body.
"It seems to be a success." A smear of astonishment flashed across Mandala's eyes as she smiled.
When Tang Bing and Tang Rou heard her words, unconcealable joy surged on their faces. Jiu You's hand, which had been tightly clenched, had also loosened at this moment and felt relieved.
In the distant sky, Mu Chen's silhouette moved and appeared before Jiu You and the rest. Shortly after, a smile appeared on his face that was filled with an unstoppable fighting intent.
"I'm sorry for the wait. Now, it's time for us to take our spoils of war!"
Looking at the confident smile on the face of the person before them, Nine Nether and the rest had completely relaxed their tensed hearts.
This youth had always created miracles that others couldn't achieve, and this time, it would definitely be the same.
