Chapter 1535 Snapping
"With Sect Master Bing Luli interfering in the battle, Top Disciple Mu Bing has been disqualified. Therefore, Niera Alstreim is the winner of this match!"
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's voice cheerfully echoed.
It could be seen that he was proud of Niera. While many noticed the cheerful tone, they didn't mind it much, thinking he was just excited by the Alstreim Family's win and rise. Nora Alstreim looked at her little sister basking in the rising cheers of the spectators. She also felt proud of her.
On the other hand, Tanya Frostblight clenched her fist as she saw Mu Bing's Perfect Domain that could reach such a level. She felt extremely inferior at the moment. Despite being a top disciple and a direct disciple, she failed to keep up with them.
Even if she instinctively knew that Davis had lent some sort of aid in Sophie's and Niera's growth, what about Mu Bing? If she can reach such heights, why couldn't she?
"Don't bother, Tanya."
Ancestor Tirea Snow's voice echoed, causing her to come out of her self-degradation.
"Creating a Perfect Domain isn't just a matter of talent. It requires unique resources most of the time. Even if we have the wealth to procure such a resource, such resources aren't usually found in the market or auctions, much less in the wild."
"You may have to wait for a long time, and if your luck is good, we may be able to buy one such resource before others get their hands on it. Even then, it's only a possibility, so don't bother, is what I can say. However, I will personally help you create a Supreme Domain. For that, you can count on me."
"Master..."
Tanya Frostblight moved her lips as she felt moved.
Usually, even direct disciples wouldn't receive much attention from their masters. To obtain these kinds of resources that would disappear as soon as they popped up in the world was almost impossible to obtain.
Fortunately, she was at Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage and had yet to breakthrough, making it easier to create a Supreme Domain rather than recreate it, which would take more resources.
After all, she was quite young compared to the ones like Brim Hisler and Gong Kim-Il, but as she looked at Natalya who's undulations were at Law Dominion Stage, she couldn't help but wonder if she had too comprehended a Perfect Domain.
However, she was unaware that all of Davis's women who were in the Law Dominion Stage possessed a Perfect Domain!
In truth, without Shirley's gifts, Niera and Sophie wouldn't have been able to comprehend a Perfect Domain this soon. Shirley had obtained this from the mini-realm, where it was unattended for many years, allowing such desired resources to grow in an unhindered manner. If it weren't for that, it would've been truly difficult to obtain one, much less many.
However, one cannot attribute their creation of Perfect Domains to those resources alone because Niera had an extreme fire environment in the sealed space, and Sophie had Starcy, a living Purple Star Flame. If it weren't for these two factors, they would've staggered to create a Perfect Domain even with such resources.
Sophie could've totally used Starcy to steamroll Mu Bing, but she didn't. However, it wasn't like Mu Bing didn't have a trump card either.
It could be said none of them used their trump cards because they were meant for real battles and not battles that are a form of entertainment for this Grand Wedding.
At this moment, where people felt that coming to this grand marriage was worth more than a century of their lifetimes, both the participants left the stage.
Mu Bing returned with her Sect Master, and Niera returned towards Davis. She had an expectant smile on her face as Sophie had previously possessed.
"Well done, Niera." Davis smirked, "Your flames have even surpassed mine at the moment."
"That can't be..."
Niera shook her head, but there was a satisfied smile that appeared on her lips.
"However, it's not like Sophie was truly defeated, so why did you become angered at Mu Bing, Niera?"
Niera blinked as if she didn't expect this question before she pursed her lips and sent a soul transmission to all.
"Because I didn't want people to misunderstand that Sophie was weaker than Mu Bing since she voluntarily surrendered. Moreover, I had to make Mu Bing understand that it's too soon to be proud of her Ice Laws since second sister is much more proficient in it."
"You think I was wrong?" She then voiced out.
However, looking at Niera aggrievedly sulk, Davis felt bad for asking this question.
He couldn't find fault if it was her own way of protecting and defending the family's honor. Even when she headed out to challenge Mu Bing, she still asked for his permission, and he granted it without saying anything, so he felt Niera didn't act out of line. Shaking his head, he moved his lips.
"I just wanted to know why you snapped at Mu Bing in the beginning. I understand that I was wrong to ask such a question because it seems like you care about your sister Sophie very much. How heartening..."
Davis deeply smiled while Niera's expression reddened as she looked away. Sophie looked at her with her mouth agape.
Was she cared for that much? Even she didn't feel anything about admitting defeat because it was what it was. She just wanted to test her skills and didn't care about the battle.
However, it seems like Niera, who maintained a never-losing record amongst her peers, was aggrieved for her.
"Come here, my little Niera~"
"Ah!~ You're the one who needs consoling!"
Sophie reached out her hand as if she wanted to console while Niera snapped embarrassedly.
Davis and the others couldn't help but laugh while the guests who were looking at them became pretty much dumbfounded.
After this, it was of little doubt that Niera belonged to this youth. At this point, many began to wonder if Sophie and Niera creating Perfect Domains could be because of the Dragon Queen but then, wasn't it said that she was in seclusion?
Then, could it be her Protector aiding them?
However, which protector helps a subordinate's women grow?
Their minds wandered but they couldn't figure out anything at this point. The Alstreim Family's sudden rise in the prowess of their youths was still shrouded in mystery!
"Niera Alstreim and Mu Bing." Thorus Zlatan's voice echoed at this moment, "Our invitation towards Sophie Alstreim extends to you two as well. However, only two of you three can join us. You can take your time, but we won't keep waiting."
"True, we don't need unwilling people."
"As a matter of fact, I believe only two of them would enter our powers anyway."
"Indeed."
Sarax Orcha, Heztus Ike, and Kyris Domitian echoed Thorus Zlatan's viewpoint.
This time, the Dragon Families weren't overbearing or compulsive to invite the owners of the Perfect Domains but said their piece as if they didn't care if they joined or not.
In truth, their intention was to create a competition among the three and finally get all three of them as if they had pitied the latecomer to enter.
When three of such wonderful candidates were available, there was no need for the Four Dragon Families to fight amongst themselves. They felt like the last one to enter could be chosen between the last two families who weren't selected by the first two who would scramble to enter their powers.
However, just as they wanted to see Sophie Alstreim, Niera Alstreim, and Mu Bing's panicked expressions, two voices echoed one after another.
"Not interested~"
"I appreciate the acknowledgement and invitation, but I'm good in my Mystic Ice Sect."
Niera Alstreim and Mu Bing voiced out their decisions, causing their expressions to freeze.
Sophie couldn't help but silently giggle. Unlike the diplomatic method she used, Niera was as straightforward as ever, giving a slap to their faces. Even Mu Bing was a bit polite, but Niera outright denied them of any face.
Thorus Zlatan's expression twitched from anger over being humiliated but knowing what's important, he managed to keep calm.
"You two younglings, do you all even know what you're uttering right now?
"I think we d-"
"No, you don't." Thorus Zlatan shook his head as he interrupted Mu Bing, "Your little powers can't protect you. I'm not kidding. Even the youths who had created Perfect Domains in the Mid-Sized Territories by some lucky encounter seek the protection of powers from Large-Sized Territories."
"Do you know why? Because the wicked path wouldn't leave you alive. They will either try to kidnap you or kill you because you're future trouble for them."
Everyone narrowed their brows, feeling that they couldn't refute Thorus Zlatan, but he still continued.
"Recently, it was said that Shirley Ashton, a Top Disciple from the Burning Phoenix Ridge, had produced an extraordinary four-kilometer Perfect Domain. She faced assassination and kidnapping attempts from the Blood Reaper Underworld, one of many wicked path hegemons. However, the Burning Phoenix Ridge managed to save her every single time without even letting them get near."
"Why? Because the Burning Phoenix Ridge once stood equal to us, so they can defend her from such attacks, but could the other High-Level Emperor Grade Powers present in that same Burning Phoenix Ridge Territory or other Mid-Sized Territories be capable of doing so? Only the Mid-Sized Territory Hegemons are exceptions. Other lesser powers and even yours are no different than telling the wicked path powers to come to slaughter their talented youths."
"Your Nine Western Territories grew complacent because it is the Four Great Righteous Sects that have kept you all protected all this time from the wicked path powers, not to mention magical beast powers to the north and the east, which you may have little to no idea of. You would also do well to remember that we are also a part of the righteous sects keeping you safe!"
"Therefore, you young ones know what decision to make sensibly!"
Thorus Zlatan arrogantly spoke as he flicked his sleeve. His speech made the other three powerhouses nod. They didn't seem to want to add anything, feeling that Thorus Zlatan's speech alone was enough!
