Chapter 467: The Captain’s Battle Begins

Shui Weibai frowned as she stared at Yun Ye, feeling displeased.

She didn’t actually care about her subordinates being wiped out; they had only a few years left to live, and their existence wouldn’t prolong her lifespan.

The real issue was that this power was handed over to the enemy for free!

After a quick calculation, Shui Weibai felt a surge of annoyance.

Previously, she could easily suppress Shui Changdong and faced no trouble in dealing with him.

But after the massacre of fifty people, Shui Changdong had inevitably stepped into the captain level, and she knew that defeating him now would be a far greater challenge!

"What a surprise, Shui Changdong. Now that you’ve killed the entire team, who would still be willing to pledge loyalty to you?"

Shui Weibai said coldly.

"Only with the present can there be a future."

Yun Ye shrugged.

It seemed that after losing, he was merely demoted to Vice Captain, but the real problem was, where did the captains defeated by Shui Qingya and Shui Riyue go?

They were naturally dead!

Once demoted to Vice Captain, if he didn’t regain his captain position within a year, everything would end, and his lifespan would reset according to Dongwang regulations!

The fight for positions was a battle for power, but it was also a battle for life and death!

"Very good… as expected of the head of the family’s son, you easily found a way to break the deadlock. I hope you truly have a so-called future to speak of!"

Shui Weibai could only acknowledge her defeat, but the killing intent in her eyes grew stronger.

Even if she had less than ten years to live, Shui Weibai had no intention of dying; she wanted to live until the very end, not a single day less!

Any blockers, even Shui Mingqin’s son, would be crushed!

"Mom, if ‘Shui Changdong’ continues to grow at this speed, there might still be some opportunities next time!"

Shui Riyue communicated with her Spirit Sense.

"I won’t give him the chance. A year from now will be his end; I might even deal with him directly."

Shui Weibai said indifferently.

Although they were both at the captain level, the strength gap among the Four Captains was enormous.

Shui Weibai did not achieve her position by chance; Shui Changdong was indeed a genius, but he was still far too young to surpass her years of accumulation.

Moreover, Shui Changdong’s sacred blood was also a problem.

If it were Shui Qingya with that talent, it might be a different story!

"If you go all out, nobody will be able to match you, Mom."

Shui Riyue nodded in satisfaction.

Shui Changdong had indeed stepped into the captain-level domain, but he was still light years away from the pinnacle of captain level occupied by Shui Weibai, and his chances of winning remained very low.

"Are you really planning to fight here?"

Yun Ye suddenly asked.

He looked around.

Although there was a transmission node, there was no defensive barrier. — Even if there were, it probably wouldn’t withstand a few hits from their level.

"The battle naturally has to take place outside the city; coming out is just a convenient way to transmit. Who knew you would act so decisively and eliminate all your subordinates!"

The others thought to themselves.

Shui Suqing also stepped out, lightly glancing at Yun Ye. She said, "Shui Changdong, I agree with your reason for killing them, but without manpower, you will have to fulfill their duties. From now on, the affairs in the south will be handled by you."

"Oh."

Yun Ye’s response was unclear whether it was agreement or disagreement.

In Dongwang City, once residents had lost their lives, they would directly disappear without a trace. According to Dongwang regulations, ordinary beings could vanish without consequence, but when Foreign Warriors from the Four Departments died, the sacred department had to collect their remains and assign personnel for execution that very day.

Some Foreign Warriors could only accept their fate, unwilling to become nourishment for the sacred department, which needed to take matters into its own hands to ensure it had ample resources.

"Everyone is here; let’s go!"

Shui Suqing moved decisively and urged them to leave.

A beam of light descended for transmission, and everyone felt weightless. After a few seconds, when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a desolate land, with only the transmission building standing lonely beneath their feet.

This was an area within the pure spirit line, where the spirit energy density was entirely zero.

For cultivators using the Spiritual Roots Law, this meant they could not sustain their power, and their ability would be greatly diminished.

They had not cultivated the Spiritual Roots Law, so they had very little stored spirit energy. Once it was used up, they would have to spend their life force, which would undoubtedly affect their power, unlike Yun Ye, who could convert seamlessly without losses.

"Is this a venue specifically for positional battles?"

Someone murmured to themselves.

As far as the eye could see, there were signs of devastating destruction, clearly not formed by nature.

In some places, remnants of power could still be felt, emanating a sense of madness; it was likely that the user’s power was extremely concentrated to leave marks even now.

"Is that Shui Riyue?"

Yun Ye recalled that Shui Riyue had become a captain two years ago. Her power could last this long, rivaling that of Mystic Realm cultivators.

"Elder Brother, the Vice Minister and Captain Zhenjing haven’t come either; they might indeed have a plan…"

Shui Wuge communicated through Spirit Sense.

"Are the Vice Minister and Captain Zhenjing with Mother?"

Yun Ye asked.

"They are not her people, but they can still serve as a distraction."

Shui Wuge replied.

"That’s fine; four of them together doesn’t matter. If Shui Suqing wants to act, she should be prepared to face death; the possibility is zero."

Yun Ye shook his head.

Shui Wuge also realized that her sisters did not understand Elder Brother’s strength. No matter their plans, they would mean little to him now.

She felt relieved.

"The captain alternation battle will start with the first team. Is there anyone who wants to challenge?"

The voice of Shui Suqing spread through the air.

"I give up."

In Team One, there was only one Vice Captain, the Vice Captain of Water Palace, and he lacked the strength to challenge Shui Qingya.

His gaze had completely locked onto Yun Ye and Shui Weibai.

In this captain battle, the focus remained on these two.

The others shared the same thought.

Hundreds of eyes gathered together.

"Then let Team Two begin. I look forward to seeing the young geniuses showcase their power, and I am especially eager to find out if there is any strength that can rival Dongwang’s power."

Shui Suqing raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a slightly crazy smile.

Whoosh.

Shui Weibai stepped onto the white Heavenly Path and swiftly reached the other side of the sky.

Yun Ye spread his wind wings behind him and flew into the air as well.

Shui Riyue silently nodded, "Indeed, even though he does not have powerful ethereal roots, he has successfully cultivated various Dual Attributes through his own training, allowing the Five Elements Spiritual Roots to wield corresponding Power in Shui Changdong’s hands.”

"Did you notice too, sister? His control is extraordinary; he can easily master Dual Attributes without needing the support of Spiritual Roots. The Five Elements Spiritual Roots in his hands can exert stronger power than ethereal roots." Shui Qingya remarked.

"This is far beyond imagination! Normally, how could one possibly master multiple Extreme Spiritual Laws seamlessly at the same time?" Shui Riyue, being a Super Genius herself, understood just how impressive this feat was.

The superiority of Extreme Spiritual Law lies in its efficiency; once one type of spirit essence is cultivated to perfection, the others will simultaneously reach their ultimate stage.

This characteristic lowers the barrier for Dual Attributes, allowing any Foreign Warrior outside Dongwang City with multiple Spiritual Roots to grasp some form of dual spiritual law.

However, the proficiency of Dual Attributes relies on personal effort, and achieving full completion is a daunting undertaking. With lesser talent, one might spend a lifetime to accomplish it.

Even a genius like Shui Riyue has only cultivated one type of Dual Attribute to perfection. As for the core Yin and Yang Spiritual Law, she is far from full completion, still lacking a vast distance from Minor Achievement, merely grasping the surface.

And what of Shui Changdong?

Every Spiritual Law he uses is at the full completion stage, wielding it as if it were an extension of himself, never showing any downgrade.

In just eight years, even if they had started cultivating in the womb, they would still be at a loss.

Shui Changdong’s talent is truly astonishing!

"Shui Changdong, Shui Weibai, the challenge rules are as follows: if either party declares surrender, the battle will immediately end. Deliberate assassination is not allowed; otherwise, you will face the ‘punishment of death,’ which you should know is an irresistible law—do not harbor any illusions."

"At the same time, each captain has only two chances to lose; after the third loss, the ‘punishment of death’ will be directly administered. Shui Changdong, you also have the option to reconcile with Captain Shui Weibai, as there will be more chances."
