Chapter 607 – Subjugation!

At this moment, the tiger-headed elder was no longer certain whether, given Xiao Jin’s strength, this was all deliberate—an act designed to lure him into drawing that Three-Star Dou Sect power into himself.

If he bet wrong, then one of the other two elders—the bear-headed or lion-headed—would be severely wounded as a result.

This thought lasted only an instant, before he suddenly saw that young face crack into a grin—directed at him.

“It’s real!”

Seeing that faintly human-like expression, the tiger-headed elder’s mind exploded with realization. Without a trace of hesitation remaining, he shifted his hand seal. The Three-Star Dou Sect power fluctuating between the three of them instantly surged into his body like lightning.

“Haha! Found you!”

As the sudden surge of energy coursed through him, the tiger-headed elder’s face lit up with excitement. Letting out a loud roar, he clenched his fist, causing a crimson glow to rapidly condense. In the blink of an eye, it took the form of a massive energy tiger head, mouth agape and reeking with foul breath. Its fangs shimmered with devastating power, as if anything they bit would instantly disintegrate into powder!

Mu Feng and Elder Li both had their eyes fixed on this battlefield. The moment they noticed the surge in the tiger-headed elder’s aura, they understood he had taken in that power. Instantly, all eyes turned to the golden figure in front of him.

“Is that truly the Vice President’s real body?” Mu Feng murmured inwardly. To him, if Xiao Jin really intended to just “play around,” he couldn’t have allowed himself to be found so easily by the trio.

At that moment, under countless gazes, the tiger-headed elder unleashed his terrifying punch, wrapped in overwhelming force, slamming straight into the golden silhouette.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion of energy rang out across the sky.

Did it actually hit?

That question echoed through everyone’s heart.

The massive tiger-headed fist plunged into the golden light, but in the very instant of the explosion, the tiger-headed elder’s face changed drastically. His voice turned sharp with panic as he shouted, “Be careful, it’s fake!”

As soon as his cry ended, he quickly expelled the Three-Star Dou Sect power from his body—so one of his companions could immediately use it if needed.

Upon hearing his shrill warning, the other two elders’ faces also changed dramatically. The bear-headed elder reacted first; just as the golden figure approached, he swiftly absorbed the Three-Star Dou Sect power that had been circulating among them. Without hesitation, he channeled the power into his fist and hurled a strike forward.

Rip!

His punch connected with the figure, but his expression shifted again as he roared, “Third brother, be careful, this one is also fake—the real body is with you!”

As his shout echoed out, the final lion-headed elder’s face turned ghastly pale. The golden light was already too close—there was no time to react.

As he felt the Dou Sect power enter his body, he didn’t even have a chance to use it before the golden silhouette slammed into him under everyone’s gaze.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion shook the skies.

The lion-headed elder was struck and sent flying before he could even respond.

With just two split images, Xiao Jin had instantly magnified the fatal flaw in the Savage Three Beast Technique.

Though the lion-headed elder was sent hurtling through the air, he was not actually severely injured.

At that moment, seeing their companion struck by Xiao Jin, the other two elders from the Mulan Tribe understood clearly—they had lost this test, and it had been a complete and instantaneous defeat.

Although the transfer speed of that Three-Star Dou Sect power was instantaneous, those three golden shadows had practically arrived at the same time. No matter how fast the power was transferred, there was simply no way to counter it.

“The Vice President truly is extraordinary—he actually broke through those three fellows’ technique in just one move!” Mu Feng and Elder Li both thought to themselves. Their admiration for Xiao Jin rose once again.

“Senior, your skills are unparalleled. We concede defeat!” At that moment, the tiger-headed elder was the first to speak.

Just now, Xiao Jin had indeed only displayed the strength of a Three-Star Dou Sect. Yet even so, he had easily broken through the Savage Three Beast Technique in an utterly overwhelming manner. Moreover, after defeating the lion-headed elder, Xiao Jin had not delivered a heavy blow, earning genuine gratitude from the three Mulan elders.

“Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!”

“Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!”

“Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!”

The three Mulan elders bowed in unison, expressing their heartfelt thanks to Xiao Jin.

“Though you lost to me, don’t be discouraged. To combine your strength at the peak of Dou Emperor and display such power is already quite impressive. If I only had the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Sect, even with such movement and battle techniques, I might not have been able to break your technique.”

Seeing their humbled expressions, Xiao Jin waved his hand as he spoke.

As Xiao Jin finished, the tiger-headed elder lowered his voice and said, “Senior, we were at fault in this matter.”

“Senior, we should not have been swayed by Yan Luotian. For a small gain, we chose to oppose you—we deserve to be punished!” the bear-headed elder scolded himself, clearly pleading for forgiveness.

The lion-headed elder, being the youngest of the three, spoke up with a tearful tone after the others: “Senior, please forgive us this time. We won’t dare do such a thing again!”

Hearing the trio’s pleas, Xiao Jin did not respond immediately.

Seeing that Xiao Jin was still hesitating, the tiger-headed elder’s heart tightened. He quickly said, “Senior, I heard the Mercenary Guild is still recruiting. We are willing to join the guild and serve you loyally. Also, we won’t keep the Savage Three Beast Technique to ourselves—we will contribute it to the guild!”

Satisfied with their response, a hint of a smile appeared on Xiao Jin’s young face. He immediately said, “It’s good that you have the heart. After this matter is settled, the three of you can go register to join my Mercenary Guild…”

“Thank you, Vice President!”

“Thank you, Vice President!”

Seeing Xiao Jin nod, the three Mulan elders finally felt the blade hanging over their hearts fall away.

With the submission of the three Mulan elders, this conflict was finally coming to an end.

Inside the fortress, among the countless soldiers who had gathered, nearly a quarter had already begun retreating toward the outside.
