Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Shen Ye looked at the shopkeeper:

"Hey, I have an apprentice now, how do we proceed?"

The shopkeeper replied, "He has already participated in Rotation Battles, so he can stay here. You still need to continue with the Rotation Battles."

Shen Ye turned his head and glanced around the hall.

"Who's next?"

he asked.

Dead silence.

Everyone lowered their heads, staring at the greasy, dirty tabletop as if it were the most fascinating and magical thing in the world.

——No one had seen clearly how the Blood Fiend Demon had been defeated.

Usually, such a bizarre situation arises when a Professional has a rare "Strength."

"Strength" refers to the Power of the Magical Realm that can be used at any time.

Such an occurrence is rare but not unheard of. If encountered, the best course of action is to avoid confrontation.

At least understand the effects of the opponent's "Strength" before there's a chance to win.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper's expression changed, and he said:

"Although you've passed the test, your lord has entered a near-death state."

Shen Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Is my lord so frail?"

The shopkeeper snorted disdainfully and said, "The fights between those at the Triple and Fourth Layers of the Law Realm do indeed have the potential for overpowering kills."

"But your lord has the power of the Seventh Layer of the Law Realm, and it's extremely difficult to determine a winner against other strong fighters."

"However, in a Rotation Battle——"

"Your lord just can't win!"

Shen Ye didn't hesitate and immediately asked:

"How can I save my lord?"

Mo Ga Ru cannot die.

If the second disaster is this difficult, what about the third?

——The Female Art Spirit said that as long as one person dies, it counts as successfully averting the disaster.

If the third calamity is too terrifying to withstand——

Mo Ga Ru is the most reliable lifesaver.

His being in a near-death state is an ideal, dream-like situation.

If things go awry, just let him die as a sacrifice.

He's practically a lifesaving talisman!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You want to save your lord?"

the shopkeeper asked.

"Yes," Shen Ye said.

"Unless you fight several more Rotation Battles with your power restricted, winning them all until no one dares to challenge you, can you ensure his survival!" the shopkeeper said.

"What does 'power restricted' mean?" Shen Ye asked.

"The techniques you used in the recent fight—whether it's the Blade Technique or your 'Strength', from now on, you cannot use them," the shopkeeper said.

"You're asking for my life!" Shen Ye exclaimed.

The shopkeeper shouted loudly:

"Hmph, make your choice—only by fighting desperately is there a chance to save your master."

A look of pain crossed Shen Ye's face.

Seeing his chance, the shopkeeper added, "If you just watch him die here, then you will be known as an unfaithful and disloyal retainer!"

Shen Ye sighed, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, I'll save him!"

A flash of smugness crossed the shopkeeper's face as he quickly slapped the counter and declared loudly:

"It's a deal!"

"—You cannot use any of the techniques or 'Strength' you've used before. Begin the new Rotation Battle!"

"Lose, and you die; keep winning, and you can save your master!"

As his words fell.

All the Professionals in the hall stood up.

"Me!"

"Choose me!"

"I'll fight him!"

"Shopkeeper, give this opportunity to me, I'll give you a kickback!"

"Pah! I only want the gold; the rest is yours, shopkeeper!"

Everyone was clamoring.

——Stripped of his Professional Skills and unable use the weird "Strength", the young man was virtually unarmed.

Unless he had another profession.

But even so—

what would that change?

During a Rotation Battle, one would normally use their best skills and techniques to fight.

This was to quickly resolve combat, conserve physical strength, and intimidate others.

At this moment.

His most powerful profession and skills were already sealed!

——Young people are easily bound by "loyalty," after all.

Take him down!

All of his spoils, even that powerful long blade, would become one's own!

The thoughts heatedly raced through their minds.

The shopkeeper leapt onto the counter, pointed at someone, and announced loudly:

"The decision is yours, the only Law Realm Quintuple Layer Peak Professional amongst everyone on this floor of the inn——"

"Butcher Zhao!"

A burly man with a tiger's back and bear-like waist, clad in iron armor, slowly stood up, his eyes coldly fixed on Shen Ye.

In front of all eyes, he said:

"Kid, do you know what it feels like to be dismembered?"

"Not very clear," Shen Ye said.

"It's fun to slowly dismember a living person; I guarantee I can teach you," said Butcher Zhao as he strode towards Shen Ye, casually drawing a pig-killing knife.

Shen Ye rested his chin on his hand, leaning on the counter at an angle, yawning without even reaching for a weapon.

"My turn?" the voice of the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa whispered in his ear. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

"For safety, better not to let them see you," Shen Ye replied.

"Then get a proxy, wage a war through a proxy," the Underworld Lord joked.

Accompanying the words,

a Dharma Aspect phantom unfolded behind Shen Ye.

——Only a few meters of walled garden were revealed.

The vermillion walls and dark green glazed tiles.

The Professionals saw a Rabbit Spirit with the power of the fourth level of the Law Realm.

The snow-white rabbit, trembling on the red wall, looked so docile and heartbreakingly shivery as it spoke human language:

"Damn it, are you all trying to court death?"

After speaking, it emitted a layer of pale white flames.

The pale white flames instantly penetrated the Dharma Aspect, creating ripples in the void of the inn's first floor.

Everyone was enveloped in flames.

So powerful!

——When the Rabbit Technique Spirit entered his Dharma Aspect, it suddenly became so powerful!

Shen Ye first gave the shopkeeper, who was stunned like a wooden chicken, a pat, and earnestly said:
