Chapter 1056
A hint of anger shed across Robine''s eyes. She knew that Dalton was trying to drag her into the
mess. After all, she was the one who still had many followers by her side. After that matter had
been resolved, her team would have a higher chance of winning. Therefore, Dalton was anxious to
get rid of this man in front of him, even though the first person to do so was most likely to face his
thunder.
But then, even if Robine knew that Dalton was trying to manipte her, she was able to do anything
about it. If she wanted to win, she had to do something.
Robine inhaled deeply, then shouted for her men to attack. Almost at the same time, Renier''s
disciple, too started attacking.
In the face of Robine and the others, Renier''s disciple suddenly raised his spirits and retaliated.
"Dalton, what are you dreaming about? Do you think you''lle to a happy ending if I lose? Don''t
forget that there''s still Robbin you have to watch out for! In the end, you''d still be unable to gain the
position of the European bishop."

As soon as he heard the Robbin''s name, Dalton''s eyes turned bloodshot with rage and he charged
towards Renier''s disciple.
On the other end of the battle, Henry and Flynn watched on as if they were watching a y.
There was once an ancient scripture that recorded the battle between two godlike experts. They
fought on for three days and three nights. The battle was so intense that no one could tell who
would emerge victorious. This record did exist, but Henry believed that it was by no means a battle
of life-and-death.
The more powerful one''s existence was, the clearer one would be of how terrifying that power could
be. If it were two men who had just learned martial arts, and exchanged more than a dozen moves,
or two masters who were testing each other out and exchanged more than ten moves, it would be
more believable in Henry''s opinion also possible. In a battle of life-and-death, one move would
usually do the trick. The more powerful the master was, the more likely that would happen.
A minute after both Robine and Dalton attacked Renier''s disciple together, both of them each had
one follower who had fought to the point of losing their ability to carry on fighting, creating an
opportunity for both Dalton and Robine. Both of them seized this opportunity to attack Renier''s
disciple, breaking through his defence, sessfully gaining an upper hand over him.
"Hurry Robine, don''t give him the chance to catch his breath, charge at him with your men."
"Dalton, quit acting. If you want to fight, let''s do it together. If you want to continue ying around, at
worst, we''ll both be defeated! Which is fine for me, I''m not in a hurry anyway." Robine''s eyes
reddened upon seeing that she had lost one of her followers.
"Then let''s attack together!"
The duo bellowed loudly once again and continued charging towards Renier''s disciple.
It was another fierce battle.
"Eh, something''s not right." Commander Mercator, who was seated in the air, said as he looked at
the intense battle down below. "Renier, this disciple of yours has a strange aura. His Qi-
concentrating Realm realm doesn''t seem to be stable. Right now, his aura is constantly declining
towards thete stage of Qi-transformation."
"Indeed, he''s at thete stage of the Qi-concentrating Realm. That shouldn''t be his original level,
right?" said Kipp.
Renier''s expression changed, then heughed, "Haha, I can no longer hide it from my brothers. My
disciple''s cultivation method is a little special. Whenever he breaks through a realm, he must first
enter that realm to experience it. Right now, he''s only one step away from thete stage of Qi-
concentrating Realm."
Upon hearing Renier''s words, a look of disdain appeared on the faces of the bishops. That was not
some kind of special cultivation method, Renier just used some sort of method to exhaust the
potential of his disciples in order to temporarily raise his strength to the early stage of the Qi-
concentrating Realm.
"Brother Renier, looks like you''re very determined to win this selection. You''ve reached thete
stage of transformation at your age, seeing that you''re based in Oceania, you''ve probably tapped
into the furthest extents of your potential," Hebor said.
Breaking through one''s realm within a short time by force was detrimental to one''s foundation.
Renier''s disciple might have seemed invincible in the arena, being capable of fighting many
opponents at once, but that was already his limit. It would be good enough for him to be even able
to maintain his strength at thete stage of the
Transformation Realm in the future.
On the arena, Dalton had yed a dirty trick on Robine in the battle, causing her to lose another
follower.
The fury within Robine''s heart zed, but when she saw that the Renier''s disciple was no longer as
valiant as he had been earlier, she had no choice but to swallow the resentment she had.
Renier''s Qi levels kept fluctuating. The enormous consumption of Qi caused his level to drop from
the early stage of Qi-concentrating Realm to thete stage of Qi-transformation.
Although it was only the difference of one level between thete stage of the Qi-transformation
Realm and the early stage of Qi-concentrating Realm, the difference was massive.
Dalton and Wyck both struck at the same time, forcing Renier''s disciple to take a step back. This
single step was enough to make Dalton go mad with joy.
"He''s weakened, hurry!" Dalton roared.
Robine could tell as well. She hurriedly led her followers to join in the attack.
Renier sat atop of the arena. His face was extremely dark as he watched his disciple''s level drop.
Although he had known that there were many drawbacks to this method of forcefully increasing
one''s level of cultivation, it was inevitable that one''s level would plummet in the face of such an
attack, but how could he give up that easily after all the preparation he had done for this selection
all this while? Even if his disciple were to die today, he must still win these two rounds of the
selection!
Renier reached into his long white robe. Within the robe, there was a small wooden box. In the
wooden boxy a type of Gu Poison Bug. This Gu Poison Bug was specifically requested by Renier
from Miaojiang of the Yan Xia in the past.
The poison bug was named the "Heart Poison Bug". It would attach itself to the heart of a being and
fed on blood from the heart, just as its name suggests. The Heart Poison Bug worked in pairs, one
latched on to the heart, and the other was to be controlled by others.
When Renier touched the Heart Poison Bug in the wooden box, his disciple in the arena froze
suddenly, like a machine that suddenly had its power switched off. He stood therepletely
unmoving, even when faced with the attacks from Dalton and Robine.
Dalton and Robine, who had already struck out at him, suddenly withdrew their attacks
and retreated at the same time.
Something was off! They had no clue what other tricks Renier''s disciple had in his sleeve!
Just as Dalton and Robine hesitated, the pupils of Renier''s disciple suddenly became bloodshot.
His breathing grew heavy, and veins began to pop out all over his body. All across his body beneath
his long white robe, the red strands that resembled his capiries spread across his entire body.
"His Qi level has been raised again? What''s going on?" Hebor looked confused.
"Something off about him." Kipp, too, said.
"The energy this kid is giving off feels like he has absorbed impure spiritual energy to me..." Kodie
said as his brows furrowed while he looked at Renier''s disciple below.
"No, he''s..." Bishop Mercator suddenly stood up and said, "This feeling is like the beastification of
the Alvin League, but it''s not entirely simr. What on earth is this?"
"It looks like some kind of forbidden technique." Randell chipped in.
The five archbishops looked to Renier in unison, waiting for his exnation.
Renier shook his head, then let out a sigh. "s, it''s too tough down there for my child, being
bombarded by all your disciples to the point that he could no longer take it. Have you ever heard of
the power of the Yan Xia bloodline?"
