The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 784 - 449: Three-Star Saint

...

Looking at the room, it was impossible to tell what had transpired since the first person entered, and rather than disrupt his thoughts, he decided not to dwell on it. Observing the two groups, he felt uncertain about what to do. Should he choose a side? If he did, he’d likely have to share all the treasures he’d later discover, and among the two groups, neither seemed significantly stronger than the other.

One group composed of two Saints, but both Saints appeared to only be in the first or second star. Meanwhile, the other group was made up of a Saint and an Emperor. The Saint was surprisingly stronger than him, but the Emperor beside the Saint was undoubtedly a liability. Thus, he judged the strength of the two groups to be evenly matched. One side was weak, while joining the other meant sharing his treasures with an Emperor-level expert. Not particularly fond of either group, he opted to remain independent.

After reaching this conclusion, a Saint seated himself against the wall between the two groups, making it clear he wasn’t joining either side. Seeing this, Yan Xiaobao felt pleased. This Saint was likely a three-star Saint—a rather formidable figure. Yet, he wasn’t strong enough to deal with Xiao Ning, especially now that Xiao Ning had advanced.

"That guy is from the Moon Province," Xiao Ning’s voice drifted into Yan Xiaobao’s ears as he curiously observed the Saint. "We don’t know much about him, but before my promotion, I’d have regarded him as a rival," he continued analytically.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao nodded and sat down to begin cultivating. Over the past few days, he had only cultivated to recover energy for further training, but now, with his energy control more refined, he sat down once again for serious cultivation. Though he had just broken into the Emperor-level, he was still far from the Holy-level. He knew that each advancement would become increasingly challenging.

The new Saint was correct to assume that experts who had been closely following him might only require a few hours, but as they entered the chamber, an unexpected turn of events left him stunned—two Saints leapt up and demanded they surrender their treasures by force.

"How can treasures from the tomb outside have such an effect on Saints?" he muttered. Although he hadn’t been left with all the treasures during his journey, he didn’t find them as captivating, knowing they were merely from an exterior tomb. Yet, it seemed these two Saints were acting shamelessly without concern for propriety.

Yan Xiaobao and Xiao Ning showed no signs of stopping them. Yan Xiaobao cultivated, while Xiao Ning practiced using training dummies. The energy ripples from their section of the room were so intense that even the experts within the chamber found themselves secretly shocked. Among the Saints Team, this was the most potent energy many had ever experienced. Few Saints, even after breaking seals, could release such immense energy.

Unfortunately, these experts couldn’t remain in the grand hall for long, as the overwhelming energy ripples disrupted everything. With rumors of treasure-stealing Saints spreading among most experts heading to the hall, the number of newcomers quickly diminished. Most of them soon decided it would be wiser to leave the hall with the treasures they had already obtained rather than succumb to greed and risk losing everything.

While Yan Xiaobao cultivated, he spread his spiritual energy throughout the room, allowing him to perceive everything happening around him. If any of his friends were to enter the chamber, he would know instantly and support them. Though he was reluctant to battle Saints for no reason, should they target his friends, he would undoubtedly defend them. However, regrettably, none of his friends showed up, and soon no experts entered the hall anymore.

The earlier silence descended upon them once again, but after only a few hours, another door opened, and another Saint entered the room. This Saint hailed from the former Xiban Empire, and when he spotted Yan Xiaobao sitting there, his eyes widened in the corner.

Contrary to expectations, the Saint didn’t rush to take revenge on Yan Xiaobao for the fall of his Empire; instead, an image surfaced in his mind. It was something he’d seen during wartime—a colossal blue Phoenix that appeared for only an instant. Although he hadn’t been able to observe it for long, it was a sight he’d never forget. The bird’s power and the oppressive force it emanated upon its appearance were so immense that even the mightiest members of the Saint Babby Empire felt as insignificant as dirt beneath its feet.

Recalling that day, the Saint could only sneer at the Emperor-level power Yan Xiaobao had displayed. He realized Yan Xiaobao had been concealing his true strength all along. Witnessing this scene, the Saints mistakenly assumed it was a mark of scorn from the Emperor toward one of their own. Meanwhile, the two Saints felt uneasy as they remembered the sudden energy ripple that arose when Yan Xiaobao’s power had unexpectedly unleashed against them. It wasn’t just at the first star of the Holy-level—the power seemed so overwhelming that even Saints alongside him would become useless.

Hours later, experts began streaming out from the entrance where the Saint from the Xiban Empire had appeared. Once again, the two Saints resumed robbing individuals below their level, and before long, the rush of people faded again. This time, they avoided anyone supported by a Saint but simultaneously worried that they’d be next when no more experts remained. And so, they hurriedly exited the room along with the others.
