Heavenly Asura Path(Percy Jackson)

Chapter 7: Powers of the Continent

Qian Renxue, who was currently using the guise of one of the princes of the Heaven Dou Empire, gritted her teeth angrily. Just two days ago, she had discovered a shop that sold spiritual tools, items that can make even an auxiliary-type system spiritual master become strong in battles. She was so shocked by the discovery of these tools that she simply ignored the fact that the Emperor might have a hidden bodyguard watching over him.

In fact, even if she wanted to kill and get rid of the servants who followed her that day, she couldn't do such a thing. If she did, then she might arouse suspicion, which wasn't a good thing. All of her effort could be lost by a simple action! For that reason, she was always cautious with every movement or expression she made day in and day out.

Now, unfortunately, the Emperor had decided to visit the shop almost at the same time as her. When she entered Percy's shop, she saw her 'father' staring in wonder at every spiritual tool inside. And meanwhile, the guards he had brought were glaring daggers at Percy, who simply sat in his lazy chair without caring about the Emperor's presence.

"Father, I didn't know you knew about Chief Percy's shop," Xue Qinghe smiled in a bit of surprise.

"Oh, yes. A servant noticed the shop from outside and heard some rumors. I was so curious that I came to see in person!" Xue Ye smiled as he looked at his 'son'.

"Bullshit!" Qian Renxue cursed in her mind. Obviously, she knew it was a lie.

"Hehehe..." Percy's laughter caught Qian Renxue's attention. She looked at Percy, then at the Emperor, and then back at Percy. She didn't know how she did it, but only she heard the laughter. And she knew that Percy figured out how she felt.

 "Shop owner, are you able to make these tools for my Empire?" With a serious expression, Xue Ye asked as he looked at Percy. Within the continent, there existed powers that could destroy their Empire. The spirit hall had the elder hall, where there were several titled douluo of level 95 and above.

Furthermore, there were the three top clans. The Clear Sky Clan was the most remote, mysterious, and powerful. But, they were known to have more than seven titled douluo. And that wasn't all, the Clear Sky Clan possessed the most powerful tool-type martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. If they hadn't hidden themselves in seclusion for the matter a couple of years ago, then they would be a pinnacle that even just their presence would make the spirit hall unable to move so freely.

The second of the three clans was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Within the three families, it wasn't the best in wealth, and neither was it in power. The clan only had two titled douluo, and only one of them reached level 95.

Finally, there was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. It was the clan with the most wealth, but its reputation lay in the so-called auxiliary-type martial spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. A martial spirit capable of increasing the parameters of speed, attack, defense, and so on. Along with all that, there were two powerful existences in the clan.

Jian Douluo (Sword Douluo) Chen Xin, a level 96 titled douluo.

Bone Douluo (Bone Douluo) Gu Rong, a level 95 titled douluo.

These two people along with the clan's wealth, their clan head Ning Fengzhi, and their martial spirit made them the current three most respected and powerful clan on the surface.

Emperor Xue Ye, of course, knew about it. And even if Ning Fengzhi was Xue Qinghe's master, he couldn't completely rely on the three clans. The first one was too cunning, the second one was hidden, and finally, the third one contained the most arrogant and annoying spirit masters. He had to be careful and keep his Empire from being absorbed by any of the clans or the spirit hall.

Therefore, these spirit tools were seen as a godsend to him.

Gold coins? He could take out millions without too much trouble! Even more so if it was to boost the power of the Empire!

"Make them for your Empire?" Percy coldly looked at the Emperor: "Can you give me ten thousand year cold metal? Moon silver? Meteoric metal?... Each of my spirit tools are created with precious metals and refined in the forge thousands or dozens of thousands of times."

"Tell me… can I make spiritual tools for your Empire? Of course, if you are able to give me these materials and good blacksmiths, as well as a good pay, of course I can. But otherwise, you are just dreaming."

The emperor's complexion turned a little pale and blue. He felt annoyed by the way Percy spoke to him, but listening to some of the metals he required, he felt a little lost. He had heard of such ores, but they were rare. Only the first one had been seen less than five times in these past ten years.

Qian Renxue, listening, also turned a little pale. Just those three ores were too precious! She knew it, many knew it, in fact. She now had a better understanding of the price of each of these spiritual tools.

"So it's like this…" Xue Ye let out a dissatisfied sigh, but he couldn't do too much. He didn't want to insult Percy either, him just standing around selling in the city is already good. He just needs to be careful of the people from the spirit hall who might come. Although, it might be a bit late with Qian Renxue acting like his son without him really knowing.

But even so, they both wanted to buy!

Percy just snorted a little as he watched the two important people continue to watch. He, of course, knew about the top powers of Planet Douluo. And, in fact, he had a list of people who might be… annoying.

The first of them was Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue's grandfather and part of the angel family. The reason for this family's name was because of their supreme level martial spirit. An innate full power of ten was supposedly the most a person could possess upon awakening the martial spirit, but Qian Renxue had twenty soul power upon awakening her seraph spirit.

The second person on the list was Bibi Dong, the current pope of the spirit hall. She was a woman with a tragic past whom Percy could sympathize with and even understand. She awakened twin spirits (two spirits) and was considered such a great genius that Qian Xunji, the previous pope and son of Qian Daoliu took her in as a disciple. Sadly, the previous pope was a disgusting bastard. In order to ensure that his offspring would be powerful and to destroy any love paths Bibi Dong had, the man forced and raped her.

Qian Renxue was what resulted from that.

The third power on his list was Tang Hao. And… Percy despised him just like Qian Daoliu. The man was a titled douluo of the Clear Sky Clan. A genius on par with Bibi Dong who ended up falling in love with a hundred thousand year old spirit beast transformed into a human. However, his wife sacrificed herself when Qian Xunji attacked them.

But… How did the spirit hall know that she was a hundred thousand year old spirit beast? Even more so, how did they know of her location at the time she was in labor? Percy knew that Tang Hao had leaked his wife's true identity in order to obtain a hundred thousand year spirit bone and spirit ring. But, the moment he saw his newborn son, he ended up regretting everything and walked away from the world of spirit masters, becoming a simple drunken blacksmith.

To Percy, this kind of person was despicable and not even worth a single second of respect. Tang Hao was a hypocritical man.

And so… he had many people on his list who could be enemies.

Or allies… who knows what the future might hold. But, right now, Percy had no intention of trusting another person. He had already suffered a betrayal that shattered his life. And even if someone were to betray him in the future, he was already prepared for that feeling. However, a betrayal could still cause some of his plans to fall apart.

It was better not to trust someone… for the time being.
