Chapter 405: The Immortal Spirit King's Scheme, Angrily Rebuking the Human Race King-Conferred Strong One

The Human Race King-Conferred Strong One spoke hoarsely.

A look of horror flashed across their faces.

We truly did not expect Su Yu to be so bold.

Although Su Yu's combat power is unrivaled, enough to slay Mo Jie, the Immortal Race princess's power is roughly equal to Mo Jie's.

But…

The Immortal Race princess is wearing a Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifact!

Only by surpassing the limits of a Great Sun Grand Master can one break through the Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifact's protection.

Moreover, this is while the opponent has not fully activated it.

Once activated, even a King-Conferred Strong One would find it hard to break.

Unless one is a strong one above the third‑step King-Conferred rank.

Of course, with the Immortal Race princess's cultivation, she can only trigger it once.

Yet a single activation is enough to give Su Yu a headache.

The Myriad Tribes King-Conferred Strong One sneered, "Really, it's the newborn calf that fears not the tiger; truly believing that possessing the power of an invincible Grand Master can break the Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifact!"

"This time, the first place can only belong to the Immortal Race, and only to a member of my Myriad Tribes!"

"Mere Human Race, even reaching second place is already a heavenly stroke of luck; daring to challenge first? Impossible!"

The Myriad Tribes King-Conferred Strong One laughed scornfully.

The Immortal Spirit King let out a cold laugh.

"The Immortal Spirit Armor was personally bestowed by the Immortal Emperor upon the princess; the princess can only activate its power once—how could a mere Human Race prodigy possibly break it!"

"Even if Mo Jie and the Divine Race Prince join forces, they might still not break it!"

"Just wait; it will only bring them further disgrace!"

The Immortal Spirit King continued to sneer, his gaze toward Su Yu extremely hostile.

On the plaza, Xiang Shaoyun slightly furrowed his brows and said gravely.

"Su Yu, shall I help?"

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyun had also sustained some injuries, after all, he faced the combined assault of four late‑stage strong ones of the Great Sun Grand Masters.

Even Xiang Shaoyun's combat power was terrifying, yet he still suffered some wounds.

However, they were not severe; he could barely still fight.

Su Yu waved his hand and said.

"You have already reached your limit; from now on, leave it to me!"

Su Yu slowly walked toward the Immortal Race princess.

The Immortal Race princess glanced at the approaching Su Yu and let out a cold laugh.

"Do you really think that having a Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifact lets you defeat me? Today, as long as I stay out of the fight, first place will forever belong to my Immortal Race!"

Su Yu slightly raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"I give you the same words: as long as I stay out, your Immortal Race can never be first!"

Both wore Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifacts and could not affect each other.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the plaza grew tense.

The Immortal Spirit King's calm voice rang out, saying.

"Human Race takes second; my Immortal Race can grant one slot to the Human Race!"

The Human Race King-Conferred Strong One's eyes lit up.

Honestly, in their view, as long as the Immortal Race princess does not concede, the Human Race cannot claim first place.

After all, the very existence of the Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifact says a lot.

Yet being able to become second and have the Immortal Race yield a slot is already a good thing for the Human Race.

They don't mind giving up a ranking.

After all, the current results are already the best in Human Race history.

Suddenly, a King-Conferred Strong One spoke up.

"Su Yu, you may step down; an extra slot is also a good thing."

"Exactly, since both of you are wearing Level‑9 Defensive Spiritual Artifacts and cannot affect each other, why not keep an extra slot!"

"You've fought long enough; this Myriad Tribes Grand Competition should end now!"

They each urged him.

The Martial King's brows twitched slightly; saying this now would undoubtedly be pulling the Human Race down!

But observing the plaza, the Martial King could only sigh helplessly.

There's no way out; the tension demands one race to concede.

The Immortal Race cannot concede.

And the Human Race…

If they could gain an extra slot, they wouldn't mind conceding a bit, after all the Human Race lacks resources!

This Qiankun Cavern is especially crucial!

One more slot means many more resources!

On that point, those King-Conferred Strong Ones were not wrong.

However, Su Yu seemed not to have heard, and walked toward the Immortal Race princess on his own.

The Immortal Spirit King's gaze turned hostile as he looked at Su Yu on the plaza; he hadn't expected that after yielding a slot, Su Yu would still contend.

You don't even consider yourself!

The Fairy Spirit King spoke lightly.

"My patience lasts only one minute. If Su Yu does not concede within a minute, this quota will be forfeited. Since neither side wishes to yield, let the first‑place position remain firmly contested!"

A stalemate, for the Fairy Race, is naturally indifferent.

But for the Human Race, that means one fewer quota!

The importance of a single quota is something the Human Race cannot abandon.

Sure enough, the Crown King could no longer hold back.

He immediately addressed Su Yu on the plaza.

"Su Yu, concede quickly; second place is already your limit, and gaining an extra quota would be of great benefit to my Human Race!"

"Exactly, Su Yu, one quota is enough to guarantee Daxia's resource supply for a year or two; there's no need to waste it in this situation!"

These Crown Kings grew impatient.

In their view, if the stalemate continues, the Human Race would not only fail to obtain the quota gifted by the Fairy Spirit King, but also waste it.

Then, with the second‑place result, they would still obtain that many quotas.

One extra quota determines Daxia's resource supply for the next year or two!

But do not underestimate that year or two; the Human Race already exceeds several billion in population.

A year or two of resources is immensely abundant.

It can even compare to the total resources of an entire small tribe.

It can truly be described as colossal.

Su Yu slowly halted, his gaze falling on the Human Crown King atop the high platform.

The Fairy Princess's beautiful eyes flickered with autumnal waves, and she sneered.

"Even your Human Crown King was forced to concede, and you still don't hurry!"

Su Yu spoke lightly.

"None of your business!"

"You!"

The Fairy Princess, angered by Su Yu's words, felt her chest rise and fall as she glared at Su Yu.

But Su Yu did not focus on her; instead, he looked calmly at the Human Crown King and let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! As a Human Crown King, you abandon your own backbone merely because of a Myriad Tribes strongman's words!"

"What kind of Human Crown Kings are you then!"

"A single quota makes you act like this; if the Myriad Tribes later cede four or five quotas, forcing you to abandon the entire Human Race, wouldn't you behave the same way!"

No one expected Su Yu to utter such words.

Before the Human Crown King could react, Su Yu let out another earth‑shattering sound.

"Human Crown King? You don't deserve it!"
