Chapter 364: Chapter 364: I Am the Clown

Yuan Li wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Others might not be clear about what happened, but how could he not be?

He was only forty years old, yet he was already an Energizing Skill Late Stage Realm strong practitioner. Not to mention the East Sea Battle Domain, even amongst all the major Battle Domains across Shen Zhou, he was considered a top-tier Martial Path Genius.

Because he was so young and already possessed such strength and status, he was very proud and had a rather explosive temper in his everyday life.

Just now, when Qin Chuan had ignored him, he felt humiliated and in a burst of anger, he unleashed his full power in a strike.

Who would have thought that his full-powered strike as an Energizing Skill Late Stage Realm strong practitioner would be stopped by an invisible force just a few centimeters away from Qin Chuan’s head?

"What exactly is his cultivation level?"

Yuan Li’s heart was filled with shock. If he still didn’t realize that Qin Chuan was an unfathomable strong practitioner by now, then he really would be a fool.

"Yuan Li, you have quite the nerve to make a move against someone specifically requested by the Great Elder. Resign from your position as the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain yourself!"

As Yuan Li was still shocked by Qin Chuan’s strength, Lu Yaozong’s voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li’s expression underwent a drastic change.

Yu Weiguo originally thought it was just a minor issue, but he had not expected Lu Yaozong to actually suggest that Yuan Li resign from his position as Deputy Commander.

The surrounding martial artists of the East Sea Battle Domain were also stunned.

"Elder Lu, isn’t the punishment a bit too harsh?"

After regaining his composure, Yu Weiguo immediately pleaded on behalf of Yuan Li, "It was not easy for Yuan Li to get to where he is today. Besides, Mr. Qin is not injured, right?"

"I beg Elder Lu to consider Yuan Li’s past contributions to the Battle Domain and give him one more chance!"

Yu Weiguo was truly in a state of urgency. Among the eight Deputy Commanders of the East Sea Battle Domain, Yuan Li was the one he valued most.

Given Yuan Li’s Martial Path talent, it was not impossible for him to step into the King Realm in the future.

Chen Wang, who was not too far away, was also staring with widened eyes. He could never have anticipated that to protect Qin Chuan, Lu Yaozong would actually demand Yuan Li to resign from his position as Deputy Commander.

"Hmph!"

Lu Yaozong looked at Yu Weiguo coldly and said, "It’s one thing for your subordinates to be ignorant, but are you, Deputy Commander, also ignorant?"

"As the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain, Yuan Li knew well that Mr. Qin was a distinguished guest of the headquarters but still attacked. If we were to deal with it according to the domain rules, the consequences would be much more severe than just resigning from the position of Deputy Commander."

"It’s only because Mr. Qin is no ordinary person. If he were just an ordinary man, a heavy punch from Yuan Li at the Energizing Skill Late Stage could have killed him."

"Deputy Commander Yu, do you still think this matter is trivial?"

After hearing Lu Yaozong’s words, Yu Weiguo’s face turned ashen.

Indeed, if they were to handle it based on domain rules, Yuan Li’s dismissal was a minor issue; he could even potentially be brought to the Battle Domain Tribunal.

Lu Yaozong shouted sternly, "Yuan Li, do you admit your mistake?"

Yuan Li quickly stood up straight and said loudly, "I admit my mistake!"

"Good!"

Lu Yaozong said, "Since you admit your mistake, then actively resign from the position of Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain."

"Yes!"

Yuan Li responded loudly.

There was no trace of sadness or defiance on his face.

When he realized that Qin Chuan’s strength far surpassed his own, he had already understood that he had made a grave mistake.

This mistake would warrant him being stripped of his battle suit.

Qin Chuan suddenly spoke, "Can we leave now?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan had no intention of probing further, Lu Yaozong finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Everything is ready. We will now take the battle plane from the East Sea Battle Domain directly to the Battle Domain Headquarters."

As for Yuan Li’s dismissal from the Deputy Commander position, Qin Chuan couldn’t care less.

Soon, under Yu Weiguo’s lead, Qin Chuan, Tang Yue’er, and Lu Yaozong boarded a private jet parked at the East Sea Battle Zone Airport.

"Rumble~"

As the plane slowly ascended, Yu Weiguo turned to Yuan Li and sighed, "You’ve really hit a snag this time."

"But that’s alright. With your current level of cultivation, you’ve long been qualified to join the Grandmaster Battle Team. Write an application to join the team, and I’ll handle the rest," he said.

At these words, Yuan Li’s eyes lit up.

He had long wanted to join the Grandmaster Battle Team but had been unable to find the right opportunity due to his role as Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain.

Thinking back to how his full-force strike hadn’t even touched Qin Chuan’s body, a strong desire to fight surged from the depths of his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with determination.

At the same time, he silently vowed to himself, "One day, I will surpass you and defeat you!"

Seeing that Yuan Li remained silent, Yu Weiguo thought he was still preoccupied with the recent event. He patted Yuan Li’s shoulder and said, "Regardless, what’s done is done. You must not hold a grudge against that young man, nor against Elder Lu."

"Despite Elder Lu’s role as the head of headquarters logistics and being at the Energizing Skill Late Stage Realm, he is backed by the Lu Family, one of the Nine Gates of Yandu. You cannot afford to offend him," he advised.

Yuan Li hastily shook his head, "Deputy Commander jests. As a defeated person, what right do I have to bear a grudge against others?"

"Good... as long as you don’t bear a grudge..."

Before Yu Weiguo could finish, he suddenly realized the implications, his eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "What did you say?"

Yuan Li then looked at Yu Weiguo with a solemn expression and said seriously, "Just now, I lost! Mr. Qin didn’t make a move; he simply used Internal Energy Release to block my full powered strike!"

Yu Weiguo was stunned for a moment before asking in shock, "What did you say? How is that possible? Are you sure he didn’t make a move and blocked your full powered strike?"

Yuan Li nodded emphatically, still immersed in the memory of his full-force attack as he recalled, "When my fist was just a few centimeters away from his head, it couldn’t advance any further, no matter how much more strength I put into it. It was as if..."

"As if it was blocked by an invisible shield..."

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

Yu Weiguo had the same reaction.

They were both Energizing Skill Strong, and they had heard of a legend that when one’s cultivation surpassed the King Realm, one would reach the legendary Emperor Realm.

And the hallmark of the Emperor Realm was the Spirit Qi Shield.

Yuan Li had just mentioned that his full-powered strike seemed to hit an invisible shield. Could it be that this invisible shield was the Spirit Qi Shield?

Yu Weiguo suddenly remembered what Lu Yaozong had told him: as long as Qin Chuan went to Yandu to face Liu Kuangren, he would thereafter become the Chief Instructor of the Grandmaster Battle Team.

He had not taken it seriously at first, thinking that Qin Chuan had a big backer and the offer to be Chief Instructor was just a ceremonial position, with the real work done by Wang Chujang and Zhang Wenyuan.

Now he realized that he had underestimated Qin Chuan. Could someone who was so highly regarded by the Great Elder, to the point of breaking the rules to let him be the Chief Instructor of the Grandmaster Battle Team, really achieve this by connections alone?

Thinking back on his own behavior in front of Qin Chuan, Yu Weiguo felt his face burning with embarrassment.

It turned out, I was the fool!

Yuan Li said with disbelief, "Could it be, his cultivation has reached the Emperor Realm?"
