Chapter 1282: Chapter 489: Victory Without Fighting_3

The people of Sang Island fell silent, doubts rising in their minds: it seemed that when it came to deduction, the Wood People were not inferior to the National Master at all...

In fact, they were even better, but the Sangdao people were unwilling to admit it.

A few people from North Pool Shore were restless, and some even wanted to step onto the squares without guidance, but the National Master’s voice came just in time: "Steady your minds!"

"This is just the entrance of the Dragon Water Palace. Even if we fall behind temporarily, we can catch up later. If you act rashly, you’ll only regret it!"

As expected, the National Master had experienced big scenes before and remained calm. Owen Bertram secretly nodded his head in admiration. The National Master couldn’t help but look at the earthenware jar in Owen Bertram’s hand: what kind of treasure was it? It felt so strange and seemed to surpass him in deduction.

It took the Sangdao people a full Shichen (2 hours) to finally open this small door, and they were rewarded with a Tier-6 Treasure Material in the process. However, there was no joy on their faces, as once they entered the Divine Water Dragon Palace, there was only one path. The Wood Dynasty’s team had already passed through two palaces, looting all the treasures inside: one Tier-6 Magical Instrument, two Tire-5 Magic Weapons, one Tier-6 Spirit Pill, two Tier-5 Spirit Pills, and twelve Tier-4 and Tire-5 Treasure Materials!

These treasures were enough to start a "kingdom war" between two small lords on Sang Island.

Owen Bertram didn’t provide any more guidance. He had chosen the people carefully, and the six of them had different strengths that complemented each other. They worked together to solve the crises. As the Wood Dynasty’s side broke through each checkpoint, the cheering of the more than a thousand Wood cultivators outside rang out beneath the watery curtain. Annoyingly, these Wood dogs shouted loudly on purpose every time, making the Sangdao people extremely jealous and their spirits plummet.

Since these two palaces had been cleared, there were no treasures or dangers left, so North Pool Shore led the others in a hurry to the third palace after the main entrance. This was where Edgar and his group had been stopped. North Pool Shore suddenly turned around, his eyes crimson as he stared at his companions, gritting his teeth and whispering: "The opportunity to turn defeat into victory is in front of us. We must not become the disgrace of Sang Island. We must make the National Master proud of us! Everybody, please fight to your last breath to break through this checkpoint!"

Everyone from Sangdao banged their chests and shouted, finally recovering some points in this checkpoint and breaking through first. Owen Bertram was prepared for this already, as the Sangdao people had a clear advantage in certain aspects when fighting at sea. For example, in this checkpoint, someone used a water-based Divine Skill, which allowed them to break through ahead of time and obtain the treasure in this palace: one Tier-6 Treasure Material, two Tire-5 Magic Weapons, and several Tier-4 Magic Weapons and Spirit Pills.

North Pool Shore and the others arrogantly passed by the Wood People, feeling like they had finally vented their anger. In the outside world, on the giant ship, Sangdao people excitedly howled, finally defeating the Wood dogs!

On the Wood Dynasty’s side, the cultivators were also frustrated but unwilling to yield: "What’s the point of being so arrogant? You were so far behind earlier, and it was only because we paved the way for you that you could catch up!"

"Just wait and see! The cultivation foundation of our Wood Dynasty is not something you can fathom!"

"Edgar’s group of six seems a bit lacking. When they were outside the gate, they easily broke through with Owen Bertram’s guidance. After they entered, the two palaces took them so long..."

"We still need to rely on Owen Bertram."

Owen Bertram had also been paying close attention to the situation in the Dragon Water Palace. However, in the fourth palace, after the Sangdao people seized the opportunity, they were determined to fight to the end, suffering from two seriously injured people but forcibly breaking through and taking away the two Tier-6 Magical Instruments and six Tier-5 Treasure Materials in the palace!

If you look at it this way, both sides were actually even, and in terms of high-level rewards, Sangdao was even slightly ahead. The Wood Dynasty wouldn’t let this go, and the cultivators started to quarrel, saying that Edgar and the others were too timid and didn’t have the determination to fight to the death like the Sangdao people.

Soon they arrived at the fifth palace, and Edgar’s group of six, knowing shame and having the courage to change, cooperated skillfully to solve the difficult puzzle. However, the Sangdao people seized the lead at the sixth palace once again.

Thus, both sides alternated in advancing, the competition becoming fierce until both arrived in front of the thirteenth palace. This palace was different from the previous twelve as there was a huge scale inside the palace.

Owen Bertram and the National Master looked at each other: "The real confrontation has just begun."

"One person from each side."

Edgar and North Pool Shore shouted almost simultaneously: "I’ll go first!" Both jumped up and landed on one side of the scale each. Then they found themselves bound by a "rule" on the scale, unable to get down.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Beneath the scales, the ground inside the palace suddenly erupted with fierce Spirit Fire. Everyone’s faces changed: "It’s the Tier-8 True Dragon Treasure Flame!"

"Anyone below the Seventh Realm who falls into it will be burned to ashes along with their Magic Treasure in an instant!"

At the same time, a disc of virtual light appeared in front of Edgar and North Pool Shore, each with five options: Divine Skill, Arrays, Alchemy, Artifact Maker, and Cultivation.

Each option rotated and lit up, with a small Sundial floating nearby, starting to count down the time.

The National Master said: "This is a question battle. You need to choose the category you are best at, and the more questions you answer and the faster you do it, the more you can gain the lead. The respective opponent’s tray will then descend, eventually falling into the True Dragon Treasure Flame!"
