Chapter 572: Becoming an Official Rune Master

Translator: Udong_Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_

Mage Union! Soon, all the demons realized that only the Central Mage Union and the Central Mercenary Union hadn't handed over power to Master Feijing.

No one was feeling more pain than the president of the Central Mage Union. The fact that all other central unions were willing to give control to this mixed-blood was enough to prove the value this mixed-blood could bring to them.

However, this mixed-blood didn't have any spiritual energy! Even though the president of the Central Mage Union wanted to invite this mixed-blood to join, he couldn't find an excuse.

This situation was awkward for the Central Mage Union.

The mages could ignore pretty much all other unions, but they couldn't ignore the Central Rune Union. Almost all of the mages' items such as their wands, rings, robes were created by Rune Masters!

The Runes Masters could survive without the mages; they could still make empowered weapons and Magic Conductors for warriors. However, mages couldn't live without Rune Masters. Without the top-tier items, their power would decrease substantially.

Although the Rune Masters wouldn't stop servicing the mages because the Central Mage Union didn't favor Jiliu Feijing, no one could be sure that wouldn't change in the future.

If Jiliu Feijing himself felt like he was ignored by the Central Mage Union and decided to raise the price on the mages, the accumulated effect of that would be catastrophic.

Who was Jiliu Feijing? A mixed-blood with some of the Lucifer Bloodline! What were the Lucifer Demons known for? Their arrogance!

If Jiliu Feijing felt like he was ignored by the Central Mage Union, no one knew what would happen.

...

Soon, the forces who were curious to know if Jiliu Feijing would be participating in the Royal Competition in front of the Demon King received an answer; they were informed that Jiliu Feijing who had control of multiple Central Unions would be participating the competition as the retinue of Lucifer Lucy.

This news stirred up all kinds of reactions and all the princes and princesses who were participating in this competition felt a headache.

If Jiliu Feijing was only the president of one Central Union, they wouldn't care. In order to display their strength in front of the Demon King, they would be willing to beat up anyone in front of them. Worst case scenario, they would just give their opponent a big gift afterward. After all, their statuses weren't lower than a president of a Central Union.

However, this Jiliu Fejing already had control over four Central Unions, and the fifth Central Warrior Union would be his in a short while as well. In this case, even the Crown Prince couldn't act arrogantly in front of this mixed-blood, let alone ordinary princes and princesses.

The combined strength of Jiliu Feijing was just too powerful!

The princes and princesses had to really consider the next step; if they really beat this mixed-blood, the relationship couldn't be simply saved by some gifts.

For a moment, all these princes and princesses were trying to meet up with Jiliu Feijing; they wanted to prearrange something, so it won't be awkward if Jiliu Feijing encountered their retinues in the competition.

However, they soon realized that they couldn't find this Master Feijing. There was news about him here and it indicated that he was still alive; otherwise, they could have thought that he had evaporated from this world.

”For the last few days, except for the Royal Family, almost every demon force has tried to reach out to Qian Jin. I heard that the other two Ultimate Bloodline Families couldn't hold still anymore; they have sent demons to reach out as well.”

With a dry straw on his lips, Duren Burg chewed on it as he leaned against a wall and murmured, ”Not sure what comrade is doing. Every time he comes back, he would lock himself in the room and didn't want to be disturbed.”

Endless World.

Qian Jin stood in front of Akenash's workshop and scratched his head. Ever since he started learning about runes, this teacher of his told him multiple times that he should do more research after he comprehended the basics. The idea that following someone else's path won't lead to anything significant was hammered into Qian Jin's mind.

Qian Jin had been trying to study the runes he saw in the underground hall for two days intensively, but he wasn't able to get anywhere despite his red eyes and aching head.

Over the past two days, he realized that extracting the essence from the Heart of Lucifer wasn't something he could do yet. Although he could act mighty in front of Lucifer Serage, he could only fool the Crown Prince without getting real progress.

”I can't do it! I can't!” Qian Jin stood in front of Akenash with a painful expression.

”Teacher...”

”You can't figure something out again?” Akenash said to him without looking up, ”Go read some more books.”

Qian Jin smiled bitterly and didn't say anything back. Instead, he started to engrave the runes on that biggest standing coffin onto the sand in the sandbox that was used for practice.

Akenash didn't pay much attention to Qian Jin at first, but she froze a little when she saw what Qian Jin was drawing with her peripheral vision. A bit of surprise appeared in her calm eyes.
