Chapter 670
The final Smelting Trial, as Yi Tianyun predicted, was a fighting compet.i.tion. Yi Tianyun was excited, and so was everyone who followed him, but there were some cultivators who were too proud to follow Yi Tianyun and decided to watch the match from afar.
The eight cultivators on the stage were now the centre of the attention. As the tournament began, the atmosphere quickly changed as everyone knew that the winner would be invited to the well-known factions later.
At this time, He Rongkun’s disadvantages immediately became apparent. The previous stage didn’t need any good martial arts. That was why He Rongkun could keep going using his sheer will. But now, it came down to good martial arts and weapons.
The other cultivators came from reputable factions, so they were already equipped with some good martial arts and weapons. So, He Rongkun’s first match was hard to watch as it might be his last too!
“You lost this one, friend! I thought you have a high-grade Soul Tool with you, but who knows that you only have a broken lower-grade Soul Tool!” He Rongkun’s enemy said tauntingly.
“I won’t lose!” He Rongkun said as he brandished his long sword angrily. Even if the opponent had better equipment than he did, his will was already set!
“How would you win this tournament? You don’t even have a good weapon! Your faction probably went broke just to send you here!” He Rongkun’s enemy said sarcastically. The enemy was definitely over the moon as he was lucky to fight a poor cultivator.
“He Rongkun was wronged in this stage! If only he was in a great faction that could give him the best equipment for his cultivation, he would have gone farther in this trial! But, unfortunately, I am the only one he has!” Wei Feizhou said sadly.
Although getting the eighth place was great enough, Wei Feizhou knew that He Rongkun could achieve much better if he was on an Empire-grade faction or even the Divine Nation!
“It’s not that bad, but he was indeed losing in terms of weapon. And that is why I give him an edge now.” Yi Tianyun said casually as he shot a light towards He Rongkun’s hand. He Rongkun was surprised at the incoming light and instinctively grabbed it. The light immediately turned into a sparkling weapon, which turned out to be a Sacred Tool!
“a Sacred Tool?” the opponent was shocked as he saw the weapon on He Rongkun’s hands was glowing radiantly. He Rongkun and Wei Feizhou had seen that Sacred Tool before and immediately knew that Yi Tianyun had given them another precious item!
“You said that I am poor earlier, but let’s see who would win now!” He Rongkun said confidently as his aura was suddenly getting stronger. It was the effect of the Sacred Tool as it amplified the user’s power.
“Thank you very much for your generosity, Young Master!” Wei Feizhou said heartiily as he was thrilled to see the Sacred Tool on He Rongkun’s hands.
“Don’t thank me yet! It’s just a cheap item to fill the gap between the partic.i.p.ant’s power. I just want to see what he can do with his power.” Yi Tianyun said casually. If Yi Tianyun really wanted He Rongkun to win here, he would’ve given He Rongkun a better weapon.
“No, this is great! Thank you very much, Young Master!” Wei Feizhou said with a smile on his face. He only wanted He Rongkun to be able to fight on this tournament fairly. Yi Tianyun just nodded and continued watching the tournament while everyone else was speechless after seeing the absurd scene. However, everyone realized that Yi Tianyun was the inheritor of this place, and he could do whatever he wanted there!
The tournament went smoothly, and He Rongkun successfully entered the top four! When He Rongkun took his break before fighting his next opponent, Yi Tianyun was waiting for the news from the Divine Envoys.
Meanwhile, Wei Feizhou was captivated by how well his disciple was doing. He thought that He Rongkun would lose in the first stage! But to his surprise, He Rongkun was one of the final four cultivators for the Smelting Trial, and he might just win it!
Sure enough, the Divine Envoys approached Yi Tianyun one by one with an excited face. Several Divine Envoys that couldn’t leave the Smelting Trial looked envious as they knew that they might have the information that Yi Tianyun needed.
“Young Master Yi, I am from Zuo Qiu Divine Nation, and I found a relevant information!” a Divine Envoys said excitedly.
“You are fast! You are the first one to return!” Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. Yi Tianyun then took a piece of paper that the Divine Envoys presented and read it using his Spiritual Energy. This paper was a secret parchment that would conceal the content for a certain rank of cultivators.
But Yi Tianyun could read it just fine by using his own Spiritual Energy to unlock it. The paper simply read Heaven Plum G.o.d Race.
Heavenly Plum G.o.d Race was one of the Heaven World Hidden Clans that lived on Heavenly Plum Mountain Range with no outside portal. A long time ago, the Heavenly Plum G.o.d Race was one of the three most prosperous races in Heaven World, but their decline in power forced them to live in hiding. Now, they were estimated to be a middle or lower-grade Divine Nation Faction.
The other reason for Heavenly Plum G.o.d Race’s downfall was because they lost the Heaven World War! The only way to enter the Heavenly Plum G.o.d Domain was to receive their invitation as the Forest on the mountain was enchanted with a powerful Trace Confusion Great Array!
