Chapter 168: Everybody’s Dumbstruck
Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud
Murong Chang Feng raised his chin, the side of his face lengthened to a degree that appeared incomparably haughty, as if he antic.i.p.ated his own win. He already took a step forward and was going to receive everyone’s wors.h.i.+p.
But didn’t expect that Master Tu Tian would control his voice and loudly read “Helian Wei Wei”, that name!
Clang!
The thing within the human figure’s hand dropped.
Even Huan Ming Xiang didn’t foresee that this would be the outcome. He stood fixed at his spot, and simply didn’t have time to react.
Murong Chang Feng’s smiling expression, during that split second, clearly solidified at its original position. He opened his eyes wide in amazement as the step he was taking also immediately froze in its original position. His fingers slightly trembled as he turned his head and glanced at Wei Wei, blood thoroughly drained from his face!
How’s this possible!
How could he lose to a girl that’s got nothing going for her!
Everyone was stunned by this outcome as they opened their mouths and forgot to close them. Right now, the stage’s so quiet it seemed that one could hear a pin drop.
Couldn’t, it couldn’t be…
The person who won was that good-for-nothing?
The girl that was sneering just now and Helian Jiao Er’s expression simultaneously started cracking. The words they originally wanted to speak in ridicule now was completely choked back into their throats. Their cheeks were both green and white, not very spirited in color.
While everyone was shocked dumb, a black and white robed Wei Wei slowly walked up towards the front.
Her expression didn’t change at all. That smile that wasn’t a smile was still on her little face as before, yet for a split second people thought they were seeing things.
Her clothing was very simple, without any accessories, the long sleeves floated in the air, black hair flew upwards. Surprisingly, within the contrasting black and white, the aura of a peerless talent began to emerge.
The audience blanked out as they watched this scene, what insanity was this?
A good-for-nothing unexpectedly defeated Lord Murong!
When did this girl become so awesome?
Wasn’t she ignorant of everything?
Murong Chang Feng basically couldn’t accept this result. He, the heir of the magnificent Murong Prince’s Mansion actually lost to a good-for-nothing who previously hadn’t attended any armaments cla.s.s nor touched any armaments before? !
Murong Chang Feng fiercely suppressed the undulating discomfort in his chest and turned his head towards the not so distant judges seats to say. “Masters, I drew up three designs, one more than what you’ve requested. I really don’t understand how I lost.”
Master Tu Tian could hear the discontent in the way Murong Chang Feng spoke, as he faintly creased his white eyebrows, shortly after which he sighed. This disciple of his was still too arrogant. “You’ve indeed drawn up three plans, that’s true, and they’re designed quite well.”
That master sitting next to Tu Tian knew that it was uncomfortable for Tu Tian to speak, so he straightforwardly responded to Murong Chang Feng’s inquiry, with a smile in his voice. “Lord Murong, sigh, you’ve already done a great job, however, your opponent has drawn up more than twice your number of designs.” His implication was, just what is there to complain about.
Murong Chang Feng’s face trembled and seemed to be full of disbelief. “Twice as many designs as mine? Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible! Those components that master provided can only be used to make five different armament designs at most, seven or eight designs are basically impossible!”
Hearing Murong Chang Feng say that it’s impossible, the light in Helian Jiao Er’s eyes changed, as she bit her red lips and said. “Master, is there maybe a problem, even if someone is Grandmaster Zi Zun’s disciple, they still can’t change that much, right?”
“Are you saying that I’m s.h.i.+elding Helian Wei Wei?” That master’s complexion darkened, and spoke in an agitated manner. “Since you feel that as a judge, I’m not impartial, how about you be the judge.”
Hearing that, Helian Jiao Er’s face erupted with embarra.s.sment. “I definitely am not saying that master’s being partial, I only wonder if someone may have played a trick…” Otherwise, how could that s.l.u.t win!
“That’s enough!” At this moment, the one who hadn’t spoken, Master Tu Tian, coldly opened his mouth. “I didn’t want to speak, because I didn’t want to embarra.s.s the Superior Compound too much, this result was based on my judgment, if Miss Helian still objects, then probably even I should be disqualified as a judge.” After saying this, he turned and glanced at Master Bai, his voice replete with annoyance. “So these are the students that Master Bai has always been proud of. They’ve really expanded my horizons. Hehe, if the Superior Compound’s students are all like this, then I’ll propose to the princ.i.p.al that we’d better get rid of the Superior Compound as soon as possible!”
Master Bai became rigid and seemed as if he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Tusu Feng gently smiled and didn’t respond at all.
This Master Tu Tian was truly angry now!
Not only Helian Jiao Er, after everyone from the Superior Compound heard these words, they all felt as if they’d been slapped on the face.
Everyone who originally had doubts, in this moment also didn’t dare to have suspicions.
Master Tu Tian was Lord Murong’s master, yet even he claimed that there’s no problem whatsoever with the compet.i.tion.
Then the person who won was really Helian Wei Wei!
Tu Tian also didn’t care about everybody’s response as he handed the rolled up fine paper to the teacher by his side. “Have him take a look at it himself.”
The teacher bowed his head and pa.s.sed Wei Wei’s designs over to Murong Chang Feng’s hand.
Murong Chang Feng saw each distinct train of thought, each simplified a.n.a.lysis, every single word to the point and relevant to the answer. The pupils of his eyes repeatedly constricted and dilated.
He’d never thought that those components could be used in these ways.
What the sixth armament referred to, in particular, wasn’t something that he, or maybe even his master could have known. The little component that they deemed to be of the least value, could actually have such a big effect!
“She, she really drew up these seven or eight designs?”
At a distant place, the human figure’s voice s.h.i.+vered. “Elder Huan, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were acquainted with an armaments genius!”
Huan Ming Xiang opened his eyes wide. “What would you have me say, I didn’t know at all that this girl knew armaments. I only knew that her ability martial qi was similarly incredible! In regards to other things, I also only discovered it today!” He was also very depressed, OK? ! He and that girl’s been together for tens of days now, yet he’s surprisingly still unclear about what’s going on with that girl!
“My G.o.d, what kind of freaks have the Inferior Compound admitted this year!” The human figure called them freaks, but his eyes actually were s.h.i.+ning with the light of seeing rare treasures!
Huan Ming Xiang rubbed his chin, murmuring to himself. “No wonder! Tusu Feng, that despicable fellow, suddenly wanted to head the Inferior Compound himself. Since the icey youngster is that person, then the student next to him who chose divination as his specialty…who can he be?”
“Elder Huan, what’re you saying? Who’s who?” The human figure’s was only thinking of Wei Wei. Right now, he only wished that after this,he could see what she looked like when she personally a.s.sembled armaments.
Huan Ming Xiang curved his lips and smiled, deep in thought. “Nothing. I was saying that you’re right, this year, the Inferior Compound totally collected a bunch of freaks.”
And Murong Chang Feng standing on the stage, as he heard the drawn breaths by his ears, his body stiffened.
He…truly lost?
He lost to the girl who he disdained the most?
