Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Wager
Ye Feng was bitterly smiled by Master Ku’s words. He didn’t even think about it. Now, Ye Feng was wholeheartedly cultivating, striving to step onto the peak of martial arts as soon as possible, even shattering the void, heading towards the Immortal Dimension. This was Ye Feng’s goal.

“Kid Ye, take good care of it. Don’t let down Xiao Mei’s expectations of you. I’ll leave first.”

Master Ku laughed loudly, leaving behind a black line of Ye Feng standing in the room.

In the next few days, no one came to disturb Ye Feng. Master Ku did come a few times. He did not mention about the Equipment Refining Tournament anymore and concentrated on discussing the Equipment Refining Technique with Ye Feng. In the past few days, Ye Feng’s understanding of the Inscribed Soul Technique had improved a lot.

What Ye Feng lacked was experience, and what Master Ku lacked the most was experience. One of them was rich in theory, while the other was rich in experience. They studied and learned from each other, and their respective inscription soul arts were unknowingly improving.

However, the one who really benefited was Ye Feng. After all, Ye Feng did not talk about the true core of the Inscription Soul Technique. It was just some insignificant inscription patterns. The true Grand Dao inscription patterns Ye Feng did not say. People had evil intentions, so Ye Feng had to guard against them.

“Ye Feng, the Equipment Refining Tournament is in three days. How are your considerations? Time is running out. We need to hand over the participants.”

In a courtyard, Master Ku stopped talking about artifact forging and asked Ye Feng.

“I can agree to it, but I have one request!”

Ye Feng agreed to participate in the Equipment Refining Competition, but there was one request.

“Tell me what you want.”

Master Ku’s face was filled with excitement. No matter what request he made, as long as he could accomplish it, he would agree.

“Very simple. I want to get all the rewards for this championship.”

Ye Feng was also a mortal. If he took the risk to participate in the Equipment Refining Competition, he had to receive a corresponding reward.

“Of course. If you can win the championship, the Qi Clan won’t charge you a single cent of the resources you get. In fact, they will even give you a large amount of treasures.”

Master Ku thought it was still a big deal. With such a large family business, how could the Qi Clan attach importance to the reward of the championship? What they wanted was honor. The Qi Clan could no longer afford to lose people. They had to regroup and win back the championship.

The reason why Ye Feng needed resources was because he felt that he would break through to the Earth Martial Realm in a period of time. At that time, he would need a huge amount of resources. Ye Feng had to gather all of them as soon as possible, relying on the task, it was very slow.

Entering the Blood Demon Battlefield could kill a large number of Blood Demons, but it was time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, Blood Demons were not countless. Once they were all killed here, Ye Feng would have to change the area. This was not worth it.

If he could obtain a large amount of resources in the Equipment Refining Tournament, Ye Feng thought that it was a good choice. Adding on the fact that he represented the Qi Clan in the battle, the safety issue was also greatly guaranteed. In the Imperial City, no one dared to attack the Qi Clan’s attention.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed and the entire Imperial City suddenly became lively.

At the center of the imperial city, an incomparably large square was built. On the side of the square, there was also a palace. At that time, the people from the imperial family would appear here.

There were a total of ten disciples from the Qi Clan participating in the Equipment Refining Competition this time. Ye Feng was also one of them. Many people were puzzled as to why Ye Feng had to participate. It looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if he was refining equipment, it would only be three or two years old.

Because there was a strict age limit for the Youth Competition, it had to be within 25 years of age. As a result, many of the Qi Clan’s senior artificers were unable to participate, and there were no good seedlings amongst the youths, so they had no chance of winning the championship for several consecutive terms.

Before the time had come, the entire square was already bustling with activity. Countless martial artists gathered around to watch this grand banquet.

Every three years, the Li Yuan Kingdom would hold a tool forging competition. However, they were all from the younger generation. The origin of the Li Yuan Kingdom came from tool forging. The first emperor was a powerful tool forger. He had been inherited to this day, allowing the Li Yuan Kingdom to pursue the tool forging technique diligently.

Every three years, almost all the elites of Li Yuan Country gathered. Most of them came from afar. They wanted to participate in this competition, strive to win the championship, obtain the royal prize, and even become officials. Although they couldn’t compare to those big sects, the Li Yuan Country’s Equipment Refining Competition was definitely very grand.

There were about a thousand furnaces in the square, all prepared for the artifact refining geniuses who had come to participate in this event.

At this moment, the crowd was already completely surrounded by people, all of them wishing to witness a glorious era.

“Prime Minister, everything is ready. We can set off now!”

Master Ku was the leader of the Qi Clan this time, leading more than ten talented artificers to the plaza to prepare for the competition.

“Let’s go!”

Qi Sheng waved his hand and a group of people quickly walked towards the plaza. Qi Ruomei was also in the crowd. When she heard that Ye Feng had agreed to participate in the Qi Clan, she was very confused and even shocked. Now that she saw Ye Feng, she was no longer the Wu Xia Ah Meng she had met back then.

Qi Ruomei remembered that she had left a Xiantian cultivation technique for Ye Feng back then, and even didn’t hesitate to meet him again in the future. Things in this world were unpredictable. Now that she recalled it, Qi Ruomei sighed endlessly.

“Junior Brother Ye, thank you so much for joining the competition for the Qi Clan!”

The two walked side by side, and Qi Ruomei was very grateful.

“They are fellow disciples. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Ye Feng said indifferently.

“The competition is over. Junior Brother Ye, are you going to the Devil Flame Mountain Range? It just so happens that I’m fine too. Why don’t we go together and take care of each other? It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”

Qi Ruomei wanted to return the favor to Ye Feng as soon as possible, otherwise, she would not feel good in her heart.

“Let’s talk about the end of the competition first!”

Ye Feng did not agree, nor did he not agree, because he did not know the result of the competition. If he could not win the championship, everything would have to change in another direction.

After spending an incense stick of time, the group finally entered the plaza and entered at a special entrance. Only the artificers participating this time could enter the plaza. The people following them entered the viewing area. Qi Sheng walked to the palace and looked down from above to watch the match.

“Greetings, Emperor!”

Qi Sheng entered the palace and found that the emperor had arrived. He said respectfully.

“No need for courtesy. I wonder what the two beloved ladies think about the triennial Weaponry Refining Competition.”

Yang Kuitian was one step ahead of Qi Sheng and was currently in the palace.

“Emperor, I heard that there are quite a few geniuses gathered this time. It seems that the competition is very fierce. It is truly a blessing for my Li Yuan Kingdom.”

Yang Kuitian said first, still smelling like flattery.

“That’s right, there are indeed many geniuses this time!”

Qi Sheng agreed.

“Oh, Prime Minister Qi seems to have received quite a bit of news. This time, both the Hu Clan and the You Clan have genius artificers. They are the hot candidates for the championship. Is Prime Minister Qi interested in taking a gamble?”

Yang Kuitian said with a wicked smile.

“That’s a good suggestion. Bring the Lonely King along. The competition is too boring. We might as well have some exciting fun.”

The Emperor actually suggested to participate, which made Qi Sheng unable to refuse.

“Since the emperor is willing to participate, I don’t dare to refuse. I don’t know what to bet on.”

Qi Sheng felt that this was a trap. The two of them sang together and waited for him to jump in. There was no excuse to refuse.

“Ordinary things definitely won’t enter Qi Xiangfa’s eyes. We might as well bet a little more. We only have one troop, plus 500,000 True Spirit Pills and one Dragon Tiger Pill. What do you think?”

Yang Kui Tian spoke and actually made such a big bet. Although Qi Sheng’s expression did not change, his heart was still shocked. Indeed, it was true. The two of them were singing together. Indeed, it was not a good thing. They dug a big pit and waited for him to jump.

“That’s right. The stakes aren’t small, and they aren’t small. Only then will there be excitement.”

The emperor was very satisfied with this bet.

Qi Sheng’s face revealed a look of embarrassment. The Qi Clan had already lost one troop. If they lost again, they would lose another troop. From the fifth troop to the third troop. At that time, they would have no capital to fight against the Yang Clan.

However, it also made Qi Sheng understand that this should be the Emperor’s idea to slowly erode the Qi Clan’s forces.

“Could it be that Prime Minister Qi doesn’t dare to bet? If Prime Minister Qi doesn’t dare to bet, then pretend that I didn’t say anything. We might as well change the stakes. At most, we can bet on a few old houses.”

Yang Kuitian looked down on Xiang Qi with contempt, forcing him to refuse. At this moment, all the officials were present. If Qi Sheng refused, he really wouldn’t have the face to leave this place.

“Alright, since both the Emperor and Prime Minister Yang are in such a mood, how can I disappoint them? Let’s follow Prime Minister Yang and follow this bet.”

Qi Sheng agreed to the bet.

The corners of the Emperor’s and Yang Kuitian’s mouths drew an arc. They had grasped Qi Sheng’s weakness. Face was always Qi Sheng’s fatal weakness.

“I wonder who will win against each other.”

This time, they gave the opportunity to Prime Minister Qi, so there would be a great chance for them to choose first.

To them, the information of these 1,000 plus people had long been completely grasped. After many analyses, they knew who would win the championship. There were probably only a few candidates.

“I choose Ye Feng!”

Qi Xiang hesitated for a moment, but his eyes were still firm as he chose Ye Feng to win the championship.

“Oh, Prime Minister Qi, are you sure?”

Yang Kuitian had also received news that the Qi Clan had actually sent Ye Feng to participate. Furthermore, he could not find any information about his forging. In other words, Ye Feng might not be able to forge weapons.

“Sure!”

In front of so many people, it was impossible for the three of them to go back on their word.

“Alright, I’ll choose Yang Xiaofeng!”

Yang Kuitian chose his own son. This was something that Mu Yong doubted, because this time he was here for the championship.

In the end, the two of them looked at the emperor and saw who he would choose.

“Then I’ll choose the Hu Clan youth!”

The emperor chose a youth from the Hu Clan named Hu Ling. He was also a young artificer who had only recently risen to prominence. He heard that he had obtained an ancient inheritance, and his artificing skills were extremely superb.

After entering the plaza, Ye Feng followed the token in his hand and found his own seat. It happened to be in the first row and was the closest to the palace. It seemed that all the geniuses had been arranged in the closest position this time. It was also arranged on purpose to enhance their appreciation.

A cold gaze looked towards Ye Feng, seemingly unfriendly.

Turning his head, Ye Feng happened to see a youth in his twenties with a gloomy expression. When Ye Feng came, he had already seen a list of more than a thousand people. This youth was very impressed. He was precisely Yang Xiaofeng, Yang Kuitian’s son, the most promising candidate to win the championship.

Ye Feng’s eyes turned cold. It was as if this Yang Xiaofeng had killing intent towards him. A powerful soul force swallowed him up. The other party was very alert. At the moment Ye Feng’s soul force appeared, a powerful soul force also appeared.
