The Great Wild God - Chapter 208
Chapter 208 Three Broken Arrows
Jiang Ke restrained his anger completely. A harsh expression flashed in his cold eyes as he sneered, “With just his three broken arrows, Senior Sister Chang Xi might not trust him too much even if he wants to defeat me.”
Many of the disciples in front of the Sword Test Platform thought that Chang Xi had just arrived, so they couldn’t help but laugh because they didn’t know the situation.
It wasn’t that Cloud Continent didn’t have some powerful secret talisman arrows, but as a disposable consumable item, its value, like spirit talismans, was far from being comparable to a magical artifact of the same grade.
Jiang Ke had only refined a mid-grade Advanced Spirit Sword within three days, but Gu Yangfeng, an outer sect disciple, had to refine a high-grade Advanced Spirit Arrow or even an Earth-grade Spirit Arrow in order to defeat Jiang Ke.
There was no way to weigh the pros and cons of the Outer Sect disciples who weren’t familiar with the Dao of Weaponry Refining. However, they believed that there were many direct disciples present, as well as many Weaponry Refiners from the Zhu Feng Weaponry Refining Academy. It was impossible for the Outer Sect disciples of Gu Yang Peak to conceal from their eyes just how high their level of Weaponry Refining was on the three secret Talisman Arrows.
Lei Wanhe smiled bitterly and said to Gu Chengzhuo, “Senior Sister Chang Xi still doesn’t know the situation. We also don’t know how much she secretly bet on Junior Brother Chen Xun. If Junior Brother Chen Xun caused her to suffer a huge loss, I wonder if she will blame us …”
Looking at the many disciples in front of the Sword Testing Platform, they all looked over. Chen Xun held three secret talisman arrows in his hand and walked towards the Sword Testing Platform.
However, looking at the seven or eight people standing in the air around the Sword Testing Platform, each of them had a momentum as strong as a mountain. They were all direct disciples who had come to watch the show today. Chen Xun had not expected that competing with Jiang Ke in forging weapons would cause such a sensation.
However, these direct legacies were either disciples of Tianji Peak or people who had an old grudge with Jiang Ke and ran over to see Jiang Ke’s good show.
There were some people who wanted to see the arrogant and ignorant him learn a lesson, but Chen Xun knew more about most people’s minds.
It was only natural for him to lose, but if that was the case, there was no drama at all. Why would these people come here to watch the show?
Chen Xun smiled in his heart. If he lost, he would truly disappoint everyone’s expectations.
Chen Xun went to the sword test platform and handed over all three secret talisman arrows to Gu Yangfeng’s Weaponry Refining Dean, Elder Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was originally a direct disciple of Gu Yangfeng. Judging from his appearance, he was only forty years old, but he was actually three hundred years old.
After he was two hundred years old, he was unable to break through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. He knew that it would be difficult to cultivate Origin Pills in this life, so he went to the Gu Yangfeng Tool Refining Academy to study tool refining techniques.
Zhou Yang had always regarded Chen Xun and Jiang Ke as farce in this artifact forging contest, but the source of the matter was still the troublesome Chang Xi, so he had no way to stop it.
Zhou Yang wouldn’t believe that a mere outer sect disciple could really suppress Jiang Ke in forging weapons. As the Guyang Peak’s forging dean, he could only come to pick up this hot potato.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Yang helplessly received the three giant secret talisman arrows, and even looked at Chen Xun impatiently.
However, with the three secret talisman arrows in hand, Zhou Yang’s heart suddenly lifted, and he had a dark feeling that it was so heavy.
In this world, it was not that there was no magic bow, but it was mostly guarded by spiritual energy, so the weight of the arrow would not affect the range of the shot.
Previously, he had only been observing from afar, yet he also had a heart of contempt. He did not put the three secret talisman arrows in his eyes, but now that he had taken a closer look, the feeling was completely different.
These three talisman arrows didn’t look sharp at all. They were more like egg-sized hexagonal hammers. They were dark and gloomy. They were densely engraved with profound talismans that were as thin as strands of hair.
It was indeed rare for such a small arrow to be engraved with layers upon layers of talismans. Zhou Yang restrained his disdain and revealed his divine sense to carefully examine the subtleties of the arrow.
However, just as he penetrated his divine sense into the arrow, a burst of raging flames instantly engulfed his divine sense.
Zhou Yang was secretly shocked. To what extent was the flames pure enough to devour the divine soul and spiritual sense?
At this time, Zhou Yang was truly aware of the extraordinary aspects of these three arrows. However, his Divine Concept was so profound that he could actually see nine balls of azure flames that weren’t much larger than soybeans in the arrow. There were also a few layers of profound talisman restrictions within the flames, but it was difficult to observe them with his divine sense …
Although the other artificers didn’t take over the secret talisman arrows, when they stood beside Zhou Yang and saw the profound talisman engraved on the arrow so subtly, they felt that Gu Yangfeng, an outer sect disciple, was still somewhat arrogant even though he wasn’t as good as Jiang Ke in artifact forging.
As a direct disciple of Tianji Peak, Jiang Ke had advanced into the Heaven Essence realm. The purity of his spirit essence and the subtlety of his movements were definitely beyond the reach of a Reincarnation Realm disciple. Jiang Ke was also born in the Yuanwu Marquis Manor, which was famous for forging weapons. It was not surprising that he was stronger than an unknown outer disciple of Gu Yangfeng in forging.
It could even be said that this unknown outer sect disciple of Gu Yang Peak was already quite pleasantly surprised to be able to refine such an exquisite Secret Talisman Peak.
Everyone else looked at Elder Zhou Yang of Gu Yangfeng’s Weaponry Refining Academy. They thought that Gu Yangfeng had actually produced a disciple who was skilled in Weaponry Refining. His value was not inferior to the disciples of the Ancient Desolate Bloodline and the Xiantian Dao Embryo. They were filled with envy, but they also thought that this person was extremely arrogant. He had a close relationship with Chang Xi’s female devil. They were afraid that Zhou Yang would not be able to control him.
“Senior Brother Zhou, what do you think of this arrow?” Someone saw Zhou Yang holding three secret talisman arrows and frowned for a long time without letting go, urging him to ask.
Zhou Yang looked at Chen Xun in confusion. He thought to himself that if he couldn’t even see through the truth of the talisman arrows refined by the outer sect disciples, he would probably be ridiculed by Chang Xi if he said so. He quietly handed the talisman arrows to the artificer beside him, “Junior Brother Zhao, come take a look …”
Only when Zhou Yang was worried about his status as an Elder of Gu Yangfeng did others deliberately leave the judgment to Yuan Wu Hall’s artificer Zhao Gaojing.
Zhao Gaojing couldn’t wait to receive the secret talisman arrow. He had just penetrated his divine sense into the arrow to probe the internal structure when the divine sense burned with raging flames. He almost threw the secret talisman arrow out of his hand. He asked in surprise, “What kind of strange arrow is this? If it’s a fire talisman arrow, why is there such fierce flames hidden within it?”
“This disciple only relies on this little artifact forging ability to make a living. I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you the details. Please forgive me, Elder Zhao.” Chen Xun said humbly.
Weaponry refiners all had their own unique skills. If it weren’t for the inheritance of their master and disciple, no one would be allowed to peek at them.
Therefore, when Jiang Ke said that Chen Xun had secretly learned the Origin Marquis Manor’s artifact forging technique, Chen Xun angrily provoked him, others felt that it made sense.
If it weren’t for the competition, no one would have even allowed others to use their divine sense to carefully examine the magical artifacts they had refined.
Only when Zhao Gaojing was also shocked did he blurt out that he did not intend to inquire about other people’s weapon forging secrets. However, calling Chen Xun this time seemed to have ulterior motives.
Zhao Gaojing’s face was flushed red, and he was extremely displeased. He said, “The arrow conceals Yang fire, a small skill. However, this arrow is quite refined. Overlaying armor piercing, hard blades, and Spirit Severing Talismans, there are indeed merits to it. It can barely be considered as a mid-grade advancement …”
Secret Talisman Arrows could only be considered mid-grade, and Spirit Swords were also mid-grade. However, Secret Talisman Arrows were disposable consumables, so they were naturally far inferior to Spirit Swords.
Of course, the other artificers knew that the secret talisman arrow’s flames were still hiding a mystery. However, even Zhou Yang couldn’t see through what this mystery was, so he couldn’t speak for a moment.
When the disciples in front of the Sword Test Platform saw that the other artificers didn’t say anything, they thought that they all agreed with Zhao Gaojing’s judgment and laughed out loud, “Is this kid really capable? I didn’t expect that he is purely an arrogant person.”
“Brat, you don’t mind watching the fun. If the might of a direct disciple is really that easy to provoke, then wouldn’t the Divine Night Sect turn the tables?”
Chen Xun smiled and retrieved the Secret Talisman Arrow from Zhao Gaojing’s hand. “Are these three arrows really that bad? Can you tell by testing the sword …” he said.
There was an uproar in front of the stage. Who would have thought that Gu Yangfeng, an outer sect disciple, would not cry until he saw the coffin at this stage?
Zhou Yang also wanted to see what was going on with this arrow. He looked to the left and right and asked Jiang Ke, “Junior Brother Jiang, can you accept Chen Xun’s three arrows with your sword?”
Jiang Ke held the sword and guarded Chen Xun’s three arrows, which seemed to be unfair to Jiang Ke, but Jiang Ke was a direct disciple, and his cultivation had already advanced to the Heavenly Origin Mirror. The condensation of soul, fate, and spirit essence was ten times stronger than that of a Reincarnation Realm disciple.
Not to mention that Jiang Ke still had a spirit sword in his hand, even if he was bare-handed, what could a mere outer sect disciple like Three Arrows do to him?
Lei Wanhe was so angry that he wanted to curse. He thought to himself, Zhou Yang, your grandson’s elbow actually turned outwards. To be fair, it was only natural that disciples with similar cultivation bore three arrows on their spirit swords.
Jiang Ke smiled, thinking that this brat was so arrogant that he couldn’t even look over Gu Yangfeng’s Zhou Yang. He smiled and said, “If this brat’s three arrows can force me to take half a step back, then I will lose.”
Jiang Ke leapt onto the sword test platform with his sword in his hand and casually danced out the sword flower like a martial artist.
The sword shadows condensed and did not disperse, as if countless spirit shields were scattered all over his body.
Jiang Ke’s skill was revealed, and the Sword Test Platform was immediately filled with applause.
Chen Xun calmly climbed onto the sword test platform and spat out a ball of Spiritual Qi. His hands opened and closed, and a giant Spiritual Qi bow was placed in front of him.
The Spirit Bow Technique was not a small profound art of the Reincarnation Realm, so it could not attract any cheers. Chen Xun placed three secret talisman arrows on the bowstring of the Spirit Strength Bow together. Seeing that Jiang Ke still looked arrogant, he sneered and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, I have offended …”
As Chen Xun pulled the strings, his aura abruptly leaked out like a mountain. The air currents in front of the sword test platform surged, causing the nearby disciples’ clothes to be blown to hunt …
Jiang Ke was also shocked. He didn’t expect that this brat really had the ability to be arrogant. Even though his spiritual energy hadn’t yet been refined into spiritual yuan, the aura he revealed was actually so strong that it wasn’t even below any late Reincarnation Realm disciple.
Jiang Ke immediately poured his Spirit Essence into the Spirit Sword and said in a deep voice, “Please …”
Three giant talisman arrows came out of the strings. They weren’t that fast. Lei Wanhe, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others were able to capture the flight trajectory of the talisman arrows in front of the sword testing platform. They could also see Jiang Keling’s sword trembling slightly as he slashed out three sword beams towards the three arrows.
Gu Chengzhuo secretly felt that Jiang Ke was cheating. Just now, he had clearly said that Jiang Ke was attacked by Chen Xun’s three arrows, but he didn’t say that he could transform into light to attack. However, just as Gu Chengzhuo wanted to cry out for injustice, the three arrows exploded. The flames exploded and retracted, causing Gu Chengzhuo to feel that at this moment, the space on the sword testing platform seemed to be torn apart by a huge force.
Gu Chengzhuo wasn’t too close to the sword test platform, But it was also shocked by the shocking waves of Qi that caused his footsteps to float, He hastily used the Dragon Locking Art to stabilize his body. Several weaker outer sect disciples beside him were immediately knocked to the ground by the Qi Wave. They stood up in a sorry state. Only then did they see Chen Xun, who had been prepared beforehand, flying out of the sky. He laid down several spirit shields to block the impact of the Qi Wave. The sword test platform, which was more than ten feet tall, had already turned into flying stone powder.
Everyone’s eyes widened, but they didn’t remove the restriction temporarily. How sturdy was the huge rock that could be chosen as the sword test platform, and yet it was so weak?
The stone powder gradually dissipated. Everyone saw Jiang Ke still standing in the distance. However, he was looking at the half of the spirit sword in his hand in disbelief. His magic clothes were ragged …
