The Mightiest Little Peasant Webnovel - Chapter 867
Chapter 867: Sensational Event
“What’s going on?”
Tang Hao was stunned as he looked up at the sky. When he saw the strange phenomenon, he could not help but be stunned. Why did the situation look so familiar? It was the same as when the old man with a club received a reward.
No, it was a lot grander.
Everyone also looked up at the sky. The next moment, they froze.
The entire street and even the entire market fell into a dead silence.
“Rainbow-colored light!”
“Oh my god! Why is there rainbow-colored light?”
Everyone cried out in shock.
Rainbow-colored light would only appear in the Void Realm whenever a record was broken.
The reward for breaking a record was also extremely precious. One would get at least a purple gold shard. Some major records would give out dark gold shards too.
One had to know that gold shards were already extremely precious, and platinum shards were even rarer. Sects would wage war against each other over purple gold shards.
Every time the rainbow-colored light appeared, it would cause a huge commotion in the entire Void Realm.
How did the rainbow-colored light appear? Did someone break a record, and which one was it?
Everyone in the market was extremely curious and excited.
They stared at the light to see where it landed.
They were stunned to see the light directly on top of them.
“What’s going on? Did someone here break a record?”
“Damn! Who could it be?”
Everyone looked at each other. Some of them glanced at Tang Hao, but they chuckled and looked somewhere else.
How was that possible? He was only a newbie who had died a little too many times. How could he break the record? It would be a miracle if he did.
“It’s not me!”
Everyone looked around, but they could not find anyone.
Then, they raised their heads and looked at the sky.
The rainbow-colored light slowly descended. Finally, it illuminated the public square.
Everyone looked around them. They were petrified when they saw that the light was shining on that kid.
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
Their eyes opened wide and almost popped out of their sockets. Their faces were contorted in shock and disbelief.
How could it be that kid?
They could not figure it out at all.
Even Tang Hao was dumbfounded. He did not understand why the light was shining down on him.
He looked closely at the pillar of light and saw a bronze tablet with words carved on it.
“Courage?”
That was the biggest word carved on the monument. Below it was a list of names carved in a smaller font. Some were normal names, but many were simple “Nameless.”
When the bronze tablet landed in front of Tang Hao, the list of words began to change. They moved down one place at once, leaving the first line blank.
“Please carve your name!”
An elderly voice came from the sky.
Tang Hao was stunned. He wanted to carve “Tang Ritian,” but after thinking about it, he decided not to use that name.
He hesitated for a moment and carved the word “Nameless.” Then, he carved the word “Qin.”
Nameless Qin!
After he finished carving the name, the bronze tablet vibrated and shot into the sky.
“Today, Nameless Qin had faced a formidable enemy without fear of death. His perseverance broke the record! His courage is commendable. I will give him a dark gold shard as a reward.”
That old voice came from the heavens and spread throughout the Void Realm.
At that moment, everyone in the Void Realm raised their heads and looked at the sky.
“Courage? Oh my god, someone broke the record!”
“A dark gold shard! Nameless Qin? Who’s that?”
The entire Void Realm became lively all of a sudden.
It had been a long time since a dark gold shard appeared!
That was a treasure that could drive anyone crazy!
“It’s just over there. Quick! Gather everyone and follow me. We must get that shard!”
“Quick, quick! Get everyone here and tell them that a dark gold shard has appeared!”
In the Ninth Region, the various major forces began to gather, preparing to snatch the shard.
Meanwhile, in the market, everyone went crazy.
“Oh my god! A dark gold shard!”
They cried out in surprise. Their gazes on Tang Hao were filled with greed and jealousy.
‘He doesn’t deserve it!
‘He’s only a newbie here for the first day. Moreover, he’s only a kid. What right did he have to claim the dark gold shard?’
Tang Hao was also stunned.
‘Dark gold? Oh my god!’
He felt as though he had struck the jackpot. The dark gold shard was the best type of shard, and the rainbow-colored shard was only a legend.
After dying so many times, he broke a record and obtained a dark gold shard. That was unbelievably lucky!
After the bronze tablet disappeared, a dark gold light fell from the sky and landed on his palm. It was a shining dark gold shard.
Tang Hao was extremely excited as he held the shard.
Then, he shuddered involuntarily when he noticed how the other people were looking at him.
If he died in the Void Realm, his belongings would become loot. The people did not make their move perhaps because the light had not disappeared. Once it did, Tang Hao was sure that they would swarm him.
He might be able to fight them one on one, but there were too many of them. He would definitely lose the shard to someone else.
“I want to exchange it!” Tang Hao hurriedly shouted.
Everyone was stunned. Then, they started cursing, “Dammit, kid, what do you think you’re doing? Give me the shard, or I’ll kill you every time I see you.”
“Don’t be reckless, kid. You can’t get anything good for a single dark gold shard. I’ll trade many cultivation manuals with you for it. Back in the real world, I’ll give you anything you want as long as you give me the shard.”
They were all anxious. If that kid exchanged the shard for something else, it would be gone forever.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. He was not going to fall for it!
Suddenly, a golden book fell from the sky.
On it were the names of various cultivation techniques, as well as the number of shards required.
“First-tier? Second-tier?”
The cultivation techniques were divided into five tiers. The fifth tier was the lowest and needed iron shards. The cheapest techniques cost one thousand iron shards, while the most expensive ones cost around ten thousand.
Fourth tier techniques needed gold shards, and so on.
First-tier techniques were the best. The cheapest one needed five dark gold shards.
“Damn, I need five!” Tang Hao was frustrated.
“If I can’t exchange it for a first-tier technique, then second-tier techniques would do!” Tang Hao flipped over to the list of second-tier techniques.
“Hey! Can I exchange a dark gold shard for a second-tier cultivation technique?” Tang Hao asked toward the sky.
After a while, the voice replied.
“Yes! Pick any technique you want! Make your choice.”
The voice was old and emotionless.
“Are you crazy, kid? That’s a dark gold shard, but you’re going to exchange it with a second-tier technique? That’s a big waste of a divine gift!”
“That’s such a waste, you good-for-nothing brat!”
The old man with the club pounded his chest and stomped his feet as he cursed loudly.
Tang Hao could not be bothered with them. He scanned the list of techniques, and one of the entries caught his eye.
