Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 736 - 573_2

The surrounding crowd also heard Nie Yu’s words, and expressions of interest appeared on their faces; it seemed there was going to be a good show.

At this moment, Lin Feng was speechless. Was this Nie Yu even worthy of being called a peerless prodigy?

What a joke of a prodigy!

When had he ever said he would trample all prodigies underfoot within a year?

The other party’s ability to fabricate was indeed not small, talking nonsense without even changing his expression!

However, for Lin Feng, one year was too long; he could achieve it within half a year.

Sikong Yan’s gaze fell on Lin Feng, his eyes slightly narrowed as he sized up Lin Feng, a cold light flickering in his pupils.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Then, Sikong Yan took steps and walked towards Lin Feng.

The crowd once again parted with a rustle, clearing a path for Sikong Yan.

Soon, Sikong Yan arrived in front of Lin Feng and stood still.

"You’re very arrogant?" Sikong Yan asked emotionlessly.

"What is arrogance?" Lin Feng, facing Sikong Yan, replied without changing his expression.

"Arrogance is blind self-importance, blind arrogance!" Sikong Yan said.

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "That’s fine, I am never blind!"

Sikong Yan’s face remained emotionless, his thoughts unknown, as he just coldly stared at Lin Feng.

"In light of the face of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Sky-reaching Peak Master, I will not kill you, I will forgive your ignorance," said Sikong Yan after a moment. "Immediately apologize to brother Nie and compensate him for all his losses, and then we can let the matter rest."

Hearing Sikong Yan’s demand, Lin Feng met his gaze without a hint of fear.

Immediately after, Lin Feng coldly said, "Sorry, in my life, there’s no room for apologies or compensation."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Sikong Yan’s pupils burst with a sharp glint.

"Very well, it seems you want me to make a move?"

A hint of a cold smile appeared on Sikong Yan’s lips, and suddenly, serpents of fire appeared around him, causing the temperature around him to surge dramatically.

The terrifying temperature twisted the void and began melting the ground, forming a heatwave that swept in all directions like an overwhelming force.

The faces of the surrounding spectators changed, and they hurriedly retreated with a rustle.

The heatwave emanating from Sikong Yan was unstoppable, surging wildly toward Lin Feng.

Though the heatwave was invisible, its temperature was high enough to melt metal, truly terrifying.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, the Spirit Vortex within his body spinning as Five-Colored Dark Power surged, immediately forming a Dark Energy Shield around him to block the heatwave.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

As the heatwave swept over the Dark Energy Shield, the shield twisted continuously and emitted a sizzling sound, releasing a large amount of white smoke.

"Such formidable Fire Attribute Power!" Lin Feng couldn’t help but be astonished internally; the strength of the other party’s heatwave was such that even his Five-Colored Dark Power was somewhat struggling to hold up.

"So, you have already reached the True Xuan Realm, no wonder you’re so fearless!" Sikong Yan’s face showed scorn.

A mere First Layer of True Xuan Realm was worth nothing in front of him.

As he spoke, Sikong Yan’s hands surged with crimson Dark Power, preparing to take action and suppress Lin Feng with overwhelming force.<>

Of course, Lin Feng wasn’t going to sit and wait for death; the Five-Colored Dark Power in his body instantly transformed into Four-Colored Dark Power, surging and roaring through his meridians.

A great battle was about to erupt!

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the battle between Sikong Yan and Lin Feng.

However, no one was optimistic about Lin Feng; although both were considered monstrous geniuses, the gap in their cultivation was simply too great.

Although Lin Feng’s ability to fight above his level was unmatched, the huge gap in cultivation was something that could not be made up for.

Nie Yu’s face was filled with sneers; Lin Feng definitely couldn’t be a match for Sikong Yan. Sikong Yan’s cultivation had reached the Seventh Layer of the True Xuan Realm, his combat power defying the heavens, able to easily defeat an average Ninth Layer Martial Artist of the True Xuan Realm.

And Lin Feng, although he has reached the First Layer of the True Xuan Realm, with a gap of six minor realms, even if Lin Feng’s combat strength is exceedingly strong, it would still be impossible for him to defeat Sikong Yan.

Nie Yu had already prepared himself. After Sikong Yan defeated Lin Feng, he would humiliate Lin Feng severely.

Ming Yu’s eyebrows slightly knitted together as she quietly watched everything, her thoughts unknown.

Just as Sikong Yan and Lin Feng were about to clash, suddenly, the gate of the Artifact Refining Tower creaked open.

A group of people strode out from the Artifact Refining Tower. There were more than a dozen of them, led by a horse-faced elder, and the rest were either middle-aged or young men.

These people all shared a common emblem—the chest of their robes was embroidered with an Artifact Refining Furnace emblem the size of a fingernail.

The Artifact Refiners of Heaven and Sea Pavilion all used a golden Artifact Refining Furnace as their emblem, with a clear and definitive level designation.

The number of Artifact Refining Furnaces embroidered on the chest indicated the level of the Artifact Refiner, while silver threads below the furnaces represented the grade.

One silver thread for Low Grade, two for Middle Grade, three for Upper Grade.

For instance, if there were four golden Artifact Refining Furnaces and two silver threads below them on one’s chest, it would signify that this person is a Level Four Middle Grade Artifact Refiner.

The crowd was shocked upon seeing the emblem on the horse-faced elder’s chest.

Because on his chest, there were strikingly six golden Artifact Refining Furnaces, and below the furnaces were three silver threads.

Level Six Upper Grade Artifact Refiner!

Everyone was astounded. This unremarkable-looking horse-faced elder turned out to be a King Level Upper Grade Artifact Refiner!

A King Level Upper Grade Artifact Refiner is capable of forging King Level Upper Grade weapons. Such a person is already at the peak of the pyramid in the East Continent.

Even Martial Emperor powerhouses would not dare to slight a Level Six Upper Grade Artifact Refiner.

Behind the horse-faced elder were a whole group of people who were uniformly Level Five Artifact Refiners, ranging from Level Five Low Grade to Level Five Upper Grade.

The horse-faced elder led a group of Artifact Refiners out of the Artifact Refining Tower, surveyed the surroundings, and announced in a loud voice: "All Artifact Refiners participating in the artifact forging competition, follow me into the Artifact Refining Tower first, others will follow later."

After speaking, the horse-faced elder turned and walked back into the Artifact Refining Tower, without any dilly-dallying.

The Artifact Refiners participating in the competition hurried to keep up, surging into the Artifact Refining Tower like a tide.

Sikong Yan, upon seeing this, glanced at Lin Feng and said, "After the artifact forging competition is over, I’ll settle the score with you, I hope you won’t run away in advance!"

After speaking, Sikong Yan turned and walked into the Artifact Refining Tower.

He wasn’t worried that Lin Feng would run away. As an unparalleled genius who was also arrogantly proud, Lin Feng surely had immense pride in his heart and would not easily flee!

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh and then also strode into the Artifact Refining Tower.

Nie Yu saw this, a trace of disappointment flashing across his face. However, it was fortunate that Lin Feng hadn’t left, and there was still a chance.

Lin Feng followed the crowd into the Artifact Refining Tower, discovering that the space inside was extremely vast, spanning thousands of feet. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The first layer of the tower was like a Martial Arts Arena, surrounded by tier upon tier of circular stands, with hundreds of layers capable of accommodating nearly a hundred thousand people, a truly spectacular sight.

And at the center of the circular stands, there was a very spacious open ground, which had hundreds of Artifact Refining Furnaces placed on it.

These Artifact Refining Furnaces, all of the same pattern, were akin to being duplicated.

The Artifact Refiners participating in this competition totaled six to seven thousand, most of whom were Level Five Artifact Refiners, while there were very few at Level Four.

The artifact forging competition of Heaven and Sea Pavilion was generally a contest between Level Five Artifact Refiners, and the Pavilion did not hold the ones below Level Five in high regard.

And as for the higher ranked Level Six Artifact Refiners, they were too scarce, and even if they wanted to join Heaven and Sea Pavilion, they did not need to participate in such competitions.

All competing Artifact Refiners followed behind the horse-faced elder, who led them to the middle of the arena.

Subsequently, the horse-faced elder ignored everyone and went to sit down on the reserved judges’ seats by himself.

In a short while, other people also flooded into the tower.

However, due to limited space inside the tower, many Martial Artists with lower cultivation were not permitted to enter, only a few high-level practitioners in the True Xuan Realm and a handful of powerhouses who had reached Martial King Level were allowed to enter the tower.

Even so, the stands that could accommodate nearly a hundred thousand people were severely overcapacity, with many people even having to stand below the stands.

The gate of the Artifact Refining Tower was closed again, and the dozen or so Artifact Refiners from Heaven and Sea Pavilion returned to the tower, sitting down on the judges’ seats.

After a short while, a skinny middle-aged Artifact Refiner on the judges’ seats stood up and announced in a clear voice.

"Welcome everyone to participate in the artifact forging competition organized by Heaven and Sea Pavilion. Like the previous competitions, the top ten of this competition will become Honorary Artifact Refiners of Heaven and Sea Pavilion."
