Divine King of Honour-Chapter 242: Gu Fei’s Strength

Yann Xi never expected the gifted disciple her sister spoke of was the young man she met at Black Flame Lake.

Every time she thought about how this youngster had not only seen her body but also looked so arrogant, a surge of anger rose in her heart.

At this moment, Yann Hong’s face also showed a hint of urgency as Xu Nian was about to fall.

If he really fell from there, wouldn’t he be smashed to death?

"No, I have to save him," Yann Hong thought, preparing to rush out of the attic.

However, she was held back by Yann Xi.

"Don’t worry; he won’t die. If he was able to go up there, doesn’t he have a way to come down? Look at his expression; there’s not a trace of fear in it," Yann Xi said while holding back Yann Hong.

Yann Hong was somewhat skeptical.

But when she looked at Xu Nian, she indeed saw no hint of fear on his face.

On the contrary, he closed his eyes, appearing to enjoy the fall.

She was puzzled; how did Xu Nian get up there?

According to her intelligence, Xu Nian was merely a pinnacle powerhouse of the Battle Sect and definitely could not have the Marquis Realm’s ability to tread the air and fly.

The crowd in the plaza also wore expressions of surprise.

Xu Nian looked like he was about to plummet straight down and become a complete mess on impact.

However, just as Xu Nian was about a hundred meters from the ground, his eyes snapped open.

Next, a terrifying whirlwind appeared out of nowhere.

The fierce wind turned into a tornado that appeared instantly in everyone’s line of sight.

The Inner Sect Disciples were blown about in disarray, their expressions filled with shock.

Looking at Xu Nian again, he was in the eye of that tornado, slowly descending until he finally landed steadily on the ground.

"What... what in the world is this?" The Inner Sect Disciples gazed at Xu Nian who had landed, faces all showing puzzled expressions.

How could a tornado suddenly appear out of nowhere?

And how did Xu Nian fall from such a height unscathed?

Up in the attic, Yann Xi was also full of confusion.

In that instant, Xu Nian hadn’t utilized any Spiritual Energy, meaning he hadn’t used any Combat Skills.

But then, how exactly had that tornado formed out of thin air?

A natural phenomenon?

Impossible, how could it be such a coincidence?

But at that moment, Yann Xi noticed her sister’s face wearing an expression of shock, as if she had been greatly startled.

"Sister, even if he landed smoothly, there’s no need for you to be so surprised, right?" Yann Xi asked, not understanding.

However, Yann Hong shook her head and said, "You don’t understand. That tornado that appeared out of nowhere was actually created by him. I really didn’t expect that besides his heaven-defying Cultivation and Artifact Refining skills, his comprehension of realms is even more terrifying."

"Comprehension of realms? Has he already reached the level of Transformation Force?" Yann Xi asked in surprise.

Currently, she had only achieved the three Levels of Man and Sword as One and was still clueless about Transformation Force.

"Not just Transformation Force. He has reached the second layer, the Transformation Force Realm, while I’ve only just grasped the first layer," Yann Hong said, astonished.

The second layer of Transformation Force?

My goodness!

How old is he?

Yann Xi’s eyes widened as she looked towards Xu Nian, and now she finally understood why Xu Nian, who had been an Outer Disciple back then, didn’t consider her, an elite disciple, to be worth his attention—his strength and talent were leagues beyond her.

Xu Nian paid no attention to the confused gazes of the crowd but instead walked straight towards Gu Fei.

"Sorry, I got carried away with my Cultivation, let’s begin now," Xu Nian said to Gu Fei with a smile.

"Okay, let’s start. Here are the rules: choose your materials freely, there is no time limit, and whoever forges the best weapon will be considered the top genius of the Inner Sect," Gu Fei spoke.

"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded.

This unrestricted method of competition allowed Artifact Refiners to perform at their best.

It was a method that was both unfair and fair at the same time.

The crowd below also agreed, acknowledging that the competition without many restrictions was indeed more engaging.

"Then I’ll go first. This is the Xuan Iron Essence Gold I once bought for a hundred thousand Gold Coins. It is known as the finest of the Xuan Iron. I will use it for Artifact Refining," Gu Fei declared.

"Xuan Iron Essence Gold? It’s actually Xuan Iron Essence Gold, heavens, Gu Fei is really going all out!" The people below all showed surprised expressions.

Xu Nian merely smiled slightly. Xuan Iron Essence Gold—he had it too, after all, his storage ring possessed the wealth of almost half a Xuan Iron Vein.

"Buzz!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Fei made an Artifact Furnace appear in front of everyone.

"Goodness, is that a Xuan-Level top-grade Artifact Furnace?" The crowd once again revealed looks of surprise.

Then, a red flame emerged from Gu Fei’s hand.

"This is the Red Flame Burning Fire from the Red Flame Technique; I didn’t expect Gu Fei to have cultivated such a powerful flame."

"Yes, no wonder he reached the level of a Five-star Small Refiner at the age of twenty-two. A year has passed, and I wonder if he has reached the Six-star."

"Six-star? I think even Seven-star is possible."

The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion. Gu Fei’s Artifact Refining Materials, the Artifact Furnace, and even the flame were all top-notch among the Little Artifact Refiners.

With such equipment, as long as he did not perform abnormally, the quality of the weapons he refined would surpass the usual standard.

Next, Gu Fei started refining artifacts directly.

Gu Fei’s movements were extremely smooth, and he handled every detail very well.

It was clear that Gu Fei had a very good grasp of the properties of Xuan Iron, and his temperature control was quite on point.

When it came to shaping, Gu Fei took out a mold for a dagger.

A dagger is a rather difficult weapon to refine, as its small size demands very high standards for sharpness and detail.

Gu Fei’s choice to refine a dagger showed his great confidence in the weapons he crafted.

Soon, Gu Fei entered the final hammering stage.

And when it came to hammering, he placed an even greater emphasis on it than a typical Artifact Refiner, investing a lot of effort.

At last, an exquisite dagger was forged by his hands.

And this Xuan Iron dagger was extremely sharp, truly capable of slicing iron as if it were mud.

"Great weapon, this dagger has definitely reached the Seven-star Mysterious Iron Level Top Grade. I did not expect Gu Fei to have reached the level of a Seven-star Refiner." After seeing the dagger, everyone’s faces showed looks of surprise.

"Gu Fei really is an artifact-refining genius; his foundation is very solid. In less than two years, he will surely be promoted to elite disciple," Yann Xi said from the gallery, expressing her admiration.

"Mm, Gu Fei does indeed have talent, and he’s also a good person, but he has a proud streak deep down, so he needs someone to press down on him so that he can become a true jewel," Yann Hong said with a smile.

"Do you mean that Xu Nian can defeat Gu Fei?" Yann Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yann Hong simply smiled and said lightly, "Just watch and you’ll know!"

Yann Xi did not ask further, but she was somewhat skeptical in her heart.

How could Xu Nian, who had just entered the Inner Sect not long ago, possibly defeat Gu Fei, a Small Seven-star Refiner?

Gu Fei was very satisfied with his own work. Although he wasn’t arrogant, there was a sense of pride deep in his bones.

He did not accept that Xu Nian was the top genius of the Inner Sect, and that was why he had proposed a competition with Xu Nian.

Gu Fei turned his head to look at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled, understanding his intention.

With a gesture, Xu Nian summoned an utterly ordinary piece of Xuan Iron Ore into his hand.

"Eh, is he planning to refine a weapon from ordinary ore?" The surrounding crowd all showed looks of surprise.

They had thought Xu Nian would use some precious Artifact Refining Materials, but instead, he brought out a piece of ordinary Xuan Iron Ore.

How could they compare like this?

Even Gu Fei’s face showed a trace of surprise.

Was Xu Nian that poor?

Did he not have any precious materials?

Winning this way, people would say he won without honor!

"If you need it, I still have a piece of Xuan Iron Essence Gold I can give to you," Gu Fei offered.

Xu Nian, however, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need, any Xuan Iron will do; as for whether it’s top-grade, it makes no difference to me."

Hearing this, Gu Fei was momentarily stunned.

Whether it’s top-grade makes no difference?

Even a great Artifact Refiner wouldn’t dare say such a thing. It’s well known that lower quality metal ores contain a lot of impurities, which not only make refining difficult but also greatly reduce the quality of the finished product.

Xu Nian actually said it made no difference.

The people around showed disdain, feeling Xu Nian was boasting.
