Chapter 284 - 283: The Arrogant Wei Dong!
“This Wei Dong, he must have obtained the treasures passed down by their Wei Family through the ages. He has reached an understanding of his technique to the degree of five percent. Just remember, he’s only at the First Tribulation God Spirit Level!”
“It might not just be that, that I reckon. He should at least possess a couple of unique secret arts that can double his combat power…”
“Even then, he might still possess other treasures left by various grades…”
As everyone offered their analysis, they unanimously came to a conclusion that Wei Dong must hold a great deal of treasures in his possession.
“He’s like a walking treasure trove of a royal family. Even though they’ve lost many treasures due to their decline, some exceptionally hidden rare treasures should still be there…”
“Even a camel, as skinny as it might be, is still bigger than a horse. I speculate that the resources Wei Dong has, are at least equivalent to the wealth of a Marquis Clan…”
A Marquis Clan refers to those races that are just below the royal families, such clans usually possess Celestial God Level powerhouses .
And he implied that these clans have the minimum treasure to cultivate a Celestial God Level powerhouse. This amount of resources is terrifying, even more so when possessed by a single person.
In the crowd, many people had green with envy. Looking at Wei Dong, they saw him as a plump bun.
Some had even begun secretly contacting one another, discussing plans of hijacking Wei Dong.
“This guy, having obtained the treasures of an entire clan, rather than hiding and cultivating in seclusion, actually has the audacity to strut around here. Has he no fear that others might find out about his treasures?”
Du Gang was totally perplexed. If he had been the one to obtain the treasures from the Ancient God’s Domain, he would have disappeared to a place where no one could find him, to cultivate to unparalleled power before coming out. He understands the principle that possessing great treasure incurs great danger.
“What could be the case? He’s probably just too young to understand the dangers of the world…”
The Little Hawk King chuckled, “From just this brief period, I’ve already noticed several individuals leaving. I wonder what they are up to…”
At this moment, in the center of the venue, Wei Dong was thriving, looking absolutely arrogant.
Long Aotian was struggling against him, dodging and running for his life.
Seeing this arrogant teenager, Du Gang was plunged into deep confusion.
Is this guy really as weak as he appears to be?
If this was true, he wouldn’t live long!
Just now, he noticed, not only the members of the smaller clans, but even the major clans have shown signs of greed.
At the same time, he noticed that this Wei Dong, like those who became Ancient Demons, had all slaughtered their own clansmen to shatter the curse and survived alone.
In the field, Long Aotian could barely hold on and was directly defeated in Wei Dong’s next attack.
“Wait, one day I will fight you again!”
Long Aotian staggered, looking pale as a sheet. Ashamed, he quickly left after dropping that threat.
This time round, it was quite a blow to him.
In the past, whenever he met other Ninth Tribulation God Spirit level beings, he felt that he was no less inferior to them, given that they were on the same level.
But now, Wei Dong, who was also a First Tribulation being, was obviously much stronger than him.
Granted, he acknowledges that Wei Dong’s resources might be greater than his but that’s not an excuse!
“It turns out that I’m not among the top-tier people anymore…”
Long Aotian sighed.
In the past, he was. Before he reached the God Spirit level, he was the strongest.
But now, he was not anymore!
Ever since he started comparing himself with Du Gang, he knew he was no longer the same.
In the past, his goal was always to be first. However, after losing to Du Gang for the first time, his goal changed!
It changed to defeating Du Gang!
“Am I falling behind Du Gang?”
He asked himself, and the answer was – yes!
Leaving the rest aside, Du Gang was already in his Third Tribulation and he’s still in his first!
It seems I’ve grown complacent…
Long Aotian seemed to have matured at this point, feeling exceptionally emotional.
At the same time, he made a decision.
He used his Message Jade Talisman to contact someone he had not been in touch with for a long time.
“Beep, beep!”
After a while, the message got through.
“Father!”
“So you’re finally willing to contact me?!”
Long Aotian was silent for a moment, without saying much, said directly: “I want to go to the Dragon Tomb!”
“Dragon Tomb, have you finally made your decision?”
Long Aotian recalled his first trip to the Dragon Clan in the South Sea.
As he had expected, he was somewhat humiliated.
With his physique and talent, coupled with his father’s strength, he was qualified enough to enter the Dragon Tomb.
The previous time, the whole purpose was to enter the Dragon Tomb, but he ultimately gave up due to the rumors and gossips, and returned to the Ancient City.
But now, he understood clearly.
Compared to rumors, gossips, and ridicule, the lack of strength is the real agony!
“Huh!”
He took a deep breath and brought his thoughts back to the present, and declared, “I’ve made up my mind, I want to go to the Dragon Tomb to accept the inheritance!”
The Dragon Tomb, this was the greatest secret of the Azure Flood Dragon Clan, and the Secret Realm in which their survival and inheritance relied on!
Buried within were the Dragon ancestors of various generations, it contained endless inheritances. Every single dragon child and grandchild who managed to receive the inheritance from the Dragon Tomb has all achieved great things!
As for the Dragon Clan, they indeed discriminated against branches like theirs. However, for children with talents and a strong bloodline, essential secret realms remained open.
Of course, this is also because his father was a Celestial God. If his background wasn’t strong, he wouldn’t necessarily have the chance to enter the Dragon Tomb.
After a long pause, the other end of the Jade Talisman finally replied, “Little Sky, are you no longer afraid of the ridicule of others?”
Long Aotian’s heart was tranquil, he nodded and said, “Compared to that, I hate being weak even more!”
At this moment, his spirit seemed to have evolved, embracing loftier aspirations.
“Good, in that case, I will guide you through the Dragon Tomb!”
“Where are the people from your Ancient City?”
Wei Dong, who had defeated Long Aotian, was in high spirits, he laughed arrogantly, “I don’t mean to belittle your Ancient City, but I honestly don’t see anyone from the young generation who can fully engage me in a battle!”
“Pfff!”
All the spectators were excited, thinking that Wei Dong was too arrogant. He was openly mocking the Ancient City.
“This is going to get interesting!”
Everyone’s gaze was focused on the remaining few, Little Hawk King and the others. They scanned across the crowd of beautiful men and women, as if to say, who among you will take me on?
At this moment, the one most infuriated was Sun Wufan.
He was hot-headed and emotional. He held the strongest sense of belonging towards the South City. Moreover, the Fighting Saint Clan did not discriminate against them, hence he felt the backlash of group mockery more than anyone else.
“I’ll take you on!”
Sun Wufan was seething with anger, all the hair on his body stood upside down, his eyes were aflame. Without any hesitation, he charged directly at Wei Dong.
“Haha, the diamon dragon couldn’t handle it just now. You, with a face full of fur, you dream of turning the tables?”
In Wei Dong’s eyes, the fame of the Dragon Clan was superior.
Indeed, the fame of the Dragon Clan had been spread for a notable period of time, allegedly dating back to when the continent came into existence, when they had already conquered the four seas.
The Fighting Saint Clan, however, had a different story. Their rise to power was clearly illustrated, with a powerful elderly ancestor at their helm.
On the other hand, the Dragon Clan had no ancestor as influential to reference.
“Kill!”
Overwhelmed in a frenzy, Sun Wufan swung his fists non-stop. In a blink of an eye, he threw dozens of punches one after another, each containing an attack power of two hundred or even three hundred Naer.
“What a tactic!”
“He pays no heed to stiffness in his movements, throwing one punch after another, transforming quantity into quality!”
Typically, people needed a brief pause after throwing each punch and found it hard to release continuously.
However, at this moment, Sun Wufan frequently made use of his divine power technique as if it were regular fist arts.
“Can Wei Dong manage to counter it?”
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene, eager to see how Wei Dong was going to handle this.
All they saw was Wei Dong smirking as he raised his hand and magically produced a sword box.
“All Swords Returning to Master!”
With a roar, countless divine swords flew out of his sword box, transforming into a rainfall of swords, aimed at Sun Wufan.
Each of these flying swords had an attack power of three to four hundred, sufficient to counter Sun Wufan’s numerous punches, with power to spare.
“What is…”
Everyone was stunned.
“It’s not his own ability, it’s the ability of his sword box artifact…”
“His sword box is unusual, it is not merely a simple three to four hundred attack power…”
“This is a kind of artifact that can evolve!”
“Such evolving artifacts are known to be valuable, capable of growing along with their owners…”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
Countless sword arrows were fired crazily at Sun Wufan. The dozens of divine punches he released earlier had already been pierced by these divine swords.
“Da da da!”
Sun Wufan suddenly entered a certain state, his body expanded a little, and then immediately, his fists turned into phantoms, firing wave after wave of divine punches for free.
“Haha!”
Seeing this, Wei Dong burst into laughter, “You’re going berserk? I was just warming up!”
The crowd sneered at him.
That guy used an artifact, a far superior one than what should have been available at this stage, yet he still believed it was due to his own capability.
“If I had such an artifact, I could do the same!”
Someone in the crowd muttered, visibly envious of what Wei Dong had.
Wei Dong glanced at the speaker and said lightly, “An artifact is also part of one’s strength!”
Not only that, after he finished speaking, he pulled out another artifact.
This time, it was a seal.
“You’re going berserk, let’s see how tough you are!”
With that, he cast a spell, throwing the seal in his hand out.
“Whoosh!”
The moment the seal left his hand, it enlarged instantaneously, reaching tens of meters in size before halting.
The enlargement speed may have halted, but the seal didn’t stop advancing towards Sun Wufan, instead, it rolled towards him at an even more ferocious speed.
Upon witnessing this, Little Hawk King’s brow furrowed, disbelief evident in his voice, “How much divine power does he possess? Each of these artifacts consumes a considerable amount of energy, why doesn’t he show a hint of fatigue?”
“More than that!”
Yao Zijie nodded solemnly, “This kind of artifact generally consumes divine thoughts more severely. Typically, what restricts people from using many artifacts is not the divine power, but the divine thoughts…”
Little Hawk King’s eyes widened in shock, “Are you implying that he possesses a treasure that can instantly restore divine power and divine thoughts?”
Yao Zijie nodded, “It should be. Otherwise, there’s no reason why he can release his artifacts in such a manner…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!”
As the seal grew closer, Sun Wufan’s breathing became more erratic. Simultaneously, he started to pound his chest vigorously.
“Thump Thump Thump!!”
In that moment, he appeared like a raging gorilla wildly pounding himself.
However, what shocked everyone was that each pound made his body grow larger.
In the brief moment, Sun Wufan had grown to four meters tall.
“Damn, he can transform!”
“Turned into a gorilla!”
The surrounding spectators were all dumbfounded, finding the sight fascinating.
“Never imagined we’d get to witness such a spectacle today…”
Many felt that this trip was worthwhile. Apart from everything else, at least they would have a good story to tell when they returned to the bars.
“Hmph!”
Wei Dong huffed, pouring a large amount of divine power and divine thoughts into the seal.
As he continued to channel his energy, the seal which was originally tens of meters in size, grew once more, almost reaching a hundred meters.
At that point, the two forces finally collided.
“Boom!”
The first thing to explode was an overwhelming aura. A shockwave then expanded from the center of the explosion in all directions.
Affected by the force of the shockwave, the spectators were inevitably pushed back a few meters.
The center of the field was now a cloud of dust, obscuring view.
“Who won?”-
The crowd wondered for a second until the next moment when the situation in the field was revealed.
It could be seen that Sun Wufan was curled up on the ground like an infant, protected by a transparent gel-like barrier around him.
“Wei Dong won again…”
“And he even brought out Sun Wufan’s life-saving object…”
“Yes, indeed, these things are generally only triggered when a deity is on the verge of death. This implies that if the protection barrier hadn’t appeared, the monkey would have been dead…”
“That seal projection is frightening!”
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the position of Sun Wufan.
It was a member of the Sun Family.
This person was a clear guardian of the doctrine with high power, possessing at least True God level cultivation.
Upon appearing, he did not say much, nor did he look at Wei Dong. He simply carried Sun Wufan and disappeared in a blink.
It was clear that he did not want to get involved in the disputes of the younger generation!
After he disappeared with Sun Wufan, Wei Dong sneered, “Is there not a single worthy opponent among the younger generation of Ancient City?”
“So much for being a specials King clan, nothing extraordinary!”
