Chapter 304 - Who Said That There Is No One From Ethereal Peak That Can Refine Weapons?
The spectator area on both sides of the golden carpet were already starting to fill with Golden Cores. After giving a couple more reminders, Xuan Yi and Liu Hui crossed the sunken area and headed for the spectator area as well.
When they arrived, Xuan Yi and Liu Hui handed their respective sect badges to the bearded man and Bai Yuhan.
This was not Xuan Yi’s first sect competition and he already knew the three commanders. However, he still had to go through a symbolic check.
The bearded man smiled and asked, “Fellow Daoist Wen Xuan didn’t come this time round?”
When he heard that, Xuan Yi’s expression dimmed as he shook his head gently.
There was sadness and anger in Liu Hui’s eyes as well.
The bearded man pondered for a moment and vaguely guessed what happened.
It was said that Ethereal Peak suffered heavy casualties for the battle at Dongling Valley and several Golden Cores had perished as well – only one of them managed to survive.
Xue Yi declared loudly, “I’m not afraid of letting you guys know either that I’m a Weapon Refinement Master and I’m here for the weapon refinement segment!”
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
The maroon-robed man dragged his voice and let out an enlightened expression before giving a fake smirk. “So, you’re a Weapon Refinement Master. A Weapon Refinement Master of Ethereal Peak to boot. I’ve been impolite, please excuse me.”
Everyone could hear the mocking tone of the maroon-robed man.
He continued, “What a coincidence. I’m Tao Feng, also a Weapon Refinement Master.”
“So, he’s Tao Feng!”
“Who is Tao Feng?”
“The number one Weapon Refinement Master of True Fire Sect! Even though he’s only 30 years old, he has already managed to refine a superior-grade spirit weapon successfully and is an Advanced Weapon Refinement Master!”
“The rumors out there are saying that Fellow Daoist Tao Feng is the number one Weapon Refinement Master of the younger generation!”
Tao Feng could feel the envious gazes of the surrounding cultivators as he listened on to the discussions. Brimming with pride, he raised his chin slightly and looked at Xue Yi in a smug, taunting manner.
“How do I address you, fellow Daoist? I wonder what grade of spirit weapon you’re able to refine?”
Xue Yi blushed and did not say anything.
With his capabilities, he could only refine inferior-grade spirit weapons. Since he could not even refine middle-grade spirit weapons, he was naturally inferior and could not compare to Tao Feng who was before him.
Tao Feng raised his brow and scoffed. “Oh, so you’re a nobody.”
“You…!” Xue Yi glared at him.
“What’s there to be cocky about?”
Little fatty pouted. “Mr. Mo, the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou is a hundred, thousands times better than you! If you’ve really got what it takes, go compete with him!”
Tao Feng declared proudly, “Rumor has it that Mr. Mo is a Golden Core so he must have lived for a few hundreds of years. I dare to say that when he was at my age, Mr. Mo was definitely not at my level!”
None of the cultivators present had the right to refute.
“Additionally…”
Tao Feng looked at Xue Yi and scoffed coldly. “Are you even qualified to call yourself a Weapon Refinement Master? Let me advise you, from now on, don’t make a fool of yourself by coming forth like this anymore. Scram home and stay right there!”
“F*ck…!” Little fatty’s blood surged and he was about to lash out.
“Junior brother!”
At the side, Ji Chengtian frowned and held back the enraged little fatty before shaking his head. “Forget it, let’s not argue with them. Let’s… sigh.”
When they heard Ji Chengtian’s sigh, everyone from Ethereal Peak went silent as a sense of helplessness surged through them.
No matter what, the current Ethereal Peak was indeed inferior to others.
When he saw that, Tao Feng was even more smug as he burst out laughing. “There’s no one in Ethereal Peak that can refine weapons such that any Tom, Dick and Harry could call themselves Weapon Refinement Masters. What a joke! Hahaha!”
“Who said that there is no one from Ethereal Peak that can refine weapons?”
Right then, another voice rang out from the crowd, even revealing a trace of killing intent!
