Divine King of Honour-Chapter 243 My Skin Itches

Xu Nian waved his hand.

A black flame lotus appeared in his palm.

"This is the flame from Black Flame Lake! My God, what kind of flame secret technique has this guy cultivated, to have the flame of Black Flame Lake?" The crowd on the square was suddenly astonished.

Above in the pavilion, Yann Xi and Yann Hong, the two ladies, also showed a look of surprise.

Especially Yann Xi, when she saw the flame, couldn’t help but think of what happened that night.

"So he appeared there to get this flame," Yann Xi seemed to understand something.

However, it was still the first time she had seen someone able to control an external flame for artifact refining.

Just as everyone was astonished, Xu Nian had already melted the Xuan Iron Ore into liquid iron.

He did not use any artifact furnace, such artifact refining methods simply puzzled and astonished everyone.

Then, Xu Nian directly used his Spiritual Sense to shape the liquid Xuan Iron.

Very soon, a delicate dagger prototype appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"What a delicate prototype of a dagger, the prototype is so exquisite, I wonder what it will look like when fully completed," the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

For a time, everyone’s attention was captured by Xu Nian’s actions in refining the artifact.

Xu Nian’s refining speed was simply too fast; all the movements were done in one go.

Moreover, each process was very well connected, directly following shaping was stabilization of the form.

Others would carve and polish with sharp tools for stabilization, but Xu Nian could complete it with just his Spiritual Sense.

The final hammering stage soon arrived.

Xu Nian took out a meteorite iron hammer and struck the dagger six times directly.

Each hammer strike reverberated across the square, and the dagger became extremely sharp after the hammering.

"My God, such a delicate, such a sharp dagger," someone in the square exclaimed in awe.

The dagger Xu Nian crafted was extremely exquisite in both color and pattern, and especially the sharpness gave the sensation that it could pierce one’s eyes.

"Have you all only noticed these? Have you not discovered that this weapon has reached the Nine-Star Xuan Iron Level?" someone in the crowd spoke out.

"Nine-Star Xuan Iron Level, indeed, although it is Low Grade, it is definitely at the Nine-Star level," the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

To have crafted a Nine-Star Xuan Iron Level weapon meant that Xu Nian had achieved the level of a Nine-Star Junior Artifact Refiner.

My God, a seventeen-year-old Nine-Star Junior Artifact Refiner.

Isn’t that insane?

The disciples who were still in Sister Hong’s residence the day before were even more shocked beyond measure.

What happened to starting artifact refining at the age of one?

What happened to becoming a Great Refiner at the age of forty?

Liars!

All liars!

Mom, he’s lying!

The crowd wailed inwardly—this was just too deflating.

Gu Fei was also utterly shocked.

Although he had already guessed that Xu Nian’s artifact refining level was not merely that of a Basic Three-Star Artifact Refiner, being a Nine-Star Junior Artifact Refiner was insanely terrifying.

Not to mention him, even Sun Feng was gaping, too shocked to speak.

Xu Nian’s artifact refining level was improving by leaps and bounds each day, while others improved by one or two stars in a year, Xu Nian; on the other hand, had improved by five or six stars in just a couple of days.

Above in the pavilion, Yann Xi’s face was full of surprise.

A Nine-Star Junior Artifact Refiner, who was just an Outer Disciple a few days ago—if this wasn’t intentional concealment, the speed of his artifact refining was simply too terrifying.

"The ancient artifact refining technique really is terrifying, I never expected that such an ancient artifact refining technique could improve one’s level so quickly," Yann Hong was also full of astonishment.

Clearly, Xu Nian’s level had far exceeded her expectations.

In truth, she was mistaken—the ancient artifact refining techniques did allow for faster improvement than the ordinary methods, but not to the terrifying extent of Xu Nian’s improvement.

After all, the growth rate of Spiritual Sense Power was limited.

Xu Nian had managed such a rapid advancement solely because of the Spiritual Sense Pill and his breakthroughs in both Cultivation Realm and comprehension.

Actually, just now in his Artifact Refining, Xu Nian had held back. With his current level of Spiritual Sense, he could have struck ten times during the final hammering, but he had only struck six times.

If he had used his full strength, the quality of the Xuan Iron dagger would have definitely risen another level.

The surrounding crowd looked at Xu Nian differently all of a sudden.

This youth was undoubtedly the top talent of the Inner Sect, and it wouldn’t be long before the title of "genius" was dropped, and he would be acknowledged as the undisputed number one within the Inner Sect.

"I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly," Gu Fei said seriously to Xu Nian.

"You did very well. My method of refining artifacts is a bit special, which is why I advanced so quickly. However, your heart in Artifact Refining is truly pure, and in that, I am inferior to you," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

That’s right, he couldn’t possibly focus all his thoughts on Artifact Refining. This time, his joining the Artifact Refining Sect was only aimed at acquiring the Heavenly Gang Pearl.

The path he truly sought to walk was still that of martial Cultivation.

"Hmm!" Gu Fei nodded, his eyes not showing the slightest hint of vexation from losing the contest, but instead, they sparked with a renewed ambition.

"Haha, the top talent of the Inner Sect? What a joke. In this Inner Sect, there is only the first place, no ’top talent.’"

However, just at that moment, a hearty voice came from afar.

Then everyone saw a young man approaching from a distance, followed by two other men.

"It’s Huang Yu and his group, even they’ve come," the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

This Huang Yu was a true leading Junior Artifact Refiner of the Inner Sect. Two years ago, he had already reached the level of a Nine-star Junior Artifact Refiner.

People speculated about his current level; some said he had already reached the Great Refiner level, only he didn’t wish to advance, preferring to shake the world with his prowess all at once.

Xu Nian also looked at the trio approaching, a hint of surprise on his face.

The man before him was actually a Four-star Battle General, and the two men following him were also Three-star Battle Generals.

Such Cultivation levels were indeed rare among the Inner Sect Disciples.

Even elite disciples were merely at the Battle General Level.

"Huang Yu, you’ve been an Inner Sect member for seven years now, and you’ve already reached the level of a Great Refiner. Xu Nian is just a newcomer; do you really intend to challenge him?" Gu Fei scoffed.

He had always found Huang Yu annoying; although Huang Yu had some strength, he was excessively arrogant.

He could have advanced to be an elite disciple but had always clung to the Inner Sect, often bullying other disciples and taking their Cultivation resources, under the guise of his superior Cultivation.

"What’s wrong with a newcomer? Does being new mean they deserve the title of genius? Gu Fei, it’s none of your business," Huang Yu said arrogantly.

After he finished, he turned to look at Xu Nian and said with a smile, "Xu Nian, there is a rule within the Inner Sect, all disciples who join must pay one million Gold Coins."

"Oh? And what if I refuse to pay?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

At his words, Huang Yu also grinned and said, "If you don’t pay, it’s simple. You have two choices: either face me in a Cultivation contest and get severely injured, lying in bed for two months, after which you’ll still have to give up one million Gold Coins, or compete with me in Artifact Refining. The loser pays one million Gold Coins. I see you are a Nine-star Artifact Refiner, so me challenging you wouldn’t be bullying."

As soon as he spoke, the crowd was instantly abuzz.

Wasn’t this intentionally making things difficult?

Even though Xu Nian was a Nine-star Artifact Refiner,

He was only at the beginner’s level, whereas Huang Yu was at least at the peak of a Nine-star Junior Artifact Refiner.

Neither choice was good.

However, the second option might have a slim chance, but the first one was basically a death wish!

"Choose the second option!" people around advised.

Huang Yu smiled smugly, "I also suggest you pick the second option, to avoid bodily suffering." Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

But Xu Nian just laughed and said something that surprised everyone present, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve always had an itch for a beating, so I’ll choose the first option."

The crowd was taken aback.

He must be crazy, Huang Yu was a Four-star Battle General!

Wasn’t this practically asking for a beating?

However, the Yann sisters in the attic had their eyes light up; they had always been curious about Xu Nian’s strength.

Now, this was the perfect opportunity to see what level Xu Nian was truly at.
