Looking at the silver belt in Lou Mu Yanâs hands, the eyes of the pupils present all grew hot, as if wolves who had been hungry for a long time seeing delicious, juicy meat.
The chief referee stood up and announced: âThe Eight Extremes Sect Lou Mu Yan refined a High-Quality Saint Treasure, winning the championship!â
âA High-Quality Saint Treasure, Lou Mu Yan actually refined a High-Quality Saint Treasure, Heavens!â A pupil roared excitedly, staring at the silver belt.
âOnly a Grade 6 Smith can refine a High-Quality Saint Treasure. Lou Mu Yan, this Grade 5 Smith could actually refine it, my eyes arenât blurry are they.â A pupil rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief.
Another pupil pinched his own thigh, âOw! It hurts! It seems to be true.â
âDid Lou Mu Yan hide her grade as a Smith! Even the Elders of our Smithing School canât refine a High-Quality Saint Treasure, how did she refine it?â A pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace muttered.
âShe shouldnât have hidden her smithing level. It was just because she was too invested earlier that she entered an Empty State in smithing, so she attracted the Tribulation Cloudâs essence to temper the Middle-Quality Saint Treasure in the smithing cauldron and upgraded it to High-Quality.â An Advanced-Level Grade 4 Smith sighed.
âSo thatâs how it is, I didnât expect Lou Mu Yan to really win five championships!â
ââŚâ
The sighs of mixed emotions below were like a tide that couldnât be subdued for a long time. Mainly because this was simply too shocking!
A High-Quality Saint Treasure was something that even many Elders and Headmasters present wanted, not to mention the pupils presentâespecially what Lou Mu Yan refined was a defence-type Saint Treasure.
On Tianâling Continent, it was difficult to find a Divine Tool even in the hands of Sword Deities, unless it were the people whose strength had reached the peak of the Continent, so Peak-Quality Saint Treasures had become Sword Deity powerhouseâs Magic Tools.
And the Peak-Quality Saint Treasures needed to be refined by Grade 7 Smiths, so they were extremely rare.
Therefore, most of the Sword Saint level powerhouses on the Continent used Middle-Quality and High-Quality Saint Treasures refined by Grade 6 Smiths. This was also why they were all staring so intently at the belt in Lou Mu Yanâs hands.
On the superiorâs seats.
âGenius! An Advanced-Level Grade 5 Smith performed exceedingly and refined a High-Quality Saint Treasure. Such a thing only happened to the Senior Pavilion Leader of the Smithing Pavilion before.â One of the Headmasters of the Sword Sect was filled with admiration and said.
The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect also couldnât resist praising, âNot only is Lou Mu Yanâs alchemy talent extraordinary, but her smithing skills are also so outstanding!â
âWith her talent for specialisations, among the pupils of the Six Sects, apart from Heavenly Secret Palaceâs Inner Sectâs number one Chi Xiu, probably no one can compare.â The other Headmaster of the Sword Sect added.
The Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace restrained the darkness in his eyes and smiled to congratulate Headmaster Feng, âHeadmaster Feng, Headmaster Huo, your Eight Extremes Sect has produced a peerless genius this time!â
âHaha, Lou girl is still young, and canât compare to Chi Xiu from your noble Sect, please donât overwhelm us.â The joy on Headmaster Fengâs face couldnât be concealed, but he said maddeningly modest words.
The Headmasters of the several Sects really wanted to whip this old thing to death. Saying that she was still young, wasnât this boasting?
In particular, the Headmasters of the Vast Mountain Sect and the Spirit Tamers Sect felt sour and angry. There was still a Chi Xiu in the Heavenly Secret Palace to support their faces, while they had completely been defeated by the Eight Extremes Sect, the âten-thousand-year number 1â in all five specialisations. This was so embarrassing even their maternal grandmotherâs face was lost1.
The leading Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect and Headmaster of the Spirit Tamers Sect both saw killing intent in each otherâs eyes.
They all knew very well that a versatile genius like Lou Mu Yan couldnât be kept.
Their two Sects were relatively close, so the relationship with the Eight Extremes Sect wasnât that goodâit was just that the Spirit Tamers Sect wasnât like the Vast Mountain Sect where their relationship with the Eight Extremes Sect had come to a point where it was like water and fire.
But neither of the two Sects wanted the âten-thousand-year number 1â Sect to turn over. After all, the Eight Extremes Sect being the âten-thousand-year number oneâ for that many sessions of the Grand Competition of the Six Sects also had their involvement in it.
It was just that this time, it was beyond everyoneâs expectations. Lou Mu Yan, that little person who had never been heard of before, rose up inexplicably and they were all caught off guard.
âThe level of that Spirit Flame Lou Mu Yan subdued isnât low and it also helps to improve the grade of pills and Magic Tools.â The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect praised, but he was actually pulling hatred for Lou Mu Yan.
Many powerhouses yearned for a kind of Spirit Flame that they could subdue, but either they couldnât find it, or they couldnât subdue it. The Spirit Flame on Lou Mu Yan was enough for many people to covet.
Therefore, while she was in the limelight among the Six Sects, it also represented danger.
For example, when Chi Xiu won the six competitions last session, the Spirit Flame he exposed also caused many powerhouses to covet it, and there was even a wandering cultivator Sword Saint who tried to snatch the Spirit Flame from him. It was said that the Grand Ancestor of the Heavenly Secret Palace came forward to resolve that person.
Huo Ling Long narrowed her almond-shaped eyes with a layer of coldness in them, âLou Mu Yan is the direct disciple of our Eight Extremes Sectâs Grand Ancestor. Whoever dares try to take her Spirit Flame, our Sect will definitely destroy their entire clan.â
These words were very serious, but the Headmasters present trembled and there were also some people who restrained their thoughts.
Huo Ling Long never spoke big words. Behind her stood a Middle-Phase Sword Saint blood-related paternal grandmother. With the addition of the Grand Ancestor of the Eight Extremes Sect, it was indeed not difficult to destroy someoneâs entire clan.
Most importantly, this woman was cold-hearted and cold-blooded, black-hearted and black-bellied, but once she approved of someone, then it was absolute protectiveness.
Judging from the defensiveness Huo Ling Long had towards Lou Mu Yan since the beginning of the Grand Competition, it was obvious that she was serious about Lou Mu Yan and she was included in the scope of her protection.
The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect smiled shyly: âLou Mu Yan is a genius pupil of the Eight Extremes Sect, whoâd target her.â
But inside, he was suffocating. Still, he didnât completely stop his plan to have people go to the black market to release news after he returned.
Such a genius like Lou Mu Yan staying in the Eight Extremes Sect would definitely be a disaster for the Vast Mountain Sect in the future.
He suddenly had a plan. With Lou Mu Yanâs achievements in this Grand Competition, she would definitely have a place to go to the Land of Inheritance. When the time came, it wouldnât be bad get someone to find a chance to kill her in it. That was a nice idea.
The sound of discussions and praises on the competition ground couldnât be subdued for a long time and there were several sharp and gloomy gazes that locked onto Lou Mu Yanâs aura.
Lou Mu Yan had already enveloped the entire competition arena with her Mental Energy and left the competition arena with those few people noted down.
Were they the hidden Earth Rank assassins from the Hidden City hidden in the Six Sects?
Her lips rose into a seemingly invisible arcâshe sure was looking forward to it!
She had spent so many Spiritual Stones during the Taming Competition to arrange arrays, now what do you know, she had just become poor when some people already took the initiative to send money to her door.
The leader of the Hidden City sure was a good person, knowing that she lacked Spiritual Stones the most, so they sent people to âdeliverâ some!
Bai Fei Yao, who was cultivating in the secret area, received a voice transmission. When she heard that Lou Mu Yan had won the Smithing Competition championship, the killing intent in her eyes surged.
She stretched out her hand and in her palm was a dark green spar the size of a grain of rice that was condensed with a hundred types of extreme poisons.
She took in a deep breath, placed her hands together and continued to refine it with her Spirit Flame.
Tomorrow was her chance to completely knock Lou Mu Yan into the dust. She must not lose!
