Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"No magic duel?" Upon hearing this news, Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord's face immediately turned ugly.

"No, we have to add the magical duel."

"Moreover, I have no problem with the forging of magical artifacts, the design of magical artifacts, or my comprehension."

"You've suggested three, so adding a magic duel and a team battle shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord's eyes darted around, and he quickly asked.

"Fire Spirit! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What's the difference between this so-called magical duel and team combat?"

"Only one can be added!"

"You can discuss what else to add."

"But we don't want anything related to magical combat." Blazing Heavenly Lord looked coldly at her husband and said.

"Then let's add an antique appraisal feature." Suddenly.

A celestial ruler from the lower realm also spoke in the same way.

"After all, our Divine Weapon Pavilion is famous for crafting magical treasures. We can't be so ignorant about magical treasures, can we?"

"Okay, in that case, we can confirm it."

"Five skills: combat, forging, comprehension, design, and treasure appraisal." Hearing this, the Heavenly Lords of the Upper Realm felt there was nothing wrong with it.

What the other party said is indeed correct.

Treasure appraisal.

It is also very important for weapon refiners.

"Alright, now that it's decided, when do you suggest we settle this?" Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord asked immediately after hearing that the decision had been made.

"Ten years from now."

"This batch of disciples has just arrived, shouldn't you give them some pointers?"
"Otherwise, if we lose, they'll say we from the Upper Realm cheated." Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord said with a cold laugh.

"Okay, ten years it is."

"Let's compete again in ten years." Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord nodded in agreement to the other party's terms.

As the conditions were met.

The Heavenly Lords of the Upper Realm, including the Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord, also slowly departed.

Only the four celestial rulers of the lower realm remained.

"No, Fire Spirit, how could you so rashly agree to their duel?"
"You haven't been completely defeated by the people from the upper realm, have you?" As the people from the upper realm left, a celestial lord from the lower realm asked.

"Oh dear, didn't I want the two of them to fight?"

One person at a time, then a team, but unexpectedly the other party disagreed.

well……"

At this point, Huo Lingtianjun gave a wry smile.

"You don't know, if they agree to let the two of us fight, we're guaranteed to win!" Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord said confidently.

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"Judging from what you're saying, what promising talent have you encountered this time?"

Among the celestial rulers of the lower realm, the only female celestial ruler immediately showed a hint of interest.

"Yes, he's more than just a promising talent. If we're only talking about combat skills, I think I'm far inferior to him." Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord sighed as he said this, "Actually, in terms of talent alone, I should also be far inferior to him, but it's a pity..."

"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us what's going on." The female Heavenly Lord rolled her eyes at the Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord's words and urged him to speak.

This is exactly what the Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord is like.

Before speaking, they like to say some random things to pique people's interest, and only after they have piqued their interest will they slowly begin to speak.

"Fire Phoenix, let me tell you, do you believe that a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm could defeat all the examiners of a small world?" Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord turned to the female Heavenly Lord and asked.

"Early stage of golden elixir?"

"Was he ranked first in the assessment?"

"That is indeed quite interesting."

Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord nodded slightly upon hearing Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord's words.

If a cultivator with only early-stage Golden Core cultivation can overwhelm others in late-stage Golden Core, it means that this person has some skill or ability.

"It's not just that we became number one, but that we took a precipitous lead. In fact, even the Heavenly Emperor had to change some of the rules because of this."

Otherwise, this guy would have eliminated all the outstanding people.” As he said this, Huo Lingtianjun’s face showed a hint of disbelief.

"what?"

"so smart?"

"How did you bring such a guy back to the sect without him being taken away by the Human Alliance?" Upon hearing Huo Lingtianjun's words, Huo Fengtianjun's first reaction was disbelief.

After all, this is just too outrageous.

Her second reaction was that such a genius hadn't been taken away by the Human Alliance.

To know.

The Human Alliance has taken on the largest war zone for the Human race.

Therefore, the need for geniuses has always been greater than for people like them.

That is why some of the more talented individuals are usually selected to join the Human Race Alliance.

Especially those geniuses who excel in magical combat.

That is almost certainly monopolized by the Human Race Alliance.

"I said it all."

"Pity."

"Wait until I finish speaking!" Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord sighed and continued.

"This person is good in every way, and is indeed a genius, but he was born in a small world, and a small place in a small world. When he was building his foundation, he thought that the more spells the better, so he directly built his foundation with thirty-six spells."

Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord hesitated for a moment, but still told them about Zhang Yan's situation.

"What did you say?"

"Thirty-six spell foundation-building techniques?"

"He has thirty-six supernatural powers?"

Hear this.

Everyone present was stunned.

Thirty-six spell foundations!
To be honest, these people are all cultivators at the True Self Realm.

But they had never even considered this possibility.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Thirty-six spells, or thirty-six supernatural powers—if that's so many, how did the other party manage to create the golden egg?
"Great!"

"Being able to achieve the Golden Core stage with thirty-six supernatural abilities shows that this guy's comprehension is not weak either!"

Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord suddenly burst into laughter.

"If what you say is true, then wouldn't we be guaranteed to win two rounds of this battle?" Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord asked with a smile.

"You can't say that, after all, nothing is certain." Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord was a rather tactful person and was unwilling to talk about such uncertain things.

"What's the name of that kid you mentioned?" Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord ignored that and continued to ask Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord.

“Zhang Yan comes from the Middle Earth,” Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord said calmly.

"Middle-earth..."

"No wonder such a genius could emerge..."

Upon hearing that Zhang Yan came from the Middle Earth, the Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord spoke up leisurely.

"indeed……"

“If it’s from Middle-earth, then it’s not surprising.”

"After all, that place was once the center of our human race!" The remaining two Heavenly Lords also showed a hint of reminiscence when they heard about the Central Earth.

Middle-earth.

This is a pain in the hearts of all humankind.

In the previous war, the enemy drove them directly to their ancestral homeland, their core territory.

Even Middle-earth was largely destroyed.

Therefore, these high-level cultivators always feel a sense of melancholy when they hear about the Middle Kingdom.

What are your thoughts on this betting contest?

At this moment, Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord asked Fire Phoenix Heavenly Lord and the others.

"Any other opinions? Let's try our best to win, otherwise, it will really be harder and harder for us cultivators from the lower realms to survive in the future." At this point, Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord sighed softly.

Divine Weapon Pavilion.

It was nowhere near as peaceful as it usually appeared.

Actually.

There have always been internal conflicts within the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Meanwhile, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and some of the Supreme Elders were busy forging seventh-tier magic weapons.

There was simply no time to manage the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The main conflict within the Divine Weapon Pavilion is between cultivators from the lower realm and those from the upper realm.

In the eyes of cultivators from the upper realm, cultivators from the lower realm are a bunch of country bumpkins; they come here to seize their resources.

From the perspective of cultivators in the upper realm, this statement does seem to make no mistake.

However, for cultivators from the lower realms...

They finally ascended from the lower realm to the upper realm after much hardship and difficulty.

Moreover, they are always the first to rush forward when faced with danger.

What's wrong with using some resources from the Divine Weapon Pavilion?
When you're ready to go to the battlefield, don't think about them!
Yes.

Cultivators who ascend from the lower realms are generally more powerful in combat than those from the lower realms.

The main reason is that those cultivators from the lower realm who are able to ascend to the upper realm are all daring and courageous.

They even killed countless people.

Cultivators in the upper realm generally have better conditions, so their combat strength is also weaker.

Of course.

There is another reason besides that.

That's due to the method of cultivation.

Cultivators from the lower realms do indeed face a disadvantage when they first arrive in the upper realms.

The main disadvantage lies in the cultivation method.

Despite being at the same cultivation level, their magical power is less than that of cultivators from the upper realm due to the difference in their cultivation methods.

But this is not static.

But it can be changed.

They flew up to the upper realm, wasn't it for the resources and cultivation techniques there?

Therefore, once they switched to cultivating the techniques from the upper realm, this disadvantage no longer existed.

but!

Because they spend years fighting and competing for resources in the lower realm.

They would constantly strive to research how to inflict the most damage with the least amount of spiritual energy, so after they switched cultivation methods...

They can basically crush cultivators from the upper realms.

but……

These advantages will become smaller and smaller as one's cultivation level increases.

However, regarding the Golden Core stage...

These advantages are still very significant.

"As for a duel, with Zhang Yan here, we're sure to win. Hmm, Zhang Yan is the kid I was talking about." Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord chuckled, then continued, "Actually, Zhang Yan's comprehension is quite good. At the very least, the fact that he was able to achieve the Golden Core stage with the thirty-six divine abilities of the Foundation Establishment stage shows that his comprehension is definitely not low."

"You can let him participate in both of them."

"With these two projects as a safety net, I think we only need to work on one more project, and we'll definitely win!"

When Huo Lingtianjun said this, a smug look suddenly appeared on his face.

In retrospect, his decision to take Zhang Yan in was nothing short of a stroke of genius.

"Then all that's left is the forging of the magic weapon, the design of the magic weapon, and the appraisal of the magic weapon."

"I have considerable experience in appraising treasures, so I can instruct a disciple," said the Heavenly Lord named Fire Dragon with a smile.

"Alright, then we'll leave it to you." Fire Spirit and Fire Phoenix both looked at Fire Dragon with a hint of respect in their eyes.

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord is a very senior Heavenly Lord.

When they were still in the Nascent Soul stage, their opponent was already a Heavenly Lord. Now that they have become Heavenly Lords, their opponent has reached the peak of the True Self Realm.

It is possible to become a higher level of existence at any time.

Moreover, and most importantly, the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord provided a great deal of assistance in their growth.

So when they heard what the other party said, they quickly agreed.

"As for the forging and design of magical artifacts, we can only do our best to cultivate them." He then said these two points.

Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord also sighed.

There is no way to do it.

These cultivators from the lower realms lack a solid foundation in this area.

Even if these people know it.

But those disciples who have just ascended to heaven don't know that!

and.

Even they are still far behind the cultivators of the upper realm.

How could their apprentices possibly defeat their opponents?
But the good thing is...

With Zhang Yan mopping the floor, they were confident of winning this bet.

If they lose this bet, they will truly have no chance of ever making a name for themselves again.

"Okay, go find Zhang Yan, and then we'll train the others."

"But don't put all your eggs in one basket," Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord said at this moment.

"Yes, I understand." After saying that, Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord turned and left.

Then I went straight to find Zhang Yan.

……

"You mean..."

"You want me to participate in this competition?"

Zhang Yan stood before the Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord, listening to his slow narration.

"Yes, I hope you can participate in the duel this time." Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord nodded gently.

There are five events in total, and three people can be sent to each event to compete.

"For example, in a magic duel, even though there are three opponents, as long as you keep winning, you can defeat all three of them at once."

Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord smiled and said, "If you were to take action, I'm sure I wouldn't have any problems with the dueling skills and comprehension."

"You really think too highly of me." Zhang Yan quickly waved his hand, then continued, "However, I'm also quite interested in the other three duels. May I participate?"

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then asked Huo Ling Tianjun again.

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"You want to participate in all five projects by yourself?" Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Huo Ling Tianjun was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and asked.

"Yes, I don't know if it will work."

"It's possible, but how are your skills in forging and designing magical artifacts, as well as appraising them?"
After all, this bet is no small matter.

"If you're not confident, it's best not to participate," Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord advised Zhang Yan softly.

"I think……"

“I’m probably better at appraising treasures than I am at fighting,” Zhang Yan said to Huo Ling Tianjun without hesitation after thinking for a moment.

This isn't something he made up.

but true.

After all, his cheat code is the equipment slot!

Other people need authentication to appraise treasures, but he doesn't!

With just a glance, the equipment inventory will clearly display all the information to him.

That's practically cheating!

"So confident?"

"Then take a look at this treasure." Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord directly took something out of his storage bag and placed it in front of Zhang Yan. (End of this chapter)
