Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Protected by the nation's destiny..."

"This is going to be difficult." Liu Yiyi looked at the terrifying totem behind Dongfang Weibai, and a trace of melancholy appeared on her fair face.

Her best skill was kowtowing to people.

Since kowtowing won't work now.

that……

We had no choice but to surrender.

She's not a fool.

She had tried her best, but there was nothing she could do; she was truly powerless.

Then we have no choice but to admit defeat.

Moreover.

After her, it was Zhang Yan!
She had a deep understanding of Zhang Yan's abilities.

Although she had never seen Zhang Yan make a move, she could sense his unfathomable strength.

but……

She gave Dongfang Weibai a deep look.

In her perception, this guy was also extremely terrifying.

Unfortunately, her perception had its limits, and she couldn't tell which of the two was more powerful.

In her perception, both of these people were people who could kill her with a flick of their wrist.

There isn't much difference.

"Be careful."

"I think he's very strong," Liu Yiyi said softly as she walked down from the stage and passed by Zhang Yan.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Zhang Yan nodded.

This seventh prince, Dongfang Weibai, is definitely powerful. To put it bluntly, he is the reliance of cultivators from the upper realm.

If he fails.

Therefore, in this battle of wits, the last contestant doesn't need to go on stage.

"I've heard you're best at magical combat. Let me see what you've got today." As Zhang Yan stepped onto the arena, Dongfang Weibai, sword in hand, coldly addressed him.

"No, I need to correct you. Actually, I'm not good at magical combat." Zhang Yan shook his head slightly upon hearing the other party's words.

"how?"

"Knowing they were going to lose, they started trying to salvage the situation beforehand?"

"This is way too late!"

Dongfang Weibai sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

“No, you didn’t understand what I meant.” Zhang Yan shook his head first, then continued, “What I mean is, my greatest strength is not magical combat, but treasure appraisal and comprehension. However, although magical combat is not my greatest strength, it is still no problem to deal with you.”

"you!"

"What a sharp-tongued kid!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Dongfang Weibai's face hardened, and he took the initiative to attack.

A large, golden seal appeared in the air and slammed down towards Zhang Yan.

This large seal looks ordinary, but it contains profound secrets. It is imbued with the national fortune of the Feathered Dynasty, and when it encounters other people's magical treasures or spells, it will first reduce their power by three-tenths.

With the help of this great seal.

In his previous battles, he was invincible.

"It's nothing but a trivial skill!"

Seeing the unstoppable golden seal, Zhang Yan remained calm and tossed it into the air. Instantly, a large net appeared in the sky, capturing the entire golden seal.

It was his supernatural power.

Dragnet!

"Chi~"

The golden seal fell into the net, making a hissing sound.

It looked as if the entire net was about to be melted down.

But unfortunately.

Zhang Yan's inescapable net was modified later.

Not only were the silk sacs of the cave spider added, but also a considerable amount of spiritual materials were subsequently incorporated.

Although it was no match for the opponent's golden seal.

However, Zhang Yan's magical powers were far superior.

In the end, he actually managed to put the golden seal away by relying on his magic power.

"This thing is not bad." Zhang Yan held the other party's golden seal and poured his powerful magic into it, trying to erase the other party's magic imprint.

Unfortunately, he suddenly noticed that the golden seal read "Seal of the Seventh Prince of the Feathered Dynasty".

Therefore, he thought about it.

They still did not continue refining the golden seal.

He can disregard the Seventh Prince's feelings.

However, there was no need to offend the Feathered Dynasty.

Don't assume that the Seventh Prince represents the Yuhua Dynasty.

Actually...

The Seventh Prince can only represent a portion of the Yuhua Dynasty.

just like……

Different departments within the same company are like two rival companies...

This is the case for most companies.

Moreover, what about a unified dynasty like this?

There are too many intricacies and hidden agendas inside.

but!

If he really gave the Seventh Prince's golden seal to Lotus.

That's different.

This is tantamount to slapping the face of the entire Feathered Dynasty.

At that time, anyone from the Feathered Dynasty will have to respond to Zhang Yan.

……

However, despite this.

Zhang Yan did not return the gold seal to the other party.

Instead, they simply put it away.

Although he didn't want to offend the other party, since this was his spoils of war, then...

If you want it back, you'll have to pay the price.

"you!"

He saw that Zhang Yan had actually taken away his golden seal.

Dongfang Weibai's face flushed red and then turned pale.

"Damn it!"

"You little thief, give me back my golden seal."

"What a joke! You think you can just give me my spoils like that?"

"If you obediently admit defeat, I will return the golden seal to you."

Zhang Yan didn't care about the other party's trash talk.

Who wouldn’t!

"In that case..."

"Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Dongfang Weibai's expression immediately turned serious.

"I didn't want to use this tactic, but since you've forced me, then neither of us will have an easy time!"

He roared as he spoke, and then a piece of sky-blue jade appeared at his waist.

"With my blood, activate!"

As Dongfang Weibai spat a mouthful of blood onto the jade pendant.

The jade pendant suddenly emitted a scarlet light, followed by a terrifying aura emanating from it.

"You're going to die!"

"Azure Dragon Pendant!"

As Dongfang Weibai spoke.

A giant azure dragon emerged from the azure dragon pendant.

An atmosphere of terror permeated the entire venue.

"This……"

"This is a fourth-tier magic weapon!"

"And it's a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon!"

"Isn't this a competition for Golden Core cultivators?!"

"Why are they able to use fourth-tier magic weapons?!"

Upon seeing this, everyone spoke up.

A look of confusion crossed his face.

"No way, damn it, a Golden Core cultivator has a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, and I'm in the late Nascent Soul stage, yet I'm only using a low-grade fourth-tier magic weapon?"

"It's infuriating to compare yourself to others!"

Some people, upon seeing the magical artifact used by Dongfang Weibai, immediately uttered envious and sour remarks.

But there is no way.

The gap between people can sometimes be bigger than that between dogs.

"But what I really want to know is why he was able to activate this fourth-tier magic weapon?"

"Logically speaking, his magical power is simply insufficient!"

"If you actually use it, it will probably drain all the magic power from his body!" At this moment, someone showed a puzzled look.

They don't know.

Why can Dongfang Weibai use a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon?

This is not metaphysical at all!
"It's easy!"

"This is a blood-refined magic weapon!"

Immediately, someone nearby spoke up to explain, "You're still from our Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

"No wonder he's in the late Nascent Soul stage and only using a low-grade fourth-tier magic weapon!"

"Don't ever say you're from our Divine Weapon Pavilion again, it's a disgrace!" The man who was being scolded turned pale and then red, but still clasped his hands and said, "Brother Dao, could you please explain?"

"This is a blood-refined magic weapon!"

"By linking blood essence with magical artifacts, low-level cultivators can wield high-level magical artifacts!"

"However, this kind of magic weapon has a major drawback: not only can it not unleash its original power, but it also requires life essence every time it is activated!"

"To unleash greater power, we need more essence blood!"

"Moreover, essence blood is the foundation of a cultivator. If there is little, it is not a problem. But if a lot is needed, the person may be ruined."

After speaking, the person looked at Dongfang Weibai on the arena with a complicated expression.

For a bet.

They actually used a fourth-tier blood-refined magic weapon.

Moreover, the person who used this magic weapon was the seventh prince of the Yuhua Dynasty.

For an instant.

He sensed the presence of a conspiracy.

This bet is probably more than just a conflict on the surface.

There may be something even more complicated behind this!

"But what does this have to do with me..." He smiled nonchalantly.

He's just a nobody.

The major events in the sect were none of his concern.

……

"A fourth-tier magic weapon..."

Zhang Yan remained calm upon seeing that the other party had sent a fourth-tier magic weapon.

Then I directly used the Five Elements Heavenly Gang Sword Formation!
Three hundred and sixty flying swords flew out simultaneously, forming a sword formation in the air and sweeping across the Azure Dragon.

"You think you can contend with my fourth-grade high-level magic weapon with these things?"

Seeing Zhang Yan's flying swords.

The seventh prince wore a mocking expression.

A mere 360 ​​flying swords? You don't really think they can defeat a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon, do you?

Even if it's a blood-refined magic weapon!
Even if this magical artifact cannot unleash its full potential!
This is definitely not something a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon can pull off.

however……

Before Dongfang Weibai could finish his sarcastic remarks, he saw Zhang Yan's sword formation actually begin to clash with his Azure Dragon formation.

Neither side gave in.

No one can do anything to anyone else.

"How can it be!"

See this scene.

Dongfang Weibai couldn't help but rub his eyes.

They looked at the sky in disbelief!

That's a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon!

Although its power, activated by his essence and blood, cannot compare to that of a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

But Yue is definitely far beyond the Golden Core stage.

But even so.

Such an attack was actually blocked by Zhang Yan.

The most ironic thing is that the magic weapon they used was just an ordinary mid-grade third-tier magic weapon!

Doesn't this just illustrate the point?

Is his magical power truly inferior to others?
And it's still far from good enough!
Thinking of this, his face immediately turned bruised and purple.

"Although you are very capable, but..."

"Compared to a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon, it's still far inferior!"

As he spoke, he slammed his fist into his chest, and then spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

The blood was completely absorbed by the Azure Dragon in the sky.

The entire blue dragon turned a pale gold color.

It looked even more mystical, and at the same time, the aura emanating from the golden dragon intensified once more.

It was already approaching the strength of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Die!"

Dongfang Weibai let out a cold roar.

At this moment, due to the continuous loss of his essence and blood, his face had turned deathly pale, and he looked like a corpse.

"Boom~"

As his voice fell.

Jinlong shattered Zhang Yan's sword formation in one gulp.

"You see? In the face of absolute power, everything is illusory!"

Upon seeing how powerful the golden dragon was, Dongfang Weibai's face immediately lit up with joy.

"kill him!"

"Ang~"

The golden dragon raised its head and let out a roar. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying beam of light shot towards Zhang Yan.

"Ugh."

"I didn't intend to be so high-profile." At this moment.

Zhang Yan looked at the trembling flying sword in his hand.

These flying swords were all painstakingly crafted and carefully nurtured by him, and now they are gradually developing a trace of sentience.

The sword was also damaged after being knocked down by the golden dragon.

However, these flying swords still wanted to go out and continue fighting.

However, Zhang Yan couldn't bear to part with it...

He will need to use these flying swords in the future.

It can't be damaged here.

Seeing the beam of light constantly approaching him, Zhang Yan gathered all his magical power and then gently struck out with his palm.

His movements were very gentle.

It was as if no effort was being used at all.

But as he moved, Dongfang Weibai felt as if the world had stopped.

Then, to his horrified surprise, a huge handprint appeared in front of Zhang Yan.

The handprint was as big as a small mountain.

Five-colored energy continuously circles above.

"Great Five Elements Annihilation Palm Print!"

Now that he had made his move, Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't give the other party another chance.

He immediately used his strongest skill to attack the golden dragon.

Where the palm print passed.

Everything was annihilated!
Regardless of the beam of light spewed out by the golden dragon.

Or the rest of the magic.

They were all annihilated into the most basic spiritual energy.

"This……"

"This……"

"This is impossible!"

Before dawn, disbelief erupted, followed by a hysterical scream.

This is comparable to an attack from the early stages of a Nascent Soul stage!
Zhang Yan actually neutralized it with a simple gesture?
Doesn't this mean that Zhang Yan's strength is already comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
But what happened next was even more unbelievable to him.

The handprint that had dealt with the pillar of light did not dissipate; instead, it grasped the golden dragon.

No matter how much the golden dragon struggled within the five-colored palms, it was unable to break free.

"Seventh Prince, shall we admit defeat?" Zhang Yan grabbed the golden dragon and asked the Seventh Prince with a smile.

"you……"

"I……"

"I surrender……"

The seventh prince's face showed a look of resentment.

But there is nothing we can do.

Zhang Yan's strength has exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that he would win easily because he had used the Blood Refining Magic Treasure!

But I didn't expect it.

Zhang Yan actually used a fourth-order spell!

Fourth-tier spells and fourth-tier magic weapons sound like they're on the same level.

But in reality, they are completely different.

Don’t say anything else.

Zhang Yan's magic truly requires personal comprehension to learn.

Moreover, when activated, it is used to activate one's own magical power.

It can be said that Zhang Yan relied on his true strength.

And what about before dawn?

They're relying on nothing but heretical methods!
However, this is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, he hasn't won yet despite using unorthodox methods.

This is more embarrassing.

"good."

now.

On the control panel, the seven figures were very satisfied with Zhang Yan's performance.

Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord, in particular, nodded repeatedly.

He originally thought that Zhang Yan would have to rely on the Nine Dragons Fire Cover he had given him, but he never expected this.

Zhang Yan actually won the competition based on his own strength.

"Alright, the cultivator from the lower realm wins the first round. Now for the second round!" (End of Chapter)
