Instantly, Duan Lingtian became the absolute center of attention in the restaurant.
As far as everyone was concerned.
An Origin Core martial artist that wasn't even 20 years old. Such natural talent seemed to only be inferior to the Imperial City's Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian, amongst the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
But.
A grade eight weapons craftsman that wasn't even 20 years old was an unprecedented existence!
At least, in the long history of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, such a monstrous existence had never appeared …
Zhu Zhao was dumbstruck as well.
He never imagined that a fellow he casually offended would actually be such an abnormal existence.
Although he was profligate, he wasn't an idiot.
He knew that he'd bitten off more than he could chew this time. Moreover, it was an extremely tough one.
"Who I am isn't important."
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhu Qi with a calm gaze. "Just call out your Chu family's Second Elder … Right, remember to tell him that I've come to look for him this time only for a life wager! I heard that he's once won two life wagers by weapons refinement … I presume he ought to not refuse my challenge. "
Life wager by weapons refinement?
Zhu Qi's pupils constricted and he took a deep breath before looking at Duan Lingtian. "Little Brother, although I don't know who you are, since you're able to break through to the Origin Core Stage at such an age and even become a grade eight weapons craftsman, I presume your background isn't simple."
"But I still have to advise you … A life wager isn't a joke! Our Chu family's Second Elder can be said to be second to none amongst the grade eight weapons craftsmen in the Crimson Sky Kingdom. Out of 10 grade eight spirit weapons that he refines, at least eight of them are top grade spirit weapons that provide an amplification of 19%. "
As he spoke up to here, Zhu Qi looked at Duan Lingtian, wanting to make Duan Lingtian back off in the face of difficulties …
If it was an ordinary grade eight weapons craftsman, he wouldn't waste so much breath. But Duan Lingtian's background was obviously not simple, and he didn't want the Chu family to offend a power that was suspected to be exceedingly powerful for no reason just because of a life wager by weapons refinement.
Presently, even the group of customers in the restaurant felt that Duan Lingtian was indulging in fantasy.
"This young man is too arrogant."
"That's right. Even though he became an Eighth Grade Blacksmith at such a young age, but in terms of experience, how could he compare to the second elder of the Chu family?"
"Exactly! The Second Elder of the Chu family once gambled his life on refining weapons twice and never lost. "
"You're truly young and frivolous. Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers!"
…
None of the guests present were optimistic about Duan Lingtian.
"Little brother, you heard it too. If you really bet your life with our Chu family's Second Elder, you'll definitely lose … So, let's just forget about it. “
Seeing that Duan Lingtian was indifferent, Zhu Qi further persuaded.
Duan Lingtian calmly swept a glance at Zhu Qi, slowly asking, "Where is the largest trading market in your Swallow Mountain county?"
Even though he didn't know why Duan Lingtian asked this, Zhu Qi still said, "It's in the central district of the county."
Duan Lingtian nodded. After putting down the money for the meal, he held Li Fei's hand and glanced at Xiong Quan. "Xiong Quan, let's go to the trading market in the central district."
As he spoke, Duan Lingtian held Li Fei's hand and walked out the door.
Xiong Quan also carried Zhu Zhao and followed.
"Little brother, my son …"
Zhu Qi's expression slightly changed, and he was somewhat anxious.
"As long as I see your Chu family's Second Elder, as long as he agrees to bet his life on refining weapons with me … I'll return your son to you without a single injury."
Duan Lingtian's voice sounded from afar, causing Zhu Qi's expression to darken.
"Second Master, what do we do now?"
A middle-aged man behind Zhu Qi said with slight fear.
"Return to the clan!"
Zhu Qi took a deep breath and left the restaurant.
The group of guests in the restaurant also paid their bills and left, heading towards the trading market in the central district of the city …
They knew that there would be a show to watch very soon!
Zhu Clan Estate, Audience Hall.
From the Zhu Clan's Patriarch, Zhu Rong, all the higher-ups of the Zhu Clan were gathered together.
"Patriarch, why did you call us over in such a hurry? Has something happened?"
A Zhu Clan elder noticed that Zhu Rong's expression was slightly unsightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
The other elders all looked at Zhu Rong as well.
Zhu Rong's face sank, and he glanced at Zhu Qi who stood at the side. "Second Brother, you speak."
For a moment, the gazes of all the Zhu Clan elders descended onto Zhu Qi.
Zhu Qi took a deep breath and spoke in detail of what he saw and heard in the restaurant, then he added in the end. "According to what that young man said, if Second Elder isn't willing to agree to his request, then he won't let my son go."
As soon as Zhu Qi finished speaking, the Audience Hall went deathly silent.
Not even 20 years old …
Origin Core martial artist?
Grade eight weapons craftsman?
"Second Master, do you know his background?"
The Zhu Clan's Grand Elder, an old man over 70 years old, had his gaze descend onto Zhu Qi as he asked in a low voice.
"Grand Elder, it's precisely because I don't know his background that I have some misgivings."
Zhu Qi laughed bitterly.
"Second Elder, what do you think of this matter?"
Patriarch Zhu Rong looked at the Zhu Clan's Second Elder, Zhu Liang, who sat below the Grand Elder and asked.
Zhu Liang had a calm expression as he said indifferently, "He's only a young and ignorant kid that relies on his natural talent to be arrogant … However, since he's able to possess a cultivation at the Origin Core Stage at such an age and even become a grade eight weapons craftsman, his background ought to not be simple."
The Zhu Clan higher-ups present deeply agreed with Zhu Liang's words.
"I think so as well … But he said that if I want to save my son, then there's no other way."
Zhu Qi nodded, and as he finished speaking, he had a bitter smile on his face.
"Hmph! He's only an ignorant kid … Otherwise, Second Elder would have agreed to his life wager agreement. "
A Zhu Clan elder that seemed to have a fiery temper spoke directly.
"Agreeing to his life wager agreement is easy, winning his life wager agreement is easy as well …"
Zhu Liang's muddy eyes flickered with a trace of a bright light, and he stretched out his hand to lightly tap the table. "But we still don't know his background now … If we win against him and he dies, then we'll surely offend the power behind him."
The Zhu Clan higher-ups went silent, as this was precisely the most troublesome matter.
"Second Elder, how about this … You agree to his life wager agreement, and at most when you win, display your bearing and allow him to not have to carry out the wager agreement. In this way, not only can you save Zhu Zhao, you can also avoid offending him. "
Zhu Rong pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"This method is feasible!"
"I think it's possible as well!"
…
Instantly, the group of Zhu Clan elders agreed.
The gazes of everyone descended onto the Second Elder, Zhu Liang.
Zhu Liang's eyes flashed as he nodded. "That's good as well … I'll win against him and not allow him to carry out the wager agreement, and I'll be able to obtain a good reputation as well."
Swallow Mountain County's County City. Today was undoubtedly a bustling day.
Today, a mysterious young man below the age of 20 had arrived at the County City.
Supposedly, this young man had just arrived at the County City when he beat up the Chu family's Third Young Master, Zhu Zhao.
Not only that.
When the Chu family's Second Master brought people over to look for trouble, the mysterious young man even displayed his cultivation and natural talent as a weapons craftsman …
An Origin Core martial artist below the age of 20, a Grade Eight Weapons Craftsman!
After that, this young man even announced that he wanted to carry out a life wager with the Chu family's Second Elder, Zhu Liang, using weapons craftsmanship as a wager!
Moreover, he chose to carry out this life wager at the most bustling trade market at the center of the city.
For a time, the entire County City was stirred.
The trade market at the center of the city was already filled with people, and now it was even more difficult to move a single step …
County Governor's Estate.
A dignified middle aged man sat within the pergola in the front courtyard as he leisurely savored fragrant tea.
Suddenly.
"County Governor, something big has happened."
A servant ran before the dignified middle aged man in panic.
"What's so flustered?"
The dignified middle aged man was precisely the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor, Pei Yuan, and his brows raised as he asked in a low voice.
"County Governor, a young man came to our County City and wants to carry out a life wager with the Chu family's Second Elder …"
Under the servant's detailed narration, Pei Yuan knew the sequence of events, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
"An Origin Core martial artist below the age of 20? Grade Eight Weapons Craftsman? "
Pei Yuan abruptly stood up, and his eyes lit up. "Interesting, interesting … Come, follow me to join in the fun."
Alchemist Guild.
Ever since he became a Grade Seven Alchemist three years ago and left Aurora City, Su Mo returned to the County City's Alchemist Guild and even became the Vice Guild Master of the Alchemist Guild.
"What? An Origin Core martial artist below the age of 20? Grade Eight Weapons Craftsman? "
Su Mo was slightly surprised when he heard the rumors that gave rise to much discussion outside.
"Could it be that there's an existence within the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom that can compare to that little freak?"
Su Mo muttered to himself.
He would never forget that violet-clothed youth from all those years ago.
That year, it was precisely because of that youth that he was able to smoothly become a Grade Seven Alchemist and leave the godforsaken Aurora City to return to the bustling County City …
Later on, even though he was in the County City, he heard many rumors about that youth from all those years ago.
Paladin Academy's number one genius.
Duan Clan's direct descendant disciple.
Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander.
Now, that little fellow from all those years ago had already been publicly acknowledged as the peerless genius with the strongest natural talent in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
"I'll go join in the fun as well … I want to see exactly who's so monstrous that he's almost comparable to that little fellow, Duan Lingtian."
The corners of Su Mo's mouth held a smile as he directly left the Alchemist Guild.
The trade market at the center of the city.
A luxurious building with a special symbol hanging outside.
The symbol of the Violet Tulip Trading Company.
At the highest point of the building was a pavilion.
Presently, a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman was sitting in the pavilion as she gazed from afar at an empty area of the trade market …
A violet-clothed youth and a beautiful woman stood there.
Behind the two of them was a middle-aged man who carried a young man with a pale complexion as if he was catching a chick.
"I never imagined that he would cause such a huge commotion as soon as he arrived."
