"It's really rare for a high school student to have this kind of talent for refining! Deep Sea University must be determined to get this kind of talent, right? "
"Why did he assemble three completely different magical equipment? It must be known that the way to use the Chainsword, Thunderblade, and Burning Sky Battleaxe are completely different. Could it be that he can freely use all three magical equipment? That's simply a monster! "
"Even if he can freely use all three of them, there's no need for that. All three magical equipment are heavy weapons. If he carries all of them on his body, his speed will be greatly reduced. In a jungle battle, there's no advantage at all. On the contrary, it's a burden."
Amidst the discussions of the numerous cultivators, the second contestant arrived at the supply point.
This was a very tall youth with an extremely arrogant temperament. His chin was covered in stubble, appearing very mature.
He saw Li Yao sitting on the side resting and was clearly stunned for a moment.
However, when he discovered that there were actually three magical equipment on the ground, he was immediately overjoyed. He beamed with joy as he walked forward and grabbed the Burning Sky Battleaxe in his hand. He vigorously played with it a couple of times as he excitedly roared again and again.
"My luck is pretty good. I didn't expect that there would actually be a fully assembled magical equipment in the supply point. With this Burning Sky Battleaxe, I can kill a hundred Demon Beasts in a day!"
The arrogant youth carried the battleaxe and was about to leave when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Li Yao lazily called out to him, "Hey, student, I just finished assembling this battleaxe. It's selling for 200 points. Since you're the first customer, I'll give you a 5% discount. I'll give you 190 points."
The arrogant youth was stunned and then laughed, "So it was this student who refined it. Then I really have to thank you. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time!"
He had no intention of making a deal. Carrying the battleaxe, he turned around and left.
Li Yao had long anticipated this. His expression didn't change as he called out, "Student, wait a moment. I'll treat you to a show!"
As he spoke, he gently extended his arm and ferociously threw the first assembled crystal bomb into the distant jungle.
"Boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the jungle. A cloud of smoke slowly rose. The smoke was mixed with a sinister tongue of flame, and rolling heat waves hit the face.
The arrogant youth was startled by the loud noise. His expression changed as he turned around and stared at Li Yao. "What do you mean?"
Li Yao was holding a huge bomb made of more than twenty crystal cells connected together. He laughed and said,
"Nothing. Just now, it was just the might of a crystal cell's explosion. You saw it — I still have more than twenty crystal cells in my hands. If you don't want to trade and want to take my Burning Sky Battle Axe for free, I can only activate the glyph array and detonate the crystal cells, blowing both of us out of the competition!"
"You!"
The arrogant youth didn't expect that Li Yao would do such a thing. He was dumbstruck.
Li Yao smiled faintly and said, "It's fine if you don't want to buy it. There are still many ordinary swords there. You can take them all, but please put down my Burning Sky Battle Axe."
The arrogant young man narrowed his eyes and glanced at the ordinary swords scattered on the ground. His eyes immediately revealed a look of contempt.
If he hadn't tried out the Burning Sky Battle Axe, using ordinary swords to kill Demon Beasts wasn't impossible.
However, he had already tried out the Burning Sky Battle Axe, and it was indeed first-rate. If he were to go back and choose ordinary swords, he would be somewhat unwilling!
Li Yao continued:
"Killing a low-level Demon Beast will give you around a dozen points. You spent less than two hundred points to buy this Burning Sky Battle Axe, so your efficiency in killing Demon Beasts will greatly increase. In three days, how many Demon Beasts will you be able to kill? I'm afraid you won't even need half a day to earn it back! "
The arrogant youth's face was cloudy and uncertain. He was very hesitant.
After all, the competition had just begun. Everyone didn't have many points. One hundred and ninety points was practically all he had.
If he were to trade it, his ranking would be at the bottom.
However, what this guy said wasn't wrong. With this Burning Sky Battle Axe, his efficiency in killing Demon Beasts would greatly increase. The speed at which he earned points would be at least two times faster than now!
Li Yao's face was full of smiles, just like a profiteer who was thinking for his customers:
"Student, think clearly. If you don't buy this Burning Sky Battle Axe, when the time comes and I sell it to someone else, that person's attack power will greatly surpass yours. Maybe their points will be ranked in front of yours. With this in and out, your losses won't be just a little bit."
The arrogant youth coldly snorted and said:
"What you said is true, but you're not the only one who knows how to assemble artifacts! I've also taken related courses in school. If I spend a bit more time, I can also assemble a Burning Sky Battle Axe … You, you actually mixed all the artifacts together and made such a mess? You're too shameless, student! "
Li Yao shrugged and said indifferently: "Be straightforward. Do you want to trade or not? If you don't, please put down the battle axe. Thank you."
"I don't believe you will detonate it!" The arrogant youth firmly stared into Li Yao's eyes and shouted while clenching his teeth.
"Okay, I'll count to three. Let's all withdraw from the competition together. In any case, my strength is so weak. I only came here to see the world. I didn't plan on entering the finals. Three … Two …"
Li Yao laughed strangely, not caring in the slightest.
He hadn't even counted to "one" when the arrogant youth completely collapsed. He shouted loudly as if he had gone mad: "Stop, stop! I'll trade, I'll buy this Burning Sky Battle Axe! "
The two's Puji Critters lightly bumped into each other in midair. With a "ding" sound, the arrogant youth's 190 points, which he had painstakingly accumulated from killing Demon Beasts, were all transferred to Li Yao's name!
On the leaderboard, a sparkling name suddenly disappeared. Li Yao's name once again appeared in the top 100 — in a flash, he had soared to 88th place!
The arrogant youth's face was filled with depression. He fiercely glared at Li Yao, carried the Burning Sky Battle Axe, and dejectedly left.
"So he wanted to be a professional 'artifact dealer' and use this method to earn points!"
The numerous cultivators in the monitoring center suddenly came to a realization. One after another, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In the past dozens of competitions, there had been people who had conducted artifact transactions. However, more often than not, they would only occasionally do so while killing Demon Beasts.
The main reason was that there were too many loopholes in the transaction rules. To the artifact maker, it was actually quite unfavorable. If they were the slightest bit careless, it would be very easy for the artifact to be snatched away by others.
They didn't expect that this monstrous little guy would come up with a method of "mutual destruction", and all of a sudden, the loopholes in the transaction were blocked!
After completing the first transaction, Li Yao quickly threw himself into the assembly of the new artifact.
He was like a tireless spiritual puppet. Even after several hours of high-speed work, his hands were unable to tremble in the slightest. Dozens of artifacts appeared one after another!
During this time, over a hundred contestants came to the supply point.
Most of the contestants with enough points bought an artifact under Li Yao's glib tongue.
In other words, Li Yao comfortably stayed in this incomparably safe supply point. It was equivalent to hunting hundreds or even thousands of Demon Beasts outside!
His ranking on the leaderboard soared all the way, and he successfully slaughtered his way into the top ten. There was only a difference of less than a hundred points between him and Helian Lie!
Every examinee could use the Puji Critter to check the leaderboard.
One could well imagine how shocked and heartbroken Helian Lie was when he saw Li Yao's name!
"This piece of trash! He's obviously a rotten piece of trash! Trash! Trash! How could he slaughter his way into the top ten? Is there only such a small gap between us? That's completely impossible! "
Helian Lie's eyes were blood red. He was incomparably irritable. He racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out how Li Yao had done it in the end!
Soon, all of the artifact components in the first supply point had been consumed by Li Yao. The assembled artifacts were also traded for points.
