"Please."
His calm words ignited the atmosphere of the scene. Everyone felt a surge of hot blood rushing to their heads.
These seniors were all taught a lesson by Dong Fang Yu last year. Every single one of them was taught a lesson by her. Naturally, they had some resentment towards her. Sadly, in terms of status and cultivation, they were not on the same level as her.
Therefore, they didn't dare to speak up despite their anger.
Yet before their eyes, someone as ruthless as Ling Xian appeared. Not only did he disrespect Dong Fang Yu's authority, he also questioned her abilities. Why wouldn't everyone's blood boil?
"Good, very good."
Dong Fang Yu crossed her arms before her chest and her face was cold, "You are the first person to provoke me in public."
"Then I should feel honored?" Ling Xian grinned. He didn't think things would turn out this way.
However, since Dong Fang Yu had made her move, then he cannot back down.
So what she was his teacher?
He was fearless!
"You sure are gutsy. I hope you have the capabilities to match it."
Dong Fang Yu coldly snickered and mocked, "If you have the capabilities, then that is courage. If you don't, then you are stupidity."
"Courage or stupidity? Why don't you try?" Ling Xian grinned. His expression remained calm, displaying his fearlessness.
"Okay, if you can't answer, or if you answer incorrectly, then I will do whatever I want to you."
Dong Fang Yu's face was frosty, "If you answer correctly, then I will not pursue what happened today. I will also allow you to do whatever you want in my future classes."
"Okay, then it's a deal."
Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. Though this was only the first class, he was certain that what Dong Fang Yu was teaching was useless to him. If he had the time, he might as well spend it learning from the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. Achieving the ninth realm in one night was the best proof.
Therefore, Dong Fang Yu's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
"Very well, then I will begin my questions. Don't worry, I will not ask you anything too profound. I will only ask you about the ninth realm. "Dong Fang Yu crossed her arms before her chest. Her face was full of confidence as she asked her first question.
"Let me ask you, what is the most important step to make a ninth realm treasure?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. Because he didn't know how to answer.
Although he was already sure that he was a Ninth Grade Craftsman and could refine a Ninth Grade Magic Weapon. However, the path of the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance was very different from traditional craftsmen's.
Therefore, he didn't know any of this theoretical knowledge.
In other words, he could not answer this question.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yu teased, "What, you can't answer? Didn't you have the guts to question my abilities? So you're just an idiot. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.
"I thought he was capable, but it turns out he's just an idiot. He's in trouble now."
"This idiot! Why are you questioning me if you don't have the ability? Just wait for Teacher Dongfang to teach you a lesson. "
"He loves to be in the limelight. Tsk tsk, he's openly looking down on Instructor Dongfang's authority. How much face would he have if word of this got out?"
Everyone spoke one after another, their words filled with disdain and ridicule.
Originally, they thought Ling Xian was truly capable and were waiting for him to embarrass Dong Fang Yu. But now, he couldn't even answer this question. How could everyone not be disappointed?
Xiang Ru Gu shook his head in disappointment as well. Luckily, he was his roommate and didn't say anything to mock him.
However, against everyone's disdain and mockery, Ling Xian's expression was calm and unfazed. He knew his own capabilities very well. It was just that he didn't know the basics of traditional Sects.
Seeing how calm he was, Dong Fang Yu was infuriated. She coldly snickered, "You can't even answer such a simple question and yet you can remain so calm. You sure are shameless."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't speak. He was thinking about how to get out of this situation.
If he couldn't bring out the truth to fight back, then he would really lose a lot of face today.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you feeling guilty?"
Dong Fang Yu's eyes flashed with mockery, "How about this, I will give you another chance. If you can answer, then I will forget about what happened before."
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He didn't need to listen to know that he couldn't answer.
This was because he knew nothing about the foundational knowledge of traditional sects.
However, Dong Fang Yu didn't care if he agreed or not. She asked her second question right away.
The result was the same as last time. Ling Xian didn't know the answer.
This made the sarcasm on Dong Fang Yu's face intensify and made everyone else even more disdainful.
"Trash! Idiot! I don't even know how to describe him anymore. He can't even answer Dong Fang Yu's question and he dares to question her? "
"This fella is doomed. Dong Fang Yu's ruthlessness is famous in the entire Path of Crafts. He is dead for sure."
"He deserves it. He doesn't have any abilities and yet he dares to question Dong Fang Yu. Isn't he asking for it?"
Everyone mocked again. At the same time, they were looking at Ling Xian with pity. It was like they were looking at someone who was about to die.
Hearing the mocking laughter by his ear, Ling Xian was speechless and didn't know what to say.
First of all, it wasn't like he didn't have abilities. Second of all, he didn't question Dong Fang Yu. He simply thought what she said was useless.
Therefore, he was merely speaking the truth.
However, to everyone else, it was a complete provocation. Now that he couldn't answer, it became a symbol of his lack of abilities.
"Interesting. I thought you had some abilities."
Dong Fang Yu teasingly smiled and mocked, "I cannot believe you are a trash who only knows how to talk big. Just like I said, courage without abilities is just stupidity. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian helplessly smiled but still didn't say anything.
In the eyes of the crowd, his lack of rebuttal was a tacit agreement.
Immediately, the disdain on everyone's faces deepened. Even Xiang Ru Gu couldn't help but to sigh and shake his head. However, he didn't say anything.
Though he had some history with Ling Xian, he knew he was in the wrong. Therefore, he didn't kick Ling Xian when he was down.
However, Dong Fang Yu didn't care about that. She continued to mock, "I don't think I need to ask the following questions. You can't even answer these two simple questions. It's pointless to ask."
"It seems like I have won. Shouldn't you let me do whatever I want to you?"
Dong Fang Yu teasingly smiled. Her face was full of certainty. She was even fantasizing about what she would do to punish Ling Xian.
Everyone else was the same. Not only did they think Ling Xian cannot turn the situation around, they also thought he would die a horrible death.
Who in the entire Path of Crafts didn't know about Dong Fang Yu's name? Even a teacher wouldn't dare to provoke her, let alone a mere pupil.
Now that Ling Xian had angered her and had the ability to convince her, the result was not hard to imagine.
He wouldn't die. But without a doubt, he would feel worse than death!
"It seems like there is only one way for me to get out of this situation."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The situation was very clear. Everyone here thought he was a trash who only knew how to talk big. It was true that he couldn't answer Dong Fang Yu's questions and was destined to let her do whatever she wanted to him.
No matter how much he thought about it, there was only one way for him to get out of this situation.
And that was to directly craft a ninth realm treasure.
He couldn't answer Dong Fang Yu's questions. Therefore, this was the only way he could give her, and everyone else, a powerful counterattack.
Since Dong Fang Yu's questions were all about crafting a ninth realm treasure, then if he manages to craft a treasure in front of everyone, then it would prove that he was a ninth realm craftsman.
Compared to refining a ninth-grade magic treasure, those problems seemed insignificant.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to craft a ninth realm treasure right here and now and use facts to speak!
Therefore, he no longer hesitated and didn't speak. He took out a black stone from his storage pouch.
The Gem of Forging.
A seventh realm crafting material that was suitable for beginners to craft treasures.
This stone was something he acquired from the Imperishable Temple and had been piling up in a corner. If he didn't plan on crafting in front of everyone, he wouldn't have realized that there was a gem of forging inside the pile.
But since there was one, then it was convenient for him.
"Let's begin. Let's use facts to speak."
Grinning, Ling Xian formed a hand seal and displayed a technique he learned from the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. Then, the Flame of Purity naturally rose and wrapped around the gem of forging.
At this, everyone was first startled and then realized what was going on. However, they weren't surprised by this. Instead, they began to mock him.
"You overestimate yourself. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? You can't even answer two questions and you want to craft a ninth realm treasure? Laughable. "
"This is far too laughable. This fella must have lost his mind. Even us seniors cannot craft a ninth realm treasure. I really don't know where he gets his confidence from."
"It's obvious that he hasn't embarrassed himself enough."
"Interesting. I sure want to see what you can craft." Dong Fang Yu teased and didn't stop Ling Xian.
To her, he was merely struggling because he didn't want to lose face. She didn't believe that the person before her, who couldn't even answer her questions, could craft a ninth realm treasure.
Xiang Ru Gu sighed helplessly. He didn't even know how to evaluate his roommate. He admitted that Ling Xian's battling abilities were insane. But he didn't believe that his roommate had the ability to craft a ninth realm treasure.
That was obvious. If he couldn't even answer two questions, how could he craft one?
How would they know that Ling Xian's inheritance and the Pioneer of Crafts were very different from the traditional ones? Not only was it easier, but the treasures he made were also much stronger.
This was why he felt like Dong Fang Yu's words were useless to him.
At this moment, Ling Xian was holding his breath. Using the Godly Flame and techniques, he was refining the stone in midair.
Gradually, the stone began to melt and change shape. Just as he had imagined, it turned into a disk.
Then, he took out several strange materials. Using the techniques he inherited, he combined them with the round plate.
One has to admit that Duan Shan He's technique was truly unparalleled. If he were to use the traditional method, it would take at least four to six hours. But with Ling Xian, he only needed a few minutes.
Though this was his first time crafting, he had practiced it many times in his head. Plus, the Immortal of Crafts' technique was heaven-defying. Therefore, his crafting speed was extremely fast.
It was so fast that it only took him an hour to finish refining the magic treasure.
When the round plate began to emit blinding light, everyone froze. The entire classroom turned dead silent.
Not a single sound was heard.
