Chapter 2220 The Divine Weapon Seal, The Weaponsmithing Match That Drew the Attention of Many Great Forces
"I don't mind having a match with you," Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Everyone was shocked.
Even Dai Tian himself froze for a while before he laughed. "Very well, Chu Kuangren. You have the guts, for sure. How admirable."
However, in his mind, he was cursing Chu Kuangren an idiot.
Was Chu Kuangren not handing over control of Myriad Arms City by competing his weaponsmithing skills against him, the one ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard?
The first on the Human Divine Bachelor Leaderboard was nothing but a sham.
"However…" The tone of Chu Kuangren's voice changed as he said, "If I lose, Myriad Arms City is yours. However, if you lose, allowing you to leave my territory safely after you come here and cause all this trouble is simply disrespectful, isn't it?"
"What do you want?"
"It's not what I want. Instead, I'd like to see what you can offer."
Dai Tian thought about it. Then, he took out a ring and said, "There are two billion Primordial Crystals inside here. They're yours if I lose."
"I do not need for those."
"This is a bar of Divine Hongmeng Metal."
"I do not fancy this either."
"This is a Divine Genesis Pill that can allow one to quickly ascend through the Grand Dao Realm. Its value is more than one hundred Great Dao Sources–"
"Are these junks the only things you've got?" Chu Kuangren asked.
Dai Tian was livid with anger. The Immortal Metals and Supreme Elixirs he offered were all top-notch treasures, yet Chu Kuangren had no interest in them.
His standards for things were just too high.
What could Dai Tian use to gain his interest?
He must get his hands on Myriad Arms City.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up when something crossed his mind. However, he looked hesitant after that.
When Chu Kuangren saw that, he said, "If you don't want to compete, get the hell out of my city."
"I'm competing!"
With his teeth gritted, Dai Tian raised his hand and took out a white bundle of light. There seemed to be countless cryptic characters swirling within it that formed a mystical runic seal. It was a very mysterious item.
Everyone's gaze narrowed when they saw the seal.
Many weaponsmiths could instinctively tell that it was an extraordinary item.
"This is the Divine Weapon Seal!
"It's one of the legendary Nine Divine Seals. If you can defeat me, this Divine Seal is yours." Dai Tian stated his terms.
The mention of the Nine Divine Seals drove everyone into a frenzy.
"I can't believe it's the legendary Nine Divine Seals."
"It was said that the Nine Divine Seals represented the ultimate limits of their respective Dao. These seals are so mysterious that even the Monarchs would kill to have one of them."
"I can't believe Dai Tian possesses such an invaluable item."
Everyone looked at the Divine Seal in Dai Tian's hand with desire burning in their eyes.
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up as well.
As he expected, the item causing a reaction from the Divine Void Seal inside his body was another Divine Seal.
He already had a hunch when he first saw Dai Tian. Besides, his actions earlier were to test his hypothesis. He hoped his opponent would offer that item as collateral for the match.
"Alright, as you wish."
"If you win, Myriad Arms City is yours. However, if you lose, the Divine Seal stays," Chu Kuangren said.
"Very well!"
Dai Tian was delighted.
He believed he had won the match, and that was why he could gamble with the Divine Seal. After all, he was ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard. How could he possibly lose to anyone?
There was no way.
"Master, please do not act rashly."
Ou Yenuo wanted to advise Chu Kuangren.
If he had lost to Dai Tian, how was Chu Kuangren hoping to win against Dai Tian?
Cultivation and weaponsmithing were two completely different things.
From Ou Yenuo's perspective, Chu Kuangren's weaponsmithing skills were not that high. Otherwise, why would Chu Kuangren seek him to upgrade the Descendant Self Sword?
"Don't worry." Chu Kuangren comforted Ou Yenuo.
Lan Yu, who was beside him, pondered for a while and remained quiet.
She had absolute confidence in Chu Kuangren.
She knew that if her Master decided to take action, he would surely not return empty-handed.
Among the crowd, many weaponsmiths were discussing the match.
Similar to Ou Yenuo, none of them thought Chu Kuangren could beat Dai Tian.
They believed Chu Kuangren was giving the city away.
"Hmph, Chu Kuangren is really arrogant. Only a fool who's out of his mind would compete with the first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard in weaponsmithing."
Dragon Hunter Wang Yi and his men were also among the crowd.
The one who spoke was Dragon Hunter Lu Yun.
Even Wang Yi was surprised. He wondered if Chu Kuangren was really that ignorant.
However, he could not figure out how Chu Kuangren was going to defeat the first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard. After all, the Hongmeng Divine Leaderboards had never been wrong before. Since Dai Tian was ranked first, it meant that his skill in weaponsmithing was unparalleled. If so, how was Chu Kuangren going to win?
"Is Chu Kuangren going to give away control of this city like that?"
"It'll be good if that's the case. If he really does have that low of an IQ, I'll be looking forward to getting back the Dragonslayer," Wang Yi thought.
The spies from various great forces were also observing that match.
Similarly, none of them believed Chu Kuangren could win.
"Tsk, I can't believe we're sent to spy on a fool."
"This task is effortless."
The spies secretly shook their heads.
At the same time, they also relayed that information back to their respective forces.
The higher-ups of the great forces were also stunned.
They had no idea what Chu Kuangren was up to now.
Curious, they quickly ordered their spies to report every single detail of the weaponsmithing match as it happened.
Chu Kuangren did not expect himself to attract the attention of so many forces just by competing in a mere weaponsmithing match.
Both he and Dai Tian stood at the mouth of the volcano and began their match.
Similar to the previous match, both sides would use the same material to craft weapons, and the one whose weapon was stronger would be the winner.
While Dai Tian was taking out his weaponsmithing furnace, Chu Kuangren pondered for a while. Then, he looked at Ou Yenuo and said, "Ou Yenuo, lend me your furnace."
Everyone was even more stunned.
How could he have the courage to compete against the first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard when he did not even have his own weaponsmithing tools?
On the other hand, Ou Yenuo had lost all hope. He handed over his furnace to Chu Kuangren while lamenting the fact that he had to leave Myriad Arms City after being here for so long.
Since Chu Kuangren had to leave, he, as the subordinate, would have to follow too.
"Hmph. To excel in your craft, you must first have the right tools. If you have to borrow even your weaponsmithing equipment for others, how are you hoping to defeat me?" Dai Tian snorted.
Now, he was much more confident in winning the match.
He tossed his forging materials into the weaponsmithing furnace, and his Great Dao aura surged while the crimson patterns on his body glowed with a scorching aura. Surges of True Hongmeng Crimson Solar Flames soon appeared from his body patterns.
That divine flame was extremely unique.
Besides being used for weaponsmithing, it was a great tool in combat too.
Everyone watched with envy as the materials started to melt under the heat of the divine flame.
Then, everyone looked at Chu Kuangren, who casually tossed the forging materials into the weaponsmithing furnace.
"I wonder what kind of flame he'll use."
"It doesn't matter because it'll still be inferior to the True Hongmeng Crimson Solar Flame."
While everyone was speculating, Chu Kuangren looked at the volcano's mouth. He reached out, gestured a grab with his hand, and said coldly. "O' flames, come to me!"
In an instant, the Blazing Flame Volcano trembled, and a scorching wave of hot air burst out from within the volcano.
The magma and Blazing Flame gathered in the air, turning into a giant, mighty, and ferocious flame dragon.
The giant flame dragon hovered in the air before entering the weaponsmithing furnace.
Many were stunned by that display of skill.
"He does know weaponsmithing!"
"And by the looks of it, he seems very skilled at it."
Dai Tian glanced over. Although he was surprised, he sneered. "If Ou Yenuo lost to me with this flame, what do you think you can do?"
"If he loses, I, as his Master, will help him regain his honor. With the same Blazing Flame that he used, I will defeat you… fair and square!"
