Chapter 963
Long Fangyu saw how respectful Jin He is being towards Qin Yun and felt very amazed. However, this situation concerns great amount of benefits, so he can not bow and bend knee to Qin Yun.
“I don’t believe you are late stage Martial King!” Long Fangyu said to Qin Yun. His tone is no longer as confrontational as before.
“It’s simple, you can find out after testing, you should have a method to test!” Qin Yun said.
“Naturally I do.” Long Fangyu took out a mirror, reflected Qin Yun’s body on it and said : “You must not move.”
In a few moments the testing is done and the result is that Qin Yun has indeed been found out to be a late stage Martial King.
“Let’s continue.” Ye Yaoxue said.
Jin He said to Long Fangyu in low voice : “There are still formation and puppet competition but I have no confidence to defeat him! He is a Venerable Master who can carve runes with 11th grade finesse, I don’t want to compete with him!”
He recalled his previous matches with Qin Yun and felt even more respect for Qin Yun, that is indeed the level of a Venerable Master.
“Great Master Jin.. we made an agreement before, you must compete! So long as you win just one round, our Dragon Sect will win!” Long Fangyu said. Jin He doesn’t want to compete, he finds this situation very unexpected. He is not an Inscription Masters, so he can not fathom what is going through Jin He’s mind.
Jin He doesn’t have the heart to compete anymore because he now believes he can not win. He shook his head and said : “I have received great psychological shock, there is no meaning in continuing to struggle!”
Ye Yaoxue can not help but smile as she spoke : “Long Fangyu, don’t make things difficult for Great Master Jin!”
Long Fangyu firmly clenched his fists as he looked at Qin Yun, he really did no expect Hundred Pagoda Sect to have someone like him.
“Great Master Jin, can you really not compete again?” Long Fangyu is very unreconciled because there are still two more rounds. However, trying to make a comeback is too great of a hope.
Jin He shook his head and said : “Even if I continue to I have no confidence.”
Long Fangyu said : “Even if you don’t have confidence, you must continue. We can not give up!”
Jin He looked at Qin Yun, helplessly sighed and said : “Alright, then I will continue.”
Those who doesn’t understand inscription, don’t know the significance of 11th grade finesse. But Inscription Masters like Jin He and Wang Wen is very clear, someone who can carve runes with 11th grade finesse, if that person doesn’t possess Inscription Spirit, then that person’s talent is extremely high. Jin He acting very timidly in front of Qin Yun thus also very normal.
“Next is the formation competition… you create a formation and I try to break it, how about it?” Jin He looked at the color of the sky, it is dusk now, he wants to finish this quickly.
Everyone can see that Jin He no longer has fighting spirit.
Qin Yun said : “Alright, 2 hours time, ok?”
Jin He nodded. Qin Yun took out beast skin and began carving rune on it. Long Fangyu is now very panicky because he feels that his Dragon Sect will lose this time. Jin He is the Great Master the Dragon Sect invited from far away. The competition is not over yet but Jin He has already become completely dispirited. It seems like if Long Fangyu did not insisted, Jin He would have already accepted defeat. Ye Yaoxue is not a lot relieved but it is not yet over so she doesn’t dare to completely relax.
2 hours passed by, Qin Yun also set up a formation with the beast skin. He placed a stone on the middle of the beast skin and said : “After I activate the formation, a protective barrier will appear. If you can break the formation and take the stone, it will be your win. If you are too excessive and break the stone, it will be your loss!”
Jin He looked at the beast skin and became very interested. To him, it is a very good opportunity to learn from experience. He is very earnestly looking at that formation, he even tried to touch it with hand but was blocked by a power. He can’t use force while breaking the formation, otherwise the formation will explode along with the stone inside. Qin Yun is just watching from the side. Since he is wearing a head gear, nobody knows what kind of expression he has.
Ye Yaoxue asked through sound transmission : “Immoral Venerable Master, do you have full confidence in winning? That Jin He looks like he is very serious.”
Qin Yun said : “I don’t.”
This answer immediately caused Ye Yaoxue to be scared and on edge. If they lose, all the hard word until now would be for naught.
“You.. you really don’t have any confidence?” Ye Yaoxue asked.
“Just watch, what’s the point of talking?” he actually have full confidence. He is deliberately speaking that way to tease Ye Yaoxue, to make her worried and anxious.
Ye Yaoxue’s complexion suddenly became gloomy, she is really worried that they might lose. Jin He is sitting beside the beast skin and very calmly looking. The battle stage became bright after the light illuminating stones floating in the sky lit up. Spectators have been chatting and waiting for the result for whole day. Dragon Sect disciples’ mood is very heavy. If they lose, they will have to live the next ten years by tightening their belts.
Granny Star said before that the reason Hundred Pagoda Sect and Dragon Sect came into agreement to compete like this is because they used to have frequent conflict for the control over territory. Later, they came into this agreement so that they don’t suffer disastrous losses. There had been many competitions before, after Ye Yaoxue became 1st pagoda’s chief disciple and led Hundred Pagoda Sect, she achieved two consecutive competitions. This time is the 3rd. Since Dragon Sect lacked resources for 20 years, their strength also fell back by a lot.
2 hours later Jin He let out a long sigh and said : “This round is my loos, I am unable to break this formation.”
Ye Yaoxue slightly exhaled a mouthful of air. She cursed Qin Yun a few times in her heart, she realized that Qin Yun deliberately scared her.
“Next round is the competition of puppet. The puppet embryo you use must be the wood puppet. It is usually sold by Inscription Palace Hall, you should have some right?” Long Fangyu said. He can now only pin all of his hopes on the last round.
“I do.” Jin He nodded and said. He took out an empty wood puppet, there is no totem carved in it.
Qin Yun looked at Ye Yaoxue and said : “I don’t have such things, quickly take out some for me!”
Ye Yaoxue secretly despises Qin Yun, he is supposed to be a Venerable Master yet he doesn’t have things like this. Wang Wen hastily took out a wood puppet embryo and handed it over to Qin Yun. His current attitude towards Qin Yun is filled with respect and politeness. These wood puppets are usually used for odd jobs, even though it is just embryo, it is quite expensive.
“We will carve until dawn and then compete.” Jin He said. He is now deliberately putting up a confident front.
“Alright.” Qin Yun replied.
He began carving Golden Ape Totem with Mental Resonance Xuan Pen. Since he possesses Totem Inscription Spirit, he can very easily carve Golden Ape Totem. He finished within an hour. Since Golden Ape Totem is not a very good totem, he carved some other runes inside the puppet to increase it’s power. After he finished, he realized that there is is still an hour left before dawn. It seems like if he did not deliberately acted slowly, he could have finished even earlier.
Ye Yaoxue saw Qin Yun is motionless and asked in low voice : “Lion head, are you done?”
“Yes. What’s up?” Qin Yun said.
Wang Wen said : “So fast! If it were me, it would take at least a complete day to finish!”
Long Fangyu groaned : “Slow and steady wins the race! You completed your puppet so fast, it most definitely is not a good thing.”
Qin Yun said with smile : “You will know in a little while!”
Jin He also finished soon after, he is sweating profusely. Then everyone walked down from the stage, only the two puppets are left on the stage to fight. Qin Yun’s wood puppet is rather small and black in color, Jin He’s wood puppet is tall and red in color.
“Begin!” Long Fangyu shouted. Hearts of all the Dragon Sect disciples are heavy, whether or not they can obtain resources for next ten years depend on this round.
Qin Yun and Jin He controlled their puppets and moved them. Qin Yun’s puppet is very fast, compared to that, Jin He’s puppet is slower.
“I won!” Qin Yun suddenly shouted. His puppet rushed out and sent a palm attack forward, that palm is overflowing with flame.
Flame is the nemesis of wood puppets and Qin Yun’s puppet can actually use flame. Jin He’s expression showed great changed, he controlled his puppet to dodge but the palm attack is very fast and directly hit his puppet head on.
Boom!
Qin Yun puppet struck with flame very easily and even created great explosion, directly igniting Jin He’s wood puppet and causing it to fall apart.
Jin He let out a long sigh, looked at Long Fangyu and said : “I tried my best.”
Long Fangyu is staring blankly, his fists are firmly clenched, their Dragon Sect lost this time too. The Nine Suns gradually rose, they are very bright and splendid but the hearts of each and every one of the Dragon Sect disciples are filled with darkness.
“Let’s go!” Long Fangyu’s mood is extremely gloomy. When their Dragon Sect arrived, they were filled with imposing momentum. Now they are leaving dejectedly.
Hundred Pagoda Sect disciples began cheering. Ye Yaoxue’s beautiful face is filled with smile. She quickly took out a sound transmission tool and sent message to her elders. Soon enough a group of old and middle aged men flew over and descended on the battle stage. They are all higher ups of Hundred Pagoda Sect, sect master, elders and law keepers. Many disciples saluted one after another.
Qin Yun can finally see the 1st pagoda’s pagoda master, he is also the sect master of Hundred Pagoda Sect. His name is Yang Chongtian. He is wearing cloths that have a sun painted on them. His straight and smooth white hairs are hanging down his shoulder and he is wearing a golden-red jade crown. His slightly wrinkled face is filled with severity. His eyes are filled with awe and indifference as he looked at Qin Yun and Granny Star.
Granny Star said : “Sect master, you promised to give Star Traveling Pagoda resources from this year!”
1st pagoda’s disciples became very unhappy because they are about to lose a great deal of resources.
Yang Chongtian groaned : “We never promised you anything!”
Many people are stunned hearing his words. Ye Yaoxue is also dumbstruck, her phoenix eyes are wide open as she looked at Yang Chongtian. She wanted to speak but was forcefully taken away by a few old Half Immortals. Seeing this scene, Qin Yun and Granny Star are clear that Yang Chongtian has decided to act shamelessly, he wants to burn the bridge after crossing it. Hundred Refining Plaza became completely quiet. 1st pagoda’s discples became very happy, they would rather be shameless than let go of so much resources.
“You are acting shamelessly!” Granny Star said in deep furious voice.
“It has nothing to do with us! We never said with our own mouth that we would give you resources! It must be that little girl Ye Yaoxue decided to do without permission! It has nothing to do with our 1st pagoda!” Yang Chongtian chuckled : “Alright, your Star Traveling Pagoda is also part of my Hundred Pagoda Sect, it is natural that you will spend some effort!”
