Chapter 137: You Think You Have X-ray Vision?
As soon as Master Tang appeared, the atmosphere in the arena became increasingly lively, with several powerful figures emerging.
"I heard that Dai Zongze is coming! They say he is the true powerhouse of the Northwest! If he gets involved, even someone like Lei Dong from the Lei Family would not be his match!"
"Exactly! Dai Zongze is indeed a super strong presence! He just disdains participating in the martial arts tournament."
People around whispered in discussion.
At the mention of Dai Zongze’s name, almost everyone’s expression changed.
Dai Zongze is a reclusive master in the Northwest, rarely active, even someone like Lei Dong has to be wary of him. Yet this time, he is going to appear.
Liu Piaoying specifically reminded again, "Junior Brother Fan, make sure to stick close to us later. Be cautious, if you provoke a Martial King, we won’t be able to save you."
Tan Keqin further advised Ye Qingtian, "Especially you, don’t act so arrogant being just an ordinary person. Or you’ll find yourself dead without knowing how."
Ye Qingtian was observed with a calm demeanor, indifferent to the crowd.
Tan Keqin had long been displeased...
"The Ma Family’s Martial King expert has arrived!"
"The Hao Family’s Martial King expert!"
"This... Now two Martial Kings and more than ten Martial Forms have appeared! Shuanglong Tower has never been this lively."
The atmosphere in the arena continued to grow intense.
But it hadn’t reached its peak since Dai Zongze hadn’t arrived yet.
Ye Qingtian glanced over, seeing three Martial Kings, but they were only at the Early Stage, far inferior to Ling Tianlong.
"Here comes the Spirit Master’s spiritual artifact."
Behind Master Tang, several strong figures appeared, one of whom carried a box.
"It’s said the spiritual artifact of the Spirit Master was found by Master Tang. He is a legendary figure, worthy of the title of a hero of the generation."
"Though he is not a martial artist, he can command the following of hundreds of martial artists, including several powerful ones. Not only that, but he also controls an underground fighting ring in the Grassland Province, holds a vast network of connections, and has granted favors to many prominent figures, earning respect from all. If he were to rally forces, he could summon a strength that even the Four Great Families of Jin City couldn’t resist."
Tan Keqin spoke excitedly, expressing his enthusiasm.
"Could it be that Master Tang intends to use the Spirit Master’s artifact to recruit a large number of martial arts experts today?"
Someone asked.
Liu Piaoying nodded, "Naturally. Now that two Martial Kings and more than ten Martial Forms are here, and even Dai Zongze is coming, it’s evident that’s Master Tang’s goal. Martial artists value their reputation highly; offering Master Tang a promise is akin to serving under him."
Liu Piaoying glanced at everyone and continued, "If someone like Dai Zongze becomes Master Tang’s ally, besides these super families like the Lei Family, there would be no one in the Northwest who could restrain him."
"It’s truly terrifying!"
The crowd gasped in shock.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
Standing on the second floor, Master Tang waved to silence the crowd.
"It is my fortune to have acquired an artifact from a Spirit Master, and you all know the Spirit Master realm is divided into Spirit Disciple, Spiritualist, Spirit Venerable, and Spirit King. The artifact I obtained was crafted by a Spirit King, whose status corresponds to a Martial King but is actually more powerful. Moreover, this artifact is equivalent to a Martial King."
"Besides being skilled in artifact refining, this Spirit Master is also adept in alchemy, and his hidden treasure houses many excellent items."
Master Tang introduced from the high platform.
The entire audience was shocked.
If it’s the hidden treasure of a Spirit Master adept at alchemy, it would likely include numerous elixirs.
Some elixirs can rapidly enhance cultivation...
"Indeed, what everyone thinks is correct. The Spirit Master’s treasure is mostly elixirs, including those that can significantly enhance cultivation. But the key item is the artifact, which, once possessed, multiplies one’s strength. An Early-Stage Martial King with the artifact is easily capable of defeating a Mid-Stage Martial King."
Master Tang laughed, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Immediately, the crowd began buzzing with excitement.
"What? Crossing realms to defeat?"
"No wonder Dai Zongze is coming. If he obtains this artifact, who could rival him?"
Master Tang continued, "Apart from the artifact, there are also elixirs that aid in cultivation enhancement, healing, and improvement of physique."
Master Tang’s implication was that everyone gets a share.
"Master Tang, how can we obtain these elixirs and artifacts?"
Someone curiously asked.
Others gathered, full of anticipation.
At Shuanglong Tower, the least common method is monetary purchase.
The place mostly operates through exchange.
Yet, despite being martial artists, few in the crowd could offer treasures matching the value of these elixirs.
Master Tang chuckled and said, "Frankly, treasures from the Martial Arts Dao are useless to me, even if exchanged. To acquire elixirs is simple, each person scoring an item must offer me a promise."
"That’s only natural! Master Tang is known for benevolence. Elixirs or not, even if you call on us now, we’d all strive to assist!"
...
The martial artists cheered, speaking with excitement.
Master Tang’s reputation was established this way.
"Hahaha..."
Master Tang stroked his chin, laughing heartily.
Master Tang held high esteem among these martial artists.
"Master Tang, how should these artifacts and elixirs be distributed?"
Someone further asked.
Master Tang smiled, "This matter is left to you all to decide on distribution?"
"Great, Master Tang is indeed straightforward."
The crowd expressed joy.
No limitations are best.
"Since that’s the case, Master Tang, I have an idea—since everyone here is a martial artist, let’s determine the ownership of the artifacts and elixirs through martial arts."
Someone suggested.
"Agreed, it’s a good proposal."
The crowd immediately agreed.
The person glanced around and continued, "But with a condition: every martial artist present can only choose one item to contend for."
"Alright!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the majority present supported the idea.
After all, if Martial King experts act, who else would have a chance?
This way, wouldn’t all items belong to them?
"What does Master Tang think?"
The person looked at Master Tang and asked.
"Yes, I agree. Let’s proceed in this manner."
Master Tang promptly agreed.
This proposal benefited him the most, maximizing the value of each treasure and elixir.
Every treasure corresponds to a martial artist’s promise, what’s not to love?
All are martial artists, without any cumbersome procedures—let’s fight.
Master Tang provided a list of treasures for the martial artists to choose from.
The first item on the list was the spiritual artifact.
The artifact with Martial King strength was the most valuable treasure today.
"Haha, isn’t it just a piece of armor? Why make it so mysterious?"
Ye Qingtian coldly smiled upon seeing that the box contained a battle armor.
"Hmph! Master Tang hasn’t revealed what it is yet, do you think you have X-ray vision?"
Upon hearing this comment, Tan Keqin’s lips curled in a mocking smile.
