Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"Not bad at all! I thought you were going to sell the Diamond Battleship!" Ta Fang teased.

"I’m not selling the Diamond Battleship; it’s useful to me. I’m still dreaming of bombarding the enemy," Yi Tian replied.

"But, little brother, I must tell you, the resource market has gone haywire these past few days, many items have dropped in price inexplicably. This time, the resources you obtained will definitely not fetch as high a price as last time, so be prepared," Ta Fang informed Yi Tian about the market situation on their end.

"No worries, Brother Ta Fang. I trust you. My warehouse isn’t very big. If possible, please give me some top-grade wood so it doesn’t take up too much space!"

Yi Tian understood that this was the Celestial Dao Rules balancing the market prices between Lords and Indigenous People.

Right now, high-level wood stands at 5.5 million, and wood occupies more space than stone.

Although Yi Tian has a wood warehouse, he also has a Yin Yang Giant Panda constantly cutting wood outside, accumulating ordinary wood very quickly.

"Alright! Our Longlong Tribe has plenty of top-grade wood," Ta Fang agreed cheerfully.

Yi Tian left the villa and ran from the city to the dock to trade the items on the order with Ta Fang.

Ta Fang also traded Yi Tian a large batch of A-level Beast Cores as a deposit.

The two agreed to complete the transaction by noon tomorrow.

At half-past ten in the evening, Yi Tian took a piece of Enlightenment Tea and practiced the Celestial Ice Palm for half an hour.

Yi Tian decided to practice the Unrivaled Sword and Celestial Flame Palm in the morning and the Celestial Ice Palm at night.

Yi Tian found that practicing the Celestial Ice Palm late at night, while in Unity of Heaven and Man, was more effective than practicing it early in the morning.

Nighttime always brings a sense of peace.

Nighttime also brings chilliness.

Although the Enlightenment Tea accelerates progress enormously, taking it three times a day is the limit.

Taking it more might have an adverse effect.

Now, Yi Tian can only choose to focus on mastering the Unrivaled Sword, Celestial Ice Palm, and Celestial Flame Palm, primarily for attack.

As for the Cyan Wood Revival Skill, Earth Heaven Technique, and Misty Step, Yi Tian neither has the time nor the energy.

Until he perfects the Celestial Ice Palm and Celestial Flame Palm, Yi Tian won’t consider practicing other martial skills.

He plucks the topmost three-colored leaves from the branches of the Enlightenment Tea Tree one by one, roasting them into tea.

Roasting all the tea leaves once will take four days, using seven different Fire Element types and twenty-two S-level Beast Cores.

After placing a batch of tea leaves into the Spirit Tea Spirit Gathering Box, Yi Tian takes a sip of Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine, opens the arena system, and clicks into the Golden Arena.

The challenge window opens!

Yi Tian is currently on a seven hundred twenty-win streak, planning to check out the reward for reaching a thousand consecutive victories.

If the reward is enticing, Yi Tian will aim for an even higher winning streak.

The second-ranked Golden Arena in the world rises!

A "fearless" challenger instantly enters the second-ranked Golden Arena.

The arena system has given rise to a batch of tough opponents.

The outcome is predictable!

Yi Tian strikes them out with a single sword move, his Sword One as sharp as ever.

Under the plague state, many challengers developed the thought they could defeat the second-ranked player.

There were also Lords on the B-level Combat Power Golden List waiting for the second-ranked player to grow weary from attrition battles, ready to swoop in.

Some smarter Lords possessed Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could temporarily cure the plague. They waited for Yi Tian to show fatigue, used the treasures to restore their condition, and then aimed to harvest this big winning streak.

The challenge speed to Yi Tian today is noticeably slower than yesterday.

This might be because some arena members died, or some arena members were too exhausted from fighting to appear in the arena.

In an hour, Yi Tian only fought a hundred matches, and his condition has deteriorated quite a bit.

There were a few decent challengers midway, but they were all plagued, and Yi Tian’s superior combat power ensured easy victories.

Next, Yi Tian deliberately reduced the power of his Sword Qi by twenty percent to give the audience the impression that the second-ranked player’s strength was declining, enticing more challengers to try their luck.

Another hour passed, and Yi Tian defeated a total of one hundred thirty challengers, reaching nine hundred fifty wins. Yi Tian plans to push through for a thousand consecutive victories.

The arena’s Spiritual Qi density reached 100%, but Yi Tian’s plague lacked the suppression of ample Spiritual Qi, limiting him to exert only eighty-three percent of his three-dimensional power.

This time, Lords from the B-level Combat Power Golden List appeared.

But with Yi Tian wielding eighty percent three-dimensional power, most could only exert fifty percent three-dimensional power, making them no match for Yi Tian.

Yi Tian easily struck them down with swords.

However, the Lords from the Golden List fought with all their might, unlike other Lords whom Yi Tian could instantly defeat with one sword.

The battle proceeded smoothly, but Yi Tian took longer.

"Austin of the Fire Elf Race enters the arena, late-stage B-level Mage!"

When Yi Tian reached nine hundred ninety-eight victories, his opponent was a Magician.

Yi Tian remembered quite well; Austin ranked in the seventies or eighties on the B-level Combat Power Golden List.

After Austin entered the arena, the challenge window closed, indicating only one challenger could enter the queue after Austin.

True to Yi Tian’s impression, male Elves were extremely handsome, with red hair.

The Elf Race consists of five elemental Elves.

After the Heaven-Supporting War God’s death, his colossal corpse gave birth to the Light Elf on the sunny side. On the shady side was born the Dark Elf.

The Fire Elf was born on top of his heart.

The Water Spirit was born in the direction his eyeballs faced.

His long hair covered the area where the Forest Elf was born.

Their unique physique grants them an innate advantage in elemental cultivation.

Yi Tian judged from Austin’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit that he had consumed Heavenly and Earthly Treasures before entering.

"Please!"

"Hoo!"

As Yi Tian’s words fell, a Sword Qi erupted from the sword, slicing toward Austin.
