Chapter 658: Utterly Reckless
Chapter 658: Chapter 656: Utterly Reckless
Zuo Feng had been hit by Jiang Chen.
It was unbelievable. He was a Martial King Seventh Heaven, yet when Jiang Chen struck him, he hadn’t reacted in the slightest.
He couldn’t fathom it.
No matter how he looked at him, Jiang Chen didn’t exude the aura of a powerful expert.
Spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Zuo Feng’s expression finally turned savage. He roared, “Brat, I’m going to kill you!”
With that, Zuo Feng shoved aside the other Zuo Family members and charged toward Jiang Chen once more.
The aura of his Martial King Seventh Heaven Cultivation erupted from him completely.
Instantly, the entire hall of the Artifact Refining Pavilion began to thrum with power.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the other Zuo Family members, including Zuo Tu, quickly followed Zuo Feng, charging at Jiang Chen.
The mob began to swarm Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed slightly once more.
He watched as Zuo Feng, the first to charge, came right up to him, making no move to dodge.
A Magical Treasure had already appeared in Zuo Feng’s hand. It was a ring-shaped weapon that radiated a dense, precious aura. It was actually a Treasure Artifact.
“The Zuo Family must have invested heavily in Zuo Feng to give him a Treasure Artifact.”
“Now that Zuo Feng has brought out a Treasure Artifact, I’m afraid that kid is in trouble.”
Wielding the ring-shaped Treasure Artifact, Zuo Feng’s aura surged once more.
The ring blazed with light as it hurtled viciously toward Jiang Chen’s head.
Just as it was about to strike, Jiang Chen suddenly made his move, his hand blurring into a fist as he punched straight at it.
BOOM!
Just as Zuo Feng thought he could smash Jiang Chen into paste, he was shocked to see Jiang Chen meet the Treasure Artifact with a bare fist.
‘This is a Treasure Artifact!’
Before he could even process what was happening, fist and artifact collided. He felt a terrifying force travel up from his Treasure Artifact, making it vibrate violently. Then, the power from Jiang Chen’s attack…
…surged through the Magical Treasure and into his arm, making it start to tremble.
‘This is bad!’
Zuo Feng was no fool. In that instant, he realized Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was far higher than his own.
With a cry of alarm, his arm went numb, and he could no longer grip the Magical Treasure.
WHOOSH!
His Magical Treasure went flying, and the force from Jiang Chen’s punch sent him hurtling backward once more.
He crashed into several of the Zuo Family members rushing up from behind, sending them flying.
All of the Zuo Family members stared at Jiang Chen in utter shock.
At that moment, Jiang Chen was emanating the aura of a Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven expert.
The expression on every Zuo Family member’s face changed drastically.
“A Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven master.”
“This…”
They had assumed Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was low, but they never expected him to be a master with a Second Heaven Martial Arts Cultivation.
For a moment, none of the Zuo Family members dared to make another move.
Zuo Feng was supported by his family members, his face pale, yet his eyes burned with hatred for Jiang Chen.
But clearly, he hadn’t expected Jiang Chen’s Cultivation to be so high.
It was completely beyond their expectations.
Naturally, the other onlookers were just as surprised.
A Martial Arts master was a true expert, after all.
At the same time, members of the Artifact Refiner Guild finally reacted, placing themselves between Jiang Chen and Zuo Feng’s group. The Two-Star Refiner emanated an aura that revealed he, too, possessed a Martial Arts Cultivation.
He said angrily, “All of you, stop! This is the Artifact Refiner Guild.”
“This is not a place for you to brawl.”
“Whatever grievances you have, please resolve them outside the Artifact Refining Pavilion.”
Everything had happened so fast that the people from the Artifact Refiner Guild hadn’t had a chance to react. Now they hurried to intervene; they couldn’t let people fight inside the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Zuo Feng glared at Jiang Chen. “Brat, the Zuo Family will not let you get away with this.”
He knew it was not a good idea to continue the fight in the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Besides, Jiang Chen had demonstrated immense Cultivation Power; the Zuo Family members present were simply no match for him.
Some of the Zuo Family members had already left to notify their family’s experts.
Therefore, Zuo Feng did not provoke Jiang Chen any further.
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more either.
“Resume the test.”
The man from the Artifact Refiner Guild announced once more.
Jiang Chen returned to Artifact Refining Furnace number fifteen.
As for Zuo Feng, although he was furious, he still maintained a degree of composure.
He suddenly shouted, “Brat, even though your Cultivation is higher than mine, I’m about to show you how formidable I, Zuo Feng, truly am.”
“Watch me crush you when it comes to the Artifact Refiner Star Level.”
With that, he strode over to Artifact Refining Furnace number sixteen.
The test began once more.
Although Jiang Chen had just beaten Zuo Feng and stolen the spotlight, many people still favored Zuo Feng.
Given Zuo Feng’s status within the Zuo Family and the training he had received, he was undoubtedly the most dazzling genius present today.
As soon as the test began, Zuo Feng demonstrated his astounding talent and ability.
He used an extremely profound Artifact Refining Technique to hammer out his Magical Treasure, and the difference between him and the others was immediately obvious.
“Zuo Feng has truly inherited the Zuo Family’s core teachings. He’s pushing the Zuo Family Refining Skill to its absolute limit.”
“A man like that has a limitless future.”
Zuo Feng had been the center of attention from the start, and now many people were showering him with praise.
Chen Shou had already caused a stir just by becoming a One-Star Middle-Grade Refiner, yet Zuo Feng was drawing everyone’s admiration from his very first movements.
Chen Shou was simply no match for Zuo Feng.
Of course, while watching Zuo Feng, many people also glanced over at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was right next to Zuo Feng.
After a glance, every one of them couldn’t help but shake their heads.
“This kid is just fooling around.”
“His technique for refining the Magical Treasure is completely haphazard.”
“Sigh, what a pity. I actually thought he might be a genius.”
Jiang Chen was using the Thousand-Hammered Refining Skill, but the others couldn’t perceive its profound nature.
Only the Two-Star Refiner from the Artifact Refiner Guild watched Jiang Chen with surprise, though his brow was slightly furrowed.
He simply couldn’t discern the principles behind Jiang Chen’s Artifact Refining Technique.
Finally, he let out a sigh.
Ultimately, everyone’s attention returned to Zuo Feng.
After some time, the Magical Treasure Zuo Feng was refining had nearly taken its final form.
HUMMM!
The Magical Treasure Zuo Feng was refining suddenly trembled, and a powerful light erupted from the sword-shaped weapon.
The crowd immediately erupted into a clamor.
“It’s radiating light! Zuo Feng’s Magical Treasure is radiating light!”
“Incredible! By the looks of it, it’s going to be a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact for sure.”
“He truly is the genius Artifact Refiner of the Zuo Family.”
After a while, Zuo Feng finally finished refining his Magical Treasure.
A brightly gleaming sword appeared in his hand.
The eyes of many in the crowd lit up as they looked at the sword.
Zuo Feng was very pleased with the Dharma Artifact he had refined.
He immediately glanced over at Jiang Chen, only to see he was still in the middle of refining. The Magical Treasure he was working on looked completely unremarkable, exceptionally plain.
He snorted in disdain. ‘A good-for-nothing, just as I expected.’
With a low grunt, he carried his Dharma Artifact over to the Two-Star Refiner.
“Master Hong,” he said, “please appraise this for me.”
Master Hong took the Magical Treasure Zuo Feng had refined.
He infused it with his Cultivation Power.
HUMMM!
Zuo Feng’s Magical Treasure immediately began to radiate a brilliant light.
At the same time, it began to emanate the unmistakable aura of a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact.
