Divine War Pill Emperor

Holding the Radiant Sun Sword he had refined himself, Jiang Chen slowly walked toward Elder Qiu and Elder Han.

Jiang Chen didn’t stop as he passed Zuo Siming.

Zuo Siming’s body, however, trembled violently.

A dazed look flickered in his eyes.

He kept muttering, “This is impossible… impossible…”

He handed his Radiant Sun Sword to Elder Qiu.

“Elder Qiu, please verify what grade of Magical Treasure this is that I have refined.”

By now, even a fool could tell that Jiang Chen had refined a Treasure Artifact.

In front of so many people, it would be impossible for Elder Qiu to cheat, even if he wanted to.

If Jiang Chen had refined a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact, there might have been a chance to cheat. But now, the truth was plain to see, and no one could fake it.

Elder Qiu composed himself.

He took Jiang Chen’s Radiant Sun Sword and channeled his Cultivation Power into it.

He didn’t even need to activate it. The Radiant Sun Sword erupted with a dazzling, astonishingly brilliant light.

The aura of a Lower-Grade Treasure Artifact was completely exposed.

HUMMM…

The treasured sword vibrated without end.

Elder Qiu took a deep breath.

There was no need for further verification. One could tell just by looking that this Magical Treasure was at least a Treasure Artifact.

He immediately announced loudly, “This is a Lower-Grade Treasure Artifact.”

“Congratulations, Jiang Chen.”

As soon as he said this, the entire venue erupted into an uproar once again.

Seeing it was one thing, but having it acknowledged by an elder of the Artifact Refiner Guild was another matter entirely.

Now, it was confirmed without a doubt: Jiang Chen had refined a Treasure Artifact, a Lower-Grade Treasure Artifact.

“What a monster.”

“This kid is even more incredible than Zuo Siming.”

“I bet he’s on par with the genius refiner Ao Xue.”

“Another genius Artifact Refiner has burst onto the scene.”

The crowd was full of endless praise.

Previously, no one had favored Jiang Chen, but now, with the truth before them, people felt nothing but shock and admiration.

No one wanted to mock such a genius; they could only offer him endless praise.

The situation was a complete reversal of what it had been before.

Meanwhile, Zuo Siming was trembling uncontrollably.

He was on the verge of tears.

What Jiang Chen had refined was a Treasure Artifact. Even a Lower-Grade Treasure Artifact was still a Treasure Artifact.

It was on a completely different level from the Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact he had refined.

A crushing defeat. He had been utterly crushed.

Zuo Siming was in a panic, his legs shaking.

But he forced himself to endure it.

Elder Qiu passed the Radiant Sun Sword to Elder Han.

Elder Han gave Jiang Chen a very complicated look.

He, too, verified it in the end.

Then he nodded and said, “Jiang Chen, congratulations. You have now entered the ranks of Two-Star Refiners. You’re already on equal footing with people like us.”

“Your future potential is limitless. Keep it up.”

Jiang Chen nodded. “Thank you, Elder Han.”

With that, Elder Han took the opportunity to announce, “In this competition between Zuo Siming and Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen is the victor.”

BOOM!

The crowd cheered once again.

But while some were overjoyed, others were distraught.

The members of the Zuo Family were all dumbfounded.

They stood there, stunned as if struck by lightning.

They stared blankly at Zuo Siming on the stage.

The genius of their Zuo Family had lost.

“This…”

“How could this happen?”

“The Young Master… he lost. This blow must be devastating for him.”

Someone suddenly exclaimed, “Oh no! He signed a life-and-death agreement before the competition!”

“This is big trouble! Quick, inform the Clan Leader!”

“Prepare to rescue the Young Master!”

Someone immediately rushed to the Zuo Family estate to inform Patriarch Zuo.

Upon hearing Elder Han’s announcement, Zuo Siming nearly lost his footing and collapsed.

He was a master of the Martial Arts Sect Third Heaven, after all, but at this moment, he had suffered an immense blow.

He had been so full of confidence before, but now he had been defeated by Jiang Chen.

The contrast was so great it destabilized his state of mind.

His conviction shattered completely.

“No, this is impossible…”

“I can’t lose! I won’t lose!”

Then, he suddenly rushed in front of Elder Qiu and Elder Han.

He roared with a heart-wrenching cry, “Elder Qiu, tell me it’s not like this!”

“It’s absolutely not like this, right?”

‘This isn’t real. It has to be fake,’ he thought.

Elder Qiu looked at Zuo Siming and shook his head slightly. “Zuo Siming, it is real.”

BOOM!

Zuo Siming’s whole body shuddered violently, and he almost couldn’t stay on his feet.

His eyes wild with madness, he turned to look at Elder Han.

“Elder Han, this isn’t real, is it?”

Elder Han said indifferently, “Zuo Siming, you lost.”

In that instant, Zuo Siming’s eyes turned red.

He stumbled backward repeatedly.

He glared at Elder Qiu and Elder Han with a resentful look.

“Neither of you is helping me.”

At the same time, he looked at Jiang Chen.

His gaze was even more venomous.

“You’re all lying to me.”

“You’ve all conspired to deceive me, Zuo Siming!”

“Our Zuo Family will not let any of you go!”

He was already starting to rave nonsensically.

For a genius to be defeated is a massive blow.

Zuo Siming simply couldn’t withstand such a blow. He had always been the genius of the Zuo Family, the one everyone fawned over.

Everyone flattered him, catered to him.

But today, he had lost.

He couldn’t accept the fact that he had lost.

Moreover, his loss meant he had to commit suicide in public.

This threw his mind into even greater turmoil.

Jiang Chen held the Radiant Sun Sword he had refined.

He looked at Zuo Siming.

“Zuo Siming, you lost.”

“Do you remember our bet?”

“The life-and-death agreement. The loser commits suicide.”

“Please honor your promise and commit suicide.”

Before, when Zuo Siming had been relentlessly pressuring him, Jiang Chen had remained unmoved.

Now, it was Jiang Chen’s turn to have the upper hand.

If he had lost, Zuo Siming wouldn’t have spared him.

Now that he had won, he naturally wouldn’t spare Zuo Siming, a man who had been determined to see him dead.

Reality was just that cruel and real.

Zuo Siming shook his head.

“No, Jiang Chen, I haven’t lost.”

“I will not admit defeat.”

“A life-and-death agreement? Heh, what’s that?”

As he spoke, Zuo Siming suddenly took out his copy of the life-and-death agreement.

He abruptly crumpled it into a ball, and then, in front of everyone, actually stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it viciously a few times, and swallowed it.

Then he spread his hands mockingly and sneered, “Life-and-death agreement? I don’t know anything about that.”

Seeing Zuo Siming act like this left the onlookers completely stunned.

They all felt that Zuo Siming’s previous image as a genius had instantly crumbled.

Their entire worldview was shattered.

Not only was Zuo Siming a sore loser, but he had also shamelessly swallowed the life-and-death agreement.

“How shameless!”

“I was wrong about him. He’s not a genius, he’s a scoundrel.”

“This just redefines my understanding of genius. I can’t believe someone could be this shameless.”

“Pah! How disgusting.”

The crowd began to curse at Zuo Siming.

Jiang Chen was also getting angry.

Pointing at Zuo Siming, he said, “You are utterly shameless.”

But Zuo Siming paid him no mind.

Instead, he let out a few wild laughs.

“Haha! So what, Jiang Chen? What can you do to me?”

“Come on, kill me!”

“If you have the guts, then come and kill me.”
