[Description: A fragment of ‘Mirror of Bewitchment’, one of the three heritage artifacts (Epic Level) of the Sun Tribe, its power doesn’t even make up one percent of the main body.]
Zheng Cheng weighed this prismatic fragment, frowning and saying: “The Sun Tribe? The inferior, right? A fragment of Mirror of Bewitchment, one of the three heritage artifacts of the Inferior Tribe…”
“It carries four skills, only the first one, Bewitching Light, is usable.”
“The rest three are all banned, and even the fourth skill is just a row of question marks.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, quite disgusted, and threw it into the spatial ring.
Who would have known that instantly a ripple flashed past, the Mirror of Bewitchment fragment was still in his hand.
“Huh?”
His eyes popped wide open: “It can’t be stored?”
“Could it be because the Mirror of Bewitchment is an epic-level equipment, even if it’s just a fragment, the spatial ring’s grade is too low to store it?”
Zheng Cheng helplessly put it in his pocket.
Only the first skill of this stuff is useful, which should be the key to the Inferior Tribe’s ‘Billion Jade Shards Plan’.
Otherwise, how could so many Inferiors charge and fight like madmen!
After putting away the Mirror of Bewitchment, Zheng Cheng once again took up his Yunxiao Sword and began to patrol the battlefield.
He was looking for the Inferior Tribe’s professionists, and after finding them, he first cut off their left ears, then used the random dissection technique to dissect the most useful parts of their bodies.
Soon, he gathered 30 tentacles, 20 brain marrow, and 20 hearts.
And he got more than a dozen extra.
Looking at a pile of gross Inferior body tissues, Zheng Cheng subconsciously felt a little nauseous.
Can these things really be eaten?
But seeing the four-dimensional attributes and special resistances provided by the Inferior materials, Zheng Cheng gritted his teeth.
Exiting the spatial ring in spirit, it seems that he would have to think of a way when he gets back.
“Hmm…” Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up suddenly, “I remember after dissecting the half-beast men, I gained the feature of the half-beast men’s DNA structure, omnivorous.”
“With this DNA structure feature, I can digest anything…”
“Should I incorporate the DNA of the half-beast men into my body so that…”
“No way!”
After thinking for a while, Zheng Cheng still shook his head.
He is of pure Han descent, incorporating half-beast men’s DNA would make him a hybrid, wouldn’t it?
Another sword was swung out, and the random dissection technique was performed at the same time.
[Skill performance successful!]
[You’ve obtained a special ingredient: Inferior’s Brain Marrow.]
[You’ve obtained an Inferior DNA molecule.]
[You’ve obtained a complete Inferior DNA molecular structure, your damage to the Inferior Tribe is permanently increased by 10%]
[You’ve obtained a complete Inferior DNA molecular structure, its feature: Turtle Shinobi.]
[Turtle Shinobi: You have great tolerance, waiting for the enemy to reveal flaws before delivering the final blow. At the same time, your body will slowly mutate physical organs and blood to adapt to the current environment.]
[You’ve obtained a complete Inferior DNA molecular structure, which you can duplicate at any time by consuming spirit and physic points.]
“The Inferior Tribe’s DNA molecular structure feature, Turtle Shinobi? It really suits them…”
Just as he was saying this, from the dense cloud in the sky, countless stars began to seep through.
The newcomers who were still collecting spoils of war on the battlefield looked up subconsciously.
“Look up at the sky, what’s that?”
“Star Locking Array! That’s Lord Xin Ruhuo’s Star Locking Array!”
“Is it over?”
“Is the assessment over?”
“Are we going back?”
“Great!”
“When I get back, I am going to get drunk for several days!”
“Me too, hahaha…”
Accompanied by the laughter of the newcomers on the battlefield, a teleportation charm suddenly burned in front of all of them.
The next second, bright flames burned in front of them engulfing everyone’s figures, making them disappear.
But at this moment, Zheng Cheng’s gaze seemed a bit strange.
The teleportation charm in front of him was burning, but there were no bright white lights.
What replaced it was a pale blue light beam shot down from the sky!
“This is…”
He looked surprised, instinctively looking towards the battlefield.
Amongst the dense bright white lights there were two additional pale blue light beams clearly visible.
“Special teleportation light beams? Seems like I am not the only one…”
After an indeterminate amount of time, the chaotic light before Zheng Cheng finally dissipated.
A gentle white light filled his eyes, and whispers could be heard in his ears.
He opened his eyes and found himself standing atop a mountain.
Underfoot were flat bluestone slabs, surrounded by billowing black and yellow clouds.
The wind howled, and sweltering heat enveloped them.
Flowing around the mountain peaks was a dense and blisteringly hot current of lava.
“Zheng Cheng!”
Familiar voices rang out. Turning around, Zheng Cheng saw it was Li Zhen and Zhu Chengyu!
“You’re here too.”
“Hmm.”
Cheng Zheng nodded his head: “Where is this? Who are these people…”
Surrounding them were about forty to fifty individuals who looked no different from them, seeming to be candidates of this joint entrance exam for newly awakened professionals.
Li Zhen said, “I just checked and they all sound like newcomers from other provinces. As to why we’re here…”
He shrugged and added, “I don’t know, maybe it’s something those three elders cooked up.”
Zheng Cheng also nodded, “I guess everyone who’s been able to come here performed exceptionally well in their provincial exams.”
“Or maybe they have something that those three elders are interested in?”
“Perhaps,” Li Zhen agreed. “Huh? Why are they here?”
“Do you know them?”
“I’ve seen them a few times before. Later, our family collected information on them.”
Li Zhen gestured with his eyes to the front where three young men stood, blankly observing their surroundings.
“Those three, from Binhai City, are all nine-star professionals!”
“And those few, from the Imperial Capital, two nine-stars and one seven-star!”
“And the others from Crescent State, one nine-star, one eight-star, and another I don’t recognize.”
Zhu Chengyu suddenly said, “I know a few others too, they’re all high-star newcomers from the military middle school!”
Zheng Cheng was astonished, “So many nine-star professionals?”
Li Zhen shrugged, “Every year our country has at least a million awakening professionals, with twenty to thirty of them being nine-star.”
“But the number of people who can complete nine ascension tasks is extremely small, and most people even fall among the crowd. So what’s so surprising about this?”
“Li Zhen!”
At that moment, the trio from Binhai City noticed Li Zhen. One of them waved and led the others in his direction.
Li Zhen quickly whispered, “The leader of those three is Dongfang Yang, from the Dongfang family in Binhai City. His awakened profession is Nine-star Windstorm Master!”
“The second is a commoner named Shi Feng, a Nine-star Mountain God.”
“I do not know the third one, all I know is that his name is Tong Botao and his profession is a Nine-star Sea Beast Sacrifice!”
As they spoke, Dongfang Yang led Shi Feng and Tong Botao over to Li Zhen and the other two.
“Long time no see.”
Li Zhen also showed a smile, saying, “Indeed, it’s been a long time. Congratulations on awakening as a Nine-star professional.”
Dongfang Yang’s expression remained calm. He only nodded lightly and said, “Anyway, where are Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi, why don’t I see them?”
This time, the three elders decided to have an additional general knowledge test, selecting the best three professionists from seventeen provinces that completed the tributary task for examination; I thought it would be your trio.”
“These two…”
“An additional general knowledge test?”
The three of them looked at each other. Suppressing his confusion, Li Zhen introduced, “This is Zheng Cheng, and this is Zhu Chengyu.”
“Selecting the top three… I also do not know the criteria that the three elders used for selection.”
He didn’t know anything about this, but he refused to show weakness in front of Dongfang Yang, so he introduced the other two.
“Zheng Cheng?”
Dongfang Yang looked Zheng Cheng up and down, nodded and said, “Nice to meet you.”
Unable to come up with any high-professionals named ‘Zheng Cheng’ from Qinzhou Province, he turned to Zhu Chengyu and extended his hand.
“Zhu Chengyu, a nine-star Dragon Knight? Nice to meet you.”
Zhu Chengyu nodded but didn’t shake his hand, simply responding, “Hello.”
Li Zhen and Zheng Cheng shared a smirk and raised their thumbs at Zhu Chengyu out of sight.
The light in Dongfang Yang’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
He casually withdrew his hand and made a small talk diversion, “What was your tributary item in Qin State? I heard it was only destroyed on the last day?”
Having been snubbed by Zhu Chengyu, Dongfang Yang casually asked.
“Blood Guanyin,” Li Zhen replied, “What about you guys?”
“World Sculpture!”
Dongfang Yang clenched his fist, “On the eighth day, we took down the World Sculpture.”
“The one they faced in the Imperial Captial, Zhou Xinyu and his team, was the General Figurine, which they only defeated on the ninth day.”
“Most of the other provinces also completed their tasks on the ninth day. You guys did well to just scrape by.”
“What do you mean?” Li Zhen asked, frowning.
“Nothing.”
Dongfang Yang nonchalantly shrugged, “Just wanted to know the details about how you defeated the Blood Guanyin. After all, these tributary items are somewhat like the weaker world bosses.”
Li Zhen shook his head, “No comment. How about you share how you guys defeated the World Sculpture?”
Laughing, Dongfang Yang said, “You’re just the same as before, can’t take a joke.”
“By the way, since you guys completed your task, presumably one of the three great artifacts of the Inferior Tribe, the Fragment of the Mirror of Illusion, is in your hands.”
“Name your price. I want that Fragment of the Mirror of Illusion!”
