“Alright, I believe in you.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon said kindly with a smile, then respectfully addressed Fang Zixi, “Palace Master, you may begin.”
“Hmm.” Fang Zixi nodded her head, then looked down at Tan Yun, Chu Wuhen, and Ancestral Kun Tian, saying, “This palace master announces that the first round of the device techniques tournament has officially begun!”
“Palace Master, I’ll answer!”
“Palace Master, I’ll answer!”
“Palace Master’s disciple will answer!”
The first voice belonged to Ancestral Kun Tian, the second to Tan Yun, and the third to Chu Wuhen. However, the difference was that Ancestral Kun Tian’s voice carried a dragon’s roar, which was particularly deafening and completely overshadowed Tan Yun and Chu Wuhen’s voices.
Tan Yun and Chu Wuhen’s expressions changed drastically, thinking to themselves, this is bad!
There was no doubt that Tan Yun, Chu Wuhen, and Ancestral Kun Tian were not ordinary individuals. Tan Yun wanted to take a gamble by answering before Fang Zixi presented the refining materials, but Chu Wuhen and Ancestral Kun Tian had the same idea!
It was clear that both Tan Yun and Chu Wuhen, being only saint level dao divine artifact masters, understood that their skills in device techniques were inferior to that of low-level dao king artifact master Ancestral Kun Tian. The two valued the opportunity to identify the materials in the first round of the tournament because they knew it was the easiest round. If it went to the second round, it would be very difficult for them to surpass Ancestral Kun Tian.
In the third round, which involved refining magic treasures, they had no hope of winning at all!
Ancestral Kun Tian glanced at the pale-faced Chu Wuhen and said lightly, “Sorry, although we answered almost simultaneously, unfortunately, you are only at the ninth layer of the dao god realm, while this young master is at the eighth level of the dao king realm.”
“This young master is stronger than you, and my voice is much louder than yours, so the speed of its transmission is much greater. Even if you spoke first, the first voice to reach the palace master’s ears would not be yours, but this young master’s!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Wuhen gritted his teeth, trembling with anger. He knew Ancestral Kun Tian was not wrong!
After glancing at the glum-faced Chu Wuhen, Ancestral Kun Tian looked at Tan Yun, who also appeared displeased, and smiled lightly, “What I said to Chu Wuhen applies to you as well.”
“Just because you’re a mere bug at the fifth level of the ancestral king realm, you think you can stand on the same competition stage as this young master? What a joke!”
Tan Yun coldly stared at Ancestral Kun Tian but did not respond.
At that moment, Tan Yun was thinking rapidly about the upcoming competition, musing, “In the second round of the device techniques tournament, we will compete to identify magic treasures. I am only a saint level dao divine artifact master, and this brute is a low-level dao king artifact master, making it hard for me to win against him.”
“As for the third round, I can only refine supreme dao divine artifacts, while he can refine low-quality dao king artifacts. I will undoubtedly lose.”
“Moreover, the fourth round is the talismans art contest, and the first round will also likely be a quick answer. With my lower realm, my voice transmission speed is not as fast as Shangguan Yuxin and Ancestral Vine Jade. If the three of us answer at the same time, I still won’t have a chance!”
“I currently have one hundred honor points. Even if I win the second round of the fourth contest, my total honor points will only be one hundred twenty-five. In the third round of the talismans art contest, we will compete based on the quality of the talismans made.”
“I can only refine supreme dao god talismans, while Ancestral Vine Jade can refine low-quality dao king talismans, meaning I’m bound to lose!”
“What to do... what should I do…”
