A storm suddenly erupted, and countless refiners in Tian Gong were stirred up, like a whirlwind that quickly spread throughout the entire Artifact God Island, causing an uproar.
It should be noted that the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm had not seen such a major event in a long time. Although there were often closed battles among elders and stewards on the duel stage to improve themselves, those were merely sparring sessions without much topic of discussion.
Now, Elder Longyuan had actively challenged the newly appointed acting vice hall master, Qin Chen, which was far more exciting than any sparring between two elders.
Even a confrontation between two half-step heaven venerables wouldn’t incite such excitement among everyone.
Elder Longyuan was an established elder of Tian Gong.
Qin Chen, an external holy son in Tian Gong, had inexplicably achieved a great feat and was brought to the Heavenly Work Headquarters, where he was inexplicably appointed as the acting vice hall master, drawing the displeasure of countless elders.
Elder Longyuan's actions were essentially standing up for many elders present.
The news was so explosive that it spread through the entire Artifact God Island almost instantly. Anyone not in closed-door cultivation among the Tian Gong elders quickly learned about the matter.
“What? Elder Longyuan is challenging the new acting vice hall master Qin Chen?
Are they going to have a major battle on the Artifact God Island duel stage?”
“Are you kidding me!”
“Elder Longyuan is a seasoned elder, a Peak Earth Venerable. Although he hasn’t stepped into the half-step heaven venerable realm, he possesses the combat power of a Peak Earth Venerable. Ordinary Peak Earth Venerables are no match for him. Isn’t Qin Chen being too reckless?”
“Haha, it’s not that Qin Chen is reckless; it’s that Elder Longyuan has forced him into a corner. How can Qin Chen refuse?
If he doesn’t agree, he will be laughed at by all the experts in Tian Gong, and he will become a joke as the acting vice hall master.”
“Don’t say being the acting vice hall master is a joke; even if he really has the ability to break through to the heaven venerable realm and become the real vice hall master, it would still be a blemish on his life.”
“So, he can only agree.”
“No wonder… it turns out he was forced into this.”
“Forced?
You probably don’t know, but Qin Chen not only accepted Elder Longyuan’s challenge but also proactively offered to guide all the elders present, with a bet of one million contribution points for each. I think he’s gone mad.”
“One million contribution points?
Isn’t that the price of an earth venerable treasure artifact?
This kid is too arrogant, a madman, truly a madman!”
“Reckless!”
“Conceited!”
“Arrogant!”
The elders of Tian Gong, who were already displeased with Qin Chen becoming the acting vice hall master, felt even more that this genius had gone crazy and his confidence had exceeded all bounds!
To be honest, they had some understanding of Qin Chen; he was an earth venerable expert.
For an external holy son, reaching such a realm without the resources of Tian Gong was almost impossible, yet Qin Chen had achieved it and was appointed as the acting vice hall master.
Regardless of the reasons for this appointment, the elders of Tian Gong still respected Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable and believed that he would never make such an appointment without reason. This kid must have some extraordinary qualities.
However, no matter how extraordinary he was, he could not possibly be Elder Longyuan’s opponent.
This child was definitely a genius, but he was also undoubtedly overly confident, incredibly arrogant, reckless, and madly ambitious.
Tian Gong had many top talents; who hadn’t seen them?
Let alone seeing them, anyone who could become a Tian Gong elder was not an ordinary person.
Who among them hadn’t gone through countless trials and tribulations?
In other words, weren’t all the elders present once outstanding figures in their youth?
