Chapter 418: Kong Xuan Blocks the Road, the New Era’s “Emperor Artifact”
Glancing at Kong Xuan in front of him, Chen Changsheng responded indifferently.
“I still have things to do, so let’s cut to the chase—who do you want to challenge among the three of us?”
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng’s companions, Hu Tudou and Ye Yongxian.
“Changsheng’s friend is the first ten-crown champion in the academy’s history.”
“This kind of talent can be called legendary. I wonder if Changsheng’s friend could impart some teachings?”
“Not really. Why do you think you would pick me?”
“I’m in a good mood lately and don’t want you to ruin it.”
Just then, Sui Feng walked over from a distance.
Seeing Sui Feng’s arrival, Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up, and he smiled.
“Better late than never. You can handle your family’s affairs on your own.”
Hearing this, Sui Feng directly approached Kong Xuan.
“Let’s change locations. I don’t want to fight here.”
“Sui Feng, I…”
“Whatever you have to say, you can say it after you defeat me.”
Looking at Sui Feng, Kong Xuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan smiled slightly and said, “Very well, it’s time for you to see what the true world is like.”
After finishing, he turned to Chen Changsheng.
“Changsheng’s friend, I have prepared a few surprises for you. I hope you will like them.”
As the words fell, Kong Xuan and Sui Feng flew off to battle in the distance.
After they left, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows.
“Playing with formations in front of me is a bit of a misstep.”
Saying this, he stomped his foot, and countless silver formation patterns instantly shattered.
As the formation collapsed, three silhouettes walked out.
“Tsk tsk!”
“The true disciples of the academy have been invited out; this is quite a show.”
“These three will take care of you. I’m going to get some fresh air; I didn’t sleep well last night, and my head is a bit dizzy.”
With that, Chen Changsheng walked away, hands behind his back.
Only Ye Yongxian and Hu Tudou remained to face the three true disciples of the academy, who were two women and one man.
One of the women was a prodigy of the Jiaolong clan, particularly renowned as the eight-crown champion, Tu Jiao Jiao.
The other woman was a human prodigy, Jiang Ling.
When she was in the academy, she also caused quite a stir, being another eight-crown champion.
Seeing these two women, Ye Yongxian’s usually calm eyes stirred.
“Take care of those two; you deal with the remaining one.”
Upon hearing Ye Yongxian’s words, Hu Tudou’s eyes flashed with disdain.
He knew a bit about this Changsheng’s temperament.
Though he disliked such behavior, since it was a willing engagement, he didn’t want to say too much.
Thinking this, Hu Tudou waved at the remaining male disciple, saying, “Be quick about it; once I’m done, I’ve got to make breakfast for the young master!”
…
On the rooftop of the Scripture Vault.
Enjoying the morning breeze and eating a spirit delicacy snatched from a student’s hands, Chen Changsheng wore a smile of happiness.
“You just came back and have turned the academy upside down; this will give the academy a headache.”
“Also, I have class today, and all the students have gone to fight. Who’s going to attend my class?”
A voice sounded beside Chen Changsheng. It was Tu Yi.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at him, responding lightly, “I thought the people in the academy were too bored, so I gave you some things to do.”
“The sour scholar controls the academy and seems like he doesn’t manage anything, but in truth, he has the whole situation under control.”
“Not like some idiots who really don’t care about anything.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng stomped on the rooftop twice, seemingly scolding someone.
Seeing this, Tu Yi smirked, saying, “You’re in a good mood; have you solved the issue?”
“Pretty much.”
“That’s really good news.”
“By the way, do you think this group of kids you picked will win?”
“No.”
Chen Changsheng looked at the battlefield below, remarking blandly, “They’ve just entered the academy, their foundation is too thin; if they can defeat these inner courtyard disciples, it would be a miracle.”
“However, watching these kids fight is too boring; we need to find a few more capable individuals.”
“How about you go out and have a few exchanges?”
Hearing this, Tu Yi waved his hand and said, “That’s not possible. If I intervene, it will definitely escalate the situation.”
“If you really want to escalate things, maybe you could work on Xu Hu.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Xu Hu’s opponent is Ma Guang from the Mighty Donkey Clan, who is also the clan leader’s grandson.”
“The clan leader values this little stubborn donkey greatly, so he carries an Emperor Artifact.”
“Emperor Artifact?”
“Where would the Mighty Donkey Clan get an Emperor Artifact?”
“Given by the Demon Emperor.”
“When the Demon Emperor ruled the world, he waged many wars, the main forces being from the Beast Clan.”
“Faced with such high casualties, the Beast Clan was thrown into chaos.”
“Thus, the Demon Emperor bestowed an Emperor Artifact to the Qingqiu Fox, Mighty Donkey, and Human-faced Bee clans, commanding them to suppress the Beast Clan.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng expressed confusion, “Such a significant matter about the Emperor Artifact, why didn’t I know about it?”
“It’s not the ‘Emperor Artifact’ you imagine. It’s just a weapon casually forged by a Heavenly Mandate Holder.”
“Compared to ordinary magic treasures, these weapons have a hint of imperial might, so their power is extraordinary.”
“Additionally, in this era, Heavenly Mandate Holders are collectively referred to as Emperors.”
“Why is that?”
“Because the titles of the previous three Heavenly Mandate Holders all contain the character ‘Emperor.’”
“So any weapon used or crafted by the Emperors is collectively known as ‘Emperor Artifacts.’”
“It’s not as you understand it with the original weapons of the Heavenly Mandate Holders.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng pulled out a bronze spear and said, “So according to the current definition, is this also an Emperor Artifact?”
Looking at the bronze spear in Chen Changsheng’s hand, Tu Yi exclaimed, “What a fine weapon! Where did you get it?”
“From some guys during the first Ascension Road battle.”
“I’ve kept it around since it seemed a bit useless.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, Tu Yi was first taken aback, then laughed, “That’s right, without the strength at the Immortal King level, how could anyone have the qualifications to be your enemy?”
“Against a foe at the Immortal King level, this thing can indeed only be used for a pinch.”
“But don’t forget, in this era, no Immortal Sovereign has emerged, and those at the Divine Realm reign supreme.”
“Weapons infused with imperial might, not only are they effective against Divine Realm beings, but they also carry certain deterrent power against Immortal Sovereigns.”
“This weapon of yours is stronger than most Emperor Artifacts.”
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded, saying, “As long as it’s usable. I thought these guys actually managed to get the original weapons from the Heavenly Mandate Holders.”
“If that were the case, I’d probably have to run again to borrow some weapons.”
“Whose weapons?”
“The Jade Emperor’s Haotian Mirror, or the Demon Emperor’s Ruyi Stick.”
“If those aren’t an option, I’d have to settle for the Sword God’s saber or the Supreme Saint’s ring.”
Wang Hao: “……”
Is this the confidence of the seasoned powerhouses? They just casually mention borrowing original weapons from Heavenly Mandate Holders or magic treasures comparable to them.
