Chapter 1946 - 1943: Lost?
"There really is a treasure, and it’s a Divine Crystal. This Tuoba Tianci’s luck isn’t bad."
Ouyang Mingfei’s eyes flickered.
Beside him, Huang Fuqian snorted softly.
The Ten Thousand Thunder Saint let out a sigh of relief. Having cut out a Divine Crystal, he believed they had won.
His piece of red Divine Crystal was secured, and he figured the opposition would obediently leave Murong Qingcheng’s side.
As Tuoba Tianci’s movements became faster, a sparkling Divine Crystal appeared before everyone.
At this moment, the numerous Martial Artists, Saint Heirs, Saintesses, and Great Powers present, including the two grandmothers from Yaochi Sacred Land, were all astonished.
Everyone focused their concentration on the spectacle ahead.
Truly worthy of being a young Heavenly Pride, the First Spiritual Seeker, with such terrifying talent and strength.
Indeed, the number of people who could cut out a Divine Crystal is very few, and Tuoba Tianci seems to be only around thirty years old.
Achieving such feats at that age is truly shocking.
Exclamations of awe resounded, and Tuoba Tianci lifted his chin proudly, looking down in all directions.
All of this was within his expectations.
Then, he looked down at Lin Xuan and said in a cold voice, "Kid, how about it? You see my strength now."
"Compared to me, you can’t possibly win. So now, kneel before me and kowtow, admit your mistakes!"
"What’s there to brag about? So what if you cut out a Divine Crystal? What’s the big deal?"
"It’s not like I haven’t cut one out before."
"And look at the size of your Divine Crystal; it’s not even as big as the one I previously cut." Lin Xuan sneered.
Indeed, the Divine Crystal Tuoba Tianci cut out was smaller by two circles than Lin Xuan’s previous one.
"Hmph, keep being stubborn!"
"Last time you managed to cut out a Divine Crystal purely because you were lucky. I don’t believe you can do it again this time."
"Your stone is just a Waste Stone. Just wait and weep!"
At this point, not only him, but everyone around also looked at Lin Xuan.
Because they were very curious about what kind of Treasure Lin Xuan could yield from such a major commotion.
Hehe, the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint squinted, his eyes gleaming.
"Kid, hurry up and leave the Fairy’s side, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action!"
"Brother Xuan."
Murong Qingcheng was also worried, a hint of concern in her beautiful eyes.
She didn’t expect Tuoba Tianci to be so remarkable, able to easily cut out a Divine Crystal.
"Don’t worry, I won’t lose to him." Lin Xuan reassured her.
He chose that one-meter-high stone for a reason.
Although he didn’t notice any glow inside at first.
He inferred that there should be a treasure inside because he felt a disturbing aura emanating from it.
It was as if something terrifying was inside the rock.
Even at that time, his Great Dragon Sword Soul began to operate on its own when he encountered the stone.
This was something Lin Xuan had never experienced before.
Therefore, he chose the stone without hesitation.
Because he too wanted to see what could stir the Great Dragon Sword Soul within it.
Crack, crack!
The cracks in the stone grew wider, but no light emerged.
Seeing this, Tuoba Tianci and the disciples of the Tuoba Family grew more complacent.
"I told you, it’s definitely a Waste Stone!"
"You didn’t believe, look, no light is coming out!"
"This kid can’t match up to my big brother Tuoba Tianci."
Tuoba Tianci smirked with disdain, this scene was within his expectations.
The Ten Thousand Thunder Saint snorted coldly; he knew he was bound to win this time.
Ouyang Mingfei and Huang Fuqian frowned; this can’t be right!
Could it be they truly misjudged?
Lin Xuan, however, remained unusually calm as the one-meter-high stone in front of him developed more and more cracks.
Crack, crack, crack!
Finally, the entire stone shattered all over the ground.
"Nothing?" Murong Qingcheng’s expression turned grave, unable to believe he would fail.
"Kid, you’ve lost. Kneel down and apologize now!" Tuoba Tianci sneered.
The Ten Thousand Thunder Saint scoffed, "From now on, stay away from the Yaochi Saintess, or I’ll kill you myself!"
The surrounding disciples of the Tuoba Family also began to mock.
However, Lin Xuan snorted coldly: "Who says I’ve lost, who says I’ve cut out nothing?"
"Open your eyes wide and see what this is!"
With that, Lin Xuan swung his sleeve, causing the scattered fragments to roll away, revealing what was inside.
"What is this?"
Everyone was puzzled; they found there was indeed something among the rubble, but it was different from what they imagined.
It wasn’t a Crystal Stone at all, but a claw.
It was a claw as large as a human’s hand, hairy, covered with green fur.
And it had three sharp nails.
"Is this a Demon Beast’s claw?"
"A broken claw dares to be so arrogant."
"Even if you give it away, no one would want it! And you want to compare this to my big brother Tuoba Tianci’s Divine Crystal? It’s hilarious!"
"Kid, I think your brain must be waterlogged; this thing is trash!"
Tuoba Tianci also sneered: "Exactly, it’s just a piece of garbage. Surely you don’t think it can compare to my Divine Crystal?"
But before his words finished, an elderly man with white hair suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
His figure flickered as he reached the Waste Stone, utterly excited.
He stared intently at the small claw on the ground.
"What have I seen? It really is this thing!"
What’s the matter, the crowd was dumbfounded.
This elder was exceptionally aged, with hair almost reaching his heels, but his aura was unusually strong, like a Heaven and Earth Fire Furnace, burning fiercely.
Whoosh!
Just then, another elder appeared.
His hair was as disheveled as a bird’s nest, his clothing tattered and ancient, like an antique.
However, his gaze was exceedingly sharp, like two Heavenly Blades, instantly piercing the Void.
"Heavens, it really is this thing!"
The elder with the bird’s nest hair was even more excited, directly kneeling to press his face to the ground, examining the small green claw closely.
Oh my gosh, what’s happening?
Everyone was flabbergasted, unable to comprehend.
These were two living fossil-level elders, and even the Great Powers treated them with utmost respect.
Yet here, such powerful figures were losing themselves completely.
And all because of a small green claw.
Moreover, this green claw was previously despised by everyone, considered to be nothing but waste.
"Young man, did you cut out this item?"
The two living fossil elders stared at Lin Xuan, their eyes flickering like Divine Fire.
"Yes."
Lin Xuan felt goosebumps under their gaze but nodded nonetheless.
"How about selling it to me? I’ll offer two Divine Crystals!"
