Chapter 894: Chapter 893: Divine Appraiser, Crushing Victory!
Facing the challenge from the opportunistic Hong Mei, Ye Chen did not refuse.
Let’s compete then, who’s afraid of whom.
“Brother Ye, you just used your pupil technique to appraise the divine stone, naturally it must have been taxing, there’s no need to continue competing with her,” Yi’an said.
Hong Mei immediately interrupted, shouting loudly, “Ye Chen, you hardly used your pupil technique earlier, so you haven’t expended much energy, and you’ve already agreed. How could you renege? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for being untrustworthy?!”
Ye Chen: ???
Yi’an simply said a sentence, yet in Hong Mei’s mouth, it meant I wanted to go back on my word?
This woman, truly dramatic!
Hong Mei suddenly raised her head, looking at a middle-aged man in the sky, she clasped her hands in salute and said, “Greetings, Envoy Ouyang of the Martial Alliance.”
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and, with a flash of his figure, flew over.
Hong Mei said, “Envoy Ouyang, I will definitely retrieve the holy sword!”
The middle-aged man said indifferently, “I only helped gift the sword to you, you misplaced it yourself, there’s no need to say anything further to me.”
Hong Mei bit her lip lightly.
The problem is obvious; when Envoy Ouyang helped gift the holy sword, he was extremely enthusiastic, but now his attitude is cold.
It seems that using the holy sword given by the expert from the Inner Sea for wagering has already displeased him. When I enter the Inner Sea, I might face the wrath of the senior who bestowed the sword.
Therefore…
Whatever happens, I must retrieve the holy sword!
Hong Mei bowed deeply and said, “Envoy Ouyang, I merely hope that you would bear witness for me. If I win against Ye Chen later, I hope you can ensure fairness!”
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then nodded.
He Chen, a prominent figure from Island No.1, who just suffered a loss at Ye Chen’s hands, also immediately spoke: “The maiden suffered because she assisted a member of the He Family in a wager, now she wants to compete once more, if I merely stand by, that would be unjust.”
Implicitly.
He too wishes to intervene.
Hong Mei immediately showed an expression of gratitude, “Elder He is indeed as noble as the rumors suggest!”
Ye Chen: “…Shall we proceed with the competition?”
Hong Mei sneered, “Ye Chen, this time, we will compete directly using pupil techniques. If you lose, return my holy sword. If I lose… I am at your disposal!”
A subtle curve appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth, and in the next moment, deep within his pupils, points of intense golden light erupted instantly.
An invisible force surged forth, enveloping Hong Mei.
In the next moment.
Hong Mei began to shout frantically, repeatedly forming hand seals, her eyes emitted beams of light, aimlessly unleashing Divine Techniques’ clairvoyant powers.
The surrounding crowd: “…”
This one-on-one pupil technique duel hadn’t even truly started before it was already over.
The outcome was decided.
Hong Mei, who possessed the Divine Techniques’ clairvoyant power, had completely fallen into Ye Chen’s pupil technique illusion.
Everyone was astounded.
Exclamations arose one after another.
“Ye Chen’s pupil technique conjured illusions are terrifying… without any sign at all…”
“Clairvoyant, although a relatively strong pupil technique Divine Technique, its characteristic focuses on seeing through illusions, yet Ye Chen’s pupil technique completely crushed Hong Mei’s clairvoyant.”
“Unbelievable, I thought there would be a fascinating duel of pupil techniques, yet unexpectedly, there was no suspense at all. No wonder Ye Chen could aid Yi’an in winning the wager, he truly has real skills, his appraisal of the divine stone that revealed divinely medicinal seeds was no mere stroke of luck!”
“Amazing, truly amazing, what exactly is this pupil technique?”
“I believe his pupil technique has surpassed the realm of Secret Technique, very likely like Hong Mei’s, a Divine Technique. However, Ye Chen’s pupil technique Divine Technique is several levels stronger than Hong Mei’s clairvoyant!”
“Clairvoyant, if further cultivated in the Inner Sea, holds a certain hope of becoming an Earth Tier Divine Appraiser. This Ye Chen’s pupil technique Divine Technique is multiple levels higher than clairvoyant… doesn’t that imply he has hope of becoming a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser?”
The crowd was completely stirred.
Most gazes towards Ye Chen became fervent.
A Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser in the Inner Sea stands at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Every Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser is sought after by top-tier experts from various domains within the Inner Sea.
Fang Cun, the master of Island No. 99, was also amidst the crowd, somewhat struck dumb.
It now seemed that betting on Ye Chen was the correct decision indeed!
“Congratulations, Isle Master Fang.”
“Everyone can see that Ye Chen is someone who values relationships; when he reaches prominence in the Inner Sea, as his martial uncle, Isle Master Fang is bound to reap innumerable benefits. In the future, we must bear the favor of Isle Master Fang.”
Individuals like He Chen, He Xun, Zhang Qi, and Li Meng, all looked immensely displeased.
Ye Chen’s pupil technique talent… is incredibly high!
He shows promise of becoming a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser!
Especially Zhang Qi and Li Meng, who not long ago had mocked Ye Chen relentlessly… now they finally realized the gap between themselves and Ye Chen.
To put it harshly.
On this path of becoming a Divine Appraiser, even if Ye Chen were to fart, they’d have no place to partake!
“Not too discreet, huh?” At this moment, Ye Chen, under the scrutiny of countless fervent gazes, sighed inwardly.
But… it’s alright.
Being too discreet isn’t beneficial either.
Furthermore, the current prominence isn’t reflected in combat prowess, meaning my trump cards remain unknown.
As for the Divine Appraiser role… Ye Chen heard from Fang Cun yesterday.
In Celestial Burial Sea, there’s a group of people dedicated to appraising divine stones.
Divine Appraisers are divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, similar to the classification in cultivation techniques and martial arts legacy.
Figures like Zhang Qi and Li Meng aren’t even Yellow-tier Divine Appraisers.
Hong Mei, with her clairvoyant powers, does possess Yellow-tier Divine Appraiser level, but one needs to enter the Inner Sea to partake in assessments to earn the corresponding title.
Divine Appraisers are a unique group in Celestial Burial Sea, holding a prominent status.
Ye Chen pondered for a while, realizing his thoughts had wandered far, quickly pulling back his mind, quietly controlling his pupil power, to orchestrate illusions and jest with Hong Mei.
Hong Mei, trapped within the illusion, remained oblivious.
“Ye Chen, you can’t possibly defeat me, hahaha, aren’t you struggling to hold on?”
“Ah!”
“Why, He Chen, you old thing, what are you trying to do…”
“He Chen, let go of me…”
“Ahhhh…”
“He Xun, you… don’t!”
Hong Mei, within the illusion, uttered all sorts of cries.
Everyone had peculiar expressions.
What exactly had Ye Chen conjured in this illusion?
He Chen and He Xun both glared at Ye Chen, eyes seemingly ablaze.
“Hem!” Yi’an coughed lightly, “Brother Ye…”
Ye Chen stated seriously, “My illusion can evoke specific imagery based on individual thoughts, thus Hong Mei’s current predicament in the illusion bears no direct relation to me.”
The crowd: “…”
“Ye Chen, enough is enough,” stated the Sea Serpent Saint Venerable, master of Island No.1.
Seeing as most gathered here are notable figures from this sea zone, hearing Hong Mei’s embarrassing utterances is truly inappropriate.
Ye Chen nodded, the pupil power in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Hong Mei finally broke free from the illusion.
Her face was flushed.
She was panting heavily.
With a lingering gaze, she looked at He Chen and He Xun near her…
Next she fixed her gaze on Ye Chen and shouted, “Ye Chen, you’ve already lost, just now you begged me for mercy, everyone present saw it clearly.
The facts prove your pupil technique is utterly laughable before my clairvoyant Divine Technique.
According to our wager, you must now return my holy sword!”
The crowd: “…”
Ye Chen smiled lightly and looked at He Chen who wanted to leave, and said, “Since you vowed to maintain fairness from the start, don’t leave so hastily, tell her.”
