Chapter 742: Magic Construct Armament [Cold Pudding]
Mo Gui Ji clenched his teeth, doing his utmost to use a racial magic.
He opened his mouth and sprayed – Infernal Flames!
The raging flames charge into Bao Li Gen, stimulating the magic construct armament’s passive defenses.
The magical light shield was thin, but firm, steadily holding back the Infernal Flames. Inside the armament, Bao Li Gen didn’t even feel a touch of it.
“So strong, I am strong!” Bao Li Gen clenched his fists with astonishment, then looked toward the flame shooting Mo Gui Ji.
He lightly extended his index finger.
A moment later, a white light came from the tip of his finger.
The white light that jetted out formed a slender ray that pierced directly into Mo Gui Ji’s body.
The Infernal Flames came to a spontaneous end; Mo Gui Ji’s eyes turned white, and he slowly tilted over and fell backwards onto the ground.
“What is that magic construct armament?!”
“I have never seen it before; it should be a new kind of armament from the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.”
“It was assembled in a split second, that’s incredibly fast.”
“Look, the energy system is unlike the mainstream types!”
“Most crucially, its aura concealment is very good, and before it activated, I couldn’t detect it at all.”
“Parameters, I need its specific parameters!”
In a split second, many transcendents were startled.
Many people left spatial layers and emerged from private spectator rooms.
A number of gold level auras quickly filled the entire dueling arena.
The audience was in an uproar, as they suddenly realized how many gold level transcendents were in the audience.
The Green Ocean Kingdom’s magician Chao Xin’s necklace, Ocean Star, swung from her voluptuous chest.
The Forge Kingdom’s master craftsman dwarf Tie Diao Zha and the kingdom’s head warrior Tie Wan were standing next to each other.
The green skin troll Huang Ya Gou was carrying a spiked wooden club three meters long. He had come from the Wilderness Continent’s Zhu Ya Clan.
The Deciduous College’s wood elf magician Yie Sui Feng was using detection magic.
The Frost Continent’s Lei Yun Clan’s barbarian fighter Lei Kuang had needle-like blue hair, and from time to time, electricity flashed between the tips of his hair.
There was a wandering merman bard from Tide Song Village, Hong Shan Hai Ge, who was holding a shell shaped mirror in one hand and a powder puff in his other that he was using on his face.
Hailing from the Gold Grass Alliance was the grassland elf archer wind walker, Cao Yu. They were holding a one handed sword and looking indifferent.
…
Oh boy, the magic construct armament’s reveal unmasked the countless experts watching.
“As it turns out, there are a ton of state visitors on the island already.” The dragonman youngster sighed.
Those dispatched as envoys were all gold levels with no exceptions.
It wasn’t that these powers didn’t have saint levels, rather saint levels could not be easily mobilized, and unless the Ice Sculpture Kingdom invited them, it would go against the rules.
Saint levels were too powerful and could cause massive damage, thus, one recklessly coming would cause the Ice Sculpture Kingdom to treat them as an enemy harboring malicious intent.
The dueling arena’s master declared the duel finished, and Bao Li Gen was its victor.
“Hmph, relying on the military’s magic construct armament, what’s so terrific about that!” Many of Mo Gui Ji’s supporters were dissatisfied but had to accept the outcome.
After all, duels never prohibited the usage of equipment.
Soon after, a military representative entered the arena, stood next to Bao Li Gen, and loudly presented, “Everyone, I am very honored to introduce my country’s star product, the magic construct armament [Cold Pudding]. It uses my country’s newest developed energy core, the [Whirlpool Energy Sapphire] and abandoning mainstream 221 point energy flow structures, and instead uses my country’s independently developed 741 point flow structure…
The miliary representative’s string of presentations created absolute silence in the arena, everyone was straining to hear what he was saying.
Finally, the military representative said, “This magic construct armament is only available at the gold level, and if anyone is interested, this afternoon, it will be exhibited and available to try out at the capital’s Warm Snow Cup Grand Contest, alongside other products of my country.”
Zi Di’s mind flashed, “The transcendent rank is gold level, this magic construct armament [Cold Pudding] seems to be the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s main high end weapon it is promoting on the international market.”
After saying that, Zi Di looked at the dragonman youngster, her face exposing obvious concern.
“Bao Li Gen might challenge you, Lord Commander.” Zi Di spoke with certainty.
It was not just the dragonman youngster, Zi Di had grown the same too and learned many things from Cang Xu.
Nowadays, her analysis of human nature was also more refined, and when she saw Bao Li Gen controlling the magic construct armament, she immediately detected what would be changing.
Before, Bao Li Gen was not considered a threat, but now, with this military treasure, he naturally held rising killing intent.
Bao Li Gen was almost guaranteed to challenge the dragonman youngster!
An individual like Bao Li Gen exhibited his resentment of the dragonman youngster in his words. He was impulsive, and even if the royal family issued orders, it was difficult to contain his every movement.
After all, this guy was a habitual violator of military orders.
The dragonman youngster nodded, looking calm and collected, “If that happens, Bao Li Gen will indeed become a bother.”
If he was in his fishman form, the young man was still confident he could crush Bao Li Gen.
The dragonman youngster had divine power, magic power, and battle qi, triple gold level cultivation. As for equipment, his were better than Bao Li Gen’s still. Because he had the divine artifact [Mermaid Fairy Tale], and as a divine emissary, he could use the divine artifact’s might to its fullest and fool Bao Li Gen with a mere thought.
But the problem was the fishman form could not be misused, and the divine artifact [Mermaid Fairy Tale] could never be exposed to light.
To participate in the National Ceremony Grand Duel, the young man had to use his dragonman form. It had to do with faith, after all, the masses acknowledged this identity and form.
And if the young man used the fishman form to duel, he would have to start his accumulation of renown anew again. It was too late for this, and he wouldn’t be able to contest for the Dueling Godhead.
When using the dragonman form to fight, the young man could only use battle qi, battle skills, some racial magics, and at best, some equipment and items too.
How could he deal with Bao Li Gen’s magic construct armament like this?
Zi Di wasn’t sure, and the dragonman youngster didn’t know either.
Because he didn’t know how many abilities [Cold Pudding] had.
Zi Di said, “We lack crucial information, but luckily, [Cold Pudding] will be put on display. Furthermore, we can try it out, that will help our judgement of it enormously.”
The dragonman youngster nodded, knowing immediately what was most important, “No need to say anything else, we will return as soon as possible.”
Although he could use the Divine Domain Descent spell to return them both to the capital, the dragonman youngster still chose to use Soldier City’s teleportation formation.
After all, they had teleported to it from the capital.
After returning to the Warm Snow Cup Grand Contest’s exhibition hall, Zi Di and the dragonman youngster found it already packed with people.
Especially the military exhibition hall.
“Information on it has indeed spread quickly.” Zi Di sighed.
The dragonman youngster broke through the crowd, and after negotiating with a related staff member, returned to Zi Di and shook his head, “Too many people, and there is only one magic construction armament to try out. It will take a month before it will be our turn. Perhaps, we can try to find some guild insiders?”
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps already had connections in the Alchemy Guild.
They helped Cai Jing’s faction, and had a close relationship with Elder Shuang Lian, therefore they had a sizeable influence on the Alchemy Guild.
However, their attempt to cut in line using these connections failed.
The military firmly refused, leaving no leeway to talk.
This was easy to understand.
On the one hand, although the military backed duelists stopped attacking the survivors, their relationship hadn’t improved at all.
On the other hand, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was backed by an “arms merchant” and was in the same business. This clashed with the military’s sales plan as both were explicitly competing in the same industry.
Finally, the military naturally would arrange the best customers at the very front, so they could experience the weapon first to facilitate more purchases.
