Zhao Feng, Gan Xiaoxiao and Mingyue Palace practiced hard all night. Early the next morning, they heard commotion outside.
"What happened outside? Where is Master Wu Palace?" Gan Xiaoxiao asked a Mingyue Palace disciple.
"Reporting to the two palace masters, the palace master was ordered to go to Shengwu Palace early in the morning!" the disciple replied.
Zhao Feng was puzzled. No matter how busy Wu Feiyan was, he would not cause chaos in Shengwu Hall. There must be another reason for the chaos outside.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go out and take a look. I guess the things outside are aimed at us!"
Zhao Feng ignored the appearance of the disciples of Mingyue Palace, took Gan Xiaoxiao's hand, and the two walked out of Mingyue Palace side by side.
Outside the Mingyue Palace, on the ring dedicated to challenges, stood an imposing young man. The bright long sword in his hand had been unsheathed, and a soul mark was inlaid on the sword.
"The newly appointed palace masters are the two of them. Are they too young?"
"For such a young palace master, are the bosses above crazy?"
"For such a young hall master, it seems that the Shengwu Hall is really going to disintegrate!"
The martial arts palace disciples who were watching the excitement around the ring were talking a lot, and they had all kinds of opinions. Zhao Feng and Gan Xiaoxiao stood at the door of Mingyue Palace, and they immediately understood when they saw and heard these abnormal things and remarks.
"Hey, are you here to challenge me?" Zhao Feng asked loudly.
"Exactly, Huo Ying, a disciple of Bucai Jiange, wants to challenge the new master of Juetian Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng asked: "Jiange? You are a disciple of the Divine Weapon Hall, why did you come to the Shengwu Hall to challenge?"
Jiange Huo Ying did not expect that Zhao Feng was already familiar with the rules of the martial arts palace challenge, and his fair face couldn't help but blush.
"If you accept the challenge, Huo will join the Shengwu Hall immediately!" Huo Ying knew that he was wrong, but he found an honest reason.
Zhao Feng didn't know that this man was a disciple of Xin Tong, the master of the Jiange Pavilion of the Divine Weapon Palace. He had extraordinary strength and ranked third among the many disciples of the Jiange Pavilion.
Huo Ying was hired by Luo Zifeng, one of the top five disciples of Shengwu Hall, just to embarrass the new hall master.
According to the regulations of Shengwu Hall, only Zhao Feng and Gan Xiaoxiao, who are the new hall masters, agree to challenge, and the top ten disciples such as Luo Zifeng can challenge the hall master.
In order to avoid being the first person, Luo Zifeng spent thirty soul stones to invite his friend Huo Ying from Jiange to take the lead.
Huo Ying happened to have a breakthrough in cultivation recently, so he readily accepted it, rushed to Mingyue Palace early in the morning, and couldn't wait to challenge Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng faced the challenge very calmly: "Xiaoxiao, I'll go meet this guy, you can watch the show here!"
After saying that, he walked quickly and quickly reached the ring. The person in charge of the referee was Sima Yanran, the deputy master of Mingyue Palace.
Sima Yanran is a descendant of the founder of Shengwu Hall. According to regulations, she is hereditary deputy master of Mingyue Hall. However, her strength is not very good, and she is only slightly stronger than Huo Ying.
"Palace Master Zhao, do you really decide to accept the challenge? If you lose, will you have to hand over your position as Palace Master?"
Zhao Feng snorted and did not return to Sima Yanran's question. Instead, he asked Huo Ying directly:
"Boy surnamed Huo, you plan to challenge the master of this palace. What is the prize?"
Huo Ying was once again surprised. In Shengwu Hall and even the entire Martial Palace, the challenging side must come up with something good in order to win and densely cover the challenged side.
If you are competing on the same stage, both parties need to come up with lottery numbers. The lottery numbers must be roughly equal in value, and if the other party is not satisfied, you can refuse or ask the other party to change the lottery numbers.
Huo Ying didn't prepare for the lottery at all. When Zhao Feng turned his army around, he felt a little confused. He had an idea and took out a stone he accidentally found yesterday from the remaining sword-making materials.
The winnings offered by the challenging party do not have to be agreed to by the challenging party, but if they lose, the challenged party can ask for double the winnings.
Zhao Feng felt happy when he saw the lottery prize that Huo Ying took out. This thing looked ordinary, like a jade of good quality, but in fact it was a rarer treasure than poison crystal, called Hao Jing.
The stone is the best among the holy soul crystals, second only to the top-grade Haoyang crystal.
On the surface, Zhao Feng had to pretend to be calm: "You also use this kind of stuff as a lottery. It seems that you are poor enough. I want to add the sword in your hand to the lottery!"
The sword in Huo Ying's hand was no ordinary thing. It was called the Holy Light Star Soul Sword and was a top-notch treasure. In order to make this sword, Huo Ying sold all his family property.
"No, this is my life sword. If you win, I can give you another hundred soul stones!"
"Okay, then give me the stone first. I want to take a look. If you give me an ordinary stone, wouldn't this palace master suffer a big loss?"
Huo Ying blushed when he heard Zhao Feng's words. To be honest, he had no idea what this stone was.
This piece of Hao Crystal is one of the remaining materials from the process of Huo Ying asking someone to make a sword. In addition to this piece, there is also a black stone.
Zhao Feng held the Hao Crystal in his hand, and in a moment he was sure that he had read it correctly, and thought to himself: "The Hao Crystal and the Dark Crystal appeared at the same time, this kid must have a Dark Crystal in his hand!"
After thinking about it, Zhao Feng made up his mind: "Almost no one knows this kind of stone except me. I must get the underworld stone in my hands."
"Huo Ying, do you still have this kind of stone? Or other stones can also be used. This palace master has a hobby and likes to collect all kinds of stones. If you still have it, take out another one, and I won't want the hundred soul stones!
"
Zhao Feng said that in order to win Huo Ying's trust, he took out a few very special stones. Some of these stones looked like a piece of meat, some looked like vegetable leaves, and some looked very much like some kind of animal.
Huo Ying had lost all his money in order to make the sword, and was so poor that he only had the sword in his hand. In order to save a hundred soul stones, he threw the only black stone in his hand to Zhao Feng without thinking.
These two stones are about the same size as goose eggs. One is covered with tiny stars and is warm in the hand. The other is the complete opposite and is cold in the hand. There are some dark crystals as black as ink scattered on it.
"The lottery has been accepted by this palace master. How do you plan to compete?" Zhao Feng was satisfied.
"We only compete with weapons. We can't use anything other than weapons!"
"Is it okay to add a shield to the weapon?" Zhao Feng asked.
"Of course, if you have eight hands and take out eight weapons, Huo will recognize it!" Huo Ying's joking words made everyone present laugh.
"Then can we start?" Zhao Feng didn't want to say another word.
Huo Ying was very stylish and made a gesture of invitation: "Please prepare, Palace Master Zhao!"
Sima Yanran walked between the two of them and said: "Please show me your weapons. Once both parties agree, please retreat to the edge of the ring and wait for the referee to announce the start of the competition!"
Zhao Feng waved his hands, holding a purple electric flying dragon bright silver spear in his right hand, and a unicorn shield on his left arm.
In comparison, Huo Ying is much simpler, with only one Holy Light Star Soul Sword.
Huo Ying couldn't see what was wrong with Zhao Feng's weapons and shields, so he nodded in agreement. Zhao Feng and Huo Ying immediately retreated to the edge, waiting for the competition to begin.
