He reached out and grabbed the sword, and as the Scarlet Feather Stone sword sat heavily in the palm of his hand, Yang Kai poured his Emperor Qi into it, causing it to hum softly.
βHahahaha!β The woman stood on the rock and spread open her arms, laughing maniacally, βSurrender to the mystical and powerful Artifact Refining techniques of mine!β
If Nanmen Da Jun had made this suggestion before the woman started refining, Yang Kai might have gone back home without any hesitation. Unfortunately, he had other plans after seeing this womanβs skills. The woman in front of them still looked extremely unreliable, but she definitely had ability far beyond the average Grandmaster.
βItβs not bad.β Yang Kai nodded slightly.
Seeing as that brat was a guest brought by Nanmen Da Jun, she had treated him with some courtesy; otherwise, she would not have deliberately revealed her Artifact Refining skills in front of him. However, his neutral evaluation of her skills left her burning with rage and she immediately kicked him out as a result. She no longer had any interest in talking to him as she hated his kind the most! Not only did they not know how to appreciate how amazing her skills were, but they also pretentiously acted as if they understood!
Her expression turned icy as she calmly scolded, βLittle Brother, watch what you say. Careless talk can bring misfortune. I might not look like much, but a single word from me could destroy you completely!β
She scoffed in response, βI am an Emperor Artifact Refiner. Do you think nobody would help me if I really wanted to kill somebody? Those guys outside might be going crazy searching for me to pay back my debts; however, they will all become my lackeys if I step up to negotiate with them!β
βUhβ¦β She looked at Yang Kai in surprise before turning to look at Nanmen Da Jun as if trying to detect a sign that he was lying from his expression. In the end, she was disappointed by the results. His expression was solemn, and he looked dead serious. Besides, based on what she knew about him, he would never lie about such matters.
[An Emperor Rank Alchemist?! At such a young age?!] She seemed rather shocked by the news. Even so, she stubbornly insisted, βSo what? Thereβs not much difference between an Emperor Artifact Refiner and an Emperor Alchemist anyway.β
Yang Kai said, βYou are called Grandmaster Hou, right? It seems that you donβt have a good impression of me, Grandmaster Hou.β
βThe reason I said that your skills are not bad is that I have met a more skilful Artifact Refiner than you.β
Nanmen Da Jun shook his head, βThereβs no such thing as the best in the world.β
βYou donβt believe me, Grandmaster Hou?β The corners of Yang Kaiβs mouth curved, revealing a subtle smile.
Yang Kai shook his head and said, βI donβt know where she is right now.β
βButβ¦β Yang Kai continued, βWhat if I can prove that there is someone in this world that is better than you in the Dao of Artifact Refining? What happens then?β
Yang Kai glanced at Nanmen Da Jun who was currently facepalming before bringing a hand up to cover his own face in exasperation. The two wore annoyed expressions as if they just discovered how shameless this woman really was.
She caught it and glanced at it before sneering disdainfully, βAn Origin King Grade artifact? Where did this toy come from? Ugh. Moreover, itβs a warshipβ¦β
Yang Kai only smiled faintly and replied, βThe simpler the item, the easier it is to evaluate the ability of the one who refined it, right?β
Just like cooking, what challenges a master chefβs skills the most are not luxurious delicacies, but the simplest of dishes one would eat every day.
βNope!β Yang Kai shook his head, βThe only way to make her submit is to defeat her in what she does best. I am not capable of that.β
βBut, even if I donβt have the ability, the people around me do,β Yang Kai smiled mysteriously.
Yang Kai grinned meaningfully in response but said nothing more. Even though it was just an Origin King Grade warship, far too low grade for Yang Kai to use now, it was still refined by Yang Yan herself back on Shadowed Star. Yang Kai was very familiar with Yang Yanβs Artifact Refining skills. If this Grandmaster Hou was superior to Yang Yan in Artifact Refining, then he would have nothing to say, but Yang Kai believed that to be very unlikely, and the serious expression the woman in front of him was wearing reinforced that view.
Time passed slowly as the cave remained utterly silent. Grandmaster Houβs expression became increasingly serious as a fine layer of sweat oozed out of her forehead. This both shocked and horrified Nanmen Da Jun, as the only reason for her current behaviour was that the Origin King Grade warship had had a huge impact on her.
βActivate it,β the woman suddenly raised her head and issued a command to Yang Kai. Her voice held no trace of politeness in it.
Since Yang Kai was in no hurry, he decided to wait outside with Nanmen Da Jun. At present, he was eighty percent certain that he could successfully recruit her into his Sect. The rest all depended on whether she was willing to accept her loss.
Glancing at each other, Yang Kai and Nanmen Da Jun tactfully did not disturb her from her trance.
Time passed. An hourβ¦ Four hoursβ¦ Half a dayβ¦ One nightβ¦ A whole two days later, her demeanour finally changed. Her eyes shone brightly as she jumped up and clapped her hands, βHahaha! I understand! So, thatβs how it is!β
