Chapter 229: Chapter 229
But not long after the assessnt started, Blair fell into a pit together with Alex and was easily finished off by him.
Later, everyone stared at Knox, believing that Knox, who was able to reach the Tenth Level of Body Tempering within the Sword God Restriction, was a genius rarely seen in ten thousand years.
But after a short while, Knox also bizarrely suffered heavy injuries and lost all competitiveness.
Finally, everyone stared fixedly at Taryn, certain that he was the one Destiny belonged to and Luck favored. Taryn indeed lived up to expectations, leaving everyone far behind and seizing the championship in one fell swoop.
As a result, who could have expected that as the person who opened the treasure chest, he only took away a broken sword?
As for that priceless treasure, the Vault of Divine Sword Heart, he didn’t even give it a second glance, tossing it aside like throwing away garbage.
Ultimately, it was a little girl who arrived late as the second person who picked up this massive bargain for free.
Wasn’t this plot twist a bit too fucking lodramatic?
The crowd of elders fell silent for a long while, when suddenly a burst of wild laughter ca from behind them.
"Haha, hahahaha!"
The crowd turned their heads. The one letting out the wild laughter was none other than Nerin, standing in the back.
"Hahahaha, she is Aya, a disciple of my Falling Dust Peak!"
"I didn’t expect my disciple to actually obtain the Vault of Divine Sword Heart and beco the heir personally selected and appointed by the Evergreat Sword Ancestor!"
"My Falling Dust Peak is going to soar rapidly up the ladder of success! Following Sunblaze Peak, we will beco the head of the new Ten Great Main Peaks, hahahaha!"
Seeing this, Torin, Lorin, Blake, and the others instantly revealed looks of thick envy and jealousy.
anwhile, Nerin was so happy he almost fainted from joy. His Falling Dust Peak possessed absolutely no advantage whatsoever, whether in resources, geographical location, or teaching faculty.
Originally, if Alex had obtained the Vault of Divine Sword Heart, he fundantally wouldn’t have had any competitiveness to speak of.
But who could have expected that this heaven-splashing wealth would fall right onto his head? His own disciple picked up a Vault of Divine Sword Heart for absolutely free.
How many lifetis of good karma did one have to cultivate to receive such massive good fortune?
"Hahaha, Senior Brothers, shouldn’t we move our steps now?" The smile on Master Nerin’s face fundantally couldn’t be stopped, he said excitedly.
"After all, the main army of disciples is about to successively finish the assessnt."
"Shouldn’t we head to the Azure Dragon Hall to properly celebrate for them?"
Although the crowd absolutely couldn’t stand Nerin’s arrogant, petty-man-achieving-success face, they had no choice but to nod helplessly.
Imdiately, the dejected and crestfallen elders, along with one Nerin who was radiant with joy, headed toward the Azure Dragon Hall in unison.
...
The Azure Dragon Hall was located at the rear of the Azure Dragon Valley.
In the woods next to the mountain peak, there was a teleportation Formation. According to the rules, after arriving at the mountain peak and passing the assessnt, one could use the Formation to head to the Azure Dragon Hall to await assignnt.
Aya was in high spirits as she walked out of the Formation. She saw that inside the empty Azure Dragon Hall, only Alex was leaning against the wall, toying with a rust-stained bronze sword in his hand.
"Junior Brother Taryn?" Aya froze slightly, then imdiately went up to greet him in pleasant surprise.
"So the first one to pass the assessnt and seize the championship was actually you?"
"I thought it was that Blair!"
"Mm, I also thought it was him." Alex smiled and nodded.
"Hmph, before the assessnt began, everyone was saying what a dark horse he was, and that the championship this ti belonged to him and no one else." Aya said quite proudly.
"Looking at it now, he’s nothing more than that, huh? He couldn’t even compare to the two of us!"
Alex chuckled and nodded. "Hehe, yes, yes."
Aya asked curiously, "Junior Brother Taryn, in that case, you were the first one to open the treasure chest, right?"
"I wonder what fortuitous encounter you obtained?"
Alex shook the bronze sword in his hand and laughed. "Only this sword. Its tier is roughly around Middle-Grade Heaven and Earth-tier. It can be considered a pretty good weapon."
"Just... this sword?" Aya froze slightly, instantly feeling even more secret delight, she smiled mysteriously.
"It seems your first-place reward isn’t even as good as my second-place one, huh!"
"Junior Brother Taryn, guess what I got?"
"Hmm..." Alex stroked his chin, feigning thought.
"Could it be a Vault of Divine Sword Heart left behind on the ground?"
"Hmph hmph, that’s right..." Aya’s face was full of pride, just as she was about to properly show off a bit, she suddenly realized sothing was wrong, and a look of suspicion crossed her face.
"...Hmm?"
"You... how did you know?"
"I guessed." Alex shrugged, smiling innocently.
"It seems this Vault of Divine Sword Heart took a liking to you and has no destiny with ."
"Senior Sister Aya, congratulations."
Looking at Alex’s harmless smile, Aya’s heart instantly beca sowhat complicated, her expression turning incomparably bizarre.
Yes. Just now, she was only imrsed in the joy of unexpectedly obtaining the Vault of Divine Sword Heart and picking up a massive bargain.
Now that she cald down and thought about it, this pleasant surprise truly ca a bit too unusually.
Firstly, this Vault of Divine Sword Heart was definitely placed inside the treasure chest.
Not just casually thrown on the ground.
As the first person to open the treasure chest, how could Junior Brother Taryn not have discovered it?
Or rather, it was him who took the Vault of Divine Sword Heart out of the treasure chest and casually threw it away.
If it were her, obtaining a supre treasure like the Vault of Divine Sword Heart, even if she couldn’t fuse with it herself, she would definitely put it into her storage ring and take it away.
It was absolutely impossible to leave it for soone else. And even more impossible to casually throw it on the ground like throwing away garbage.
