Chapter 986: Chapter 852: The Dignity Removed Chapter 986: Chapter 852: The Dignity Removed “Young Master Chu hasn’t appeared yet. Could there be so kind of accident?” Princess Wan Ning looked at the empty seat beside her and started to worry.
Princess Wan Ning and Ning Man’er had returned to Spirit City earlier. After disguising herself, Ning Man’er also sat next to Princess Wan Ning.
“Don’t worry, the most that could have happened is a delay while killing soone, he should be able to make it back in ti,” Ning Man’er said, seemingly unworried.
While they were speaking, Yang Qian seed to have completed the final refining of her dual-attribute Spirit Item, slowly taking it out of the Refining Furnace.
As Yang Qian completed the refining of her Spirit Item, Ye Qingzi finally also took out the Spirit Item she had been refining in the furnace.
“Oh, just in ti,” Yang Qian said with a smile, glancing at the vessel held by Ye Qingzi.
Yang Qian walked on her own to the front, placing her vessel before the three Spirit Sect Elders.
Ye Qingzi also put down her refined vessel and then calmly stepped aside.
The reveal of the first place in the Spirit Art competition was imminent!
One could feel how the plaza filled with thousands of Spiritual Masters fell silent, including the authoritative figures in the four-sided seats, all eyes focused on the two vessels placed on the Elders’ table.
The Elders from both sides picked up the Spirit Items of Ye Qingzi and Yang Qian, beginning to carefully appraise them.
The appraisal didn’t take long, but Ye Wansheng standing nearby was becoming nervous, feeling that the two old n’s actions were terribly slow!
At first, the expressions on the faces of the two white-bearded Elders were very calm and composed, but as they slowly realized the potential of these two Spirit Items, they couldn’t help but show a look of astonishnt!
Now almost everyone’s gaze was fixed on the two appraising Elders, yet their expressions made it difficult for the onlookers to guess who was stronger or weaker!
“This… rare, so rare!”
“A work of wonder, this is a work of wonder!”
The two Elders exclaid almost simultaneously.
At this point, the Elders handed the vessels to the middle Elder, obviously, the final judgnt would be made by this Grand Elder of the Spirit Sect, who would then announce the result.
The Grand Elder appraised each in turn, first examining Ye Qingzi’s Spirit Item, and soon his expression nearly matched the previous Elder’s, with disbelief in his eyes.
Afterward, the Grand Elder appraised Yang Qian’s Spirit Item, and the astonishnt on his face did not fade.
“Elder Ge, announce the results,” Master of the Spirit City, Yang Que, said lightly.
“Yang Qian, Emperor Third Grade, Perfect Quality!!”
The Spirit Sect’s Elder Ge announced Yang Qian’s achievent using his Soul Sense!
No sooner had the words fallen than the entire audience was astounded!!
Emperor Third Grade ant the ability to create a Low-grade Emperor, and a Perfect Quality signified a one hundred percent chance to strengthen a Low-grade Emperor’s Spirit Item, using those materials to refine a Perfect Quality Third-Rank Emperor Spirit Item—if she were given sufficient resources…
The success rate of Perfect Quality was one hundred percent, whereas the rate for lower quality was rely five percent, establishing a clear distinction in strength between Zhu Zizhan and Yang Qian!
“It’s simply not a competition for second place, I’ve said it before, Miss Yang is undoubtedly first, and those fellows never believed .”
“Indeed impressive, if those Spirit Items had been given to , let alone Emperor Level, it would have been questionable whether I could even refine a Level Eight Spirit Item.”
“The gap in strength is too huge!”
Discussions began to arise. It seed everyone was certain that Yang Qian had secured the first place.
And with such an incredibly outstanding result, it was expected that the contestant competing with her last would be overshadowed. The Grand Elders hadn’t announced the results for that female Spirit Master, perhaps she failed in her refining.
Yang Qian was quite satisfied with the outco and deliberately looked around at the countless Spirit Masters who were cheering for her.
“This ti I’ve truly reached the highest position; I want to see who would dare to disrespect from now on.” Yang Qian smiled.
Even though she already knew this inevitable result, the feeling of actually receiving it was completely different.
“Hmm, what’s happening?” Suddenly, the triumphant Yang Qian noticed that the expressions of the Elders were sowhat strange; all three of them were staring at the vessel of Ye Qingzi, whose result had yet to be announced.
“Quiet, everyone, we still have to announce the results of one more contestant.” At this mont, Elder Ge stood up, pressing his hands down, signaling everyone to quiet down.
The voice of Elder Ge’s Soul Sense could overwhelm everyone else’s, but he felt that this result had to be announced in a very quiet environnt to ensure that everyone could hear it!
Elder Ge waited silently for a while, ensuring that no other sounds were present, before he cleared his throat and began, “This result is very surprising to and the other two Elders, but… but it is the truth…”
“Chu Qingzi, Level Four Emperor, High-Quality Grade!!!”
Level Four Emperor, High-Quality Grade!!
This voice spread throughout the entire plaza and echoed in the minds of every person in the silent setting!
The entire place was quiet for a mont, but then it exploded like a thunderbolt in the grand plaza of ten thousand Spirit Masters!!!
This shocking result made everyone reveal disbelief!!
Those present were all Spirit Masters; they were very aware that to refine a Third Grade Emperor Spirit Item with those materials was already the extre of the extre, and a Level Four Spirit was absolutely impossible!!
Perhaps, this was why Elder Ge had made that prior remark before the announcent!
“She really succeeded? This…” Master of the Spirit City, Yang Que, rose from his seat, his gaze fixed on the masked Ye Qingzi.
Even the Spirit City Lord Yang Que was internally churned by the result, given that even he had not fully mastered the technique of Refining in the Furnace!
Elders, Elders and World Lords, all fell silent; they were simply incapable of forming any opinion on this startling outco at the mont!
And Yang Qian, who had just been smiling, was now frozen in place, standing there with a face full of shock and bewildered confusion!
“Impossible! Those Spirit Items could not possibly be refined into a Level Four Spirit Item!!” Yang Qian suddenly cried out in alarm!
This statent of Yang Qian was also what everyone was thinking!
Because with their understanding of Spirit Art, the limited materials could not possibly be used to refine such advanced Spirit Items, absolutely impossible!
Yang Qian, no longer concerning herself with decorum, ran up to the Three Elders and picked up the vessel refined by Ye Qingzi…
The Elders did not stop her, letting her verify it herself.
However, not long after, Yang Qian’s facial expression stiffened even more, and she looked as if she had lost her soul!
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! Cheating, you must have cheated! You definitely used so thod to bring in higher grade materials into the Pharmaceutical Courtyard!!” Yang Qian pointed at Ye Qingzi, who was wearing a mask, and angrily exclaid!!
“The mask, right, it must be the mask! You must have hidden so important Spirit Items inside the mask to evade the search!!” Yang Qian said sternly.
Ye Qingzi stood there without speaking, just calmly looking at Yang Qian, who was accusing her with anger.
“Yang Qian, control your emotions!” Suddenly, Yang Que’s voice broke into Yang Qian’s mind, forcibly suppressing the emotions welling up within her.
“Grandfather, she must have cheated, you must stand up for , you know as well that those materials are impossible to refine into Level Four Emperor-grade Spiritual Items!!” Yang Qian imdiately responded!
“Rest assured, what is yours, no one can take away, but look at how you are behaving now!” Yang Que said in a low tone!
Yang Qian imdiately realized that her behavior was indeed unseemly and forcefully suppressed her anger, her gaze coldly fixed on Ye Qingzi.
“How laughable, just because soone is more skilled, why saddle them with the groundless accusation of cheating?” Suddenly, Shen Qiu said with a mix of mockery and derision.
Yang Qian did not dare to talk back to Shen Qiu, only turning her gaze towards Yang Que and Zhu Chao.
“Three Elders, is there anything abnormal with the Spiritual Items refined by Chu Qingzi?” Yang Que asked.
The Three Elders glanced at each other before Elder Ge responded, “That is not the case; we would not make such a mistake.”
“Then, who was responsible for the body search? Has the mask been searched?” Yang Que was obviously trying to protect Yang Qian; this question clearly aligned with Yang Qian’s implication.
“This… No, the subordinate thought the mask…” The female Spirit Master, who had previously appraised Ye Qingzi’s work from the outer circle, said with embarrassnt and lowered her head.
“Then carry out another check.” Yang Que indifferently told the female Spirit Master.
The female Spirit Master, not daring to disobey, walked up to Ye Qingzi and gestured for her to remove the mask.
If Spirit Liquid is placed sowhere, it will leave behind the scent of Spirit Items for quite so ti. If checked now, it could still be possible to determine if Spirit Liquid is hidden within the mask.
“Yang Que, is this appropriate?” Shen Qiu suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the female Spirit Master about to check Ye Qingzi’s mask.
“It is just a mask; remove it for inspection. If there is nothing unusual, then Chu Qingzi naturally deserves to be the first among Spiritual Masters without fault, and the oversight in not checking the mask can just be rectified now,” Yang Que said in an even tone.
It was clear to everyone that Yang Que was favoring his granddaughter, but in Spirit City, his word was law. The opposition had a valid point, and Shen Qiu could not find any reason to defend Ye Qingzi in that mont.
“Please remove your mask,” the woman said politely.
Ye Qingzi stood there, but remained unmoved.
The woman repeated the request, yet Ye Qingzi still did not remove the mask.
“What’s wrong, feeling guilty?” Yang Qian taunted.
If the other party was reluctant to remove the mask, it definitely indicated that there was sothing fishy about it!
“If I remove it, in case nothing is discovered, does that prove my innocence and that I genuinely deserve to be the first in the Spirit Art competition?” Ye Qingzi looked at the sowhat aggressive Yang Que and asked with an icy voice.
“Yes, the Spirit Art competition values fairness. If the mask is clean, then of course no one will doubt you any longer,” Yang Que nodded indifferently.
In fact, Yang Que was also suspicious of Ye Qingzi cheating because even he was not confident in refining a Fourth-grade Emperor-level Spiritual Item with those materials.
“Alright, I will remove it,” Ye Qingzi’s tone beca heavier!
“Qingzi, don’t…” Ye Wansheng hurriedly ca up to stop her.
Ye Qingzi glanced at Ye Wansheng and said with a determined tone, “I must obtain the Spiritual Load!”
Ye Qingzi had a pair of beautiful eyes, through which many people judged that she must be a stunningly beautiful woman.
Therefore, when Ye Qingzi was about to take off her mask, everyone also showed excitent, eager to witness the face of this mysterious Spirit Master.
Tens of thousands of gazes were fixed on Ye Qingzi’s face, watching as this woman took off her mask with a certain heaviness…
Her eyes shone like stars, with a beautiful luster, the depth of which concealed confusion and loss, making her even more enchanting.
However, when everyone was imagining a face that would make their hearts pound, what appeared before their eyes were streaks of black marks!!
These black marks, twisted and ferocious, crawled all over this woman’s face, completely destroying what should have been a perfectly delicate visage!!
The mask slid off, clattering to the floor, but the entire audience gasped in shock!!!
“How… how frightful!” The woman standing in front of Ye Qingzi stepped back several paces, no longer daring to look directly at her!
Zhu Zizhan, Lu Yun, Yang Qian, and Princess Xiang Nan were all beside Ye Qingzi, and they were stunned when they saw her appearance!
This female Spirit Master’s mask should have concealed a beauty that even the mask could not fully hide, but no one could have imagined her face would be destroyed by poison to this extent!!
“Qingzi…” Seated in the four-sided seats, Lin Shang looked as if he had lost his soul.
He always rembered Ye Qingzi’s appearance, obsessively so, but the beauty he dread of had turned into this!
“Qingzi, why put yourself through this!!” Ye Wansheng stood beside Ye Qingzi, his face full of bitterness and could only utter this one sentence.
Ye Wansheng did not want Ye Qingzi to remove her mask, not because he was worried about their looks being recognized.
He knew clearly that the mont Ye Qingzi shattered the Spirit Item she had been refining for more than twenty days, her own Soul Power had already depleted a lot. She wouldn’t be able to complete high-level refining, the only way was to use this self-harming Spirit Master Soul Technique…
This self-harming Spirit Master Soul Technique was a destruction to Ye Qingzi’s beauty!
And now, she had exposed her disfigured face to everyone’s eyes!
For a woman, how very important a beautiful face is!!
When others look at you and show expressions of horror, show expressions of disgust… Ye Wansheng could empathize with that feeling.
Now, as everyone regarded his younger sister with emotions reserved for monsters and with horror and disgust, the heart of Ye Wansheng, her older brother, felt like it was being cut by a knife!!!
His eyes instantly reddened.
For the sake of obtaining the Spiritual Load, to fulfill the will of a teacher like a father, his younger sister had sacrificed too much.
She gave up her appearance, and now she had removed a woman’s dignity.
