Supreme Conceited Emperor

"Bastard, not to mention whether you're qualified to try, even if there's someone you haven't passed the test, it would be absurd for you to talk about cooperation!"    

    

At this time, Gao Tianming, who was standing beside Dao Kuang, said in disdain.    

    

"That's right, Su Jue. If you want to cooperate with us, then you must meet our requirements. Before that, I think the two of you should discuss whether or not you should go and decide who should go first!"    

    

Vice President Yu looked at Su Jue and Gao Tianming with a playful smile.    

    

Even though it was a discussion, everyone could tell that they were going to have a spar.    

    

"I don't think there's a need to talk anymore, Su Jue, you are definitely not my match when it comes to refining. Scram, don't throw people away again after throwing them once." Gao Tianming sneered.    

    

Su Jue laughed coldly, then said: "Do you dare to gamble?"    

    

"Gamble?" "Betting on what?"    

    

"We'll bet our lives on this. We'll compete in refining. If I lose, I die. If you lose, you die. Do you dare?" Su Jue said as he looked at Gao Tianming.    

    

Gao Tianming stared blankly, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.    

    

He was not afraid of compared to refining, but when Su Jue said that it was a life wager, he was somewhat afraid.    

    

"If you don't dare, then scram!" The cold voice sounded again.    

    

"Hmph, Brother Gao, don't be afraid. This Su Jue is trying to scare you, trying to use this method to make you retreat without fighting. In truth, he can't even compare to you!" Dao Kuang said in disdain.    

    

Gao Tianming quickly revealed an expression of enlightenment, then looked towards Su Jue and said, "Su Jue, I was almost tricked by you, so let's bet then, don't tell me I, a dignified ninth stage blacksmith, am afraid of you!"    

    

With that, Gao Tianming took out his oven.    

    

"Su Jue, today I want to refine a peak-stage ninth stage Star Soldier. Take a good look."    

    

With that, Gao Tianming started to light a fire, and then put the ingredients into the oven one by one.    

    

"Su Jue, what about you? Are you still not going to open the furnace?" Vice President Yu said to Su Jue with a smile on his face.    

    

"Let's wait for him to refine a Star Soldier of the ninth step first." Su Jue said expressionlessly.    

    

"From what I see, you don't even know how to forge artifacts. Why are you still pretending to be a big tail wolf?" Dao Kuang said in disdain.    

    

Su Jue didn't pay any attention to him as he stood at the side and watched Gao Tianming refine the Star Soldier.    

    

The difficulty of the ninth stage Star Soldier's refining techniques were similar to that of the famous tools, but the requirements for Stacked Fire Seal s and their own abilities were much higher.    

    

Most importantly, Star Soldier of the ninth step have very high requirements for the basic materials.    

    

Su Jue basically did not have any ingredients right now, so he could not refine them together with Gao Tianming.    

    

As the sun rose, more and more people gathered in the courtyard. Most of them were young refiners from the Blacksmith's Association, and there were a few teachers among them.    

    

Looking at Gao Tianming's fluid movements, Vice Guild Leader Yu could not help but nod his head, a look of admiration in his eyes.    

    

The Refiners' Association disciples at the side were also somewhat surprised.    

    

"I never thought that there would be such a powerful artificer in the Divine General's Estate. We all feel inferior."    

    

"That's right. Whether it is in terms of technique or control over the fire, this artificer is above us. Furthermore, his Stacked Fire Seal has also reached the fortieth stage. He is only one step away from the Artifact King!"    

    

When the crowd's discussion reached Shentu Jun's ears, he could not help but reveal a look of worry.    

    

"Su Jue, are you really confident?" Shentu Jun came to Su Jue's side and whispered.    

    

Su Jue shook his head, and said: "I still don't know!"    

    

Shentu Jun was startled, didn't know?    

    

He did not know if he still dared to gamble, and was a little suspicious of what he heard, but when he saw Su Jue's ice cold expression, he dispelled the thought of asking more.    

    

After the battle at the Divine Martial Arena, Su Jue had turned into an ice cube.    

    

An hour later, the morning sun had already climbed over the mountain peak. At this moment, Gao Tianming suddenly roared and smacked both his hands on the oven.    

    

"Boom!"    

    

The oven opened its mouth and a cyan long sword flew out of the furnace door, emitting a faint cyan light under the bright sun.    

    

At the same time, the elemental energy of the world began to converge and the green longsword started to revolve rapidly. Soon, a huge vortex was formed in the sky, absorbing all the elemental energy within a radius of a kilometer.    

    

"Such a large range of elemental energy body should undoubtedly be a Star Soldier of the ninth step. I just wonder what its quality is." Vice President Yu stroked his white beard and laughed.    

    

"Buzz!"    

    

The next moment, the green sword landed on the ground. A chilling wind blew out, and everyone could feel the strong killing intent within it.    

    

This was a sword based killing weapon, full of killing intent!    

    

"Good sword, good sword!"    

    

"The sword body is naturally formed, the sword blade is abnormally sharp, and the spirit energy is restrained. It is definitely comparable to the top Star Soldier of the ninth step!"    

    

"The elders are the only ones in my Blacksmith Guild who can refine Star Soldier of such quality."    

    

The group of Refiners' Association disciples surrounded the long azure sword, watching it while constantly praising it.    

    

Vice Guild Leader Yu also stepped forward and carefully slapped his face a few times before nodding his head, saying: "That's right, this sword is a top tier weapon of the ninth step."    

    

After evaluating the longsword on the ground, Vice Principal Yu looked at Gao Tianming and said, "The refining strength of High Academy Officer has truly broadened this old man's horizons. I dare say that within five years, you'll be able to break through your shackles and refine a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon."    

    

"Vice President Yu is too kind, I dare not say anything else, but he is still quite talented in the Dao of artifact forging. Within five years, he will definitely be able to refine a Heaven-grade weapon, and within ten years, he will be able to create his own famous weapon and become a true Artifact King."    

    

Gao Tianming had an arrogant look on his face as he spoke with a thick sense of confidence.    

    

"Alright, I think the results are out. Su Jue, you should fulfill your promise, the loser will die!" Dao Kuang looked at Su Jue and laughed coldly.    

    

Su Jue glanced at Dao Kuang and then looked at Vice President Yu, and said: "Looking at Vice President Yu, does this weapon seem to have met your requirements?"    

    

Vice President Yu nodded his head, and said: "That's right, the requirements have indeed been met. At least among the younger generation, there is no one who can compare with him."    

    

Su Jue shook his head, with a face full of disappointment: "So the Blacksmith's Association only has this kind of perspective, it's really disappointing."    

    

The moment these words came out, all the disciples of the Blacksmith Guild revealed angry expressions. Even Vice President Yu, who had been beaming merrily, frowned.    

    

"Su Jue, stop with your boasting, if you have the ability, you can also make one for me." Gao Tianming cursed.    

    

"That's right, Su Jue, you said that my Blacksmith Guild's standards are low, I actually want to see your standards, but if you can't reach the level of Gao Tianming, and are only a condescending person, then please never step into the doors of my Blacksmith Guild!"    

    

Although Vice President Yu's words were not ruthless, smart people knew that once Su Jue lost, the Blacksmith Guild would completely ban him.    

    

And if he offended the Blacksmith's Association, then Su Jue really wouldn't be able to survive in the imperial city.    

    

At this point, everyone had different thoughts.    

    

Dao Kuang and Gao Tianming were naturally secretly delighted in their hearts, especially Dao Kuang. Because he already had the intent to kill Su Jue with regards to the matter regarding Tang Xingyue, it was just that he was unable to do so and did not dare to make a move against Su Jue.    

    

Shentu Jun was even more worried now.    

    

"Su Jue, if we can't do it, let's surrender and leave." Shentu Jun said in a low voice.    

    

"If you want to admit defeat, there's no way. You must fight. If you lose, you must kill yourself. You are the one who said so!" Gao Tianming said loudly.    

    

Su Jue sneered, then said: "In my opinion, Gao Tianming's smithing level is really average, not just average, but rotten to the extreme!"    

    

"What!"    

    

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.    

    

If a Grade Nine Blacksmith Master was called rotten, then what were they? When they thought of this, they couldn't help but feel discontent.    

    

"Haha, Su Jue, you can just stay here and talk. I, Gao Tianming, disdain arguing with you. Gao Tianming said in disdain.    

    

Vice Principal Yu nodded and said: "Su Jue, what are you trying to do?"    

    

"Heavenly Profound Stone, Ancient Copper, One Yuan Heavy Water."    

    

As Su Jue read out each of the materials, everyone revealed a look of confusion.    

    

Su Jue, your eyesight is not bad, you can identify all the materials that Gao Tianming is using when he is refining, but this is not enough to prove that you are stronger than him. You have to admit that more than half of the people here can recognize these materials. Vice Guild Leader Yu was about to lose his patience.    

    

The others began to whisper.    

    

"Su Jue, it looks to me like you don't even know how to refine artifacts. Hurry up and commit suicide so that you won't embarrass yourself while you're still alive." Dao Kuang scolded.    

    

Su Jue sneered again and again, then looked towards Gao Tianming and said, "For such a high quality material, you only refined a stage nine Star Soldier, it's practically a waste of a heaven's treasure, I'll even praise you if I say you're rotten. If I refine it, there's no doubt about it!"    

    

"Arrogant!"    

    

In a split-second, everyone began to curse.    

    

"Su Jue, it's better for you to be modest, although your talent in the Martial Dao is not bad, but you are still too arrogant. Go, for the sake of the Tang Family, I will not pursue your wrongs, but don't come to the Blacksmith's Association again." Vice Principal Yu looked at Su Jue with a disappointed expression.    

    

"You don't believe me?" Su Jue said as he looked at Vice Principal Yu.    

    

Moreover, there is only one set of materials and it has already been refined. The reason why you said this is entirely because we have no way of verifying it, but have you ever thought that, as the Vice President of the Refiner Master Guild, I would not be able to see a person's true level of cultivation?    

    

Vice Principal Yu then shook his head and said, "Refining, you're not as good as Gao Tianming."    

    

"Haha." Gao Tianming laughed loudly, feeling incomparably joyful.    

    

"So what if I don't have the materials? I'll prove it to you now!"    

    

Just as he said that, Su Jue waved his big hand and retrieved the cyan colored sword that Gao Tianming had previously refined, and then took out his pill furnace.    

    

Opening the furnace, the long sword instantly fell into the furnace!    

    

A series of actions happened in the blink of an eye. The crowd didn't even have time to react.    

    

"Su Jue, return my weapon." Gao Tianming said angrily.    

    

"Wait a minute," Vice Principal Yu stopped Gao Tianming before looking at Su Jue and asking, "Su Jue, don't tell me you want to refine the materials for the sword!"    

    

Su Jue glanced at Vice Chairman Yu, then the Grand Sun Primordial Flame converged onto the oven, causing red light to flash from the furnace, and the green colored sword actually started to melt at that moment.    

    

He showed them what he was doing with his actions.
