EBE Chapter 100: A tattered ancient scroll? No, a level-less clone technique!
Chapter 100: A tattered ancient scroll? No, a level-less clone technique!
"Second on the contribution list, from the Eastern Region, Gu Jiancheng!"
On the golden hall, the voice of the Holy Land envoy rose again, and Gu Jiancheng stepped forward, bowing and cupping his hands.
Others were curious, and he was just as eager.
It is said that this reward was jointly bestowed by the Holy Land and the Shen family, so it should be of good quality.
But Gu Jiancheng didn't want any magical artifacts; he didn't lack them.
But the old man on the golden throne paused for a moment before saying, "Your reward is provided by the Holy Land: an ancient bamboo slip!"
As the old man's voice fell, the entire venue fell silent instantly.
An ancient bamboo slip?
Compared to a high-grade Dao-level magic weapon, isn't this rather shabby?
Is there really such a big difference in the rewards for first and second place?
Even Shen Chuan, sitting in the Golden Hall, couldn't help but frown.
When the rewards were being prepared, the Holy Land did not specify what the rewards would be, and he had assumed they would be very valuable.
But to my surprise, it was just an ancient bamboo slip.
This is clearly being targeted.
Gu Jiancheng, however, remained calm and bowed, saying, "Gu Jiancheng thanks the Holy Land!"
"Hehe, the Holy Land has also given this matter much thought. I've also heard that you have the ability to translate ancient texts, so you'll definitely like this one!"
As he spoke, the old man from the holy land raised his hand, and an ancient simplified form of light appeared in front of Gu Jiancheng.
The latter calmly put away the ancient bamboo slips and stepped back.
The bestowal of rewards continued, but Yun Shuiyao and the others gathered around.
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Gu Jiancheng took out the jade slip and passed it around for everyone to read.
However, after seeing it, everyone, including Jiang Hongyi, had strange expressions.
“Brother Gu, I also have some knowledge of ancient slips. This is clearly a Dao-level inheritance slip, and it’s incomplete. How can we use it? It’s utter nonsense!” Cai Kun complained.
The incomplete Dao-rank inheritance is worthless, at least compared to the Mountain and River Seal, it's like heaven and earth!
"The Holy Land's actions are truly despicable. The Mountain and River Seal was provided by my Shen family, yet they only offered a single ancient slip to appease us!?" Shen Ruyue could no longer contain her anger.
This must be due to interference from the Zhao family!
"What do you think?" Yun Shuiyao asked, looking at Gu Jiancheng.
Even if the Holy Land did it on purpose, there's nothing that can be done about it now.
"I think this ancient bamboo slip is quite good, perhaps even much better than the Mountain and River Seal!"
Gu Jiancheng simply shrugged, leaving everyone puzzled.
What everyone said was true; the ancient bamboo slips were indeed incomplete.
It appears that the rank is just an ordinary Dao rank inheritance.
But Gu Jiancheng also has a system; he can directly use promotion cards to upgrade and complete his abilities.
Wasn't the previous Boundless Sword Technique also advanced from an incomplete ancient text?
Moreover, he had just looked at this ancient slip of paper, which contained a secret technique called the 'Five Elements Clone Technique'!
After seeing Jiang Hongyi's clone, Gu Jiancheng became extremely interested in the method of creating clones.
Therefore, in Gu Jiancheng's view, this ancient bamboo slip is of great significance and cannot be compared to any magical artifact.
Thus, Gu Jiancheng directly chose to use 100 points of excitement to upgrade this incomplete ancient scroll.
The basic promotion card only requires a little bit of heart value now, but the chance of getting a top-tier item is too low, so Gu Jiancheng chose to max it out this time.
In an instant, the ancient scroll contained within the system was enveloped in a hazy light. After several breaths, a golden light suddenly burst forth from it!
Holy crap, another gold drop?!
Gu Jiancheng was shocked. The last time he encountered this situation was with the Boundless Sword Technique.
A moment later, a brand new jade slip appeared in the system's inventory.
Gu Jiancheng opened the jade slip with great anticipation, but the next moment, his heart suddenly trembled!
【Hongmeng Clone Technique】
Quality: No level required, secret technique.
Introduction: The primordial chaos transforms into freedom, and the body returns to oneness; this is the first volume of the secret method.
really!
Like the Boundless Sword Technique obtained before, this so-called Primordial Avatar Master is also a level-less secret technique!
Although it is only the first volume, the inheritance recorded in it is extremely complex and obscure!
Moreover, the first volume can only create one clone, but this clone can possess up to 90% of the main body's combat power!
This is already quite terrifying.
"Well, alright, since you're so open-minded, we won't say anything more." Shen Ruyue and the others could only sigh upon hearing this.
The reward ceremony continued, with the top ten receiving Dao-grade treasures. Yun Shuiyao even received a low-grade Dao-grade battle armor, which was quite good.
Of course, Gu Jiancheng only obtained a fragmented ancient bamboo slip, which made him a laughing stock at the conference.
Shen Fanxing and the others sneered repeatedly, this was the retribution for offending the major powers of the Central Region!
Soon, all the thousand geniuses from the eight prefectures had been rewarded, and the venue fell silent instantly.
Everyone knows that the gathering of the eight talents in Baiyun City is not just for the reward ceremony, but more importantly, it is a competition among the eight prefectures!
The unified examination of the eight prefectures was originally scheduled to be held in six months, but the beast calamity suddenly descended, and the Holy Land also recognized that this was a golden age with many prodigies emerging. Everyone was already impatient!
They look forward to seeing the eight prefectures compete and determine who is superior!
The same applies to the geniuses of the eight prefectures, because once the competition begins, Gu Jiancheng's brilliance from the previous two days will surely be crushed!
"Hehe, so the rewards for the Beast Tribulation are complete. However, at the request of the four great academies, I will continue to preside over the adjudication of the Eight Prefectures' competition, so that the outstanding talents of the four regions can display their prowess!"
coming!
When the voice of the holy envoy before the Golden Hall faded, all the disciples of the Eight Prefectures were excited.
"Hehe, in this competition among the eight prefectures, the students will not be ranked, but the representatives of the four great academies will select their favorite outstanding disciples to be recruited into their academies for early training!"
"Therefore, I hope that all of you younger generations will do your utmost!"
They've entered the academy to train ahead of schedule!?
A commotion suddenly erupted in the meeting room.
This is an absolute temptation for the disciples of the Eight Mansions!
The Four Great Academies represent the pinnacle of heritage in the desolate state. After all, the three holy lands together govern nine states, and even if they dedicate their entire lives to them, they might not be able to enter them. The academies are already considered the ceiling!
This time, as long as we can be selected by the four great academies, we can enter them to cultivate ahead of time, which is an incredible reward!
Representatives from the four academies stepped forward and raised their hands to quell the commotion.
"This battle of the eight prefectures will only test combat strength, so no external objects other than weapons may be used!"
"And no lives shall be lost during the contest!"
After the two academy representatives finished speaking, all eyes immediately turned to Gu Jiancheng.
The rule that he cannot rely on external objects is practically designed specifically for Gu Jiancheng.
Who doesn't know that Gu Jiancheng has an extremely high talent for talismans?
"Damn it, this is so unfair!"
Su Wanzhi and the others immediately started cursing.
Do the four great academies not need geniuses in the art of talismans? Why are they not allowed to use external objects?
"It's alright, I didn't plan to use any external tools today!"
Gu Jiancheng simply waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.
It's just a contest between eight prefectures; it's not enough for him to waste talismans.
"I just don't know what the competition mode is." But Yun Shuiyao's expression was still somewhat solemn.
"Hehe, in that case, for this battle of the eight prefectures, I have specially brought the holy land's magical artifact, the battle flag platform!"
At this moment, the envoy of the Holy Land on the Golden Hall suddenly raised his hand, and a desolate arena artifact descended from the sky and landed in the center of the venue.
This arena is a thousand feet high and hundreds of thousands of feet in diameter, shaped like the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), divided into eight areas. Each area has a gate that isolates it from the outside world, and in the center of each area, there is a battle flag.
"Damn it, it's a battle of battle flags?!"
However, Shen Ruyue and Cai Kun's expressions changed drastically when they saw the arena that had descended.
"What? You know about this?" Gu Jiancheng asked curiously.
"Naturally, the battle flag competition is a common competition method used by the Holy Land. This competition system is extremely efficient because it is not one-on-one at all, but a direct competition of combat power between teams. However, this competition system is simply a disaster for Dongling Academy!"
Shen Ruyue's expression was extremely solemn, because under this competition system, Dongling Academy would only face one situation.
That is, to be eliminated early in the face of the siege of seven universities!
The Holy Land's intentions are utterly malicious!
