At this stage, there was no need to judge who had won or lost.
The result was already clear.
Duanmu Yu was completely defeated!
"How could this be …" The people of the Duanmu Family murmured in disbelief.
Duanmu Yu, one of the geniuses of their clan who had been fortunate enough to receive some guidance from the Beiyan Weapon Sovereign, had actually lost to an unknown genius from a low-level dynasty.
Ye Guchen was indeed well-known in the Saint Origin Dynasty, but he had no reputation in other dynasties.
What was even more unacceptable to the people of the Duanmu Family was that Ye Guchen was not a genius of forging.
He was a sword cultivator!
Who would dare to believe this?
Green, white, and red alternately flashed on Duanmu Yu's face as the veins on his temples throbbed.
"Ye Guchen, who is your master?" Duanmu Yu gritted his teeth.
He did not want to believe that an unknown person could defeat him.
A person who possessed such a flame, forging skills, and the Secret Spirit Ascension Technique could not be unknown.
"No master." Ye Guchen said casually.
It was better not to reveal the old drunkard's matter. After all, he seemed to have an enemy.
"Humph!" Duanmu Yu's face became more and more ugly.
On the Gongsun Family's side, Gongsun Xiaoyue cheered loudly and almost clung to Ye Guchen like an octopus.
The onlookers also sighed as they did not expect Ye Guchen to win.
Yan Shaotang completely shut his mouth.
He did not even have the chance to mock Ye Guchen's performance. Instead, he felt that his face was swollen.
"Humph, consider yourself lucky." Duanmu Yu flung his sleeves and wanted to leave with the people of the Duanmu Family.
"Wait, aren't you forgetting something?" Ye Gu Chen asked calmly.
Duanmu Yu stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath.
He wanted to leave immediately, but he did not expect Ye Guchen to be so tactless as to point it out.
Many people in the surroundings also looked at Duanmu Yu with strange expressions.
Earlier, the two of them had bet on who would win and who would lose.
At the same time, he admitted that the Duanmu family was inferior to the Gongsun family in terms of blacksmithing.
However, it would appear that Duanmu Yu wanted to leave directly.
If that was the case, then the Duanmu Family would have lost all face.
"Are you sure you want me to fulfill my promise?" The corners of Duanmu Yu's eyes twitched.
"What do you think?" Ye Guchen looked indifferent.
"Even if it means offending the Duanmu Family and the Sky Star Dynasty?" Duanmu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed a little cold and solemn.
Yan Shaotang's eyelids twitched. He stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, why don't we do this? Let's both take a step back and we'll be at peace."
He was worried that Ye Guchen would offend the Duanmu Family and the Heavenly Star Dynasty, which would bring them trouble.
"Get out of the way. There's no room for you to speak here!" Ye Guchen rebuked coldly, not giving Yan Shaotang any face.
"You …" Yan Shaotang's throat seemed to be blocked as he stepped back resentfully.
Seeing that Ye Guchen was determined to make him fulfill his promise, Duanmu Yu was extremely embarrassed.
"Ye Guchen, the Duanmu Family's things aren't that easy to take. Think carefully," Duanmu Yu said.
"You're not as good as me, so you're trying to show off your background. Unfortunately, I don't care!" Ye Guchen flung his sleeves. His aura was as sharp as a sword, intimidating everyone.
If he was afraid of his background, he wouldn't have attacked Gu Shaoyang back then.
If he was afraid of his background, he wouldn't have interfered in the grudge between Su Jianshi and Di Haotian.
He wasn't even afraid of the Starry Sword Pavilion and the Divine Sword Sect.
What was the Duanmu Family and the Heavenly Star Dynasty to him?
"Good, you've got guts!" Duanmu Yu was so angry that he laughed.
Ye Guchen had already forced him to this point. If he still refused, it would be too embarrassing for the Duanmu Family.
With a wave of his hand, Duanmu Yu threw out all the treasures in his treasury.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "My Duanmu Family is inferior to the Gongsun Family in terms of forging!"
After saying that, Duanmu Yu didn't want to stay any longer. He walked out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion with an ashen face.
Seeing the Duanmu Family walk out in a sorry state, all the spectators in the Divine Weapon Pavilion sighed.
However, they also looked at Ye Guchen with pity.
"I heard that the Duanmu Family and the Heavenly Star Dynasty are tied together."
"Yeah, Sword Sect Ye offended the Duanmu Family, which can be considered as offending the Heavenly Star Dynasty. I heard that the princes of the Heavenly Star Dynasty will also be here for the Prodigy Battlefield qualifiers."
"That's right, I heard that Xing Li, Xing Xian, and the other princes will be here. There's also the most powerful Crown Prince Xinghong."
"Crown Prince Xinghong of the Heavenly Star Dynasty is as famous as Princess Fengxi of the Fengnie Dynasty. Rumor has it that they've both reached the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Bridge Realm. They're quite famous among the younger generation."
Ye Guchen's expression didn't change as he listened to the discussions around him.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir.
If he cowered, then he wouldn't be Ye Guchen.
"Little Friend Ye, I'm afraid this is a bit too big." Gongsun Yue and the others sighed.
They couldn't afford to offend the Heavenly Star Dynasty now.
"It's fine, Duanmu Yu hates me. It has nothing to do with the Gongsun Family." Ye Guchen waved his hand.
"Little Friend Ye, you deserve these treasures," Gongsun Xuanlong said gratefully.
If it weren't for Ye Guchen, the Gongsun Family would have been taken in by the Duanmu Family.
"No need, I only need a small portion. You can use the rest." Ye Guchen's eyes flashed slightly.
He casually put a few materials into his bag, including the Nine Orifice Divine Stone.
"This …" Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xuanlong were a bit embarrassed.
Ye Guchen seemed to have helped the Gongsun Family too much.
"Young Master Ye, you saved the Gongsun Family again. Xiaoyue is still yours!"
Gongsun Xiaoyue's crisp voice resounded in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The surrounding people were speechless. The Gongsun Family's Little Chili Pepper was indeed worthy of her reputation.
Ye Gu Chen could not help but laugh.
However, he felt as if there was a resentful gaze on him.
He turned his head slightly.
Su Jianshi crossed her arms in front of her chest, pouted her lips, and puffed up her cheeks.
Her beautiful eyes revealed an innocent, pitiful, and resentful expression.
She looked indescribably cute, like a puppy that had been left out.
Ye Guchen was a bit speechless. He really didn't want to get involved in this.
On second thought, Ye Guchen casually tossed the Vermilion Bird Ni Huang to Su Jianshi.
"This …" Su Jianshi was stunned.
"It's for you," Ye Guchen said with a faint smile.
The Human Emperor's Sword in Su Jianshi's heart couldn't be used easily. Her previous sword was also a little low-grade.
Although the Vermilion Bird Ni Huang hadn't been fused with spiritual runes, it was still a rare weapon. It was perfect for Su Jianshi to use.
"Are you really giving it to me?" Su Jianshi's resentful expression was replaced with a sweet smile.
"Of course." Ye Guchen nodded.
"Great!" Jianshi felt as if she was drinking honey.
Yan Wushuang's eyes dimmed when she saw this scene. Her exquisite face was filled with disappointment.
Gongsun Xiaoyue also pouted, complaining that Ye Guchen was biased.
But all in all, Ye Guchen had gained a lot this time.
Putting everything else aside, just the Nine Orifices Divine Stone alone was more than enough to surpass everything else.
