However, Helian Wei Wei didn't cower at all after she heard her say this.
She straightforwardly loosened her collar and spoke with a faintly smiling expression. "Since we've agreed on the conditions, then let's start."
Having said this, she then bound her long hair and picked up the armament components before her eyes. Actually, her current expression was especially conscientious. Her pair of pupils as dark as the night were as calm as the sea, as if only she stood here. A slight smile could bring a cool breeze.
Things have already progressed to this stage, so the teacher declared loudly. "The second part of the armament's duel starts now, will the three judges light the incense!"
Bang!
Once the sounds of his words dropped, Helian Wei Wei immediately moved her hands.
Her speed was so fast that everybody didn't have a chance to react!
So much so that even their eyes didn't have a chance to look at the movements on this side!
Yet Wei Wei already started, this was still the first time that she personally assembled armaments in front all of the students.
The side of her face, her thick eyelashes hung down slightly, those slender white fingers didn't seem like they were assembling armaments, and instead seemed like a musician strumming the lute. Each of those fingers were used fully by her at a suitable position, pretty and agile as they changed direction. The components in her hands also followed her movements, and flowed fluently like a calligraphy painting.
Besides 'clang clang' sounds, everybody basically watched, but couldn't tell how her fingers moved.
The only thing they could feel was that this was a dazzlingly beautiful image!
Those natural movements like moving clouds and flowing water, wasn't anxious nor impatient, as if those armaments components were merely toys picked up by her in passing.
"One!"
While Murong Chang Feng had just started to assemble.
Wei Wei had already used her first set of plans to finish her first armament.
Her thin lips indifferently curved upwards. Her appearance, contrasted with the full body white robe, actually made people unable to take their eyes off her.
"Bang!"
The second armament! The palm of Wei Wei's hand turned over and a silver whip was shaped.
Murong Chang Feng was located closest to Wei Wei, and also knew the most about those armaments which originally should've been scattered. How in her hands, they became an armament.
His eyes couldn't stop themselves from constricting and dilating, while the components in his hands crashed and everything fell upon the ground!
If one was to say that when Baili Jia Jue triumphed over his opponent, the area was dead silent.
Then right now, these people were unable to take their eyes off of her, along with those rhythmic noises, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Wasn't this too quick?
How could she be so fast!
Only Master Tu Tian, even as he felt she was breathtaking, he still showed a tinge of regret.
This Helian Wei Wei was indeed fast, however, she's still not as fast as that girl he'd seen previously at Phoenix Tower.
He thought someone who could draw up so many designs would be even more outstanding that that girl, but apparently, she's not at that level...
Bang!
The third armament!
Logically speaking, when assembling armaments, the more towards the end, the more difficult it became. After all, the designs also followed this order of simple to complicated.
However, this point seemed to be nonexistent where Wei Wei was concerned.
On the contrary, her eyes shined brighter and brighter like water, as resplendent as the stars!
As Murong Chang Feng studied his opponent's refined facial features, his heart surprisingly seemed as if it was stirred fiercely by something, both aching and numbing.
"Lord!" Seeing this scene the girl offstage stiffly bit her thin lips. "Hurry and pick up your things!"
Lord Murong had never used this kind of gaze to look at any other person. It's the expression of being captivated by another person. Damn it, she deserved to die!
Murong Chang Feng's senses finally returned to him as he stooped to pick up those components and quickly finished the first armament. However, no matter what, he had no way of maintaining his focus.
Everyone was stunned.
Bang!
The fourth armament!
Wei Wei casually rubbed her neck.
Loud voices.
The crowd broke into an uproar!
"The fourth one, she really already finished four of them!"
"That can't be, Lord Murong only just finished one!"
"How's the time? What's most important is the time!"
In a flash, everybody's gaze moved to rest on the incense which will soon go out. A never before present intense nervousness engulfed their entire bodies!
There's only a little bit of the incense left!
The young girl clenched her fists tightly, as her eyes fixedly stared at the incense stick in the distance, with the kind of expression that wished the wind could blow stronger and quickly put out the incense!
Sitting by her side, Helian Jiao Er extended her left hand and placed it on the back of her hand, maliciousness seeping from the sound of her voice. "Don't worry, that girl won't be able to win. She's only finished four armaments and already used about four fifths of the time. She simply won't be able to finish the remaining three!"
Just as Helian Jiao Er was saying this, a 'bang' was heard!
The fifth armament was single-handedly placed by Wei Wei on the tabletop, as her eyes looked up, apparently also looking at the length of the incense.
"There are still two left! Only two left, and she'll win!"
"There's not enough time, look at that incense!"
People in the world knew that Young Master Wu Shuang was someone who made armaments at high speeds. No matter how capable this Helian Wei Wei was, she couldn't possibly be faster than Young Master Wu Shuang, right?
What's more, there's not enough time left. If she forced these components to come together, and didn't follow the designs she'd previously created, then she'd also lose!
But what everyone didn't anticipate was that, in the next second, Wei Wei actually raised her hand, and removed something from her wrist?
It's the weights band they'd seen previously!
The heck, what kind of joke was this!
How many weights bands was she actually wearing!
Bang!
Someone finally noticed that Wei Wei changed hands. "Look, she started to rely on her left-hand, her right hand's now assisting! Her speed seems to be twice as fast as before!"
"Don't tell me…she basically wasn't going all out previously? This, isn't this too terrifying!"
It was indeed terrifying. As a master at White Academy, Yun Xiu couldn't be sure if even he could accomplish this level. Even if the armament assembly was only at a junior level, and didn't require any difficult back and forth fiddling, however, even for him, four would be the limit. In the past, he'd always thought that Murong Chang Feng was a genius. Besides Young Master Wu Shuang from the Armaments Assembly, no one else's achievements in armaments could surpass his. After all, at such a very young age, there were not many in the younger generation who could keep up with him.
Yet, from what he's seen of today's duel, watching Wei Wei's assembly techniques, he actually experienced what it was meant by a genius among geniuses!
How could there be such an awesome girl, and this girl surprisingly even had always been considered by them to be a good-for-nothing trash!
"The seventh, she's making the seventh armament!"
Indescribably, the entire arena became a world of stillness. After Wei Wei displayed the sixth armament, everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths.
Master Bai also couldn't sit still anymore and suddenly stood up from his wood chair as his eyes t
urned to take a look at the incense stick, the corners of his mouth curved up to smile. "She can't win, because there's already no more ti..."
Master Bai hadn't finished saying that word, when he heard a clear 'bang' sound, resounding through the entire arena, as if it's echoing, for a very long time without subsiding!
Chapter 172 - It’s Surprisingly You!
Helian Wei Wei was empty-handed after she placed the last armament on the table!
Master Bai couldn't believe he's watching this scene, even his body was swaying on the verge of collapse.
However, the time period determined by the incense had only just finished burning at this moment!
The young girl who was incomparably arrogant earlier immediately paled, as she stiffly retreated one step, almost stumbling into her seat, as if her whole body was separated from her soul.
That trash unexpectedly truly completed all of those armaments. How could it be like this!
Defeated.
Lord Murong actually lost.
Moreover, that's even under the condition that the opponent made seven armaments.
The young girl recalled the promise she'd made, and indeed felt a kind of indescribable regret!
Wei Wei didn't go meet her. According to the rules, she displayed the seven armaments on a tray and had the teacher take them away, to have them evaluated by the judges.
Yun Xiu took hold of the excitement in his heart, as he gently picked up the first armament, and was going to look at it, when he saw Tu Tian standing up by his side with an excited expression that's difficult to put into words!
That young girl didn't see Master Tu Tian's expression clearly, thought that there could be an unexpected turn of events, and looked up to say. "Master Tu Tian, is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, everybody hesitated. Within such a short period of time, making seven armaments in one go, it's indeed difficult to avoid making a mistake.
Could there really be something wrong?
Those students from the Good Compound one after another, turned to glance at Master Tu Tian.
What they didn't expect was that the old person seemed as if he'd discovered some rare treasure, and exclaimed excitedly. "Soaring Flames, this armament is actually Soaring Flames!"
Soaring Flames? When he heard these two words, Yun Xiu suddenly turned his head and seized the armament from Tu Tian's hands. The light in his eyes also immediately shimmered. "It really is Soaring Flames! How's this possible, we obviously only provided ordinary components! How was such a high firepower achieved? !"
"Hey, Yun Xiu, why'd you grab it, I haven't finished looking yet!" Tu Tian was annoyed as he pushed away his friend and proceeded to stroke the armament's contours regardless of what anybody thought. "It's the mechanical position, she changed this component's original mechanical use!" Speaking to this point, Tu Tian discovered that the treasured object in his hand was again snatched way, and immediately became angry!
Everyone stared blankly as they watched the two masters, who'd always been calm and collected, and who, because of an armament, were crazily snatching and fighting over it. They somewhat couldn't believe it as they watched Wei Wei standing on the stage.
The hell, what kind of armament could she have made? !
"Soaring Flames." Tusu Feng's voice, slowly rose from a corner of the arena giving people a kind of gentle, warm and steady feeling. "Attack potential a hundred percent, defense ability a hundred percent, can take a martial artist's martial qi and focus it at one point, transform wind, resist fire!"
What? ! A double hundred armament? What this girl made was a double hundred armament?
Having heard Tusu Feng's explanation, everybody became giddy in confusion and disorder. For a moment, they felt that this simply wasn't an intra-academy competition, but rather an international major competition!
Even those who didn't particularly understand armaments were martial artists. Although they weren't familiar with the armament's formal names, they still clearly understood what the potential attack power and defense ability were.
An armament's quality depended the most upon these two factors.
Right now, this Soaring Flames that Wei Wei made didn't merely have extraordinarily high attack and defensive potentials, it even could resist fire!
This...this simply could be on par with the armaments that Young Master Wu Shuang made!
Unable to control themselves, everyone's pair of eyes quaked in fear, as they turned towards that young lady standing onstage.
She was only fifteen years old, and hadn't received any formal training in armaments, couldn't even ignite the crystal ball, yet already surpassed Lord Murong in terms of accomplishments in armaments...
If she were to possess martial qi, how much more terrifying would she be.
Everyone didn't even dare to think about it.
The name good-for-nothing Wei Wei, from today onwards, was thoroughly smashed.
However, no one could've guessed that not long from now, she would would appear again in a different manner before everyone. At that time, people would finally know, what it meant to be a genuine queen of geniuses!
"The duel's outcome was already very obvious." Master Yun Xiu smiled and stood up, it's sufficient to gather from the smile across his whole face how good his mood was. One of his hands rested behind his back, the other waved in beckoning to Wei Wei. "As the winner, will you come up onstage."
Wei Wei smiled faintly as she stepped forward when a 'clang' was heard.
Master Tu Tian, who was originally standing by the side, dropped the teacup in his hand, which fell and shattered. "Girl! How are you here?" Tu Tian opened his blurry cataractous eyes wide and round, even his voice immediately rose in surprise. "You, your name is Helian Wei Wei?"
"Mm hm." Wei Wei nodded her head, casually treating the elder with courtesy. "Elder Tu, long time no see."
Tu Tian advanced one step forward, apparently wanted to grip Wei Wei's hand, yet surprisingly became a bit incoherent. "You have no idea ever since we parted at Phoenix Tower, how long I've looked for you within the capital, turning the entire city upside down, yet couldn't even find a shadow of you. Last time, the Nine Runes Silver Snake that you've made was simply too awesome. Can you make me another one. I still have lots of parts here, you can use them as you like, as you wish!"
As you wish? Yun Xiu was flabbergasted as he watched his good friend. One ought to know, Tu Tian, this guy, although his materials couldn't compare with ours from the Armaments Assembly, however, within Dragon War Empire, they were also very hard to come by.
Someone who treasured armament components as much as his life, surprisingly allowed this girl to casually use his things?
In addition, it seemed from what Tu Tian said, that he'd met this girl somewhere before.
Wait a minute!
"That Nine Runes Silver Snake was made by her? !" Yun Xiu also shouted loudly.
Tu Tian nodded once, then laughed again, unusually cheerful and lively.
Everyone was somewhat at a loss, unable to follow completely. What, it seemed like these two master had already experienced Wei Wei's abilities before.
Except, Murong Chang Feng's body shook fiercely as he stood onstage, the stunned eyes he looked at Wei Wei with were filled with an unprecedented shock. He'd never thought that that genius his master had kept in his mind constantly would turn out to be her!
"Ah! I remember now!" Within the Good Compound, a student with an interest in armaments suddenly tapped his own head, with the appearance of someone who suddenly saw the light. "At that time, the chief also participated in that competition at Phoenix Tower. At the time, she came out barely a moment after she'd entered. We even thought that she was ignorant, so was kicked out by Master Tu Tian, looking at it now, how could the chief have been incapable. Clearly, it's because her speed was so fast, that's why she came out so quickly. No wonder! Until today, the organizers haven't been able to find the champion who ran away with the silver. So it turned out
the chief had never told anyone that the champion was her!"
Chapter 173 - His Highness Planned to Get Drunk……
Utter silence!
A quietness that's unimaginable before!
Seemed as if breathing was stopped, everyone unable to say a single word!
As it turned out, this girl actually didn't fawn on Grandmaster Zi Zun to obtain her position. She truly already learned armaments from a long time ago.
And Grandmaster Zi Zun must've known of this, that's why he accepted her as his official disciple!
Wei Wei took part in the competition at Phoenix Tower, Helian Jiao Er also knew of it. Not only did she know of it, she even met that s.l.u.t on the streets, but how could she have figured that the person who Master Tu Tian turned the entire capital upside down to find would be her!
Helian Jiao Er's face burst into a green color, her fingers continuously clenched tightly. Damn her!
When the hell did this s.l.u.t start to become so difficult to deal with!
How come she wasn't aware of anything at all!
Master Tu Tian certainly didn't care what other people were thinking as his eyes shined brightly while waiting for Wei Wei's answer. "How about it? Lass?"
"Let's wait until the competition officially ends." Tu Tian's eyes were on Wei Wei. Wei Wei's eyes, though, were on the pile of shiny silver. "All of us from the Inferior Compound are poor, let's wait until we've received our money."
Poor? After hearing this word, Hei Ze almost choked up the tea he was drinking. Based on what he knew, right now, their shop's daily cash flow was no less than a hundred thousand taels of silver, as the boss, Wei Wei couldn't have not known?
"Cough cough. You're right. I was just too excited and forgot about even such a thing." Tu Tian smiled gently and lifted his head. "Based on the academy's rule of two out of three duels, I declare that in the match between Superior Compound and the Inferior Compound, the Inferior Compound wins!"
Bang!
Master Bai finally couldn't brace himself any longer as his entire body plopped on his wood chair, dazed and beside himself. Where was there still the air of complacency he carried previously, he extended his hand to cover his own face as he watched Tusu Feng lead those students from the Inferior Compound towards the stage. As before, the principal was refined and graceful, an appearance of holding heaven and earth in the palm of his hand.
