The Almighty Ring

Jiang Fei picked up the small cauldron on the ground and immediately chucked it into his backpack. However, the instant he held the cauldron, he received a series of system notifications.

“Ding! Obtained the second Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom!”

“Ding! Congratulations, player Verdure Glider has been promoted to Trialist of the Heavens!”

“Ding! Obtained passive skill – Mark of the Heavens!”

“Ding! Your Instructor Ou Yezi is waiting for you at xxx,xxx in Dawnlight City!”

A series of system notifications somewhat overwhelmed Jiang Fei. However, after some checking, he understood that acquiring the second Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom meant he had officially stepped onto the path against the Heavens.

“Verdure Glider! Verdure Glider!”

“The invincible Brother Fei!”

“Brother Fei, you are amazing!”

…

Right then, everyone outside the arena was cheering loudly. Although 500,000 damage was nothing new to these people, most of the players who had accomplished such damage were Magic Class players. Moreover, they could only deal such damage after chanting for close to three minutes. However, Jiang Fei was able to deal such a shocking amount of damage with an instant skill. Therefore, the entire crowd went wild.

“Sunset Snowflake forfeited the second round. The winner for this match is Verdure Glider!” The judge walked onto the stage.

As Sunset Snowflake had lost his Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom, his shocking rate of Health Point recovery was gone. He would only be beaten up if he continued the fight. Not only did he give up on the current match with Jiang Fei, he also gave up on the entire competition.

After getting the judge’s confirmation, Jiang Fei immediately left the arena. He did not have time to enjoy the crowd’s cheering nor did he have time to interact with the host. As Jiang Fei’s secretive Class Instructor had suddenly appeared, he had to rush over immediately.

When the host saw that Jiang Fei was uncooperative, he felt a little embarrassed. However, since Jiang Fei was not a professional player and he did not break any of the competition’s rules, the organizing committee could not do anything to stop him.

Jiang Fei did not care about the organizing committee at all. His only objective of participating in the competition was to find the Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom. Everything else did not matter to him.

After leaving the PvP arena, in order to save time, Jiang Fei immediately activated the Abyssal Gate and teleported himself from the Nephilim King’s Palace to Dawnlight City.

At that moment, Dawnlight City looked like a ghost town.

Only a few players were there except for several low level players who were most likely new to the game.

Ou Yezi appeared to be at the same run-down blacksmith’s shop. Jiang Fei was not sure why his Instructor liked this play so much.

“Eh?” Jiang Fei was stunned when he saw Ou Yezi.

That was because Ou Yezi no longer looked like a beggar on the streets as he did before. Instead, he was dressed in a full suit of golden armor. Jiang Fei had only seen him this way during the few ten seconds when he first became Ou Yezi’s disciple. Otherwise, Ou Yezi had always been dressing up like a beggar on the streets.

“Instructor, were you looking for me?” Jiang Fei walked toward Ou Yezi respectfully. Now, he knew how godly his Instructor truly was.

“Yeah!” Ou Yezi nodded as he looked at Jiang Fei. Then, he simply looked at Jiang Fei without saying a word.

When Jiang Fei saw Ou Yezi had no intentions of speaking, he did not know what to say either. So, he simply stood there respectfully.

“Have you really thought it through?” Ou Yezi looked at Jiang Fei for nearly five minutes before finally speaking.

“I’ve thought it through!” Jiang Fei knew Ou Yezi was asking him about the War of the Heavens. After all, Ou Yezi instantly looked for him after he had become a Trialist of the Heavens. It would be strange if it was just a coincidence.

“Hmm…” Ou Yezi nodded and remained silent for a long while. Finally, he said, “Although you are my disciple, I did not intend to involve you in this battle. However, since you have chosen this path on your own, I will respect your decision!”

“Thank you for supporting me, Teacher!” Jiang Fei beamed. From Ou Yezi’s words, Jiang Fei believed that he would be supported in retrieving all of the Nine Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom.

Most importantly, the Four Sages of the Heavens each possessed one of the cauldrons. Ou Yezi happened to be one of the Four Sages of the Heavens. Therefore, he definitely possessed one of them. If the Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom belonged to a player, Jiang Fei could snatch it from him. However, if the cauldron belonged to one of these masters, Jiang Fei dared not even try.

“I am sure you know that I possess one of the cauldrons,” Ou Yezi said unhurriedly.

“Yeah!” Jiang Fei nodded.

“I don’t mind giving the cauldron to you. However, you do not deserve it yet!” Ou Yezi said.

“How can I meet your requirement of worthiness?” Jiang Fei asked.

“You must become a High-Tier Divine Blacksmith and also my successor! That’s because only a descendant of the Divine Blacksmith can obtain the Cauldron of Creation,” Ou Yezi said solemnly.

“I will work hard to accomplish that!” Jiang Fei nodded. He had been lazy for a very long time. He had been spending most of his time with the ladies and had forgotten all about crafting equipment. Therefore, ever since he had achieved the Intermediate Divine Blacksmith level, he had never crafted a single piece of equipment.

“I know you have a lot of talent. I’m rooting for you! Here, I have a recipe for you. Use it well and work hard to craft. Once you become a High-Tier Divine Blacksmith, I will come looking for you!” Ou Yezi said as he started emitting a golden light. The golden light instantly entered Jiang Fei’s body.

“Ding! You have acquired the recipe: Twilight Bow!”

After the golden light entered Jiang Fei’s body, Jiang Fei received a system notification. At the same time, a new smithing option appeared in his Smithing List.

“Thank you, master!” Jiang Fei bowed at Ou Yezi. When he lifted his head, Ou Yezi had already disappeared.

“Let’s do this. All I need to focus on now would be the competition and smithing!” Jiang Fei nodded. At the same time, he checked the rewards he had obtained.

The first thing he checked was the passive skill he had obtained – Mark of the Heavens.

Mark of the Heavens: When subordinates of the King Zhou of Shang see you, your respective Reputation will be increased to Respect. When believers of the Primordial Gods see you, your respective Reputation will be decreased to Hostile.

“I see!” When he finished reading about the passive skill, Jiang Fei nodded. This was an Attribute which required taking sides. After obtaining this Mark, Jiang Fei was destined to fight against the Primordial Gods to the bitter end .

After checking the passive skill, Jiang Fei took a look at the new recipe Ou Yezi gave him.
