I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Tian reached out and grabbed.

He sucked a fist-sized black stone directly into his palm.

Guhe's eyelids twitched violently.

What the hell!

That was a treasure he risked his life to bring out of the ruins three years ago!

Because of his unassuming appearance, he deliberately kept himself hidden here.

How did this kid take a liking to me at first sight?

Furukawa took a deep breath and forced a smile:

"Young friend, you have quite a discerning eye... This stone may look unremarkable, but it's incredibly sturdy..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Shen Tian moved again.

He turned and walked toward another shelf.

On the shelf sat a crystal box containing a wisp of pale blue gas.

【Breath of the Wind God: An extremely rare crystal of pure wind element.】

Click.

Shen Tian opened the box without hesitation and took the gas into his hand.

Guhe felt as if his heart had been squeezed hard.

pain!

It hurts!

Those were the core materials he planned to keep for building his retirement weapon!

Could this kid actually know something?

Why do you always choose to buy these rare, out-of-print items that are only available at a price?

"Um... young friend."

Furukawa's voice even changed slightly, and his smile gradually stiffened:

"This thing is extremely unstable, and it might be difficult for a beginner to handle. How about we get something more stable?"

"No need, I just like challenges."

Shen Tian grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

Furukawa wanted to cry.

Challenge your grandpa, you idiot!

You've had your fun, but you've emptied my savings for my funeral!

however.

The nightmare has only just begun.

Shen Tian's gaze finally landed on a metal tabletop that was heavily restricted.

There, a drop of purple liquid was suspended.

It looks unremarkable, only the size of a fingernail.

[The Essence of the Void: A supreme divine artifact containing the essence of space!]

Shen Tian took a deep breath, pointed at the drop of purple liquid, and turned to look at Gu He.

"Old-fashioned, I'd like to add that."

puff--

Guhe almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared wide-eyed at Shen Tian as if he were looking at a robber reaching into his heart to steal money.

The Essence of the Void!

It can be said to be the store's prized possession!

It is the collection that Guhe is most proud of in his life!

How did this kid figure that out?

This thing has a full eighteen layers of shielding on the outside!

"this……"

Guhe opened his mouth, wanting to refuse.

This is top-quality material!

Is it for a beginner to practice on?

Even the slightest waste is a crime!

But he looked into Shen Tian's clear and determined eyes.

Then I thought of that talent that was enough to shock the world.

What if we don't give him the best, and he runs away?

What if the first attempt fails due to substandard materials, damaging the confidence in this rough gem?

Guhe's heart was bleeding, roaring, and he was engaged in a frantic internal struggle.

The pain in my heart was worse than being killed.

"Here...for you..."

Guhe closed his eyes and pushed the drop of Void Essence over.

"Young friend."

"You...you absolutely...you must take it easy..."

Guhe felt his heart trembling.

This is not about paying tuition.

This is clearly cutting off his flesh!

Shen Tian took the extremely precious drop of liquid and felt the terrifying energy contained within it.

He nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry about the old ways."

"I will definitely not let you down."

Seeing Shen Tian's confident demeanor, Gu He could only silently shed tears in his heart.

Not disappointed?

As long as the oven doesn't explode, I'll be burning incense in gratitude!

This moment.

This renowned top craftsman of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau in Tianyun Prefecture suddenly felt a little regretful.

Did I overdo it just now?

The price...

That's way too high!

A few minutes later.

The heavy alloy warehouse door opened again.

Shen Tian and Gu He walked out one after the other.

All eyes were instantly drawn to them.

Walking ahead, Shen Tian moved with light steps and high spirits, carrying a heavy, specially made metal box in his hand. His smile was more hard to suppress than an AK47.

And following behind him was Guhe...

This usually dignified and irritable master looked as if he had just been beaten up with a sack over his head.

His face was dark, his lips twitched, and every step he took seemed incredibly heavy.

Those bloodshot eyes stared at the box in Shen Tian's hand, their gaze filled with longing, as if they were saying goodbye to their lover.

"This is……"

Zhou Xuan swallowed.

Before anyone could react...

Shen Tian walked straight toward the "Divine Fire Forging Platform," which symbolized the highest level of craftsmanship of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

He placed the metal box in his hand on the table.

A muffled thud.

The old man's face twitched violently, and he turned his head away, unable to bear looking at him.

"Ancient, shall I begin?"

Shen Tian turned around and asked politely.

"Open! Open it now!"

Guhe waved his hand, unwilling to look any longer.

Shen Tian smiled slightly, not caring about the old man's attitude.

Click.

The latch on the metal box popped open.

A strange aura instantly filled the entire foundry.

Chu Feng's nose suddenly twitched.

As a spiritualist, he has an extremely keen perception of energy fluctuations.

This is?

Several distinct energy fluctuations mixed together, giving him a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"This aura..."

Chu Feng subconsciously took two steps forward and craned his neck.

next second.

When Shen Tian took the first item out of the box with his slender hand.

Chu Feng's eyes widened instantly.

It was a dark, unremarkable stone.

It had no luster and looked like coal ash picked up from the roadside.

"The Mother of Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron!"

"Even a tiny piece, no bigger than a fingernail, is already priceless!"

"This piece in Shen Tian's hand... it's as big as a fist!"

Lei Wanshan shrank his neck.

Although I couldn't understand it, it sounded very impressive.

As if performing magic, Shen Tian pulled out a second item from the box.

call--

The temperature in the previously unbearably hot foundry suddenly dropped.

A blue vortex sealed inside a crystal ball is slowly rotating.

Even through the seal, everyone could hear the faint yet sharp whistling of the wind, as if countless wind blades were cutting through the air.

Holy crap!

Even the usually composed Zhou Xuan couldn't help but swear.

Although he didn't recognize what it was, this wind element fluctuation, which was enough to make even a fifth-level martial artist like him feel his heart tremble, was definitely not an ordinary item!

"Wind...the breath of the wind god..."

Chu Feng pressed himself against the glass partition, his face contorted in shock, muttering to himself as if he had seen a ghost.

"Isn't this something that only exists in textbooks?"

"The teacher even had a hidden agenda in this?"

"And you even gave it to him?!"

Chu Feng felt his worldview was collapsing.

The way he looked at Shen Tian was filled with an indescribable jealousy.

This level of material.

Even Chu Feng himself, let alone using it, has never even touched it in his entire life!

Even just a glance requires a 10,000-word application report!

But what about Shen Tian?

He just picked it up casually.

But it's not over yet.

When Shen Tian took out the last item.

The entire room fell silent.

It was a drop of purple liquid suspended in a specially designed force field generator.

The instant it appeared.

The surrounding space seemed to distort.

The light refracts around it, forming halo-like rings.

This moment.

Chu Feng stopped talking.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

That arrogant face was now filled with blankness.

"The Essence of the Void..."

Chu Feng turned his head and looked at Gu He, who looked utterly dejected, not far away.

His eyes were full of accusation.

teacher!

This is what you mean by beginner practice?!

You call this practice?!

You're practically emptying your savings for your funeral!

Is this how geniuses are treated?

Is this the true value of possessing the fire of the spirit?

Chu Feng looked at the young man on the stage who was playing with three peerless divine materials.

Suddenly I realized...

I feel like I've wasted the last twenty-odd years of my life.

Comparing yourself to others can really make you miserable!
