At that moment, Jiang Xing suddenly spoke up, "Not good, the Church has already completed that experiment!"
"Impossible!" shocked voices came from Li Xiangjun and Cao Man.
Confused glances were exchanged among Xiao Yefeng and the others, but at this time, Jiang Xing had no words, as Torres had already approached the group from Huaxia. In fact, Torres was addressing everyone present.
Standing beneath the Arena, Torres said, "That's right, this is the upgraded version of V-Alloy, the V-Guardian Gene Armor! It can protect against a certain degree of lethal damage, but it comes at a cost!"
Though it was just a few calm words, they stirred up a huge wave among the crowd. The research was a common goal for all Extraordinary Persons; however, the Church, being the dominant force in the West, had actually completed this research before any other nation. This indicated that the Church's combat capabilities had significantly surpassed those of these countries. Torres's final remark was clear: if you want to buy it, I can sell it, but the price is another matter entirely.
At this moment, everyone in the audience had their own thoughts. Even the leader from Yue Country abandoned observing Ruan Liupang. In this era, while treasures from the past were indeed precious, all nations understood that Extraordinary Persons had reached their limits; Technological Civilization was the true path. The emergence of V-series alloys had allowed ordinary people to possess means to counter Extraordinary Persons.
A series of alloys provided ordinary individuals with life-saving tools against Extraordinary Persons, while secondary series granted cold weapons the ability to kill them. These three series clearly facilitated methods for Extraordinary Persons to fight for their lives. However, everyone knew that the V-series was merely the first step in Technological Civilization replacing Cultivation Civilization. The Extraordinary Persons who once scoffed at the V-series now found themselves using it; they could not resist the march of time.
While everyone was deep in thought, changes were occurring in the Arena. Ruan Liupang, wielding an Ink Python Short Sword, was truly at his limit. In his previous attack, Ruan Liupang once again activated his Jade Shield for protection. Yet even trading injuries could not break through the Holy Knight's V-Body Gene Armor. This armor clung to him like a second skin; when Ruan Liupang's Ink Python Short Sword swept across it, it only produced sparks without inflicting any damage on the Holy Knight.
Of course, this did not mean that these spiritual weapons had been completely replaced by technology; rather, Ruan Liupang was simply too weak. If Xiao Yefeng had wielded the Ink Python Short Sword instead, that strike would have been enough to sever the Holy Knight's sternum or even decapitate him. The gap in their abilities meant that no amount of treasures could change the outcome; even a newborn with a sharp blade could not kill a grown man.
It was clear that the Holy Knight was wearing down Ruan Liupang's Silk Armor of a Hundred Silkworms. It was evident that Ruan Liupang's Jade Shield was no longer as robust as it initially was. He seemed to have fallen into the range of the Holy Knight's Holy Light Feather and could no longer concede defeat; he could only continue fighting until he collapsed from exhaustion and was killed. Now Ruan Liupang found himself trapped in this dire situation.
After a brief shock, Jiang Xing regained his composure and noticed that Xiao Yefeng seemed unaffected by the alloy equipment incident. Jiang Xing shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Feng, you need to be careful; this Holy Light Feather is an illusion-type ability. It doesn't pose much threat to us Geomancers, but unfortunately for others, it's quite effective. When fighting against members of the Church, it's crucial to maintain your focus and clarity; that's key. These zealots excel at manipulating people's hearts—this goes for their followers and enemies alike—especially someone like Torres."
"Understood!" Xiao Yefeng nodded. However, just as he and Jiang Xing were conversing, victory had already been decided in the Arena. A man's corpse lay sprawled in a pool of blood—it was Ruan Liupang. At this moment, the Holy Knight reached down and pulled out Ruan Liupang's Black Python Belt from his waist. After inserting his short sword into the belt and skillfully locating a hidden clasp with a gentle press to retract its three-inch hilt back into its snake mouth, he placed his long spear into the Arena before grabbing Ruan Liupang's lifeless body and removing a Violet Inner Armor from it.
Above the Violet Inner Armor, Qi flowed without a trace of bloodstains, yet the Paladin continued to wipe it down meticulously. With the battle concluded, the Paladin scanned the crowd from the Arena. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared as the Silk Armor of a Hundred Silkworms and the Black Python Belt vanished from his hands. Everyone was momentarily stunned, and four words flashed in their minds—Spatial Ring!
Indeed, the Paladin retrieved a ring that had been scorched by flames from the collar of the V-Body Gene Armor. This ring was very familiar to Xiao Yefeng; it was the World of the Gods that Pope Arthur possessed. The identity of this ring was self-evident, just like the Azure Lint Stone Ring in Jiang Xing's possession. Wearing the World of the Gods represented the highest honor of the Church, signifying that this person had been officially recognized as the successor to the Pope.
As anticipated, someone from the Church immediately stepped up to challenge after three rounds, declaring ownership of the Silk Armor of a Hundred Silkworms and the Black Python Belt. Thus, this seemingly targeted conspiracy against Huaxia came to an end. However, the true loser turned out to be Yue Country, which had initially participated in all these plans. The Church had played a poor hand; they sacrificed many treasures and even exposed loopholes in their rules to undermine Ruan Liupang. Was it truly just for that unparalleled defensive Violet Inner Armor?
The Paladin, whose identity had already been revealed, merely cast a calm glance at Xiao Yefeng as he descended from the Arena before walking directly towards Torres. After that, he did not spare Xiao Yefeng another glance, which surprised him greatly. Xiao Yefeng understood Robert's character well; he would not easily let go of someone who had caused him such harm, especially since he had nearly lost an arm because of him.
But what exactly did the Church intend to do? They participated in Eastern competitions and paid a hefty price just for two spiritual artifacts from Yue Country. Although the Violet Inner Armor boasted exceptional defense, it hardly seemed worth such a cost!
The Violet Inner Armor was certainly not the Church's main focus; so what were they after? Xiao Yefeng meticulously recalled everything that the Church had done, replaying every detail in his mind like a film. Finally, he placed all his thoughts on the Black Python Belt. However, at its spiritual artifact level, its power was not much different from that of the Church's series of Alloy Weapons.
After much contemplation, Xiao Yefeng still reached no conclusion. However, his heart's unease did not come true, which made him quite happy. After all, he did not wish for any misfortune to befall his friends; he had very few friends and could not afford to lose any.
Yue Country, having suffered significant setbacks, left in disgrace but not before secretly meeting with Torres one last time. No one knew what they discussed. Meanwhile, Wa Country left excitedly despite gaining nothing from this event. As for Li Ji, although Xiao Yefeng wanted to clarify everything with him, he understood from Li Ji's helpless expression upon leaving that Abe Luoyu had likely not informed any participants about what transpired.
On their flight home, everyone from Huaxia was filled with confusion. They had prepared thoroughly to storm into the Open Sea Arena but felt as if they were punching a cotton bag—no matter how hard they hit it felt uncomfortable; not hitting it felt even worse. Yet when Xiao Yefeng saw Jiang Xing and his companions wearing frowns of worry, it seemed that the Church's series had caught them off guard.
Soon Beijing North came into view. Onboard the plane, Jiang Xing received a meeting notification and called two Vice Presidents before heading straight to attend after disembarking. The others returned to their respective bases since these individuals were guardians of their territories. Spirit Mines were scarce as Earth Spirit Energy dwindled; spiritual stones were now crucial as both Extraordinary Persons needed them for cultivation and various research projects required them as power sources.
To Xiao Yefeng's surprise, Mo Fei also received an order that forced him to change his plans and leave instead of accompanying Xiao Yefeng to Golden House Courtyard. With some confusion lingering in his mind, Xiao Yefeng returned to Golden House Courtyard where things remained unchanged. The fierce Spicy Plum Mo'er and Nangong Yu from Nangong Family were still flirting with each other but seemed less secretive about it now.
Meanwhile, Liu Yiyi enjoyed her own happiness by practicing according to Xiao Yefeng's guidance. Although Evil Qi still lingered within her body and remained difficult to disperse overall, she could manage it better now. Moreover, with Evil Qi present, Liu Yiyi's ability as a mobile refrigerator became increasingly refined. Unfortunately, she could not absorb Qi points between spiritual stones and earth; otherwise, Xiao Yefeng believed her cultivation would rapidly improve.
After the events of the High Seas, Xiao Yefeng had been living in the Golden House Courtyard for five months. During this time, he witnessed the madness of the Two Goddesses over the past half year. He had never experienced anything like this in his university life, and as for the last half semester of his junior year, he had no idea why the Two Goddesses were so busy. Even the proud daughters could not escape their responsibilities, as they were swamped with final graduation procedures.
It was hard to tell what connection the Two Goddesses had with their large family; instead, they appeared to be just two ordinary graduates preparing for their final projects. Today, after weeks of early mornings and late nights, the Two Goddesses finally finished their work. Xiao Yefeng, who had gotten up early, was surprised to find them sitting at the dining table in their pajamas, drinking milk and eating cookies.
"What's this? Don't you two warrior ladies need to prepare for your graduation projects today?" After months of living amidst the tumultuous emotions of the Two Goddesses, it was rare to see them leisurely enjoying breakfast. Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but tease them.
Since Mei Mo'er and Nangong Yu had confirmed their romantic relationship, Mei Mo'er no longer displayed any other emotions when meeting Xiao Yefeng. She was even more generous than Liu Yiyi. Hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, she scoffed and said, "Master Xiao, you’ve never been to university; how would you know our struggles?"
