Open up and break into another world

【 In the previous chapter, the number of strange stones offered by Wen Shuai was changed to five. 】

Zhao's envoy's words were practically a direct insult to Wen Shuai.

Today was not only the birthday celebration but also the day to decide on the new emperor; in such an occasion, the detrimental impact of such words on Wen Shuai was immense, as one could imagine.

Even the emperor, Wen Manduo, frowned slightly, unsure whether he was displeased with Zhao's envoy's impoliteness or with Wen Shuai's offering of such an absurd birthday gift—a strange stone that greatly enhances spiritual power? How could such a thing exist!

Clearly, Wen Manduo didn't believe it either.

The birthday celebration quickly filled with murmurs of discussion.

"This Zhao envoy is going too far! Just because he's from the Wild Desolation Sect, he speaks so inconsiderately! He didn't even look at what the Third Prince offered as a birthday gift before mocking it so recklessly. Isn't he showing too little respect to our Flying Cloud Kingdom's royalty!"

"The people of the Wild Desolation Sect are used to being arrogant. Is it strange that they don't respect our Flying Cloud Kingdom's royalty?"

"I think… the main problem is that the Third Prince's actions were indeed absurd! As Zhao's envoy said, is he just trying to pass off a few broken stones as something valuable? Isn't he taking this birthday celebration too lightly!"

"Alas, yes… Strange stones that enhance spiritual power? If spiritual power were so easy to increase, we wouldn't be stuck at the Half-Xiantian stage, unable to reach Xiantian!"

Outer cultivators and inner cultivators generally don't care about spiritual power because it has little practical use. Only when inner-cultivation completion-stage cultivators want to break through to Xiantian do they first realize the importance of spiritual power.

Inner-cultivation completion-stage cultivators already have abundant Xuan Qi in their bodies. As long as they absorb enough Xiantian Xuan Qi from Xuan stones, theoretically, stepping into Xiantian should be a natural progression!

But why do most cultivators stop at the inner-cultivation completion stage, the Half-Xiantian stage, and never reach Xiantian?

"Don't believe it?" Wen Shuai's lips curled up slightly as he sensed the disbelief and mockery around him. "When Brother Xu Ming first gave me this treasure, I didn't believe it either! But after trying one, I immediately realized how ignorant I was!"

The five blue strange stones that Wen Shuai offered were naturally the Level 1 Wisdom Stones that Xu Ming had bought from the Artifact Shop.

"Your Majesty probably doesn't believe it?" Elder Du stood up and said, "Actually, Your Majesty only needs to try one to know whether it's true or not!"

"Good!"

Wen Manduo also wanted to know if such strange stones truly existed in the world or if Wen Shuai was playing a trick on him. He had already made up his mind: if Wen Shuai dared to trick him, then there was no need to say anything else; the throne would be directly out of the question for him!

"Hehe, brother, I can only help you this far!" Xu Ming looked forward to the appearance of a large wave of shocked expressions.

When Wen Shuai learned that the Great Prince's birthday gift was a Great Creation Pill, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot—because the Great Creation Pill was too important for his father's cultivation; and he couldn't get such a cultivation treasure.

Then, he was dazzled by the Wisdom Stones that Xu Ming casually took out.

"Brother Xu Ming, this treasure… is too precious…" Wen Shuai said with trembling hands at the time.

"Precious?" At that time, Xu Ming directly turned to Elder Du, "Elder Du, you take ten to use first, and I'll find a way to get you some more later!"

Then Wen Shuai shut up.

At this time, Wen Manduo had already taken a Wisdom Stone with disbelief and used it according to the method Wen Shuai had said.

Feeling a strange energy flow into his body, and his spiritual power actually increasing significantly, Wen Manduo was stunned: "The spiritual power I just increased is probably equivalent to all the spiritual power of an average adult!"

Wen Manduo immediately looked at the remaining four Wisdom Stones with burning eyes: "If there were more of these strange stones, I would be almost certain to break through to the Core Formation Realm! Unfortunately, there are only five in total… However, even if there are only five, they are already very precious; at least my hope of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm has greatly increased; I really don't know where Wen Shuai got such a treasure!"

Wen Manduo's gaze towards Wen Shuai had changed somewhat; in the selection of the heir to the throne, he seemed to lean towards Wen Shuai's side a lot all of a sudden.

Of course, Wen Manduo couldn't make such an impulsive decision about who should inherit the throne; he still had to think carefully and consider it again!

At this moment, Wen Manduo's heart was excited, but on the surface, he just said calmly: "This strange stone does have the effect of enhancing spiritual power!"

What!?

How is that possible!?

The birthday celebration exploded in an instant!

"This strangely colored stone can really enhance spiritual power?"

"Ah, really?—I only need one to make my spiritual power just a tiny bit stronger, and I can break through to Xiantian!"

"I don't believe it, how could there be such a stone!"

Elder Du couldn't help but snicker as he looked at Wen Manduo's pretentious appearance: "Wen Manduo, this kid, must already be shocked to the core, but he still has to pretend!"

"Impossible!" Zhao's envoy roared, "I have never seen such a strange stone! Wen Manduo, are you deliberately favoring Wen Shuai?"

Zhao's envoy directly called Wen Manduo by his name without any politeness.

A trace of anger flashed across Wen Manduo's face: "Envoy Zhao, although you come from the Wild Desolation Sect, there are probably many treasures in this world that you have never seen!"

"I don't believe it, let me try one!"

"Try one!?" Wen Manduo almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Yes, if you don't have a guilty conscience, why don't you dare let me try one!"

At this time, even Wen Manduo wanted to curse Zhao's envoy as an idiot—this treasure is so precious, I only have four left, and you say you want to try one; I wipe, are you really stupid, or do you think I'm stupid!

"Envoy Zhao!" Wen Manduo said sternly, "I guarantee in the name of the Flying Cloud Kingdom's royalty that this strange stone definitely has the effect of enhancing spiritual power!"

The newest and most complete novels are on the Six/9/Book/Bar/First/Release!

"You…" Zhao's envoy snorted and sat back with a sullen face.

When Wen Shuai first took out the strange stone, he confidently said—there could not be such a treasure in the world.

And now, Wen Manduo is guaranteeing with the reputation of the royal family that this treasure is definitely real, isn't this a slap in his face?

However, Zhao's envoy couldn't say anything more! After all, Wen Manduo had even brought out the royal family's reputation, if he continued to be aggressive, then the two sides would really tear their faces apart.

The surrounding discussions made Zhao's envoy feel even more slapped in the face, his face burning.

"His Majesty said that it definitely has an effect, then it definitely has an effect!"

"Yes, a ruler's words are law!"

"This damn Zhao's envoy, just because he's from the Wild Desolation Sect, he acts superior in everything; now it's good, the Third Prince took out a treasure he's never even heard of, and instantly slapped him in the face!"

"He only knows how to pretend!"

"Humph!" Zhao's envoy snorted coldly in frustration, and then looked at Wen Shuai grimly, "You wait, when the birthday battle starts later, you're in for a treat! No matter who comes up from your side, I will cripple him!"

Zhao's envoy looked at the several Wild Desolation Sect disciples beside him, full of confidence.

In his opinion, for the dignified Wild Desolation Sect disciples to participate in this kind of "small fight" birthday battle is simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Any one of these seven Wild Desolation Sect disciples standing on the arena would sweep the entire field, wouldn't they?

"Humph, wait and see!"

In Zhao's envoy's anticipation, the various processes of the birthday celebration passed, and finally, the birthday battle arrived.

According to custom, the person who comes on stage for the opening battle cannot be some small cat or dog, it must be two powerful people to bring up the atmosphere.

"For this first battle, I wonder which two young heroes are willing to come up and show their skills?" The announcer's gaze lingered obscurely between the Great Prince and the Third Prince, the meaning couldn't be clearer—you two are also the protagonists today, this first battle must be done by your people.

On the Great Prince's side, the young man with the hooked nose who begged Xu Ming to slap him at the gate of the imperial city stood up and said with a smile: "For the first battle, let me represent the Great Prince's side!"

He jumped onto the arena and very directly provoked Wen Shuai: "I wonder if there is any genius on the Third Prince's side who is willing to come up and spar?"

Too provocative!

A pointed provocation by name!

Wen Shuai couldn't help but frown slightly. On his side, where would he find a genius who could contend with the Wild Desolation Sect disciples? In this first battle, no matter who goes up, wouldn't they be embarrassing themselves?

"I'll go!"

Just when Wen Shuai was troubled, a voice rang out from the Martial Arts Academy area.

Finally ushering in… the protagonist's face-slapping special event!
