One Person, One Staff

Wan Lin put away the spirit armor, and Liu Chenzhao returned to Liu Dezhu's side, feeling depressed.

It's important to know that spirit armor is more precious than spirit weapons, since the materials used to forge spirit armor are also more specialized.

Today, Liu Dezhu's so-called gift-giving was, in essence, a way to showcase his son's abilities and let everyone see that his son could even forge spirit armor.

However, Chu Xinghe's transfer was something Liu Dezhu never expected.

The reason given for transferring the gift was actually because purple suits a junior sister very well, and it has a very charming feel to it?

Are you trying to rhyme with me?

"Hahaha... Brother Liu prepared a gift, and so did I. Benchao, why don't you present your gift?"

Wang Tieshan's son, Wang Benchao, also stepped out from the Wang Lineage's group. He opened the box he was carrying in front of everyone; it contained a long sword. However, the long sword shimmered with a ghostly blue light, indicating that the sword had been imbued with a spirit, and the quality of the imbuing was quite good.

The elder smiled and then gestured towards Chu Xinghe, indicating that Chu Xinghe should handle the matter.

"I remember Senior Brother Shen Chun uses a sword, right? Blue represents melancholy, which matches Senior Brother Shen Chun 'Senior Brother Shen Chun temperament perfectly, so let's give it to him."

"Hehe, thanks for thinking of me, junior brother." Shen Chun smiled and stepped forward to take the longsword from Wang Benchao's hand.

But Wang Benchao suddenly took a step back.

"Elder, although this sword isn't of the highest quality, its spirit enchantment is blue water spirit, which is extremely precious. Shall I demonstrate this sword here?"

Upon hearing Wang Benchao's words, the Grand Elder's expression changed slightly.

What kind of bullshit is this sword demonstration?

To put it bluntly, this little brat is unhappy that Chu Xinghe so casually handed over the sword, using blue to represent melancholy.

While it seemed to be about testing the sword, it was actually a way of saying that Chu Xinghe lacked discernment, couldn't appreciate the precious spiritual energy attached to the weapon, and was just giving it away blindly.

"That's right, we should give it a try. Let's give my Mountain and River Cloud-Pattern Armor a shot too." Liu Chenzhao jumped in at this moment.

Not only was Wang Benchao unhappy, but he was unhappy too.

You just said "Junior Sister, purple is very charming" and gave away my painstakingly crafted spirit armor. Do you know how ferocious my spirit armor is?

This Chu Xinghe has no idea what's good for him!

"It's worth a try." Although the First Elder was somewhat displeased, he was, after all, the master, so he didn't say much.

"Thank you, Elder. Then why don't you ask Brother Xinghe to give it a try for us?" Wang Benchao was determined to cause trouble.

He then looked directly at Chu Xinghe.

The moment he said those words, even the expressions on his two fathers' faces changed.

Chu Xinghe's way of giving out the gift was indeed a bit casual, but since the gift was given to the Vast Heaven Sect, it's their sect's business who receives it.

It's one thing for Wang Benchao to jump out and say he wanted to try out the treasure, but to ask Chu Xinghe to try it out is a bit too much.

What is Chu Xinghe's identity?

Wang Benchao and Liu Chenzhao couldn't understand it, but the two family heads could.

In this situation, the Grand Elder allowed Chu Xinghe to distribute the gifts as he pleased, and even with such an absurd reason, the Grand Elder showed no dissatisfaction. This alone made both family heads realize that Chu Xinghe was even closer to the Grand Elder than his own son.

Are you two out of your minds to send Chu Xinghe to make a move now?

Just as the two heads of the family were about to speak up to stop them, Chu Xinghe said, "Gentlemen, my cultivation is low, and I might hurt myself without restraint. It would be bad if I damaged the treasure. Junior Sister Wan Lin, why don't you try it with me?"

"Yes!"

Wan Lin jumped out again, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction as he looked at Wang and Liu.

Are those two bastards tired of living?

They actually let Senior Brother Xinghe accompany them to try?

You two should take a good look at yourselves in the mirror. What kind of trash are you? Do you even deserve to make Senior Brother Xinghe take action?

Senior Brother Xinghe could knock your brains out with a single casual move!

Wan Lin was furious. He walked to the center of the arena, then tossed the elegant spirit armor he had just acquired to Liu Chenzhao, and pointed at Wang Benchao: "Don't waste time, you two come at me together!"

Liu Chenzhao put on his spirit armor, while Wang Benchao picked up his spirit sword.

"This isn't a good idea... It's just a trial, what if we get hurt..." Wang Benchao wanted to say, "It would be bad if you got hurt."

But before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared in Wan Lin's hand, and the next second, the Coiling Dragon Three-Section Staff, imbued with the Staff Intent, appeared in Wan Lin's hand.

The moment the Nine Nines Return to One to One Staff Intent appeared, the Wang and Liu families' expressions changed drastically.

"This is... Staff Intent?"

"This is the strongest Staff Intent of Nine Nines Return to One... This woman actually possesses such Staff Intent?"

"How old is this girl... yet she has already comprehended the Staff Intent? Is the Vast Heaven Sect really that powerful?"

While the Wang and Liu families were still in awe, Wan Lin had already made his move, wielding his Ruyi Staff Technique, transforming the Coiling Dragon Three-Section Staff into a giant chicken leg.

With a sudden thrust, the chicken leg aimed directly at Liu Chenzhao. Liu Chenzhao tried to retreat, but how could he possibly outrun Wan Lin's Staff Intent?

The blow was like Venomous Dragon Drill!

It struck Liu Chenzhao directly in the chest.

With a crisp "crack," the spirit armor lost its charm, the purple light dissipated, and the armor shattered.

Wan Lin ignored Liu Chenzhao, who had been instantly killed by his Venomous Dragon Drill, and turned around to sweep towards Wang Benchao.

Wang Benchao raised his sword to block, but the Staff Intent struck the blue sword directly.

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, the spirit sword broke into three pieces and fell to the ground.

Wan Lin put away the big chicken leg and looked at Wang and Liu lying on the ground with disdain.

"It seems this spirit armor's defensive capabilities aren't very good. Senior Brother Xinghe, I don't want it anymore. Next time, you should find a spirit armor comparable to the Ancient Spirit Rhinoceros Bloodline before giving it to me."

"Senior Brother Shen Chun, this spirit sword is far inferior to yours. You won't blame me for destroying it, will you?"

Wan Lin looked aggrieved, and Shen Chun quickly waved his hand to say no, no, but the Liu Lineage and Wang Lineage at the scene were completely dumbfounded.

One man, one staff; spirit armor shattered, spirit sword broken!

This girl's strength is terrifyingly high?

When she mentioned the Spirit Rhinoceros Bloodline, the Wang and Liu families remembered that everyone knew that Chu Xinghe had instantly killed the Ancient Spirit Rhinoceros Bloodline inheritor of Martial Emperor City with a single sword strike.

What does it mean to bring shame upon oneself?

Now both families truly understand.

Wang Benchao and Liu Chenzhao are no ordinary people. They come from the Liu Lineage and Wang Lineage and are considered to be the pride of heaven. There are very few people who can actually go toe-to-toe with them.

But in front of Wan Lin, the two of them wouldn't even have the right to resist, let alone fight.

This is outrageous!

I knew the Vast Heaven Sect was terrifying, but I never imagined that this generation of the Vast Heaven Sect disciples would be this terrifying?

Wan Lin is already this terrifying. Judging from the way she looks at Chu Xinghe with such admiration, just how strong must Chu Xinghe be?

Unfathomable!

Wang Benchao and Liu Chenzhao lay on the ground, their faces blank with numbness.

They jumped out earlier to express their dissatisfaction with Chu Xinghe's casual distribution of the treasures they had given them, but now... they don't need to be dissatisfied anymore, because all the gifts are gone.

But the most humiliating thing was that the two most outstanding young disciples were so humiliated in front of a junior sister, and they brought it upon themselves. This made the two of them wish they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into right now.

"Wan Lin! I let you try out this treasure, and you destroyed it! You're so rough! I'm punishing you by sending you to the Technique Repository Tower to learn the techniques and improve your self-control!"

"Senior Brother Xinghe is right, Wan Lin shall accept the punishment."

Wan Lin went back with a big smile.

This is nothing... I have to go to the Technique Repository Tower to study anyway.

"Alright, alright, let's continue the banquet," the First Elder said cheerfully.

Should we let Xinghe test the treasure?

You two are really asking for trouble!

You two should be thankful. If it were Purple Lightning Flash from the Xinghe, you two would be ashes by now.

Wang and Liu were taken back to Lineage respective Lineage by their clansmen, both looking utterly dejected.

I wanted to show off, but I ended up being the one who got shown off.

No one paid any attention to the two self-humiliated fellows, and the banquet continued. However, everyone suddenly realized that there were actually three families present today.

The Wang Lineage and Liu Lineage are showing off so much, but what about the Ouyang Lineage?

Upon seeing it, even the Grand Elder was stunned.

Ouyang Ming and his sister Ouyang Ling, along with Ouyang Lineage disciples, sat at the very edge of the banquet, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around Ouyang Lineage.

Right now, Ouyang Ming is grabbing a roast chicken and gobbling it down, while Ouyang Ling has already eaten two-thirds of the braised pork knuckle in her hand.

The Ouyang Lineage disciples behind them swept through the enemy ranks like a whirlwind.

"Big brother... do you have any new dishes? If not, some staple food would be fine too... leftovers will do if you really can't."

"There's no leftover food..." The junior apprentice in charge of serving the dishes had tears in his eyes.

There are still leftovers. If our kitchen staff hadn't discovered them early, all the livestock at the Spirit Crane Palace would have gone hungry tonight.

The Ouyang Lineage was truly a breath of fresh air at the banquet.

They didn't speak, they didn't fight, they didn't offer treasures, they just ate their fill!

The other tables haven't even started eating yet, while the Ouyang Lineage is almost at their second table.

Several of the most voracious disciples of the Ouyang Lineage finished their meal and even went to join the Liu Lineage and Wang Lineage's groups, sitting down without any ceremony and starting to eat.

Although the First Elder had heard some of the stories about the Ouyang Lineage's kitchen adventures, he was still completely bewildered when he saw it with his own eyes.

Looking at the Ouyang Lineage, Feng Fei had only one thought at that moment...

Surely those sects couldn't have been bankrupted by the Ouyang Lineage, could they?

"Ahem... Ouyang Lineage, you have quite the appetite. But what gift have you prepared for today?"

Liu Dezhu couldn't sit still any longer. If we're going to lose face, we'll lose face together today.

My Liu Lineage and the Wang Lineage have already lost face, and you, the Ouyang Lineage, are you just eating your fill? Are you implying that our actions are something to be savored?

"Yes, yes, the Ouyang Lineage is a thousand-year-old family, so the gifts they prepared must be extraordinary." Wang Tieshan also chimed in.

"Ouyang Lineage? Ouyang Lineage!" Wang Tieshan shouted twice before Ouyang Ming realized that he was being addressed.

"Ah? Delicious... delicious... the food tastes amazing, absolutely amazing..."

Did I ask you if the food was good?!

The heads of the Wang and Liu families were so angry they almost wet themselves.

Helpless, Wang Tieshan repeated himself again.

This time, Ouyang Ming heard clearly: a treasure?

Aren't we, brother and sister, the greatest treasure of the Ouyang Lineage?

Or... should we give my sister to Chu Xinghe?

Ouyang Ming looked at his younger sister beside him. Ouyang Ling seemed to understand her brother's thoughts, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Never mind... little sister, you're not good enough for Brother Xinghe!

Ouyang Ling: "???"
