The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2629 - 2618: Ended Before It Began?

"You—"

Shen Han was slightly taken aback, he didn’t expect Elder Zhao to dare not give him face?

But Elder Zhao is narrow-minded, he imagined a lot on his own, and said such words impulsively in this situation.

Words spoken are like water spilled, they cannot be taken back now.

As for Elder Zhao now, he can only press on, although Shen Han and Xiao Feifei are direct disciples of two ancestors of the Soul Instrument Pavilion, there are four ancestors in total, divided into two different camps, maybe he can join the other camp.

Liu Yanrong’s face was slightly pale, she hadn’t anticipated the situation developing to this point.

If she had known Shen Han and Xiao Feifei would intervene, she absolutely wouldn’t have taken the risk of throwing herself into Elder Zhao’s embrace.

Xiao Feifei’s brows furrowed; it was evident she was angry, as she usually showed no expression.

She and Shen Han believed Ye Chenfeng had great potential, that was why they wanted to befriending him, but who would have thought they would be interrupted by Elder Zhao, who lacked discernment.

The disciples below the high platform, huddling together and whispering among themselves.

Some disciples quietly left, after all, the rules of the Soul Instrument Pavilion can’t be broken, Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s meddling was against the rules, providing another camp with ammunition.

Shen Han angrily questioned, "Elder Zhao, do you really want to continue this duel?"

Elder Zhao’s face shifted under the questioning of Shen Han, but then he abruptly received a transmission in his mind: "Continue, don’t worry, someone will protect you."

"You are engaging in an open duel with him, no one can say anything, and the ones to be questioned ultimately will be Shen Han and Xiao Feifei."

Elder Zhao realized the voice was undoubtedly from an Artifact Refiner in another camp and felt emboldened with this assurance, determined to cripple Ye Chenfeng.

Since he had already offended Shen Han and Xiao Feifei, he might as well offend them fully, since he planned to join the other camp anyway.

"When could the rules of the Soul Instrument Pavilion be changed? Today, this boy accepted my duel, why should I step back?"

"And Elder Wang also lost to me, we agreed on everything beforehand, he deserved the outcome he got."

Elder Zhao stared directly into Shen Han’s eyes.

Shen Han’s face turned completely dark, and just at this moment, two more figures appeared on the high platform, two youths who looked about Shen Han’s age.

They were named Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi, both Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners, and similarly, their cultivation was at the level of Half-step Divine Venerable.

Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi were direct disciples of two ancestors from the other camp, although they were also Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners, their Artifact Refining level was not as strong as Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s.

Even within the same grade, the skill level of Artifact Refiners varies, and Xiao Feifei was the strongest among the four.

Furthermore, Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi’s combat prowess couldn’t match Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s, they were constantly suppressed within the Soul Instrument Pavilion by Shen Han and Xiao Feifei. However, as direct disciples, they held a certain status within the pavilion.

"Shen Han, Xiao Feifei, when did you have the time to interfere in outer sect affairs? I’ve heard you are ignoring even the rules of the Soul Instrument Pavilion? What exactly are you trying to do?" Duan Yan questioned coldly.

Liu Tongshi also said, "Shen Han, Xiao Feifei, you aren’t people who like to meddle, your actions today have completely violated the rules of the Soul Instrument Pavilion, be ready to face the consequences!"

Shen Han and Xiao Feifei’s expressions were icy; if Elder Zhao had relented, the matter could have been resolved perfectly today.

Yet the result was, not only did they fail to help Ye Chenfeng, but they dragged themselves into the conflict.

Now the situation had evolved into a struggle between the two camps within the Soul Instrument Pavilion.

Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi had a general understanding of the matter, their gaze focused on Ye Chenfeng.

Liu Tongshi sneered: "This is our Soul Instrument Pavilion, and yet a mere man from the Middle Realm dares to act rashly here, don’t you consider our pavilion to count for anything? Don’t think that just because you have a bit of cultivation and talent, you can behave arrogantly here; soon your Dantian will be destroyed, and you’ll be thrown out of the pavilion like a dead dog."

Duan Yan said, "Since you’ve already agreed to Elder Zhao’s duel, then let it begin; if you want to back out, it would count as your loss."

With Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi’s backing, Elder Zhao was even less fearful as he looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Tell me, how do you want to conduct the duel? What grade weapon should we refine?"

Ye Chenfeng said calmly, "You want me to choose? Then let’s refine the grade that Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners would refine. Do you have any problem with that?"

Elder Zhao’s face changed dramatically, he was only a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner, could Ye Chenfeng really be an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner? That was impossible, given Ye Chenfeng’s unmatched cultivation at such a young age, even if he embarked on the path of Artifact Refining early, he could never reach the level of Eighth Grade.

"Boy, are you deliberately trying to make trouble?" Elder Zhao’s face darkened.

Ye Chenfeng no longer wanted to waste time, he glanced at Shen Han and asked, "Do you have tools for testing Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners?"

Shen Han was stunned for a moment, then took out a stele from his storage ring, specifically used for testing Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners, with an accuracy of one hundred percent.

The stele had eight slots from bottom to top, if one reached the topmost slot, it would indicate that the tester is at least an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner.

After Shen Han took out the stele and explained its purpose, Ye Chenfeng placed his palm directly on the stele.

From the lowest slot, a blue color surged upward.

This demonstrated that Ye Chenfeng was indeed an Artifact Refiner.

Soon, the blue color spread to the topmost slot, filling the entire stele.

Everyone remained stunned, unable to recover.

Was Ye Chenfeng really an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner?

This stele could only test up to the eighth grade, naturally unable to determine Ye Chenfeng’s real Artifact Refiner grade.

But the accuracy of this testing stele is extremely high, once tested, it will never be incorrect.

An Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner against a Seventh Rank Artifact Refiner?

This duel hadn’t even started, and it was already as good as over, wasn’t it?

Elder Zhao looked at the stele filled with blue, completely stupefied, caught in a frenzied daze, shaking his head constantly.
