Elder Zhao showcased his mastery in crafting longswords, achieving eight resonances with his lower grade treasure. However, Ye Chenfeng, despite his initial rustiness and rapid crafting speed, astonishingly produced a lower grade treasure with twenty resonances, far surpassing Elder Zhao's achievement and leaving his detractors speechless.

The air seemed to be frozen at this moment.

Time seemed to be fixed at this moment.

The lower grade artifact refined by Ye Chenfeng resonated no less than twenty times with the high platform.

This can be said to be unprecedented; producing ten resonances would already be quite remarkable.

Throughout the Soul Instrument Pavilion, the weapons refined to achieve ten perfect resonances are only done by a few ancestors, and it’s extremely rare for them to achieve ten resonances, let alone surpassing ten. No one within the pavilion can do it.

Ye Chenfeng sensed the number of resonances, and inside he smiled bitterly. He had just feared failing miserably, so he focused a bit more seriously, not expecting such an astonishing outcome. It wasn’t the result he wanted; he only wished to surpass Elder Zhao slightly, but didn’t expect to beat him by miles.

Everyone present was still unable to recover from the shock.

Just then.

Two elderly men suddenly appeared on the high platform.

Their appearance was so abrupt that no one saw how they arrived.

They were two of the ancestors in the Soul Instrument Pavilion, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an.

Li Muyan was Xiao Feifei’s master, at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, and also an authentic Supreme Artifact Refiner.

Shi Wan’an was Shen Han’s master, at the later stages of the Divine Emperor Realm, and likewise a Supreme Artifact Refiner.

The twenty resonances just produced shocked Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an, and they rushed over immediately.

Twenty resonances indeed; since embarking on the path of artifact refining, neither of them had ever surpassed ten.

Suddenly aware of twenty resonances, how could they not rush over in time?

Upon reaching the high platform, Shen Han and Xiao Feifei, who were trapped in shock, regained their senses.

Shen Han explained the cause and effect of the situation, still unable to completely break free from the shock; Ye Chenfeng exceeded his expectations again and again.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an listened, nodding repeatedly, their eyes focused on Ye Chenfeng.

These two elders, with peak and late Divine Emperor Realm strength, made Ye Chenfeng very uncomfortable being stared at.

With Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an’s arrival, the other people present gradually regained their senses, each greeting the two ancestors respectfully.

Elder Zhao’s face was somewhat pale; originally, when the number of resonances he produced came out, he thought he was sure to win, but in the end, he lost so miserably, unable to accept this reality.

"Impossible, something must have gone wrong. That kid’s refined lower grade artifact definitely couldn’t have produced twenty resonances." Elder Zhao shouted insanely.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an frowned slightly, very displeased with Elder Zhao’s raving.

Shi Wan’an waved his sleeve, sending a fierce force straight to Elder Zhao’s cheek: "I despise those who don’t admit defeat after losing."

Struck by the force, Elder Zhao was flung several meters away, half his cheek then caving in.

Facing Ye Chenfeng, Shi Wan’an showed a kind expression.

"Young friend, you’re impressive! Producing twenty resonances makes this old man truly admire you." Shi Wan’an smiled.

Li Muyan also said: "Young friend, we will handle things here for you. Seems the Soul Instrument Pavilion needs some reform; such corrupt individuals should be removed soon."

As he spoke, Li Muyan glanced at Elder Zhao, who was flung by Shi Wan’an.

Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi dared not make a sound, shivering in fear, knowing things might really escalate.

Ye Chenfeng, in response to Shi Wan’an and Li Muyan’s friendliness, smiled and nodded.

Shi Wan’an looked at the people of the Soul Instrument Pavilion and commanded: "No one is to leak today’s events, violators will be expelled from the pavilion."

Just as Shi Wan’an’s voice fell.

Two figures appeared on the high platform; the two also elderly figures were Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi, another two ancestors of the Soul Instrument Pavilion.

Qi Kangfu was Duan Yan’s master, at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, also a Supreme Artifact Refiner.

And Zhang Hezhi was Liu Tongshi’s master, in the later stages of the Divine Emperor Realm, naturally also a Supreme Artifact Refiner.

The four ancestors of the Soul Instrument Pavilion.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an were in the same faction, while Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi were in another.

These two factions within the Soul Instrument Pavilion frequently compete, their conflicts resulting in wins and losses on both sides.

Seeing their masters appear, Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi’s moods were relieved, and they immediately explained the situation briefly, naturally siding with Elder Zhao.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi, after hearing the sequence of events, nodded slightly, occasionally fixing their gaze on Ye Chenfeng, of course noticing the twenty resonances earlier.

Since Elder Zhao intended to side with them, pushing him out now would weaken their stance, wouldn’t it?

Although Ye Chenfeng could produce twenty resonances, having learned from Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi that Ye Chenfeng was merely an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi absolutely wouldn’t want to lose momentum to Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an.

"Old Li, Old Shi, let’s end today’s events here! How about you?" Qi Kangfu smiled.

Ye Chenfeng frowned, though indifferent to such a minor figure like Elder Zhao, not feeling obliged to let him go.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an also showed displeasure, having understood the sequence of events.

Honestly, they disliked people like Elder Zhao, and Elder Zhao indeed lost to Ye Chenfeng.

"Old Qi, what kind of talk is that? This was a mutually agreed duel; now that the result is out, how can it just end?" Li Muyan retorted.

Qi Kangfu looked at Ye Chenfeng, smiling: "Perhaps the person involved wants it to end here?"

A seemingly normal remark, yet it contained a threat.

Ye Chenfeng has always been one who resists threats, and he was exceptionally displeased with Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi. With Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an supporting him, he felt even less constrained in the pavilion.

Ye Chenfeng calmly stated: "Why should I end it here?"

Having said that.

He suddenly appeared before Elder Zhao.

With a "puff!" sound.

Casually disabling Elder Zhao’s Dantian; with only Divine Venerable Realm strength, Elder Zhao had no power to resist against Ye Chenfeng.
