"No, I must calm down!"
The old man Xi muttered to himself, because it’s most taboo to have a fluctuating mind when engraving inscriptions.
Having lived to such an age, his Qi cultivation skills were actually quite good, and he quickly cald down!
Next, he concentrated intensely on engraving, no longer paying attention to that young man!
Su Chen was also observing from the side. This old man Xi was engraving a sharp-based inscription, which, when used on a weapon, could significantly increase its sharpness!
It must be said, old man Xi’s mastery in the path of inscriptions far exceeded Ren Chenghan’s by a great deal!
Ren Chenghan himself was quite amazed, because the inscription that old man Xi was engraving was a fifth-level inscription!
Although it’s among the more primary rank of fifth-level inscriptions, it’s still a fifth-level inscription!
In the entire Eastern Continent, how many people could engrave a fifth-level inscription?!
Put it this way, it’s easier to understand: the first-level inscription corresponds to spiritual artifacts, the second-level corresponds to treasured weapons, the third-level corresponds to true artifacts, the fourth-level corresponds to ghost artifacts, and the fifth level, naturally, corresponds to king artifacts!
An inscription master who can forge king artifacts is extrely terrifying in the path of inscriptions, just thinking about it sends chills!
In Ren Chenghan and assistant Cui Ling’s view, by comparison, Su Chen was certainly going to lose, without a shred of winning hope!
Ti slowly passed, old man Xi still focused intensely on engraving, not daring to be negligent in the slightest!
anwhile, Ren Chenghan and Cui Ling stood utterly still, even their breathing slowed down, fearing to disturb this old man Xi!
Finally, an hour passed, old man Xi lifted his head and let out a long breath!
At this mont, his clothes were sowhat wet, indicating how much ntal energy had just been consud!
Looking at the ford inscription, he felt satisfied!
Actually, it was only recently that he could engrave fifth-level inscriptions, and he was worried that he would fail this ti!
If it weren’t for wanting this young fellow to know how big the gap was between them, he wouldn’t have chosen this fifth-level inscription, but rather a fourth-level one!
To him, a fourth-level inscription was enough to crush this young man!
Fortunately, engraving the fifth-level inscription went smoothly this ti!
Regarding this, he was naturally imnsely proud!
It’s known that in the path of inscriptions, advancing by one level is much more difficult than advancing a large cultivation realm!
Ordinary inscription masters, might spend several years, even decades, to advance by one level!
Ren Chenghan and Cui Ling looked at the ford inscription, instantly feeling a sharp aura, seemingly penetrating through the paper, almost blinding!
Both secretly thought:
As expected from a fifth-level inscription, even not engraved on a weapon, it already carries such significance!
"Young man, I’ve finished engraving, how about you?!"
At this ti, the old man Xi disdainfully glanced at the blank scroll in front of Su Chen and said:
"Are you going to admit defeat directly?"
Just now, he had to control his mindset and couldn’t say much. Now that the engraving was completed, it didn’t matter anymore!
Besides, this young fellow was so arrogant, he felt pent-up without saying anything!
"Admit defeat?"
Su Chen smiled faintly:
"You misunderstood!"
"I want to see what you can engrave!"
Seeing Su Chen still being stubborn, the old man Xi flicked his robe.
Ren Chenghan and Cui Ling were also sowhat speechless. They knew Su Chen’s talent in inscriptions was beyond ordinary, but didn’t expect his arrogance to also be unparalleled!
Su Chen smiled lightly without saying anything, and in the next mont, infused his True Yuan into the scroll!
In just about a breath, a complex inscription had ford!
"Since you want to see, then take a good look!"
Su Chen said faintly.
At this mont, whether it was old man Xi, Ren Chenghan, or Cui Ling, they were utterly stupefied, their minds seed vacant, completely dazed!
Each person’s eyes were fixed on the inscription on Su Chen’s scroll!
He actually engraved a sharp-based inscription just like old man Xi!
Even more unbelievably, it was also a fifth-level!
Who would have thought, that this twenty-sothing young man Su Chen would be fifth-level!
What’s more terrifying is that if the sharp aura from the previous inscription seed to penetrate through the paper, that from Su Chen’s newly inscribed aura seed to fly out, like a cold sword piercing through space, brilliance spread across thousands of miles, dazzlingly brilliant!
In other words, Su Chen’s inscription completely crushed the one engraved by old man Xi; they weren’t even on the sa level!
Is this true?
Everyone felt as if it were a dream!
Comparing the ti taken by the two, one engraved carefully and ticulously over an hour, while Su Chen completed almost casually, in just a breath, it was even more utterly unbelievable!
Ren Chenghan felt, in just a few months, Su Chen’s mastery in inscriptions had already undergone a qualitative tamorphosis!
Back then, he could only engrave second-level inscriptions, at most so basic third-level inscriptions, whereas now, a simple drop was an almost perfect fifth-level inscription!
The gap between them was beyond imnse!
The shock to old man Xi was no less than Ren Chenghan’s, his entire being was in confusion!
Because he understood better what it ant to engrave such an inscription in such a short ti!
That was a heaven-defying mastery of inscriptions!
Even those inscription masters who could engrave higher-level inscriptions couldn’t, in such a short ti, engrave such a perfect inscription!
This is similar to a college Chinese major student taking a high school Chinese test, and not possibly scoring full marks so quickly, it’s the sa principle!
He had never seen such a perfect inscription!
"So, who won?"
Su Chen casually asked.
Upon hearing these words, old man Xi finally awoke from the shock, bowed and said:
"Master Su, I lost, completely convinced!"
At this mont, old man Xi couldn’t help but use such a title as ’Master’!
In old man Xi’s view, this contest was completely a joke!
Comparing his mastery in inscriptions to the opponent was in essence an affront to the opponent!
Only now did he understand why this young man didn’t want to compete with him earlier, it wasn’t because he didn’t dare, but because of disdain!
"Master Su, please take back these spirit notes; and this Soul-Nourishing Flower of thirty thousand years is yours!"
Old man Xi said respectfully.
Su Chen nodded, not standing on ceremony, storing the spirit notes and the Soul-Nourishing Flower into the Cang Yue Ring!
At this mont, he looked at old man Xi with a bit more respect, at least his betting etiquette was comndable!
"Master Su, I have an impertinent request, I wonder if you could agree?"
The old man Xi spoke, appearing a bit apprehensive.
