91: Chapter 23: Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part 3)_1 91: Chapter 23: Divine Artifact, Eternal Substitute Puppet (Part 3)_1 Sura froze, his eyes staring blankly at the clear depths of Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.
He unexpectedly gave me a divine artifact.
Shaking his head lightly, he said, “No, I can’t accept it.
Although I don’t know why Director Nina is so good to you, even giving you a divine artifact.
But it’s yours and as a mage, you need it more than I do.
The Eternal Substitute Puppet has only one function, which is unique among the divine artifacts, and that’s why it’s a low ranking artifact.
Still, its usefulness is no less than any divine artifact.
Because its sole ability is to be immune to all physical attacks, including Douqi.” He walked up to Ye Yinzhu and held out the amethyst figure to him again.”
“Sura, are we friends?” Ye Yinzhu asked, frowning.
“Of course we’re friends.” Sura answered without hesitation.
“In that case, among friends, there is no such thing as mine or yours; what’s mine, is yours.
How could I take back something I’ve given?
Do you think our friendship is less valuable than a divine artifact?” There was an edge of anger in Ye Yinzhu’s voice, and his eyes even showed signs of feeling hurt.
“But once the Eternal Substitute Puppet acknowledges a master, it can’t be changed, and it will disappear with the master’s death.
In the history of the Ryuzakinus Continent, only three Eternal Substitute Puppets have ever appeared.
Two of them have already lost their masters through death.
In other words, this is the last one!
Its value cannot even be measured by money.”
Ye Yinzhu didn’t say anything more.
His eyes regained their calm, but now also held a hint of coldness.
Standing up, he said lightly, “I’m going to take a walk, Sura.
I hope that when I e back, it has acknowledged you as his master.” After he said this, he patted Sura’s slender shoulder and left the room.
Sura stood there in a daze.
This was the first time he had seen Ye Yinzhu like this since they had met.
He knew that he had hurt Yin Zhu.
Crystal-clear tears streamed down his cheeks, “Yin Zhu, do you really think I’m more important than anything else?
Fool, you really are a fool.” Looking at the amethyst figure in his hand, he realized that this invaluable divine artifact seemed to mean nothing in parison to his relationship with Ye Yinzhu.
At least, pared to that, this was simply an object, nothing more.
Wiping away his tears, Sura laughed—a sweet laugh.
Holding the amethyst figure in both hands, as if he were holding his relationship with Ye Yinzhu, he realized he had earned the most precious thing in the world.
Without hesitation, he bit his finger and dropped a bead of bright red blood onto the amethyst figure.
The blood disappeared as if absorbed by a sponge.
A faint purple halo rose from the foot of the figure and, in the blink of an eye, spread across the entire figure.
Gradually, the figure began to change.
As if the amethyst had e alive, layer after layer of purple haloes spread out, and its form began to shift.
The slender and tall figure now had modest bumps on the chest, and delicate features silently appeared.
A blush spread over Sura’s face, his blood was the bridge between him and the Eternal Substitute Puppet.
The faint purple halo on the amethyst figure enlarged abruptly after it pletely changed its appearance.
The same way the purple entered Ye Yinzhu’s body, it merged into Sura’s.
Ye Yinzhu stood on a footpath outside the villa, looking at his dormitory and muttered to himself, “Sura, don’t disappoint me.
If our friendship can be measured by items, would it still be considered friendship?”
He held out his hand, looked at the address on the note, and glanced at his dorm one more time.
With a burst of Zhu Douqi, he disappeared at the end of the path.
pared to the Divine Music Department, where nearly everyone had a private villa, the Summoning Department’s dorms were incredibly lavish.
However, only students with a lot of money or strong abilities could have their own dorms.
Ma Liang was obviously the latter.
At this moment, Ma Liang was lying on the bed with a furrowed brow.
His head hurt.
Not because he had overexerted his magical power in the afternoon, but because Vielli, the Director of the Summoning Department, had been bothering him here all afternoon and just left.
However, he was somewhat relieved, glad that the other five of the Six Silver Dragon Weapons, except for the Silver Dragon’s Blood, had already acknowledged their masters.
Otherwise, Vielli might have actually taken them to pensate for the loss of the Eternal Substitute Puppet.
“Ma Liang, I’m here.” Ye Yinzhu’s bright voice echoed from outside the dorm, making Ma Liang stand up quickly.
“Ye Yinzhu?
e in.”
Ye Yinzhu flashed in.
Today, Ma Liang gave him the exact address of this dorm room on the note at the testing site.
With a slightly shaky figure, Ma Liang pulled a chair and spoke sincerely, “Thank you, Ye Yinzhu, for today.
I heard everything, and if it weren’t for you, I would’ve been killed by your friend.
I thought I would be able to control the Silver Dragon, but I lost control at the last moment.
Fortunately, you were blessed and there, else I don’t know how I could’ve explained.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled, “Accidents are bound to happen in petitions.
It’s all in the past now.
Just call me Yin Zhu.”
Looking at him, Ma Liang laughed.
He realized that this heir of the Zither Sect was more likable than he had imagined, innocent to the point that he did not hold grudges.
Ma Liang walked to the window and looked out before returning and speaking in a hushed tone, “Yin Zhu, I never thought I would meet you at the Milan Magic Martial Academy.
If I’m not mistaken, you must be a disciple of the Zither Sect Master.
Only he could train such an excellent master like you.”
Ye Yinzhu laughed, “What master am I.
I just entered the Sword Spirit and Zither Realm during the match with Nesta.
You’re much stronger than me.
If it weren’t for my Life Guardian blocking your attack today, I would’ve lost already.”
Ma Liang smirked, “I also used a power that was not my own.
Everyone has magical items, your Life Guardian just happened to counter my Silver Dragon.
We’re even.
Let’s drop the formalities.
Did the Zither Sect Master send you here?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded.
With a thoughtful expression, Ma Liang said, “So, there are three members of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans in the academy.
Yin Zhu, be careful whatever you do in the future.
Although I don’t know why the academy dean has been covering for you regarding the matter of skipping ranks, you might not be so lucky in the future.
As a member of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, you need to be more cautious about everything you do.”
Ye Yinzhu looked at him in surprise, “Why?
Are we eastern dragons unworthy of being seen by others?”
A flash of cold light glinted in Ma Liang’s eyes.
“Of course not.
But we’re not strong enough right now, not even close to peting with Faran’s Seventh Tower.
So, we have to endure.
Otherwise, once we’re considered heretics and taken away, there’s no chance of getting out alive.”
Ye Yinzhu frowned, “I don’t understand what our relationship with Faran’s Seventh Tower is.”
Ma Liang looked surprised, “You don’t know?
Didn’t the Zither Sect Master tell you about the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head blankly, ” Grandpa Qin never told me anything!
He just said to conceal my strength from others and not to talk about our Zither Sect.”
