Chapter 297 - Consecutive Guesses and Wins

Holding An Li’s hand, Ye Haochuan followed the referee behind the arena and arrived in front of a wall.

This wall was very peculiar; each brick was several sizes larger than ordinary bricks.

In front of the wall, there were two Innate Masters as imposing as iron towers, their expressions stern.

As they approached, a door suddenly appeared in the wall between these two Innate Masters.

“Go on in,” said the referee.

After speaking, he gestured for Ye Haochuan to enter.

However, An Li was stopped and had to stay outside.

“Wait for me outside, I’ll be out shortly,” Ye Haochuan gave An Li a kiss goodbye and pushed the door open to walk in.

Upon entering, Ye Haochuan was suddenly struck by the realization that this place was an entirely different world; the vast space was as bright as daylight, with countless treasure boxes floating in the void, packed densely and innumerable.

Below the void, several Outer Sect Disciples were gathered together, all looking worried and distressed.

To his surprise, Fairy Yao, Huo Mengyao, was among them, but when she saw him, her expression turned somewhat unfriendly.

Come on, I didn’t force myself on you.

Is that sort of face really necessary?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered with her and continued forward.

At that moment, a voice resonant as a great bell came from the void, “Congratulations to Black Bat for achieving first place in the Mid-Stage Postnatal ranking list.

You have three opportunities to choose, begin now.”

Ye Haochuan looked up and saw countless treasure boxes suspended in the void.

His scalp tingled with indecision, not knowing which one to pick.

A thought crossed his mind, and he activated his Perspective Eyes once more only to find that many of the treasure boxes were empty.

However, a very small portion contained treasures, whether pills, weapons, equipment, or pill furnaces, in various degrees of abundance and of different grades.

Recalling his need for a significant amount of alchemy and the fact that he couldn’t do without a pill furnace, thankfully, he spotted one that was shining with golden light.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Haochuan was ecstatic to see the Strange Fire King Cauldron, an excellent treasure for alchemy!

In the memories passed down from Holy Hand, the Strange Fire King Cauldron was an extremely precious artifact for Disciples in the Postnatal Realm.

Without further ado, Ye Haochuan reported the number of the treasure box containing the pill furnace.

Immediately, the voice in the void responded, “Congratulations, Black Bat, you’ve acquired the Top-Grade Talisman Instrument, Strange Fire King Cauldron.”

As soon as the voice announced this, the whispering Outer Sect Disciples stared wide-eyed in amazement, looking towards Ye Haochuan with envy and buzzing with discussion.

“No way.

This kid is that lucky?

He got a Top-Grade Talisman Instrument on his first try?”

“Damn it, it’s really infuriating to compare with others.

Although this Strange Fire King Cauldron is useless to me, it’s better than nothing at all!”

“Exactly, the Strange Fire King Cauldron might not be very useful for us martial cultivators.

But we can barter it with Medicinal Cultivators and Pill Cultivators’ Disciples.

Considering its value, we don’t know how many pills it could fetch us, sigh.”

Meanwhile, Fairy Yao, Huo Mengyao, who used to have quite the issue with him, couldn’t believe that he could be so lucky.

She knew that she had entered this place over a hundred times without ever winning anything.

Yet this damned Black Bat got a Top-Grade Talisman Instrument on his first try, stirring up tremendous envy.

Under everyone’s gaze, the treasure box containing the Strange Fire King Cauldron slowly descended to land in front of Ye Haochuan.

Damn, having Perspective cheats is freaking awesome!

Haha!

Feeling the scorching stares around him, Ye Haochuan suppressed the thrill in his heart and took out the Strange Fire King Cauldron.

This Strange Fire King Cauldron was not very large, but it was extremely heavy, weighing at least a thousand pounds.

Its surface was patinated copper, radiating a multicolored luster, with intricate inscriptions and various talismans engraved on it, clearly not an ordinary item.

“Black Bat, please continue with your selection,” the resounding bell-like voice spoke again from the void.

“Alright!” Ye Haochuan nodded, performed Blood Droplet Recognition with the Strange Fire King Cauldron, and placed it into his storage ring before he looked up to continue his Perspective survey.

Having acquired the pill furnace, Ye Haochuan then focused his attention on treasures like weapons, equipment, and Technique Manuals.

Suddenly, a Technique Manual named “Extreme Ice Cotton Palm” caught his eye.

Remembering that he was about to visit the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, Ye Haochuan nodded, thinking, good, this will be it!

Subsequently, Ye Haochuan reported the number of the treasure box.

“Congratulations, Black Bat, you’ve acquired the Top-Grade Technique Manual ‘Extreme Ice Cotton Palm’!”

As soon as the voice spread, the gathering of Outer Sect Disciples instantly buzzed with shock.

“Did that Black Bat’s ancestors’ graves burst with green smoke or something?

How could he still be so lucky and actually draw a top-grade technique?”

“I can’t live like this anymore!

I’ve come to this damned place hundreds of times, each time coming back empty-handed, and yet he struck gold not once, but twice!”

“The ‘Extreme Ice Cotton Palm’!

So many people have dreamt of acquiring this elusive skill, and yet it fell into his hands.

I don’t want to live anymore.”

Listening to the different sounds of envy and hatred around him, Ye Haochuan felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

Damn it, with such a powerful technique, whoever pisses me off in the future will get a slap from me, freezing the hell out of them.

Huo Mengyao was no longer composed at this point.

How could this Black Bat be so accurate in his picks?

It’s too freakish!

Then, the voice from the void sounded again: “Black Bat, please continue.”

Given such a good opportunity, Ye Haochuan naturally wouldn’t pass it up, not caring about the various strange gazes around him.

His gaze kept moving until he quickly noticed a whole set of top-grade talisman defensive equipment.

Holy shit, top-grade talisman defensive equipment set!

This is a set, way cooler than the Golden Silk Soft Armor I’m wearing.

Ye Haochuan’s eyes started to gleam intensely.

Although this set of equipment was a notch below the Golden Silk Soft Armor, after all, it was complete and its overall defensive capabilities were much stronger than the Golden Silk Soft Armor.

Moreover, the Golden Silk Soft Armor is a magic artifact, and with his current Postnatal Cultivation, he doesn’t have the mana, hence he can’t activate the Golden Silk Soft Armor or maximize its power.

“Settled!”

Ye Haochuan immediately excitedly repeated the code number of the set of defensive equipment’s treasure case.

“Congratulations to you, Black Bat, for acquiring a top-grade talisman defensive equipment set.”

As soon as this news came out, the entire field of Outer Sect Disciples exploded, their envy and jealousy were mixed with doubts about him cheating.

Given that the chances to select treasures here were already slim, no one expected that Black Bat would hit the jackpot three times in a row.

That was simply defying heaven!

“Cheating?

If you’ve got the skills, why don’t you cheat and have a look?” Ye Haochuan obviously wouldn’t admit to having Perspective cheats, and scoffed dismissively, “Please, it’s my first time here, okay?”

Ignoring these envious glances, Ye Haochuan then opened the falling treasure case, completed the Blood Droplet Recognition, took off the Golden Silk Soft Armor, put it into the storage ring, and finally put on the defensive equipment set.

Just like the Golden Silk Soft Armor, this defensive equipment set also had the effect of becoming transparent and fused with the skin, making it quite comfortable.

Feeling the gaze of the surrounding disciples growing more and more jealous, Ye Haochuan knew if he stayed any longer, conflicts might erupt, so he quickly made his exit.

But the situation outside was even worse.

Apparently, the people outside could also see what was happening inside the treasure space.

So, as soon as Ye Haochuan came out, he was immediately stared down by countless envious eyes, reaching the peak of their envy.

Among the crowd, the only one who was genuinely happy for him was An Li.

“Little brother, how are you so amazing?

Out of so many treasure cases, how did you keep guessing right?” An Li exclaimed with joy.

Ye Haochuan chuckled, “Of course, it’s a matter of character.”

“Whatever!” An Li rolled her eyes at him with a smile brimming with laughter.

“We have to go quickly.

With so many red eyes around, I’m afraid if we stay here any longer, we won’t be able to leave later,” Ye Haochuan urged hastily.

Glancing around, An Li found she concurred, nodding and saying, “Mm.”

In fact, they were being overly concerned.

In the past, disciples who won treasures would often be sent away through a secret passage by the Arena, and someone like him, who won three times in a row, would definitely be protected closely.

However, no matter how tight the security, there can still be loopholes, and before the two could leave the basement, people outside had already received the news.

The two were destined to face an imminent storm of blood and violence!

PS: I apologize for missing the update yesterday.

Ah, due to the house purchase and the bank loan not being approved, I had to go back to my hometown to borrow money.

Thankfully, the loan went smoothly!

The house can be kept!
