I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 285: That Would Be A Different Price!



Chapter 285: That Would Be A Different Price!

This is the Pagoda Spirit of the God of War Pagoda?

The Pagoda Spirit’s soft and kind voice shocked Qi Shaoxuan.

He stood there calmly and said, “Pagoda Spirit, tell me the rules.”

“Alright, listen carefully.

“The God of War platform is the core for the God of War Pagoda. The projections of prodigies from both the immortal and human worlds could be created here.

“You can challenge all kinds of prodigies here and gain lots of experience from it.

“After you beat a One-Star Prodigy, you will be rewarded with a one-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, you will lose 10 God of War points.

“...”

“Four-Star Prodigy, four-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, it will lose 300 God of War points.

“The rewards for subsequent prodigies follow the same rule, but all of them cost 1,000 God of War points if you lose.

“You can redeem God of War points with Spirit Stones, Dharma treasures, and pills. Each point is worth about 10 Spirit Crystals, that’s 10,000 Spirit Stones.”

...

Qi Shaoxuan listened to what the Pagoda Spirit was saying, and it matched with the information he had gathered from Chen Zhongtian.

He gazed at the two ancient tablets beside the platform and saw many majestic names carved into them.

The bigger and more ancient-looking tablet looked towering and rugged.

The smaller tablet looked much newer than the bigger one.

Qi Shaoxuan did not rush to start the battle. Instead, he read the names on the tablets carefully.

Fang Chang is no weaker than me when I was at Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. He only ranked second on the Rookie God Of War List?

The person who topped this list is Kong Meng, Southern Border’s number one prodigy.

I would really like to fight with her one day!

However, compared to Kong Meng, Qi Shaoxuan wanted to battle Shen Tian more.

He asked, “Pagoda Spirit, there’s a rumor that the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, is the only Seven-Star Prodigy in the five regions. Is that true?”

The Pagoda Spirit replied slowly, “The Divine Firmament Saint chose to hide his name on the God Of War Lists. We have the right to protect all contestants’ privacy. I cannot comment on that.”

Qi Shaoxuan thought for a moment and asked again, “Then, is it possible for me to match up with him in the battle later?”

The Pagoda Spirit kept silent for a moment and said, “There’s a possibility.”

From their short conversation, Qi Shaoxuan believed that the Pagoda Spirit was not as inhumane as he heard from others.

Maybe, I’m very talented and thus gained her favor?

Qi Shaoxuan asked carefully, “Is that a way for me to choose to fight with the Divine Firmament Saint?”

The Pagoda Spirit replied calmly, “In principle, the fights in the God of War Pagoda are random. Normally, we don’t accept an opponent to be chosen.”

In principle? Normally? Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes lit up. So it’s possible!

Qi Shaoxuan quickly said, “To be honest, I’ve always wanted to have a battle with the Divine Firmament Saint. I hope you can help me with that.”

The Pagoda Spirit replied, “Erm... The God of War Pagoda has fixed rules. It would consume great energy to break these rules.”

Qi Shaoxuan said determinedly, “I’m willing to use double, wait, five times the amount to challenge Shen Tian.”

The Pagoda Spirit said softly, “That’s not enough. I need at least 10 times. That’s 10,000 God of War points.”

,000 God of War points?

That was worth 100,000 Spirit Crystals!

Even a supreme-grade Spirit artifact would not cost so much! That was about the price of a pseudo-Divine artifact.

Even many Heavenly Venerables did not have 100,000 Spirit Crystals! That was a huge amount of money!

However, the price was not something Qi Shaoxuan could not afford. He had more than 20 years of providence and had encountered many fortuitous opportunities.

“Sure, I can accept that price!” Qi Shaoxuan frowned a little. “How about the Divine Firmament Saint? Will he know about it?”

The Pagoda Spirit smiled and said, “No worries. We will protect our clients’ privacy no matter what.”

At the same time, Shen Tian was alerted immediately. “What? Qi Shaoxuan wants to challenge me?

“That’s a very good chance!” Shen Tian made up his mind immediately. “Do anything to get as much money from him as possible!”

Back at God of War Pagoda, Qi Shaoxuan had no idea that he had been betrayed on the spot.

Qi Shaoxuan was relieved after hearing what the Pagoda Spirit had said. He poured out all the treasures from his storage ring. “I’ll exchange 30,000 God of War points first!”

,000 God of War points?

The Pagoda Spirit became very excited and said, “Sure, please wait a while. I will account for the cost of these treasures immediately.”

The Spirit artifacts, materials, and treasures disappeared one by one and became Qi Shaoxuan’s God of War points.

Soon, Qi Shaoxuan had 30,000 God of War points in his account.

“Do you want to challenge the Saint immediately?”

...

Qi Shaoxuan thought for a moment. Although he was very confident, he was not in his best condition yet. He believed he should warm up with the Five-Star Prodigies first before beating up the Divine Firmament Saint.

Qi Shaoxuan said, “I will challenge a Five-Star Prodigy first as a warm-up!”

“Five-Star Prodigy pairing... Pairing success. Battle begins!”

Soon, the illusion of the opponent appeared.

It was a young man in red armor. He had a flaming bow in his back, and there were nine golden arrows by his side. His weapon looked rather strong.

“Descendant of the Archer race, Zhu Ri. Nice to meet you.”

Qi Shaoxuan looked Zhu Ri into the eyes, his Heaven’s Halberd glowing.

He could feel that this guy was not weak. In fact, he was stronger than most of the talented cultivators he had defeated before.

At least, Qi Shaoxuan felt that only the four top prodigies of Divine Firmament and Bodhisattva Kuduo on the Golden Core List of Eastern Wilderness could compete with him.

The God of War Pagoda was no joke. Merely a Five-Star Prodigy had the power equivalent to the top three cultivators on the Golden Core List.

However, he was not strong enough for Qi Shaoxuan!

“Purple Aura 30,000 Miles From The East, Eight Wildernesses Halberd!”

Qi Shaoxuan yelled and a purple aura formed around him. It engulfed him and formed a purple armor on his body.

The Black Dragon Armor looked strong enough. After being surrounded by the purple aura, it looked even more terrifying.

The aura was so intense that even Zhu Ri was forced three steps back.

“What great pressure, but I’ll be the one standing!”

He raised his flaming bow and loaded a golden arrow on it.

It looked like a phoenix that was preparing to dash at its prey.

Shhh!

The arrow left the bow and turned into a stream of light.

The speed of the light was so fast that Qi Shaoxuan could hardly react to it.

Obviously, this man had learned some terrifying assassination skills. This attack could easily kill someone who had a higher cultivation level than him.

“Purple Realm!”

Qi Shaoxuan planted his Heaven’s Helbert in the ground, clenched his hands, and formed a hand seal. A golden core appeared in the air—it had ten Divine Emblems on it. This meant that he had completed its tenth refinement!

A Golden Core Restriction Realm was formed when his purple aura mixed with his golden core, completely protecting Qi Shaoxuan.

Initially, the arrow was traveling at the speed of light. However, the moment it entered the Purple Realm, it slowed down drastically.

“It is a strong attack indeed, but it’s not strong enough!”

Qi Shaoxuan picked up his Heaven’s Halberd and slashed the arrow into half!

Then, he charged at Zhu Ri with his halberd.

It was the North Sea Dragon race’s ancient offensive skill, Dragon Step!

Roar!

The first step—sounds of dragon roars reverberated throughout the platform.

The second step—the sound became clearer, and Qi Shaoxuan emanated dragon aura.

The third step—the dragon roars became more intense.

The fourth step—the shadows of dragons appeared everywhere on the platform.

Qi Shaoxuan’s speed increased, and he was in front of Zhu Ri in just four steps!

“How did you move so fast!?”

Zhu Ri’s pupils constricted. He had just pulled out three more arrows, and Shaoxuan was already in front of him.

He was too late.

As an archer, the outcome of close-range combat against melee cultivators like Qi Shaoxuan was unquestionable.

The broken bow and arrows dropped on the platform and disappeared as specks of light.

Qi Shaoxuan felt that he was undefeatable now.

Finally, he got back his confidence.

...

“Congratulations, young Saint. You have successfully defeated the projection of a Five-Star Prodigy. According to the God of War Pagoda’s rules, you have the right to choose a Five-Star Legacy Technique.

“Congratulations. We have ranked you as a Five-Star Prodigy based on your performance.

“As a Five-Star Prodigy, you can choose to refresh the God Of War List immediately or choose to continue with the battles.

“If your performance is even better, there’s a chance to become a Six-Star Prodigy.

“Young Saint, please keep on fighting!”

As the Pagoda Spirit spoke, shining technique books appeared in front of Qi Shaoxuan.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was not satisfied yet. A Five-Star Prodigy was far from what he was aiming for.

I’m warmed up now. Now it’s the time for me to start my livestream and prove to them that I’m invincible!

Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes glowed as he said, “I want to livestream my next battle!”

The Pagoda Spirit kept quiet for a moment before answering, “You can choose to livestream your battle and continue with other prodigies. However, we cannot let you livestream the battle with the Divine Firmament Saint.”

Qi Shaoxuan was stunned. “Why?”

The Pagoda Spirit said, “It would not be good if others suspect that there’s foul play here.”

Qi Shaoxuan frowned. He had chosen to come to the God of War Pagoda to livestream the fight with the strongest contestant, and to be able to challenge Shen Tian was a bonus to him. If he could defeat Shen Tian in front of everyone, Qi Shaoxuan would be much further on his invincible road.

However, he agreed with the Pagoda Spirit too. There was definitely a difference whether there was an audience for the fight.

Qi Shaoxuan took a deep breath and said, “I’ve already paid ten times the amount. Please do something about it.”

The Pagoda Spirit stayed silent for a moment.

As time passed, Qi Shaoxuan became more nervous.

Then, the Pagoda Spirit spoke again.

“Well, there’s a way...

“If you insist, that would be a different price!”
