Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 92: Flame Dragon Crescent Blade and Armor of Eternal Strength



Chapter 92: Flame Dragon Crescent Blade and Armor of Eternal Strength

'She's already a Core Formation martial practitioner at that age?! Wait… that's not the main point. Why is her favorability toward me so high? It's even higher than half of the members of the Firecrown Household!' Fredrinn felt that it was incredulous when he saw the information sent by the favorability meter function.

While concealing his surprise, Fredrinn smiled at the young lady and slightly lowered his head in greeting. This was a normal etiquette between nobles and it came naturally to him with the previous Fredrinn's memories. "Hello, Miss Aubrey."

"You're more elegant than the rumors say, Sir Fredrinn." Aubrey chuckled.

"You flatter me. By the way, this is Lucas and Samantha. They are my friends."

"It's a pleasure to meet…"

They exchanged pleasantries and talked about random matters for a while.

Unlike Fredrinn's initial thoughts, Aubrey was surprisingly friendly. However, it made him feel that she had some ulterior motives and this made him a bit wary of her.

"By the way, Sir Fredrinn. I heard that your household's annual martial arts competition will take place next week." Aubrey suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Fredrinn nodded. "That's right. If it weren't for the recent incident, it should have started sooner. Some of our elders wanted to cancel the competition this year, but my father decided to move it to next week instead." In truth, it was his suggestion to carry out the competition.

He had seen Gunnar's nephew, Paul Gabriel, training rigorously for the competition. Many of the young disciples also trained hard in preparation for the tournament. However, the main reason he suggested proceeding with the tournament was that some of the kids would no longer be eligible to join due to age restrictions.

"I see. That's good to hear. Then would you mind if I watched the tournament? I'd like to see the young talents of the Firecrown Household."

Fredrinn was taken aback. He didn't expect her to show interest in their household's annual martial arts tournament. 'What is this girl's plan?'

Just as he was about to reply, Samantha and Lucas also expressed their interest in watching the competition.

"What? You two also want to watch the competition?"

Samantha and Lucas nodded.

"Hmm…" Fredrinn rubbed his chin thoughtfully. 'There shouldn't be any problem with letting them watch the competition. This is also a good chance to deepen the relationship between our families. Should I invite other households to come as well?'

After some thought, Fredrinn smiled. "Alright. I'll inform my father about this."

"Great!"

"I'm glad to hear that."

A moment later, a few more heirs from martial households came to chat with them. Fredrinn became the center of attention. His unexpected reveal of power stunned many households. He was no longer the trash who was stuck at the 10th layer of the Body Refining stage. He was now a powerful expert who managed to fight evenly against a Nascent Soul martial practitioner!

Even Aubrey who had an excellent-grade spirit root was overshadowed.

At this moment, everyone believed that he didn't have a low-grade spirit root, but at least an excellent-grade spirit root!

***

In the next three days, Fredrinn was too busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle. He didn't even have time to check the rewards he got when they defeated the Blackcrow Household.

On the evening of the fourth day, he finally had the chance to take a break.

"I'm exhausted!" Fredrinn leaned on his seat. He had to deal with numerous matters after the banquet four days ago. He couldn't even complain since it was a punishment from his father for making a decision for the family without consulting him first.

"I finally have time to check my rewards." His expression brightened when he thought of this.

He quickly opened the system prompts.

[You have defeated the 1000-man army! Rewards: Flame Dragon Crescent Blade, 5000 Fate Points, Spear Talent Upgrade Card x1, and Magical Beast Pellet x10!]

[You have successfully defended the western wall! Rewards: 2500 Fate Points, and Flame Maned Shadow Steed (Nascent Soul 1st Layer)!]

[Your schemes caused the destruction of the Blackcrow Household! The fate of countless people changed because of your actions! You have delayed the downfall of the Star Wind Kingdom! Rewards: 10000 Fate Points, Spear Talent Upgrade Card x1, Space Affinity Upgrade Card x1, Level Up Card x1, and Armor of Eternal Strength!]

"I earned a total of 17500 Fate Points, two Spear Talent Upgrade Card, one Level Up Card, and one Space Affinity Upgrade Card. I also got two powerful items, a Nascent Soul mount, and 10 Magical Beast Pellets. What a great harvest!" Fredrinn smiled from ear to ear.

He eagerly used the upgrade cards before checking his updated character profile.

Fredrinn Firecrown [Core Formation 4th Layer] [Level 34]

Spirit Root: High-Grade

Sword Talent: ??????

Spear Talent: ????

Fire Affinity: ??????????

Ice Affinity: ????????

Space Affinity: ??

Cultivation Method: Sacred Law of Ice and Fire

Skills: Seven Scorching Sword Style

Affiliation: Firecrown Household

Fate Rating: D (Click to see your future)

Fate Points: 20950

"Leveling up is harder now that I'm in the Core Formation realm. I only leveled up once after all those troubles. At least I gained many useful abilities. My fate rating has also been updated, but I don't want to see my future for the time being. I don't want to feel pressured…"

"What should I do with my fate points? I can buy a lot of things with this amount." Fredrinn didn't open the Fate Shop to prevent himself from buying impulsively.

He opened his inventory to check the items he got.

Flame Dragon Crescent Blade [Legendary]

- Increases the user's talent in pole-type weapons by 2 stars. Enemies within 500-meter radius will be afflicted with 'Terrify' debuff.

(Note: Terrify = cultivation reduction)

Armor of Eternal Strength [Legendary]

- Increases the wearer's endurance attribute by 3 points (??????). Attacks beneath the Nascent Soul realm will be nullified.

- Unique Trait (I Am Powerful!): People within 500-meter radius will sense that the wearer is one major realm stronger than their true cultivation.

Both items were actually legendary-rated!

"The Flame Dragon Crescent Blade is a guandao. I now have a 2 star spear talent and with the bonus effect from the weapon, I will have a 4 star proficiency. That should be enough for me to properly wield this weapon. As for the Armor of Eternal Strength…" Fredrinn had a weird expression after he read the description of the armor.

Wearing it makes him immune to the attacks of Nascent Soul martial practitioners and he even gained 30% physical and magical resistance. If he wore it together with the Lithinum Shield, he would have 40% physical and magical resistance! However, the unique trait of the armor was weird.

It makes him appear to be stronger.

He was now at the 4th layer of the Core Formation realm. If he wore the armor, he would appear to be in the 4th layer of the Nascent Soul realm. This might seem like a useful effect, but it could only be used to scare off people.

"Should I wear this in the coming martial arts competition?" A playful smile hung on his lips. He thought that it would be fun to see everyone's reaction.
