I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 223: Just A Billion Bits Of Spirit Qi!

Chapter 223: Just A Billion Bits Of Spirit Qi!

The rainbow light enveloped Jin Yu and guided him into the pagoda.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a platform.

The platform had hundreds of squares and circles, all emitting a dazzling purple light. It was an overwhelming sight of lights and color.

“A young golden eagle!

“Welcome to the God of War Pagoda. Are you ready to accept the challenge?”

A friendly female voice resonated across the platform, sounding like a breath of fresh air.

A ball of light appeared before Jin Yu. It spun round and round, exuding a certain vibe.

An ancient green tablet rose on his right side. It was about five feet high, with rows of names carved into it.

“First: Huang Shi, Six-Star Prodigy”

“Second: Bei Chenxuan, Five-Star Prodigy”

“Third: Yao Yuxi, Five-Star Prodigy”

“4th: Chu Longhe, Five-Star Prodigy”

...

“31st: Kong Meng, Four-Star Prodigy”

“32rd: Chen Beidou, Four-Star Prodigy”

“33th: Ren Yinyang, Four-Star Prodigy”

...

Jin Yu couldn’t help feeling suspicious upon looking at the names on the tablet. “What does this name list represent?”

The female voice sounded again. “It ranks the prodigies who have entered the pagoda and passed the test over the last 10,000 years. It is definitely a fair and just ranking.”

Everyone who had entered the pagoda over the past 10,000 years would be named on this ancient tablet?

So this listed all the prodigies over the past 10,000 years?

Azure Lotus is ranked fourth! Damn!

Jin Yu scanned down the list and saw that it ended at the 100th spot.

“Why is it that only Fairy Kong Meng was listed within the top 100? But Saint Shen Tian was unable to break into the list?”

Jin Yu voiced out his confusion.

The female voice seemed slightly taken aback before explaining, “His test has yet to begin. The rankings are in real-time and completely just and fair.”

Just as she finished her explanation, Kong Meng’s name on the list started to flicker.

Following that, Kong Meng’s name disappeared from the 31st position and appeared at 12th place.

“12th: Kong Meng, Five-Star Prodigy”

Jin Yu couldn’t help being tempted by the real-time rankings.

This was an accurate, real-time ranking of the practitioners. It was a true and fair representation of their prowess.

If he could get his name on this God of War tablet, wouldn’t those prodigies who entered the pagoda in the future all be staring at his name in awe?

Kong Meng’s powers were above his. But if she could be ranked in 12th place, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to get the 35th position!

The female voice sounded again. Shadowy images slowly surfaced within the balls of light, depicting scenes of advanced magical skills and fighting techniques.

Jin Yu even saw a golden ball of light depicting the Eagle race’s long-lost Eagle Seizing Dragon legacy technique!

This was one of the most powerful battle techniques of the Eagle race. When cultivating it to the highest levels, one could really battle a true dragon.

Jin Yu was very tempted.

“Pagoda Spirit, is this Eagle Seizing Dragon technique the real one?”

A mild voice echoed. “The Eagle Seizing Dragon technique, Three Star Legacy Technique. You can obtain it if you win a challenge against a Three-Star Prodigy.”

He could obtain it if he successfully won a challenge against a three-star prodigy?

Joy spread across Jin Yu’s face. After all, even Kong Meng could defeat a four-star prodigy and enter the 5th level.

And Jin Yu didn’t consider himself to be too far below. It should be no problem for him to defeat a three-star prodigy!

“Pagoda Spirit, give me a three-star prodigy. I will teach him a good lesson today!”

“To challenge a Three-Star Prodigy, you need to put down a deposit of 1,000 God of War points. You can exchange for points using Spirit Stones, treasures...

“In addition, God of War points can be used to exchange for injury treatments, pointers, life-preservation, and other such services. We note that you do not have any God of War points. Do you want to conduct an immediate exchange?”

One had to spend God of War points in order to challenge a prodigy from the pagoda?

Jin Yu was taken aback. Luckily the Divine Firmament Saint had returned his resources to him.

Otherwise, it would be a total waste if he couldn’t issue a challenge after finally entering this God of War Pagoda.

He immediately took 1,000,000 Spirit Stones out of his storage ring and said in a grand manner, “It’s just Spirit Stones, no problem at all.

“How many God of War points can these 1,000,000 Spirit Stones exchange for? Is it enough for the challenge?”

The female voice replied, “1,000,000 Spirit Stones can be exchanged for 100 God of War points. You need another 900 God of War points to challenge a Three-Star Prodigy.

“Please accumulate enough God of War points before continuing with the challenge. All points will be returned to you if you win.

“If you lose, your God of War points will be forfeited. They cannot be converted back.”

The detailed explanation echoed in Jin Yu’s ears.

“1,000,000 Spirit Stones can exchange for only 100 God of War points? That is to say, I will need to put down at least 10,000,000 Spirit Stones in order to challenge a Three-Star Prodigy?”

“This lousy pagoda. The stakes are too high!”

Jin Yu couldn’t help grumbling.

The female voice asked, “Are you able to use 10,000,000 Spirit Stones to buy the long-lost legacy skill of the Eagle race, the Eagle Seizing Dragon technique?”

Jin Yu was taken aback. “No.”

The female voice continued. “In that case, how is it not worth it to put down 10,000,000 Spirit Stones for a chance to get the Eagle Seizing Dragon technique?”

Jin Yu fell into deep thought at that explanation.

He could lose 10,000,000 Spirit Stones or win the Eagle Seizing Dragon technique.

A 50-50 percent chance. And he was very confident of getting back this legacy technique for his people!

No problem!

Jin Yu got excited at the thought of this.

He took off his storage ring and started digging out all sorts of treasures, carefully explaining their uses and value.

As his treasures were taken away by beams of light, the God of War points above Jin Yu’s head quickly shot up.

“Congratulations on successfully accumulating 1,000 God of War points and gaining the right to challenge a Three-Star Prodigy.

“Do you want to commence the battle immediately?”

Jin Yu took out the white jade bottle with Nirvana Holy Liquid inside and carefully took a small sip.

After swallowing, he even licked the rim of the bottle cap.

A stream of bubbling energy surged into Jin Yu’s body, boosting his condition to peak levels. “Let’s start!”

A light flashed before his eyes. A burly young man dressed in red armor appeared before Jin Yu.

“Descendant of the Archer race, Yan Se. Nice to meet you.”

The man had a fiery longbow behind his back and nine reddish-gold arrows hanging off his waist. He exuded a powerful aura all over.

Jin Yu felt a deep sense of foreboding the moment this fellow appeared. He felt a bit apprehensive about his chances of defeating this fellow.

The aura exuded by this Yan Se fellow was extremely powerful. Not at all inferior to Jin Yu’s.

More importantly, Jin Yu was a bird!

Why did they assign him an archer as his opponent? Was it really appropriate?

Moreover, he was from the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race, which was under the metal element. This fellow was clearly under the fire element!

In Chinese philosophy, fire always overcame metal!

“The battle starts now.”

Jin Yu, “???”

At this point, Yan Se had already raised his bow as an imposing avatar appeared behind him.

Intense flames covered his entire body. In the blink of an eye, an arrow was already primed in his bow. “Shiny bird, one is enough!”

The moment he spoke, a rain of fiery arrows shot toward Jin Yu, sealing off all his attacks and escape routes.

“Arh!”

...

An hour later, a battered and despondent Jin Yu conceded.

,000 God of War points were instantly forfeited. The corners of Jin Yu’s mouth twitched as his heart ached for the loss.

The female voice sounded again. “Young eagle, please don’t lose your fighting spirit. Continue to fight!

“You are not inferior to Yan Se at all. You were suppressed by his race and his element. It is not because you are not good enough.

“Try again. Perhaps the next opponent might be under the wood element. If so, you would be able to defeat him easily.

“The Eagle Seizing Dragon technique is right within your grasp. Do you really want to give up this wonderful opportunity? Buck up. Don’t despair!

“As a sign of encouragement, the pagoda is offering you a free healing meal set, worth 50 points.”

A light beam shone upon Jin Yu, after which his injuries rapidly recovered.

Was this gentle pagoda spirit lady really sincere in her encouragement of the eagle?

She had even treated his injuries for free. Jin Yu was truly touched.

Could it be the God of War Pagoda spirit thinks highly of me?

Jin Yu’s sharp eyes burned with determination again. “I am the pride of the Eagle race. I will not be defeated by just one setback!”

After taking off his Eagle armor, Jin Yu huffed. “A supreme-grade Spirit artifact. How many God of War points can this exchange for? I must win that Eagle Seizing Dragon technique!”

“Exchange complete. We are assigning you a new opponent now.”

“Assignment complete!”

Yan Se disappeared, to be replaced by a divine bird covered in dark-red flames.

It was a prodigy from the Phoenix race. Yet another fire element against Jin Yu’s metal element.

The battle commenced!

On the 7th floor of the God of War Pagoda, in front of the entrance mirror...

Shen Tian stared tongue-tied at Ye Qingcang, who was standing amongst a sea of treasures.

He was suspecting now if this fellow was some money-grubbing tycoon!

By relying on the God of War platform over the past 10,000 years, he had accumulated quite a substantial amount of treasures from all those prodigies! It was like those in-app purchases for gaming apps!

Looking at Shen Tian’s strange expression, Ye Qingcang explained calmly. “Don’t look at me like that. I need these treasures to repair the God of War Pagoda.”

The God of War Pagoda from the Celestial World was crumbling, and goodness-knew how much resources he had spent to maintain it over the past 10,000 years.

Shen Tian shook his head slightly. “Are the opponents assigned on this platform really by random chance?”

Ye Qingcang gazed at Shen Tian as he nodded in satisfaction. “You are indeed a quick learner! Worthy of my guidance!”

Hello? Why are you looking at me like we are the same?

I am a good and honest man. Not a fraud like you!

Worthy of your guidance? Not interested!

Ye Qingcang was dressed in a purple outfit, looking very regal and noble. But the darndest things spouted from his mouth.

Shen Tian felt rather unsafe in the same room as this fellow. He felt like this guy would be happy to sell him into slavery on a whim.

Wait a minute, he suddenly felt that something was amiss!

Shen Tian stared at Ye Qingcang. “Senior, you said earlier that this God of War Pagoda could belong to me and that all I had to do was to ask for it? What’s the catch?”

Ye Qingcang swiveled his eyes. “Catch? No catch. There are no conditions at all.”

Shen Tian remained silent but just continued staring at Ye Qingcang.

The hairs on the back of Ye Qingcang’s neck stood straight up from that prolonged stare. He finally said in resignation, “Alright! Let me be honest with you then!

“There are indeed no conditions. But this God of War Pagoda suffered major damage in the Celestial World and is covered with cracks all over. You will need to expend some Spirit Qi to repair it.

“So if you really take over the God of War Pagoda, you will need to give it a bit of your Spirit Qi on a regular basis.

“No need for a lot. Just enough to ensure it doesn’t collapse completely.

“Otherwise, it might continue to crumble.”

Suffered major damage... Give it a bit of my Spirit Qi on a regular basis... Otherwise, it would continue to crumble?

Looking at the shifty-eyed Ye Qingcang, Shen Tian just felt that this fellow was still not telling the whole truth.

To maintain such a great artifact, is he really sure that I will need to expend just a bit of Spirit Qi? Or was it a billion bits?

Does he take me for a fool!?

Moreover, Shen Tian gave a discreet look at the Executing Heaven Sword inside his lungs. Immortal artifacts would be absorbed into the owner’s body after acknowledgment!

If he collected this God of War Pagoda, would it also enter his body?

It would crumble if he didn’t give it Spirit Qi? Where would it crumble?

Would it crumble or explode?

Pffft... no thanks!
