Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

Four and a half minutes later;

"Haaaa…"

Concentrated energy in the form of golden-colored lightning cut through the air and struck Mark but didn't leave a scratch on his exo-suit.

The whole arena was silent, including everyone in the VIP Box. They just couldn't believe their eyes.

Just like what Mark prophesized at the beginning of the battle, he didn't move from the spot, and neither did he attack her. He didn't even use any ether energy to protect himself. But, he was completely unharmed.

On the other hand, Xie Mei appeared to be quite exhausted as she used so many powerful skills that shook the hearts of the spectators against her opponent only to find out that all of them were useless and none of them could break the defense of the Exo suit, which has 9 points of stats. One can say that she was actually attacking a Supreme realm expert who has trained his body to the peak.

It is why, even when she augmented her magical powers (int) to peak-7-circle by using an artifact, she couldn't hurt her opponent.

Taking heavy breaths, as Xie Mei stopped attacking and went into ether recovery mode, Mark smirked under the exo-suit and spoke for the first time since the battle started, "This is the power of modern weapon technology, missy. They don't hamper your progress. Instead, they will open a new door for you.

Whether it is the rocket launcher I used in the past round or the explosives I used in the quarterfinals, they were for the people who don't dare to look directly into the eyes of powerful Spirit Warriors. It was so that they have the means to protect themselves.

If I sell such powerful weapons for the commoners, then, isn't it foolish to think that I don't have any firearms built specifically for the Spirit Warriors?

I'll say it again, Xie Mei. You have the potential for I have sensed the power of gods sleeping inside you. You possessed a hidden attribute that the rest of the humans could never hope to achieve even if they become a demigod. Don't waste your potential on the bow. The gun will make you unleash your full potential.

Anyways, you still have 10 seconds to attack me. So, this might be your last chance to prove that my views are wrong."

Mark was banking on his 9 points of charm, which let him smoothly talk with people and make others trust his words. Usually, he only used it on clients to make more sales but at the moment, he was trying it on the teenager to see if it works against a half-celestial.

As if his power of charm is working, Xie Mei lowered her bow and fell into deep thinking.
Meanwhile, at the VIP Box, everyone was just going crazy by what they have watched and heard so far…

"Just how powerful is that defensive armor?"

"That weird-looking flexible armor… I want it. Elder Xan, see if we can buy it from Lu Zhen."

"Damn, Lu Zhen's weird artifacts were only getting stronger as the tournament passed. What will he pull out in the finals?"

"Sui Weisheng is weaker than Xie Mei whether it is in the mastery of the bow or the unique skills. There's no way he could win against someone who the girl cannot even scratch with her arrows."

"Ugh… why did such a troublesome fellow appear in this tournament? Elder Cao, how did your sect even manage to rope in a guy like this?"

"What happens to Xie Mei now? Will it happen as the fourth prince envisioned?"

"Hidden attribute? The power of gods? He is spouting nonsense once again, isn't he?" "Looks like it, master"

"Lu Zhen, this fellow is more dangerous and crafty than I thought," mumbled the Emperor.

"The power of gods? My son also said the same thing, back then. Is it really true?" thought Xie Zhong, the patriarch of the Xianshu sect.

Amid the gazes and murmurings of the spectators, Xie Mei stood silent for more than ten seconds and freed her grip on the handle while looking down at the floor.

*Thud*

As the semi-divine bow fell on the floor, she raised her head. This time, there was no anger or sadness on her face. Instead, there was a determined look. She spoke in a loud tone, "I will honor the agreement and pick up the firearms after the tournament is over. But for now, let's finish the battle."

Leaving her bow on the ground, she poured all of the little ether energy she had into her fist and charged forward.

Mark then raised his hand. Xie Mei was prepared to get beaten by his attack but she wanted to punch his face just once before it happens.


But, before she even covered half of the distance, Mark spoke, "I quit."

"Eh…" Xie Mei lost her balance due to the shock and comically crashed onto the floor.

"Huh?" "Eh? Did he just say quit?" "What?" "Why?" "Huh?"

The spectators, including the majority of the ones in the VIP Box, were dumbfounded and simultaneously stood up from their seats.

"You quit?" The Proctor also appeared to be flabbergasted.

In response, Mark unequipped his exo-suit and nodded with a smile before walking away.

*Pfft* hahahaha

Yang Bingwen couldn't help but break out into laughter, gaining the attention of nearby guests. He then commented, "It's just like Venerable Wu has told earlier. Everything just went as Lu Zhen wanted it to go."

"Hey, it is your sect's representative who lost the match." The others blankly stared at him while almost thinking the same thing.

Meanwhile, the fourth prince was deeply thinking about something and suddenly, his eyes widened as something clicked in his mind. His expression looked like he realized something truly important, "I see… I now understand why he admitted defeat. From the start, his target is Ai Qing. Since Sui Weisheng went to the finals, he had to lose this match.

But, he is someone who wanted to go everything his way. That's why he riled up Xie Mei, then, trapped her to bet with him. He knows that Xie Mei cannot hurt him. So, he put a certain time limit to destroy her willpower. Once, his goal is achieved, he admitted the match.

If I'm not wrong, Ai Qing will die in the match for sure. After all, she betrayed the Kunlun sect and laid a trap for her companions, killing three of them including an elder.

He was doing this for those two from the Kunlun sect. But why? What kind of deal did he make with those two that he was willing to risk deeply offending the Wuji sect?

This Wu Weibao and that chimera beast aren't just his trump cards. He had something more powerful backing. That might be why he doesn't care about anyone.

Hmm… let's forget about those things I don't have an answer to. Let's see what kind of new toys he had in his arsenal."

After accurately analyzing Mark's actions and words until now, the fourth prince of the Kun Empire formulated a plan in his mind.

Soon, he executed it by passing a note and a storage ring to the Wuji sect's Patriarch.
