218: Chapter 218 Easily Complete the Assessment

"You wouldn't happen to have Transcendent Martial Arts too, would you?" Yan Jing asked casually.

Mu Cheng inscribed it on the spot. "I didn't just now, but I've inscribed it on the fly. The price is negotiable."

"My Liu family needs twenty divine artifacts and a hundred random Heaven-rank Transcendent Martial Arts." Liu Siyuan was indeed a man of few words, placing the order directly.

Mu Cheng: "No problem. For a large custom order, I'll give you a twenty percent discount."

"My Xiong family also wants twenty divine artifacts and two hundred Heaven-rank Transcendent Martial Arts." Xiong Chumo also made his move.

Yan Jing naturally wouldn't be outdone. "My Yan family is placing an order too. Twenty divine artifacts and let's go with three hundred Heaven-rank Transcendent Martial Arts!"

"No problem. Delivery within five days. Go back and prepare the star-glow crystals! I'll give you all a twenty percent discount." Mu Cheng didn't waste any more words.

Monk: "So... you're all rich heirs? Am I the only country bumpkin here?"

"It's just a divine artifact, isn't it? I'll give you one when the time comes." Mu Cheng was very happy and patted the Monk's shoulder.

"Whatever, I'll head back first to prepare the star-glow crystals." Liu Siyuan didn't dwell on it and found an excuse to leave.

"Something suddenly came up that I need to handle, so I won't stay with you all."

Then Xiong Chumo and Yan Jing also left...

"You said it... you can't go back on your word." The Monk was clearly a bit nervous.

Mu Cheng operated his high-tech bracelet to transmit information. "Yeah, yeah, it's just a divine artifact, no big deal."

"You brat, you're even pawning remnant souls off on me?" After reading the information, the Little Demon Fox Emperor pondered for a moment before replying.

"No problem. Forge some divine artifacts for me while you're at it! The forging fee for one is three remnant souls."

"As long as there's a profit to be made." After reading the information, Mu Cheng readily agreed.

"No problem. Send the remnant souls and forging metals over quickly."

Plans can't keep up with changes. He thought he wouldn't lack star-glow crystals, but now, the more the better...

The Little Demon Fox Emperor's efficiency was indeed fast. In less than ten minutes, A Hong had already arrived.

"Brat, everything you wanted is here." Not one for small talk, she traded directly with Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng: "Sister Hong, I'll forge as many as I can in five days. Remember to come and pick them up in person."

"No problem, I'll make the trip myself."

A Hong came quickly and left just as fast...

"Time to get to work. I should be able to make a lot these few days." Mu Cheng didn't waste a second. After entering the house, he found a random spot.

He entered his consciousness space directly.

"My god, the changes in this consciousness space are huge." He almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

It was boundless, and a giant black ball hung high in the sky.

"Too bad it can't hold living things." Not overthinking it, he just had a thought.

A dense array of materials floated before him.

"Let's start with the Transcendent Martial Arts first!" Before long, a large pile of Transcendent Martial Arts was inscribed by Mu Cheng.

Next were the divine artifacts. After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to custom-make a pair of shoes for the Monk.

Xiong Chumo's was a shield, Yan Jing's was a spear, and Liu Siyuan's was a Talisman Array pen...

After finishing the custom orders, Mu Cheng began the main task, forging various weapons.

In five days, more than fifty thousand divine artifacts were forged by him...

Divine artifacts were expensive because, so far, no one else could forge them...

But it was only a matter of time. Being forged... it was bound to happen sooner or later.

"Every era has its god. It seems with the arrival of the next era... super divine artifacts will be the true favorites." Although Mu Cheng knew the method.

Forging a super divine artifact was not such an easy task. Moreover, he wanted to earn as much as he could right now.

"Are the star-glow crystals ready? The market price for a divine artifact is five trillion star-glow crystals, and a Heaven-rank Transcendent Martial Art is one hundred billion. I'll give you all a twenty percent discount." As soon as Mu Cheng woke up, he asked impatiently.

Xiong Chumo: "Of course they're ready. We can trade anytime."

"Alright, I'll give each of you a custom-made divine artifact. Just trade everything over to me!" Mu Cheng didn't waste words.

He initiated trades with the Monk, Xiong Chumo, Yan Jing, and Liu Siyuan simultaneously.

"Master, you're going to be rich." Little Demon couldn't help but comment.

"It's still not enough. Returning to the Blue-White Star once costs ten trillion." Mu Cheng still felt it was too little after completing the trades.

"You have a way to return to the Blue-White Star? Are you serious?" Liu Siyuan asked very seriously.

Mu Cheng: "Of course. Wait... don't tell me someone wants to go back?"

"Indeed. star-glow crystals aren't an issue." Xiong Chumo replied.

Mu Cheng: "No. If they go back now, the Blue-White Star... will be in total chaos. Your families can arrange for others, but not them."

"You're right. Once those guys return from the Battlefield... the Blue-White Star will probably be in total chaos." Liu Siyuan naturally understood the implications.

Mu Cheng: "Although we can't go back now, we can prepare in advance... Also, how about helping me sell some divine artifacts?"

"Good grief, so divine artifacts are like common cabbage in your hands now? However... selling too many might not be a good thing. If you're short on star-glow crystals, you might as well go open a mineral vein." Yan Jing said.

Liu Siyuan also nodded. "Yeah, divine artifacts can currently only be obtained from Traders. Once there are too many... the balance of the Eight Great Families will be broken."

"Fine! You guys tell me... where can I get a mineral vein?" Mu Cheng asked, understanding the gravity of the situation.

Monk: "Need you even ask? The Super Ability Academy, of course. But first, you need enough Hero Points."

"Hero Points? Wait... let me check." Mu Cheng hadn't looked at that in a long time. One look gave him a huge shock.

1st Place: Zero, Hero Points: 5.6 billion

2nd Place: Lu Yunzi, Hero Points: 1.3 billion

3rd Place: Hong, Hero Points: 900 million

...The top fifty were basically all over a hundred million.

"Hero Points... can I ask a small question? Can they be directly exchanged for star-glow crystals?" Mu Cheng asked casually.

Monk: "Of course. Even super divine artifacts are within reach. Ten million points is quite a bit though."

"You... how many points do you have now?"

"Not many. The first-place 'Zero' is me." Mu Cheng replied.

As soon as he said this, Xiong Chumo was stunned. "How is that possible... how could you be Zero? Absolutely impossible."

"Zero's strength has reached the Six Paths Shackles Realm. How could he be you? He wouldn't even come to this place." Yan Jing also expressed disbelief.

Little Demon: "Master, why not show them... otherwise they won't believe you are Zero."

"Keep it low-key. That's not important anymore. What's important is that Sister Hong said we need to prepare for the assessment, right?" Mu Cheng didn't dwell on the issue.

Speak of the devil, A Hong's voice came through. "Brat, how's the forging going?"

"Done, of course." Mu Cheng traded them over directly.

A Hong was stunned when she saw them. "Good brat... keep the remaining materials for yourself! If you have any trouble in the future, Qingqiu will have your back."

"Alright then!" Mu Cheng kept the remaining materials and traded over thirty thousand divine artifacts.

He kept twenty thousand for himself... naturally to prepare for making another big profit later.

"The assessment for the Super Ability Academy has been sent to you." A Hong operated her bracelet, appearing very calm.

Although the Qingqiu Kingdom could forge divine artifacts, one would take at least two or three months. Now Mu Cheng had produced over thirty thousand at once.

This meant the entire plan could be moved forward...

"Hey, Sister Hong, as you can see, I'm a bit short on star-glow crystals lately. How about giving me some to spend?" Mu Cheng had zero interest in the assessment.

star-glow crystals were more practical. He'd squeeze out as much as he could...

A Hong had no choice but to give in. "Fine! Here's ten trillion star-glow crystals for you to spend."

Compared to moving the plan forward, a mere ten trillion star-glow crystals were nothing. She traded them to Mu Cheng without blinking.

"Good grief, that's impressive." Even Xiong Chumo had to admire him.

A Hong: "Alright, you guys figure it out yourselves! After the assessment... it'll be time to return to the Blue-White Star."

After saying that, she vanished without a trace...

"This assessment is a bit difficult. We need to destroy a regiment of Ghost Wolf Clan soldiers. Can we really do it?" The Monk was clearly chickening out.

Xiong Chumo: "An army of over a hundred thousand... it shouldn't be too big of a problem, right?"

"We need to plan carefully." Yan Jing also indicated it was a bit difficult.

Liu Siyuan: "Indeed, we need a good plan."

"No need for all that trouble. It's just a hundred thousand soldiers. We can just charge in. If you're scared, you can wait." Mu Cheng didn't want to think so much.

After confirming the location, he soared into the sky. "Little Demon, let's go..."

"Wha... these two just went like that?" The Monk clearly hadn't reacted.

Liu Siyuan: "Hurry up and follow!"

Then the four of them followed closely behind...

At this moment, the Little Demon Fox Emperor sent a message. "Don't do anything reckless."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Mu Cheng replied directly.

He hadn't raised pigs, but he had eaten pork. Although Mu Cheng had fought in wars, he still understood one principle.

Once provoked, they would bite back.

But in the face of a three-million-strong army, destroying one regiment... wouldn't have a very large impact.

"This one will do! Little Demon, I'll leave the small fry to you." Mu Cheng suddenly stopped.

Directly below him was a Ghost Wolf Clan regiment, totaling about a hundred thousand.

Little Demon: "Leave it to me, Master!"

"No hidden hint has appeared. It seems this Ghost Wolf Clan regiment poses no threat at all." Mu Cheng finally understood when the hidden hints appeared.

First, it was directed at him; second, it was when he was threatened.

As for the inner voice that had been gone for a long time, he really couldn't figure out the reason.

"Good grief, looks like we can just lie down and relax." The Monk sighed involuntarily as he watched.

Xiong Chumo: "This elf girl is really fierce... no wonder she's so confident."

"No, no, no, her strength is likely far beyond that." Liu Siyuan could tell, though he didn't know her exact level.

Xiong Chumo: "Just lie down, it's just going through the motions anyway!"

"He's here, it's a Great General." Yan Jing suddenly blurted out.

But in less than three seconds, he was insta-killed by Mu Cheng.

"Hey! You guys want to come down and play?"

"Is he really Zero? A Great General level is equivalent to a Nine-Star World King God, and he's just gone like that?" The Monk was greatly shocked.

Xiong Chumo was also shocked. "Ahem~ It's fine that he's dead... looks like we don't need to do anything."

"Let's go down. Take whatever we can." Liu Siyuan didn't care about much else.

Even mosquito legs are meat; don't leave them behind...

In less than an hour, the six of them had a full harvest, and the mission was successfully completed.

At the same time, they all received information to report to the Super Ability Academy.

"Am I... dreaming? Did we really pass the assessment?" The Monk clearly hadn't processed it.

Little Demon: "Master, it's time for Little Demon to prepare to take that step... In the future, Master will have to rely on himself."

After saying that, she returned to Mu Cheng's consciousness space.

"Wait a minute, so this elf girl was your blood covenant beast all along?" Yan Jing was shocked once again.

Mu Cheng: "Yeah, she's much stronger than me. This time she's going into seclusion to take that step. It'll probably take a year or so."

"What do you mean? Take 'that step'?" The Monk didn't understand.

Liu Siyuan: "Is she going to break through to the God of Destruction level?"

"Yeah, with enough resources, breaking through should just be a matter of time." Mu Cheng nodded and replied.

With Origin's help, Little Demon's breakthrough was basically not a problem.

"God of Destruction level... are you really Zero?" Yan Jing asked very seriously.

"You could say I am, or you could say I'm not. Anyway, I am me, not him." Mu Cheng was too lazy to explain.

Liu Siyuan: "I hope it goes smoothly!"

"So... are God of Destruction powerhouses like common cabbage on the street to you guys? Can't you have some reaction?" The Monk finally couldn't take it anymore.

Xiong Chumo: "Who doesn't have a God of Destruction powerhouse in their family? My Xiong family has one."

"My Yan family has one too. Don't make a fuss." Yan Jing was also very calm.

Although Liu Siyuan didn't speak, he was clearly not as surprised as the Monk.

"It seems I still underestimated the strength of the Eight Great Families. To maintain balance, they must all have an old monster at the God of Destruction level." Mu Cheng thought to himself.

Xiong Chumo: "The mission is complete. Let's head our separate ways!"

"Yeah, I need to go back too before heading to the Super Ability Academy." Yan Jing didn't stay. He released his Energy Wings and soared into the sky.

Liu Siyuan and Xiong Chumo also left, leaving only Mu Cheng and the Monk.

"Hey! Why don't we go together?" the Monk asked slowly.

But unexpectedly, the Little Demon Fox Emperor sent a message. "Come to my palace."

"Sorry, I have an appointment. You go ahead!" After reading the message, Mu Cheng left for the palace.

Going to the Super Ability Academy was just to get his name on the roster and see if there was anything good. If there wasn't much to do.

It was also time to return to the Blue-White Star.

An hour later, at the palace of the Qingqiu Kingdom's capital.

"Sister Jiu... why did you call for me?" Mu Cheng went straight to the point upon arrival.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor stopped her work. "It's nothing too important... just try not to sell divine artifacts and such, and I hope you don't exchange for super divine artifacts during this trip to the Super Ability Academy."

"Why is that?" Mu Cheng naturally wanted to make a big profit and asked for the reason.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "super divine artifacts are not that easy to forge. One every ten years... besides, they're useless to you."

"As for being short on star-glow crystals, I'll put in a word with Sister Ninger for you. She'll arrange it."
