87: Not a myth? The sealed silver dragon

Everyone present looked tensely into the pond, towards the person holding the longsword.

They silently prayed in their hearts that the longsword would not be drawn by him.

Every time this happened, these people began to regret.

They regretted not having spent more at Hu Tian’s Auction House.

If they had, the first person who could draw the sword would be themselves.

This was not a written exam based on scores, but a trial where if the previous person succeeded, the next person would have no chance.

Once this longsword was drawn by someone, even if they could have drawn it this time, they would no longer have the opportunity.

Hu Tian subtly looked around, and seeing the tense expressions on everyone’s faces, he felt even more satisfied.

This was the effect he wanted; only then would these people consume even more frantically.

“What’s up with this person?”

Hu Tian’s gaze fell on Qin Tian. From Qin Tian’s face, he did not see a trace of excitement or madness.

He was as calm as if what was before him was not a mythical weapon, but just a common blue and white equipment dropped by a small monster.

“Perhaps he doesn’t know the true power of a mythical weapon.”

Hu Tian guessed in his heart, but it didn’t matter; with a little understanding, he would realize.

How rare and powerful mythical weapons were!

No one would not go crazy for them!

Unfortunately, Hu Tian did not know that although Qin Tian did not have a mythical weapon in his hand, he had a forbidden holy item that was even more powerful than a mythical weapon.

Qin Tian’s attention was more on the dragon’s body into which the ancient longsword was inserted.

Although the color of this dragon was different from the Azure Dragon, being silver-white, its appearance was somewhat similar.

And most importantly, Qin Tian received a hidden quest.

【Hidden Quest Triggered: The Call of the Silver Dragon】

【Quest Description: Find a powerful member of the Dragon Race and convey the message that the Silver Dragon is sealed here.】

【Quest Reward: Dragon Race Favorability +10000, Mythical Grade Item x1】

“Human, you have the aura of my clan elder on you. Can you tell it the news that I am sealed here?”

A voice sounded deep in Qin Tian’s consciousness.

“If you pull out the sword in your body, will you die?”

Qin Tian did not answer the Silver Dragon but asked a question that the Silver Dragon did not expect.

“Hahaha, of course I won’t die. On the contrary, if it can really be pulled out, my strength will quickly recover.”

“But unfortunately, this sword cannot be pulled out by anyone in this area. This is not a mythical weapon, but a forbidden holy item. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be sealed here.”

The Silver Dragon’s voice echoed in Qin Tian’s mind, and fearing Qin Tian didn’t understand, it added: “forbidden holy item, above mythical. Your attributes simply cannot pick it up.”

Qin Tian nodded, indicating his agreement.

Just like the Dragon Scale Jade Wall in his hand, the required attribute points, let alone 100 players, even normal level 500 players could not equip it.

This was still in a damaged state; after repair, the conditions would only become more stringent.

However, Qin Tian did not expect that this sword was actually a forbidden holy item, which was a complete surprise.

Seeing Qin Tian nod, the Silver Dragon thought Qin Tian had agreed to help it, and it breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been sealed here for too long, and finally, there was a glimmer of hope to leave.

As for Qin Tian’s concern, it was completely unnecessary. Not to mention whether it would die, in the Silver Dragon’s perception, it was simply impossible for anyone to pull out this longsword.

If it were really that easy, it wouldn’t have been sealed here for so long.

“There’s movement!”

An exclamation sounded, and everyone stared at the person next to Wang who was drawing the sword, not daring to blink.

After that person grasped the longsword, he did not immediately pull it out.

Instead, he began to use skills and potion concoctions.

Wang was not drawing the sword for the first time; he had come too many times.

According to conventional wisdom, equipping sword-attribute weapons requires both strength and agility to meet the standards.

Drawing the sword was also like this; only if your attributes met the standards could you pull it out, just like when Qin Tian and Gobu Firm went to retrieve the Dragon Scale Jade Wall before.

Equipment of this rank was far from comparable to ordinary equipment items. If your attributes didn’t meet the standards, you simply couldn’t pick it up, let alone equip it; it wouldn’t even be possible to put it in your backpack.

So this time, Wang not only invited Dragon Pride, a level 149 Sword Hero, but also prepared a pile of temporary attribute-boosting potion concoctions for him.

Upon arrival, he also invited various professions to apply numerous temporary strength and agility boosting buffs to Dragon Pride.

And now, all the efforts seemed to be about to take effect.

The ancient longsword, which had been motionless before, began to sway in Dragon Pride’s hand.

Including Hu Tian, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

“Could it be!”

Wang was even more excited. Having invested a lot of time and money and consumed too many resources, success was at this moment.

Qin Tian’s expression was as usual; he watched quietly, not in a hurry.

Only he knew that this sword was not moving because of Dragon Pride.

The real reason was that the Silver Dragon communicated with him, causing the longsword that sealed it to react.

Dragon Pride saw the longsword in his hand react and thought his attributes had finally met the standards. He worked even harder, using all his might to desperately try to pull it out.

But the ancient longsword remained motionless, and even its movement became smaller and smaller, finally returning completely to stillness.

“Failed.”

Dragon Pride shook his head and released his hand from the ancient longsword.

He knew that even after exhausting all methods to raise his attributes to the highest, he still could not pull out this longsword.

Wang instantly turned ashen, slumping to the ground. This blow was too great for him, too great to accept.

The others secretly rejoiced. Wang’s failure meant their opportunity had come.

Hu Tian had his guards escort Wang and Dragon Pride away, then looked at the crowd again:

“Next, Dream Tear, Guild Leader of Tianxing Guild.”

As soon as the words fell, a figure impatiently entered the pool; it was Dream Tear.

“Excuse me, everyone, this sword, my Tianxing Guild will take it.”

Dream Tear said, without hesitation, and almost boastfully pulled out two items.

“These are Dragon Blood Fruit and Windwalk Wood!”

Someone present recognized the two items in Dream Tear’s hand.

These could be said to be the strongest items here that could temporarily boost strength and agility attributes.

Each could temporarily increase strength and agility by 300 points within 10 minutes.

A 1200-point attribute boost was equivalent to the attributes gained from a normal level increase of 240 levels.

Under such a huge attribute increase, wouldn’t Dream Tear’s success rate of drawing the sword be 100%?

Everyone’s hanging hearts completely died.

Even Hu Tian, nearby, showed a difficult expression and couldn’t help but worry.

Dream Tear didn’t waste time; he immediately used both items. Seeing the status bar change and the items take effect, he stepped forward and firmly grasped the ancient longsword.

“Come up!”
