Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Artifact Spirit Yue Ying

The child stuffed his fallen eyeball back in place, making Shi Hao bare his teeth, wanting to criticize but not knowing where to start.

Now, the child truly had no confidence left.

Would the last wooden figure withstand the Sky-Flipping Seal?

The crucial point was, this wasn’t a fight, otherwise, in Shi Hao’s current state, just about anybody could have easily taken him down.

Moreover, he couldn’t take action either. As an Artifact Spirit, he had to strictly abide by the set rules.

Damn, he really didn’t want to acknowledge another master.

"Kid, if you dare to make a move, watch out, I’ll eat you!" The child widened his jaw to his forehead again, showing off a row of sharp, menacing teeth.

Shi Hao, however, just smiled. Resorting to threats was a sign of utter frustration.

He couldn’t help but wonder what the reward for passing the final trial would be, to make this guy so desperate.

It’s not like I stole your girlfriend!

Besides, does he even have a girlfriend?

Shi Hao mocked internally, smiling slightly, and said, "If you could strike me, why would you need to speak with threats?"

The child was startled, Shi Hao had pierced his weak spot, rendering him speechless.

"How did you learn the Sky-Flipping Seal? That’s not a technique from this realm!" he stated through clenched teeth.

What!

Shi Hao finally caught a useful piece of information and immediately pressed on, "Then from where is it?"

The child realized his slip of the tongue, huffed, but did not answer, seeming very disdainful.

"The Immortal Realm?" Shi Hao inquired.

The power of the Sky-Flipping Seal was unimaginably great, even surpassing all techniques owned by Yuan Chengmie, and the difference was not slight; thus, if it were a technique from the Immortal Realm, that would make sense.

The Immortal Realm, the place Yuan Chengmie tirelessly sought, also the cause of his downfall.

The child ignored Shi Hao, treating him as if he were air.

Shi Hao didn’t mind. Since using the Sky-Flipping Seal, he needed a long time to recover, so since he was idle, a little chat would do no harm.

"Are you also from the Immortal Realm?" he continued to ask.

If the Sky-Flipping Seal was an Immortal Technique, then this child, who recognized the Sky-Flipping Seal, must also be from the Immortal Realm.

Of course, this child was merely a manifested form; if Shi Hao had to guess, he could be the Artifact Spirit of a powerful Spiritual Artifact.

"Kid, hurry up and start." The child said irritably, "I’ll give you five breaths’ time. If you don’t start, you’ll be considered a failure."

Shi Hao was in no hurry, just calmly watching the child.

Trying to trick me?

Heh.

The child became frustrated and desperate again, howling, "Kid, if you fail, I’ll make sure you’re unable to take care of yourself."

Shi Hao shook his head, "Threatening without an advantage only shows one’s weakness."

Shit!

The child was left speechless, only able to sulk furiously on the side.

After a long while, Shi Hao finally recovered.

Alright, time for the last "opponent."

He gathered his strength, but did not make a move immediately.

"Are you going to come at me or not?" the child couldn’t hold back and asked Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Don’t rush."

The child was extremely anxious, frantically grabbing his head, suffering indescribably.

Seeing this guy so agitated, Shi Hao couldn’t help but reveal a smile, thinking, let you threaten me, are you happy now?

Come!

He suddenly made a move, striking with the Sky-Flipping Seal, and thumped the wooden figure.

Instantly, the wooden figure fell apart.

By now, all forty wooden figures had been knocked down, and the final trial had been passed.

The moment the kid saw the Sky-Flipping Seal, he knew he was doomed. This was a wonderful technique that should not appear in this realm, nor should it be mastered by the Other Shore Realm, but now, both impossibilities had been realized, obviously breaking the supposedly unbreakable.

"Kid, you won!" he gritted his teeth and said.

"So tell me, what’s the reward for passing forty trials?" Shi Hao asked with a smile.

In a huff, the kid said, "I will acknowledge you as my master!"

Reluctant as he was, he had to adhere to certain rules.

Ah, so that’s it, no wonder this guy always tried to stop me.

"Hehe, let’s hear you call me master!" Shi Hao laughed.

Now he could tease him to his heart’s content.

The kid puffed his cheeks and then said disdainfully, "Even if I acknowledge you as my master, I’ll just help you out a bit. You want me to call you master? Dream on!"

Oh, still playing tough, huh?

Shi Hao laughed. Now that their positions were completely unequal, what could your stubbornness do?

"Are you an array spirit or an artifact spirit?" he asked.

The kid pursed his lips, muttered something silently, then said, "I am an artifact spirit, having lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Kid, you need to maintain the necessary respect in front of me! You should know, with my help, you will conquer the world and reign supreme."

Shi Hao chuckled, "Come on, call me master to hear how it sounds."

The kid couldn’t help but glare with rage, you’re too much.

"I won’t call it!" he turned his head away, pouting stubbornly.

Ah, who created this artifact spirit, acting so childish?

"Then what’s your name?" Shi Hao asked, "Since you can communicate, you must possess intelligence."

The kid huffed, "My name is Yue Ying."

"That feminine?" Shi Hao grinned.

"I am a female!" the kid Yue Ying exclaimed.

"Eh?" Shi Hao looked Yue Ying up and down, "Doesn’t seem like it at all!"

"What doesn’t seem like it?" Yue Ying asked.

"If you are female, haven’t you noticed how handsome I am?" Shi Hao asked.

Women’s gazes toward him invariably carried a touch of tenderness, completely unlike Yue Ying’s fierce demeanor.

Yue Ying was taken aback, her mouth wide open in shock.

—I’ve never seen someone so shameless.

"Since you are an artifact spirit, what spiritual artifact’s spirit are you?" Shi Hao asked.

"Your realm is too low. I cannot tell you, it was the old master’s request." Yue Ying replied unhappily.

Such a temper.

Shi Hao had never encountered an artifact spirit before because the conditions needed for an artifact spirit to arise were overly harsh.

First, the artifact itself must be of extremely high grade, and secondly, it must exist for an exceedingly long time and be nourished naturally by heaven and earth. Only then was there a slight possibility of an artifact spirit emerging.

—There are also shortcuts, such as directly forging a living soul into the artifact, which greatly increases the chances of the spiritual artifact developing intelligence upon creation.

However, forging a living soul into an artifact creates an absolute weapon of calamity that can never be controlled by anyone.

Who would want their spirit to be forever trapped within an artifact, at someone else’s command?

If it was nourished by the heavens and earth, why would it be so haughty?

"By the way, what about the ultimate inheritance?" Shi Hao became curious. This was something he could possess after defeating just twenty wooden figures.

"Here, take this!" Yue Ying leaped up and smacked Shi Hao on the forehead.

Smack, the sound was loud, and the force significant, causing Shi Hao to stagger.

Immediately, symbols tumbled through Shi Hao’s mind, forming an exceptionally mysterious technique.

This was transferring a technique, but did you really need to hit so hard?

It must be intentional!
