562: Chapter 562 The Struggle

Nine treasures, three of red quality, instantly locked everyone's gaze.

Ji Sheng reminded, "Xiao Weiqing, Jate, you can make a Move, but do not be greedy. The number of people competing in this round will definitely be higher than the last."

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly.

This was obvious.

In the previous round, when Sogo and Ji Sheng both made a Move to seize two red treasures, many people had retreated.

In this round, neither Sogo nor Ji Sheng could make a Move. The treasures appearing were the most numerous and of the best quality in several rounds, so a large number of people would definitely make a Move.

Xiao Weiqing silently calculated. In the last round, a total of 9 people made a Move; in the worst case for this round, the remaining 15 people would all make a Move.

"But it doesn't matter, I only want that deep red treasure."

Although the blue quality ones were also quite good, with two deep blue ones, Xiao Weiqing did not intend to compete for them.

That deep red treasure was worth more than all the other treasures combined; there was no need to be greedy and invite a siege.

Time ticked away.

The people preparing to make a Move began to tense up, including Xiao Weiqing.

Whoosh~~

"Seize it!"

Suddenly.

A dozen figures soared into the air, flying toward the treasures. Counting them, all 15 people had made a Move.

Xiao Weiqing and Jate were also mixed among them.

Soon, everyone caught up to the treasures.

"Get lost!"

"Bang~"

Someone made the first Move.

"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you!" Someone shouted angrily, a long staff appearing in their hand. They swung it with all their might, directly knocking two people nearby away, causing them to lose their eligibility to compete.

Clatter~~

A whistling sound came to his ears. ten thousand calamities appeared in Xiao Weiqing's hand, easily blocking the sneak attack.

"You're courting death!"

Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed. ten thousand calamities flipped, and he counterattacked from an exquisite angle.

"Puchi!"

"What?"

The person who launched the sneak attack clutched their waist, their heart filled with horror.

They had assumed that since Xiao Weiqing was a newcomer who had just joined the Sixth Heaven, his strength wouldn't be anything special, but they hadn't expected to be injured by just a single strike.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Weiqing ignored the attacker and joined the competition for the red treasures.

A total of six people surrounded the three red treasures.

Two people, a man and a woman, also had their eyes on the deep red treasure that Xiao Weiqing wanted to compete for.

"Get lost!"

"This red treasure is not something you can covet." The man among them shouted at Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing didn't put the two of them in his eyes at all.

He charged up with his blade.

"Clang~ Clang~"

"Bang!"

"How is this possible? What kind of blade technique is this?"

The man clutched his chest in disbelief. Under the condition that everyone was unable to use Source Power, Xiao Weiqing had used such an exquisite blade technique that two strikes were enough to make him lose the ability to resist.

Xiao Weiqing glanced at the woman who hadn't made a Move and seized the red treasure beside him.

The woman glared at Xiao Weiqing and joined the competition for other blue treasures.

The three red treasures already had owners; if she couldn't seize a blue quality treasure, she would gain nothing from this attempt.

On top of this mountain peak, somewhere in the Void Realm.

Two figures stood suspended in the air.

Even within the Purple Sea, being able to achieve this could only mean they were experts of the Undying Realm.

"Old Del Ka, why are you here?" said the burly man among them.

"Passing by."

"Passing by?" The burly man smiled, as if he had heard something funny, "Guess whether I believe that."

"You came for that Xiao Weiqing, didn't you?"

Del Ka did not speak, which was considered an admission.

"This Xiao Weiqing's Divine Soul has clearly entered the Dominator Realm. Are you thinking of taking him as a disciple?"

The burly man guessed. The old man in front of him had extremely profound attainments in the path of the Divine Soul. The only reason he would view Xiao Weiqing differently was because Xiao Weiqing's Divine Soul was powerful and far surpassed his peers.

Being an expert of the Undying Realm himself, the burly man's vision was incredibly high. He saw through Xiao Weiqing's true age at a glance; among these Sixth Heaven members, Xiao Weiqing could only be considered a toddler.

Xiao Weiqing's talent for the Divine Soul was top-tier, even if placed within the Seventh Heaven.

Del Ka shook his head gently, said nothing, and his figure disappeared.

"Old geezer, didn't even say hello."

The burly man cursed with a laugh and turned his attention back to the scene below. If anyone accidentally encountered danger, he would be responsible for sending them out.

Below.

The fifth round of treasure competition ended. Xiao Weiqing successfully seized a red quality treasure, which appeared red in others' perception.

But Xiao Weiqing knew this one was deep red. He estimated it was worth 7 or 8 thousand credits, higher than the value of the other eight treasures combined.

Jate did not seize a red one, but obtained two ordinary blue ones. However, the colors were quite light, and judging by his expression, he was not satisfied with this harvest.

"Impressive, Xiao Weiqing. With this blade technique of yours, I'm afraid no one in the Sixth Heaven is your match," said Ji Sheng.

He realized he had still underestimated this newcomer who had just joined the Sixth Heaven.

The blade technique was definitely not simple.

It appeared simple but was actually incredibly exquisite, without a single wasted movement. Under the condition where everyone was unable to use Source Power, its power was even greater.

He had easily defeated two people and scared off one in the chaotic battle.

Xiao Weiqing laughed, "They just didn't want to clash head-on with me. There are still gold quality treasures later on."

Ji Sheng shook his head. While that was true, it was only a small part of the reason. The main factor was still Xiao Weiqing's strength. If it came to martial arts Moves alone, he knew he was no match for Xiao Weiqing; he had enough discernment to see that.

While the three were chatting, treasures appeared again from the gap at the top of the mountain. This time there were five in total, but three of them were red.

Ji Sheng's eyes lit up, and he prepared to make a Move again.

The sixth round.

Sogo and Ji Sheng each seized a red quality treasure. However, this time, the process of seizing the treasures was not easy; the other people making Moves had gradually formed a tacit understanding to target the two of them.

If they let these two continue to act as they pleased, there would be no point in competing; they might as well just pack up the treasures and give them to the two of them.

"We're only at the red treasures now. If it were gold, I suspect Sogo and I would be besieged," Ji Sheng said helplessly, recalling how someone had suddenly launched a sneak attack on him earlier, nearly causing him to lose out on a red treasure.

"What else? Should all the treasures be given to you alone?" Jate snorted coldly.

Ji Sheng laughed, "That wouldn't be bad either."

"They're here, they're here again."

"Huh? Only four? And they're all blue quality?"

As soon as the treasures appeared, everyone used their Divine Soul power to probe them, roughly judging the quality of the treasures. The treasures in the seventh round could not compare to the previous rounds in terms of either quality or quantity.

Leaving everyone greatly disappointed.

Xiao Weiqing asked softly, "Ji Sheng, does this treasure mountain erupting treasures follow any pattern?"

Ji Sheng pondered for a few seconds and replied, "None."

"However, the general trend is clear: the quantity will increase, and the quality will get better and better."

"It's only the seventh round now, no rush."

"Then how many rounds will it erupt in total, or rather, how many treasures will there be?" Xiao Weiqing asked again.
