565: Chapter 565: Divine Crystal

Hum~

The gap at the mountaintop emitted a faint vibration.

In an instant.

19 treasures shot out.

At the same time.

17 figures soared into the sky, one more than everyone had anticipated; in the face of golden-quality treasures, they ultimately found it hard to hold back.

"Seize the golden ones!"

"Get lost!"

"What kind of strength do you have to dare covet a golden-quality treasure?"

"That's right, if you don't want to die, leave while you still can."

"Think I'm afraid of you?!"

A chaotic battle was on the verge of breaking out, with at least ten people surrounding the golden treasures.

There were mainly three factions.

Sogo and his three helpers.

Xiao Weiqing, Ji Sheng, and Jate formed an Alliance.

There were also three others; judging by their previous positioning, they were clearly a group as well.

The ten people started fighting without any warning.

Ji Sheng stepped up without hesitation to face Sogo; as long as he could stall Sogo, the probability of his side obtaining a treasure would greatly increase.

He had seen Xiao Weiqing's strength; it was stronger than Jate's, and significantly so. He even had a feeling that Xiao Weiqing's strength was greater than his own.

"Ji Sheng, you are no match for me."

"We'll know after we try."

The two traded blows and engaged in battle.

Xiao Weiqing took the opportunity to reach out and grab for the golden treasure.

"Don't even think about it!"

A long staff swept over, knocking the ball of light away.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Weiqing slashed his blade at the long staff, then slashed again at the shoulder of the person holding it.

Puchi!

"How bold, you dare to hurt someone!"

Another person attacked Xiao Weiqing. Xiao Weiqing remained expressionless, blocking with his blade held horizontally, then kicked the attacker in the chest, using the recoil to pursue the golden-quality treasure.

"Stop him!"

Sogo shouted, increasing the force in his hands, trying to force Ji Sheng back.

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing was about to obtain the golden treasure, Ji Sheng would not let Sogo go to interfere with Xiao Weiqing.

Hearing the shout, Sogo's two companions immediately disengaged from their own battles and went to intercept.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Jate appeared in front of one of them, smiling playfully.

"You block Jate, I'll go chase Xiao Weiqing."

A man with short, messy hair said.

"Alright."

The golden treasure had been knocked away by the long staff, moving out of the central battlefield. A woman on the periphery was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, swinging the long whip in her hand.

"It's mine!"

"Pa!"

The long whip did not trap the treasure, but instead wrapped around a straight blade.

It was Xiao Weiqing who had arrived a step earlier, using ten thousand calamities to block the woman's whip, successfully taking the golden-quality treasure into his hand, and shooting a cold glance at the woman.

"Damn it!"

The woman cursed under her breath, released her whip, and turned to compete for other blue-quality treasures.

She craved the golden treasure, but she had witnessed Xiao Weiqing's strength; she was simply no match for him.

In less than a minute, the chaotic battle between over a dozen people ended.

The golden-quality treasure had found its owner.

As for Sogo and Ji Sheng, the two did not determine a winner, nor did they obtain any treasure.

Jate, taking advantage of the final moment, snatched a blue-quality treasure.

"I really didn't expect this; Sogo actually lost?" A few people watching from below were quite surprised.

"What exactly is the background of that Xiao Weiqing? Although Sogo was held up by Ji Sheng, he defeated several people on his own. This strength doesn't look like a newcomer at all."

"He is indeed very strong. Those who entered the Sixth Heaven through the Ascension Battle this year are more impressive than the last. I heard that the Holy Land even added an extra spot."

"An extra spot was added?"

"Yes, it is said that this year, one person possesses a Special Physique, one has a dual-layer Domain, and another knows a top-tier Starry Sky Martial Arts. He even defeated Morei from the Fifth Heaven... oh, no, the Sixth Heaven. I forgot that Morei is now a member of the Sixth Heaven as well."

"Really?" Someone exclaimed. "I know Morei. He has already cultivated the second stage of the Thunder Strike Dharma Body. His strength can rank within the top 100 even in the Sixth Heaven."

"How could that be false? My clansman told me this. I just don't know which one Xiao Weiqing is."

The expressions of the crowd looking at Xiao Weiqing changed.

Special Physique, dual-layer Domain, top-tier Starry Sky Ultimate Technique—none of them possessed any of these.

If it were just a top-tier Starry Sky Ultimate Technique, it would be fine; one could save up credits and eventually learn it one day. But a dual-layer Domain or a Special Physique? One could only envy them. Without talent and powerful Comprehension Ability, nothing else mattered.

The twenty-fourth round of treasure contention ended.

Sogo stared at the three of Xiao Weiqing, a flash of ferocity in his eyes. With a cold snort, he returned to his original position.

Xiao Weiqing, Ji Sheng, and Jate looked happy; this was a golden-quality treasure, after all.

"Quick, take a look, see how many credits it's worth."

Xiao Weiqing did not refuse; he reached out to touch the treasure itself, and the white ball of light that obstructed the naked eye dissipated.

The inner layer was a golden color that could only be perceived by the Divine Soul, and it was very rich.

After the golden color faded.

The treasure gradually revealed its true form.

"This is... Earth Divine Crystal?!!"

Ji Sheng exclaimed.

In Xiao Weiqing's hand was a marble-sized polygonal crystal, earthy yellow in color, emitting a faint halo.

"What, it's a Divine Crystal?"

The crowd was attracted by Ji Sheng's exclamation.

"Hiss, at this size, it's worth at least 50,000 credits."

"Envious, 50,000 credits! I didn't even earn that much all of last year."

Ji Sheng said: "Xiao Weiqing, hurry up and put it away."

"Alright."

Xiao Weiqing nodded and put the Earth Divine Crystal away.

"Xiao Weiqing, shall we continue to cooperate?"

"For future golden-quality treasures, if you obtain one, Jate and I will only take ten percent. If I obtain one, I will give you twenty percent. How about that?"

Xiao Weiqing was silent for a few seconds. "If you obtain one, I will also give you twenty percent."

Ji Sheng laughed. "Alright, it's a deal."

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Jate was a bit unhappy. "Why do I only get ten percent? Also, what if I obtain a golden treasure?"

"Are you serious?" Ji Sheng asked with a puzzled look. "Don't you have any idea what your own strength is?"

Jate's strength ranked outside the top 100 in the Sixth Heaven. He had no Domain, and his Body was average. His overall strength might not even be as good as Morei, who had cultivated the second stage of the Thunder Strike Dharma Body.

"My god, it's golden again."

Suddenly, someone pointed to the mountaintop and exclaimed.

"It's true, and there are two of them."

The crowd looked over; the treasures of the twenty-fifth round had appeared, only four of them.

Under Divine Soul perception, the four treasures were two gold, one red, and one blue.

"Hahaha~ It seems my decision to hold back in the last round was the right one," Haili An laughed, striding forward, already unable to wait to seize the treasures.

"Damn, Haili An and Sende are picking up the scraps," Jate said unhappily.

Ji Sheng nodded slightly, also feeling a bit of a loss.

There were only 8 people who could make a move in this round. Among them, the strength of Haili An and Sende was a cut above the rest. If the other 6 people did not cooperate, the golden-quality treasures would likely be divided between these two.

Xiao Weiqing stared at the two golden-quality treasures and asked softly:

"Ji Sheng, how do you distinguish the value of golden-quality treasures?"
