Wang Chen chatted with Chu Yan. The young man was truly kind and full of enthusiasm. Even though he was a talented young master, there was no trace of arrogance on his face.Before long, Wang Chen quickly became very close to Chu Yan. Indeed, he was the type of person who could easily get along with anyone.“Oh, right, Brother Wang Chen. In one month, the city tournament will be held. Are you interested in joining?” Chu Yan asked, making Wang Chen raise an eyebrow.“A city tournament? Aren’t events like that usually limited to certain people, like the families in this city or something?” Wang Chen asked.“Haha, that’s what makes Wuho City different. This city is close to the border, so wandering cultivators often come here. Because of that, wandering cultivators are also allowed to participate, of course, as long as they meet the requirements.”“What are the requirements?” Wang Chen became interested.“It’s simple. The age must be under twenty-five, and cultivation must be at least Ma

“Patriarch, I actually wish for this matter to remain confidential. Please do not spread the information that I am the Rune Master of the Chu Family.”“Oh, that’s an easy matter. You can trust me, Master Wang Chen,” Chu Ming said enthusiastically. “Then when would Master Wang Chen be willing to work? I will prepare all the materials and tools you require.”“Whenever Patriarch Chu has everything prepared, I can begin working. Of course, the payment must be appropriate.” Wang Chen smiled meaningfully. He did not truly understand business matters or the usual pricing for a Rune Master, so it was possible that he might be tricked into accepting a lower payment.However, Wang Chen did not mind too much. As long as the wages felt substantial to him, it would be fine. But if he discovered that the Chu Family was deliberately trying to take advantage of him by intentionally offering very low pay, he would never work here again.After that, Wang Chen was brought by Chu Yan and Chu Ming to the

After receiving the report from his son, Chu Ming immediately rushed to meet Wang Chen.“Wow… everything is really finished in just two days!” Chu Ming could not hide his astonishment.He had originally thought that all these weapons would take at least two months to complete, yet they were finished in only two days. Even though he was not a Rune Master, Chu Ming knew very well how difficult it was to inscribe runes—yet Wang Chen had done it this fast?“The Patriarch can inspect them first. I only inscribed standard runes to strengthen the weapons and allow the Fire element to flow more smoothly. This way, all the weapons will be more durable. Engraving too many runes could damage the metal, and that might cause problems later on,” Wang Chen explained calmly.“Haha, of course. That is indeed how it should be.” Chu Ming nodded and then picked up one of the swords. “In that case, let me try it a bit.”Chu Ming circulated a trace of his energy, and the sword immediately burst into extrem

The Starry Sky Sect was the largest sect in the Sun Empire, and in this year’s annual Wuho City Tournament, envoys from the Starry Sky Sect would be coming to recruit new disciples.Aside from the four great families of the city, many independent cultivators who were not affiliated with any sect or faction would also come to participate in the tournament.The requirement to join the tournament was that participants had to be twenty years old or younger. Wang Chen and Chu Yan were the same age—nineteen—so they both met the requirement.While waiting for the tournament to begin, Wang Chen spent his days crafting various kinds of artifacts using all the materials he had previously purchased at the market.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived—the day the tournament would be held.At this moment, Wang Chen and Chu Yan, along with four other members of the Chu family who would be participating in the tournament, were on their way to the city square where the tournament would take place.Ea

The next day, the second day of the tournament was finally held. This time, the spectator stands were far more crowded, as everyone knew the second day would be much more exciting. All the tournament participants had already arrived. Thirty-two contestants were seated in their respective places, and the two envoys from the Starry Sky Sect were also present, sitting in the special seats alongside the host. Seeing that all the participants had arrived, the host began to speak. “Alright, first of all, I would like to congratulate all the contestants who successfully advanced to the second day of the tournament. I am certain that everyone has been eagerly looking forward to today’s matches. Therefore, without further delay, let us begin the Second Day of the Wuho City Tournament!” A thunderous roar erupted from the audience as they shouted enthusiastically, chanting the names of their respective champions. The drawing of lots was then carried out, and the opening match of the day was
