When the Sect Master said he would bestow a divine armament, Xiao Zuiji fantasized countless times in that brief period, fantasizing that it could be as awe-inspiring as Second Senior Brother’s Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern. But after seeing clearly that it was a wok, he stood there dumbfounded as a wooden chicken, unable to recover for a long time!

This… was his exclusive divine armament?

Li Fei, Tian Qi, and the others’ mouths twitched violently.

A wok could be considered a weapon?

Fine, even if this thing was a weapon, shouldn’t it be given to Junior Sister Liu? After all, when not fighting, it could still be used to stir-fry food for everyone!

Actually, the Yunzhou Xiayin from the Divine Armament Pavilion was quite good, especially being dark gold in color, exuding a noble and grand feeling. But because its design was too unique, it was very difficult for warriors to accept.

Just imagine.

Carrying a wok on your back when fighting—that image was absolutely eye-searing.

“Zuiji.”

Jun Changxiao said seriously, “This item is called Yunzhou Xiayin. Although its design is peculiar, it’s also a rather rare defensive-type divine armament, very suitable for you to use.”

A defensive-type divine armament?

Xiao Zuiji, who had been somewhat dejected, immediately perked up.

Ever since becoming a disciple of the Eternal Ancient Sect, he had been completely obsessed with body tempering, always pursuing ultimate defense. If this item could make his defense stronger, its design no longer mattered.

Xiao Zuiji held Yunzhou Xiayin and said, “Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing this wok!”

“…” Ye Xingchen thought speechlessly, “Would he really have the face to take out such an embarrassing weapon in battle?”

Ah Niu was a man with dignity. Let alone this wok being a divine armament—even if it were a divine artifact from the Upper Realm, he wouldn’t use it, because it was too damaging to one’s status!

Xiao Zuiji had no such burden. After all, having once fallen to being worthless and having been a beggar for several years, he didn’t care about so-called status. If a weapon could help, he would use it without hesitation.

“Zuiji.”

Jun Changxiao said, “There’s a groove on the wok handle. You can activate a finishing move. When battlefield specters appear tomorrow, you can test it out.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Zuiji acknowledged the order.

…

The next day.

Battlefield specters arrived as scheduled.

Li Qingyang and others tacitly didn’t make a move, watching as Xiao Zuiji carried a wok on his back and walked over alone.

“What’s the finishing move?”

Jun Changxiao sat outside the great hall with an expectant expression.

Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern’s finishing move could condense a thunder tribulation, forcing Purple Scale Demon King to use thirty percent of his power to defend. Although this wok had a peculiar design, it was still bought for ten thousand contribution points after all. Its might would surely be extraordinary.

“Clack!”

Xiao Zuiji stopped.

He took Yunzhou Xiayin from his back and held it upright before him.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Several hundred battlefield specters’ eyes flashed with spectral light, immediately gaining thought and mobility, releasing vast and imposing majesty.

The current situation was: in an area where combat could begin at any moment, only Xiao Zuiji alone faced creatures created by the Upper Realm.

“Crack!”

“Crack crack crack!”

Battlefield specters raised their hands one after another. Pitch-black spears appeared, then they rushed over at quick pace!

Xiao Zuiji raised his head. His thumb pressed on the groove, and a special memory merged into his sea of consciousness.

When Li Qingyang activated Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern’s finishing move, he also received similar memory inheritance, obtaining the name and method of use.

Incantations continuously arranged themselves in his sea of consciousness. Xiao Zuiji immediately became enlightened, then spread both arms, hugging Yunzhou Xiayin to his chest, and shouted loudly, “Xiayin, Transform!”

“Whoosh!”

Dark gold radiance flashed, instantly enveloping him.

This radiance was very powerful, nearly blinding Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others. At the same time, there was also heavy aura madly roaring forth.

A moment later, the dark gold radiance gradually weakened.

Xiao Zuiji still stood in the original spot. The large wok he had been holding had vanished into thin air.

Wait!

Junior Brother’s appearance changed!

Li Qingyang and Ye Xingchen all widened their eyes.

Although Xiao Zuiji currently had his back to them, after releasing spiritual awareness, they discovered that the former’s skin exposed outside was dark gold in color, with halos flickering around his entire body. His originally tied black hair had now also become dark gold and scattered freely.

“Damn!”

Jun Changxiao exclaimed, “He transformed!”

“I feel like my entire person has merged with the earth.” Xiao Zuiji clenched his fist tightly, then slowly raised his head. His pupils had also turned dark gold, with a character for ‘Xia’ printed between his brows.

“Not Spider-Man, not Iron Man, and definitely not Zhu Zhu Xia…” Jun Changxiao said solemnly, “At this moment, he is Scapegoat Man!”

“Clack!”

Suddenly, Xiao Zuiji stomped his foot and instantly transformed into a dark gold cannonball rushing forth.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

At the same time, dozens of battlefield specters had already raised their spears, with spear tips immediately shooting out beams of light.

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

Xiao Zuiji completely ignored breaking through them, taking a barrage of light beam bombardment head-on while advancing at extreme speed.

Li Qingyang and others exclaimed, “Junior Brother’s body is like steel, completely ignoring light beam bombardment—in fact… completely deflecting them!”

System: “After your disciple’s body becomes dark gold, his defense strength is even stronger than wearing a full set of Earth-tier defensive equipment!”

“That’s right!”

Jun Goushen smiled, “A divine armament bought for ten thousand contribution points—even if it’s a wok, it’s definitely extraordinary.”

“Clack!”

Xiao Zuiji, taking dozens of light beams head-on, rushed before the foremost battlefield specter. His right hand formed a fist, carrying dark gold radiance as it directly smashed over. With a ‘boom’ explosive sound, the solid helmet immediately shattered.

“Thud!”

The headless armor collapsed to the ground.

A one-punch kill.

Moreover, he instantly killed a peak Yellow-tier warrior infinitely close to Mystic-tier!

Without weapon enhancement, with only Second-rank Martial Emperor cultivation, using only his fist to blast and kill on the spot—when this finishing move was unleashed, it was absolutely terrifying!

“Swish! Swish!”

Dozens of battlefield specters behind rushed to attack, spear tips infused with energy, fiercely stabbing at Xiao Zuiji’s back. Then came ‘ding ding ding’ sounds, yet the latter still stood in place without budging an inch.

Jun Changxiao said, “Impervious to blade and spear!”

“Get lost!”

With dozens of spears pressed against his back, Xiao Zuiji angrily clenched his fist. A thick golden air wave erupted, directly sending over twenty battlefield specters flying.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Just then, several spears stabbed over from the side!

Xiao Zuiji took steps to dodge, clamping all attacking weapons under his armpits, then suddenly spun in a circle, instantly flinging the battlefield specters away.

“Crack! Crack!”

Power erupted between both arms. All clamped spears completely broke!

“Amazing!”

Li Fei and Tian Qi watched with mouths agape!

Although the dozens of battlefield specters attacking Junior Brother were generally at middle-tier Yellow-tier level, fighting so many alone—they definitely couldn’t do it themselves!

Purple Scale Demon King, standing on the main peak observing the battle, nodded, “This guy’s body strength is quite good.”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the combat zone, Xiao Zuiji’s fists were like infused with indestructible cannonballs. As long as they struck battlefield specter helmets, they would absolutely shatter on the spot.

In a moment’s time.

Over twenty sets of armor lay scattered on the ground.

Of course, battlefield specters definitely wouldn’t let Xiao Zuiji be so unbridled. Several Mystic-tier ones rushed over. Although they gathered energy at spear tips and bombarded him, they only made him retreat a few steps.

“This is impressive!” Jun Changxiao said.

Taking direct bombardment from several powerhouses comparable to Half-step Martial Saints showed that after his disciple transformed into Scapegoat Man, his body defense underwent a qualitative change. Not to mention defeating them, he could at least ensure self-preservation.

“Golden Junior Brother Xiao is so fierce!”

The disciples were shocked beyond measure. At the same time, they realized that even though the Sect Master gave him a wok, it was still extremely awesome!

Work hard, work hard!

Strive to bring more contributions to the sect and obtain your own divine armaments!

“Senior Brothers!”

Just then, Xiao Zuiji collapsed and transmitted, “Come help! I can barely hold on alone!”
