Chapter 590: Chapter 589: Giving Without Exchange
Then it was the turn of the Nine Suns Holy Sword team, with somber expressions, to make a selection. Surprisingly, the Red-crowned Crane Demon approached Pretty Girl first and said in a deep voice, "We have two selection slots. If there's anything you want to select, you can tell me. I can exchange the Dan Ding God Sword you've already obtained with two divine tools."
Clearly, the Dan Ding God Sword referred to the long beak that came from an ancestor, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.
Pretty Girl was momentarily stunned and a look of realization flashed across her beautiful eyes. She turned her head toward Tang San, her eyes filled with admiration.
One for two, four divine tools were to become five. This was obviously the smartest choice to be made, no wonder Tang San had suggested she make such a decision.
However, what surprised Pretty Girl was, when she looked at Tang San, she saw him shake his head at her.
Not exchanging one for two? The Dan Ding God Sword really didn't matter much to them. It wasn't nearly as effective as when used by the Red-crowned Crane Demon.
The expression of the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant darkened instantly.
"Proceed with your selection," the voice of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox came.
In the presence of the administrator of the Ancestral Court, no matter how much resentment the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant harbored, it could not erupt. He had to step forward with the participant from the Sunflower Spirit Clan, selecting a brightly glowing small sword and the first funnel within the dome.
"The Mixed Origin Funnel, known to have the largest storage space of all such items. In terms of practical value, it stands as the crown jewel among all the ten divine tools presented. Not only does it have a tremendous capacity, but it can also absorb the spiritual power and divine consciousness of opponents during battle, greatly affecting their performance. In the Ancestral Court, it is also a great treasure and the grand prize bestowed upon this competition."
"The Holy Light God Sword, hailing from the distant Sacred Clear Sea, a tribal artifact of the Holy Light Tribe with strong light property powers. Suitable for beings with light properties. It matches quite well with the Sunflower Spirit Clan. It can add Holy Light properties to the flames. Both of your selections are quite good."
"Well, since you have all made your choices, this concludes today's award ceremony. The Ancestral Court Elite Competition is now complete."
With the proclamation of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the competition came to a successful end.
The remaining four of the ten divine tools vanished with a wave of the hand from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and this great monster disappeared at the same time.
Pretty Girl looked toward Tang San, who then pulled her along to approach the two contestants from the Nine Suns Sword Saint team.
"You did this on purpose," the Red-crown Crane Demon contestant said icily, staring at Tang San and Pretty Girl.
"If you're willing now, I can still exchange the two divine tools we've obtained for the Dan Ding God Sword. You must have heard the explanation from His Excellency the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox; both of the divine tools we possess are extremely powerful, especially the Mixed Origin Funnel."
Yet, Tang San remained silent and shook his head, saying, "Before coming to the competition, I had already climbed the Sword Saint Palace. And I was once guided by the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, for which I am grateful. The Sword Saint once again bestowed the Sword Saint Order. Our choice of this Dan Ding God Sword is not intended as a trade for benefits, but rather I hope to give something back to the Sword Saint Palace."
As he spoke, he took the Dan Ding God Sword from Pretty Girl and handed it to the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant, "Please present this divine tool to His Excellency on our behalf, as a mark of respect from the Peacock Demon Clan to the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor."
The Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant stared dumbfounded at Tang San, utterly baffled by this move. Not exchanging for two excellent divine tools but instead giving it to the Sword Saint Palace? What was going on?
"What do you want?" It asked, now hesitating, pressing for an answer.
Tang San shook his head, "Don't need anything. Just trouble you to convey my exact words to His Excellency."
The Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant looked at Tang San, then at the Red-crowned God Sword, and ultimately, it accepted the sword. This Godly Sword was all too important for the Sword Saint Palace, and for itself, it was even the key for future advancement to the Demon Emperor Level. That was why it would rather trade two powerful divine tools to retrieve it. But it hadn't expected Tang San and Pretty Girl to ask for nothing in return and just give it to them. This complete turnaround was truly...
Resentment vanished in an instant, and the Red-crowned Crane Demon hesitantly said, "How about we give you a divine tool in exchange?"
Tang San smiled, "No need, no need, I've said it before, this is the friendship of our Peacock Demon Clan. We are all part of the same avian line, no need to stand on ceremony. We should leave quickly to avoid being surrounded by the audience. Let's go." After speaking, he signaled Big Cat to join him and Pretty Girl, nodded to the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant and the Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant, and then Pretty Girl initiated the teleportation, vanishing in a flash of silver light.
Looking at the tangible Red-crowned God Sword in its hands, the Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant couldn't help feeling bewildered. Were there really such good people? A divine tool of such importance, and they just gave it away?
To other races, the Red-crowned God Sword might not mean much, but to the Red-crowned Crane Demon line, it was a Tribal Artifact! Along with the other two divine tools, it felt like they were the ones who gained the most in this competition.
"Stop thinking about it and just go back and let the Sword Saint decide," said the Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant gently.
"We didn't even exchange names with them. Really..." The Red-crowned Crane Demon contestant stomped its foot, a whirlwind of emotions overtaking it.
With a flash of silver light, Tang San and his companions reappeared outside the Ancestral Court Square.
It was only then that Big Cat couldn't help saying, "Just gave them away? Why didn't we take those two divine tools of theirs?"
Tang San said, "To live better. Compared to divine tools, the friendship of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor is more important. Big Cat, let's part ways here. I look forward to your breakthrough."
Big Cat would not be leaving the Ancestral Court for the time being, planning to advance to the divine level with the help of the Golden Lion King. It now possessed two great divine tools, and with the full support of the Lion Demon Clan, its breakthrough was imminent. And with its current bloodline talent, once it reached the divine level, it would not just be an ordinary divine-ranked individual!
Big Cat nodded at him and said, "We'll keep in touch. As soon as I make my breakthrough, I'll come to Jiali City to find you."
In the presence of Pretty Girl, it didn't mention the name of Golden Valley. After bidding farewell to Tang San and Pretty Girl, it promptly left.
"Brother, we need to leave the Ancestral Court quickly. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox seemed to hint that there is danger for us here. We can't stay," said Pretty Girl, who had a sense of crisis since the moment of the award ceremony.
If it had been someone else talking about such a crisis, she would have dismissed it with a laugh. As the heir to the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, she had the ability to foretell events; if there was danger, she would have sensed it to some degree. But it was the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the Dominator of Fate who said it, and they had no choice but to believe his words.
Tang San calmly said, "Don't panic. Of course, we are going to leave. But since it's a tribulation, trying to avoid it might not be entirely possible. We'll go back to the hotel first and make use of the divine tools we've acquired before leaving."
As they were talking, with a twinkle of silver light, the Peacock Demon King had already appeared beside them.
The Peacock Demon King said in a grave voice, "Come with me immediately. The competition is over, and to prevent Crystal Phoenix from taking any action, we need to hurry up and leave."
Tang San, however, said, "City Lord, we can't rush to leave now. Anyone wanting to harm us would surely guess that we'd leave at the first opportunity. The more this is the case, the less we can afford to be hasty. Here in the Ancestral Court, even a Demon Emperor Level powerhouse would think twice before taking action, and not act rashly. We have just acquired divine tools, and making good use of them now will greatly benefit our next moves."
The Peacock Demon King looked at him in surprise, and Tang San nodded at him, saying, "Please trust me. I wouldn't joke with my life and Little Beauty's life."
