Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 392 Are there any masters?

In contrast, the scions of prominent families present seemed rather embarrassed.

Not only did all twelve challengers fail, but three unknown dark horses also stole the show.

This is no longer a matter of their personal reputation, but a matter of family honor.

Therefore, after Wu Xian and his two companions successfully completed their challenge, the young masters of the aristocratic families, while shocked, also began to prepare for the battle with all their might.

Take Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe, for example.

Bai Shiqi's main goal is to follow in the footsteps of his peer "idol" Wu Xian and to verify the results of his efforts.

So, while audiences around the world were mocking these scions of wealthy and powerful families...

Bai Shiqi silently stepped onto the arena of the Fire God's Heavenly Riders.

And it released the long-unseen Golden Scroll Flame Goddess. The "Flame Goddess" is now eight stars in the Golden Scroll and exudes an amazing flame aura.

She was no longer the same as the Flame Goddess Wu Xian had met before; she had been completely reconstructed from a flame spirit into a human form.

"Excellent, Brother Bai has indeed made progress!"

Wu Xian stared curiously at the fire goddess on the stage, which already had a bit of the feel of the goddess of destruction, Psyche.

As the goddess of destruction in ancient Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet is also the goddess of fire.

However, Shiraishi Qi's Flame Goddess has not yet been completed into a "lion's head" form, but it already has a terrifying cobra that spews flames on its body.

Of course, there's no need to strictly adhere to a certain standard when it comes to appearance.

Just like Wu Xian designed Meng Po to be drawn as a beautiful girl, as long as the background and power concepts are well-conceived, it will be fine.

While Shiraishi Sai's Flame Goddess figure didn't evolve into a "lion's head," the overall image of this goddess is already quite appealing.

She has a bit of the "Cleopatra" style, and looks exactly like an Egyptian.

After some observation, the completion rate has reached at least 40%.

I wonder how well his "Desert Grim Reaper" is being perfected?

The ensuing battles were extremely fierce.

The Vulcan Riders, being the Vulcan Riders after all, put on a spectacular battle with the Goddess of Flame.

In the end, Shiraishi Qi, with his extraordinary perseverance and the help of the Flame Goddess, narrowly won and successfully took away a Scroll Master, thus restoring some face for the scions of noble families.

Then, the other scions of prominent families also revealed their trump cards and joined the challenge.

It also demonstrated the strength and heritage of the family to the world.

Although there were winners and losers in the end, it proved the abilities of the scions of aristocratic families.

Zhao Qinghe also brought his ugly daughter from the underworld to participate in the challenge, after all, he couldn't let Xue Lingling outdo him.

Unfortunately, the result was a bit embarrassing.

Almost, just a hair's breadth away, the ugly woman of the underworld was ultimately defeated by the Death God's Heavenly Rider.

After his defeat, Zhao Qinghe was disheveled and looked terrible; he couldn't accept it.

Little did they know, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling didn't care about him at all.

At this moment, the two were focused on the battle taking place on another arena.

The one defending the arena is the [Sword God Rider] from the Twelve Heavenly Riders. It is a mecha with a chivalrous and swordsman-like style. It is all black with some dark red stripes and embellishments. Several swords that look like swords are stuck on its back, but they are actually wings.

His crimson energy cape fluttered wildly behind him, he looked absolutely stunning!
He held a strangely shaped black sword at an angle, exuding a murderous aura.

Of course, the focus is not on Sword God Sky Rider, but on Sword God Sky Rider's opponent, a young man from a prestigious family in the Heavenly Craft Dojo, dressed in a magnificent black and gold light armor and carrying a long spear with a unique aura.

The moment Wu Xian and Xue Lingling saw the spear, they sensed Wang Xiaocong's presence.

Sure enough, the moment the young man channeled his spiritual power into his spear, a black dragon roared and appeared behind him, resembling a martial spirit.

This caused a stir and drew everyone's attention.

After all, mainstream audiences have little impression or concept of Body Tempering Spirit Masters. The handsome appearance of the young man from the Heavenly Craft Dojo, with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, instantly captivated countless young girls.

The subsequent battle with the Sword God Sky Rider elevated the concept of "combat" to a whole new level.

Other battles between scroll painters and spirit tamers are basically just fist and foot clashes and skill exchanges between scrolls.

But this battle revealed a strong sense of "skill".

Whether it's the swordsmanship of the Sword God Sky Rider or the spear techniques and combat skills of the young man from the Heavenly Craft Dojo, they all exude a sense of precision, elegance, and aesthetic pleasure.

The black dragon, accompanied by the tip of the youth's spear, surged and roared, and the special effects were also quite impressive.

The key point is that this young man from the Tiangong Martial Arts Academy is actually a seventh-level body cultivator, and his body is already showing the rudiments of a spiritual energy circuit.

He was ultimately defeated by the Sword God Sky Rider, but he left a deep impression on everyone.

"The Tiangong Martial Arts Hall is also showcasing something new!"

"The artifact is imbued with a special spirit; it's kind of cool, everyone."

"He's absolutely stunning, okay?"

"Damn it, this is how a real man fights, not by manipulating scrolls to fight."

"A seventh-stage body cultivator, he doesn't look even thirty years old, does he?"

"Uh, is a seventh-stage body cultivator very strong?"

"To put it simply, a seventh-level body cultivator can already serve as the highest-ranking officer in a local military command in some second- or third-tier cities."

"Holy crap, that's pretty impressive."

"People may not understand the concept of a seventh-level body cultivator in their twenties. He is definitely a genius among geniuses."

"If I'm not mistaken, this guy was holding back just now. You know, a seventh-stage body cultivator can already withstand the power-type Seven-Star Golden Scroll with just his physical strength."

"Really? Body cultivators are that powerful?"

"It's impressive, but the training is really arduous; most people simply can't persevere."

"It's alright, as long as I'm poor enough, I'm sure I can persevere!"

……

Before they knew it, the young masters from the aristocratic families had basically finished their challenges, with some winning and some losing.

The series of matches were highly entertaining, providing a feast for the eyes of both the live audience and online viewers.

After the scions of aristocratic families finished their challenges, it was time for other talented young men to take the stage.

Unlike the initial scene of a swarm rushing upwards, after experiencing the complete defeat of the aristocratic scions and realizing the power of the Twelve Sky Riders, few dared to challenge them easily anymore.

After all, even scions of noble families might not be able to win the challenge, so those from ordinary families or collateral branches of noble families have even less hope.

However, there were also some talented young people who bravely stepped onto the stage to showcase themselves.

Unfortunately, they all ended up losing badly.

I didn't really feel anything when I was watching from the sidelines, but after actually going on stage to take on the challenge, I truly realized how powerful the Twelve Sky Riders are.

Until a dignified woman gracefully landed on the arena of the [Light Riders].

At first, people thought he would be defeated quickly, just like other challengers.

But when the woman released a radiant golden scroll, the laughter and jeers in the audience instantly ceased, and everyone stared in astonishment at the strange humanoid scroll with flowing wings on the stage.

"There are still experts?!"

Wu Xian rose from his seat, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty, his breathing becoming rapid.

"That's... Badr? And a fully conceived Badr!"
