Super Invincible Upgrade

Chapter 185: Chapter185

When the three of them arrived at the Artifact Forging Hall, it was already dark. Along the way, Zhou Peng silently followed behind without saying a word. Yan Bing, who was originally talkative, also kept her head down and walked silently. Yan Xin was even colder and didn't say a word. When they arrived at the Artifact Forging Hall, Zhou Peng looked around and found it was a bit different from what he had imagined. It was very neat, spotlessly clean. There was a huge bronze cauldron on the square outside the Blazing Sun Hall. However, Zhou Peng didn't find a single furnace around the Artifact Forging Hall. He couldn't help but secretly think, "Does artifact forging not need a furnace?" In his mind, artifact forging should be similar to blacksmithing. However, artifact forging requires more various powerful energies to be injected and excellent techniques to create powerful weapons. But there was not a single furnace around, and there was even no hot breath in the air. This place was like a place for health preservation. "Pay respects to Master." "Pay respects to Master." Yan Xin and Yan Bing said simultaneously. Their expressions were a bit unnatural and they were faintly worried. Zhou Peng took a step forward and said, "Pay respects to Master." At this time, Shen Yan was facing away from them with her hands behind her back as if thinking about something. "Junior Sister, why did you come back only now? Do you know how worried Master is about you?" A young man with flowing long hair and a handsome appearance came up and directly showed concern in a low voice. His eyes swept over Zhou Peng lightly, carrying a hint of hostility. "Damn it. Do I owe you money or something?" Zhou Peng secretly thought in his heart, but on his face, he nodded and smiled brightly. "Xinmei, quickly say something nice. Master has been waiting for you all day." The young man walked to Yan Xin's side and said in a low voice. His eyes were secretly glancing at Yan Bing. "Who are you calling 'Xinmei'?" Yan Xin was secretly annoyed. She coldly glanced at the man and then walked forward, knelt down, and respectfully said, "Master, this disciple is willing to accept punishment." "It's not my sister's fault. It's all because I love to play and caused trouble." Yan Bing immediately walked forward and knelt down as well. Pouting her little mouth, she said, "Master, don't punish my sister. If you want to punish someone, punish me." "Si..." Shen Yan took a deep breath and slightly raised her head as if she had encountered another unsolvable problem. "That..." "Master, it's because this disciple had many trivial matters at the foot of the mountain and didn't come up the mountain until afternoon. Please don't blame them." Zhou Peng also stepped forward and said softly. Yan Xin and Yan Bing were stunned. They didn't expect Zhou Peng to excuse them. Yan Bing tilted her head and looked at Zhou Peng. Her eyes flickered and gratitude showed. "So you are Zhou Peng?" "It's you who made Master wait so long. You have quite a big attitude. I think you must be tired of living?" The young man immediately shouted and pointed at Zhou Peng's nose and said. "If you can't get a girl and take it out on me. What kind of person are you?" Zhou Peng secretly cursed again. His face showed a smile that seemed to devour people without spitting out bones and said, "What's your name, Senior Brother?" "You don't deserve to know my name." The young man glared and disdainfully stared at Zhou Peng. In a low voice, he said, "If Junior Sister is punished by Master because of you, I won't let you go." "Uh?!" Zhou Peng was startled. His body trembled slightly. He pretended to be very afraid and lowered his head without saying a word. "Senior Brother, even if we are punished, it has nothing to do with him. Why are you threatening him?" Yan Bing said unhappily. The imposing manner of protecting Zhou Peng made the young man very uncomfortable. There were very few male disciples in the Blazing Sun Palace. Among ten male disciples, six were guarding the mountain gate. Why were male disciples so miserable? It was because some female disciples had once said a word or two for them. Just because of one or two kind words, they were suppressed by him. And he was the senior brother. He managed all affairs big and small in the Blazing Sun Palace. In this Blazing Sun Palace, he could be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand. He had extraordinary power. Moreover, he was deeply trusted by Shen Yan. In addition to power, he also had good cultivation. He was at the second level of reincarnation. In terms of artifact forging, he also had deep attainments and had reached the standard of an artifact forging master. He could already forge low-grade immortal artifacts. He was a disciple extremely valued by the Blazing Sun Palace and even the entire Thousand Machines Sect. A man with extraordinary talent, remarkable strength, handsome appearance, and tall stature. Almost a perfect man. He had everything he wanted. In this Blazing Sun Palace full of beautiful women, he lived extremely comfortably and freely. Yan Bing's words made anger secretly rise in his heart. He had long had his eyes on this pair of twin sisters but had never succeeded. Unexpectedly, they actually blamed him for a newly admitted disciple. This made him very unhappy. He glared at Zhou Peng fiercely. The muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched slightly. A cold aura emanated from him. He secretly thought, "Kid, just wait." Then, suddenly, he showed a charming smile. Looking at Yan Bing, he said gently, "I'm worried that you will be punished. What qualifications does a new disciple like him have to let you pick him up in person?" "Whether he has qualifications is up to Master to decide. It's not your turn to criticize. Are you criticizing Master?" Yan Bing immediately retorted. "How dare I criticize Master?" The man was stunned and immediately said. "Senior Brother, you actually dared to say that Master is old. Master is as beautiful as a flower and forever young. You actually dared to say that she is old. You are up to no good." Yan Bing continued to increase the pressure. At the same time, she secretly winked at Zhou Peng, indicating that he shouldn't be afraid. Yan Bing's mouth was extremely sharp. In the entire Blazing Sun Palace, except for her sister and Master, no one could control her. Even Zhou Wei, the senior brother, couldn't gain any advantage. Zhou Wei was secretly annoyed. He still kept a gentle smiling face but didn't dare to argue with Yan Bing anymore. He secretly thought, "After I get your sister first, you will be next." He had the power of reincarnation, so Yan Bing didn't know what he was thinking. However, Zhou Peng could see that Zhou Wei definitely had no good intentions. He must be full of evil thoughts. Unable to argue with Yan Bing, Zhou Wei vented his anger on Zhou Peng and shouted sternly, "Kneel down!" "Why should I kneel down?" Zhou Peng retorted. Secretly thinking in his heart, "You coward. You want to bully me? You are still too inexperienced." In the Artifact Forging Hall, even if Zhou Wei had great power, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhou Peng. Moreover, with Shen Yan there, Zhou Wei would be even less likely to do anything. Zhou Wei thought it would be easy to bully a new disciple with his power as the senior brother. But unexpectedly, he kicked an iron plate. Zhou Peng, who was originally obsequious, suddenly became tough. "Kid, do you know who I am?" Zhou Wei stared at Zhou Peng ferociously, full of anger and said, "If you offend me, you won't have a good end." "Senior Brother, you just said that I don't deserve to know who you are." Zhou Peng said indifferently and then added, "I'm also not interested in knowing who you are." "You..." "How dare you insult the senior brother?" Zhou Wei immediately shouted and put the blame on Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng couldn't help but sneer. "Senior Brother, how dare I insult you? If you think I insulted you, I won't admit it. Even if I did insult you, I still won't admit it. Don't worry. I won't insult you because you are not worthy of being insulted by me." "You..." "How dare you." Zhou Wei was suddenly angry and roared. The power of reincarnation surged out. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. The powerful dignity of reincarnation was overwhelming. Zhou Peng's heart sank. He didn't expect Zhou Wei to dare to use force here. And looking at his expression, he had already had the intention to kill. The realm of reincarnation overpowered all the realms of Void Entry. Zhou Peng's mind seemed to be pressed down by a mountain. His face immediately turned pale and his whole body's blood seemed to freeze. "The power of reincarnation? Is this the power of reincarnation?" There was almost no room for resistance. A powerful anger rose in his heart. "Do you want me to act?" Yao Kong's voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Peng's mind. "No need." Zhou Peng secretly thought in his heart. Yao Kong was his trump card. He would definitely not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. "I don't believe you dare to kill me in the Artifact Forging Hall." Zhou Peng secretly shouted in his heart and thought, "Little Demon, be ready to listen to my orders at any time." "Yes, Boss." Little Demon immediately stood by in the dantian. "Zhou Wei, what do you want to do?" Yan Bing immediately jumped up and shouted loudly. Yan Xin also turned around and glared at Zhou Wei and said, "Are you crazy?" Zhou Peng was pushed back continuously by the reincarnation aura on Zhou Wei's body and was directly pressed against a pillar. His eyes were tightly wrinkled. His heart sank. "Level four berserk... Little Demon, be ready. If he dares to move, I'll kill him." Zhou Peng's aura suddenly changed and a powerful aura surged up. Zhou Wei's face changed in surprise. Coldly, he said, "At the third level of Void Entry. A firefly's light dares to compete with the bright moon. Seeking death..." "Presumptuous!" A sharp shout rang out. Immediately, a powerful force swept over like a flood. In the blink of an eye, everything in the hall returned to calm. The aura of breaking through the void. Vast and profound. It seemed to come from outside the sky and within the universe. It was so powerful that it instantly suppressed Zhou Wei's aura. "Master..." Zhou Wei's face changed. He immediately ran up. "Master, he was disrespectful to you. I couldn't stand it and wanted to teach him a lesson." "Master, Zhou Peng didn't disrespect you. On the contrary, Senior Brother's words showed dissatisfaction with you and even said that you are old." Yan Bing immediately refuted. "Yan Xin, you say." Shen Yan had no expression on her face. No one could see any emotional fluctuations. "Senior Brother is overthinking." Yan Xin was still as cold as ever. "Xinmei, you..." Zhou Wei was stunned. His face was slightly anxious. Secretly cursing in his heart, "Good you bitch. In vain, I have been so good to you. Now you actually stabbed me for a new disciple. I won't let you go." "Zhou Wei, this has nothing to do with you. Get out." Shen Yan immediately shouted. Extremely majestic. "Yes, Master." Zhou Wei lowered his head. Glanced coldly at Zhou Peng and then hurriedly exited the hall. Zhou Peng was stunned. Secretly thinking, "There's no punishment at all?" Daring to use force in the Artifact Forging Hall was a great crime. Shen Yan actually had no intention of punishing at all. Was it because she favored this disciple or because she was kind-hearted? Zhou Peng couldn't understand Shen Yan at all. "Zhou Peng, I won't pursue the matter of your being late. Don't spread what happened today." Shen Yan said indifferently. Zhou Peng immediately saluted and said, "This disciple obeys." "You two go into seclusion for three days. Within three days, you must not leave your room." "Yes, Master." Yan Xin and Yan Bing said simultaneously and then withdrew. Only Zhou Peng and Shen Yan were left in the hall. Shen Yan stared at Zhou Peng. Slightly sizing him up. She smiled faintly and said, "Don't be restrained. You completed the task of the strange fire in the Nether Sea and helped me a great deal. I still remember this kindness. Now that you have become my disciple, you must get familiar with everything in the Blazing Sun Palace. Yesterday you said you were interested in artifact forging. Today let's see if you have any potential." After saying that, a small cauldron appeared in Shen Yan's hand. There was a faint red light flickering inside the cauldron. Extremely strange. Shen Yan waved her hand. The cauldron fell into Zhou Peng's hand. She said, "Put your hand on it and use true qi. Just a thread is enough." Zhou Peng did as he was told. Gently putting his hand on it and using a thread of true qi and infusing it into his palms. After a few seconds passed, the red flame in the cauldron didn't change at all. Shen Yan was startled. Her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Secretly thinking in her heart, "Eh, why is there no reaction?" Puzzled, she then said, "Increase the true qi a bit more." Zhou Peng did as he was told and increased a bit of true qi. But the flame in the cauldron still didn't have any reaction. "Strange. Strange." Shen Yan looked at Zhou Peng with doubts in her eyes. She was greatly shocked. This cauldron was an immortal artifact for testing artifact forging potential. Whether a person can become an artifact forger can be known by testing luck. The flames in the cauldron are divided into seven colors. Red is the most common. The potential can be ignored. Purple is the highest. People with purple potential will definitely achieve great success in artifact forging in the future. A large part of the reason why Zhou Wei can become the senior brother of the Blazing Sun Palace is because he has purple potential. "Red?!" Shen Yan took back the cauldron and fell into deep thought. Just now when Zhou Peng tested, it was not only red, but also the flame in the cauldron didn't move at all. It was as if no true qi had entered. However, Shen Yan could see very clearly that Zhou Peng had indeed used true qi. What was the reason? Even she, a master of artifact forging, didn't understand. This situation had never happened before. Why on earth was it? For a while, Shen Yan was lost in thought and remained motionless. The whole person was like a sculpture, standing there motionless. Zhou Peng was stunned. Looking at Shen Yan's contemplative expression, he didn't dare to disturb. Secretly thinking in his heart, "What's so strange about red? Isn't it just no potential? There's no need to be so contemplative." An hour passed. Shen Yan still remained motionless without even blinking. Two hours passed. The sky had completely darkened. Shen Yan still didn't change at all. Three hours passed. Zhou Peng really couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Master, Master." Shen Yan seemed to not hear at all and still maintained her original expression. "Master, Master." Zhou Peng increased his voice a bit. Shen Yan still didn't change. "What's going on here?" Zhou Peng cursed secretly in his heart. Just when he wanted to increase his voice again. Shen Yan was suddenly startled and loudly said, "I know. I know. Is your dantian damaged?" Zhou Peng's heart sank suddenly. How did she know that my dantian was damaged?!
