Chapter 180 1st Opponent
Mithril possessed good moldability and could perfectly carry elemental energy. When forging a weapon, only a small amount of Mithril could greatly increase the elemental energy circulation of the weapon.
However, Mithril was a very soft metal, unable to withstand much impact. Therefore, when forging weapons, it was only an auxiliary material. Its entire body was made of Mithril, and it had almost no use other than being used for collection.
The silver lover was a weapon made by Master Bikov to commemorate his lover. The work was perfect. The inscription of the universe carved on the silver lover was the most proudest work of Master Bikov's life.
However, because of the Secret Silver, this weapon that should have been left behind in the universe could only be used as a collection.
The silver lover was very beautiful. It could be said to be the most beautiful weapon Kong Yun had ever seen. The materials used to forge him were very rare, and the inscriptions carved on the spear were also the pinnacle of the universe. However, he had lost his greatest use as a weapon in battle.
The weapons in the three metal boxes had their own characteristics. They all met Kong Yun's requirements. They were all weapons forged from some special metal. However, each of them had its own shortcomings. In fact, apart from the Wind Eagle Fan being more decent, neither Thousand Secrets nor Silver Lovers could be considered useful weapons.
There were definitely better weapons in the Cosmos Weapon Trading Firm, but they chose these three items to trade with Kong Yun. This gave people the feeling of dumping trash.
"Lord Ostino said that these three weapons must be sold together. 900 million The universe dollars." Qian Bin said.
"When did the Cosmos Weapon Trading Company do such a thing?" Yan Junshan snorted.
"I'm sorry, Elder Yan. This is a rule set by Lord Osteino. I have no right to change it. If Elder Yan feels that something is wrong, he can contact Lord Osteino at the headquarters directly." Qian Bin smiled.
"900 million The universe dollars. I want these three weapons." Kong Yun threw out his bank card.
Qian Bin smiled as he took the bank card. In the blink of an eye, 900 million cosmic coins were missing from Kong Yun's bank card. The original 1 billion cosmic coins only had 36 million cosmic coins left.
"Thank Lord Osteino for me. If there is a chance, I will definitely pay my respects to him personally." Kong Yun said with a smile.
Qian Bin was stunned for a moment and habitually nodded. However, he was also a bit puzzled in his heart. Could there really be such a person in the world, Kai Zi?
Qian Bin was able to sit in the position of manager of the Tiger King Star Universe Weapon Trading Company. His eyes were naturally not bad. Although the three weapons that Lord Austino had sent were all forged from very rare materials, they were too flawed to be used in actual combat.
Especially the silver lover. Qian Bin had heard of this weapon before. It was Grandmaster Bikov's final work and also his most failed work. Chicken-rib-like items were simply unsaleable in the Universe Weapon Shop.
However, Kong Yun actually spent 900 million The universe coins to buy all three weapons. In Qian Bin's eyes, Kong Yun had a big kai hanging on his head.
In the center of the distant The universe, Ostillo waved his glass of wine in his hand. "From that wild planet, I'm very curious about your ranking in this interstellar martial exercise."
The Star Exercise was a grand gathering of the entire The universe. Although it was led by the Big Universe Bank, the Universe Science and Technology Company, and the Universe Nobility Clan, all forces in the universe were involved. They all hoped to find some good seedlings in the Star Exercise.
The knowledgeable Audi ñ o vaguely guessed what Kong Yun was going to do with the weapons that Kong Yun had designated to be made of rare metals. He didn't expect that Kong Yun would really be able to guess correctly. Apart from those who possessed metallic abilities, few people were willing to spend so much money to buy these weapons.
However, Kong Yun had also fully displayed his ability to lose money. The remaining 30 million cosmic coins were also squandered by him. All kinds of metals in the universe were bought, leaving only 2 million cosmic coins for daily expenses.
Cosmic coins were the currency commonly used in the universe. They had extremely strong purchasing power. Thirty million cosmic coins had purchased thousands of tons of metals. Many of them were relatively rare metals, enough for Kong Yun to eat for a long time.
Tomorrow is the White Tiger Star System's selection contest. There is only one cultivator in the entire Star System who can represent the White Tiger Star System in an interstellar martial exercise. There will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers.
After parting ways with Yan Junshan, Kong Yun booked a room in a hotel and had the two robots guard the door. Then, he took out a piece of metal the size of a palm from his spatial ring and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Kabeng!" The hard metal was like chocolate in Kong Yun's mouth, and he chewed a few times before swallowing it into his stomach.
"It tastes good, much better than the metal on Earth." The corners of Kong Yun's mouth curved upwards. Several tons of metal appeared on the floor. His body turned into liquid metal, slowly devouring the metal pieces.
"Every time I see you devour metal, I'm a little scared. What if one day you suddenly go crazy and devour me?" Xiao Xing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Worrying too much, I don't even want to eat your small body." Kong Yun said angrily.
"Are you confident in the Star Exercise?" Xiao Xing sat on the table and looked at the pool of liquid metal below.
"I'm not sure." Kong Yun's voice came from the metal.
Xiao Xing was stunned, "Your answer is really straightforward!"
"After all, I haven't fought with any alien cultivators before. Let's take a step-by-step look. This is the only way to obtain the Ethereal Spirit Fruit so far." Kong Yun sighed.
"Mm, that's the only way. I'll look for information online in the next two days to see if there's any other way to obtain the Ethereal Spirit Fruit." Xiao Xing nodded.
Xiao Xing was a highly intelligent robot with the ability to learn independently. After so long in Blackstone Palace, the knowledge he had mastered was somewhat out of touch with the universe. He had to update it as soon as possible.
For a small star that wasn't a battle type, it wasn't urgent to update its hardware. When Kong Yun had the conditions, it would be fine to update it a little bit more.
In just one night, no matter how talented a cultivator was, their strength would not improve much.
However, this didn't apply to Kong Yun. As long as he had enough metal, Kong Yun's strength could increase by several levels in a short period of time.
Although it was only one night, Kong Yun had devoured hundreds of new types of metals. Metals that didn't even exist on Earth. These metals had fused with Kong Yun's metallic abilities to form a brand new type of metal, a metal that had never appeared in the universe before.
"That's right. The strength of your ability has increased by a lot in one night. However, the biggest increase for you should be the increase in the metal species in your body, right?" Xiao Xing said with a smile.
"Let's go. Have you found out about my opponent?" Kong Yun walked out of the hotel.
"Little brother Kong Yun!" Yan Junshan waved at Kong Yun.
Kong Yun was stunned, "Elder Yan, why are you still here? Didn't you return to the Domain of Heaven and Earth?"
"I have nothing to do when I return to the Domain of Heaven and Earth. It's rare to meet little brother Kong Yun here. I also want to see little brother Kong Yun's performance here." Yan Junshan laughed heartily.
"Little brother Kong Yun, you have to win. I bet 200 million The universe coins on you." Yan Junshan whispered in Kong Yun's ear.
Kong Yun smiled bitterly, "Elder Yan, I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
"Little Gambling Yiqing, little Gambling Yiqing." Yan Junshan laughed heartily.
Every interstellar martial arts show was the time for the casinos to open their doors. Now, it was only a selection contest, at best, it was just a small fight.
"Your opponent is not simple. He is a very powerful Cosmos Realm expert from the White Tiger Star System. He is a remoulder." Xiao Xing said.
"Transforming people?" Kong Yun scratched his head.
"Modified humans are divided into mechanical and biological modifications. They are very common in the universe. Your opponent is a mechanical modifier named Norjella." Xiao Xing said.
Kong Yun's lips curled into a mysterious smile, "Isn't it ugly to meet someone who is mechanically modified?"
"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to expose your metal abilities, or leave your trump card until the end." Xiao Xing said.
"Understood, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. I understand that." Kong Yun nodded.
"F*ck, I mean to let you retain your strength. Don't expose your strength too early, so that others will have a way to deal with it." Xiao Xing patted his head and said.
"Then I still need to get two weapons to put on a show." Kong Yun chuckled.
"This is fine!" Xiao Xing nodded.
The selection schedule was very tense, starting at 9 a.m. and continuing until 10 p.m. If one was unlucky, they might not even have a moment to rest.
"Brother Yan, what's there to watch in an audition that doesn't enter the Meteor Domain? You still want to trick us into placing a heavy bet." Beside Yan Junshan, there were a few old men who were about the same age complaining.
"Hehe, there's naturally a good show to watch!" Yan Junshan said with a smile.
There were tens of thousands of arenas floating in the sky of White Tiger Star, and the staff of the Star Exercise were all keeping records outside the arena.
Kong Yun calmly stood on one side of the arena, waiting for his opponent. This was the first time he had fought an alien cultivator. He didn't know how strong this mechanical altered person was.
"The speed, strength, attack, and defense of a mechanically modified person can all be described as perfect. Depending on the parts and parts that are modified, there will be different emphases." Xiao Xing explained.
"Boom!" The arena shook and a giant robot descended from the sky.
"Referee, is this okay?" Kong Yun pointed at the robot that was about ten meters tall.
"Sure." The referee nodded. As long as it wasn't at the level of an interstellar warship, it was within the scope of the interstellar drill.
