2219 The First on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, Dai Tian, I Don’t Mind Having a Match With You

"I… I have lost."

Ou Yenuo looked at the broken sword in his hand, lost in thought.

He, as the strongest weaponsmith in Myriad Arms City, had lost in weaponsmithing.

Not only he but many of the Myriad Arms City weaponsmiths were astonished. They could not believe their eyes.

Among the crowd, Chu Kuangren looked surprised. "Interesting."

"Ha! You're no match for me when it comes to weaponsmithing, Ou Yenuo. From this day onward, I'm the strongest weaponsmith of Myriad Arms City." The unnamed, black-robed man laughed.

Ou Yenuo looked at the man and said, "At the very least, I should know who I lost to. So, out with it. Who the hell are you?"

"Heh."

The black-robed man pulled his robes away, revealing his true identity.

It was an elderly man with gray hair on the sides of his head.

He exuded a menacing aura and had red patterns flowing all over his body, releasing bursts of scorching heat.

"My name is… Dai Tian!"

At the mention of the name Dai Tian, the crowd immediately fell into an uproar.

It was because they were no strangers to that name.

The person was the first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard!

"Dai Tian… I can't believe the person who competed against Ou Yenuo is ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard. No wonder Master Ou lost."

"This person is the best weaponsmith in the universe."

Having realized who the man was, many weaponsmiths started a discussion.

Although Ou Yenuo was astonished, he knew that his defeat made sense. After all, only a weaponsmith like that could defeat him.

However, he was still confused.

"Why did you conceal your identity to challenge me?"

"If I were to seek you out with my true identity, would you have agreed to my challenge? Then, how will I obtain the title of the strongest weaponsmith in the Myriad Arms City?" Dai Tian asked calmly.

If he, the one ranked first on the leaderboard, came to challenge Ou Yenuo, Ou Yenuo would surely reject his request and refuse to hand over the title of strongest weaponsmith.

Hence, he could only approach with his identity concealed to make his opponent lose his guard.

"From this day onward, I shall be Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith! The whole city will be under my control!" said Dai Tian as he looked at everyone.

His motive was not to defeat Ou Yenuo.

Instead, it was to gain control over Myriad Arms City.

As the largest weaponsmiths gathering spot in the Great Hongmeng Universe, the city produced countless weapons and supplied them to countless cultivators.

The moment one gained control of this city, they would rule over a never-ending flow of wealth!

It was a huge temptation to anyone.

Moreover, Dai Tian believed that, as the first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, every weaponsmith in the world must obey his comment. 

"You want to control Myriad Arms City? That's impossible," Ou Yenuo said.

He could hand over the title of the Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith to Dai Tian.

However, he could not do the same when it came to control of Myriad Arms City.

"Oh, and why is that?" Dai Tian sneered.

It seemed to him that Ou Yenuo was unwilling to hand over his authority. However, since he had become Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith, Ou Yenuo would have no choice but to hand over control.

Only the strongest weaponsmith deserved to rule over Myriad Arms City.

"Well, that's because I'm in control here."

At that moment, someone laughed.

Chu Kuangren walked out slowly, and when he looked at Dai Tian, the Divine Void Seal inside him started to react strangely.

It gave him reason to speculate something.

"Who are you?"

Dai Tian frowned as he looked at Chu Kuangren.

"I'm Chu Kuangren, the one in control of Myriad Arms City."

"Chu Kuangren… the first on the Grand Dao Leaderboard and Human Divine Bachelor Leaderboard. I didn't expect it to be you." Dai Tian looked at Chu Kuangren with surprise, but then he sneered. "You're not even a weaponsmith. What gives you the right to control Myriad Arms City?"

The Myriad Arms City was a gathering spot for weaponsmiths.

Everyone would only be satisfied if they had a weaponsmith as their leader, just like how the Heavenly Formation Palace's ruler was the Formation King.

"Who said I'm not a weaponsmith?" Chu Kuangren asked.

Ou Yenuo and the others were dumbfounded.

Did Chu Kuangren know weaponsmithing?

"Oh, alright. But so what if you're a weaponsmith? Not any weaponsmith can rule over Myriad Arms City as they wish." Dai Tian sneered again.

From his perspective, even if Chu Kuangren knew a little about weaponsmithing, how good would his skills be? Hence, he believed Chu Kuangren was unqualified to control Myriad Arms City.

After that, he turned to the weaponsmiths and said, "Everyone, as all of you know, the first on the Formation Leaderboard is the Formation King, who is also the ruler of the Heavenly Formation Palace. As weaponsmithing is no weaker than the skill of formations, Myriad Arms City should not fall short of the Heavenly Formation Palace either. Under my leadership, we can surely stand on par with them…"

His impassioned speech stirred the emotions of many.

Many people began imagining a day when Myriad Arms City was a Monarch-level force like the Heavenly Formation Palace, stunning the universe with its might.

"Oh, do you think you're worthy of comparing yourself to a Monarch?" Chu Kuangren mocked.

Dai Tian, who was in the middle of making his heartfelt speech, got enraged. "Chu Kuangren, you're not welcome here in Myriad Arms City. Please leave this place immediately."

He had assumed himself to be the master of Myriad Arms City.

"As I said, I'm the Myriad Arms City's master! I'm the only one who has the final say in everything here!" Chu Kuangren's gaze narrowed, and his aura erupted.

His terrifying Great Dao aura instantly enveloped Dai Tian.

A bone-chilling killing intent was also contained within it.

Although Dai Tian was ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, his cultivation was not as powerful as his weaponsmithing skills. Besides, he was only an ordinary Grand Dao Supreme Sage.

Under the pressure of Chu Kuangren's aura, he felt terrified.

'D*mn it.'

'Why are things not going according to plan?'

'How did Chu Kuangren gain control of Myriad Arms City?'

He looked at the surrounding weaponsmiths and noticed that no one was speaking up for him. Everyone was looking at Chu Kuangren fearfully.

On top of that, Ou Yenuo was also standing by Chu Kuangren's side.

As the former strongest weaponsmith of Myriad Arms City, his reputation was solid, and it was not something a newcomer weaponsmith like Dai Tian could compare to.

It did not matter, even if he ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard.

If he came to Myriad Arms City to set up shop and slowly display his weaponsmithing prowess, perhaps he could build up enough reputation to rule the city one day. Alas, he was too impatient. Having just arrived, he immediately defeated Ou Yenuo and demanded control over the city, neglecting the fact that Chu Kuangren was there.

"Damn it. Should I leave first?"

Dai Tian did not want to leave.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Chu Kuangren. "You say you're the master of this city, so your weaponsmithing skills must be impeccable. Do you dare to have a match with me? And the loser will have to leave Myriad Arms City. What do you think of it?"

A mischievous look appeared on Chu Kuangren's face.

He had been eager to compete against Dai Tian, but he did not expect Dai Tian to be the one to challenge him.

"How shameless."

Lan Yu snorted coldly from the side. "You're ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, yet you intend to compete with Master? Do you not have any shame?"

"That's right. Isn't this simply bullying?" Ou Yenuo asked with contempt.

"Hah! So, is that the kind of person who's ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard? What a joke."

"It looks like weaponsmithing skills are all he has. He's no master at all."

The other weaponsmiths also joined in and mocked him.

Dai Tian's face cycled through various expressions as he became the subject of mockery. 

"I don't mind having a match with you," Chu Kuangren suddenly said indifferently, to the shock of everyone.
