With the words of Xue Haoling, the practitioners from Beihai Academy turned their gaze towards him. Prior to this, they were too focused on their own battles and had not noticed Xue Haoling's performance. Now, upon hearing his words, they realized that Xue Haoling had obtained an inscription at some point.
"Xue Haoling, where did you get this inscription from?" asked Lv Jinglin with a hint of curiosity. They hadn't been able to purchase any inscriptions at the Martial Treasure Pavilion before. Although they had returned to the pavilion the next day, they discovered that the third floor was reserved for communication among the three inscription masters, and the sale of inscriptions was just an accompanying result.
"If I may ask, wasn't this inscription expensive? The prices of inscriptions at the auction are the highest," added Lv Jinglin.
Xue Haoling casually waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned. "Not expensive at all. It's nothing. My elder relatives participated in the auction and specifically acquired it for me. I didn't expect the inscription to be so useful."
However, no one took Xue Haoling's words seriously. They all knew that he was wealthy. Just because he claimed it wasn't expensive didn't mean it truly wasn't.
Inscriptions were always precious, and considering the remarkable effects of Xue Haoling's inscription, its value must be significant.
Seeing the envious expressions of Lv Jinglin and the others, Xue Haoling couldn't help but smile inwardly. In fact, the price of this inscription was genuinely not high, and his elders hadn't paid much attention to it when they acquired it. Giving one to him was merely a token gesture.
He had originally planned to buy an inscription at the Martial Treasure Pavilion, but the prices were too high, and he had no choice but to give up. Thinking that today he would participate in the exchange competition, he hoped that even if the effect of the inscription was not remarkable, it might still be somewhat helpful. However, to his surprise, he found that the inscription was not just slightly helpful but extremely powerful!
Without the assistance of this inscription, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Cui Haoyan so easily. It was truly a significant weapon!
Xiao Lanmei's gaze also fell on the crimson inscription on Xue Haoling's weapon, and she noticed its formidable augmentation effect. Inscription Masters' abilities were indeed immense. If two individuals had similar strengths, the inscription could directly influence the final outcome.
"Now Xue Haoling is showing off!" Cui Haoyan's expression turned displeased. He couldn't stand this annoying guy who loved to flaunt.
Xue Haoling also noticed Cui Haoyan's angry expression and couldn't help but raise his weapon high, his expression filled with triumph. "Hillbilly, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being able to afford an inscription. If you could, perhaps the outcome wouldn't be like this. Haha!"
Xue Haoling saw no problem with winning through the use of inscriptions. After all, wealth was also a part of one's strength. Every genius was nurtured under the accumulation of wealth. How could a poor pauper who couldn't even afford a weapon become an excellent practitioner?
