"A heaven-defying monster—this Chu Feng must be a heaven-defying monster!"
"Otherwise, how could he possibly have made so many armaments resonate with him?"
Cries of astonishment erupted from the crowd, and before long the entire gathering had erupted into an uproar.
Even the people from the Immortal Armament Manor were visibly stunned.
"Manor Master, this Chu Feng is truly extraordinary," the red-haired elder said to the Manor Master, his face alight with excitement.
"This young man is indeed remarkable." Even the Immortal Armament Manor Master could not help but praise Chu Feng.
"Young Friend Chu Feng is truly no ordinary person. He has actually managed to make every single half-finished immortal armament on the first floor of my Immortal Armament Treasury resonate with him."
"In that case, you may freely choose from these armaments. Whichever one you pick, it shall be yours," the Immortal Armament Manor Master said.
"Manor Master, may I continue onward?" Chu Feng asked calmly.
"Young Friend Chu Feng, you wish to enter the second floor?" At that, even a flash of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Immortal Armament Manor Master.
"To be honest, I have little interest in half-finished immortal armaments. I chose to enter the Immortal Armament Treasury precisely to see whether I could trigger a resonance with the true immortal armaments," Chu Feng said.
"Young Friend Chu Feng, I advise you to reconsider. Once you enter the second floor, what you will be challenging are the true immortal armaments."
"Even though you have successfully made every half-finished immortal armament on the first floor resonate with you—"
"The moment you step onto the second floor, you will forfeit all of the half-finished immortal armaments from the first floor."
"You will have to start over, and whether or not you gain anything will depend on whether the true immortal armaments on the second floor resonate with you."
"And I can assure you, young man—true immortal armaments are not so easily moved to resonance."
"Even though you made every half-finished immortal armament on the first floor resonate with you, it is entirely possible that not a single true immortal armament on the second floor will do the same."
It was then that the red-haired elder spoke up.
"Why wasn't this rule mentioned earlier?" Chu Feng asked.
"It was my oversight. I did not anticipate that Young Friend Chu Feng would be so bold as to come specifically to challenge the true immortal armaments."
"But what Elder Tuo Ba says is entirely true. Many people here are already aware of this rule. Our Immortal Armament Manor would never deceive Young Friend Chu Feng."
The Immortal Armament Manor Master then spoke.
"That is indeed the case, Young Hero Chu Feng. The Manor Master is not deceiving you."
At that moment, many of the respected senior experts present spoke up in agreement, and numerous others chimed in as well. From their reactions, Chu Feng could tell that the Immortal Armament Manor had not been lying to him. The rule genuinely existed.
"Eggy, what do you think? Should I keep going?"
Rather than making an immediate decision, Chu Feng sought the opinion of the Queen.
"In my view, the Immortal Armament Manor is willing to gift you any half-finished immortal armament, but when it comes to a true immortal armament, they simply cannot bear to part with one. If you insist on going up, they may well resort to underhanded tricks."
"After all, what lies up there is merely an array, not the actual Immortal Armament Treasury. And arrays... can always be manipulated," the Queen said.
"Eggy, you and I are thinking the same thing. If I insist on going up, I will very likely come away with nothing."
"But if I don't go up, I can at least choose a half-finished immortal armament," Chu Feng said.
"However, the Dragon Phoenix Silver River that the Immortal Armament Manor Master brought out earlier was already the pinnacle among half-finished immortal armaments."
