As You Zhe watched the crowd, he said, “Now that everyone is here, there’s no need to register for the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, or Martial Arts Stage. All of you should know that you can only participate in one of the stages. Those who are participating in the Arts Stage can come with me to the breeding room to choose your topic and nurture a fey accordingly.

“Although every person’s topic is different, the topics were all chosen by the Moon Empress and Lord Bamboo Monarch. All topics have a similar difficulty level and will test your powers as a Creation Master. The person who comes out of the breeding room first shall be the champion. The Arts Stage will end once the top three exit the breeding room.”

You Zhe walked toward a long corridor, followed by the disciples of veteran and top factions who were going to participate in the Arts Stage.

Long Tao also stood up to follow.

Lin Yuan, Li Xuan, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, and Sun Ningxiang gave him some words of motivation before he left.

Long Tao also seemed to be full of confidence.

Although Long Tao had strong fighting abilities, he had more confidence in his Creation Master abilities. He knew that even though his Creation Master education could not compare to that of Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, or Gu Lang, his level was still above the other disciples of top factions.

Coiling Dragon’s Valley’s Creation Master skills were only below that of the Moon Empress, Bamboo Monarch, and Chef Supreme. Not even the disciples of the members of royalty who had been learning Creation Master skills since they were young could compare to Long Tao.

As the only direct descendant of Coiling Dragon’s Valley, his family had invested countless resources into his Creation Master education.

Long Tao’s self-confidence had taken a hit after he failed to become the Moon Empress’s disciple at Leaning Moon Mountain.

After returning to Coiling Dragon’s Valley, he had basically locked himself away to increase his Creation Master powers, with the exception of participating in the S Tournament.

Now, Long Tao had realized that he could use a small portion of his soul to concoct spirit fluids when he was in optimum condition.

The Electric Crystal Turtle could grow electric crystals on its shell after absorbing enough electricity from storm clouds.

Although electric crystals did not have equally as pure elemental energy as heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, they could have a purity of about 75%.

Most importantly, the Electric Crystal Turtle did not need to use Creation Master resources to grow electric crystals on its shell. All it needed was to find storm clouds.

As such, the Crystal Electric Turtle was essentially a fountain of resources that did not require much maintenance.

However, Long Tao knew that not even five Electric Crystal Turtles could compare to the Island Whale that had yet to be nurtured by spirit qi and pure water element.

The distance in value between the first place and second place prize was even further than that between the second place and third place prize.

Although they were both Island Whales, the second-place prize of an Island Whale that had yet to be nurtured by spirit qi and pure water element required a significant amount of Creation Master resources as compared to the first-place prize of an Island Whale that was about to hatch.

Even Coiling Dragon’s Valley would have difficulty producing the Creation Master resources that the Island Whale would require.

An old saying had been repeated amongst top factions and veteran factions: “It’s not that impressive to have an unhatched Island Whale. It’s only impressive if you can hatch it.”

Even veteran factions that had a wealth of resources required decades to hatch one Island Whale.

The moment he saw Gu Lang, Long Tao gave up all thoughts of becoming the champion.

Although he had given up on the first place, he was going to do everything in his power to attain second place.

Coiling Dragon’s Valley would be able to hatch the Island Whale that veteran factions were unable to.

Despite already having a hatched Island Whale, the unhatched Island Whale was a strategic resource in itself.

Coiling Dragon’s Valley could even use the Island Whale as leverage to trade for resources that they needed with other veteran factions.
