Sigwin stood atop the bell tower, waving at the cheering crowd before turning his attention to the golden bell. With a deep breath, he gathered all his energy in his lower abdomen and let out a powerful cry, unleashing his aura. Meanwhile, Jared was puzzled as he watched Sigwin struggling with the hammer.
“Is there an arcane array on the hammer as well?” he asked Zain. Claus, who had overheard the question, chimed in, “No, there’s no arcane array, but don’t underestimate the hammer just because of its small size. It’s made out of a meteorite and weighs thousands of kilograms. I doubt you. could even lift it.”
Jared was stunned by the weight of the hammer and briefly entertained the idea of using it as a weapon. But he didn’t say anything anymore and simply watched Sigwin on the bell tower. Sigwin took another deep breath, gathered his strength, and swung the hammer down on the Dragon Bell.
Chime! The resounding chime of the bell reverberated through the plaza, captivating the hearts of many with its sonorous tones. Suddenly, one of the dragons carved on the surface of the bell glowed with a golden light.
With a mighty roar, a golden dragon burst forth from the bell and took flight, encircling the tower. The spectators cheered and marveled at the sight, mesmerized by the dragon’s stunning beauty.
“I haven’t seen a golden dragon fly in years.” “Indeed, no one has rung the Dragon Bell since the last time the Secret Realm Conference ended.” “Sigwin is as powerful as ever.”
As the crowd talked among themselves, Sigwin raised the hammer once more, commanding their attention. All around him, the spectators fell silent, their eyes fixated on him in anticipation.
With a mighty swing, he struck the Golden Bell once again, producing a deafening clang that. echoed throughout the plaza, followed by the sudden appearance of a magnificent golden dragon bursting forth from its surface. The two mythical creatures encircled the bell tower in a stunning display.
Meanwhile, Sigwin carefully placed the hammer back into its holder as the weight was becoming too much to bear. Nevertheless, he had proven himself to be the most powerful cultivator among the younger generation in the Eight Major Secret Realms by striking the Dragon Bell twice in a row.
“Wow! I can’t believe Sigwin struck the Dragon Bell twice in a row. He’s amazing!” exclaimed one of the spectators. After the two dragons circled the bell tower for a while, they transformed into a streak of golden light and returned to the Dragon Bell.
Joy was evident on Sigwin’s face as he jumped down from the bell tower. Many people crowded around him as he landed, eager to gain favor with the most outstanding. youth in the Eight Major Secret Realms.
Jared sneered as he watched the crowd fawn over Sigwin. “All he did was strike the bell twice. Why are people making such a fuss over it? Such bumpkins. It seems there’s not much difference between the Eight Major Secret Realms and the mundane world.” However, Sigwin overheard Jared’s comment as he passed by. He paused and turned to face Jared, stunned.
“Who are you? Which secret realm are you from?” he asked. Evangeline quickly intervened before Jared could say a word, “Mr. Green, he’s one of the Gundersons from the Gate of Fire!”
“The Gunderson family from the Gate of Fire?” Sigwin frowned. “I’ve never heard of them. producing any exceptional talent before. How can you be so bold? And did I hear you mention the mundane world? Since when can the mundane world ever compare to our secret realms?”
