Chapter 1296: 1296
The emperor frowned . Then he interlocked the fingers of both hands to form some sort of dome around a new flame he was conjuring .
With great fervor, he unleashed another fireborne punch at the drum . The power used was frightening, but the sound emitted by the drum was even quieter than the first time he had hit it .
The emperor hit the drum a third time, then, to the greeting of silence . Failing to sound the drum at all, the spirit looked embarrassed and tried to avoid eye-contact with the feverish crowd that had gathered to watch the proceedings .
Han Sen was surprised . The emperor had ten open gene locks, and he had thrown a punch carried by terrible fire; why could he not sound the drum?
After this emperor, a few other emperors decided to give the drum a few shots of their own . They all failed to make any sound worth noting . Even a few super creatures were giving it a go, but most of them lacked the ability to play the drum, same as the rest .
But then came one super creature that managed to hit the drum seven times, and produced seven firm acoustical sounds . This earned the creature seven baby fruits .
The super creature gobbled them all up at once, but it wasn't lucky enough to earn the real holy baby fruit . That was something that came as a relief to those who had yet to try their hand .
Many emperors and super creatures followed, and it was startling to see that only a few were able to play the drum properly and earn themselves a reward . But Han Sen noticed the ones that could produce sound with the drum were the ones that were lacking in strength compared to the others . Whether that was by design or not, he could not tell .
With Han Sen's Dongxuan Aura, he could read their individual strength . And it told him that the emperors with the most strength were the ones that could barely register a sound when hitting the drum .
Han Sen observed the event, but he could not establish any logical reason as to why this was .
"So, what do you think? Would you like to give it a try?" Empty Witch asked Han Sen .
Han Sen shook his head and responded, "Not many people can knock it and create a sound, but I'll give it a go sometime later I suppose . "
Han Sen wanted to watch for a little longer . Once he figured out the trick, he believed, he'd have a greater chance of success .
"There is no skill involved . It's all luck," Empty Witch said, suspecting his goal . But then she went on to say, "I know you'll succeed, though . "
"Why?" Han Sen asked .
"Lotus Empress was sure," Empty Witch said .
Han Sen looked over at Lotus Empress, watching members of the audience step forward to try to beat the drum . By now, only ten of them had managed to successfully sound the drum seven times .
Seeing no one else eager to try, Han Sen thought now was as good a time as any to test his luck .
Han Sen was the only human attending the event .
A lot of people looked upon him with disdain, particularly so when they realized he only had nine gene locks open . Han Sen walked in front of the drum and used Jadeskin, which made his fist look like jade .
