"When you reach the Mountain Realm, youâll be able to wield Super Tier weapons. However, these Super Tier weapons arenât the strongest. Theyâre just transitional."
"During this time, you need to collect various superior materials, perhaps even excavate the Talent Divine Bone from Crystal Beasts, Resentful Beasts, and Ghosts, then ask a blacksmith to forge a fitting weapon for you."
Ye Ping nodded in agreement: "A weapon you forge yourself works the best. For instance, my Jade Flute came from the Root Bone of a Resentful Beast on the Alien Battlefield..."
Xu Ran nodded: "Understood. In the future, Iâll dig up the Root Bone of a Resentful God to make my weapon. Iâve already thought of a name, âJoy of the Gods.â"
The principal and Ye Ping: "..."
For others, saying this may sound like boasting without drafting, but for Xu Ran, who slew the Nightmare Vengeful Mother at the age of six, it doesnât feel out of place at all.
"Slaying the gods... thatâs up to your hard work... I hope that in my lifetime, I can witness peace throughout the world."
Xu Ran, holding the Red Gold Achievement [Twilight of the Gods], gave a warm smile: "It will happen."
"Shall we choose a magic technique now? Since youâve chosen a long saber, you should pick a sword skill technique."
Xu Ran wasnât in a rush at all: "No, no, no, letâs wait for the saber to come first. Iâll start with a Middle Tier saber for a while. If I can create my self-created saber technique, then Iâll learn some other Super Tier magic. Maximize the profit."
Principal: "You want to create your own saber technique?"
Xu Ran was as if it was only natural: "Of course. Itâs not as if I havenât created a magic technique before. Mysterious Footwork, Invisibility Skill..."
Principal: "If it were anybody else saying that, Iâd argue back, but with you, I canât..."
Xu Ran gave a faint smile: "Principal, for the sake of my self-created saber technique endeavors, you must support me with a Middle Tier Ring-Headed Saber!"
Principal: "Thatâs not a problem. I have plenty of Middle Tier weapons here. Follow me."
"By the way, you need a Qi Blood Lamp Lighting Technique, right?"
Xu Ran: "Thatâs right."
Nodding his head, Xu Ran followed the principal to a secret chamber.
He took a Qi Blood Lamp Lighting Technique and a Middle Tier Ring-Headed Saber.
Unable to contain his excitement, Xu Ran bid farewell: "Thank you, Principal, Iâm off to cultivate."
Principal: "Alright."
Anticipating a brand-new Magical Skill just ahead, Xu Ran used Three Thousand Thunder Moves, transforming into lightning, happily reaching the Cultivation Hall.
"Itâs already brewing, determined to win..."
Xu Ranâs heart raced wildly.
He felt as if a Super Divine Skill was spanning through time and space, merging into his body.
His heart pounded, his blood boiled, and his breathing quickened...
âClangâââ
The long saber was drawn, the sound of metal clashing was crisp, resonating with a hum that spread ever further, like a dragonâs roar, forming rings of echoes.
"Such a soul-pleasing sound!"
Xu Ran focused, standing firm like a pine tree, as attack methods rapidly sketched out in his mind: Point! Lift! Chop! Slash! Slice! Sweep!
The stone man in front of him was scarred, peeled off layer by layer... dropping to the ground with a âthud, thud.â
Soon, the stone man turned into a pile of fragments on the ground.
Xu Ranâs technique became increasingly refined, but the Magical Skill still hadnât triggered.
"Hmm? It didnât trigger? Whatâs going on? My technique is already very good."
Xu Ran activated Mysterious Footwork, reaching another stone man, Point! Lift! Slash! Slice! Sweep! The technique honed even further... yet the Magical Skill remained unfazed, with no notification in his mind.
"Somethingâs not right. My technique is commendable, and my combat skills are decent. Why canât I trigger any saber-related Magical Skills?"
Xu Ran fell into contemplation, then suddenly an insight struck him, slowly dispelling the fog that clouded his mind.
"I think I might know why..."
