Boom!
Streams of aura continuously rippled on the sword.
Outside, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang stood up at the same time and looked inside.
âWhatâs happening?â The two of them looked at each other but didnât rush in.
They didnât sense any danger. Furthermore, Zhou Shu had said that he wanted to study forging techniques, so they shouldnât disturb him.
âLittle Senior Sister Lu, do you think heâs forging?â Yin Wuyou asked doubtfully. She could feel waves of heat coming from inside.
But Zhou Shu didnât bring a furnace.
Lu Wenshuang rolled her eyes and harrumphed.
âCall me Senior Sister Lu!â she corrected patiently. âHow would I know? Donât you know him better?â
Yin Wuyou blushed slightly. âNo, Iâm just his superior.â
Lu Wenshuang pursed her lips. Anyone can tell what youâre thinking.
âMy mission is only to ensure he doesnât die. What he does has nothing to do with me,â Lu Wenshuang said. I am only interested in swords. Men?
Men will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!
She glanced at Yin Wuyou with contempt. Your aptitude clearly isnât inferior to mine. Instead of putting your heart and soul into cultivating your Sword Dao, you revolve around a man all day. What future prospects do you have!? Thinking of this, Lu Wenshuang suddenly felt an ache in her heart.
This infatuated junior sister seems to have broken through to the second rank of the Martial Dao before me!
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly. Could it be that men have such uses?
She frowned and looked in the direction of the inner room. An indescribable expression flashed across her eyes.
Zhou Shu stayed in his room for several days.
If not for the fact that they could still sense Zhou Shuâs aura, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang would have already charged in.
During this period of time, the challengers from the other nations had already arrived at Great Qinâs capital.
Just like what Zhou Shu had felt before, the nine nations, in addition to Great Qin-which wasnât allowed to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament in succession according to the rules-gathered in Great Qinâs capital.
They would compete for the right to host this yearâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
Now that everyone had arrived, and Great Qin had prepared the final venue, they informed the diplomatic missions of the various nations to prepare for the final competition. Just as Yin Wuyou and the others were hesitating about whether or not to interrupt Zhou Shu, the heat waves in Zhou Shuâs room suddenly subsided, and he rushed out excitedly.
âHuh? Why is everyone here?â Zhou Shu said as soon as he left the room.
âWait.â Without waiting for everyone to speak, he said directly, âHave you seen Yang Hong? Where is he?â
âYang Hong?â Everyone was slightly stunned.
âWho is Yang Hong?â Shi Songtao asked.
Zhou Shu glanced at him. âYouâre not capable enough to be the head steward. You donât even know the people in our diplomatic mission?â
Then he walked away.
Shi Songtao was a little confused. When did I become the head steward?
I am the deputy envoy of Great Xiaâs diplomatic mission!
Yang Hong, which one is Yang Hong?
I really donât know!
âYang Hong is a divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. He is among the guards of the diplomatic mission.â With that, Yin Wuyou chased after Zhou Shu. Shi Songtao was going crazy. Chen Ji is in charge of the guards, not me! Why are you looking down on me!?
Zhou Shuâs gaze agitated him.
I am not capable enough? This is intolerable!
Just you wait! I will get to know everyone in the diplomatic mission later!
I, Shi Songtao, can remember tens of thousands of forging materials. How can I not remember these mere two thousand people? Shi Songtao didnât realize that he seemed to have become a head steward.
Because of what Zhou Shu said, he made up his mind to get to know everyone in the diplomatic mission. The key was that he didnât feel that there was anything wrong with this matter!
When Zhou Shu found Yang Hong, Yang Hong had just gotten off duty. âGreetings, Marquis, Your Highness, and Deputy Envoy Lu.â Yang Hong bowed while secretly giving Zhou Shu a thumbs up. As expected of the marquis, the two beauties are inseparable from him. He is my role model. âCatch this!â Zhou Shu laughed. He raised his hand, and a black shadow flew toward Yang Hong
âWhat?â Yang Hong was shocked and subconsciously reached out to grab it.
His hand felt a little heavy, and a cold sensation came from his palm.
Yang Hong realized that he had a sheathed sword in his hand.
This is⦠A thought appeared in his mind, and joy appeared on his face uncontrollably. He could even hear his own heartbeat. Is this what I think it is?
âDivine Constable Yang, try it and see if it suits you.â Zhou Shu smiled. âI think this sword is more suitable for the divine constables of the Divine Constable Bureau. If you donât like it, then-11n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI like it! I like it!â Yang Hong was already shouting before Zhou Shu could finish.
His face flushed red as he gripped the sword in his hand tightly. The sword was already in his hands. He would never return it.
Live or die, my sword will stay with meâ¦
I will never be without it!
âTry it first.â Zhou Shu was speechless. Why is everyone so excited?
Theyâre just yellow-grade weapons.
It wonât be too late for them to get excited after Iâve upgraded them to heaven-grade weapons.
Yang Hong noticed his loss of composure and smiled awkwardly.
Only then did he unsheathe his sword with a
clang.
When he saw the sword, he was clearly stunned.
Not only him, but even Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang looked surprised.
Rather than calling it a sword, Yang Hongâs weapon was more like a ruler.
It was more than three feet long, completely black, and rectangular. It was a longer version of a ruler.
âLike a sword it attacks, Edgeless Mo Mei Sword,â Zhou Shu said loudly. âThis sword is called Mo Mei.
âDivine Constable Yang, you are a divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. The Divine Constable Bureau is not part of the three armies. Even if you encounter enemies, you need to capture and interrogate them first. This Mo Mei Sword is suitable for divine constables.
âAlthough it is edgeless, as long as there is enough spiritual essence, it can produce invisible sword qi with infinite power. Killing and capturing people will all depend on a single thought.â
âThe Mo Mei Sword?â Yang Hong muttered. He gripped the sword hilt as the spiritual essence in his body surged into the sword.
Several profound lines lit up on the body of the ruler-like sword.
Swish!
A stream of sword qi slashed out from the tip of the sword, landing on the rock garden several meters away.
With a soft sound, a ten-foot-tall boulder was cut in two.
Yang Hong panted heavily, looking surprised and delighted.
âMarquis, this sword is too valuable. I canât afford itâ¦â Yang Hong said with a pale face while panting heavily.
With his ninth-rank cultivation, he could only use the Mo Mei Sword three times before his spiritual essence was depleted.
Yang Hong knew in his heart that it was a waste for Zhou Shu to give him the Mo Mei Sword.
If given to a seventh-rank or even sixth-rank martial artist, the power that the Mo Mei Sword could unleash would definitely be ten times or even a hundred times greater than his!
Even though he was reluctant to part with it, he didnât want to do the Mo Mei Sword injustice.
It was true that he couldnât afford itâ¦
âDidnât I say before that you can pay in installments?â Zhou Shu said. âYou are a divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. I donât have to worry about you running away without paying for it.â
âBut I donât deserve it.â Yang Hongâs face flushed red.
To ordinary people, ninth-rank martial artists were already experts. But Yang Hong really didnât dare to say that he was an expert. Furthermore, he estimated that the Mo Mei Sword would rank in the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Chen Ji was a fifth-rank martial artist, but he had only just gotten his hands on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, one of the top ten weapons in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. Yang Hong didnât dare to imagine owning the Mo Mei Sword.
âThis Mo Mei Sword is from me to you. Who dares to say that youâre unworthy of it?â Zhou Shu said. âIf you feel that you are not worthy of it, then work hard on your cultivation and strive to be worthy of it as soon as possible.
âDivine Constable Yang, I believe in you!â Zhou Shu patted Yang Hongâs shoulder.
âMarquis!â Yang Hongâs eyes instantly turned red as tears welled up in his eyes. A gentleman is ready to die for his bosom friend. I, Yang Hong, will be the marquisâs lackey in the future. If the marquis ask me to head west, I will absolutely not head east! âDivine Constable Yang, keep the Mo Mei Sword well. If anyone dares to lay their hands on your sword, tell me, and Iâll stand up for you,â Zhou Shu continued.
âMarquis!â Yang Hong immediately knelt on one knee, looking like he was offering his life.
âWell, now that you have a ranked weapon, I have something that I would like you to help me withâ¦â
âMarquis, please give me your orders. I will do whatever you ask of me!â
