Chapter 251: The Garbage Tier Low-Grade Weapon

Chapter 251: The Garbage Tier Low-Grade Weapon

In the building beside the plaza, Ji Wenlong was collecting his winnings from the other four with a serious expression on his face.

Chang Huaiwu passed an empty rank three talisman paper over to Ji Wenlong while sighing, “Are our juniors really so terrifying now? Man and spear as one, he managed to make huge progress towards comprehending a martial intent at the Martial Intent Realm. Are you sure he only entered the Martial Intent Realm a while ago?”

The corners of Ji Wenlong’s lips curled upwards as a wide grin slowly formed. “The newer generation will have to replace us one day. I can’t wait for the day those little brats manage to defeat us. Why are you so worked up about it?”

Shaking his head, Chang Huaiwu revealed a bitter smile.

Ji Wenlong continued after seeing his reaction, “Those below might not know how the kid won, but we do. If he didn’t pull out such dirty tricks during the last few seconds, he would have been kicked out by the three of them.”

An Baimei added at the side, “No matter what, the rules didn’t say that he can’t use multiple weapons, right. After his display of strength, Brother Ji, you’ll definitely be rushing to shower him with rewards, am I right?”

“Rewards? What the hell can I reward him with?! That little brat has more graded weapons than me! Do you think he lacks anything right now?” A helpless smile appeared on Ji Wenlong’s face.

An Baimei continued, “Hah, don’t act like you’re blind over here. Can’t you see that his spear is about to shatter?”

“The little kid’s inner qi is too strange. Half the reason his weapon is about to be destroyed came from him!” Ji Wenlong explained. “Moreover, our patriarch had already heard of his name. Even if we wish to reward him, I won’t have anything to do with it. The patriarch can do as he sees fit.”

A trace of light flashed across Yu Chengjin’s face. “Is Patriarch Kou planning to pull the kid over to his side?”

“Maybe?” Chuckling slightly, Ji Wenlong shifted the attention to the wagers they made. He stretched his hand out and his gentlemanly appearance was nowhere to be seen. “Little Han, hand over the piece of Heart Jadeite.”

Reluctantly tossing it over, Han Chongwei grumbled, “Patriarch Kou has always been biased towards the Shang Clan. Shang Ke managed to enter the Martial Extermination Realm so quickly. Not to mention the fact that Shang Bo had already broken through to the fourth layer Martial Extermination Realm… If Patriarch Kou really chooses to nurture the kid, won’t the Shang Clan tower over everyone else?”

The chuckle that left Ji Wenlong’s lips turned weird and he didn’t bother with Han Chongwei any longer. He turned to Wei Zhongwen. “Old Man Wei, don’t think that I forgot about you. Hand it over.”

…

Shang Xia remained seated in his unsightly manor under the eyes of everyone present.

Even though the protection barrier had already scattered and the plaza had returned to normal, Shang Xia wasn’t bothered by the gazes he was getting.

In fact, no one would dare to laugh at him because of his weird appearance. Instead, their eyes were filled with worship and respect when they looked at him.

Even Dou Zhong, who didn’t like Shang Xia and even had some enmity with him, couldn’t help but admit Shang Xia managed to regain the reputation of the Tongyou Institution with the battle that just passed.

Unbothered with anything else, Shang Xia’s attention was on his dantian and the huge amount of Origin True Qi that had just transformed.

Deep down, he knew that he only won because his remnant qi transformed into Origin True Qi at the critical moment. Otherwise, he would have exhausted himself and retired from the battle.

Taking a closer look now that the battle was over, Shang Xia was surprised to see that close to half of his Yin Yang Essence Qi had completed its transformation.

As his Origin True Qi slowly started to recover, Shang Xia discovered that it nearly doubled. However, he also discovered that transforming more of his Yin Yang Essence Qi became more difficult.

Only if he experienced an improvement in his spear art would he be able to complete a higher level of conversion of his qi.

At the same time, the urge to sink his entire consciousness into his dantian filled his mind. He wasn’t foreign to the feeling as he felt it once during his breakthrough. He also knew that it was the sign that his divine sense was about to reach new heights.

He was clearly taken aback by the sudden changes. He had barely broken through to the Martial Intent Realm. However, the signs of breakthrough came again, and it signified that he had already reached the requirements to enter the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm.

That was where the problem was. According to the rules of cultivation, a Martial Intent Realm cultivator who was about to break into the large completion stage would have completed more than 80 percent conversion of their remnant inner qi from the Martial Extremity Realm. Currently, Shang Xia had only converted close to half of his inner qi.

“This might have something to do with the properties of my Yin Yang Essence Qi… It’s the only explanation.” Shang Xia sighed softly as he got to his feet slowly. He recovered some energy after sitting there for some time, and when he pulled the spear out of the ground, he saw several chips in the tip. His expression sank instantly.

The Waning Moon Spear wasn’t the only weapon that was damaged. The other graded weapons on him had also suffered varying degrees of damage.

The silver staff he obtained from Yuwen Changtian back in the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World was shattered into countless pieces that scattered around the battlefield. It was close to a graded weapon, but it was still somewhat lacking. It failed to withstand Shang Xia’s Origin True Qi. At the very last second, he threw out every single weapon he had towards the three of them after filling them with his Origin True Qi.

Along with his final move, Flashing Meteor, he defeated Song Yushu, Ma Jianfan, and Tan Xinya. The three elite disciples from their respective institutions were suppressed just like that and Shang Xia felt a trace of smugness filling his heart.

Before falling to his butt earlier, he retrieved all the weapons while the flashes of lightning obstructed the view of the disciples outside. Naturally, his little actions couldn’t be hidden from Ji Wenlong and the rest. Even so, the situation was exactly as they had said. The rules didn’t forbid him from using multiple weapons.

“Waning Moon Spear… Damn it! This low-grade weapon was just completed by Master Duan Hong. Now, it’s close to being destroyed!” Shang Xia howled in his heart after the joy of defeating the others died down. That was a low-grade weapon they were talking about. However, it was about to be scrapped after enduring the battle he just went through.

Shang Xia’s initial thought was that Duan Hong made a mistake when converting the Waning Moon Halberd to the Waning Moon Spear. However, that didn’t really make sense. Shang Xia wasn’t a noob. When he received the spear from Duan Hong and his apprentices the other day, he could tell that the spear was somewhat in an acceptable condition.

It was still a low-grade weapon at the end of the day, but seeing as it couldn’t withstand his qi like the rest of his weapons, he came to a serious conclusion. Despite being a graded weapon, the Waning Moon Spear could be considered a garbage tier low-grade weapon!
