Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1132 Spirit Sword
A burst of colorful light appeared, and the phantom of a long sword appeared on the white paper. The next second, the phantom of a scabbard appeared next to the phantom of the long sword.

As time passed, the phantom images of the longsword and its scabbard gradually solidified, and the crucial moment of materialization was approaching. Shi Jia touched the table, and the crystal was gone.

Shi Jia was startled, her face turning pale from excessive energy consumption. "Huang Yushan, lend me a crystal!"

"Huh?" Huang Yushan was taken aback, and quickly reached into his storage pouch, rummaging around until he pulled out four pieces of yellow crystal. Just as he was about to hand the crystals over, he saw a figure approach Shi Jia, who pulled out a handful of crystals and said, "Here!"

With the energy replenished, the longsword and scabbard burst forth with dazzling light, floating up from the drawing paper. Only one final step remained; the materialization was about to succeed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Jia picked up the paintbrush and signed his name on the scabbard and longsword. This was the final step in manifesting the spiritual artifact in this world, like the finishing touch on a painting.

Boom! A burst of light erupted, and a visible green wave of spiritual energy spread in all directions, a sign of the descent of a spiritual artifact.

You could also say that the magical artifact is greeting the world.

"Gulp~" Someone swallowed hard, and the quiet classroom erupted in thunderous applause. "It's a Green-Tier Spirit Sword!"

"My God, it really is a Green Tier! The Time God is too powerful!"

"That's right, he can already manifest a green-tier spiritual weapon in just the first year. By the time he graduates, he might be able to manifest a purple-tier one!"

"Hmph! Absolutely impossible! Do you think purple-tier items are as common as cabbages? You can't just conjure them up whenever you want!" someone retorted.

"Yeah, it was already incredibly impressive that he could manifest the Azure Rank when he graduated. Purple Rank? Hmph! You're dreaming!"

"Hmph, what's wrong with me thinking about it? You're really meddling!"

"What do you mean by that..."

What could I possibly mean?

……

Amidst the noise, Shi Jia snapped out of his daze, staring at the longsword and scabbard floating in the air, his heart pounding! He unconsciously swallowed hard—he had succeeded!

The spirit weapon has truly been successfully manifested!

Shi Jia knew that this was a real magical artifact, not one of the disposable items he had drawn before.

So this is what true manifestation is...

Shi Jia tried to suppress his turbulent emotions and reached out to touch the longsword and scabbard floating in the air. As if they were sentient, they fell into his hand automatically.

The icy touch and the immense energy hidden within the sword once again made Shi Jia feel dazed.

"God of Time, we should really call you God of Time now." Huang Yushan excitedly patted Shi Jia on the shoulder. The latter glared at him in pain.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice appeared, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Shi Jia, you have successfully materialized your spirit artifact!"

Shi Jia sheathed his longsword, looking at the stranger who had suddenly appeared, puzzled. The stranger's smile was warm but tinged with...ingratiation. He nodded, somewhat bewildered. "Hmm, hello."

"Excuse me, let me introduce myself first. My name is Liu Zhan, a key player in the Qinglan team, and also a spirit weapon master."

"Hello, I'm Shi Jia." Noticing that all the classmates and the teacher were looking at her, Shi Jia quickly said, "Did you need something? Sorry, can we talk later after I hand in my homework?"

“Of course, Junior Shi Jia, you go ahead with your work.” Liu Zhan gestured for him to go ahead.

"Hmm." Shi Jia walked to the podium under the eager yet complicated gazes of her classmates. "Teacher, these are my assessment results."

Dai Qing eagerly took the longsword, her eyes flashing with excitement. "At least a green-tier spirit sword! Not bad, it seems you've really put in the effort this semester." Actually, at first, Dai Qing wasn't too keen on this student who was minoring in multiple majors. After all, a person's energy is limited, and even with good talent, it's difficult to master so many majors at the same time.
Surprisingly, some people actually do it, and they rank first in every major.

Later, Dai Qing's attitude naturally changed, and she even wished she could get him to switch to the Spirit Weapon Master major. Unfortunately, his talent in the other subjects was equally impressive.

"Alright, get out of class dismissed," Dai Qing said with a smile. "This afternoon I will be conducting a spirit weapon test in the laboratory building. Students who don't have class are welcome to come and watch."

Testing the magical artifacts is, of course, for the purpose of grading the students' exams. Although academic credits are awarded, the specific performance of the magical artifacts will still affect the students' final grades.

Everyone responded enthusiastically upon hearing this, except for a few who wished they could stretch every second into two.

"Huang Yushan, thank you for lending me the crystal earlier. I'll be hunting in the Black Zone during my vacation, and I'll pay you back then." Shi Jia looked at Huang Yushan gratefully.

The latter quickly waved his hand, "No, I didn't borrow the crystals, he did." Huang Yushan pointed at Liu Zhan, "Don't you know how many crystals you used? A full twenty green crystals!"

"Luckily, Senior Liu was there, otherwise you would probably fail your course this year."

Shi Jia was somewhat taken aback. "Was it Senior Liu who took out the crystal?"

Liu Zhan nodded.

"Thank you very much, Senior Liu," Shi Jia said quickly. "But I might not be able to pay you back right now. Could you give me some time? I'll return the crystals to you after I go hunting in the Black Zone."

“There’s no rush with the crystals,” Liu Zhan said hastily. “Let me explain why I’m here.” He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the curious eyes and the perked-up ears.

"This isn't the place to talk. How about this, it's already noon, shall I invite junior Shi Jia to have lunch with me?"

Shi Jia nodded. The other party had just done her a great favor, so there was no need to refuse.

There are private rooms on the fourth floor of the school cafeteria, and Shi Jia and Liu Zhan are having dinner in one of them at this moment.

Once his physical hunger was satisfied, Liu Zhan then told Shi Jia about his purpose.

"Inviting me to join the Blue and Green Team? Why?" Shi Jia had already guessed what was going on when he said this.

"Naturally, it's because of my junior's strength," Liu Zhan said.

“A magical artifact, a magical technique, or a spirit cleanser!” Shi Jia guessed it was the latter.

“Spirit Purifiers!” Liu Zhan said, “Our previous Spirit Purifiers have already graduated this year, and this year’s academy competition will most likely be held in a secret realm filled with turbid energy.”

Shi Jia nodded. He had heard of the Academy Competition, a national competition that could also be considered a global one, given that the art world only has one country, the Land of Painting. Therefore, this competition was extremely prestigious.

"What were Jia's thoughts back then? Did he want to join our Qinglan?" Liu Zhan asked nervously, looking at Shi Jia.

Shi Jia suddenly realized that the person in front of her wasn't as smooth and adept at handling things as she had imagined. "What are the benefits of joining Qinglan?"

To be honest, he really wanted to participate in this college competition. It was an efficient way to understand the world.

"Huh? Benefits?" Liu Zhan was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever heard of someone joining the Qinglan team considering only the benefits. Was the glory of the Qinglan team not enough to attract people?
"Ahem, of course, as long as you join our Blue and Green Team, you will not only receive a green crystal and a bottle of spirit-nourishing potion every month, but we will also organize a monthly hunt in the Black Zone. You only need to hand over 30% of the hunt proceeds, and the rest is up to you to do with as you please."

Seeing the barely perceptible look of disdain in the other person's eyes, Liu Zhan quickly added, "Also, the team has its own coach, its own training ground, and can even read precious ancient books."

"A personal coach? A martial arts coach? Or an artist coach?"

"Um, yes, we have both."

"I will think about it."
