Chapter 28 Xiao Yan's Special Weapon
As the Earthly Chains shimmered in Zhongli's hand, he leisurely extended his arm. Instantly, a black-gold heavy sword, inlaid with crimson veins and emitting a heavy, majestic aura, hovered quietly before Zhongli's palm, as if lifted by an invisible hand.

"Wow! This sword is much cooler than the Xuan Zhong Chi!" Xiao Yan couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't wait to reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword.

"Ah, alas, alas!" As Zhongli slowly reduced his strength, only a dull "bang" was heard. Xiao Yan lost his grip and fell straight to the ground.

Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground, could see the blade of Zhongli's sword more clearly at this time.

"Master, this is not a sword at all! It's clearly another ruler!" Xiao Yan complained as he stood up and picked up the big sword again with force.

"How could that be? You might as well try to inject fighting spirit into this big sword." Zhongli took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Oh? Then I'll try." Xiao Yan held the hilt of the sword tightly and slowly closed his eyes.

Fiery red fighting spirit continuously emanated from his hands. The next second, it felt as if gilded metal was flowing across the black iron handle, slowly flowing along the dense rock patterns of the black gold giant blade.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson-gold light emanated from the cracks on the rough sword spine. A second later, under the influence of Xiao Yan's fighting spirit, the originally heavy double-edged sword suddenly transformed into two sharp, red, transparent blades.

Seeing the original big golden ruler instantly transformed into a sharp sword, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked about the magic of this sword.

"This sword is called the 'Sword of the Unforged'. I stumbled upon it in an ancient ruin. It can effortlessly switch between blunt and sharp forms, depending on the user's will. Even more miraculous, it can continuously absorb excess heat from the surrounding environment, converting it into Dou Qi, which is stored within the blade, allowing the user to gain additional Dou Qi during battle."

Xiao Yan was slightly startled when he heard Zhongli describe the miraculous effects of the Unrefined Sword. A flash of inspiration seemed to strike his mind, and he asked, "Master, if that's the case, then this Unrefined Sword can store a large amount of Dou Qi for those with Fire and Thunder attribute Dou Qi that can emit heat?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, saying slowly, "That's not a bad understanding. Therefore, it suits you quite well and is an excellent choice as your signature weapon."

Xiao Yan was once again filled with admiration at the magical effects of the Wugong Sword. Then, a look of astonishment appeared on his face as he pressed on, "Master! If I were to engage in combat in the desert, wouldn't my Dou Qi be endless and never-ending?"

"Well... theoretically, that's possible. However, in reality, the Wugong Sword's conversion efficiency is far from as extraordinary as you might imagine. Even in a desert environment, it only slightly increases the conversion volume; its efficiency remains unchanged. Furthermore, on the battlefield, most situations change rapidly, and every second counts. Therefore, in such a short period of time, it can only replenish your Dou Qi once at most."

For some reason, after Yao Chen fully heard the effect of the Wugong Sword, he always felt a faint sense of sadness in the deepest part of his heart, thinking that "my life is over"?
"Wow, great! I have a special weapon! I have a special weapon!" Xiao Yan joyfully brandished the blade in his hand. The blade still bore the marks of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi sharpening. With his seemingly casual swing, an extremely sharp sword energy instantly burst out from the inner core of the Wugong Sword.

"Oh my god!" Yao Chen screamed in shock.

In an instant, the three pieces of green bamboo behind Zhongli fell down in unison, leaving behind only three mirror-smooth cuts level with Zhongli's Adam's apple.

"Hmm?" Following Yao Chen's exclamation, Xiao Yan's gaze focused on Zhongli again.

"Oh my god! Master, are you okay?!"

Xiao Yan hurried forward and carefully checked Zhongli's neck for any injuries. Zhongli then produced a cup of tea out of thin air, a smile on his face as he jokingly said, "Haha, what are you afraid of? Even if your head falls off, it's just a scar the size of a bowl."

"Ha... huh..." Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in surprise and joy, "Master, I'm glad you're okay. I was too reckless. I'm glad I didn't hurt you."

Xiao Yan felt relieved, but still a little skeptical. He then extended his finger and gently touched Zhongli's Adam's apple, which was rising and falling. He tapped it twice and it felt soft and moved.

After thoroughly confirming that Zhongli was unharmed, Xiao Yan straightened up with complete confidence, his hands on his hips. However, he could clearly sense that there was something strange in the gazes of his two masters.

Yao Chen's eyes revealed a sense of helplessness and sadness at having to accept the cruel reality of his useless son. He slowly asked, "Um... Xiao Yan, do you... not like girls very much?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly became emotional: "Master, I'm warning you not to talk nonsense! Don't slander me! Don't slander me! There is absolutely nothing wrong with my sexual orientation!"

"Oh? Really?" Yao Chen's face gradually became stained with an obscene look.

"It's absolutely true! Of course it's true!" Xiao Yan was so angry that his face turned red and he was very emotional.

"Then tell me, which woman are you in love with?" Yao Chen's expression became more and more frivolous.

"What does it have to do with you which girl I like? You're such a lecherous old man, so indecent." Xiao Yan was a little displeased, and then he gently waved the Wugong Sword in his hand.

Since Xiao Yan had already restrained his Dou Qi and was only swinging casually, the Wugong Sword now looked like an ordinary weapon. The blade slashed across Yao Chen's figure, and his body, which had originally been as ethereal as smoke, dissipated for a moment before recondensing into its original form.

However, in Yao Chen's opinion, this scene brought a great shock: "Damn! This kid really has a rebellious nature!"

For some reason, the feeling of "my life is over" in Yao Chen's heart is deepening.

"Alright, alright." Zhongli drank the tea in his hand in one gulp and said slowly, "I made another important discovery during this trip."

"What discovery?" the two asked curiously. After all, things that made Zhongli say "significant" were usually not trivial.

"A clue about a strange fire." Zhongli said slowly.

However, this explosive news made Yao Chen, who was originally a little exhausted, instantly excited!
