Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 33: The Craving for Splitting Returns
"Hey hey! I'm full!"

Lin Nuo let out a burp and lay down under the shade of a tree with Jing Hongchen without any regard for appearances.

The two of them ate most of the meat from the several-hundred-kilogram Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with Lin Nuo even eating more than Jing Hongchen, a Title Douluo.

Apart from the discarded internal organs and other waste, everything else was deliberately kept.

For example, bear paws require careful cooking to achieve the best flavor; bear bile can be combined with other medicinal herbs to make medicine; and pork ribs and leg bones can be used to make soup.

We have to bring some back so that Lao Xiao and Xiao Meng can try it too.

If I should not speak, the sparrow will eat the red feathers.

If the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bears weren't so powerful, their delicious protein alone would probably have driven them to the brink of extinction.

In short, encountering the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was an unexpected delight, and the gains were substantial. After a short rest, Lin Nuo set off again, engaging in battles with the soul beasts he encountered from time to time.

Although he joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and was at the fourth level of Soul Master, he actually preferred the combat style of a Soul Master.

Soul tools are rarely used.

Even if a weapon is used, it is a longsword made by permanently strengthening it with Blue Silver Grass.

Upon closer inspection, the prisoner realized that this would not work. The prisoner clearly had a lot of ideas and a natural advantage in developing soul tools, but how could they not use soul tools?
I still haven't experienced the true charm of soul tools.

Of course, it's also possible that Lin Nuo's Soul Master level was too low.

To be fair, Lin Nuo's talent for soul tools is actually quite good. He started learning at the age of nine and has now reached level four in five years at the age of fourteen. He has even developed a soul tool sniper rifle, a creation that amazed Jing Hongchen.

There was nothing he could do; compared to his talent as a Soul Master, Lin Nuo's talent as a Soul Spirit Master was clearly much stronger.

His unique constitution, which allows him to take medicine, enables his soul power level to increase rapidly. This means that even though his talent in soul tools is already considered excellent, it still cannot keep up with his level.

For him, who was about to break through to the Soul Emperor realm, a level four soul tool could only provide a negligible amount of assistance.

It's not even as handy as the weapon he created himself using his soul skill.

Watching Lin Nuo fight time and time again, Jing Hongchen fell into deep thought.

After yet another battle, Lin Nuo casually tossed aside the umpteenth broken blue-silver longsword in his hand, rubbed his sore wrists, and the wounds on his body from the battle were rapidly healing under the effect of his strong vitality.

Blue Silver Grass is still too weak.

Lin Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

Jing Hongchen was right. A big reason why he didn't use soul tools was that he couldn't keep up with him. In addition, his level was increasing too fast. By the time he finally got a complete set of soul tools, they might be obsolete by next year.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the black and white greatsword that Jing Hongchen handed over.

"This is...?" Lin Nuo looked up at Jing Hongchen in surprise.

The latter smiled and planted the nearly two-meter-long giant sword into the ground. The sharp blade encountered no resistance and sank deep into the soil.

"This sword is called Judgment. It is my grandfather's masterpiece. In the field of level eight close-range soul tools, if I say this sword is second, no one dares to claim to be first!" Jing Hongchen stroked his beard with considerable pride.

If not for the limitations imposed by the material's strength, it would be fully qualified to be a level nine close-range soul tool. Furthermore, the sword's enchantment effects are extremely extravagant, using a core magic circle to induce a transformation between the elements of light and darkness, thus achieving attribute advantage and giving the wielder a natural edge.

The effects of the Sword of Judgment are not limited to the 'Judgment of Light' used by Ma Rulong in the original work, but also include a move called 'Dark Judgment'.

A judgment of light determines that the other party is darkness and judges them with the power of light, while a judgment of darkness is the opposite, but the effect is the same.

Most abstractly, this sword's definition of darkness is not just about power, but also about the spirit, leading Ma Xiaotao to believe she is a dark heretic being judged, which directly causes her to fall into becoming the Black Phoenix.

Ok……

To be honest, this sword is a natural counter to Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, the master and apprentice.

Lin Nuo couldn't even imagine how spectacular the scene would be if Jing Hongchen used Dark Judgment on Yan Shaozhe.

The foreshadowing is laid here. Now that the sword is in Lin Nuo's hands, in order to satisfy his curiosity, he will definitely strike Yan Shaozhe twice in the future to see the effect. Moreover, his curiosity will grow stronger as his strength increases.

It's commonly known as having a craving for spicy snacks.

After introducing the information about the Sword of Judgment, Jing Hongchen smiled and gestured to Lin Nuo, "Grandpa will give you this sword. As my grandson, Jing Hongchen, it would be unreasonable for you not to even use a soul tool."

"Your sixth spirit ring will be able to absorb a spirit ring of about 80,000 years. After you break through, using this sword will probably not be too much of a burden, and you can fully exert its power. Giving it to you will not be a waste of its potential."

Hey, isn't that just a coincidence?

Lin Nuo originally planned to ask Jing Hongchen for the sword after breaking through to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor, but before he could even speak, Jing Hongchen offered it to him.

So what's there to hesitate about?
Lin Nuo chuckled and pulled the Sword of Judgment from the ground.

The hilt is about 45 centimeters long, the blade is about 1.5 meters long, and when it stands upright, if you don't count the tuft of hair on his head, it's even taller than Lin Nuo. The blade is also about the width of a palm, making it a true giant sword.

Its black and white blade is covered with a large number of futuristic patterns, giving Lin Nuo the feeling that holding it would make him a cyberpunk swordsman.

"What a fine sword!" Lin Nuo's eyes lit up. He twirled the greatsword with both hands, then slashed horizontally at the trees not far away.

A dazzling golden sword aura swept past in the blink of an eye, cleaving a tree that would take two people to encircle in half.

A casual sword strike possesses such power, and it didn't even consume too much of Lin Nuo's soul power. With the Sword of Judgment in hand, Lin Nuo will completely escape the embarrassing situation of 'having no offensive capabilities'!

"It just so happens that you gave the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone to Xiao, so this sword can also compensate for your combat ability to some extent," Jing Hongchen said.

He was still thinking about this matter, and he had the same thought as Lin Nuo.

“I do need this sword, so I’ll accept it. Thank you, Grandpa Mirror.” Lin Nuo shouldered the greatsword, showing no intention of storing it in his soul tool.

Just like a child who has received a new toy, they want to hold it while sleeping and can't put it down.

"Now that we've got a new toy, let's test its power!"

After meditating and resting for a while to replenish his soul power, Lin Nuo set off again.
