Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

With three people, Li Ming rested for only half a day before preparing to leave Li Island (now called Chiyuan Island) after confirming that Qin Suyi was alright.

Li Ming took the Xuanyuan Sword, which originally belonged to Chiyuan Island, as payment.

After all, if the sword test is not completed, Cheng Ling Shuang will definitely not have a chance to pass the test of the Crimson Kite Immortal.

After losing the Three-Foot Green Blade, Cheng Ling Shuang no longer had a decent weapon.

That's so pitiful, but Su Mei remembered that her martial uncle didn't seem to have asked her junior sister Cheng for that strange knife.

Yes, even if Cheng Ling Shuang walked up to Li Ming carrying the [Crystal Reverse Blade] and swaggered around.

Li Ming didn't care, or rather, he didn't think that the [Crystallized Reverse Blade] would be of much benefit to Cheng Ling Shuang.

After all, the Taixu Sword Manual is still a sword technique, not a knife technique.

In Li Ming's view, not having a good sword would significantly reduce his attack power.

In Li Ming's opinion, if Cheng Ling Shuang had a sword in her hand at the time, he wouldn't have needed to take action.

The difference between having two lives and having only one life is still significant.

However, Li Ming only temporarily handed over the Xuanyuan Sword to Cheng Ling Shuang, rather than giving it to her entirely.

After all, Soul Steel is already quite hard before it undergoes any changes.

Despite having "steel" in its name, Soul Steel is actually quite lacking compared to many other technologies when facing a variety of bizarre Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors.

Compared to the tough hides of the Honkai Beasts and the bizarre weapons of the assassins, pure Soul Steel is rather fragile.

In fact, many of the weapons from Destiny were developed from Soul Steel technology. You should know that the Bishop is right there, and his research on Soul Steel technology has been the longest, the most in-depth, and the most clearly recorded.

When Li Ming was at the Saint 7308 Research Institute, most of the people researched weapons, which were Soul Steel weapons.

Both the Throne of Gods and the Relic series are made of Soul Steel, which is why the appearance of the Sunfire Greatsword and Honkai weapons is so highly valued.

Although the Sunfire Greatsword is not as powerful as many exclusive weapons, it still holds special significance, which has given many research institutes new ideas.

Since many facilities and equipment could only be made of Soul Steel, many alternatives have emerged.

The weapons used by the Valkyries, especially those on the front lines, are very difficult to maintain.

When alternatives are available, research on brittle materials like Soul Steel will naturally decrease.

"...Uncle-Master." Before Cheng Ling Shuang could finish speaking, Li Ming, dressed in the [Ice Yama? Other Shore] outfit, didn't even turn his head, but simply shook his head. "Don't even think about it. Until you can truly master the Xuanyuan Sword like your senior sister, I will never hand it over to you."

They went to the island the same way they came, but when they returned, there were four of them instead of three.

Li Ming's words instantly silenced Cheng Ling Shuang, who was carrying the Xuanyuan Sword and the Crystal Reverse Blade.

She stomped her foot angrily, and the not-so-hard ice beneath her feet shattered instantly.

This made Su Mei, who was following behind, chuckle and brush past her from behind, "Hehe, didn't Junior Sister Cheng say before that breaking through to the Sword Heart was just around the corner?"

After the dragon was dealt with, Su Mei felt much more relaxed and regained her seemingly composed yet somewhat playful demeanor.

Su Mei's words also made Cheng Ling Shuang somewhat annoyed, "Senior Sister Su..."

Seeing her senior sister teasing her, Cheng Ling Shuang didn't know what to say.

Li Ming simply warned from the front, "The sea is rough. If you break the ice, you'll go back soaking wet."

"Hmph!" Cheng Ling Shuang said that she would not be so stupid. Her face was expressionless, but she walked silently at the back, crushing the ice under her feet with each step. It was clear that Cheng Ling Shuang was not as calm as her face.

"Before you comprehend the Mind, you should just be a good sword-wielding attendant."

Li Ming's words made Cheng Ling Shuang really want to draw her sword and stab a few holes in her uncle's back.

Let my martial uncle see what it means to be utterly chilled, the kind of chilling that's absolutely unbearable.

However, after much deliberation, Cheng Ling Shuang abandoned her idea and put away her sword, since she still needed to cross the sea.

Once I'm ashore, I'll show my martial uncle how I broke through to enlightenment.

On Mount Taixu, Li Ming sat cross-legged in the main hall, wearing the [Candlelight Attire - First Light]. After resolving the matter on Li Island, the [Fire Envoy - Zhenkun] was placed on the bridge for repair.

During this period, Li Ming wisely chose not to leave the Taixu Mountain Open World; otherwise, he would have been facing Ai Yi's nagging the moment he went up there.

After all, even changing his armor required dealing with Ai's nagging, and he could almost hear Ai's nagging in his mind.

Therefore, after switching to the [Candlelight Attire - First Light], Li Ming simply kept track of the repair status of the [Fire Envoy - Zhenkun] every day, and left the open world as soon as it was repaired.

"So, Ling Shuang failed in this sword test?"

Immortal Chi Yuan sat in the main seat and looked at Li Ming, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall. Normally, Li Ming should have been sitting next to him, but Li Ming sat in the middle of the hall as soon as he arrived, not caring about his reputation at all.

This made Immortal Chiyuan glance at the seat next to her; the tea was still steaming.

But Li Ming had no self-awareness at all and was still sitting on the ground.

Helpless, he could only let Chaoyu go out first, after all, his martial uncle still needed some authority.

Unexpectedly, Li Ming led Ling Shuang and Su Mei down the mountain to slay the demon. Although they killed a ferocious and troublesome dragon.

However, this deprived Cheng Ling Shuang of the opportunity to gain experience. Nevertheless, she felt that Cheng Ling Shuang's progress was still remarkable, and compared to the others who were still on the mountain, her progress was incredibly rapid.

Her moves were just as fierce as those of Chao Yu and Su Mei.

If her sword heart doesn't break through, Cheng Ling Shuang will eventually fall into demonic possession due to the instability of her sword heart.

This is something that Immortal Chi Yuan does not want to see.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming simply stood up, stretched, and noted that the repair of [Li Huo Shi? Zhen Kun] had reached 89%, while [Bing Yan Luo? Bi An] had reached 99%. With the help of some fluid alloy blocks, he should be able to log off tomorrow. He then sat down to the side and drank the tea like a cow, swallowing it whole and refining it instantly, without tasting any flavor.

However, after chewing for a while, he still said, "Ling Shuang has already broken through to the Mingxin stage, so she can be considered to have successfully tested her sword."

As he spoke of this, Li Ming chewed on the tea leaves in his mouth, as if he harbored some deep-seated hatred.

This left Immortal Chiyuan feeling helpless, as if Li Ming was truly hopeless, and she felt a lump in her throat, wanting to vomit.

"Anyway, Cheng Ling Shuang broke through after leaving Chi Yuan Island, so we can officially arrange to bestow the Ling Shuang Xuan Yuan Sword tomorrow, which will coincide with Su Yi's apprenticeship banquet."

After saying that, Li Ming quickly ran out. Why wait? He would have to ask me for clarification later. Didn't he have any pride?
