Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Lu Chan took the Windcalling Sparrow away because she wanted to collect more Windcalling Sparrows.

Someone once made a promise to her...

No matter when, where, or what year.

She will descend when the wind rises.

Zijing Academy: Chapter 15: Duo Queueing for Ranking Up

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Inside the forging room, a girl with long white hair sat upright on the ground with her eyes closed, a silver longsword burning with cyan mist flames resting on her lap.

The scabbard adds a touch of beauty to the Storm Sword, making it look nothing like a low-grade spiritual weapon.

A wisp of spiritual energy emanated from within the Storm Sword, flowing into Lu Chan's body like a stream. Soon after, pure white streams of energy appeared on her body.

Sensing the almost tangible spiritual energy, Lu Chan slowly opened his pale purple eyes and murmured, "Did you break through?"

"It was even faster than I expected."

She gripped her sword and stood up.

After a frenzied hunt, due to the significant increase in the Storm Sword's spiritual energy limit, he finally transformed from a low-level weapon refiner into a mid-level weapon refiner.

The mark of becoming a mid-level weapon refiner is the ability to share spiritual energy with spiritual weapons.

It can be used to protect the body with spiritual energy, and it can also be used to enhance one's strength and speed.

However, if the natal spirit weapon is a high-grade weapon refiner, the spiritual energy provided by the spirit weapon as soon as they awaken is enough for them to directly step into the intermediate level of weapon refiner, and they will even get a much faster start than others.

Thinking about this, Lu Chan felt a little emotional.

After all, her natal spiritual weapon in her previous life was a Primordial Emperor weapon that surpassed even the Super Grade. In fact, it was another matter whether there was even a Primordial Emperor weapon in the entire Northern Sacred Continent.

In any case, this life can only be lived again.

Lu Chan walked out of the refining room.

After returning from the open-air training base yesterday, she immediately placed the Windcalling Sparrow she brought back at a spirit artifact foster home, where the staff took care of feeding it.

Lu Chan had already inquired and found out that the Wind-Calling Sparrows of the Northern Sacred Continent were gathered in a Spirit Forbidden Zone that was far from Beilan City. Since there was no teleportation array from Beilan City to that Spirit Forbidden Zone, she had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Now that I've broken through to the intermediate-level weapon refiner, I can contract a second spiritual weapon."

"What kind of magical weapon would be best?"

Just as Lu Chan was deep in thought.

A spirited voice came from the side: "Hey!"

A petite girl in the Zijing Academy uniform, with her hair styled in a fiery red, updo, leaned against the wall. Seeing Lu Chan emerge from the refining room, she clasped her hands and said, "It's Junior Lu Chan! Long time no see! I searched for ages before finding out you're always here."

"Xu Rong?"

Lu Chan recalled her name for a moment, then tilted her head and asked indifferently, "Have you already found out my name...? What, are you here to ask me for that Wind-Calling Sparrow?"

"Forehead……"

"No, no, of course not, we gave up a long time ago," Xu Rong said after a moment of hesitation.

"I just personally admire your skills and would like you to help me rank up. I've heard from others that you often spend time in the virtual battle zone and play for days at a time. You must have a lot of knowledge about combat, right?"

"Take ten clean wins with me, and consider it payment for the Wind-Summoning Sparrow, how about it?"

"Admire my strength?" Lu Chan rolled his pale purple eyes and gave her a subtle glare. This girl... she really is a troublesome thing.

After a moment of silence, before Xu Rong could respond, Lu Chan turned around, tossing his long, snow-white hair, and said softly, "Alright, since you insist on having me take you, let's play a few rounds together. But let me make this clear beforehand: my magical weapon is just a low-grade Storm Sword. Don't blame me if I accidentally trick you later."

Xu Rong nodded happily: "I understand."

As soon as the three of them returned to the academy, they immediately found out about Lu Chan and her magical weapon, the Storm Sword.

However... besides the Storm Sword, she must have other secrets, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to forcibly take the Windcalling Sparrow from those people that day.

It can't be just a bluff, can it?

Xu Rong believed that she was not so easily deceived.

Therefore, she refused to believe that she couldn't find out Lu Chan's true strength by personally going out to test him this time.

"If she's really that strong, I have to get her into the team no matter what," Xu Rong thought to herself.

So, with ulterior motives in mind, the two of them arrived at the virtual battle area one after the other.

Before going online, Xu Rong said, "Junior Lu Chan, let's play duo queue mode, just for fun and to climb the ranks, what do you say?"

Improve your score?

I think you want to visit a grave, don't you?

Hearing this, Lu Chan sneered inwardly: "Whatever, but... I should warn you beforehand that I'm quite addicted to the internet; I won't log off until I've played at least twenty games."

“Just what I wanted”

Duo mode is even less popular than 1v1 single-player mode, because most players use it to carry others, rack up points, or are weapon refiners trying to pick up girls. Due to the mixed quality and huge skill differences, it is basically not effective for training or ranking up.

Based on Lu Chan's recent experience, there are only two possibilities for wasting time playing duo mode.

The first possibility is incomplete brain development.

The second type is where the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped.

After giving her ID, Xu Rong requested to add Lu Chan as a friend, but... when Xu Rong invited "First Storm Sword" to team up, a prompt suddenly popped up on the electronic screen.

[The first player with the Storm Sword has a very low win rate and has been reported too many times by other players. Are you sure you want to team up with this player?]

Xu Rong blinked her big eyes, looking completely bewildered.

What the heck? What's going on here?

What does it mean if someone is reported too many times?

What exactly did Lu Chan do to warrant such a report?

Of course, Xu Rong was unaware of Lu Chan's strange tactic of force-quitting during team fights, and this was the first time she had received such a notification. However, she didn't think much of it and hurriedly clicked "OK".

At the same time, Lu Chan also checked Xu Rong's battle record. Her win rate in 1v1 with a single spirit weapon was as high as 90%, and her rank was already very high.

With a 5V5 team win rate of over 70%, it can be said that Xu Rong and her team are the hope for Zijingyuan to participate in the North Saint State League this year.

Matching

[Duo queue mode, match successful]

[Map: Closed Prison]

[Chief Refiner of Zijing Refining Academy, Spiritual Weapon: Crimson Refining Eight Directions, Top-Grade Fire Element; Hidden]

[First Storm Sword, Spirit Weapon: Storm Sword, Low-grade Wind Element]

Battle...

[Hello, I am your father. Spiritual Artifact: Demon's Smile, Superior Dark Attribute; Hidden]

[The most beautiful wind-elemental weapon refiner, her spiritual weapon: Gale Greatsword, mid-grade wind element]

After glancing at the information panel, Xu Rong's expression stiffened.

It was such a coincidence that I ran into such a powerful enemy, someone I knew.

She was the second-in-command at the Netherworld Weapon Forging Academy... no, she should have become the top student this year, right?

In the previous Northern Saint State League qualifiers, Zijingyuan lost to this guy.

Battle begins:

Lu Chan and Xu Rong appeared at the same time in a dark prison cell. There were two passages in front of them, each allowing one person to enter.

Xu Rong explained, "This is a special 2v2 map that uses a dual 1v1 mechanism. As long as you defeat your opponent first, you can help your teammates eliminate the enemy."

"Junior Sister Lu Chan, the opponent has a grudge against our Zijing Academy. We must win this battle."

Lu Chan chuckled lightly: "I see... Don't worry, I'll take care of the opponent quickly."

Zijing Academy: Chapter 16: Letting the Water Go

"what?"

"Oh, so you're the captain of the Bauhinia Weapon Forging Academy. What, are you here with a friend today too?"

Room entrance:

A cold, aloof girl with long, flowing black hair covered her mouth and chuckled softly as she emerged from the shadows.

What she carried behind her with one hand was an extremely grotesque, jet-black scythe. The curve of the scythe resembled the open mouth of a wild beast, which was utterly terrifying.

She sighed softly, "Well, I recently met a pretty young lady, and I'd be really embarrassed if I accidentally lost to you."

Wow! ! !

As she finished speaking, an evil purple aura gradually enveloped the girl's entire body, and ripples spread in all directions like a deep abyss vortex.

At the same time, Xu Rong tilted the fiery red spear in his hand towards the ground, bursting out a dazzling burst of fire. With the eight red tassels dancing in the air, the intense flames burned the ground within several meters around into scorched earth.

Xu Rong retorted, "You don't really think you're stronger than me in a 1v1, do you?"

Xu Rong wasn't in a hurry at all. With Lu Chan's hidden strength, he should be able to come to her aid soon.

This 2v2 match is the perfect opportunity to redeem myself.

Thinking of this, Xu Rong added, "Also, don't misunderstand, I'm not here to mentor anyone today. My teammate is very strong, and I might even need her to mentor me."

"Strong?"

"The low-grade spiritual weapon, the Storm Sword?"

"The First Storm Sword?"

The black-haired woman couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, you're really kidding me!"

To be honest, aside from being somewhat cold and aloof, she was quite beautiful. However, her laughter was rather mean and vicious, giving off a kind of beauty that suggested someone had died in the womb.

But just then, as the girl was laughing wildly, the closed prison gate beside her slowly opened.

"Huh?" The black-haired girl's face stiffened, and she looked at the entrance of the room with an ugly expression. The battle ended so quickly?

Even if your teammates aren't strong, they shouldn't be taken down in just a few seconds, right?

This hasn't even started yet!

Unexpectedly, the person who came in from next door wasn't Xu Rong's teammate, but a girl with short gray hair. She glanced at the two of them and said in surprise, "Captain, I won! My opponent was too weak!"

"..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xu Rong's expression gradually darkened, and a faint blush of extreme embarrassment lingered on her face.

Upon seeing this, the black-haired girl immediately burst into laughter: "Captain Xu Rong, that joke you just told was really lame, hahaha!"

After a few minutes, the battle was over.

"Damn it!!!" Xu Rong stared at the virtual screen, her face turning pale and then red with rage. She almost punched the device to pieces.

Youfu Courtyard was originally a wealthy family.

The chief's strength was in no way inferior to her own, and with interference from others, she was quickly defeated.

What's more, her opponent was that gossipy person, and her crazy taunts before the battle ended infuriated Xu Rong, who almost fainted from anger and had a heart attack.

Something's not right. How could Junior Sister Lu Chan lose so quickly?

Before Xu Rong could even question him, Lu Chan apologized, "I'm sorry, my opponent's Gale Greatsword is actually an upgraded version of the Storm Sword. I was completely suppressed the whole time and had no chance of winning at all."

"I've found my rhythm, next game, next game..."

"Speaking of which, the other person is supposed to be the number one beauty of the wind element, but she's not that pretty. This must be Ugly Betty Dopxin."

Lu Chan muttered to himself as he opened the matchmaking page for the next game.
