Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Seeing this, Xu Rong could only suppress her inner turmoil. She was determined to see how Lu Chan would lose!

【The battle begins】

This time, he was matched with a fairly standard and open forest terrain. Having observed it himself, Lu Chan couldn't possibly continue to hide, could he?

Xu Rong followed closely behind Lu Chan, and the two soon encountered each other.

The moment the two met, Lu Chan charged forward with her Storm Sword; of course, she had deliberately removed the Storm Sword's spirit forging before the battle began, so that Xu Rong wouldn't see it.

"Clang clang clang clang clang"

Lu Chan wildly swung his Storm Sword, engaging in combat with a weapon refiner wielding an Ice Sword. They exchanged more than ten blows in just a few seconds.

Sparks flew across the arena as the fighters displayed both agility and skill, their battle a fierce and evenly matched contest, a true clash of titans.

Seeing that Lu Chan was fighting his opponent with great skill, Xu Rong temporarily relaxed and also focused on dealing with his own opponent.

With a gentle flick of her spear, fiery red flames surged forth as she lunged at her opponent, skimming the ground.

Lu Chan glanced at Xu Rong out of the corner of her eye. A second later, she deliberately exposed a flaw and was immediately pierced by the oncoming ice sword. She rolled several meters on the ground before stopping.

[Defeat]

"What!?"

Xu Rong, who had just started fighting the opponent, immediately received a notification of defeat from her teammate.

She forced her opponent back with a single blow, revealing an incredulous look in her eyes.

Fortunately, this time the opponents were not too strong. Although Xu Rong was confused as she fought two opponents at once, she successfully killed both of them within twenty seconds.

Before the battle ended, the opponent even cursed Xu Rong, calling her a "brainless dog who uses a high-grade spiritual weapon."

"I made a mistake just now, I'm really sorry, I'll try to be more careful next time."

"Don't worry, Captain Xu Rong, I will definitely take you to the grave today."

----------

----------

About two hours later...

Xu Rong's fiery red eyes were somewhat dazed as she stared blankly at the 18-2 record on the screen, questioning her life to some extent.

The win rate remains very high.

But why do I always feel so tired after playing?

I've never had it this difficult before. However, when I duo queue with Lu Chan, I almost always have to face a situation where I'm fighting two opponents at the start of each game, which is incredibly frustrating.

She's such a jerk!

Could it be that he was reported by his teammates because he was too weak?

Was I really wrong that day? Was she just an ordinary weapon refiner?

Seeing Xu Rong in a daze, Lu Chan asked again, "So, are you going to continue?"

Hearing this, Xu Rong, snapping out of her daze, had a few beads of sweat on her face and said awkwardly, "Junior Sister Lu Chan, I have a dinner appointment with my teammates later, and it's already lunchtime."

"You can play by yourself for a while, I'm going to eat with them first!"

After speaking hastily, Xu Rong quickly turned off the virtual battle device, turned around, and ran away.

If she continued to play with Lu Chan, she felt it would be even more mentally taxing than training with the team.

"Oh, then I'll play by myself."

Lu Chan waved at Xu Rong with feigned indifference, then after a few seconds... she revealed a meaningful look: "This should have really screwed her over, right? Well, at least we're rid of one of those annoying guys."

"Let's play a few more rounds seriously."

Lu Chan opened the duo queue matchmaking again, this time matching with random players.

Having just watched so many of Xu Rong's difficult 1v2 battles, a brand new idea came to her mind.

Zijing Academy: Chapter 17: Lu Chan's Second Spiritual Weapon

"Are you crazy?! Why are you hiding?! This is a 2v2 game! Do you even know how to play?!"

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?!"

The team's voice chat revealed the teammates' complaints.

After his teammates were killed, Lu Chan calmly stepped out from behind cover and looked at his opponents with a blank expression.

Seeing this, the two of them simultaneously charged towards Lu Chan, each wielding their magical weapons. A few seconds later, as they drew closer and simultaneously unleashed their weapons...

With a clang, Lu Chan swiftly gripped the hilt of the Storm Sword, and while gathering his strength, unleashed Soul Suppression on the enemies behind him.

Then, cancel the charge.

Draw your sword and strike!

Wow!

A cyan sword light spun out from the side, and Lu Chan turned around and cleaved the first person in two with a horizontal slash.

Before the enemies behind him, who were being suppressed, could react, Lu Chan drew a cyan sword arc with his other hand and precisely severed the head of the second person.

Two consecutive slashes resulted in an instant kill.

As the azure sword aura dissipated, the team's voice chat fell completely silent.

The battle is over.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, her teammates finally realized what had happened. It turned out that the pro was practicing 1v2. No wonder she hid and betrayed her teammates in the first place.

"Hey pro, wanna add me as a friend and duo queue together?"

"Master, please approve?"

"Master? Can you stop acting all high and mighty?"

"I'll report you if you don't add me as a friend!"

Lu Chan first rejected the friend requests that the other party kept sending, then blocked the other party, and then logged out of the virtual battle space.

She stood up, stretched her tired body slightly, tossed her long, snow-white hair that reached her hips, and then stretched her arms and legs.

After she thoroughly humiliated Xu Rong today, she played over thirty more games alone, almost instantly killing two people in each game, using the same method.

First, he used his accumulated power to suppress the soul of one person. 8

Cancel the charged attack and use a normal sword draw slash to instantly kill the first enemy, then instantly kill the second.

This results in an astonishingly fast kill speed when facing two opponents; most of the time, the second enemy won't even realize how they died. 4

This is a brand-new combat technique that Lu Chan came up with after observing how difficult it was for Xu Rong to fight 1v2.

Lu Chan analyzed, "Indeed, this technique is quite practical, but interrupting the charging process consumes more spiritual energy than releasing it."

"I'm afraid it can only be used frequently in virtual battles for now?"

Interrupting the charging process consumes a large amount of spiritual energy and mental power, so Lu Chan would not consider using this move unless absolutely necessary.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong," Lu Chan took out his electronic device from his pocket and glanced at it.

After not paying attention to this thing for a few days, Lu Chan received even more messages from Liu Qian and absence notices from the Weapon Forging Academy; without hesitation, he directly blacklisted both Liu Qian's and the official accounts of the Zijing Weapon Forging Academy.

Lu Chan would never waste his time in a place like the Weapon Forging Academy unless there was something truly important to do.

Lu Chan had already mastered the knowledge taught at the Weapon Refining Academy decades ago.

Moreover, there are more important things to do right now.

She is now a mid-level weapon refiner... and can already contract a second spiritual weapon.

The second spiritual weapon is of paramount importance to all weapon refiners; in some ways, it is even more important than the natal spiritual weapon.

Generally speaking, if your natal spirit weapon is a melee spirit weapon, then your second secondary spirit weapon should most likely be a ranged attack type, or a defensive, mobile, or even autonomous type.

But this is only in theory.

In reality, most weapon refiners, considering their potential and future prospects, will not quickly contract a second spiritual weapon after breaking through to the intermediate level.

This is because most novice weapon refiners have already devoted all their energy and resources to mastering a single magical weapon.

There are countless examples of people who, when using two magical weapons simultaneously, become too preoccupied to control them at the same time, and instead become weaker.

Many weapon refiners also contracted a second weapon only to find that it was not suitable for them, leading to their breakdown.

Fortunately, Lu Chan had already decided what type of spiritual weapon he wanted to choose.

In my past life, the magical weapon I was most skilled at using was not a sword.

As Lu Chan pondered, he walked into the Spirit Embryo area of ​​the Spirit Artifact Building. It was already late at night, but there were still quite a few people scattered around the building, which was brightly lit.

In addition to shops, many restaurants are also open for business.

The Spirit Weapon Building in most cities is probably as bustling as this, after all, it's where the city's elite weapon refiners gather.

Lu Chan went directly to the area selling wind-type spirit embryos. There were many bustling chain stores in this area, and Lu Chan chose a store called [Yu Feng Ge] and went inside.

Stepping into the store, I looked around.

The shop's decor is quite luxurious, with silver screens separating one private room after another, showcasing the shop's opulence everywhere.

Several murals hung on the walls, depicting powerful weapon refiners renowned throughout the Northern Sacred State, who were also investors in the [Royal Wind Pavilion].

Lu Chan glanced at the information of the investors and almost choked himself with saliva.

"How can a super-level weapon refiner be so arrogant in the Northern Sacred State?"

"And this guy who calls himself the Lord of Gale and the Emperor of Wind... if he were in the Divine Continent, he would at least be a demigod-level weapon refiner, right?"

Just as Lu Chan was speechless, the receptionist came forward with her signature smile and asked, "Young guest, what would you like to do for me?"

"I need thirty complete Heavenly Dance Wheel embryos. How many do you have in stock?"

"Uh? Thirty pieces? Please wait a moment, I need to check the store's inventory."

The waitress paused slightly, then kindly reminded her, "Young lady, are you here to train your spiritual weapon talent? But I must warn you, the Heavenly Dance Wheel is not an easy spiritual weapon to control, and it's difficult to determine which talent is more suitable for mastering it; it all varies from person to person."

"Don't worry, I know the rules for buying spirit embryos."

Lu Chan nodded.

When purchasing a complete spirit embryo for a specific spirit weapon, one cannot choose its talents; it can only be purchased in bulk, and the talents of the spirit embryos purchased are all randomly generated.

After that, whether you get a top-tier talent or a trash talent, it all belongs to the weapon refiner, and the shopkeeper has no right to interfere.

These are the purchasing rules for the entire weapon crafting industry.

However, even if you generate a completely useless talent, you can still sell it to a shop, and most shops will take care of recycling it.

After all, other weapon refiners will come to buy it later.

Lu Chan asked, "What are the buyback prices at your shop?"

"Fifty percent. For the spirit embryos you don't want, our shop is willing to recycle them for half the cost."

Selling spirit embryos is really incredibly profitable.

However, Lu Chan also knew that this price was already reasonable. After all, large chain stores have to maintain their reputation.

"In that case, let's pay for ten handles first."

A complete Heavenly Dance Wheel embryo costs five thousand, so ten would cost fifty thousand.

With this money used up, all the funds earned from selling the Spirit Skill Void Slash last time were also exhausted.

The Heavenly Dance Wheel is a mid-grade wind-type spiritual weapon.

As for complete high-grade spiritual embryos, they are absolutely unavailable in the shops of Beilan City. They can only be bid on with exorbitant sums of money at the monthly auction.

In Lu Chan's eyes, there was almost no difference between a high-grade spiritual weapon and a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

They're all just toys.
