Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Inside the white and gold airship.

Several figures were silently looking down at the tiny town below; although Beilan City was located on the edge of Beisheng Prefecture, it was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the scenery was quite spectacular.

A stunningly beautiful young woman with long silver hair gently opened her moon-like eyes.

She seemed to remember something, looked at the figure sitting opposite her, and said softly, "I heard that your record was broken?"

"..."

Opposite her sat Xiao He, who had her hair styled in light blue curly hair, and next to Xiao He sat a petite girl with long, light blue pear-shaped curly hair.

She wore a light blue haori robe, and her jade-green eyes gleamed with a faint, eerie light.

She is the second-in-command of the Broken Sky Academy and the vice-captain of the team.

Also one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the Northern Saints, alongside Yue Wu and Zhao Xinglu, is Tianjie·Xiao Hanye! 9

The titles bestowed upon many weapon refiners by the Northern Saint State League are: 2

【The Three Saints】

The Ten Heavenly Kings

[Thirty-Six Supernovas]

Among them, the three saints are:

Sword Saint Su Fu.

Ghost Saint Qi Jiusi.

Flower Saint - Willow of Yan

They are all super geniuses whose natal spirit artifacts are of the highest grade, monsters born to surpass countless weapon refiners.

Some holy lands even extended olive branches to them early on, allowing them to directly enter after graduating from the weapon-refining academy.

Duan Tian Yuan, with two Ten Heavenly Kings, was almost invincible in the previous league, unstoppable in every way, but ultimately lost to Sword Saint Su Fu.

Upon hearing Zhao Xinglu's words, Xiao Hanye narrowed his blue eyes and frowned, saying:

"That's right, my record from a year ago has been broken in one go, now standing at 1 minute and 59 seconds."

"After hearing about this yesterday, I also tried to break the record again."

"However... even now, my fastest time to clear the game is 2 minutes and 30 seconds. She was a full 31 seconds faster than me. I really want to know what kind of magical artifact that girl was using."

Just then, Xiao He asked, "I heard that person might possess a very powerful large-scale slaughter technique. Sister, what do you think?"

"Are you an idiot?" Xiao Hanye smacked Xiao He on the head and said with dissatisfaction, "The spiritual weapons in the spiritual weapon siege battle come out wave after wave. How could you possibly release so many spiritual skills in a row!"

"If I had to guess... this guy's spirit weapon must be the kind with incredibly high destructive power, attack speed, and attack frequency. In addition, it should also have a talent that gets faster the longer it fights, or it might be a splash damage type."

"I already have a guess in my mind about the specific type that fits."

As Xiao Hanye's words were about to be spoken, everyone held their breath, waiting for her to reveal the type of spiritual weapon.

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Hanye said confidently, "It should be a Gatling gun, right?"

"..."

"..."

"is it?"

Zhao Xinglu remained noncommittal, finding the conclusion somewhat boring.

Waiting for nothing.

She looked out the window and changed the subject, saying, "We're almost there for our first stop, right? Is this academy called the Bauhinia Academy?"

Xiao He nodded: "Yes, the Zijing Academy is an academy that has passed the preliminary selection for several consecutive years. It's worth mentioning that our Duantian Academy encountered the Zijing Academy once more than ten years ago, so we have quite a history with them."

"After that, in order, it's the Golden Feather Academy, the Netherworld Academy, the Myriad Flowers Academy, and the Black River Academy..."

Xiao He explained as she flipped through the list.

As a prestigious school, Duan Tian Academy is invited by numerous academies to train there a month before the start of the Northern Saint State League each year, with generous compensation offered.

Therefore, this kind of training is also known as a training camp trip, a privilege exclusive to elite families.

Hearing this, Zhao Xinglu frowned slightly: "Why did the Black River Academy invite us?"

"That Wu Mo guy is up to no good. She lost to our Duan Tian Academy in the last competition and fell in the top sixteen. This year she actually dares to invite us to train."

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Hanye again: "Xiao Hanye, is it alright if I leave all the training and matches before Black River Academy to you? I'll just give up the whole thing..."

"That's fine with me..."

Xiao Hanye nodded and sighed in response, "As for you, Captain, if you don't personally participate in the training and competitions, these academies will probably complain. They spent a lot of money to invite us here, isn't it just to see the two of us fight together?"

"You're putting them in a difficult position."

In the previous season, Zhao Xinglu and Xiao Hanye were just one step away from victory in their earth-shattering battle against Sword Saint Su Fu. After the league ended, the battle was even selected by the league officials as the number one classic battle of the year.

Zhao Xinglu shook her head and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, having you as the grand finale is enough."

"In that case..."

Xiao Hanye said to Xiao He, "Kid, bring me the roster of Team One from the Purple Thorn Academy."

"We'll only fight one match, then leave the next day."

As he spoke, Xiao Hanye flipped through the list and glanced at it. It contained information on the spiritual weapons of all the players and substitutes in the first team of the Zijing Weapon Refining Academy.

"The Chairman's weapon is a top-grade fire-type spiritual artifact, Crimson Refining Eight Directions."

"The second vice-captain's magical artifact is a top-grade water-based weapon, 'Sleeve Rain and Graceful Song'."

"Let me see the rest..."

"Wind Demon Blade, Fire Wheel Twin Blades, Thunderclap Gun, and a substitute, Heavenly Dance Wheel"

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hanye suddenly frowned her green eyebrows and said with a puzzled expression:

"That's strange. How come there's a low-grade Storm Sword in this wheel-type weapon refiner's list of spiritual weapons? Can someone with a low-grade spiritual weapon still make it onto the first team's bench?"

"..."

"..."

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinglu, who had been lost in thought, immediately widened her eyes. She and Xiao He exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's pupils.

"Sister, what did you just say?! Repeat it again!"

Xiao He said excitedly.

Xiao Hanye blinked in confusion, only then realizing that Zhao Xinglu and Xiao He were staring at him in shock.

She asked blankly, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Wow"

The next second, Zhao Xinglu snatched the list from Xiao Hanye's hand and scanned the list.

[Zijingyuan Team 1, Substitute Player: Lu Chan]

Wind-type Weapon Refiner

[Wind-type, Mid-grade, Heavenly Dance Wheel - Thunderclap]

[Low-grade Wind-type Sword, Storm Sword]

"So, this guy's real name is Lu Chan..."

Seeing this, Zhao Xinglu narrowed her silver eyes, her expression incredibly complex, and said, "Finally, I found it after all."

Zijing Academy: Chapter 37: Arrival!

Zijing Refining Academy:

Gazing at the platinum-gold luxury airship in the sky, many students exclaimed in amazement:

"This is the airship of the Broken Sky Academy team..."

"My God, I've only ever seen the Broken Sky Academy team in the Northern Sacred State League, how did they end up in our academy!"

"These prestigious weapon-refining academies usually hold training trips before the start of the Northern Sacred State League. I never expected that they would come to our academy this year!"

"I wonder if this is a team from the Broken Heaven Academy. I wish I could see those two!"

"That's what one female fan said expectantly."

In the past, they had only heard about those celebrity weapon refiners online, but now that they had come to Zijing Academy in person, it felt somewhat unreal.

"Our academy is going to compete against the Broken Heaven Academy? No, that's unlikely..."

"Didn't our team fail to even make it out of the open qualifiers? They'll probably just embarrass themselves in the actual competition."

Upon hearing these words, a weapon refiner frowned and explained, "Didn't Dean Zijing say that Zijing Academy has a very good chance this year? I heard that Chief Scholar Xu Rong is also very capable. In any case, they won't be eliminated in the preliminary selection stage this year."

It seems everyone is eager to witness the match between Zijingyuan and the elite teams in person.

Unfortunately, these kinds of training sessions between teams are usually not open to the public.

In the main hall of Zijing Academy, a black-haired woman with an elegant demeanor, dressed in a nebula-patterned robe, awaited the arrival of the Duantian Academy airship.

There were three other people behind her.

Xu Rong, Chief Scholar of Zijing Academy.

Nanhe, second seat of Zijing Academy.

In addition, there is a tall girl with long, wine-red hair, Luo Fei, a flash-type weapon refiner.

A few days ago, the fourth team of Zijingyuan, which she led, was successfully promoted to the second team, second only to Xu Rong's first team.

With the guests about to arrive, Luo Fei asked excitedly, "Dean Zijing, will our second team have the opportunity to train with Duantian Academy?"

"Forehead……"

Dean Zijing hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Asking me about this is useless; it probably depends on their mood..."

If a top-four team from the Northern Sacred State League were to train with the second team of the Purple Thorn Academy, it would be an insult to the Broken Sky Academy.

Dean Zijing reassured her, "Don't worry, Luo Fei, your strength is still outstanding. If the Broken Heaven Academy's attitude is really bad, you can take this opportunity to join the first team and train with them."

"All right"

Luo Fei was somewhat frustrated and felt a little regretful.

Xu Rong said earnestly, "I have no objections. If Luo Fei is willing to join our team, it will further enhance the team's strength and make this year's Northern Saint State League even more promising."

"By the way, Dean Zijing, what price did you go to to invite the star players from Duantian Academy? Our team members are incredibly excited!"

Dean Zijing said solemnly, "Compared to bringing Zijing Academy back into the sight of Northern Sacred State, what is this little sacrifice?"

"However... the Duan Tian Academy's offer is really outrageous. They're asking for three high-grade spirit skills and ten mid-grade spirit skills right off the bat. I suppose if they just let these star contestants tour around the nearby cities, they can raise the caliber of their elite students by another round, right?"

"Xu Rong, you and your team have to live up to expectations! You are the hope of Zijing Academy this year!"

Xu Rong held her breath and said, "I will not let the dean down. Nan He... you better be serious later!" After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the girl with long light blue hair and a huge dark blue rose bun on her head.

Miss Nanhe was also present to greet the guests today.

"Mmm," Nanhe nodded obediently.

Soon, in an open space, the airship of the Broken Sky Academy landed... It sprayed out a ring of mist, and the gate opened.

The first person to emerge from the airship was a young man with curly blue hair.

He walked at the front, wearing a blue robe of the Duan Tian Academy, followed by a man and a woman.

Xu Rong's expression turned slightly solemn: "Xiao He from Duan Tian Academy, a lightning-type weapon refiner, whose natal spirit weapon is the mid-grade Thunder Moon; his assassination and close combat skills are impeccable. In the previous Northern Sacred State League, he single-handedly assassinated several weapon refiners with high-grade spirit weapons. He is a true elite."
