Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Lu Chan gently flicked the blade of the Storm Sword a few times and said softly, "Next, it depends on whether you can withstand the modification of the mid-grade spirit forging. I hope you won't disappoint me... I specially used a water-type spirit embryo to neutralize the spirit forging, just so that you can better withstand it."

"But what if you waste this opportunity..."

Lu Chan lowered her pale purple eyes and threatened coldly, "I will never give you another chance."

"have you understood?"

Seemingly sensing the threatening tone in Lu Chan's voice, the Storm Sword trembled nervously a few times.

The next second, Lu Chan didn't even give Storm Sword time to prepare. She grabbed the scabbard with her left hand and slammed it onto the blade of Storm Sword.

Clang! ! ! !

Sparks flew everywhere as the air currents generated by the collision of the two different spiritual energies instantly scattered Lu Chan's snow-white long hair, and the scorpion tail braid with its dark purple highlights at the end was also blown into the sky.

The Storm Sword emitted a mournful hum as its blade was completely swallowed by its scabbard.

The exposed hilt of the sword trembled eerily.

Lu Chan watched this scene with a solemn expression. If the Storm Sword really couldn't withstand the power of the spirit forging and broke, it would probably take several more days to recover.

Furthermore, any failed spirit forging will also be destroyed, vanishing into nothingness.

Fortunately, after several days of inhuman torture, the Storm Sword was still struggling to hold on, even though it was on the verge of breaking.

Soon, Lu Chan also silently closed his eyes.

As the wielder of the Storm Sword, she was undoubtedly experiencing the same pain as the Storm Sword itself.

This level of pain didn't even cause her expression to change in the slightest. She said softly, "If we succeed this time, I will make you keep getting stronger."

"Then, the next time I see a divine artifact, I'll take you with me so you can see for yourself that distant, unknown divine realm that shouldn't belong to you, a low-grade spiritual weapon."

"Using a low-grade spiritual weapon to fight a divine weapon—just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement!"

As Lu Chan's indifferent soliloquy ended, the nearly shattered Storm Sword stopped trembling and became quiet.

A few minutes later, the fog in the refining room gradually dissipated.

Lu Chan opened his eyes and looked at the Storm Sword.

A beautiful emerald-green luster flowed freely, and wisps of mist floated out from the scabbard, proving that the transformation of the spirit forging was successful.

From then on, the Storm Sword became a sword with a scabbard.

Lu Chan silently recited, "Spiritual Weapon Panel"

【Storm Sword: (Low Grade, Wind Element)】

[Talent: (Charge)]

[Spiritual Skill: (Soul Suppression), (Tenfold Charge)]

[Spirit Forging: (Sheath) Mist Concealment]

"All that hard work these past few days has paid off!"

Sensing Storm Sword's elation and excitement, Lu Chan chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I will keep my promise."

"only……"

Through the reflection of the sword sheath, Lu Chan also saw his own face, which was very tired and had dark circles under his eyes.

She almost forgot that she was only a low-level weapon refiner and could not withstand such high-intensity training and spiritual energy consumption, nor could she go without sleep for so long.

"Let's go back and rest for a while."

She tucked the Storm Sword into her bosom and left the forging room.

Bauhinia Academy: Chapter 12: Open-air Training Base

Time passed, and ten days had gone by since Lu Chan was reborn in Beilan City.

During this period, Lu Chan only went home twice, and he didn't go to the Zijing Refining Academy even once.

She was almost always in the virtual battle zone, constantly practicing her Storm Sword skills.

She ignored the messages from Liu Qian and the numerous absence warnings from the college.

In Lu Chan's view, the Zijing Weapon Forging Academy was just a place for a bunch of novices to play house. If it were in Shenzhou or a prosperous state, children of this age would have been forced to enter the Spirit Forbidden Zone to experience real life-and-death trials.

……

……

Beilan City, open-air training base.

Lu Chan left the virtual battle area after a long absence and came to an unfamiliar place. Standing at the registration desk at the entrance, he could already see the boundless and lush forest of the open-air base.

"Excuse me, is this your first time visiting the training base?" A young female registrar in a red and white uniform asked politely with a smile.

Lu Chan nodded.

"Guest, since this is your first time entering, there are a few things to keep in mind beforehand. Most of the unclaimed magical artifacts within the base are quite friendly, but if your strength is insufficient, please do not venture too deep, otherwise you may encounter a more aggressive magical artifact and be in danger."

"Furthermore, regarding accepting these tasks..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Lu Chan nodded, interrupting the woman's introduction.

After registering, she walked into the forest, ignoring the dazzling list of tasks beside her.

The outdoor training base is a practice base modeled after the Spirit Forbidden Zone, which is available for use by weapon refiner trainees. Of course, its danger level is negligible compared to the Spirit Forbidden Zone.

Even so, accidents still happen occasionally.

For example, there are countless examples of weapon refiners who deliberately attack powerful magical artifacts in order to form a contract with them.

In addition, it is also possible that they went too deep and unfortunately encountered one of the few high-quality murder weapons in the base.

Upon entering the forest, Lu Chan summoned the Storm Sword.

A gentle breeze stirred, and a long sword, shrouded in azure mist, materialized in her hand.

The mist flickered with the glow of green candles and a few streaks of rosy light; after the scabbard was modified, the Storm Sword's appearance was dramatically improved.

Lu Chan glanced around. At the entrance of the forest, many common low-grade spiritual weapons floated, such as the Whirlwind Sword, the Flame Gun, and the Thunder Cudgel.

They hovered in the air, all showing a hint of curiosity as they watched from afar, without any intention of approaching.

There are countless low-grade spiritual artifacts in this world, and they are basically commonplace.

As Lu Chan continued to venture deeper, she soon arrived at the location of the wind-type magical artifact.

She came to the outdoor base to enhance the spiritual energy of the Storm Sword.

During these days of training, the Storm Sword has also broken through its bottleneck and can now accommodate more spiritual energy.

Absorbing damaged spiritual embryos can slightly improve the quality of spiritual artifacts, although the process is very slow.

Admittedly, she could continuously refine and sell spirit techniques to buy spirit embryos, but that method was far too conspicuous. Not to mention whether the shop had enough spirit embryos in stock, refining spirit techniques would also consume spiritual energy.

A short while later, after Lu Chan had passed through a forest, she slowly stopped and glanced at the back of a large tree.

A magical artifact is hidden there.

The next second, realizing they had been discovered... a silver-white curved blade flew out from behind the tree, tracing a beautiful arc as it carried fallen leaves.

Its entire body is covered with crystalline weathered patterns, and the tip of the blade gleams with a hint of cold light.

At the same time, a ripple appeared on the lake nearby.

Two cannons emerged from a sky-blue, streamlined double-barreled shotgun, aimed at Lu Chan, and instantly condensed into two sky-blue energy bullets.

A powerful aura blew towards us.

Both magical artifacts emitted a warning aura simultaneously, signaling Lu Chan not to go any deeper.

At this moment, if it were an ordinary novice weapon refiner being targeted by a remote magical weapon, he would probably have wet his pants in fear, but Lu Chan remained completely unmoved.

She glanced at the two magical artifacts casually and said indifferently, "The Crescent Moon Wind Cannon and the Cleansing Wind Cannon are mid-grade magical artifacts, not particularly powerful."

"Let's start the slaughter!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gripped the silver hilt of her sword tightly and nimbly charged towards the curved blade in front of her.

Seeing that the weapon refiner not only did not retreat but instead charged towards him, Crescent Moon Wind was slightly taken aback; almost in that instant, it swooped down from behind the tree, leaving a crescent-shaped trail as it attacked Storm Sword.

These magical artifacts are all artificially trained and cultivated, and they will generally only target the artifacts first, rather than killing the artifact refiner.

With a clang, Lu Chan suddenly drew his Storm Sword from its sheath.

The sword was imbued with the flames of a firefly, which transformed into a blue whirlwind that burst forth. The moment it made contact... the scimitar was cleaved into a pile of shattered iron with a clang, flying everywhere.

With the added bonus of the scabbard's mist concealment, the power of the first strike after the Storm Sword is drawn is comparable to the previous charged attack.

Seeing this, the Cleansing Cannon accelerated the condensation of spiritual energy. Unfortunately, just as the blue beam cannon was about to take shape, it dissipated at the last moment.

[Accumulating Power]

Lu Chan had already turned around with the Storm Sword in hand and walked towards the Wind Purifying Cannon hidden beneath the lake. She took three seconds to get close, and then, without even glancing at it, she swung her sword.

boom! ! ! ! !

The blue tornado lifted the lake surface several meters in an instant, and the air-purifying cannon was instantly pulverized, its steel tumbling and turning into dust.

One was far away, the other near; the two broken fragments of wind-elemental magical artifacts hovered in the air almost simultaneously.

Lu Chan accepted the two broken embryos.

Then, she took out a lotus-shaped gemstone that was burning with a fiery red light from her pocket.

This is a complete low-grade fire-type spirit embryo.

A complete fire-elemental spirit embryo can replace the function of a refining furnace in the wild and in spirit-forbidden zones.

Lu Chan said softly, "At times like this, I can't help but envy fire-type weapon refiners. Even without anything, they can start a fire anytime, anywhere."

"ignition"

Lu Chan infused a wisp of spiritual energy, and the fire-type spiritual embryo burst into flames with a whoosh.

Low-grade fire spirit embryos are all one-time use, lasting about five minutes each time.

A mid-grade fire spirit embryo can last for three hours, but using a complete mid-grade fire spirit embryo to start a fire is simply too expensive, too wasteful, and too extravagant...

Lu Chan threw the two spirit embryos into the firelight.

After they turned into powder, she put the blade of the Storm Sword into the firelight, turned it over a few times, and absorbed the spiritual energy within the firelight.

Seeing that the fire spirit embryo had been extinguished, the refining process was considered complete.

The Storm Sword instantly replenished the spiritual energy it had just consumed, and its maximum spiritual energy limit was also slightly increased.

The Storm Sword was not surprised that it had so easily destroyed two mid-grade spiritual weapons. After all, it had already learned what kind of monster Lu Chan was during its training.

Zijing Academy: Chapter 13: The Flame Demon

of course……

Lu Chan's act of using unfinished artifacts to replenish and enhance the spiritual energy of magical weapons is seen by many weapon refiners as a pure waste of resources.

Even low-grade incomplete embryos can be sold as materials for refining spiritual techniques.

Using it to restore spiritual energy is too wasteful; it's better to wait for the spiritual artifact to recover naturally... Besides, such a slight improvement is not noticeable even after feeding one or two spiritual embryos.

Of course, Lu Chan's plan is not simply to absorb one or two.

Lu Chan sensed the increased spiritual energy emanating from the Storm Sword and said with satisfaction, "Alright, let's continue the hunt."

This is the habitat of wind-type magical artifacts, where a large number of them roam and slumber.

However, on this day, countless wind-type magical artifacts were simultaneously alarmed.

boom! ! ! !

Many magical artifacts didn't even have time to react before a blue whirlwind surrounded by water mist flew over, piercing through the trees and slicing them in two with a crack.

Picking up the spirit embryo, Lu Chan didn't pause for a moment. As he sheathed the Storm Sword, he charged toward the next spirit weapon.
