Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Xu Rong held a jet-black spear with a red tassel that was burning with the color of ashes.

The black spear shaft was covered with dense fire scale patterns, and the eight red tassels were like volcanoes, spinning and spewing out tail flames in all directions, scorching like lion whiskers.

Lu Chan then summoned a golden sun wheel entwined with a crescent moon and purple petals.

"Crackling"

From the countless tiny mouths covered in petals, sharp golden arcs of electricity were exhaled.

Lu Chan instructed, "Just sheathe it now. In these three seconds, try to kill me."

"What? Kill you..."

Xu Rong's expression stiffened, then she gave a few bitter laughs and shook her head.

Even the Flower Saint and the Sword Saint are no match for Junior Sister Lu Chan, so I probably don't need to worry too much. 9

Thinking this, she reversed her grip on the magical weapon and plunged the red spear, wrapped in lion whiskers, into her body, into her spiritual embryo! 2

"Crimson Flame Refining in All Directions - Flame Demon Returns to Sheath!"

Sizzle~~~~~~~

A burnt smell wafted out.

Xu Rong's skin was torn and cracked, revealing black and red burn marks where lava had flowed. "Drip, drip," at the same time, two streams of fiery tears flowed from her bright red eyes, dripping down her cheeks and burning two pitted fire pits into the floor of the gravity chamber.

The gravity chamber is repaired periodically by a weapon refiner.

So they don't need to worry about compensation.

Is this Xu Rong's return to its original state?

Lu Chan observed thoughtfully, and the next second, he saw Xu Rong pull the spear out of her body.

In an instant, her figure vanished from the spot.

The fiery red light swept across 360 degrees like a volcanic eruption. Xu Rong got close to Lu Chan, and spun the spear in her hand several times, creating a magma storm.

Unlike the chief of the Sword and Halberd Academy, Blood Demon Yin Shanmei wielded a spear.

Xu Rong's magical weapon is a soft spear, and most of her moves are sweeping.

In that instant, Lu Chan also used both hands to support the inner ring of the sun wheel and spun out.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang"

Golden arcs of electricity tore at the flames.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Chan's figure flashed like a light and spun close to Xu Rong's side.

The golden sun wheel in her hand danced wildly like a shooting star, suddenly sending Xu Rong's spear flying.

"Bang!" The spear flew dozens of meters and pierced the wall.

When Xu Rong came to her senses...

The golden sun wheel was already resting on his neck.

"this……!!"

In that instant, Xu Rong's red eyes narrowed slightly.

Three seconds have passed, and the spiritual energy has been exhausted.

She withdrew from her sheathed state, knelt on the ground, and gasped for breath.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Junior Sister Lu Chan, this is so unreasonable!! I couldn't even last a second after entering the 'Return to Sheath' state... How did you develop such skills!?"

Xu Rong asked with a wry smile.

If you don't spar with Lu Chan yourself, you absolutely cannot understand just how terrifying Lu Chan's close combat skills are!

Facing the returning Xu Rong.

Lu Chan completely defeated her in just two seconds...

Lu Chan put down the Sun Wheel, blinked her pale purple eyes, and softly analyzed, "Hmm... how should I put it? Your attack style is too wide and sweeping. The power is indeed impressive, but it also creates more openings."

Among the Ten Heavenly Kings of the North.

The most skilled one should be "Moon Dance Zhao Xinglu". Zhao Xinglu's perfect close combat skills are already considered flawless among intermediate weapon refiners.

Compared to Zhao Xinglu, the captain of Duantian Academy, Xu Rong is clearly on a completely different level.

However, this attack method may very well become Xu Rong's signature move.

Lu Chan casually tossed out more than ten complete mid-grade spirit embryos and said, "Just use these spirit embryos to replenish your spiritual energy. After you recover, we'll start training again."

"All you need to do is keep sheathing your sword and fight me."

"After tonight, the sheathing time must be increased to at least five seconds to pass the test."

"..."

"Five seconds!? That's way too long!" Xu Rong was incredulous upon hearing this.

It's important to know that Returning to Sheath is a weapon refiner's ultimate move that consumes spiritual energy explosively; improving it by even a second is incredibly difficult.

Even powerful beings like the Ten Heavenly Kings of the North spent a year just to improve their return-to-sheath time by two or three seconds.

Now, Lu Chan is saying that she can increase her return-to-sheath time to five seconds overnight. Does she really have the confidence to do so?

It seemed as if he could see the doubt in Xu Rong's heart.

Lu Chan explained softly, "The Ten Heavenly Kings of the Northern Saints are nothing more than a group of kids playing house during their academy days. No matter how hard they train, they'll remain mediocre... You know, true strength usually comes from sudden enlightenment in the face of life and death."

"ignition"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chan took out a blue spirit embryo and illuminated the entire refining room with azure flames.

"Alright, hurry up and absorb the spirit embryo to restore your spiritual energy. If you still can't do this even with my help, then don't even talk about entering the Holy Land."

tonight.

Xu Rong quickly experienced what true hellish training was like!

She had sheathed her sword countless times, but no matter how she attacked, she couldn't last two seconds against Lu Chan...

Each time the sheath is returned to its original state, it needs to absorb the spiritual embryo to replenish its spiritual energy.

Until dawn...

The girl with long, fiery red hair was kneeling on the ground, her whole body aching, and she could barely lift her arms.

Even though Xu Rong could continuously replenish her spiritual energy, the constant sheathing and fighting was very physically demanding.

Currently, her physical and mental strength are on the verge of collapse.

"Haven't we already replenished our spiritual energy? Let's continue. There's one last time."

Lu Chan stood with his hands clasped and spoke calmly.

Looking at the red-haired girl struggling to her feet, she gently spun the golden Heavenly Dance Wheel once more.

"Crimson Flame Refining in All Directions - Flame Demon Returns to Sheath!"

Exhausted, Xu Rong once again plunged the magical artifact into the embryonic spirit.

It has entered the state of returning to its sheath.

Wow! ! !

At this moment, eight wounds on her body revealed traces of lava, and her left cheek was stained with an ugly patch of black charcoal, making her look like a terrifying demon.

Because I didn't look in a mirror.

Even Xu Rong was unaware that her Return to Sheath form had already undergone a significant and substantial improvement.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Xu Rong drew his spear, and then, dragging his heavy body, swung it forcefully without warning.

"Spiritual Skill: Fire Hell!"

boom! ! ! !

With her body as the origin, nine waves of fire, resembling blooming lotus flowers, shot into the sky, and the incredible burst of flames instantly enveloped the entire gravity chamber.

A towering wave of fire was rushing towards them!

Lu Chan lightly spun the sun wheel, and golden arcs of electricity swept away all the flames with overwhelming force, almost transforming it into a sun wheel flowing with magma...

Then, she leaped up, turned sideways, and plummeted down from above like a spinning top.

"Clang clang clang clang clang"

Facing that wildly cutting golden storm.

Xu Rong swung her spear several times with all her might, the red light and golden arcs of electricity constantly intertwining. A few seconds later... accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, her spear was once again sent flying by the astonishing impact.

After one blow.

A golden sun disc embedded itself in the earth. Lu Chan, holding the wheel blade, spun around a few times before landing safely.

This time, however, a hint of appreciation appeared on Lu Chan's beautiful face.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, she praised, "Look, haven't you successfully lasted for more than five seconds? You did it!"

"Ugh, I'm exhausted! I really can't go on!"

Xu Rong collapsed to the ground, nearly fainting, and she had no desire to stand up again.

She lay back on the ground, half asleep, and mumbled, "I just want to sleep for a while. If I can't get up later, remember to wake me up."

"It's okay, you should get some sleep."

Lu Chan put away the Sun Wheel and left the gravity chamber.

Forced to train under five times gravity and exhaustion, Xu Rong has already been able to maintain the return-to-sheath time for five seconds. When she wakes up this time, she should have a completely different understanding of the world of weapon refiners.

You should know that this was a special training personally conducted by the Black-Eyed Lady, who was an instructor in the Holy Land in her previous life.

This is a treatment that even the most talented people in China would crave.

The next day, night.

Northern San Antonio League.

The 100th floor of the Star Palace, the Sky Garden.

The match between the top 8 and the bottom 4 has officially begun!

In the first round, Duan Tian Academy easily crushed You Lan Academy, advancing to the semifinals for the second consecutive time.

In the second round, Fengdu Academy faced off against Xueqing Academy. In this round, none of Fengdu Academy's official members appeared on the field, and they won the match with only five substitute members.

To be able to play like this even in the quarterfinals, I'm afraid only Fengdu Academy has such a reserve configuration among all the teams in the entire Northern Saint State League.

Zijing Academy versus Yanshan Academy.

Princess Zijing did not appear in the match against Yanshan Academy, the weakest of the top eight.

After the Zijingyuan team enters the arena...

Seeing that Princess Lu Chan of the Bauhinia had not appeared, the audience members all showed expressions of regret.

"What a pity!! I specially bought a ticket to come to the event, but I didn't expect that Princess Zijing wouldn't be playing this round!"

"There's a reason she didn't come. Yanshan Academy is just too weak. It's a miracle that they even made it into the top eight. She probably wants to conserve her strength to deal with Fengdu Academy, right?"

"However, even if Princess Zijing doesn't appear, the outcome of this match at Zijing Academy should be pretty much a foregone conclusion."

"If you don't understand, just ask. If the entire Flame Mountain Academy attacks together, can they break through Vice Captain Nanhe's defense?"

Even the Sword Saint is powerless against this defensive ability...

Without a doubt, the Flame Mountain Academy could only despair!

For some reason, the members of the Flame Mountain Academy were extremely disappointed.
