Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

Almost no magical weapon can withstand the first sword strike after the Storm Sword is drawn. If it can, Lu Chan will follow up with a charged attack.

Of course, she wasn't extravagant enough to unleash ten times the power on a mid-grade spiritual weapon, since that power was simply too outrageous.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!" Facing the attack of several magical weapons, Lu Chan swung his sword several times, slashing rapidly. Several streaks of cyan light instantly shattered all the magical weapons, and a pile of broken iron was swept away more than ten meters along with them.

"ignition"

Looking at the fire-type spirit embryo that was now igniting, Lu Chan touched her pocket again. Only then did she realize that due to her previous selfless slaughter, the fire-type spirit embryos she had bought earlier had been completely used up.

Each time she slays ten spiritual weapons, she has the Storm Sword absorb their spiritual essence at once to replenish her spiritual energy and continue fighting.

Therefore, she has used up all of her fire-type spirit embryos along the way.

Behind them, a trail of broken copper and scrap iron was left behind.

The scene of this place, looted by Lu Chan, was extremely tragic; it could only be described as a scene of utter devastation.

Of course, she didn't feel guilty at all, since the training base staff would replenish the magical artifacts regularly, no matter how many were missing.

"The hunting should almost stop."

"You've absorbed to your limit, haven't you?"

Lu Chan twirled the Storm Sword around, and at this moment, the blade of the Storm Sword was filled with a large number of spiritual energy particles, radiating a dreamlike silvery luster.

"Perfect, this spiritual energy should be enough for you to absorb. It might even help me advance to a mid-level weapon refiner."

Let's go back first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chan turned around, tossing his long, white-purple hair, and walked back the way he came.

But before she had taken more than a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and looked deeper into the forest.

“Something is coming…” Lu Chan gripped the hilt of the Storm Sword again and said expressionlessly.

"Boom!!!"

A few seconds later, a small, silver figure appeared in her sight. It was a small bird flapping its silver feathers, its steel-like scales opening and closing as it flew over at lightning speed.

Behind the little bird, a fierce figure was relentlessly pursuing it.

"Young Wind-Calling Sparrow"

Upon seeing this low-grade beast-type spiritual weapon, Lu Chan's pale purple eyes narrowed slightly, and he even overlooked the figure further behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the Wind-Calling Sparrow had already flown to Lu Chan's vicinity. It originally thought that the passersby who had nothing to do with this matter would remain indifferent, but unexpectedly... Lu Chan reached out and put the Wind-Calling Sparrow into his pocket, holding it tightly to prevent it from moving around.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp"

The Windcaller was completely dumbfounded and started barking incessantly.

A few seconds later...

A figure spewing flames rushed out from behind the woods, leaving a trail of red light and sparks. Like a wild beast, the girl leaped and charged in front of Lu Chan.

In addition, two more agile figures surged forward from behind, both wearing the uniforms of the Bauhinia Weapon Forging Academy.

The girl at the head of the group was dressed in a black Taoist robe and held a jet-black spear with a red tassel that was burning with a scorched color.

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

The girl had long, bright red hair styled in a cascading bun, and her spirited eyebrows were slightly raised as she looked down at Lu Chan.

It must be said that the image of the owner and the spirit artifact are quite compatible.

"Hey kid, that little guy hid in your clothes just now, didn't he?"

"I am Xu Rong, ranked first in the Zijing Weapon Refining Academy. I can exchange a complete mid-grade spirit embryo with you, is that alright?"

The red-haired girl asked seriously in a hoarse voice.

Xu Rong, nicknamed Flame Demon.

The chief weapon refiner of the Zijing Weapon Refining Academy, the captain of the Zijing First Battle Team, and a fire-type weapon refiner, Lu Chan's previous incarnation naturally recognized her.

However, Lu Chan's attention was not on Xu Rong at all at this moment.

Suddenly, the Wind-Calling Sparrow, which was being held tightly by Lu Chan, also desperately poked its head out, chirping wildly and looking at everyone with a pitiful expression.

Its pitiful appearance seemed to say, "How could the guy who grabbed me be more brutal than the guy who had been chasing me all along?"

Lu Chan asked softly, "The Wind-Calling Sparrow, I didn't expect that the Wind-Calling Sparrow would also appear in Beilan Prefecture. By the way, isn't this a specialty spiritual artifact from Saint Lotus Prefecture?"

Are you wandering alone?

Tell me, are there any other Windcaller Birds here?

Seeing Lu Chan's strange behavior of talking to herself for no apparent reason, Xu Rong frowned and asked in a kind tone, "How about it, junior? Want to be friends?"

Although she herself didn't harbor any strong hostility, the high-grade spiritual weapon she held in her hand...

The eight-petaled red-tasseled spear, which was frantically breathing flames, was itself an immense source of oppression. Wherever the tip of her spear pointed from a distance, the ground was filled with fiery trenches.

Feeling the intense heat hitting him, Lu Chan snapped out of his confusion.

She glanced at the three people present and said coldly, "Oh, this was your prey to begin with, why should you pay to get it back?"

"If it were something else, I would naturally return it to you, but unfortunately..."

"This Wind-Calling Sparrow is the only weapon I absolutely must have."

Zijing Academy: Chapter 14: The End

"I absolutely must have this Wind-Calling Sparrow!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rongying's bright eyes showed a hint of confusion, as if she had not yet recovered from Lu Chan's astonishing words.

Does she even realize what she's saying? She's the top student at the Zijing Weapon Forging Academy!

Didn't she see the superior-grade spiritual weapon she was holding...?

Just then, a tall woman behind her said impatiently, "Do you know who we are, you little dwarf? Don't talk nonsense here. We are determined to get this Wind-Calling Sparrow!"

Upon hearing the word "shorty," Xu Rong's expression turned slightly unpleasant, mainly because she wasn't much taller than Lu Chan opposite her.

However, what angered her even more was Lu Chan's arrogant words.

Xu Rong subtly tightened her grip on the spear and asked seriously, "Junior sister, do you really have to fight us for this magical weapon?"

"You know, this isn't something you absolutely need; it's not exactly a treasure. It wouldn't be good if it ruined our relationship."

Hearing this, Lu Chan didn't respond. She gripped the hilt of the Storm Sword expressionlessly and said indifferently:

"Come on, let's finish this quickly."

The air seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere between the two sides was becoming increasingly tense...

Suddenly, a boy with short gray hair emerged from behind Xu Rong. He said nervously, "Wait, Captain, fighting her is not a wise move."

"Her strength may pose a threat to you."

"The North Saint State League is about to start, you can't afford to get injured at this crucial time."

As a wind-elemental weapon refiner, he inexplicably felt a strange sense of oppression as soon as he stepped into this place.

Behind the white-haired girl, there were mournful cries that sounded like wailing, and piles of broken metal from magical artifacts lay everywhere.

This place is filled with the deathly aura of wind-type magical artifacts.

Did this woman in front of me do it all by herself?

Is she hunting down a large number of wind-type magical artifacts?

"Are you kidding me?" The tall woman frowned. How could a mere student she had never heard of possibly pose a threat to the chief student of the Bauhinia Refining Academy?

They were sent out to capture the Windcaller Sparrow on the orders of the young lady, and no one was allowed to stop them.

Moreover, they had finally found this Windcalling Sparrow, which was extremely rare in the Northern Sacred Continent, and they were about to get it, so how could they give up!

However, in stark contrast to the tall woman's anger, Xu Rong asked rather seriously, "Are you serious?"

She frowned and said, "Although I disagree with your point of view, your intuition is usually very accurate."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Rong looked at Lu Chan with a solemn expression. This guy was facing his own magical weapon and actually adopted a fighting stance.

Does she think she has a chance of winning?

Although the Northern San Antonio League is just around the corner...

But no matter what...

If even he himself was no match for her, that would be truly outrageous.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xu Rong, who had been looking troubled, seemed to have made a decision. She suddenly chuckled, "Haha, junior, you're really domineering. I admire that. Alright... consider that Windcalling Sparrow a gift to you!"

"By the way, you're also a student at the Bauhinia Weapon Forging Academy, right? How about it? Are you interested in my team? Would you like to join?"

When Xu Rong suddenly extended the invitation, her two companions were somewhat taken aback.

This woman just brazenly stole the Windcaller Sparrow that they had been chasing for so long!

"Tch, I think you guys were seduced by her beauty, Captain? You've all gone crazy, haven't you?" The tall woman clicked her tongue in displeasure, turned around and left, sulking by herself.

Seeing this, Lu Chan shook his head: "I have no interest in joining the team. Since you've given me the Windcaller Sparrow, I'll thank you anyway."

After saying that, Lu Chan grabbed the Wind-Calling Sparrow and left.

All I can say is that these kids are pretty sensible.

Watching Lu Chan's departing figure, Xu Rong said with some confusion, "Not being interested in the team means you don't want to participate in the Northern Sacred State League? Are there really weapon refiners who are so detached from worldly desires?"

"What a pity. If she had truly been hiding her true strength and joined our team, Zijingyuan might have made a name for herself in this Northern Sacred State League."

Just then, the gray-haired boy beside him suddenly said, "By the way, Captain."

"Speaking of which, how are we going to explain to the young lady if we fail to capture the Windcaller?"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Xu Rong's face visibly paled.

She coughed lightly a few times and instructed, "I suddenly feel like I've overexerted my spiritual energy and have a bit of a headache. When you get back, you can explain this to the young lady yourself. Um, I'm going home to rest now."

"Captain, why don't you just kill me then?"

After confirming that they were far away, Lu Chan took the Wind-Calling Sparrow out of his pocket and carefully held it in his palm.

"buzz buzz buzz"

The Wind-Calling Sparrow looked confused, stretched out its steel beak and poked Lu Chan's palm, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied that she had almost strangled it to death.

Lu Chan said gently, "Don't worry, I won't force you to form a contract. I just have a few questions I want to ask you."

"First of all, do you have any of your kind around here? As far as I know, low-grade beast-type spiritual artifacts are all social creatures, right?"

The Wind-Calling Sparrow shook its head.

"So that's how it is. It's a lost Windcaller Sparrow?"

After a quick assessment, Lu Chan was slightly disappointed.

However, since a Windcalling Sparrow has appeared in Beilan City, it means that there are other Windcalling Sparrows in Beisheng Prefecture, perhaps distributed in some forbidden zones?

Judging from the fact that the three people knew about the species of the Windcaller, Lu Chan already knew that there was definitely more than just this one Windcaller in the Northern Sacred State.

"Anyway, you can stay by my side for now. I'll find someone to take care of feeding you."

Beast-type spirit artifacts are just too troublesome, so Lu Chan certainly wouldn't raise them himself; at most, he would find a spirit artifact foster care facility to look after them temporarily.

She snatched the Windcalling Sparrow not because it had any practical use; in fact, as most people would think, the Windcalling Sparrow was a non-combat magical artifact that could only be kept as a pet, and was usually collected and kept by girls from noble families.
