Chapter 122: The Sword God

Seeing Ye Xuan’s trust in him, Lin Xu’s mood was quite good.

Ye Xuan was also satisfied. Since Ye Xuan’s system did not have an identification function, he had no idea what this black pearl was. What could he do with it in his hand?

Ye Xuan couldn’t just eat it or grind it into powder to drink with water to see its effects, even if it had some special power. In Ye Xuan’s eyes, it couldn’t compare to his own cheat.

Moreover, Lin Xu speculated that this was the egg of some relic creature, making it even more impossible for Ye Xuan to take any risks.

Ye Xuan was confident in his own growth and had no worries about the future. It was better to exchange it for resources to help Mengli grow faster.

Leaving the office, Ye Xuan prepared to go collect the mission, but on the way, he saw Qin Heng and others.

At this moment, Qin Heng had his arm in a cast, seeming injured, while Zhao Lei was walking with him.

Seeing them, Ye Xuan asked, “What’s wrong? Ran into trouble with the mission?”

Qin Heng raised his arm and said, “Yes, we encountered a group of tough mutated beasts. My pig-slaughtering sword is almost blunt.”

Seeing Qin Heng’s appearance, Ye Xuan said, “Qin, it seems tough for you. Take this.”

Ye Xuan reached for his waist, seemingly pulling something out, but actually took out his Profound Iron Heavy Sword from the system space.

As soon as the Profound Iron Heavy Sword was taken out, Zhao Lei was surprised. He took a few steps forward, circled behind Ye Xuan, and stared at Ye Xuan’s buttocks for several glances, looking quite surprised.

Zhao Lei had seen clearly just now that there was no Profound Iron Heavy Sword hanging on Ye Xuan’s waist. Now, where did he pull it out from? This was a problem!

“Qin Han, this Profound Iron Heavy Sword is for you. Although it’s not as sharp as the pig-slaughtering knife, it weighs a lot and is more powerful. It should be useful for you.”

Qin Heng looked at the Profound Iron Heavy Sword, then said slowly, “Rise!”

The Profound Iron Heavy Sword remained motionless, still in Ye Xuan’s hand.

Qin Heng hurriedly said, “Put it down, you’re affecting my performance.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan placed the Profound Iron Heavy Sword flat on the ground and watched Qin Heng’s performance.

“Rise!”

The Profound Iron Heavy Sword remained motionless, and Qin Heng was sweating profusely.

Ye Xuan was surprised, “What’s going on? How can this be?”

Qin Heng shrugged and said with a bitter smile, “Blame it on you. Ever since I got that pig-slaughtering knife, I’ve been hypnotizing myself every day that it’s a sword. And compared to other swords, the power of the pig-slaughtering knife is indeed much stronger. So, I’ve always used the pig-slaughtering knife. Now, besides the pig-slaughtering knife, I can’t control any other sword…”

Ye Xuan was shocked. How could this happen? He thought his words before would make Qin Heng’s path more diversified, but unexpectedly, it led to this? Unable to control any sword other than the pig-slaughtering knife, how could this be called swordsmanship?

It’s worth noting that after Qin Heng’s abilities had developed, he could control numerous divine swords, using cool and powerful moves.

Therefore, he had many female fans and was known as the Great Sword God, with almost as many fans as Su Mengli.

But now, swordsmanship had turned into knife mastery. The elegance and beauty had directly dropped by eight classs.

The majestic Great Sword God had turned into the pig-slaughtering knife God. It could be said that he had lost all his grace. How tragic!

“Why don’t you try again? See if you can get it back?”

Qin Heng helplessly said, “It’s impossible now. But your Profound Iron Heavy Sword is indeed good. How about melting it down and making a larger pig-slaughtering knife? Then I should be able to control it.”

Ye Xuan stared at Qin Heng and said, “Melt it down? That’s not a problem. But don’t you really want to try to get it back?”

Qin Heng said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. Strength is the most important. What’s the use of elegance in the face of life and death?”

Ye Xuan could only say, “Alright, I’ll talk to the dean later and have him arrange for someone to melt down the Profound Iron Heavy Sword for you.”

The pig-slaughtering knife was the exclusive treasure of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, the sharpness of the pig-slaughtering knife was not only due to being made of Tian Shan Cold Iron but also because of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye’s forging techniques.

As for the Profound Iron Heavy Sword, it had no special forging effect. It was just because the material itself was Profound Iron, so it was extremely heavy and hard. There would be no problem forging it into other shapes.

In “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” Guo Jing split the Profound Iron Heavy Sword into two, creating the hollow Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heavenly Sword. With modern scientific technology, it wouldn’t be difficult to forge the Profound Iron Heavy Sword into a large pig-slaughtering knife shape.

In fact, it was not surprising that Qin Heng encountered such a problem. A person’s abilities should gradually increase with continuous use and the improvement of their ability development class.

If Qin Heng had been developing his sword manipulation ability for more than ten years, with an ability development class exceeding fifty percent, he would have been very skilled.

At this point, when Ye Xuan instilled the concept of knives and swords into him, allowing him to control the pig-slaughtering knife, there would have been no problem. He could have controlled both swords and knives as he pleased without any issues.

Unfortunately, when Ye Xuan made him control the pig-slaughtering knife, his ability had just started to develop and was not yet proficient, with a low development class.

At this moment, forcing him to control the pig-slaughtering knife, Qin Heng also envied the sharpness of the pig-slaughtering knife and was eager to succeed, which led him down the wrong path. The once majestic Great Sword God had regressed into the pig-slaughtering knife God.

The next day, Lin Xu handed the Profound Iron Heavy Sword to the master blacksmith, who spent seven days melting and recasting it into a pig-slaughtering knife. With the large pig-slaughtering knife, Qin Heng made up for the lack of attack power and performed missions smoothly.

However, it was said that the master blacksmith who forged the pig-slaughtering knife kept sighing. Young people nowadays had unique preferences. They didn’t like good swords but preferred pig-slaughtering knives…

At the same time, Lin Xu handed over the mysterious black pearl and exchanged it for the corresponding reward.

Lin Xu called Ye Xuan and Su Mengli to the office. “Mengli, this bead is called the Flame Departure Pearl, with an extraordinary origin. Wearing it can accelerate the cultivation speed of fire element awakeners and enhance their own abilities. You should try it.”

Su Mengli took the pearl, which looked crimson, emitting a red light.

Holding the Flame Departure Pearl in her palm, she could feel a warm energy emanating from it, being absorbed by herself.

“Thank you, Dean.”

Lin Xu smiled, “No need to be so polite. Alright, hurry up and go do your missions. Although you have trump cards, try not to widen the gap in points too much during this time.”

“Yes, Dean.”
