Zhou Shu said, âIf I use my own weapon to exchange something with you, Great General Wang, is that considered treason?
âGreat General, does our Great Xia have such a rule?â Zhou Shu asked Meng Bai.
âYou have the right to dispose of your own items.â Although Meng Bai was a little puzzled about what Zhou Shu wanted to do, he still replied.
âYouâve been laying the groundwork for so long because you want to trade the weapon you have for something of mine?â Wang Mu finally understood. He sneered. âIf I remember correctly, youâre not a Grand Craftsman yet, right? If you canât forge a heaven-grade weapon, what weapon will you use to make a deal with me?â
If it wasnât a heaven-grade weapon, he, Wang Mu, wouldnât care at all!
âGreat General Wang, youâre wrong.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âAlthough a heaven-grade weapon is good, it doesnât mean that other weapons arenât.
âMy Great Destroyer Swordâ¦â
âStop! Donât mention your Great Destroyer Sword to me!â Wang Mu shouted.
As soon as Zhou Shu mentioned the Great Destroyer Sword, Wang Mu felt a headache.
No matter how good the Great Destroyer Sword was, it was only a yellow-grade weapon.
As for the results, it was merely one occasion!
Not everyone could sever the arm of a first-rank martial artist with the Great Destroyer Sword!
Even Wang Mu couldnât do it!
But a heaven-grade weapon could unleash 120% of his strength.
This was definitely not something a yellow-grade weapon could match. âFine. I wonât talk about the Great Destroyer Sword.â Zhou Shu looked a little regretful. âGreat General Wang, are you sure you donât want it?
âMy weapon isnât much worse than Great General Mengâs halberd.
âAlthough itâs only a yellow-grade weapon now, if it can be upgraded in the future, it can also become a heaven-grade weapon.â
âUpgrade?â
Not only did Wang Mu raise his voice, but Shi Songtao, who had been listening, also pricked up his ears.
Shi Songtao was a Forging Master. He knew more about forging than Wang Mu and the others.
In theory, weapons could indeed be upgraded.
This was just like humans. Some people were born weak, but they could become stronger through cultivation.
The same was true for weapons. Their internal star paths determined their grades.
In theory, the star paths inside weapons could be expanded.
But a theory was still a theory. It was just like how it was extremely difficult for a person to go from weak to strong. It would only be more difficult for a weapon to be upgraded.
Generally speaking, the cost of upgrading a weapon was greater than the cost of forging a new weapon.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Therefore, very few people would spend so much effort to upgrade a weapon unless it was really worth it.
As far as Shi Songtao knew, there were only a handful of examples of successful upgrades in the recent centuries.
âAre you sure?â Wang Mu frowned.
âOf course. Great General Wang, you might not know me very well.â Zhou Shu smiled. âIâve never failed in forging. Since I dare to say it, Iâm naturally sure. Otherwise, wouldnât I be spoiling my reputation?â
âIf itâs as you say, itâs not impossible for me to take your weapon,â Wang Mu said. âWhere is your weapon?â
âGreat General Wang, please wait a moment.â Zhou Shu got up with a smile and walked toward his tent.
Zhou Shu had spent so much effort convincing Wang Mu not because he liked him.
To be honest, with Wang Muâs status, there were not many opportunities for him to kill enemies personally.
Zhou Shu wanted to pass the weapon to his grandson, Wang Xin, through him!
When he entered the Wang Xin dream, Zhou Shu knew that he was a battle maniac.
He spent most of the year slaying demonic beasts.
What did this mean?
He would be the most diligent worker!
If Zhou Shu went to look for Wang Xin directly, Wang Xin might not believe him, not to mention that he could only forge yellow-grade weapons now.
The weapon that Wang Xin was using now was an earth-grade weapon.
Zhou Shu had fooled around with Wang Mu for a long time to make him believe that the power of a yellow-grade weapon was actually not bad.
Zhou Shu walked into the tent. It was more than an hour before he walked out again.
When he came out, he was carrying a long weapon.
The long weapon was a spear. It was 13 feet 8 inches long. Its entire body was gilded gold and covered with a coiled dragon, and the tip of the spear gleamed coldly in the firelight.
Just by walking over with the spear, the bonfire kept flickering, as if it was about to be extinguished by the cold air emanating from the spear.
âThis is?â Wang Muâs eyes lit up. Although he was good at using swords, he also liked to use spears in battle.
With just a glance at the spear in Zhou Shuâs hand, Wang Mu fell in love with it.
To describe this spear in one word, domineering!
It didnât matter what grade it was or how powerful it was.
But from the looks of it, Wang Mu already liked it!
Exactly. He was this shallow!
Great General Wang had already made up his mind. He had to obtain this spear!
Meng Baiâs breathing quickened. Zhou Shu wants to sell such a domineering spear to an outsider?
If you need money, tell me!
âYou Marquis, if you need money, I can buy this spear,â Meng Bai couldnât help saying. âIâve accumulated some savings over the
yearsââ
âBrother Meng, what do you mean by that? Marquis Zhou is negotiating a deal with me. You are being rude if you want to intercept! You may have money, but I also have money!
âMarquis Zhou, I want this spear, no matter how much it costs!â Wang Mu said earnestly.
Meng Bai didnât care about Wang Muâs teasing and continued, âYou Marquis, weâre on the same sideââ
âMeng Bai! You already have the Heavenly Halberd. Donât be greedy!â Wang Mu said angrily.
Veins popped out on Meng Baiâs forehead. That damned Heavenly Halberd!
Iâve never even seen it!
I just like this spear. Canât I?
The Great Qin general and Great Xiaâs God of War glared at each other like children, not giving in to each other. âGreat Generalâ¦â Zhou Shu couldnât help but speak.
Meng Bai and Wang Mu turned their heads at the same time.
âGreat General Meng,â Zhou Shu said again. âThis spear doesnât suit you. It wonât be able to unleash its full power in your hands.
âItâs more suitable for General Wang.â
Zhou Shu was referring to Wang Xin, but Wang Mu thought he was referring to him.
Wang Mu smiled reassuringly. âDid you hear that? Even the person who forged the weapon said so!
âMarquis Zhou, donât worry. I wonât let this spear down.â
âI thought you said you didnât care for weapons that werenât heaven-grade.â Meng Bai sneered. He was unwilling to refute Zhou Shu in public, but he also couldnât bear to see Wang Muâs smug face.
âDid I say that? I never did,â Wang Mu said.
âMarquis Zhou is right. It depends on who uses a weapon. What kind of person am I? Do I still need a weapon to show my strength? Even if I use a standard weapon, I can still kill enemies!â
As expected of an old general, he was all about practicality. What was pride?
Meng Bai was so angry that he only sneered. What else could he say when facing someone with such thick skin?
Zhou Shu, oh, Zhou Shu, why are you selling such a good weapon to him? Meng Bai complained inwardly.
âMarquis Zhou?â Wang Mu ignored Meng Baiâs sneer and extended his hand to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu understood and casually threw the spear over.
With the spear in hand, Wang Muâs arm sank slightly, and his face revealed surprise. What a heavy spear!
Buzz
Wang Mu shook his wrist, and the spear trembled like a flood dragon emerging from the water, leaving behind afterimages in the air.
Although his spiritual essence had been sealed, he still had his Martial Dao cultivation, and his body was still that of a first-rank martial artist.
With this spear thrust, it could be seen that Wang Muâs attainments in the spear were not something ordinary martial artists could compare to.
Boom!
Wang Mu shook his spear and drove it into the bonfire. Sparks immediately flew everywhere.
Everyone dodged. Meng Bai shouted angrily, âWang Mu!â
Wang Mu didnât care at all and laughed loudly. âGood spear! Marquis Zhou, does this spear have a name? How much does it cost?â
âThis spear is named Overlord Spear. As for the price, General Wang, how much do you think itâs worth?â
