Chu Feng finally turned his sights to the last sword.
The last sword had a peculiar but beautiful design. It looked as if it was forged out of mist, giving it a fleeting appearance, but it did have a tangible body.
It was much more complete than the Coiling Dragon Greatsword and Demon Phoenix Sword. It carried no impurities, and it didnât give off the feeling of separate puzzle pieces being put together. It possessed spirituality too, but it was perfectly harmonized with the sword itself.
This showed that its spirituality didnât come from having a living soul sealed into it. Rather, the sword was made out of natural oddities and naturally formed its own spirituality.
âThis sword is known as the Supreme Cloud Sword. It was forged out of Ancient Era Cloud Spirits. This sword has a gentle nature, making it the easiest to control of the three Exalted Armaments. Itâs lacking in prowess compared to the other two, but itâs still not to be made light of. Its prowess surpasses that of ordinary Exalted Armaments.
âIts greatest strength is that itâs the easiest to wield and control. To be honest with it, the Supreme Cloud Sword is the most popular one among these three Exalted Armaments. Even within our Holy Valley, there are many juniors who hope to acquire this sword.
âOf course, such Exalted Armaments arenât easily given out even to the juniors of our Holy Valley. If young hero Chu Feng is interested in it, this sword is a good option too,â Shengguang Baimei said.
He had intentionally mentioned that the other juniors were interested in this sword but were unable to obtain it in order to further highlight its value.
âItâs indeed a good sword,â Chu Feng remarked as he began examining the three swords once more.
âThis is putting me in a spot. Iâm quite fond of all three swords. I donât know how I should choose amongst these three.â
Chu Feng stroked his lower jaw contemplatively, feigning a conflicted expression.
He was doing this on purpose to test Shengguang Baimei. He didnât think that the latter would attempt to reconcile with him for no reason, and even if he was seeking reconciliation, it didnât make sense for him to take on such a fawning attitude.
There must be a deeper reason for this.
But in any case, Shengguang Baimei was indeed not a good person. Despite his current amicable attitude, there was no denying that he had tried to take Chu Fengâs life earlier on.
Since Shengguang Baimei wanted to make it up to him, Chu Feng didnât think that there was a need for him to hold himself back either. He wanted to squeeze whatever he could get out of Shengguang Baimei.
âThis...â
Shengguang Baimei was put at a loss. He shot a glance at Shengguang Shishen, but the latter looked away scornfully. It was as if Shengguang Shishen was saying âThis is a rare opportunity for you to reconcile with him, so why are you still hesitating here?â
Shengguang Baimei caught Shengguang Shishenâs drift, so he squeezed out a smile and continued.
âIt looks like young hero Chu Feng is fond of all three swords. Since thatâs the case, Iâll gift them all to you,â Shengguang Baimei said.
âYouâre too kind. Since youâre going this far, it would be rude for me to reject your generosity. Iâll be taking them with me then,â Chu Feng replied with a chuckle before grabbing all three swords.
âOf course! They belong to you now, young hero Chu Feng,â Shengguang Baimei replied.
Chu Fengâs smile further widened upon hearing those words. He tossed the Supreme Cloud Sword toward Long Xiaoxiao and said, âXiaoxiao, Iâll give you this sword.â
His gesture shocked everyone, including Long Xiaoxiao.
âYouâre really giving this to me?â
Long Xiaoxiao was a little overwhelmed by the sudden huge gift.
âAm I the type to joke around?â Chu Feng asked back.
âI wonât stand on ceremony then. Thank you. Hehe...â
Long Xiaoxiao revealed a sweet smile. She began to examine the Supreme Cloud Sword with fondness in her eyes, seemingly pleased with the present she had just received.
She didnât like it just because of the swordâs superior quality. She liked it because it was a gift from Chu Feng.
âThis fellow...â
However, those from the Holy Valley looked a little conflicted upon seeing Chu Feng giving the sword away to Long Xiaoxiao so easily.
Those were top-quality swords that not even the elders of the Holy Valley were qualified to wield. They could understand it if they were going into the hands of a prodigy of Chu Fengâs caliber, but Chu Feng gave one of them away to Long Xiaoxiao.
They felt displeased because they didnât think that Long Xiaoxiao was worthy of the Supreme Cloud Sword.
However, Shengguang Baimei had already given the sword to Chu Feng, so they werenât in a good position to say anything about it. Otherwise, their attempt at reconciliation would be rendered futile.
Chu Feng did notice the reactions from the crowd, but he wasnât bothered by it. He was doing it on purpose, after all.
The three swords were indeed powerful, but the only ones that suited him were the Coiling Dragon Greatsword and the Demon Phoenix Sword. He thought that the Supreme Cloud Sword was more suited for women.
He knew that the Holy Valley would be displeased if he gave it away to Long Xiaoxiao just like that, but he chose to do so anyway. It was not like they could say anything since those swords were already his now.
On the contrary, it could spell trouble if Chu Feng were to give it to her in private. If they saw Long Xiaoxiao wielding the sword in the future, they might just try to snatch it away from her under the pretext that she had stolen the sword from Chu Feng.
After all, most people wouldnât think of giving away something as valuable as an Exalted Armament to another person, no matter how close they were. Not to mention, the proud Holy Valley couldnât possibly allow an outsider to use their weapons easily.
The Dragon Clan might be respected in the Holy Light Galaxy, but in the eyes of the Holy Valley, it was probably no more than a small village of peasants.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYoung hero Chu Feng, as a symbol of our goodwill and apology, we have also prepared another gift for you. Weâre intending to open our Holy Light Martial Skills Compendium to you,â Shengguang Baimei said.
âLord Baimei, such a promise canât be taken lightly. You canât renege on your words,â Daoist Niantian chirped in before Chu Feng could say anything at all.
It looked like he was worried that Shengguang Baimei would back down on his offer.
âIt goes without saying that I mean what I say,â Shengguang Baimei replied.
âLord Baimei, Lord Shishen, are you serious about opening the Holy Light Martial Skills Compendium?â Shengguang Menglai suddenly spoke up.
Based on her tone, it didnât seem like she agreed with this decision.
âMiss Menglai, Baimei and I have the right to decide on this matter while the Holy Monarch is in closed-door training,â Shengguang Shishen said.
Be it choosing from the Exalted Armaments or opening the Holy Light Martial Skills Compendium, these were decisions that the two of them had decided on after discussion.
Shengguang Shishen didnât like how Shengguang Baimei operated, and there was quite a bit of ill-will between the two of them. However, as fellow members of the Holy Valley, he still wished the best for Shengguang Baimei. If Shengguang Baimei couldnât resolve this problem well, there was no saying what Chu Fengâs backing would do to him.
Not to mention, Shengguang Baimeiâs relationship with Chu Feng also dictated the Holy Valleyâs relationship with Chu Feng.
It was for this reason that they were offering so many things to Chu Feng.
However, it would appear that Shengguang Menglai wasnât willing to let Chu Feng enter their Martial Skills Compendium. This did complicate things a little.
