Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart after hearing this and looked at the broken blade.
"Uncle Wang, do you an... this sword is the Martial Spirit Relic?"
The broken blade was less than two feet long, with an antiquated hilt wrapped in hemp rope. The blade’s material was unknown, and it bore bloodstains resembling rust.
Wang Lishan gently stroked the blade, and the broken blade emitted a soft hum.
He then said:
"That’s right, this blade... is the Martial Spirit Relic I promised to give you!"
Lin Chen took the broken blade, yet no matter how he looked at it, he felt it was made of ordinary refined iron, not even qualifying as an exotic tal weapon.
Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Wang Lishan explained:
"This blade is indeed made of ordinary refined iron... but its power lies not in the blade itself, but in the Blade Spirit!"
"Or rather... the soul of this blade is the true Martial Spirit Relic!"
"Blade Spirit? Is it an Artifact Spirit..." Lin Chen was taken aback, wasn’t Artifact Spirit sothing from the Cultivation Realm?
How does Blue Star have it as well?
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Wang Lishan’s eyes as he recounted softly.
"The owner of this blade was a Martial Spirit Powerhouse from a century ago, and also my dear friend back then..."
"He battled throughout his life, slaying countless demon beasts. Yet he never awakened his Martial Spirit his entire life..."
"Until that year, during the cataclysm in the Martial Realm, when countless terrifying demon beasts besieged the human martial artists’ base. My dear friend fought till exhaustion and died."
"It was not until his dying mont that he finally awakened his Martial Spirit... and integrated it into this broken blade he first used!"
Pausing for a mont, Wang Lishan continued:
"A blade is emotionless, but a person has a spirit!"
"My friend’s soul rged with the blade... thus granting this blade its extraordinary qualities!"
"This blade can connect with its owner’s mind, and although it’s made of ordinary material, it can still harm even a Demon King!"
Lin Chen remained silent upon hearing this, gently stroking the blade with his fingertips.
In Wang Lishan’s sparse words, he seed to glimpse the life of that Martial Spirit Powerhouse.
A lifeti of battles, only to fall in the end.
In his dying monts, the Martial Spirit awakened and fused with the blade...
Even after death, he continued fighting for humanity!
Lin Chen took a deep breath, feeling moved as he asked:
"Uncle Wang, what is the na of this sword?"
Wang Lishan solemnly replied:
"This blade is nad... Demon Slayer!"
The mont the na Demon Slayer was ntioned, Lin Chen’s heart shook.
The broken blade in his hand emitted a mournful hum.
"This na is very fitting..." Lin Chen said softly.
With the broken blade in hand, Lin Chen felt a surge of grandeur rising within him.
He knew this was the power of the Demon-slaying Blade, granting its bearer imnse courage.
Even when facing a Demon King, fear would not rise in his heart.
"I have mastered the Lin Family’s Three Blades... this Demon-slaying Blade is just right for !" Lin Chen solemnly tied the broken blade at his waist.
...
Three days passed since Lin Chen obtained the Demon-slaying Blade.
On this day, Lin Chen ca to the training room in the Martial Arts Palace.
In front of the speed testing instrunt, Lin Chen’s figure dashed frantically, almost becoming an afterimage.
A string of numbers appeared on the instrunt.
"37.8 ters per second... 38.5 ters per second!"
After testing for a while, Lin Chen nodded and said:
"My speed has increased a bit... now, I comfortably surpass the speed of a warrior-level!"
Like the martial artist rank, the warrior rank is also divided into Basic, Middle, and High levels.
The standard for a Basic-level warrior is a peak running speed exceeding 35 ters per second.
After testing speed, Lin Chen moved to the power testing instrunt.
He combined the power of his waist and hips, and his strength sank... he punched out!
"2647 kg!"
Seeing the power displayed on the instrunt, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"The standard for a Basic-level warrior is 2000 kg, I do exceed it by quite a lot!"
He glanced at the Qi and Blood Value on his arm—55 points!
For two weeks, Lin Chen had not neglected his practice of the Breathing Technique.
The spiritual food from the Cultivation Realm, along with a special environnt beneficial for Martial Path advancent, allowed Lin Chen to progress rapidly in his martial path.
He had long surpassed the 45-point Qi and Blood standard for a Basic-level warrior and was even not far from the 60-point Qi and Blood standard for a Middle-level warrior.
"Hmm, my fundantal strength isn’t weak... so how much power can I exert with the Vibrating Blade?"
Lin Chen was eager to try, holding the Demon-slaying Blade as he stood in front of the power testing instrunt.
Gathering strength, the blade lightly trembled!
Boom!
A line of numbers appeared on the instrunt once more.
"7676 kg!"
With the help of the Vibrating Blade, Lin Chen was now able to strike with three tis his fundantal strength.
With one slash, even a brick house could be cut down!
"With my current martial arts skills... is it possible to take on a Qi Refining Late Period cultivator?"
Lin Chen speculated in his mind.
If it were close combat, with a blade in hand, Lin Chen was confident he could kill a typical Qi Refining Late Period cultivator within three strikes.
"However, for a martial artist against a cultivator, close combat opportunities are hard to co by... the true test is their True Essence Fighting Technique capability!"
With a slight shift in his mind, Lin Chen released his True Essence Magical Power of the Qi Refining Middle Stage.
The Demon-slaying Blade hovered in the air, surrounded by an invisible force that supported it.
Then, the Demon-slaying Blade rushed toward the power instrunt at an extrely fast speed, almost becoming an afterimage.
Boom!
After another loud boom, an astonishing number appeared on the instrunt.
"10086 kg!"
This single slash exceeded ten thousand kilograms in strike power!
"Gathering True Essence, controlling the blade with Qi!"
"This move is my most powerful offensive technique currently!"
Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. With just this blade’s power, he was confident he could slash down any cultivator below the Foundation Establishnt Stage!
However, this move greatly exhausted Lin Chen.
"Just one slash, and it almost consud a third of my True Essence?"
Lin Chen displayed a wry smile, feeling that his Qi Refining Middle Period magical power was still too weak.
Even though he had cultivated the Qi-Gathering Technique to Great Success, and his Spirit Manipulation Skill had reached Minor Achievent.
But with his current strength, he feared he couldn’t slash a second ti in short order...
"This move shall be called the Demon-slaying Flying Blade!"
Lin Chen murmured to himself.
"However, I probably won’t encounter a situation that forces to use this blade..."
Not to ntion that he was safe within the Changchun Sect, even in the face of threats.
The enemies would also have to contend with various high-tech weapons from Blue Star.
Such as grenades, nanobombs, almost half of these were stored in Lin Chen’s Storage Bag.
After finishing the power test, Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.
hours and 16 minutes.
The next cross-dinsional journey was imminent.
Leaving the training room, Lin Chen headed to the room where he planned to travel.
...
Martial Arts Palace, Space-Ti Room.
As the journey was about to begin, Wang Lishan handed Lin Chen a wooden box.
"Open it, inside the wooden box are the things you wanted before..."
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen felt a twinge of emotion and opened the wooden box to find more than a dozen fist-sized black bombs inside.
The bombs looked simple in appearance, resembling handmade grenades.
"Didn’t you say last ti that the Cultivation Realm also had bombs called Five Thunders?"
"After you brought the design for the Five Thunders last ti, we made a batch of replicas based on that appearance... of course, these grenades are essentially products of gunpowder and technology."
"As for their power... if they explode at close range, they might kill an ordinary warrior?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
These rustic black bombs were exactly what he needed.
With decent power, enough to threaten Qi Refining Late Period cultivators, and from their appearance, they looked like Artifact Refining products from the Cultivation Realm.
Indeed, Lin Chen didn’t want these bombs for his use; rather, he planned to impersonate the Five Thunders and sell them in the marketplace.
He was running low on Spirit Stones and urgently needed to sell a batch of goods to earn Spirit Stones for his cultivation.
Right now, these "Five Thunders" were just perfect.
They wouldn’t attract too much attention yet were valuable.
"Excellent, these Five Thunders are exactly what I need!"
Lin Chen placed the wooden box into the Nanobag, a smile appearing on his face.
"Uncle Wang, if everything goes well... I should be able to earn a significant amount of Spirit Stones this ti."
"I should also have enough surplus to get myself a set of mini Spirit Gathering Arrays!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s plan, Wang Lishan’s expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"That would be wonderful!"
The return of the Spirit Gathering Array is of great significance... it indicates that Spiritual Energy will begin to flow from the Cultivation Realm to Blue Star!
As the journey approached, Lin Chen gave his equipnt one final check.
The countdown on his arm was nearing zero.
"Three, two..."
"One!"
