118 The S-class Blood Emperor Battle Saber!
The hall of the Southern Star Dojo was already filled with people early in the morning. When they heard that Mei Chaorong had broken through, the cultivators of the Southern Star Dojo were naturally ecstatic and rushed to congratulate her profusely.
After all, the stronger Mei Chaorong was, the greater their chances of winning against Lu Yu, and the safer they would be.
“Congratulations, Senior Mei. Your cultivation has advanced another step beyond your peak. To be able to achieve another breakthrough in the Grand Master realm, you are considered one in a million.”
“That’s right. I think Senior Mei has a chance of breaking through to the Great Grand Master level.”
The elders of the Southern Star Dojo flattered the other party so outrageously that their faces were almost plastered to the ass they were kissing.
Seeing this, Gudu Feng gave a scornful snort and said, “Alright, don’t talk so much nonsense if you can avoid it.”
The elders of the Southern Star Dojo smiled apologetically and they appeared very awkward. Xian Xingmeng took a step forward and said with a smile, “Senior Mei is able to break through because her talent far exceeds ours. We are only stating the fact.”
“What a glib tongue you have. Forget it, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll accept all this nonsense.”
Mei Chaorong was in a very good mood. For more than thirty years, she had not broken through. In one day, she had broken through to the Grand Master level 6. She was only one step away from becoming an Advance Grand Master. As for her husband, Gudu Feng, he had already become an Advance Grand Master ten years ago.
With their age, they might really have a chance to break through to the Great Grand Master realm in the future.
Mei Chaorong said, “Speaking of which, I was able to break through because of your dojo’s Star Shifting Steps. I obtained enlightenment and so was able to break through. As a gift, I’ll leave a sword technique in your dojo.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Southern Star Dojo was extremely excited.
This was a sword technique that a Grand Master possessed, so it had to be extraordinarily powerful. From now on, the Southern Star Dojo had added another cornerstone to their foundation.
Xian Xingmeng immediately said, “Such kindness is like being reborn. Your junior hereby gives sincere thanks to Senior’s great kindness.”
Mei Chaorong immediately engraved the sword technique on a stone tablet. The elders of the Southern Star Dojo comprehended the profundity within, and their eyes lit up intermittently.
“Hahaha... With this sword technique, our Southern Star Dojo will definitely prosper in the future!”
An elder laughed excitedly. As for Lu Yu, he was not worth mentioning at all. He would probably be defeated the moment he crossed swords with the present Demonic Duo Swordsmen.
Looking at the time, there was only one day left to the challenge set for three days later. At West Universe Dojo’s side, although Qin Jiancheng’s cultivation had not improved much, with Jiang Yunhu’s full support, he had consumed a large pile of medicinal pills.
The health vitality in his body had also become much more vigorous. He was no longer withered, looking as if he had been reborn.
Qin Jiancheng was moved to tears. “This sort of feeling, where my health vitality is brimming, has returned. I have not felt this sensation for thirty-four years now.”
Jiang Yunhu cupped his hands respectfully and congratulated him. “Old Qin, congratulations. You’re still as strong as ever. I believe it won’t be long before you return to your peak strength.”
“No, no. I know very well what my situation is. I’m already satisfied to be able to recover to this extent. The day after tomorrow, I want to see how strong that Lu Yu is.”
A piercing fierce look burst forth from Qin Jiancheng’s eyes.
This was the first time he had heard that Lu Yu had suddenly awakened his talent at the age of 90. Within a year, he had broken through from the level of a Martial Arts Warrior to a Grand Master. This kind of speed amazed him and he yearned to have a big fight with this late bloomer.
Qin Jiancheng continued with his meditation in seclusion, trying to recover more health vitality before the final battle.
At this moment, a trusted aide beside Jiang Yunhu said in a low voice, “Dojo Master, we’ve spent so many medicinal pills just to help a Grand Master whose foundation has been damaged and who is destined to have no hope of breaking through in the future. Is this worth it?”
“Of course it’s worth it!”
Jiang Yunhu’s smile faded and his expression gradually turned icy cold. “Giving up a Grand Master whose days are numbered in exchange for the life of a Grand Master with a limitless future. There’s no better deal than this in this world.”
His trusted aide’s eyes widened. What did he mean by his days were numbered? Even if Qin Jiancheng’s foundation was damaged and his health vitality was declining, according to his predictions, he should still have more than ten years to live.
At this moment, he seemed to understand and said in surprise, “Dojo Master, you mean...”
“Hmph! After eating so many of my pills, it’s time for him to display his greatest value. At that point, regardless of whether he wins or loses this battle, he will welcome a glorious end.”
Jiang Yunhu’s sinister tone made even his trusted aide of many years shudder.
Jiang Yunhu said menacingly, “Only the heavens and earth, you and I know about this matter. If a third person finds out, you know the consequences.”
The trusted aide trembled in fear. He fell to the ground on his knees and swore, “If I dare to betray the Dojo Master, I will die a horrible death.”
On the other side,
Chu Qinglin had sent back news that the reforging of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber had been completed, much earlier than Lu Yu had expected. This made Lu Yu extremely excited.
Immediately, he rushed to Chu Qingling’s place to retrieve the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
The reforged Blood Emperor Battle Saber had undergone some changes compared to its earlier state. The hilt was embedded with the crystal core of the Skyfire Red Lion. Once it was injected with true energy, it would become scorching hot, emitting an unbearably flaming hot aura.
On the blade, lines of lava-like patterns quickly spread out. Holding it in his hand was like holding a branding iron.
[Blood Emperor Battle Saber]
[Level: S-class]
[Introduction: After being reforged by the blacksmith Chu Qinglin and embedded with the crystal core of the Skyfire Red Lion, it has been completely repaired in all aspects and has returned to its former peak. However, it has turned into a fire-attribute weapon!]
This saber that had performed brilliantly in the Holy War before falling in grade. Now it had finally returned to its former glory.
Sensing the surging and roiling fire-attribute aura contained within the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, Lu Yu was overjoyed. With another S-class weapon, he was like a tiger which had been given wings, and his strength increased massively.
Lu Yu began to test the power of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber on the spot.
The moment he injected his true energy, a burst of scarlet saber energy erupted. The air was filled with a scorching aura, as if one was standing inside a steamer.
The saber energy had yet to be completely released, yet the grass ten meters away was already charred yellow and the vegetation had withered.
“Rascal, are you trying to set my shop on fire?”
Chu Qinglin quickly extinguished the burning curtain and glared at Lu Yu with his ferocious eyes.
Lu Yu sensed that the saber energy had retracted and said apologetically, “I was too excited and didn’t consider it thoroughly. Uncle Qinglin, please forgive this junior here.”
As a result, Chu Qinglin’s anger dissipated significantly. He inquired, “How do you feel about this reforged Blood Emperor Battle Saber?”
Lu Yu said with heartfelt admiration, “Very strong, possibly more than a hundred times stronger than before. Uncle Qinglin is indeed one of the top-notch blacksmiths.”
