Chapter 105 - You Are So Rusty
Chapter 105: You Are So Rusty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Holding the rusty knife in his hand, Feng Xia could not help but feel dumbfounded.
After an unknown period of time, he reached out in a daze with his other hand and gently touched the blade of the butcher knife. The feel of tiny potholes clearly told him something.
You are really too rusty.
“This knife can’t have become useless just like that, right?”
Feng Xia opened his mouth speechlessly. He raised the butcher knife and inspected it carefully. At this moment, the sun outside was already setting. Under the twilight, the rust on the knife seemed to have deepened in color, as if it was stained with the blood of time.
He tried to inject magical power into the knife. Suddenly, he exclaimed softly and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The magical power he infused into the butcher knife simply disappeared without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea!
It did not dissipate nor leak out, nor did it damage the blade. Instead, it seemed to have dropped into an endless black abyss and was directly devoured by the butcher knife.
“By right, if this is a damaged magic weapon, such a situation will not happen…”
Feng Xia racked his mind for the tiny bit of magic weapon knowledge that he had, trying to come up with the most reasonable explanation for the current situation.?This, that, here, there, the sky, the earth, the five elements, the six directions, the seven stars, the eight desolations…
In short—
“Perhaps this knife is not completely hopeless? Or perhaps it’s not that something happened to the knife, but there’s another possibility…”
After the blade was covered in rust, the terrifying murderous aura emitted by the butcher knife also seemed to have disappeared . This was what allowed Feng Xia to easily brandish the ferocious knife and even use his magical power to do whatever he wanted to it.
“Inject 10% magical power…”
“Inject 30% magical power!”
“70% magical power!”
Feng Xia’s majestic magical power erupted. His hair stood on end and the white robe on his body fluttered. Behind his head, a dark and strange Mystical Wheel appeared. In the Mystical Wheel, green lotuses bloomed and two small Dao Platforms floated.
“100%!”
Feng Xia roared, and the surging magical power poured into the butcher knife at this moment, intending to fill up this bottomless abyss!
However… it was still not enough!
“Youniang, do me a favor!”
Feng Xia turned around with much difficulty and yelled at the young girl in the distance. However, even before that, a slender hand had reached out and grabbed the hilt of the butcher knife.
Whoosh—
The surging torrent of magical power turned into a silent roar.
Before Zhu Youniang gained sentience and transformed into a human, she was originally a demonic beast and had a shocking amount of accumulation. This led to the current situation whereby even though her current cultivation level was not high, the quantity and strength of her magical power far exceeded her peers. It was not at all inferior to a cultivator at the first or second level of the Dao Platform Realm.
With Zhu Youniang’s help, Feng Xia finally sensed a faint reaction from the ferocious knife in his hand!
The rust on the blade had peeled off slightly and a blinding chilly light flashed. The ground suddenly cracked and the entire butcher shop was cut into two by the knife!
A visible grayish-black fog lingered on the shattered surface, twisting and distorting, emanating a disturbing vicious aura.
“Wow—”
Zhu Youniang immediately exclaimed, “Xia, it’s so fast!”
Feng Xia always felt that there was something fishy about this girl’s catchphrases.
“If that’s the case, the knife is not useless. It’s a situation of a divine item hiding itself.” After carefully examining the huge knife mark on the ground as well as the rusty butcher knife, Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief. “After spending so much effort, if all I get in the end is a pile of scrap metal, I really don’t know where I can go to cry…”
However, Feng Xia also felt annoyed by this matter of the divine item trying to hide itself.
It was said that divine items had spirits and would choose their own masters. If they did not know who their masters were, the divine items would automatically seal themselves up. Why were all the divine items’ spirits so aloof? Were there no divine items that liked to bootlick?
Since there were divine items that wanted to keep themselves hidden, there should be divine items that liked to hype themselves up. This would make more sense!
“Sigh, forget it. I guess I won’t be able to encounter that kind of divine item.”
After a while, Feng Xia composed himself and went to the clothing store again.
However, no matter whether he took out the letter left behind by Tu Kuo or the butcher knife that had sealed itself up, there was no reaction from the lady boss. It was as if she did not recognize these two things at all.
“Strange, there’s Tu Kuo’s handwriting in the letter and the butcher knife is Tu Kuo’s intrinsic weapon. There was nothing more obvious that I could do. Why didn’t she react at all?”
The two of them had left the clothing store after bidding farewell to the lady boss.
They had just taken a few steps when Zhu Youniang suddenly said, “Xia, why didn’t the lady boss come out to meet us the few times we went to that shop?”
Feng Xia shook his head and said with a smile, “Didn’t the lady boss say it the first time we went? She said that she looks a little scary, so she always stays behind the screen and rarely shows her true face.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Zhu Youniang tilted her head and thought for a moment. She stretched out her hand and gestured. “When we went there the last few times, there was no one behind that screen at all. The lady boss’s voice also came directly from the screen.”
Feng Xia’s body trembled and he cried out, “You said there’s no one behind the screen?!”
He had always thought…
The lady boss of the clothing store was the only “human” on this ancient street so far!
In the end, Zhu Youniang told him that there was no one behind the screen all this time?
“Then… then who talked to us? Who made our clothes?!”
“Of course it’s the lady boss. Who else can it be? Xia, you can’t even understand this?”
“???”
Was Zhu Youniang looking down on his intelligence?!
Feng Xia gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. “Let’s go back again! I want to see who’s been talking to us!”
…
“Another lesson is over.”
The classroom that had been sealed for countless years was empty, except for a young man in plain clothes who suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked around for a moment before recovering from his daze.
The young man’s looks were not outstanding, but his eyes were extremely deep set, as if there was a vast sea of stars hidden in the depths of his eyes.
“The world’s spiritual source is about to be completely exhausted. Various factions are plundering the last treasures in the world and moving out of here overnight. However, in the end, none of us can leave, even though we’re the ones who are robbed.”
“They all say they’ll come back, but none of them does.”
He took a deep breath and stood up from his desk. He glanced at the seat next to him and imagined himself being sent flying during a fight.
“As expected of the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom…”
“If I go there a couple more times, I should be able to cultivate the Nature Mankind Sword Diagram. Unfortunately, although the Heavenly Pattern Divine Fetus Chronicle is good, there isn’t enough spiritual qi in this world. If I don’t modify it, I won’t be able to successfully cultivate it…”
The young man muttered to himself. His expression gradually became more animated as he walked out.
“Speaking of which, Mo Hao should be back soon.”
“If I teach him the Heavenly Pattern Divine Fetus Chronicle that I have learned, he will most likely be able to perfect his Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique!”
