"What kind of weapon is this? The Sword Qi it shoots out is comparable to an attack from a Soul Elder," Zhao Wuji said in shock.
A weapon that could shoot out Sword Qi was unheard of. If someone had such a sword, wouldn't all types of Soul Masters be able to become battle Soul Masters?
This was truly terrifying!
Tang San was equally shocked, but not by the power of the Sword Qi emitted by the longsword. If it was about power, he was confident that his Hidden Weapons were more potent.
The Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons Compendium contained many powerful Hidden Weapons that he couldn't make yet. If he could create the top few, their power would be unstoppable, even capable of killing a Title Douluo.
So, he wasn't too concerned about the sword's power. What shocked him was how Ao Tian had forged such a miraculous object. He had never heard of this forging method. Infusing Soul Power into the longsword to trigger Sword Qi was simply too magical.
He returned the longsword to Ao Tian and asked, "Ao Tian, how did you make this longsword capable of emitting Sword Qi?"
Ao Tian glanced at Tang San and asked, "Do you think I'd just tell you a secret like that?"
Tang San was taken aback, then realized that this forging technique was as precious as the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons blueprints. How could it be revealed so easily?
"My apologies for being so abrupt," he said apologetically.
"Alright, no more dawdling. Let's keep moving," Zhao Wuji commanded.
He'd been somewhat interested in Ao Tian's sword a moment ago, but after watching Tang San examine it for a while, his interest waned. Although the weapon could emit Sword Qi, it wasn't very significant for a battle Soul Master, since they already had attack Soul Skills. Moreover, the sword's power wasn't that great, and using it would hinder the use of Soul Skills.
Such a weapon would only be attractive to auxiliary Soul Masters, healing Soul Masters, and control Soul Masters, who didn't have much offensive power.
Ning Rongrong's gaze remained fixed on the gleaming golden sword, never once wavering.
The sword held immense appeal for her. Aside from its alluring power, its appearance was exquisite, like a perfect work of art.
Girls all adore shiny treasures, and she was no exception, especially when it came to something that combined beauty and functionality, which had a huge impact on her.
She also really wanted to ask Ao Tian to take a look, but Zhao Wuji had already spoken, so she had to give up on the idea. She figured she'd ask Ao Tian to let her play with it during the break.
If possible, she was willing to spend a lot of money to buy this sword.
During the rest of the journey, Ning Rongrong kept glancing at the longsword Ao Tian was wielding.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of Soul Beasts, some solitary, some in groups. Each time, Tang San was the first to speak, accurately calling out the Soul Beast's name, then describing its characteristics, and finally suggesting that they detour and leave.
Tang San's extensive knowledge left Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Zhao Wuji incredibly surprised. They wondered how many books he must have read to have such a detailed understanding of these Soul Beasts.
Oscar asked in confusion, "Tang San, the Soul Beasts we encountered just now weren't that strong for us. Why didn't we just attack and kill them, but instead went around?"
Tang San's face was filled with confidence, and he smiled slightly, "Soul Beasts are essential for human Soul Masters to cultivate. If everyone just kills them on sight, in a few years, the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest will become extinct. My teacher said that one shouldn't be too selfish. We have to consider the future generations. For our descendants to have Soul Beasts to hunt, we can't kill indiscriminately, only hunting those we need."
Everyone, except Ao Tian, failed to notice that when Tang San finished speaking, Gu Yue Na's body trembled uncontrollably. A surge of immense killing intent erupted from her, but Ao Tian sealed it before it could leave her body.
Xiao Wu couldn't help herself either, and questioned, "Tang San, do you consider Soul Beasts to be livestock raised by humans? You want to hunt Soul Beasts for generations to come?"
Her anger surged, and her face flushed red.
She had already convinced herself to join the team and hunt Soul Beasts this time, but hearing Tang San's words, which essentially treated Soul Beasts as livestock, made her anger unbearable.
Except for Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na, everyone looked at the enraged Xiao Wu with surprise.
Tang San shook his head and said, "I didn't say that Soul Beasts are livestock raised by humans. They are a valuable resource for human cultivation, so we can't waste resources. While we hunt them, we must also provide some protection to ensure the sustainable development of Soul Masters…"
"You…"
"Alright, what's the point of arguing about this? Soul Beasts should be killed by humans and become Soul Rings for humans. That's the natural order!" Zhao Wuji shouted loudly, interrupting Xiao Wu.
He looked up at the sun through the gaps in the leaves and said, "It's already noon. There's a small clearing up ahead. Let's go there and rest. Whoever argues again, I'll leave them here to feed the Soul Beasts!"
Gu Yue Na embraced the agitated Xiao Wu and followed Ao Tian as they walked forward. The group arrived at an open space and sat down.
"Xiao Wu, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing approached and asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Xiao Wu replied, though her gaze towards Tang San and Zhao Wuji was far from friendly.
As she was still fuming, Ao Tian's voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "Don't be angry. I'll make Zhao Wuji pay a heavy price in this Star Dou Great Forest."
Xiao Wu turned to look at Ao Tian and saw him offering her several carrot pastries.
Xiao Wu pouted and took them, then began to munch on them fiercely, her eyes glaring menacingly at Tang San.
"Ao Tian, can I see your sword?" Ning Rongrong came over and stood in front of Ao Tian.
Ao Tian sat on the ground, looking up at Ning Rongrong, who looked gentle on the outside but was actually a little devil inside. "Here," he said.
He handed the sword beside him to Ning Rongrong.
"Thank you." Ning Rongrong excitedly picked up the golden sword, her fair and slender fingers caressing the blade.
With a thought, she released her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Holding it, a strong attraction emanated from the golden sword.
"This… this…" She was stunned.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Martial Soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, possessed the ability to appraise treasures. The value of Ao Tian's sword exceeded her imagination. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had countless treasures, yet none could compare to Ao Tian's sword.
Ning Rongrong was delighted and quickly asked, "Ao Tian, can you sell this sword to me?"
Ao Tian shook his head, smiling, "Sorry, I'm not selling it."
"Why?" Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.
"Because you can't afford it," Ao Tian replied calmly.
"Actually… I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master. If you sell this sword to me, I can recommend you to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"No need," Ao Tian shook his head.
"Then, what conditions do you want to sell it to me?"
Ao Tian glanced at Ning Rongrong's body and said, "Even if you sell yourself to me as a maid, you still can't afford this sword."
