Vice Principal Chen quickly waved his hand,
"I'm not going to fight with you over such a great thing. You said earlier you'd buy them at 50% above market price,
if I were to compete with you, wouldn't that be disrespecting you?
Besides, what use do I, a vice principal, have for such stuff?"
The president of the Great Xia Merchant Guild scowled and said, "If you don't want it, stop babbling!"
Su Mo watched these old men examining his things repeatedly and couldn't help but ask,
"How much do you think these things are worth?"
The City Lord of Celestial City said, "These items are actually quite good—you sure you want to buy them?
Especially this weapon part that adds 50 points to Spirit Attribute;
it can be used on any weapon you choose."
The City Lord of Celestial Wave City showed no mercy, retaliating directly,
"Are you blind? Look, Su's holding such a big Guan Saber—clearly not a Spiritual Series class.
Your words are as pointless as taking off your pants to fart!
Oh, right—Su, I forgot to ask earlier, what profession or awakened talent do you have?"
Su Mo thought for a moment before replying, "I awakened with Extreme Defense; I could ignore all damage for a short time."
"So it's Extreme Defense, huh? Wait, you're a Defense Ability Awakened!!!"
Su Mo wondered, "Is there a problem?"
"It's quite a problem, alright! Shouldn't you, a Defense Ability Awakened, use a shield?
And how did you solo that dungeon with your defense ability?"
Su Mo had already considered such questions, so without hesitation, he responded,
"My ability lets me ignore all damage for a short time,
so I don't need defense—I just need to keep dealing DPS."
An elder from the Trial Hall nodded thoughtfully and said, "Makes a lot of sense!"
"Sense, my foot! Aren't you a Gold-level expert and an elder from the Trial Hall? Do you have any common sense at all?
Skills like this always have a time limit, don't you know?!
Also, a Defense Ability Awakened's attack capabilities are bound to be weak—do you even understand?"
"The rewards are all Spirit-type items, indicating the monsters inside must be Spiritual Series too.
How strong could they be? Su could just ignore damage, swing that saber around wildly, and it would be over.
But you do have a point, so Su, how long does your defense last exactly..."
Vice Principal Chen darkened his face and faced the elder from the Trial Hall, saying directly,
"What are you doing? Is this something you can casually inquire about?"
"Ah-ha-ha, my bad, I was abrupt!"
Seeing another argument about to erupt, the City Lord of Celestial City stepped out and said,
"All right, all right, everybody, calm down—hadn't Su said that
after a little more time, the dungeon grading would finish, and then you could go inside?
Once inside, send someone to try it out, and you'll know.
Don't waste any more time, and hurry up with the price calculation while we wait."
The guild manager's hand produced a golden abacus, flicked it a few times, and looked at Su Mo,
"After a 50% increase, these things total up to 7.8 million; how about I round it up and give you 8 million—sound good?
Here are two cards, one for 3 million, the other 5 million, both with the password 000000, ready for use."
Su Mo gladly accepted the cards—earning here was certainly quick,
after clearing just one dungeon, he gained 600 assignable Free Attribute Points and earned 8 million.
This wasn't even earning money—it was picking up cash with a sack!
Upon receiving the card, Su Mo eagerly looked at the City Lord of Celestial City.
The City Lord of Celestial City laughed awkwardly, "Honestly, this weapon doesn't need repairs anymore,
since the merchant's so generous, how about this: you prefer heavy weapons, right?
Recently, while clearing a dungeon, I acquired a level 60 Blank Horse-cutting Saber—it has no abilities but it's heavy!"
Excited by this, Su Mo asked, "How heavy is it?"
"Three tons!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo's eyes sparkled—three tons; that's a full 6,000 pounds.
With 594 Strength Attribute points, based on projections, his extreme strength should reach 10,000 pounds.
Even with some shortfall, if he allocates the remaining 36 Free Attribute Points to Strength, he'll surely achieve it!
Wielding a 6,000-pound weapon with such strength seems just right.
A bit heavier and it'd be like hitting with cotton, unsatisfying to wield, probably painless for the target too.
Initially, he planned to double it, reaching 3,000 pounds, then sought teachers or others to add weight or additional features.
Even so, he only expected to reach about 5,000 pounds.
Yet, he unexpectedly stumbled upon this pleasant surprise.
Moreover, Horse-cutting Sabers are quite similar to Guan Sabers, but their design is even more imposing.
So, without hesitation, Su Mo said, "Alright, I'll take it!"
"There's no need to rush to accept—while it's a level 60 weapon, you can't yet equip it,
but you can use it without equipping—anyway, you... Wait! You accepted?"
Su Mo nodded, "Yes, I'm taking it!"
The City Lord of Celestial City laughed triumphantly, "You're gutsy, kid!"
With a wave of his hand, a two-and-a-half-meter blade occupying a third of the Horse-cutting Saber appeared before Su Mo.
This saber differed from the Guan Saber—a longer, broader blade lacking the Guan Saber's curvature, more akin to a cleaver.
The blade's mirror-like sheen reflected images clearly, cold air emitting from its surface.
Its blood-red patterns along the grip were formed from some unique wood.
This isn't as ornate as the Guan Saber—no excessive carvings.
But upon seeing it, he felt an extraordinary fondness for this weapon.
Men should wield such weapons!
Swords—they don't chop as satisfyingly!
Seeing Su Mo's expression, the City Lord of Celestial City chuckled, "Go ahead, it's yours once you pick it up!"
Not hesitating, Su Mo moved forward intending to lift it with one hand, reconsidered, and chose both hands.
After all, holding a 6,000-pound weapon single-armed sounds terrifying—and his current level was just 6.
Grabbing the handle with both hands, a cool sensation traveled through his arm into his body, as he exerted force to lift the Horse-cutting Saber.
He then spun it behind him, movements fluid as though a legendary hero!
The City Lord of Celestial City said, "Good! Absolutely impressive, my young friend!"
Vice Principal Chen said, "Our Celestial City school may just have its top student this year! Hahaha!"
The City Lord of Celestial Wave City said, "If you have time, come visit Celestial Wave City!
If you do, I promise I won't trick you with a blank weapon like some certain Celestial City lord!"
