Chapter 148: Chapter 65: The Hidden Dragon Lies in the Abyss, Must Not Be Offended Too Much!_2

Therefore, the Weapon Forging Shop now only has one main and one deputy shopkeeper.

The man surnamed Qiu in front of him was the main shopkeeper.

And he, Yang Kai, was merely the current deputy shopkeeper of the Weapon Forging Shop.

In the Weapon Forging Shop, he still had to follow the orders of the man surnamed Qiu in front of him.

“Hmm!” the man surnamed Qiu nodded, then said, “Did anything important happen today in the shop?”

...

“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded, then continued, “Today Jiang Ning from the Canglang Martial Arts Hall came to the Weapon Forging Shop.”

“Is it him?” the man surnamed Qiu was slightly surprised, then said, “This afternoon I went to the Canglang Martial Arts Hall and attended Wang Jin’s apprenticeship banquet; I saw this person.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai asked, “Then, Brother Qiu, what do you think of this youngster? Do you feel he has a lot of potential for the future?”

“What do you mean by that?” the man surnamed Qiu frowned and looked at Yang Kai.

Immediately his face darkened, “And then you followed Elder Gong’s rules again, giving this youngster a valuable divine weapon?”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “These are the rules set by Elder Gong when he founded the Weapon Forging Shop, naturally, I must carry them out!”

“Yang Kai!” the man surnamed Qiu’s eyes narrowed sternly, and his voice suddenly rose, “I’m the shopkeeper now, and I’ve said that rule should have been abolished long ago!!”

“In this world, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself!”

“With money, one can buy precious medicines and quickly enhance one’s power.”

“In this world, only one’s own strength is the most reliable!”

“I’m saying this for the last time!”

When he spoke these last words, the man surnamed Qiu’s tone was extremely stern, and his eyes were filled with a fierce energy.

Yang Kai watched him in silence, the atmosphere in the room oppressively quiet, without a sound.

Only the sound of the bellows from the back courtyard’s furnace could be heard.

After a long while, Yang Kai slowly nodded.

“Fine!”

“We’ll let it go this time! This will not happen again!” the man surnamed Qiu said sternly.

Then,

he asked, “Did you give that kid the divine weapon from the underground armory this afternoon?”

Yang Kai replied truthfully, “It was the spiritual weapon stored in the armory!”

“A spiritual weapon, which spiritual weapon?” the man surnamed Qiu was slightly taken aback.

The next moment, as if he had realized something, he said, “Is it that spiritual weapon?”

“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.

Hearing this, the man surnamed Qiu frowned slightly.

“Although that thing isn’t very useful, just a chicken rib, why would he want that thing?”

“Could it be he has something special, discovered some secret within that spiritual weapon?”

He muttered to himself then turned to ask Yang Kai, “This afternoon, did you notice anything unusual about that spiritual weapon?”

Upon hearing the question, Yang Kai nodded slowly.

“Yes!!”

“What unusual?” the man surnamed Qiu pressed.

Yang Kai said, “He pulled out the blade of the spiritual weapon.”

“What?” the man surnamed Qiu’s eyes widened in shock, “What did you say!!!”

Seeing the expression on the man surnamed Qiu’s face, Yang Kai suddenly felt uneasy.

But the matter had come to this point, and he could only speak up, “Jiang Ning, he pulled out the blade.”

“Pulled out the blade? He actually pulled out the blade!!!” the man surnamed Qiu’s breathing became hurried.

As the new shopkeeper of the Weapon Forging Shop, he naturally knew everything about that spiritual weapon.

It was a spiritual weapon passed down from Ancient Times, made of extraordinary material. It had withstood the erosion of time without any external change.

Moreover, it was indestructible; neither fierce fire could reshape it, nor could heavy hammer blows cause any change.

However, in their eyes, it was nothing more than an utterly useless chicken rib because nobody could draw the blade from its sheath.

A sword that couldn’t be used, even if made of great material, was essentially nothing more than a fire poker.

He had also always believed that with the demise of immortals and the change of eras, no one could wield these so-called spiritual weapons.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard what Yang Kai had said.

Jiang Ning had managed to draw the blade from its sheath.

Knowing this news, the man surnamed Qiu’s breathing grew even more rapid.

Then, unable to contain his anger, he said, “Since you saw him draw the blade, why did you still give the sword to him?”

“Do you not realize how valuable a functional spiritual weapon is?”

“It has an invaluable worth, priceless!”

“Yet you gave that spiritual weapon to that young kid.”

Yang Kai said, “After he managed to draw the blade, I tried myself. No matter how hard I tried, the blade and the scabbard remained as if they were one; I couldn’t budge it in the slightest; it was no different than before.”

“This means the spiritual weapon has a spirit; it recognizes only Jiang Ning. It’s useless for us to keep it.”

“If that’s the case, why not give it to Jiang Ning? It would be a way to turn trash to treasure, and also have him owe us a favor.”

“I have high hopes for his future. If he becomes a top-tier expert someday, then the value of this favor could be equivalent to a fortune.”

“Bullshit!” Brother Qiu, a burly man, roared with anger, “A top-tier expert, Martial Arts Fourth Grade! What makes him think he can achieve that? To place our hopes on him is ludicrous!”

Then Brother Qiu continued, “The fact that he was able to unsheathe the sword indicates that this spiritual weapon is not a mere trifle, but a treasure of immeasurable value. We must get it back.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown, “Since when does one take back something that’s already been given out?”

Brother Qiu replied, “I say it does!”

He went on, “You come with me, and together we’ll demand its return from that boy.”

“This… might not be a good idea,” Yang Kai frowned and slightly shook his head.

“Quit your yapping!” Brother Qiu shouted, “How can we just give away something of immeasurable value to that kid for free.”

“Let’s go!!” Brother Qiu glared fiercely at Yang Kai.

Seeing this, Yang Kai sighed faintly and quickly followed Brother Qiu’s steps.

…

The moon was hanging high.

[…]

After refining his skin, Jiang Ning continued practicing boxing.

The Five Animals Fist was the foundation of his Martial Arts.

It was a boxing technique that could strengthen his Qi-Blood.

“It’s about time to go to sleep,” Jiang Ning said, collecting his fists and exhaled a breath of impure energy.

Then he went to a nearby well to draw a bucket of crisp well water.

Gulp gulp—

First, he took a deep drink.

Next, he grabbed the bucket and poured it over his head.

As the cool well water cascaded down, his body involuntarily shivered.

“Truly refreshing!!”

Then, he tossed the bucket back into the well.

After a couple of swings, he drew up another bucket brimming with well water.

He lifted the bucket again and tilted it over himself, letting the clean, cool water wash away the sweat from his boxing.

This was something he did every night before sleep.

Without taking a bath and being sticky all over with sweat, he couldn’t sleep comfortably.

Just at that moment,

his eyebrows knitted together in a frown.

He looked in the direction of the front yard.

Someone’s here!!

Anyone who would climb over the wall this late must be up to no good.

Jiang Ning’s brow furrowed.

He immediately put down the bucket he was holding.

With a swift movement, he crossed a distance of ten feet in one step.

In a few strides, he arrived beneath the tree where the spiritual weapon, Dragon Abyss, was placed.

Picking up the Dragon Abyss, Jiang Ning suddenly felt a surge of confidence.

The evening’s test had shown him the edge of the spiritual weapon in his hand.

A single slash had severed a wenge longsword, reputed to be forged from hundred-refined steel, demonstrating the formidable strength of the Dragon Abyss.

In battle, possessing such a weapon that could easily slash through other blades offered an enormous advantage.

One couldn’t underestimate its sharpness and had to retreat.

One moment of carelessness, and both man and weapon could be destroyed.

Hence, even though his own strength hadn’t increased at this instant, Jiang Ning knew that with the Dragon Abyss in his hand,

his actual combat power was worlds apart from before.

Even his former self, wielding a wenge longsword, would only flee before his current self and could not face him head-on.

On the other side,

Brother Qiu climbed over the surrounding wall into the front yard, sweeping a glance around, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“That kid sure knows how to enjoy life, living in such a big house.”

Following behind, Yang Kai also climbed over the wall.

“Brother Qiu, let’s be polite when we approach him, best not to start a conflict with Jiang Ning.”

“This kind of prodigy is a hidden dragon in the abyss, we shouldn’t offend him too much.”
