Chapter 236 Overlord Spear, Bluffing Workers (2)
Zhou Shu said, “If I use my own weapon to exchange something with you, Great General Wang, is that considered treason?
“Great General, does our Great Xia have such a rule?” Zhou Shu asked Meng Bai.
“You have the right to dispose of your own items.” Although Meng Bai was a little puzzled about what Zhou Shu wanted to do, he still replied.
“You’ve been laying the groundwork for so long because you want to trade the weapon you have for something of mine?” Wang Mu finally understood. He sneered. “If I remember correctly, you’re not a Grand Craftsman yet, right? If you can’t forge a heaven-grade weapon, what weapon will you use to make a deal with me?”
If it wasn’t a heaven-grade weapon, he, Wang Mu, wouldn’t care at all!
“Great General Wang, you’re wrong.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Although a heaven-grade weapon is good, it doesn’t mean that other weapons aren’t.
“My Great Destroyer Sword…”
“Stop! Don’t mention your Great Destroyer Sword to me!” Wang Mu shouted.
As soon as Zhou Shu mentioned the Great Destroyer Sword, Wang Mu felt a headache.
No matter how good the Great Destroyer Sword was, it was only a yellow-grade weapon.
As for the results, it was merely one occasion!
Not everyone could sever the arm of a first-rank martial artist with the Great Destroyer Sword!
Even Wang Mu couldn’t do it!
But a heaven-grade weapon could unleash 120% of his strength.
This was definitely not something a yellow-grade weapon could match. “Fine. I won’t talk about the Great Destroyer Sword.” Zhou Shu looked a little regretful. “Great General Wang, are you sure you don’t want it?
“My weapon isn’t much worse than Great General Meng’s halberd.
“Although it’s only a yellow-grade weapon now, if it can be upgraded in the future, it can also become a heaven-grade weapon.”
“Upgrade?”
Not only did Wang Mu raise his voice, but Shi Songtao, who had been listening, also pricked up his ears.
Shi Songtao was a Forging Master. He knew more about forging than Wang Mu and the others.
In theory, weapons could indeed be upgraded.
This was just like humans. Some people were born weak, but they could become stronger through cultivation.
The same was true for weapons. Their internal star paths determined their grades.
In theory, the star paths inside weapons could be expanded.
But a theory was still a theory. It was just like how it was extremely difficult for a person to go from weak to strong. It would only be more difficult for a weapon to be upgraded.
Generally speaking, the cost of upgrading a weapon was greater than the cost of forging a new weapon.
Therefore, very few people would spend so much effort to upgrade a weapon unless it was really worth it.
As far as Shi Songtao knew, there were only a handful of examples of successful upgrades in the recent centuries.
“Are you sure?” Wang Mu frowned.
“Of course. Great General Wang, you might not know me very well.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I’ve never failed in forging. Since I dare to say it, I’m naturally sure. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be spoiling my reputation?”
“If it’s as you say, it’s not impossible for me to take your weapon,” Wang Mu said. “Where is your weapon?”
“Great General Wang, please wait a moment.” Zhou Shu got up with a smile and walked toward his tent.
Zhou Shu had spent so much effort convincing Wang Mu not because he liked him.
To be honest, with Wang Mu’s status, there were not many opportunities for him to kill enemies personally.
Zhou Shu wanted to pass the weapon to his grandson, Wang Xin, through him!
When he entered the Wang Xin dream, Zhou Shu knew that he was a battle maniac.
He spent most of the year slaying demonic beasts.
What did this mean?
He would be the most diligent worker!
If Zhou Shu went to look for Wang Xin directly, Wang Xin might not believe him, not to mention that he could only forge yellow-grade weapons now.
The weapon that Wang Xin was using now was an earth-grade weapon.
Zhou Shu had fooled around with Wang Mu for a long time to make him believe that the power of a yellow-grade weapon was actually not bad.
Zhou Shu walked into the tent. It was more than an hour before he walked out again.
When he came out, he was carrying a long weapon.

The long weapon was a spear. It was 13 feet 8 inches long. Its entire body was gilded gold and covered with a coiled dragon, and the tip of the spear gleamed coldly in the firelight.
Just by walking over with the spear, the bonfire kept flickering, as if it was about to be extinguished by the cold air emanating from the spear.
“This is?” Wang Mu’s eyes lit up. Although he was good at using swords, he also liked to use spears in battle.
With just a glance at the spear in Zhou Shu’s hand, Wang Mu fell in love with it.
To describe this spear in one word, domineering!
It didn’t matter what grade it was or how powerful it was.
But from the looks of it, Wang Mu already liked it!
Exactly. He was this shallow!
Great General Wang had already made up his mind. He had to obtain this spear!
Meng Bai’s breathing quickened. Zhou Shu wants to sell such a domineering spear to an outsider?
If you need money, tell me!
“You Marquis, if you need money, I can buy this spear,” Meng Bai couldn’t help saying. “I’ve accumulated some savings over the
years—”
“Brother Meng, what do you mean by that? Marquis Zhou is negotiating a deal with me. You are being rude if you want to intercept! You may have money, but I also have money!
“Marquis Zhou, I want this spear, no matter how much it costs!” Wang Mu said earnestly.
Meng Bai didn’t care about Wang Mu’s teasing and continued, “You Marquis, we’re on the same side—”
“Meng Bai! You already have the Heavenly Halberd. Don’t be greedy!” Wang Mu said angrily.
Veins popped out on Meng Bai’s forehead. That damned Heavenly Halberd!
I’ve never even seen it!
I just like this spear. Can’t I?
The Great Qin general and Great Xia’s God of War glared at each other like children, not giving in to each other. “Great General…” Zhou Shu couldn’t help but speak.
Meng Bai and Wang Mu turned their heads at the same time.
“Great General Meng,” Zhou Shu said again. “This spear doesn’t suit you. It won’t be able to unleash its full power in your hands.
“It’s more suitable for General Wang.”
Zhou Shu was referring to Wang Xin, but Wang Mu thought he was referring to him.
Wang Mu smiled reassuringly. “Did you hear that? Even the person who forged the weapon said so!
“Marquis Zhou, don’t worry. I won’t let this spear down.”
“I thought you said you didn’t care for weapons that weren’t heaven-grade.” Meng Bai sneered. He was unwilling to refute Zhou Shu in public, but he also couldn’t bear to see Wang Mu’s smug face.
“Did I say that? I never did,” Wang Mu said.
“Marquis Zhou is right. It depends on who uses a weapon. What kind of person am I? Do I still need a weapon to show my strength? Even if I use a standard weapon, I can still kill enemies!”
As expected of an old general, he was all about practicality. What was pride?
Meng Bai was so angry that he only sneered. What else could he say when facing someone with such thick skin?
Zhou Shu, oh, Zhou Shu, why are you selling such a good weapon to him? Meng Bai complained inwardly.
“Marquis Zhou?” Wang Mu ignored Meng Bai’s sneer and extended his hand to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu understood and casually threw the spear over.
With the spear in hand, Wang Mu’s arm sank slightly, and his face revealed surprise. What a heavy spear!
Buzz
Wang Mu shook his wrist, and the spear trembled like a flood dragon emerging from the water, leaving behind afterimages in the air.
Although his spiritual essence had been sealed, he still had his Martial Dao cultivation, and his body was still that of a first-rank martial artist.
With this spear thrust, it could be seen that Wang Mu’s attainments in the spear were not something ordinary martial artists could compare to.
Boom!
Wang Mu shook his spear and drove it into the bonfire. Sparks immediately flew everywhere.
Everyone dodged. Meng Bai shouted angrily, “Wang Mu!”
Wang Mu didn’t care at all and laughed loudly. “Good spear! Marquis Zhou, does this spear have a name? How much does it cost?”
“This spear is named Overlord Spear. As for the price, General Wang, how much do you think it’s worth?”
