Chapter 1138: Trigger Lightning!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Elder Ren Ran talked, he was about to close his eyes again.
“Elder, I have something I would like to ask.” Chu Liuyue was quite shocked by what he said, but she didn’t give up immediately. After thinking for a moment, she still spoke.?I’m not a demigod, but I have a holy force in my body. The more important thing is that I have already produced a Cloud-Sky Copper Sword even earlier on. Even though Ancestor had helped to trigger the lightning… I did deal with the remaining bolts of lightning myself…
Elder Ren Ran opened his eyes and looked at her lazily. “Say it.”
“If one isn’t a demigod, then is there really no other way to test if they’re talented in Armory Refinement?”
“Why are you so persistent on this?” Elder Ren Ran laughed and stared at her as if he were looking at an ignorant kid throwing a tantrum.
He pointed at the side. “If you really want to get on the Qing Yun Ranking, you should go back and study your formulas—that might be faster. As for Armory Refinement… you should just give up!
Elder Ren Ran didn’t think that talking so much to a mere stage-seven warrior had much use. In his eyes, Chu Liuyue was just doing this because she was curious.
In actual fact, how was it so easy to be an Armory Refinement Master? Many cultivators who were already demigods couldn’t even touch the threshold to be an Armory Refinement Master, let alone this child.
Chu Liuyue paused. “I hear that Armory Refinement Masters need to trigger the power of the lightning to produce Yuan instruments. If I can do it too, can I be considered as an Armory Refinement Master?”
“Of course—what?!” Elder Ren Ran was stumped. He suddenly gazed at Chu Liuyue doubtfully. “What did you say just now? You can trigger lightning and produce Yuan instruments?”
Chu Liuyue blinked and nodded lightly.
“Impossible! Definitely impossible! Unless—I‘ Elder Ren Ran suddenly paused. “You have a legendary fiend?”
In Elder Ren Ran’s eyes, there was only one possibility as to why a warrior who wasn’t at least a demigod could trigger lightning: The cultivator had a legendary fiend!
When humans made an agreement with legendary fiends, the Heavenly Dao that originally belonged to the legendary fiend would enter the cultivator’s body. Depending on this, they might be able to trigger lightning…
Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered, and she then nodded. “Yes.”
Seeing how insistent Chu Liuyue was, Elder Ren Ran didn’t think much as he nagged, “If it’s like this, you can try… But if you get injured, I won’t be responsible for it!”
Chu Liuyue laughed. “Thank you, Elder.”
“Chu Yue, what do you want to do?” Luo Shishi walked over with eyes filled with doubt. “You want to get on the Armory Refinement Master list?” There’s a heavenly doctor list, but he didn’t try to get on it. Why did he come to the Armory Refinement Master’s side?
Chu Liuyue nodded, and her expression was nonchalant.
Luo Shishi wanted to convince him, but when she saw his calm and composed manner, the words were stuck in her throat for some reason.
She hesitated for a moment before standing at the side.
At this point, most people’s attention was still on the remaining three lists.
Even if some people had noticed the situation here, they didn’t take it to heart.
The Armory Refinement Master list hadn’t changed in many years. How could a new student do anything to it?
Elder Ren Ran took out a fist-sized piece of green jade. “This is the Huanshen Pearl; it contains numerous bolts of lightning. As long as you can summon lightning, you’ll succeed.”
The Armory Refinement Master assessment was relatively easy. This was because it was rather troublesome to actually have them produce weapons on the spot. Hence, the elders would use this Huanshen Pearl to test the student’s talent and potential most of the time.
If they could trigger the lightning bolts within, it proved that they could be Armory Refinement Masters.
“The number of lightning bolts you can trigger represents the talent that you have.” Elder Ren Ran passed the Huanshen Pearl over. “As long as you can trigger one bolt of lightning, you succeed!”
“Girl, do you want my help?” Shangguan Jing’s voice sounded.
“Thank you, Ancestor, but I should do this assessment myself,” said Chu Liuyue in her heart.
On the one hand, she might be immediately discovered if her ancestor took action. On the other hand, she really wanted to see if she could do it.
She took the Huanshen Pearl over with two hands.
The Huanshen Pearl was entirely green. Its surface was smooth, translucent, and cold to touch.
Chu Liuyue looked at the Huanshen Pearl in her hands calmly. Then, she took a deep breath in and tried to focus.
There were four special forces left in her body: The two Heavenly Daos that entered her body when she made agreements with the two legendary fiends respectively, one other force gathered from Shangguan Jing’s Tianling God Realm, and the last holy force taken from the strength that Beiming’s ancestor had left behind.
The so-called holy force had the same origins as the Heavenly Dao.
Every legendary fiend was born into this world with the blessing of the
Heavenly Dao, so they were very related to the Heavenly Daos since birth.
The strength within their bodies had a mysterious natural relation to Heavenly Daos. This also meant that they were born with Heavenly Daos.
However, humans were different. All cultivators only had hopes of touching the Heavenly Dao after they broke through to become legendary warriors and turned all of their force into holy force.
Only the top warriors who had truly touched Heavenly Daos could have such heavenly suppression in their holy force. At this point, humans could then have a chance to reach the same standard as legendary fiends.
This was also why legendary fiends were born to be prestigious. Compared to all the other beings in the world, legendary fiends were the most respected existences.
The holy force that Chu Liuyue stole had a hint of Heavenly Dao aura within. Even though it was weak, as the Beiming Ancestor was already a legendary warrior when he left this force behind, it was much stronger than the Heavenly Dao that Shangguan Jing, a demigod, had left behind.
Hence, Chu Liuyue had a total of four Heavenly Daos in her body. It should be enough to trigger the lightning.
But for safety purposes, Chu Liuyue still chose to circulate the Heavenly Dao force that came from making an agreement with Tuan Zi.
A thick and vigorous force spread from Chu Liuyue’s dantian and went toward her arms!
Whir!
The Huanshen Pearl seemed to have felt something as it made a tiny sound. At the same time, waves of ripples appeared on it.
The ripples gradually extended inward, and that translucent green jade seemed to be moving.
“Hm?” Seeing this commotion, Elder Ren Ran—who still thought lowly of Chu Liuyue—changed his expression. He instinctively straightened his back, and the laziness in his eyes completely disappeared. Very quickly, a dark-blue lightning bolt appeared.
Crack!
Even though it was a mini-version, as it was genuine lightning, its suppression was still not one to be underestimated.
Elder Ren Ran looked elated. “You really—”
But before he could finish his sentence, the lightning that was just summoned seemed to meet something terrifying as it ran back and quickly disappeared.
Chu Liuyue was confused..
