Chapter 214: Crescent Moon King Sword

"What? You want to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again to forge a Crescent Moon martial soul?" Dugu Bo looked at Ning Feiliu, who was there at the moment, with some surprise, put down the Spirit Bloom Seed in his hand, and said with a strange expression.

Ning Feiliu nodded at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and said, "Mm... but don't worry, I won't be in any danger this time."

After thinking for a while, he still decided to forge the last forgeable power within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the final Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

Anyway, there was no danger, and there were no side effects to forging it—the only side effect was that he would be unable to use the corresponding Enhancement soul skill while using the current Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

But could this even be considered a side effect? So, he might as well just forge it.

After all, he might really have to make a trip to Slaughter City next; the Dark Harvest rune was just too tempting.

If he truly obtained this rune, he would definitely be able to do what Tang San did in the original plot—taking down a Ninety-Fifth Level Title Douluo like Gui Douluo while only at the Spirit Douluo level with the Sea God Trident.

Or even more absurdly, perhaps he would have the ability to challenge a Title Douluo while at the Soul Saint level! Not to mention that once Dark Harvest reached its final stage, it could very likely reach a level where a single attack could destroy the heavens and the earth.

However, Ning Feiliu still hadn't fully made up his mind to venture into that Slaughter City.

It went back to what he said before: he didn't have a Slaughter God behind him like Tang San and Hu Liena did to make Tang Chen hesitate.

He was just making preparations in advance, but he might not necessarily go into Slaughter City for training in the end.

Moreover, forging the last Crescent Moon Divine Weapon would, in any case, enhance his own strength, so why not do it? And this time, Ning Feiliu considered the previous suggestions of the Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi to forge a... long sword! This way, he could rely on this final Crescent Moon Divine Weapon to still have decent combat power in the special environment of Slaughter City, where the release of soul power and the use of soul skills were prohibited.

As for his own quirky tastes and the idea of being a semi-pro Ruined King player in his past life playing League, the prototype chosen for this Crescent Moon Divine Weapon was the Ruined King Sword of the Ruined King.

That semi-heavy sword shape was very suitable for "hand-to-hand combat" against multiple opponents.

However, because the power used to forge the final Crescent Moon Divine Weapon from his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul was soul power Enhancement, it was highly likely it would not have the ability to manipulate the undead like the original Ruined King Sword.

But it didn't matter.

Let's just forge this "pseudo-Ruined King Sword" first.

And to forge a Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, one naturally had to enter the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He also directly laid his cards on the table and explained it to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

However, Dugu Bo had a strange expression at this moment and said, "I'm not worried about you; you were fine before, so what the hell would I be worried about? But can you still continue to forge your so-called Crescent Moon Divine Weapons? Tell me, why didn't you forge them all at once back then?"

Dugu Yan's pretty face was also full of curiosity at this time, and she said, "Yeah... I thought that your Crescent Moon Divine Weapons could only be forged into these five... Speaking of which, I saw nine rays of light around you back then, so does that mean you could potentially forge up to nine Crescent Moon Divine Weapons?"

"I didn't think of what to forge for the sixth one at the time, and as for the remaining three rays of light, as the origin power of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they should not be able to be forged into new Crescent Moon Divine Weapons..." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said helplessly.

The Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method originally only recorded the forging of five Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, and he was referencing the weapons of Aphelios from the game; naturally, he hadn't thought about being able to forge another one, and he hadn't thought of what to forge either.

As for the three remaining rays of origin power belonging to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... all he could say was, if he were to use any one of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's powers that came from the Qiluo Tulip to forge a Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

Then his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would immediately degenerate into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or directly revert back to the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

If the origin power from the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were used to forge a new Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would cease to exist entirely, directly transforming into seven Crescent Moon Divine Weapons.

That sounds great, right? But these seven Crescent Moon Divine Weapons would have no place to store "restorative power," meaning they would become guns without bullets as soon as they were used.

So Ning Feiliu really couldn't do that.

"So that's how it is. Then what have you decided to forge your Crescent Moon Divine Weapon into this time?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"A sword... a long sword!" Ning Feiliu said, "I plan to name it the Crescent Moon King Sword." (The original name of the Ruined King Sword was the Camavoran King Sword, the state sword of the Kingdom of Camavor, which was later taken by Viego to the Shadow Isles, where it became tainted and triggered the Ruination, thus becoming the Ruined King Sword.) He had actually originally intended to give it a better name, like Calibrum, Severum, or Gravitum, something with a bit of cultural flair, like something along the lines of 'Residual Night', 'Light Eater', 'Xihe', or 'Falling Cold'.

But then he thought about it, a better weapon name wouldn't increase its attack power, so he might as well keep it simple.

If it's the Ruined King Sword, it probably won't have the abilities of the original Ruined King Sword, so let's just go with the Crescent Moon prefix and the King Sword suffix.

"Fine, go ahead... or do you need our help?" Dugu Bo said directly at this moment.

"Uh... that's not necessary." Ning Feiliu thought for a moment and said.

"Then go, go, go, don't get in the way of my planting," Dugu Bo continued to fiddle with the Spirit Bloom Seed in his hand, looking impatient.

Dugu Yan chuckled and said, "Feiliu... let's go. Just let me watch you from the side."

Ning Feiliu was a bit helpless, nodded, and said, "Alright, then I won't disturb Teacher."

"Go, what a day... you kid are almost an adult, you don't need to tell me everything like a little child," Dugu Bo rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and said.

Wasn't Ning Feiliu just showing respect to Dugu Bo, the master of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

However, he felt a bit embarrassed now, so he walked directly with Dugu Yan toward the core of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring.

Arriving at the bank of the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring, Ning Feiliu prepared to enter to forge the final Crescent Moon Divine Weapon—the Crescent Moon King Sword.

Before that, he grabbed the corner of his clothes, intending to take them off.

But just at this moment...

Ning Feiliu suddenly froze.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Dugu Yan looked at Ning Feiliu with a smiling face, a hint of cunning flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"This... isn't appropriate, Sister Yan, I'm about to take off my clothes..." Ning Feiliu said, feeling a bit awkward.

Entering the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring, he had the water-and-fire-immunity ability granted by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, so he was naturally not afraid.

But his clothes would be burned away directly by the Extreme Heat Yang Spring; at most, he could use his soul power to protect his pair of ultra-tough trunks made from special materials.

As for anything else... he simply couldn't look after it.

The most critical thing was that his trunks were quite tight, and because he had developed well, that thing had also developed very proudly over these past few years.

It felt like if he only wore trunks, it would be like a busty girl wearing a bikini... so Ning Feiliu felt a bit awkward at this moment; with Dugu Yan here... was it not quite right?

However, Dugu Yan looked at him and said with a mischievous smile, "Just take them off, I've seen you take off your clothes before... what are you afraid of? Hurry up and take them off so you can get to work!"

"No... men and women should not touch when handing things over..." Ning Feiliu said, looking troubled.

"What 'should not touch', you aren't taking everything off... actually, it would be fine even if you did. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Dugu Yan said with a serious face, "Hurry up and take them off, go do your work!"

However, her current appearance, in Ning Feiliu's eyes, was like that bespectacled Brother Jie, shouting, "Be good! Listen to me! Let me take a look!" "Really, Sister Yan, this isn't very good..." Ning Feiliu felt powerless to complain.

"Forget it, I'll help you take them off! You're dawdling so much." Dugu Yan's eyes rolled, and she stepped forward, pressing against Ning Feiliu, and a pair of jade hands directly grabbed Ning Feiliu's outer garment.

"Eh, eh, eh?" Ning Feiliu was caught off guard.

His strength was a whole major rank higher than Dugu Yan's, but how could he possibly be forceful with her?

He could only grab Dugu Yan's hands, but while one of Dugu Yan's hands grabbed the corner of his clothes, the other hand touched his stomach.

"The texture... is quite good." Dugu Yan, acting like a female hooligan, kneaded Ning Feiliu's stomach, which had firm eight-pack abs.

"Don't... don't touch my chest..." Ning Feiliu could even feel Dugu Yan's soft little hand wandering onto his chest...

Alarm bells immediately rang in his heart, and he firmly grabbed Dugu Yan's hands.

"Tch... stingy," Dugu Yan let go of her hands at this moment, turning her pretty face away.

However, one could see that her earlobes were somewhat flushed, and she even felt her own face heating up.

Clearly... she had gotten carried away just now while ravaging Ning Feiliu's well-toned physique.

"Forget it..." Ning Feiliu felt helpless; now that Dugu Yan had messed with him like this, he was no longer agonizing over whether it would be awkward for Dugu Yan to see him undress.

If he stayed any longer, he feared Dugu Yan would continue to touch his entire body.

He immediately stripped off his outer garment, top, pants, and long boots in a flash, then jumped directly, landing first into the Extreme Heat Yang Spring.

Dugu Yan turned her head back at this moment, looking somewhat startled.

"Am I that scary?" she muttered, saying, "You're this afraid just from me touching you?"

Ning Feiliu, at this moment, went straight to the core of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring and summoned his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul—

"Nine Treasures turn out the Glazed Tile!"

A nine-story pagoda appeared once again, simultaneously falling into the freezing Extreme Cold Yin Spring.

After a long period of freezing, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda turned as if it were made of frost.

Ning Feiliu then jumped directly to the other side into the Extreme Heat Yang Spring; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda fell into it, and after a good while, Ning Feiliu once again used the Spirit Condensation Technique...

A massive hammer of destruction directly smashed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which had become extremely fragile due to the alternating cold and heat, shattering it into... five Crescent Moon Divine Weapons and four different strands of power.

Shattering a martial soul is quite painful, but having experienced it once before, and with his spirit power having grown significantly over these past three years, plus the indomitable will of Atreus, this kind of pain was nothing.

Among the four remaining strands of power, Ning Feiliu grabbed the pale golden one! He refined it in an instant!

He used his spirit hammer to continuously forge the final shape of the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon in the Extreme Heat Yang Spring; it was a long Sword nearly as tall as a person, a full 1.8 meters, though its scabbard was quite strange, featuring two crossguards.

The pale golden long Sword gradually took shape, and finally, it appeared before Ning Feiliu as a magnificent long Sword as tall as a person.

"Crescent Moon King Sword! It's done!"

The newly born Crescent Moon King Sword seemed to respond to Ning Feiliu, emitting a faint ringing sound while flickering with a pale white light like moonlight.

The next moment, this newly born Crescent Moon King Sword, along with the other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons and the three strands of Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda origin power, converged directly, appearing once again as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Feiliu immediately retracted his martial soul and leaped back onto the shore.

This time, forging the Crescent Moon King Sword took a full two hours; the main thing was waiting for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to become fragile from the alternating cold and heat, as the previous processes like converting it into Moon Stone material were no longer needed.

Plus, since this time it was only forging one Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, it was naturally much faster than before.

"Feiliu, did you succeed?" Dugu Yan ran up at this moment, her pretty face full of joy for him, and said.

However...

Ning Feiliu unobtrusively removed Dugu Yan's palm from his pectoral muscle and said helplessly, "Sister Yan... can you not always be touching me?"

Seeing her intentions exposed, Dugu Yan hummed a few times and said with a very thick-skinned expression, "Aren't I just checking to see if your body has grown any sturdier this year?"

Ning Feiliu hurriedly put on his clothes; he really had a hard time handling such a beautiful rogue like Dugu Yan.

"Sigh..." Hearing Dugu Yan's words, he felt even more helpless and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yan, my... um, body should have grown quite well."

By continuously practicing with the Sunlight Breathing Method and the Moonlight Breathing Method, both his body and spirit power grew as quickly as his soul power.

Come to think of it, through his experiments, he discovered that although the Sunlight Breathing Method and the Moonlight Breathing Method are actually the same cultivation technique.

But he found that because the absorbed power is different, the effects of the technique are not exactly the same.

For example, with the Sunlight Breathing Method, because the sunlight contains the extremely hot destructive power of the sun, although Ning Feiliu had absorbed the Blazing Apricot Delicate and did not fear this power gathering in his body.

However, the Sunlight Breathing Method does not have the effect of healing injuries, strengthening the physical body, or enhancing spirit power; the speed at which it improves soul power cultivation is the most significant.

In this regard, the Moonlight Breathing Method's speed of cultivating soul power is not as good as the Sunlight Breathing Method, but because moonlight contains healing and nourishing power, it can heal injuries, strengthen the physical body, and enhance spirit power.
