Chapter 10

[Black Iron Red-Edge Sword (Silver Low-Grade)]

[Special Affix · Drink Red: After this sword cuts a monster, it can absorb the stained blood to heal the holder's wounds.]

Su Ming used the Eye of Insight to scan the sword's information and was very satisfied.

He held the sword and swung it casually, feeling how sharp it was.

The best part was that he could heal himself after cutting a monster.

This was equivalent to carrying a mobile healer!

You have to know, healers are a very rare type of support profession.

Teaming up with them is very expensive and requires powerful strength.

But with this sword, he didn't need any healer!

He held the sword, feeling as if it were an extension of his arm.

He swung it casually.

Swish, swish, swish.

The sword light was like cold dew, extremely sharp.

It even faintly sliced through the air.

Looking at this sword, all the onlookers were struck as if by lightning.

The jaws of the few female clerks couldn't close.

The entire shop was extremely quiet for a moment.

After a long time, a student rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief.

"He... he... he..."

"He really smashed out a stone-sealed weapon!?"

Someone's pupils dilated, pointing at the sword.

"And, looking at the appearance, this sword isn't bronze quality."

"At the very least, it's silver level!"

People's voices erupted instantly.

It was extremely noisy.

Su Ming and Yang Ding stood in the center of the crowd, swallowed by the noise.

When Yang Ding saw this sword, his face turned pale.

He stepped back half a step involuntarily, unable to believe it.

"No... no..."

"Impossible..."

He held his breath for a long time before he could barely squeeze out two words!

His eyes were dazed, staring at the sword in shock.

Pitch-black steel, flashing with sharpness.

Dark red patterns flowed inside like living blood.

It was at least a silver weapon!

His breathing was clearly chaotic.

He had thought it was his highlight moment, but he didn't expect to be countered.

Su Ming's expression was flat, and he reached out to him from afar.

"Yang Ding, pay up."

As if he had expected all of this.

Yang Ding's mind was in chaos.

He didn't expect to lose!

"No... no, this weapon of yours hasn't been appraised yet."

"We don't even know what grade it is!"

He said stammeringly.

This was his final sophistry and struggle.

However, this time, before Su Ming could refute.

The students watching the fun spoke up one after another.

"Although I don't want to admit it... Su Ming really won."

"Yang Ding, just accept it."

"Whether it's appraised or not doesn't matter."

"According to the rules, as long as a sword was opened from the stone, Su Ming wins."

The students' eyes were sharp.

Under the burning gaze of the crowd, Yang Ding could no longer back out.

Besides, the betting contract already showed that Su Ming had won!

[Su Ming Wins]

He gritted his teeth hard and said very reluctantly.

"Consider yourself lucky..."

Then, he transferred 3000 from his account and gave it to Su Ming.

There was no way; the contract was signed.

Even if the King of Heaven came, he couldn't break the contract.

This was the rule of the world.

If he defaulted, huge interest would roll in every single second.

So he had to pay now.

After Su Ming got the money, he smiled slightly.

"Thank you."

Then he didn't leave the shop immediately.

Instead, he turned around and returned to the female clerk at the weapon shop.

"I want to buy a scabbard, an ebony scabbard that fits my sword."

The female clerk was stunned.

A moment later, she reacted.

"Oh... oh, okay!"

The female clerk was a bit flustered from excessive shock.

She took out a precision instrument and began to measure the thickness, width, and weight of the Black Steel Blood-Drinking Sword.

A custom-made scabbard could be completed very quickly.

Customizing a scabbard cost 1000 Arrival Coins.

Originally, Su Ming couldn't afford it.

But now, he had money!

Seeing this scene, the student group exploded.

"Damn, he spent the money as soon as he got it, buying a scabbard!"

"He's simply rubbing Yang Ding's face on the ground!"

"Isn't this a typical case of getting the benefit and still acting arrogant?"

"Too much hatred!"

The students clenched their fists.

"Looking at him, could it be that he knew there was a sword in the stone all along?"

"That is indeed possible."

"After all, the skills of a Sword-wielding Master are strange and varied; maybe there's a skill to sense the information of sword-type weapons?"

A moment later, Su Ming received an antique ebony scabbard.

He tied it to his back with a rope.

The black steel sword was perfectly inserted inside.

Paired with his black clothes, he looked just like a chivalrous swordsman.

Su Ming walked slowly out of the weapon shop.

From beginning to end, his expression had no ripples.

Yang Ding watched this scene, his face turning green and white.

He was almost smoking with anger.

His voice trembled slightly, and as Su Ming passed by, he said in a low voice.

"Su Ming, I'll remember you..."

Su Ming heard this and picked his ear.

"Oh."

Then, his figure disappeared on the street.

Returning to his private dormitory.

Su Ming drew his sword.

He swung it a few times casually.

Hum, hum, hum.

A crisp sword hum sounded, very clear and pleasant.

"I have the Origin Sword Body talent, which can amplify all my sword techniques."

"But I don't have any sword-type skills yet..."

He rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Skill scrolls are expensive, and I don't have much money left; I can't afford them."

"I can only hope that a sword technique scroll will drop in the novice dungeon."

He muttered.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with brilliance.

"Right, I also have a talent, All-Things Sublimation."

A skill that can upgrade any loot dropped in a dungeon!

Su Ming hadn't used it yet!

He immediately placed the sword in front of him and used the [All-Things Sublimation] talent.

Hum!

A burst of sacred golden light flashed.

Suddenly, the long sword in front of him changed shape!

A moment later, the light faded.

The blade was revealed clearly.

He saw that the sword was even more purely black, and the blood-colored patterns inside seemed to have extended many lines.

The whole sword looked more bloodthirsty and dark, making people shudder.

[Sublimation Successful]

[Black Steel Blood-Sipping Sword (Silver High-Grade)]

[Drink Red: After this sword cuts a monster, it can absorb the stained blood to heal the holder's wounds.]

[Sip Blood: After this sword kills a monster, it can briefly increase the holder's total stats by 5 points for 30 seconds.]

It was upgraded directly from silver low-grade to silver high-grade!

Su Ming was extremely surprised.

This talent was truly magical.

It directly added a special effect, Sip Blood.

After killing an enemy, he could gain a short buff that increased all his stats.

It was undeniably fierce!

Moreover, after sublimation, the material of the sword was heavier.

The texture was sharper.

Su Ming raised his hand and slashed directly at his table.

Swish!

The wooden table broke apart immediately without question!

The cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.

Even, not a single sound was made.

One could see the sharpness of the blade!

Su Ming was dumbfounded.

The power was even fiercer than he had expected.

It was much sharper than before the sublimation!

He looked at the sky outside the window.

"Night has fallen."

His voice was flat.

This meant that the time for him to meet Ren Xiaoman...

Had arrived!

He walked slowly out of the dormitory, alone.

In his eyes, killing intent was cold.
