Chapter 95

Wu Qi also came to the exhibition site today; he was still the young master of the Wu family in Huju City, and his family also let him come here to see if there were any good monster-hunting props.

If there were any, the Wu family would definitely spend money to buy the technology and invest heavily to increase their hunting methods.

And don't say, Wu Qi discovered a talent who invented a special monster-catching net.

This thing was like a Poké Ball; as long as it was thrown and hit a monster, it could directly net the monster.

He completed the purchase early in the morning and invited this person, along with his invention, back to the Wu family for a detailed discussion.

But Wu Nanzhi had nothing to do; Li Chen didn't come to date her today, so she continued to wander around here.

Walking near the jewelry shop, she suddenly saw Li Chen's figure.

Just as she was preparing to go and greet Li Chen, she discovered that there was also an extremely beautiful woman by Li Chen's side.

Isn't this the one I saw at the Marriage Mountain?

I knew it, how could you stand me up today; it turns out you had a date with another little sister.

You really are a time management master!

Wu Nanzhi originally planned to follow the original plan and find an opportunity to go up and make Li Chen and the girl beside him have a conflict.

But after thinking about it, Li Chen hadn't been that excessive except for messing around with her in the Mystical Realm, and at least her impression of Li Chen over the past two days wasn't bad.

There were many people at the exhibition; if she made Li Chen embarrass himself at this time, she would feel a bit sorry.

Who told me to have a soft heart? I'll let you off today.

Anyway, she had always known there were women around Li Chen, so she didn't pay much attention.

Just as Wu Nanzhi intended to leave, Li Chen turned around and called her.

"Oh, why did you come today too? Do you want to shop together?"

This scared Wu Nanzhi quite a bit, because Chu Ruoyan was looking at things on the exhibition counter and hadn't discovered Li Chen greeting her.

She hurriedly used a "shush" gesture and then pointed at Chu Ruoyan.

Meaning, don't greet me, lest the woman beside you get angry.

I've already let you off once, how dare you approach me?

Li Chen knew what she wanted to express at a glance and was just about to explain clearly when Chu Ruoyan turned around; she looked at Wu Nanzhi and asked softly: "Who is this?"

Chu Ruoyan also had a very astonishing feeling when she saw Wu Nanzhi.

This woman's beauty and figure really made the women who saw her feel a bit jealous.

Before Li Chen could speak, Wu Nanzhi said first: "I'm his sister."

Li Chen: "."

Playing roleplay, are we? Then I won't be polite.

Wu Nanzhi was afraid that Chu Ruoyan would cause a conflict with Li Chen here due to jealousy, so she said that.

"Oh, since you're his sister, let's go shopping together."

Chu Ruoyan hadn't heard of any eldest princess in the palace, but looking at Wu Nanzhi's clothing, she shouldn't be a palace person either.

Then it was most likely someone from Li Chen's mother's family; that was Chu Ruoyan's judgment.

As Li Chen's woman, she naturally had to perform well in front of his sister.

"No, I still have to—"

Before Wu Nanzhi could finish, Li Chen grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Let's go, sister~"

Wu Nanzhi, who was pulled away, was very angry; I said that, and you're still taking advantage of me? You kid are playing with fire!

Chu Ruoyan really didn't think much of it and started calling her "sister," "sister."

Soon, the two women were chatting very well about choosing jewelry, almost forgetting Li Chen beside them.

At this time, Li Chen didn't need to interrupt; just enjoy it.

After shopping for a while, the three of them came to the center of the square, which was the competition venue.

It was already bustling with noise; it seemed like some heavyweight person was appearing.

These two were well-known figures in the artifact-refining circle; one was the Sect Master of the Imperial Capital's Bailian Sect, Bai Zhanfei.

The other was the owner of a blacksmith shop that had been passed down for a thousand years, Qiu Youneng.

Both of them were showing off the "divine weapons" they had crafted.

What Bai Zhanfei crafted was a "Separation Sword" made of special metal.

The slogan: "Are you often troubled because your sword moves are blocked by others? Use my Separation Sword; even if the opponent can block your sword moves, they can't block your sword!"

The so-called Separation Sword was a sword body composed of five sword blades.

For example, if you held the Separation Sword and went up for a jump slash.

The opponent raised their weapon to block, but they could only block one of these five sword blades.

The other four sword blades would slash down according to inertia, causing damage to the enemy and achieving a miraculous effect.

As long as energy was injected into the hilt, the sword blades would immediately assemble into a sword.

Someone below soon asked: "Sect Master Bai, what if the sword blades are snatched away by others?"

Bai Zhanfei smiled triumphantly, as if he knew someone would say that, so he explained: "Just carry a few more sword blades on you; you can buy them here, and you can add them at any time according to the length you are used to, which is very useful."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers felt it was powerful; as expected of Sect Master Bai, he had held back for so long without coming, and as soon as he did, it was such a badass weapon. Li Chen heard this and thought, good fellow, this thing has wear and tear; I don't know if it's easy to use, but it can definitely make money.

Because anyone who bought this sword would definitely carry many sword blades on them as spares.

Qiu Youneng beside him wasn't convinced and showed off his Spiral Sword.

The slogan: "Are you troubled because you can't pierce through your opponent? Use my Spiral Sword; under super-strong rotation, I guarantee the opponent will have a hole in their body!"

Just by him showing this thing, Li Chen knew that this thing was an electric drill.

Through high-speed rotation, it increased the power of "piercing sword" type attacks, having the effect of breaking a thousand with one force.

Both of them were master-level artifact-refining experts and both felt their things were better than the other's, so they went up on stage to show them off.

Bai Zhanfei suggested: "It's meaningless for the two of us to fight; weapons are judged by their effects in other people's hands. Why don't we invite two people at random to come up and let them try the effects."

The reason he said this was because his own cultivation and combat experience were lower than Qiu Youneng's; he would be at a disadvantage if they fought, and he wouldn't be able to reflect the power of his weapon.

Qiu Youneng was very confident in his weapon and replied: "No problem, let's pick two at random."

Here, Bai Zhanfei actually played a dirty trick; the passerby he "randomly" invited was actually a shill he had hired.

!

This passerby was disguised as Zhao Chong, a disciple under his sect. During this time, Zhao Chong had studied the Separation Sword to perfection, and there was basically no possibility of losing.

Qiu Youneng was truly random, because he invited Li Chen.

Now Li Chen knew that this performance show had no script, at least not on his side.

Anyway, he was bored, and under the encouragement of Chu Ruoyan and Wu Nanzhi, Li Chen went up to play.

After he got the Spiral Sword, Qiu Youneng told him the usage methods and precautions; with Li Chen's comprehension, he naturally handled it easily.

After the Separation Sword side was also ready, Li Chen and Zhao Chong walked onto the competition stage.

The rules here were very simple; in order not to hurt harmony, everyone's cultivation was suppressed to the Opening Meridian Realm.

Because there were the most people at the Opening Meridian Realm in this world, and they were the sales group for these fancy weapons.

There was already a sea of people under the stage, a bunch of onlookers waiting to watch this competition.

Just from the first impression, Li Chen had already won a lot; after all, he was handsome.

But fighting didn't just rely on the face; it had to rely on ability.

With a crisp bell chime, the weapon experiment battle officially began.

Zhao Chong's figure moved, and he slashed out with a fierce tiger landing; the long sword cut through the air, bringing up a sharp whistling sound, aiming directly at Li Chen's face.

Li Chen seemed to have forgotten what weapon the opponent had and actually raised his sword to block directly.

"Clang!" The two long swords collided violently in the air, emitting a deafening collision sound.

At this moment, the characteristics of the Separation Sword were brought into play; the four sword blades that weren't blocked directly attacked Li Chen's body.

But Li Chen dodged them with a light flash.

The Separation Sword shattered all over the ground, and Li Chen took this opportunity to activate the Spiral Sword and stab; a violent gust of wind whistled away, like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable!

Zhao Chong's reaction was also very fast; he urged the hilt, and the Separation Sword immediately returned to his hand, becoming an indestructible long sword.

Even when blocking the rotating Spiral Sword with the sword body, there was no sign of breaking, and it looked very sturdy.

The so-called piercing sword only had that one strike; if it didn't hit, he would be exhausted and change moves.

As the battle deepened, the sword moves of the two became more and more exquisite.

Zhao Chong performed a move called "Meteor Chasing the Moon"; the sword light was like a meteor crossing the night sky, fast as lightning, pointing directly at Li Chen's waist.

It was easily dodged by Li Chen.

Zhao Chong attacked with another move, "Clouds Rolling and Clouds Relaxing"; the sword tip flicked lightly, the sword light surged like clouds, and the sword body split into five long sword afterimages, shrouding Li Chen within.

It was also easily dodged by Li Chen.

The two of them went back and forth, sword light flashed, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.

Zhao Chong was sweating; I'm cheating, I even used the sword moves that come with the Separation Sword, and I still can't beat him?

Finally, Li Chen tapped lightly, Zhao Chong's hilt left his hand, this competition ended, and Li Chen won.

"Did everyone see? My Spiral Sword definitely suppresses the Separation Sword."

Qiu Youneng was very triumphant and went on stage to announce his victory speech.

Zhao Chong looked at his master with a guilty face; he really hadn't beaten his opponent just now.

Seeing the words of praise from so many people below, Qiu Youneng was very excited at this moment; didn't this prove that he was more powerful than his old rival Bai Zhanfei?

Bai Zhanfei had researched for so many years, but it wasn't as good as him just making this casually.

Qiu Youneng continued: "Come, let's hear the speech from the first user of the Spiral Sword."

Li Chen replied thoughtfully: "I think your Spiral Sword has big problems. First, the hilt is relatively light, and the sword body is very heavy, making it difficult to control when rotating, and the rotation speed cannot be adjusted, and the vibration caused by rotation is very strong."

"If it were a protracted battle, the opponent might be fine, but one's own hand would easily go numb due to the persistent vibration, leading to dropping the sword; it's not as easy to use as the sword opposite."

Li Chen was a person who loved to tell the truth; this sentence was an objective fact.

Hearing him say this, Qiu Youneng asked with a confused face: "I saw you using it quite smoothly, didn't you? Didn't you win?"

Li Chen shrugged and said: "Is there a possibility that I won just because I'm stronger, not because your weapon is stronger than his?"

Everyone: "."

Holy shit, there's a master here?

This guy is actually showing off!
