Chapter 360: The Magic-breaking User

"Demon-Breaking Arrow?" Lu Yu's face was full of surprise.

"That's right, it is a Demon-Breaking Arrow." Kong Ming nodded and said slowly, "The materials used for this kind of arrow are actually not much different from ordinary Armor-Piercing Arrows.

You also know that the defensive items equipped by Awakened are mostly made by Awakened who possess Guardian-type abilities.

To break through these defenses, one generally has to rely on brute force.

However, once a weapon possesses the magic-breaking attribute, it can easily destroy those defensive items, causing them to lose their effectiveness.

Weapons with this magic-breaking attribute are collectively referred to as Magic-breaking Weapons, and the Demon-Breaking Arrow is just one of many types of Magic-breaking Weapons."

Lu Yu hurriedly asked, "Chairman, then where do these Magic-breaking Weapons come from?"

"They are still made by Awakened." A flash of wariness crossed Kong Ming's eyes. "There is a special type of Awakened who can be called the nemesis of all other types of Awakened. Even powerful A-Class Awakened, if targeted by them, will fall into a predicament where they cannot use their abilities.

We call this type of Awakened a Magic-breaking User. Under normal circumstances, various types of Awakened can enchant weapons, endowing them with special abilities such as fire or ice.

And weapons enchanted by a Magic-breaking User are Magic-breaking Weapons.

This kind of weapon can not only easily break through Amulets made by Guardian-type Awakened, but also put immense pressure on other Awakened, preventing them from exerting their full strength."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yu suddenly realized.

Magic-breaking Weapons and Guardian Talismans really do have a sense of magic fighting magic. A Magic-breaking User is indeed the nemesis of the Awakened.

But if that's the case, obtaining a Magic-breaking Weapon probably isn't an easy task, right?

Kong Ming's next words confirmed his guess. "This kind of Magic-breaking Weapon is extremely difficult to buy, even within the Awakened Association.

Moreover, if news gets out that someone possesses a Magic-breaking Weapon, it is very easy to be ostracized or even viewed with hostility by other Awakened around them.

Therefore, generally only Hunters among the Awakened will equip such weapons, specifically to deal with those Awakened who do not work for humanity but instead harm and slaughter their own kind."

"I see." Lu Yu nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, if he were an Awakened, he would also feel fear and disgust when facing something that could be called a nemesis.

Just like that guy who could turn invisible; because his ability was special, it was not only difficult for him to coexist with other Awakened, but it was even impossible for him to be exposed in front of everyone.

In this way, it made sense that he held a Magic-breaking Weapon in his hand.

It just makes one curious: where did he get this thing from?

Immediately after, Lu Yu looked at Kong Ming and said full of expectation, "Chairman, although this Magic-breaking Weapon is extremely precious, didn't you just say the headquarters has them?"

"They have them, yes." Kong Ming showed a pained expression. "But this thing is priceless and hard to find. If you want one, I can give you one."

"One?" Lu Yu looked disgusted. "Chairman, you are too stingy. How is one enough? You need at least ten!"

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Kong Ming almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

His eyes widened like a bull's, staring fixedly at Lu Yu, his gaze as if questioning: Does this kid know what he is saying? Ten Demon-Breaking Arrows! Even if you turned the headquarters upside down, you couldn't scrape them together!

"Cough, cough." Lu Yu also realized that his request just now seemed a bit excessive. He coughed lightly and said, "Chairman, if it really won't work, how about cutting it in half? Five should be fine, right?

Chairman, think about it: if I go out hunting and run into that group again, I can't just shoot one arrow and then run over to pick it up to keep shooting, right? Five is just the right amount."

"Then why don't you just come to the headquarters?" Kong Ming said irritably. "I told you last time, Yongan City is not safe. If you come to the headquarters, we will definitely protect you properly. Let alone Evil Cultists, even ordinary Fierce Beasts wouldn't have a chance to get close to you."

"No, Chairman, I think it's quite good staying here. I wouldn't be used to going to the headquarters." Lu Yu shook his head and refused.

"Little Brother Lu." Seeing this, He Lao tried to persuade him earnestly. "How can you be safer in Yongan City than in Nanshan City? And if you come over, we can still exchange Alchemy techniques, can't we?"

"That's right, Little Brother Lu, you should just hurry over." Yao Lao also urged him quickly.

Lu Yu just smiled and said nothing.

He knew clearly why he wouldn't go; did they not know in their hearts?

He didn't want to go to the headquarters and act like a nanny, demonstrating Alchemy to Zhang San today and Li Si tomorrow. What would he gain from that?

"Chairman, if five won't work, three will do, right? This is truly the bottom line. If you can't even do this, I really find it hard to believe in the sincerity you spoke of earlier." Lu Yu sighed with feigned helplessness.

"Fine!" Kong Ming gritted his teeth. "Three it is. One Four-tier Alloy War Bow, thirty matching Armor-Piercing Arrows, plus three Demon-Breaking Arrows, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Yu immediately beamed with joy. Intuition told him that the price of a single Demon-Breaking Arrow was probably shockingly high.

And in fact, that was indeed the case. If one were to really calculate the price, a single Demon-Breaking Arrow was worth at least one hundred million Contribution Points!

And that didn't even count the favor owed. After all, for a Magic-breaking User, let alone a small Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association, they wouldn't even take some A-Class Awakened seriously.

Therefore, this favor, let alone three hundred million, might not even be enough for three billion!

"Besides this condition, is there anything else? If there is, feel free to bring it up." Kong Ming added, "But don't even think about Magic-breaking Weapons."

Three Demon-Breaking Arrows had already caused him to bleed heavily; if there were another Magic-breaking blade or sword-type weapon, he couldn't afford it.

"Don't worry, Chairman, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to measure things." Lu Yu said with a smile.

The main thing was that he already had a Magic-breaking Weapon in his hand; if he didn't, he certainly wouldn't have let this rare opportunity pass.

Kong Ming snorted. "Speak, what is the next condition? Let's finish talking early so we can get the Prescription and start refining."

"Chairman, I also want a few Cloud Jade Fruits." Lu Yu said with a smile.

His current True Qi extra bonus is nearly ten times; even a little more Origin True Qi in his body could increase it by ten points.

However, these Cloud Jade Fruits are expensive in the Awakened Association, and since there is an opportunity now, he wants to try to see if he can get a few from the headquarters.

"What, Cloud Jade Fruit?" Kong Ming exclaimed in surprise, a flash of panic crossing his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, there is no such thing."

"Chairman." Lu Yu looked at him with a smile.

"One, no more than that." Kong Ming thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. Even he himself coveted such good things.

"Chairman, one is not a very auspicious number. How about this, good things come in pairs, let's make it two."

"No, one is one, there is no room for negotiation." Kong Ming refused without even thinking.

Seeing this, Lu Yu didn't push it anymore and said, "Alright then, one it is. Chairman, I have one more condition, and it is the last one."

"You still have conditions?" Kong Ming's eyes widened.

"Kong Ming, let him speak."

"That's right, didn't you hear him say this is the last condition?" Yao Lao and He Lao on the side persuaded him one after another. They were more worried than Lu Yu that this deal would fall through.
