Chapter 255

As the crowd receded, Xu Que returned to the passage silently and threw the broken iron chunk that sealed the Sword Spirit's remnant soul into the system storage space.

Suddenly, the light on his body disappeared, and there was no more sword-shaped spiritual energy in the surroundings. Everything returned to calm, and Xu Que's true appearance was revealed.

Xu Que summoned the system, his gaze falling on the broken iron in the system storage space, and he was somewhat stunned as he looked at the description above.

【Mysterious Broken Iron Chunk】:

Seals a wisp of the ancient Sword Spirit's remnant soul. It is very weak and contains supreme sword intent. You need to obtain the complete Sword Spirit to inherit the sword intent! (Note: Can be recycled to the system now to exchange for 100,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence!)

"Hiss, this damn thing... a piece of broken iron can actually be exchanged for 100,000 points of Artifact Refining Essence. This is heaven-defying!" Xu Que gasped, feeling very shocked.

It was obvious that he had made a huge profit this time. A piece of broken iron containing a weak remnant soul was worth this much; if he found the complete Sword Spirit, wouldn't he be able to soar into the sky?

Xu Que couldn't help but feel excited. The creature in the stone wall had simply given him a huge gift; those 5,000 Acting Cool Points were not spent in vain.

Moreover, just by acting cool to that group of people, he had already successfully recovered over 1,000 points of his investment. If he worked harder a few more times, he would definitely earn it back.

The great cause of acting cool cannot be delayed for even a moment; one must move forward at all times.

Especially as a King of Acting Cool, one must ensure that every day is either spent acting cool or on the way to act cool.

Therefore, after hiding the broken iron chunk, Xu Que took out a mirror, looked at his own reflection, and tried hard to make an innocent, cute, "little fresh meat" expression.

Afterwards, he put away the mirror and, like a cute, beautiful young man, innocently and lively ventured deeper into the Sword Tomb.

At the same time, two figures stepped into the entrance of the Sword Tomb; they were the two people who had participated in the Ancient Sword test with Xu Que earlier.

One of the young men with powerful aptitude had even obtained two ancient swords.

As the two entered the Sword Tomb, they walked one after the other, passing right by the stone wall where Xu Que had stayed earlier.

"Eh, two young lads, you dare not kneel when passing before this Divine Venerable?" the creature inside the stone wall shouted.

"Who is it?" The two prodigies suddenly paused their steps, their expressions changing drastically as they vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

The creature inside the stone wall sneered: "This Divine Venerable is a descendant of an ancient Demon Dragon from the Immortal Realm. You two ants, how dare you ignore me?"

"Ancient Demon Dragon from the Immortal Realm?" The two prodigies were stunned for a moment.

Then, the young man holding the two ancient swords sneered, walked away directly without looking back, and a voice drifted from afar—"This must be that Fujiwara Takumi from the Zha Tian Bang playing tricks!"

Upon hearing this, the other prodigy raised an eyebrow, sneered as well, and left directly.

The creature inside the stone wall was stunned for a moment, then became anxious, shouting: "Young lads, don't leave! Did I scare you?"

"Damn it, come back!"

"Do you have Purification Water on you? Speak up!"

"Holy crap, I don't want to lick for another two thousand years; my tongue has become thick from licking!"

"Damn, don't let me see you again!"

The two prodigies turned a blind eye to everything.

In their view, talk of an ancient Demon Dragon from the Immortal Realm was simply nonsense. If it were really a Demon Dragon, would it be sealed here?

This sounded like bragging, and this style was too similar to that Fujiwara Takumi from the Zha Tian Bang. He must have made something and deliberately placed it here to trap people.

The best way was to ignore it!

So the two turned and left, ignoring the shouting behind them.

At the same time, the "innocent" Xu Que had already passed through the lava cave and, following another passage, continued to move deeper underground.

Before long, he saw scattered prodigies running around everywhere. Some were looking for sword intent inheritance, some were looking for precious swords, and some were looking for "Fujiwara Takumi"!

This time, Xu Que was very low-key, appearing very much like an innocent little cutie who had just stepped into the world and didn't understand anything.

This state, combined with his naturally fair and young face, was quite deceptive.

When he walked to a crowded place, Xu Que saw a younger prodigy and took the initiative to step aside, smiling: "Little brother, you go first!"

When meeting an elder, he even bowed and said: "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Seeing a suspected precious sword appear ahead, he even said to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, look, there seems to be a precious sword over there, shining brightly!"

Suddenly, a large group of people rushed over.

These various behaviors immediately attracted the attention of many people, and all kinds of gazes gathered on him at once.

"Respects the old and loves the young, honest and simple, innocent?"

"Holy crap, could he be Senior Brother Fujiwara?"

"Ptooey, is the title of my Senior Brother Fujiwara something you can just call out casually?"

A group of people argued while squeezing to Xu Que's side, surrounding him tightly, and trying their best to squeeze out friendly and harmonious smiles, looking at Xu Que repeatedly!

"Little brother, cough cough... no, this handsome and dashing fellow, may I ask how to address you?" a prodigy asked with a flattering face.

Xu Que blinked "weakly," opening his innocent, wide eyes, and said cautiously: "I am Fujiwara Takumi from the Zha Tian Bang. May I ask what business you brothers have with me?"

"What? It really is Senior Brother Fujiwara!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Holy crap, it took no effort at all to find him after searching high and low!"

"Senior Brother Fujiwara, let's go, Junior Brother will take you to find Master right now!"

"Get lost, don't touch my Senior Brother Fujiwara!"

"Damn, you guys get lost, don't scare my Senior Brother Fujiwara!"

"Holy crap, you guys are truly shameless. Senior Brother Fujiwara, don't mind them, come with me!"

Suddenly, a group of people started to scramble and squeeze each other, but no one really dared to pull Xu Que, fearing they would annoy him.

Everyone tried their best to leave a good impression on Xu Que, attempting to make him feel favorable and follow them away.

Xu Que still put on an innocent expression on his face and said in a low voice: "Miss, you can't do this, men and women should not touch!"

"It doesn't matter, we are Senior Brother and Junior Sister!"

"Senior Brother Fujiwara, you are so cute!"

"No wonder the Sword Spirit Senior values you so much. Such a kind person with a pure nature, if you cultivate the Dao of the sword, you will definitely be focused and dedicated!"

"Let's go, Senior Brother, let's go to a quiet place and chat!"
