Chapter 325

What... is going on?

Bai Ka stared in shock at his own mechanical arm.

The arm clearly was touching anything.

But why does it feel as if a small hand is gently stroking it?

Is this really seeing a ghost in broad daylight?

"Heehee, Bai Ka bro, it's me!"

Bai Lin opened her eyes with a giggle, her eyes smiling into crescents.

Bai Ka's eyes lit up,

"Linlin, is this the ability you just awakened?"

Bai Lin nodded obediently, noticing the doubtful looks around her, and she patiently explained,

"I just sensed that my ability should allow me to communicate with forged items, enhance their abilities, and to some extent control forged objects."

"Control forged objects? What kind of ability is that? I've never heard of any Savior Heir awakening such an ability!"

Everyone present immediately began to discuss curiously.

The only Savior Heir Lu Chui Zhen had before, Bai Ce, awakened a simple ability: combat.

At first, nobody realized that Bai Ce had become a Savior Heir.

But Bai Ce, while still young, could defeat Bai Tie without relying on forging equipment!

For someone who grew up in Lu Chui Zhen, this is absolutely unimaginable!

You know, Bai Tie, who has forged iron year-round, is undoubtedly the number one person in all of Lu Chui Zhen.

Even in Heixia Yu, those who can defeat Bai Tie are probably no more than the number of fingers on one hand.

But Bai Ce could defeat Bai Tie at just over ten years old, which is certainly extraordinary!

From then on, some people began to suspect whether Bai Ce had become a Savior Heir.

Later, after Bai Ce left Heixia Yu and went to Sheng Cheng, the proclamation of Savior Heir Bai Ce spread everywhere.

Only then did they confirm their inner suspicion.

Combat is also the most common ability among Savior Heirs.

Among the most famous Savior Heirs, some can open a teleportation gate and travel thousands of miles away.

Some are incarnations of the God of Death; once there is bodily contact, they will be tainted with the aura of death.

They can die even faster than from being infected with the Black Tide's aura.

Savior Heirs each have their own special abilities.

But most of them are skilled primarily in combat.

An ability like Bai Lin's to communicate with and enhance forged objects can be said to be unheard of.

"The abilities awakened by Savior Heirs should also be highly specialized."

Just then, Gu Han's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Gu Han came to Bai Lin's side and said with a smile,

"Bai Lin is from Lu Chui Zhen, and since Lu Chui Zhen has generation after generation been in the business of forging equipment, it's quite normal for her to awaken such an ability."

"Moreover, any Savior Heir tasked with combat must necessarily have outstanding weapons and armor forged by master craftsmen!"

"Although Bai Lin's ability looks merely supportive, it can greatly enhance the abilities of other Savior Heirs."

Having said that, Gu Han looked at Bai Lin and asked,

"Can you feel how many weapons you can enhance at once right now?"

Bai Lin nodded and communicated inwardly.

Soon, the dozen or so people nearest felt the implements in their hands begin to grow hot.

These various implements did not become heavier.

But everyone felt that if used to attack, their power might be somewhat greater than before.

"I can currently enhance at most fifteen weapons, with an enhancement effect of roughly thirty percent."

After Bai Lin conveyed what she felt to Gu Han, he couldn't help but frown,

"A thirty percent enhancement is not bad, but fifteen weapons is still a bit few."

How many Savior Heirs there are in Sheng Cheng is still unknown for now.

But even if fewer than fifteen combat-oriented Savior Heirs exist, Bai Lin's enhancement can also be provided to Sheng Cheng's other warriors.

Such enhancement is also definitely a significant boost for warriors resisting the Black Tide.

Moreover, Gu Han suspects that, as a Savior Heir, Bai Lin's enhancement effect might also have extra lethality against Black Tide monsters!

If his suspicion proves true, then it's definitely not as simple as a thirty percent increase!

"You have only just awakened your Savior Heir ability; you can gradually adapt, and once you become proficient, both the number and effect of the enhancement should be able to improve."

After all, Bai Lin has only just regained the ability to move freely.

She herself is not suited for combat, so this supportive enhancement ability is just right for her.

Bai Lin nodded heavily, and with Bai Ka's help began to slowly adapt to walking, trying to take steps.

And the priest Bai Qi of Lu Chui Zhen, together with several other priests, came before Gu Han.

They respectfully bowed slowly before Gu Han.

"Our current doubts about you, sir, are our fault; please forgive us, sir."

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Lu Chui Zhen townsfolk all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Who doesn't know that Priest Bai Qi is the person who most despises Savior Heirs?

Even if Bai Ce became a Savior Heir, Bai Qi never changed that view!

Seeing Bai Qi apologize to a Savior Heir with my own eyes—what's the difference from seeing a ghost in broad daylight?

"If the Savior Heir doesn't mind, we are willing to follow you to Sheng Cheng."

Before Gu Han could speak, Bai Qi immediately changed his previous approach.

Bai Qi has always been the representative of those in Lu Chui Zhen who stubbornly refuse to go to Sheng Cheng.

And now, because of Bai Lin's matter, he has changed his mind.

Everyone looked at the inconsistent Bai Qi with bewildered faces.

Even if Bai Lin became a Savior Heir, that shouldn't cause Bai Qi's attitude to swing a full 180 degrees, right?

But Bai Qi clearly has no intention of explaining any of this to them.

With Bai Qi leading, Lu Chui Zhen no longer has any dissenting voices.

All the Priests also agreed that the whole town would follow Gu Han to Sheng Cheng.

Under Bai Qi's command, everyone hurried back home to start packing their belongings.

What surprised Gu Han was that, despite Lu Chui Zhen's excellent forging craft,

For example, Bai Ka's mechanical arm—its functionality and power are probably beyond most county‑level spirit artifacts!

Such strength would be coveted even by Martial Patriarchs in the outside world, and even some Martial Honored Ones!

Yet, with Lu Chui Zhen's forging level, they still haven't produced a spatial container!

In other words, if the people of Lu Chui Zhen want to follow Gu Han to Sheng Cheng Tianyu City, they must carry big and small bundles on the road.

Gu Han arrived at the home of the elder with whom he is most familiar.

The elder's son was also at home, and upon seeing Gu Han enter, his face instantly turned extremely awkward.

"Savior Heir…"

He is not good with words, so he could only stand up awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Gu Han waved his hand, too lazy to chat with the middle‑aged man, and after nodding to the elder, said softly,

"Uncle, let me take it for you."
