Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 388 Star Trails
“If the enemy is a heavily armored knight, such as the legendary ‘Bone Castle’ or ‘Volcano Turtle’, swords and blades are useless. I need some heavy weapons like hammers.”

Zhou Leng glanced at it and said, "Unfortunately, it's not on the stone platform. I'll go look on the shelf."

After saying that, ignoring the bewildered looks of the others, he selected an ice chain hammer and a heavy gold spiked club from the shelf and put them into his magic bag.

Zhou Leng walked back to the stone platform and said, "We martial artists can't wear heavy armor, it affects our attacks. We need soft protective gear. Does anyone have any good recommendations?"

The elves inside and outside the warehouse stared blankly at Zhou Leng, wondering if this was even possible.
This is a legendary treasure trove, why are you picking and choosing like it's a market?
Yinhuyue said, "There is protective gear suitable for you. This Mother Castle looks very ordinary, but because it is made of Mother Tree bark, it is priceless."

"Not only is it highly protective, but it can also recover quickly. If you feed it life-giving treasures such as the Water of Life, the Heart of a Tree Man, the Juice of a Giant Insect, and Ancient Tree Fossils, it will continue to grow like a living tree."

The elves stared at Silver Lake Moon, wondering if it was something to be given away.

This material is made from the bark of the mother tree, which is extremely difficult to produce. It not only provides strong protection but also holds great significance.

Silver Lake Wind said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is a relic of an Elf King. Not just anyone can wear it; a magical ritual must be performed. Many of us have tried, but it's simply impossible..."

Zhou Leng picked up the Mother's Castle Armor, and saw the bark-like armor suddenly transform into branches that climbed up his arms and onto his body.

Finally, Zhou Leng's chest, abdomen, back, and back of the head were covered by tree branches.

The twig slowly seeped into the skin and disappeared in a short while.

The skin in the corresponding area is only slightly thicker.

Silver Lake Moon explained, “Once the battle begins, Mother's Castle will appear. It looks like a thin layer of bark, but it is actually far superior to any legendary armor.”

"Okay." Zhou Leng felt a comfortable aura emanating from the protective gear.

The elves fell silent. No wonder they were chosen by the Elf King; ordinary elves could not make Mother Castle so obedient.

After all, it is the bark of the Mother Tree of Life.

Silver Lake Wind sighed and said, "Your Highness, from now on, all your life-giving potions will be left to Mother's Castle, and you will absorb the power of Mother's Castle. At first, you will be at a slight loss, but as Mother's Castle continues to grow, you will be almost forever nourished by the Tree of Life, and the benefits will become higher and higher."

"Really?" Zhou Leng took out a bottle of ant queen juice and placed it on his chest.

Tree bark appeared on his chest, and a tree root emerged from the bark, burrowing into the enchanted bottle.

In just ten seconds, the equivalent of several large vats of queen ant juice was completely absorbed.

Take out the second bottle, and it will be completely absorbed by the tree bark.

Bottle after bottle, until the juice of the entire queen ant was consumed, the absorption rate of Mother Castle finally slowed down.

The tree bark armor exuded an even stronger life force, and Zhou Leng even felt as if he were under the Tree of Life.

The aura emanating from this mother tree's armor far surpasses that of the queen ant and ordinary life-giving water.

These vital energies seep into the body.

Skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, blood, meridians, dantian...

It is everywhere, enhancing everything.

Suddenly, the phoenix feathers in the spinal cord stirred slightly, attracting a large amount of life force into the bone marrow.

Gradually, the life force began to weave the star phoenix feathers on its own.

Zhou Lengxin was delighted and asked, "From now on, we won't lose money, right?"

Yinhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, you have fed it. The value of this treasure is far more than that of ordinary protective gear. You'd better not use it to defend against enemy attacks."

When Silver Lake Wind saw the elven treasures on him, he felt a pang of heartache.

“Your suggestion is very good. Silver Lake Moon, can you help me find a new piece of protective gear?”

All the elves were completely baffled.

Yinhu Feng was dumbfounded.

"What, the Elf Prophet, the Elf Saint, and the Elf Grand Duke combined are not worthy of these weapons and equipment?" Zhou Leng asked.

“It’s worthy.” Yin Huyue silently picked up a piece of silver armor and walked towards Zhou Leng.

"This is a shimmering silver armor, made of a special metal. It is very soft when worn and can protect your chest, abdomen, and head. It can provide effective protection against both magical and non-magical attacks."

"Let me try."

"It's best to wear it under your outer clothing."

Zhou Leng took off his coat, leaving only his vest.

Silver Lake Moon helped her don the shimmering silver armor.

Zhou Leng carefully sensed the Radiant Silver Armor. Soon, the armor responded, slowly turning into a mercury-like liquid that flowed onto his arms, chest, abdomen, and head, forming a tight half-body armor.

His entire face was covered by silver armor, like a mask, but strangely, his vision, hearing, and breathing were completely unaffected.

“These magical treasures are truly amazing,” Zhou Leng exclaimed. “Alright, you two each pick one.”

The moon over the silver lake gazes towards the wind over the silver lake.

Yinhu Feng sighed and said, "Things have come to this point, and with the Grand Duke's order, it's not considered breaking the rules."

"Thank you, Grandfather Feng, thank you, Your Highness." Yin Huyue went straight for a longbow and grabbed it.

The surface of the wooden longbow immediately blossomed with white flowers, filling the room with a sweet fragrance.

Silverlake Wind left his ordinary legendary staff on the weapon rack, took an ancient staff from the stone platform, and gently stroked it.

"Do you have a better magic bag here?" Zhou Leng asked.

Silver Lake Moon looked around, Silver Lake Wind waved his staff, and a wooden box flew toward Zhou Leng. Then he stroked the staff as if stroking a lover's hand.

Zhou Leng took the wooden box.

Yinhuyue said, "This 'Queen's Dressing Box' is made from the trunk of the mother tree and has spatial properties. It is about ten times larger than your magic spirit bag and can be put into an ordinary magic spirit bag."

Zhou Leng reached out and touched it, sensing that the space inside was equivalent to a large factory, and he was quite satisfied.

Take out an ordinary magic bag and place the spatial wooden box inside.

"My guards can go inside and each take a legendary treasure. First come, first served."

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, all the elves looked at him in surprise.

Including Silver Lake Breeze and Silver Lake Moon.

If Zhou Leng taking several legendary treasures by himself is called shopping, then letting all the members in is called ransacking.

Some non-guard members were about to object, but upon seeing the legendary staff in Silverlake Wind's hand, they fell silent.

Yinhu Feng stared blankly at the staff in his hand.

Is this considered bribery?
Just as the old man from Silver Lake was struggling with his decision, a bold young man rushed into the warehouse, grabbed a fiery red longbow from the stone platform, and strode over.

The young man raised his longbow high and recited a prayer.

Before long, the longbow was engulfed in flames. When the flames subsided, he slung the longbow over his back.

His entire demeanor changed abruptly.

He was originally just an ordinary male elf, but now, his every move exudes extraordinary charm.

The magic circle of the treasure vault did not punish the elf.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Several bolder elves strode into the treasure vault; had it not been for their awe, they would have already used magic to run away.

The elves behind them then realized what was happening and rushed into the treasure vault.

Some chose longbows, while others chose staves.

However, there are not many of these two types of weapons left, only about fifty.

The others had no choice but to select other weapons, armor, or magical artifacts.

A total of 232 non-crippled elves chose to join the Prophet's Guard.

They all entered, each carrying a legendary treasure.

The other elves, gazing at the bustling treasure vault, felt their eyes burning with excitement.

The elves who participated in the Blood Hunt but did not join the Prophet's Guard were particularly frustrated.

Suddenly, a clever fellow knelt down, recited an oath of allegiance, and announced his joining the Prophet's Guard.

After reciting the inscription, he entered the treasure vault and collected a legendary treasure.

The other elves were amazed.

As a result, some elves followed suit, joining the Prophet's Guard to obtain legendary treasures.

Silver Lake Wind secretly sent a message to the few elves who were still hesitating.

The elves immediately chanted oaths of allegiance and entered the treasure trove to retrieve the treasures.

Some people are still hesitating.

A short while later, Yinhu Feng said, "That's all."

The treasure vault inside the gate was empty.

The elf outside the door felt empty inside.

Zhou Leng led his men out.

Silver Lake Wind took the initiative to open the Sacred Treasury.

The group entered.

Zhou Leng didn't stand on ceremony at all. He put any weapons and equipment that were suitable for human martial artists into the wooden box.

I didn't see any other spirit outfits.

Because there are too many treasures in the Holy Land.

Before long, a group of heavily armed elves stood in the hall.

A few people were assigned to care for the crippled elves, while the rest, led by Silverlake Wind, climbed the spiral staircase to reach the exit of the underground city.

A castle built along the mountainside.

The castle walls were occupied by a massive number of demons and giant insects, and the elves fought and retreated.

"kill!"

At Zhou Leng's command, he was covered in flowing light armor, even his face was obscured, and he charged out with the Frost Cry Sword in hand.

Zhou Leng once chose to study a sword technique from the Xiantian Pavilion called "Star Track Sword," which was the most complex innate sword technique of the Ancient River Sect.

The reason I learned this sword technique was because I was instructed by a martial arts master.

The power of the Star Track Sword is not immediately apparent, but because it contains the trajectory of stars, it is infinitely mysterious. It can not only deepen the understanding of the Star Pointing Sword Qi, but also help in learning the first sword technique of the Ancient River Sect in the future.

Nineteen Swords to Slay Stars.

Zhou Leng only practiced occasionally and never seriously trained because he couldn't find a good weapon.

Ordinary swords simply cannot withstand excessive amounts of true energy.

Zhou Leng used an ordinary steel sword, not for combat, but merely to infuse it with true energy. After a hundred moves, the sword shattered.

With the Frost Cry Sword, everything is completely different.

Zhou Lengyun used the Star Orbit Sword to rush up the city wall and attack the demons.

Since I haven't mastered the Star Trail Sword yet, I'm extremely unfamiliar with using it.

Ordinary elves couldn't tell, but Silverlake Wind saw it at a glance. He was puzzled, but he couldn't care less. He used a legendary spell to empower the other elves and heal their injuries.

He did not attack the ordinary and innate demons, because if he did, it would inevitably attract other legends.

The Star Track Sword contains the mysteries of the movement of the stars in the heavens, making it extremely difficult to cultivate.

Zhou Leng hadn't practiced much, and when he went straight into actual combat, the results were mediocre at first.

Killing enemies is less efficient than just wielding a big sword and hacking around.

However, Zhou Leng didn't care. He fought, practiced, and filled in the gaps in his knowledge at the same time.

The divine sword incantation of the Star Orbit Sword spun rapidly in his mind.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour...

One hour, two hours...

When you're tired, take a sip of the queen ant's juice.

If your true energy is insufficient, swallow a small piece of ancient tree fossil.

With the addition of bark armor, the battle never stopped.

The other elves fought countless rounds, but Zhou Leng fought on the city wall the whole time, killing his way from one side to the other and back again.

Blood continued to flow down the silver armor, and the camouflage pants were now wrapped in thick cotton-like material from the demon blood and insect juice.

After three hours of fighting, Zhou Leng finally had an epiphany.

Star Trail Sword, for beginners.
