But this ancient sword is different. It is a real murder weapon. It can not only kill others, but also kill itself. So Masashi Tomiyama was indeed cautious at this moment. When he looked at Schneider, the latter was calm.
Masashi Tomiyama understood instantly and said to Lin Ye, "Of course you can, but you have to be careful. This ancient sword is imbued with a rule-like cutting power. If you really want to try it, you must be careful when you hold the hilt, otherwise..."
Before Masashi Tomiyama could finish speaking, he obediently shut up the next moment, because the knife was already in Lin Ye's hand.
A buzzing sound.
The moment Lin Ye grasped the ancient sword, he could immediately feel the sword's yearning for him.
That's right, it's longing.
The feeling is like parched fields yearning for long-awaited dew. When the rain falls, the seeds buried deep in the earth tremble as they are nourished by the dew, waiting to sprout anew.
A mysterious force seemed to flow along the blade. Finally, this force moved, and with a sharp crack, Lin Ye's palm was instantly cut, blood gushing out.
At that very moment, a powerful suction force emanated from the hilt of the ancient sword. The blood flowing from Lin Ye's palm was rapidly absorbed by the hilt, which even locked Lin Ye's entire hand firmly in place. The sword seemed to come alive, like a monster, and the hilt was the monster's mouth, biting Lin Ye's hand tightly.
During this process, as Lin Ye's blood continued to flow, patterns began to bloom on the originally worn-out blade, spreading out like vines. The ancient blade seemed to be reborn at this moment, emitting a violent tremor. Everyone present found it unbelievable, for they actually heard a wildly joyful scream emanating from the blade.
"Damn it, I'm hiding!"
Fingel, who was drinking hot chocolate, suddenly seemed to sense something and let out a strange cry. He twisted his buttocks to the left, and then an invisible and sharp stream of air shot out from the empty space he had exposed, leaving a very narrow hole in the carpet behind him.
Fingel shuddered violently. If he hadn't dodged in time, one can imagine how badly he would have fared.
All of this happened in an instant. By the time Masashi Tomiyama truly realized it, the upheaval had already begun, and the middle-aged teacher's expression immediately changed drastically.
Because everything happened so fast, Masashi Tomiyama was caught off guard. The entire carriage was filled with the clanging sound of howling wind. The wind swept up, and after the alchemical ancient sword absorbed Lin Ye's blood, the originally broken blade quickly healed at this moment, just like a dusty weapon being blown away from its thick layer of dust, revealing a new luster and power.
This power is extremely strong, terrifying, and bloodthirsty. It should be noted that this sword has killed tens of thousands of soldiers in its history, making it a veritable weapon of mass destruction. Now that the opponent has awakened, wisps of scarlet mist emanate from the sword, thick and persistent, gradually transforming into a face that resembles a screaming mask in reality, appearing extremely distorted.
As soon as the face was fully formed, it let out a ferocious roar at Lin Ye.
"Damn it, this ancient alchemical sword actually seals a living spirit inside! My God, what kind of national joke is this!"
Masashi Toyama suddenly cried out in surprise.
Even Schneider's expression turned serious.
This was completely unexpected, because this ancient sword had been studied by researchers at Kassel College for many years. It could be said that they had almost figured out the structure of this weapon, but they never expected that it would contain a living entity.
"Damn, a living spirit? No way, whose spirit is this? Could it be that Prime Minister Liu Rengui's?"
Fingel asked nervously from the side.
He was half-huddled up, his muscular physique barely visible. His clothes were completely torn to shreds. Whether he was lucky or unlucky, as Lu was constantly awakening, the cutting power was unleashed and almost all of it rushed towards him. In the end, Fingel could only desperately dodge, but fortunately, he escaped unharmed and only now began to catch his breath.
Even Masashi Tomiyama, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but remark that Fingel was really tough; his clothes had been cut to pieces, but his skin wasn't badly damaged.
Masashi Tomiyama vaguely remembered the old professor who had testified for Fingel. After lecturing Fingel, the professor left with a dark face and a constipated expression, cursing and swearing. Later, he learned that the old professor with the bronze throne had reportedly swollen his own hand during the process of unleashing his power of words to subdue Fingel. This showed just how resilient Fingel was.
That situation was probably something even Fingel himself hadn't anticipated.
Back then, the fearless young Fingel thought he could fight the old professor for three hundred rounds and at least show his potential. As a result, he was beaten up by the old professor and Fingel surrendered on the spot. Little did he know that the old professor was also convinced at that time, but not because of Fingel's attack ability, but because of his opponent's ability to withstand blows, which made the old professor admire him on the spot.
Fingel must have had a pretty tragic life.
While other freshmen at Kassel College presented various artifacts bearing traces of dragons to prove their acceptance of the dragon worldview, Fingel was simply beaten into submission.
such as.
Professor: Kid, do you believe in dragons?
Fingel: I don't believe it.
Professor: *smack!* (Punch) Do you believe me now?
Fingel: ...I absolutely refuse to believe it!
Professor: *Clap clap clap clap clap!*
Fingel: I believe, I believe, I believe it from head to toe! Please stop hitting me, I can't take it!
Upon hearing the word "living spirit," Fingel's expression changed drastically.
Although he was always a slacker at Kassel College and was relatively weak in other courses, he had attended a few alchemy biology classes, in which he learned about things like living spirits. It was said that powerful dragons used pure flames to kill metal, thereby removing the substances inside, and then revived the metal. This incredible method was called regeneration technology. The weapons forged in this way had very powerful properties and could even imprison the soul.
The so-called "living spirit" is actually a soul sealed within an alchemical weapon, thus transforming it into the weapon's own will, which can even obey the forger's wishes and thoughts.
"Impossible. This could never be the spirit of Prime Minister Liu Rengui, because a living spirit can only be sealed within a weapon just before it is forged. This ancient sword was already on the battlefield when the Battle of Baekgang broke out; otherwise, the Japanese would not have been so badly defeated."
Masashi Tomiyama said in a solemn tone.
However, a greater question arose in his mind: if this was not Liu Rengui's spirit, then whose spirit was it? And who sealed it inside?
And for some reason, this living creature looks a bit like Lin Ye!
Chapter 148 Fusion and Recognition of Master [Please Subscribe!]
Masashi Tomiyama was utterly shocked. Although he didn't know what kind of creature was inside the ancient alchemical sword, he was certain that the creature was some kind of extremely ancient being.
Although Masashi Tomiyama is only a counselor at Kassel College, he was very fond of alchemy when he was a student. Especially after graduating and becoming a counselor at Kassel College, in addition to learning about alchemy from textbooks, he also went to the library to expand his alchemical knowledge. His idol was an alchemy master like the vice principal.
Because of his exceptional alchemical knowledge, Masashi Tomiyama has a profound understanding of so-called "living spirits." After all, living spirits are, to some extent, products of alchemical processes. The quality of a living spirit is directly proportional to the quality of an alchemical weapon. In other words, the stronger the material of the alchemical weapon, the stronger the sealed living spirit itself will be, thus enabling it to withstand the unique properties of the alchemical weapon.
It's worth mentioning that although the origin of this alchemical weapon is unknown, the ability to create naturally regular patterns on the blade of this ancient sword is equivalent to adding a kind of rule attribute to the weapon. This kind of ability is only possessed by pure-blooded dragons at least at the third generation level.
Now, the fact that the blade is severely corroded only indicates that its regenerative power has been greatly weakened. Although an alchemical weapon can regenerate like a hybrid, and can quickly heal itself even if it is damaged, alchemical weapons are similar. However, this regenerative ability is not the most powerful; the most powerful aspect of an alchemical weapon is its additional attributes.
The power of eternal regeneration is a capability possessed only by the first-generation species. Any alchemical artifact crafted by a first-generation species, no matter how intensely it has been eroded by time, would not be so rusty. Therefore, Masashi Toyama was able to determine that this alchemical weapon must have been forged by a powerful, pure-blooded dragon of the second-generation species level.
Any alchemical weapon crafted at this level will have a unique, exclusive domain. For example, this ancient alchemical sword named Lu has a domain called Slicing.
The so-called "slicing domain," as the name suggests, means that once the sword is activated, a terrifying domain can be released centered on the blade. This domain appears to be sliced by countless gusts of wind. In a sense, activating this domain is similar to a hybrid's activation of its own incantation. Of course, alchemical weapons don't possess self-awareness like hybrids, so activating their domains is often not as free and unrestrained as a hybrid's. However, once the alchemical weapon possesses a living spirit, it becomes entirely different.
It's as if this weapon has developed its own consciousness. Once it possesses such an attribute, then this weapon is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, because this weapon has its own core, which is the release of a domain. Once this will wants to release the domain, then no one knows when it will happen.
Many people might not understand why an alchemical weapon with a living spirit is so terrifying. To put it simply, consider an atomic bomb with its own will. That is, how or when the atomic bomb wants to explode is no longer something that humans can decide, but rather something that the atomic bomb itself decides.
Of course, saying that might be a bit of an exaggeration, after all, what kind of powerful alchemical weapon can compare to an atomic bomb? Even so, the principle is the same. This alchemical weapon called Lu, although not as powerful as an atomic bomb, once its unique core domain is activated, it is equivalent to releasing a terrifying and powerful storm. Anything in this storm will be instantly shredded into pieces.
One can imagine that if a person were in that situation, they would be reduced to blood and gore in no time.
It was only at this moment that Masashi Tomiyama realized the seriousness of the problem. Unbeknownst to them, they had boarded a train carrying a small nuclear weapon. The key issue was that this nuclear weapon possessed its own will and could explode at any moment if the other party was in a bad mood. The crucial point was that this group of people were completely unaware of this and even took it out as evidence.
This truly proves what it means to "if you don't court trouble, you won't die."
Masashi Tomiyama smiled wryly. The main problem was that the old scholars and professors at Kassel College had studied it for years without discovering that a living spirit was hidden within the ancient alchemical sword. This was truly inconceivable, and what was even more absurd was that one of them had actually activated the ancient alchemical sword. Now, the sword was trembling and roaring with fervent passion, seemingly awaiting its final, exhilarating release.
Yes, this crisis is far from over; in fact, it has only just begun. As the blood in Lin Ye's palm was being frantically absorbed by the hilt of the sword, the blade itself activated an extremely violent mode. Perhaps a spectacular eruption is imminent.
Upon thinking of this, Masashi Toyama's face turned deathly pale.
He couldn't understand what kind of monster Lin Ye was, that his own blood could directly activate the life force of this ancient alchemical sword, even awakening it into this berserk state.
After all, even if a hybrid's own blood can be activated, it's not something that can be activated in an instant; there has to be a gradual process.
It wasn't that Masashi Tomiyama was overreacting; the situation had truly reached its most critical moment. After all, this ancient alchemical sword, named "Lu," had slaughtered tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in the Battle of Baekgang, leaving them utterly annihilated. It was said that on that day, flames reached the sky and the sea turned crimson, a veritable bloody disaster. Masashi Tomiyama firmly believed that Prime Minister Liu Rengui was an extremely powerful hybrid, but even if he were powerful, he could never have caused such terrifying destructive power on his own. The fact that such a disaster had occurred could only mean one thing: the ancient alchemical sword was extremely terrifying. One could imagine that once this ancient sword was fully activated, a storm of death would completely engulf the entire carriage, and those present would be as if they were being entangled in a laser net in a movie, instantly being sliced into pieces of flesh.
Good heavens, now they've even saved on cremation costs, truly a case of dying without a burial place.
At this moment, Masashi Tomiyama was still tightly gripping a walkie-talkie, which could directly connect to the driver's cab of train CC1000. If this ancient alchemical sword truly went berserk, Masashi Tomiyama would not hesitate to notify the train conductor to immediately leave this carriage and then have the executives from Kassel College come to take possession of the sword.
As for the instigator, Lin Ye, Masashi Tomiyama will also try to help him as soon as possible.
After all, the boy's predicament was caused by their Kassel College, and they had to save him.
Although Masashi Tomiyama's Word of Power is only auxiliary, it still has a certain combat power. Masashi Tomiyama saw the long black box on the table. It was very tough, otherwise it would not have been used as the scabbard for this ancient alchemical sword. Masashi Tomiyama had already decided that if necessary, he would roll to the box, hug it, and use it as a shield to block the way. Finally, he would use this defense to give Lin Ye a flick on the head, so that the other party would wake up from his panic and then pull the boy out of this storm of death.
This was the plan that Masashi Tomiyama formed in his mind at that moment.
At this moment, he unleashed his full potential. Keep in mind, he was a clerical worker who hadn't experienced combat in a very long time. Now, under the pressure of death, all the commands in his mind instantly activated. The middle-aged man's gaze was resolute, his expression one of tragic determination to protect Lin Ye at all costs. He had decided that even if it meant sacrificing his own life, he would protect Lin Ye.
Just when Masashi Tomiyama's inner turmoil was enough to fill a Hollywood blockbuster, Schneider remained calmly standing in place.
The other person's long black trench coat fluttered in the wind. The black trench coats worn by the executive department of Kassel College were also made of high-strength fibers that could withstand bullets and explosions. When swords and knives struck the clothes, they wouldn't even leave a scratch. So, the embarrassing situation of being completely naked like Finger was absolutely impossible for Schneider.
The head of the executive department now appeared calm, his iron-gray eyes fixed on Lin Ye.
He was waiting, waiting for Lin Ye to make a move, or rather, waiting until the other party was about to give up.
Based on Schneider's extensive combat experience over the years, he felt that Lin Ye was far from being unable to hold on. He even thought that Lin Ye had already come up with a plan, because the boy had never shown any panic throughout the entire process.
As for why Masashi Tomiyama was so excited, it was entirely because the other party was adding drama to the story. In fact, at the moment this shocking event occurred, only Fingel and Masashi Tomiyama were making a fuss, while Schneider and Lin Ye remained very calm throughout.
However, neither of them realized it.
The former, Fingel, was completely naked, seemingly already sensing the imminent life-or-death crisis, while the middle-aged teacher, Masafumi Tomiyama, had a tragic expression on his face, looking as if he might be ready to sacrifice himself at any moment.
However, Lin Ye remained calm throughout. He did not panic at all because of the appearance of this living being, or because of the wound on his palm and the blood being frantically absorbed by the hilt of the knife.
nothing!
Lin Ye examined the ancient alchemical sword very carefully!
After the knife absorbed his blood, the originally broken blade began to repair itself at a speed visible to the naked eye. In particular, the patterns and designs on the blade appeared extremely dark red, like blood vessels. The constantly beating heart was pumping the frenzied blood throughout the knife, which then emitted a sound like thunder.
This ancient alchemical sword is undergoing a full-scale awakening.
Lin Ye also saw the living creature so close at hand. The creature's face looked like a human face, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to resemble Lin Ye somewhat.
However, Lin Ye could not possibly believe that this face was his own soul, or even the soul of his ancestor. Such a thought was too bizarre, because as a transmigrator, Lin Ye did not belong to this world, so how could he possibly have any connection with this living spirit? The only explanation was that the knife absorbed his blood, causing the living spirit to subconsciously take his form when it revived. Ultimately, this was definitely not Lin Ye's doing; perhaps it was simply because the other party absorbed his blood, that's all.
As Lin Ye examined the sword, he could feel its immense power. He even felt an urge to roar to the heavens.
It was as if he were wielding a cleaver, and with all his might, he could slice through the heavens and earth in an instant. Lin Ye could now fully comprehend how spirited and awe-inspiring Liu Rengui, the prime minister of the ancient Tang Dynasty, was when he wielded this alchemical ancient sword. He felt that even if there were tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, or hundreds of thousands, he could still kill them. Because Lin Ye held this sword, he even felt that he could split the sky in front of him, let alone humans.
Moreover, Lin Ye knew that this feeling was not a delusion. It was an extremely strong feeling that arose after he grasped the knife. This feeling was generated by an extremely strong belief and confidence, which was also the belief that the knife had given him.
It was also during this frenzied absorption that Lin Ye felt he was gradually merging with the sword. He even felt that the sword was a part of his arm, which was incredible, but it left a strong imprint on Lin Ye's heart.
Perhaps this is a case of blood oath binding; if so, wouldn't that mean he's about to become the master of this knife?
With this thought in mind, the knife began to tremble, a feeling of intense joy.
No way, it really is?!
Lin Ye exclaimed inwardly.
The knife trembled more and more violently, and its connection with Lin Ye grew stronger and stronger. But in Masafumi Tomiyama's eyes, this was a completely different and terrible change.
The middle-aged teacher couldn't help but make a big fuss again.
"Oh no! Lin Ye is about to lose control! Quick, think of something!"
"I'm anxious," Masashi Tomiyama said.
