Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 34 God-Slaying Flying Knife

Fang Tian took out all the unused items from the two storage soul tools, poured kerosene on them, burned them, and then buried them in a pit. He completely destroyed any evidence.

He then took out another bottle of potion and used it to disguise and change the color of his storage belt and storage ring.

After carefully inspecting and confirming that there were no special markings on the storage belt, Fang Tian handed it over to Qiu Fengyan. As for the five-cubic-meter storage ring, Fang Tian kept it for himself.

From now on, the storage belt will be used to store large weapons and equipment such as bows and arrows, while the storage ring will be used to store daily necessities and throwing knives. This will make retrieving weapons faster and more accurate.

After completely eliminating all traces, the two quickly headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

"Hey, have you heard? The son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect leader has awakened a pig's martial soul!"

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Fang Tian and his companion found a random inn to wash up, preparing to rest for the night before returning to Soto City. Meanwhile, they were having dinner at a restaurant.

At this moment, Fang Tian suddenly heard something unexpected and immediately perked up his ears.

"How come I haven't heard about it? I bet everyone on the entire continent has. Hehe, do you think it's a spirit mutation or that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan leader was cuckolded?"

"Hehe, I bet it'll be..."

……

The voices behind them grew quieter, presumably because these people dared not provoke the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Therefore, the whispers behind them subsided.

Fang Tian calculated the time and found that Yu Xiaogang had indeed awakened his martial soul around this year.

However, it seems there's not much we can do to help. Even if we wanted to save Bibi Dong, it would be a long time before we could do so.

Improving yourself is the most important thing; without the ability, nothing you say matters.

Fang Tian shook his head and continued eating.

During this time, they also heard news about the upcoming Soul Master Competition. However, neither Fang Tian nor Qiu Fengyan were interested in it.

After several disguises, the two returned to Wanghun Village outside Soto City to continue their arduous cultivation.

Fang Tian sensed something strange when he last refined the Willow Leaf Flying Knife to its ultimate level. It seemed that after he completely refined the Willow Leaf Flying Knife, he could store it into his body.

Fang Tian decided to give it a try. So he took out a willow-leaf throwing knife and completely refined it, continuously infusing his spirit into it.

In that moment of ultimate transcendence, Fang Tian sensed a strange connection between himself and the flying knife. It felt as if they were one, bound by a shared destiny, bound by life and death.

Fang Tian didn't know why a dead object like a throwing knife would produce this feeling, but he knew that the throwing knife could indeed be stored in his body at this moment.

Fang Tian's mind stirred, and he felt the willow-leaf throwing knife enter his body with a whoosh.

As the throwing knife entered the body, the mind that had been inside the throwing knife also entered the body at the same time.

Fang Tian felt himself enter a small space, about a thousand meters in diameter. Gray mist swirled around the space, while thin purple clouds surged below. Below the clouds, ripples spread across the surface of a small lake, with occasional waves rising and falling.

"Purple? The only purple color in my body is due to the continuous nourishment of purple energy. So this should be the upper dantian, one of the three dantians—the sea of ​​consciousness," Fang Tian thought to himself.

Fang Tian "looked" at himself and discovered that his consciousness was not humanoid, but rather shaped like a willow-leaf throwing knife. However, Fang Tian felt that it was not impossible for him to manifest in human form.

However, throwing knives are more lethal, and they are more suitable for fighting with people.

This is his own sea of ​​consciousness. Fang Tian had wondered before if he could accomplish whatever he wanted with a single thought within his own sea of ​​consciousness.

Fang Tian tried to enlarge the throwing knife, and it did indeed grow larger. However, the larger it became, the more ethereal it appeared.

Fang Tian then manipulated the flying knife to sink into the purple lake below. He discovered that the lake could continuously nourish the flying knife, which in turn was his own spiritual consciousness.

Fang Tian was overjoyed, as this would allow his mental consciousness to grow stronger even more quickly.

After his initial excitement, Fang Tian continued exploring his sea of ​​consciousness. He controlled the flying knife to soar out of the lake and towards the edge of his sea of ​​consciousness. As he approached the edge, he discovered that the purple lake was constantly encroaching on the surrounding gray mist, and his sea of ​​consciousness was slowly expanding.

Fang Tian searched around but found nothing else, so he left his sea of ​​consciousness and returned to the outside world. Only then did Fang Tian realize that the throwing knife had not been completely stored in his sea of ​​consciousness; most of it remained in his hand.

However, the throwing knife at this moment was as if it had been severely weathered, and it would shatter at the slightest touch.

"It seems that its essence has been integrated with spiritual consciousness. Could this method be used to quickly strengthen spiritual consciousness?" Fang Tian's mind took a turn for the better.

Without hesitation, Fang Tian took out another throwing knife and repeated the process. He discovered that the throwing knife, condensed from his spiritual consciousness, was even more solid. Overjoyed, Fang Tian continued refining it.

However, after refining the nine throwing knives, the effect ceased.

"Hmm? Is it a problem with the material of the throwing knives?" Fang Tian pondered. So Fang Tian rushed to Soto City and ordered ten more throwing knives, all of which were made of a special, tough copper.

After receiving the throwing knife the next day, Fang Tian continued his experiments.

However, the refining speed of the throwing knife this time was much slower than before. It used to take about a minute to refine an ordinary throwing knife. Now, it took Fang Tian half an hour to barely refine a throwing knife made of tough purple copper, and that was with the help of blood sacrifice.

Fang Tian put the tough bronze throwing knife into his body and found that his mental awareness had indeed improved, and by a significant amount. The improvement from this tough bronze throwing knife was comparable to that of the nine ordinary throwing knives.

Fang Tian was overjoyed and continued to refine the throwing knives made of tough purple copper. However, an unfortunate thing happened: the throwing knives made of special metal could only absorb nine knives.

Does this mean that each metal can only absorb nine, or more specifically, that each metal can only absorb a certain amount?

Undeterred, Fang Tian went to the blacksmith's shop and had various metal throwing knives custom-made. He even bought one particular metal instead of having it made into a throwing knife.

Fortunately, the throwing knives didn't require many materials, so Fang Tian spent all the money he had and barely managed to purchase the necessary throwing knives.

Fang Tian then began refining these throwing knives, but eventually discovered that each type of metal could only be absorbed in a certain amount. As expected, the metal that was not forged into a throwing knife was also absorbed.

At this moment, Fang Tian's consciousness-based throwing knife had completely transformed into a metal-forged knife, its surface shimmering with a metallic luster as if it were about to devour its prey.

This throwing knife, forged from the essence of metal combined with spiritual consciousness, is both real and illusory, capable of being both. Fang Tian estimated it could be specifically used to destroy an enemy's spiritual consciousness. However, at this moment, Fang Tian couldn't find anyone to test the knife's specific effects, so he had to postpone the matter.

However, Fang Tian still gave it a name—the God-Slaying Flying Knife. It is a flying knife specifically designed to slay the "god" among "essence, energy, and spirit," hence the name God-Slaying Flying Knife.
