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

Chapter 75 Reflections Before the Mountain

"Earthenware pots inevitably break at the well, and generals are bound to die on the battlefield. Cultivators strive to improve themselves in battle, and yet they die in battle; this is perhaps the best fate for a cultivator," Fang Tian remarked with a sigh.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental. He was just an enemy. He's dead, so what? If he came to kill you, wouldn't you have fought back?" Qiu Fengyan rolled her eyes, speechless at Fang Tian's sentimentality.

"Okay, you're pretty, so whatever you say is right. I'll get ready now," Fang Tian said with a smile to Qiu Fengyan.

The two then finished off the Sheep Eagle Douluo and proceeded to cover their tracks completely.

This time, they found two more soul bones, both over 30,000 years old. However, soul bones are useless to the two of them. Fang Yi also cultivates the Bone Forging Technique, so he has no use for them. Similarly, Liu Erlong naturally has no use for them either. If they're not going to sell them for money, then they can only give them to Dugu Bo.

To be honest, we can't keep giving things to Dugu Bo for free. Fang Tian understands the saying, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."

Unless Dugu Bo does something for him as a reward, the rest of these soul bones can only be exchanged for money.

However, these things are not urgent; it's best to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Sword Douluo and the other two must have rushed over after hearing their subordinates report that there were Title Douluos here. Then, seeing our ages, they assumed their subordinates had misjudged, which is why they were so dismissive later," Fang Tian thought to himself.

After the two finished packing, they quickly left with Liu Erlong.

However, although Fang Tian and his companions had left, the matter was far from over. The people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall, and the City Lord's Mansion knew what they had gone to do.

Now, Sword Douluo and Sheep Eagle Douluo are gone forever, and the official Soul Douluo with the Green Ox Martial Soul has also disappeared without a trace.

After an investigation, it was confirmed that all three had disappeared, neither alive nor dead.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Heaven Dou authorities jointly issued a warrant for the arrest of Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan. However, this had no effect on the two, who were skilled in disguise and modification.

The two of them led Liu Erlong on a journey, stopping frequently to admire the scenery along the way. One day, they arrived at a majestic mountain.

The mountains stretch to the horizon, majestic and imposing, seemingly pressing down on those who gaze upon them.

Fang Tian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the mountain. He had won all his previous battles by relying on speed. Although he had mostly crushed his opponents, there would definitely be times in the future when he would have to face his enemies head-on.

Against Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, his speed wouldn't offer much of an advantage. While he could use his martial spirit to fight, gradually diminishing the opponent's attacks regardless of their strength, he would be able to overcome any opponent he encountered.

However, Fang Tian was actually reluctant to use his martial soul. In Fang Tian's mind, his martial soul, the potato seedling, should always be used as an auxiliary skill.

"Oh! I was so stupid before! Since runes can be inscribed on a martial soul, they can naturally be inscribed on my own wild goose feather blade! It seems I was misled by my habitual way of thinking again," Fang Tian thought with annoyance.

"The Goose Feather Blade has been continuously sacrificed by Fang Tian with blood and nourished by his soul power. Moreover, it is made of a special metal. It should be easy to inscribe runes on it, and the quality of the runes formed will be very high."

If the runes of hardness and toughness are engraved on the goose feather blade, the goose feather blade will never be afraid of head-on collisions again.

Not only the runes for hardness and toughness, but other enhancement runes can also be inscribed onto the goose feather blade, such as armor-piercing and sharpness.

In this way, the quality of the Goose Feather Blade will be much stronger than that of other people's martial souls, since the age of the inscribed runes is much higher than the combined age of other people's martial souls.

Similarly, runes can also be engraved on willow-leaf throwing knives, which will increase the strength and lethality of both goose-feather knives by leaps and bounds.

However, the willow-leaf throwing knife is made of ordinary refined iron, so it's not easy to inscribe runes on it! Special metals are needed.

Moreover, throwing knives are consumable items, so using special metals would be too wasteful.

Fang Tian decided to first engrave miniature rune marks on the throwing knife, and then temporarily fill them with blood energy when using the throwing knife.

This not only doesn't affect the throwing knife's power, but also depletes the replenished blood energy quickly, so even if the enemy gets the knife, they won't be able to tell anything. This is because they lack the knowledge and concept of runes.

They'd probably think the throwing knife was engraved with patterns!

"Seeing this mountain has given me some insights. Let's find a place for me to test it out," Fang Tian said to Qiu Fengyan and Liu Erlong.

"You've gained some insights? Let's go to that little valley we just passed. It's peaceful and quiet, perfect for sorting out your thoughts." Qiu Fengyan became excited when she heard that Fang Tian had gained some insights.

Each time Fang Tian gained enlightenment, it would bring Qiu Fengyan some improvement in strength. Now, hearing that Fang Tian had gained enlightenment again, she was even more excited than Fang Tian himself.

The three quickly arrived at the small valley, where Fang Tian began to test his hypothesis.

For safety reasons, Fang Tian decided to start the experiment with the willow leaf throwing knife.

Fang Tian released his God-Slaying Flying Knife and used his hand to engrave it on the willow-leaf flying knife.

The God-Slaying Flying Knife absorbs the essence of many special metals, making it capable of easily shaking matter.

Fang Tian first engraved a miniature, hardened rune on the willow-leaf throwing knife, then filled it with blood energy to test it. Sure enough, he could clearly feel that the throwing knife had become much harder.

Fang Tian was overjoyed, and then inscribed all the runes for toughness, armor penetration, and sharpness onto it.

Now, without needing to use mental energy to sense it, one can see with the naked eye that the throwing knife has been greatly improved.

Fang Tian gathered his strength slightly and shot the throwing knife toward the small hill beside him.

With a "whoosh," the throwing knife pierced through more than fifty meters of rock and flew out from the other side of the mountain.

Fang Tianfei went over and picked up the throwing knife. After examining it carefully, he found that the knife had almost no wear.

"Haha, it really works! The throwing knives are much better than before!" Fang Tian was overjoyed. He then began experimenting on the goose-feather knife.

An hour later, Fang Tian had completed the modification of the goose feather knife.

At this moment, Fang Tian picked up the Goose Feather Blade and channeled his soul power into it. With a "hum," the Goose Feather Blade emitted a faint light and continuously expanded and contracted, as if it were breathing, or as if it were resonating with the laws of heaven and earth around it.

At this moment, the wild goose feather blade seemed to have merged with the laws of heaven and earth.

Fang Tian lightly swung his goose-feather saber, and the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound seemed to tear through the air.

Fang Tian felt that his Goose Feather Blade could slice through anything. Of course, Fang Tian also knew that this was an illusion caused by his sudden increase in strength.

"I really want to find someone to try it out with now!" Fang Tian thought to himself, then turned to Qiu Fengyan.

"Hmm! Forget it, I'll have to heal myself if I get hurt. The worst part is that I might have to coax him a lot." Fang Tian thought with a jolt.
