I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"I'm not in a hurry."

"But now that I'm here, there's no reason for me to leave empty-handed."

The air seemed to freeze slightly after Shen Tian said those words.

Lei Wanshan's dark face twitched twice, looking at Shen Tian as if he were an alien.

This kid's got a stubborn streak!

Didn't you see that I, a sixth-tier powerhouse, was just thrown out?

What makes you think you're an exception, you're just a kid?

Just as Zhou Xuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, preparing to forcibly take this great Buddha away.

creak-

The black door that had almost slammed Lei Wanshan against the wall just now slowly opened again.

"Come in."

Only two words.

His voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Zhou Xuan was startled, as if he had been granted a pardon, but then his heart pounded with fear again.

This...this means they let us in?

But judging from Master Guhe's tone, it felt like he was trying to lure them in to kill them.

"Let's go."

Shen Tian, ​​however, was quite composed and stepped inside.

Zhou Xuan followed with a bitter face.

Although Chu Feng was also apprehensive, he was, after all, a local, so he had no choice but to lead the way.

Lei Wanshan, on the other hand, stood there stroking his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his large, round eyes.

Not right.

It's not right.

I know Zhou Xuan is a cunning old fox; he's known for being notoriously slick and cowardly.

But wasn't his attitude towards this boy a little too respectful?

It wasn't the kind of politeness one shows to elders, but rather... a deep-seated reverence?

And that knife in the kid's hand...

Although Lei Wanshan looks rugged, he is actually more meticulous than anyone else.

He saw it clearly in that glance just now.

The patterns on the scabbard, the faint aura of bloodlust emanating from it.

Absolutely the best among S-class items!

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, wielding an S-grade top-quality weapon, could still have Zhou Xuan serve him like a grandson.

If this isn't called having a background, then what is?

"Could he be the illegitimate son of some reclusive powerful figure from Tianyun Prefecture?"

"Or perhaps a special envoy sent down from above?"

Lei Wanshan muttered to himself, and his original plan to make a quick getaway took a different turn.

He has to go and take a look.

Let's see who this kid is, daring to run into the line of fire when Gu He is in a fit of anger.

What if he really is a powerful figure? If I leave now, wouldn't I miss the chance to curry favor with him?

Thinking of this, Lei Wanshan straightened his collar, which had been knocked askew, and shamelessly followed after him.

internal.

The temperature here is twice as high as outside.

A scorching heat wave filled the air.

Before that enormous furnace stood a short, but muscular old man.

He was wearing a vest, and his messy hair made him look like a lion with its mane standing on end.

This is Gu He, the first weapon-making master of Tianyun City.

At this moment, he was facing away from everyone, with a swirling mass of crimson liquid in front of him, and he exuded a violent aura that kept strangers at bay.

"master."

Chu Feng called out cautiously.

Guhe didn't turn around, but just gave a cold snort.

"Were you the ones making a racket outside just now?"

"Has Lei Wanshan still not left?"

Lei Wanshan, who was following at the back, slipped and almost fell flat on his face.

He shrank back, not daring to utter a sound, and even cooperated by hiding his massive body in the shadows.

Zhou Xuan didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He truly had no temper in front of this man.

"Teacher, who is this...?"

Chu Feng was about to introduce Shen Tian.

Guhe suddenly turned around.

Those bloodshot eyes were like two red-hot blades, piercing directly at the crowd.

The terrifying mental pressure instantly made everyone present feel their breath catch in their throats.

I don't care who he is.

Guhe's voice was like a hammer striking a steel plate, hard and cold.

"Chu Feng, I remember telling you this."

"I'm going into seclusion these next few days to break through to the seventh level of mental power. Don't bring anyone with you."

Are you ignoring what I said?

Chu Feng's face turned pale, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

"No...no, Master."

Chu Feng stammered as he explained:

"This Mr. Shen has an S-grade battle sword and wants... wants you to help him upgrade it into a spirit weapon."

"Spirit Weapon?"

Upon hearing those two words, Guhe seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

He was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Upgrade your spirit weapon?"

Do you know how huge that project was?

"Do you know how much mental energy that would consume for me?"

"Upgrade a spirit weapon for such a greenhorn?"

"Is he capable of using this?"

Gu He approached step by step, his aura rising steadily, forcing Chu Feng to retreat repeatedly.

"They're ignorant."

"Are you, Chu Feng, being so ignorant too?"

Gu He became increasingly angry as he spoke, his finger almost poking Chu Feng's nose.

"Can I use an S-grade knife?"

"As long as it works, that's fine!"

"Why do we have to upgrade to a spirit weapon?"

"Why did you bring this spoiled brat in here before he could even walk?"

Spit flew everywhere.

Lei Wanshan, listening from behind, shrank back in disbelief.

It’s over.

It seems I made the wrong bet this time.

This kid doesn't have any powerful connections.

If he had connections, Guhe, that stubborn old mule, would at least give him some face and wouldn't curse him so harshly.

Looks like he's just an arrogant rich kid who thinks he's above everyone else and wants to show off because his family has some money.

They ended up hitting a brick wall.

Lei Wanshan felt a pang of disappointment.

Should!

Serves you right for pretending!

Now look what happened, he's been scolded like a grandson.

Zhou Xuan also looked utterly desperate at this moment.

He had expected Furukawa to refuse, but he hadn't anticipated such a strong reaction.

This isn't just being unhappy, this is practically eating people alive!

"Master Gu... how about we..."

Zhou Xuan was about to smooth things over and pull Shen Tian away.

Guhe didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Guhe waved his hand.

boom--!

An extremely terrifying invisible force erupted from his body in an instant.

That's sixth-grade mental power!

Faced with this force, they can resist.

But no one dared to resist!

They were afraid of further provoking the master.

From then on, I was destined to have no connection with spirit weapons.

Everyone's bodies were instantly lifted off the ground.

It felt like being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"Since you can't understand human language, I'll send you out!"

At this point, Furukawa had clearly lost all patience.

His mental state was extremely unstable, and he continued to seclude himself. Any slight disturbance would make him extremely irritable.

Chu Feng's face was flushed red from being strangled, and his eyes were filled with despair.

These guys really got me into trouble this time.

Not only did I not help, but I also incurred the teacher's wrath.

Just when everyone thought they would be thrown out the door like a tattered sack the next second.

Guhe's gaze swept over the people he had lifted into the air with his telekinesis.

Finally, it fell on Chu Feng.

Seeing the disheveled state of the young man he admired, Gu He snorted coldly, and the anger in his eyes finally subsided somewhat.

"You all want to upgrade your spirit weapons?"

"Okay."

"Chu Feng, you'll remember this."

"When will you be able to condense a spiritual fire in your sea of ​​consciousness like I do?"

"You help them upgrade."

"But now..."

A cold glint flashed in Gu He's eyes.

"You're not worthy!"

"If you can't help, don't make things worse!"

That's all.

Guhe's terrifying mental power surged again, clearly preparing to unleash his final strength and throw all these eyesores out.

Lei Wanshan closed his eyes, already considering in his mind what posture would be most dignified for landing.

Zhou Xuan's face turned ashen.

It’s over.

This is a complete loss of face.

however.

Shen Tian listened to this so-called spiritual fire.

It felt like he was talking about the golden flame that had gathered in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Could this thing be the fire of the spirit?

"The fire of the spirit?"

Followed by.

puff--

A soft sound.

It sounds like the sound of a lighter being lit.

Guhe's mental power, which was about to erupt, suddenly froze as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Everyone felt a sense of relief; although they hadn't landed, the feeling of suffocation vanished instantly.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

boom!

A golden flame burned remotely in front of Shen Tian.

That wasn't ordinary fire.

There was no temperature, no smoke.

And it's pure gold!

"May I ask, Master, is this the spiritual fire you speak of?"
