Chapter 82: Demonic Bow
[Qian]
[Grade: Normal]
[Remark: A heavy spear crafted with the literal blood and sweat of the craftsman.]
[Chain]
[Grade: Normal]
[Remark: Four inches thick and about 6 feet in width, it's a heavy weapon made using precious materials.]
[Staff]
[Grade: Normal]
[Remark: A very heavy staff intentionally designed to be weighty by the craftsman.]
[Sword]
[Grade: Half Qi]
[Remark: A sharp blade prepared by Ouyang Fei, a master craftsman, after ten days of work.]
"Not bad," Lu Zhen looked at the pile of weapons neatly organized on the ground with his Appraisal Eyes.
He felt a little weighed down as he wore a big metal bracelet that must have weighed at least 500 kg. It took Lu Zhen some time to adjust to the bracelet's weight and make movements.
"You can leave now," Lu Zhen said to Li Nan, who was bowing to him with reverence.
"Young master, there's another weapon that madam has specially given to you." Li Nan clapped her hands, and two strong men, sweating and visibly red-faced, came carrying a huge box.
The two men were struggling to carry the box, and Lu Zhen could see faint cracks forming in the ground as they stepped on it.
As Lu Zhen observed the two strong men carrying the box, he was a little surprised. He sensed their cultivation levels through their aura, which intrigued him.
Thud!
The two men finally managed to put down the box on the ground, and Lu Zhen could feel the ground shaking slightly, sparking his interest even more.
"Young master, may we leave?" the two men asked, panting heavily.
Lu Zhen simply nodded in response.
With curiosity-filled eyes, he closed his eyes for a brief moment and then opened them, causing his eyes to turn golden. He examined the box closely.
[Lightweight Box]
[Grade: Half-Qi Item]
[Remark: A box specially designed to make the items inside lighter.]
"Even with this box, the thing inside is so heavy?" Lu Zhen's eyes widened in astonishment. However, a frown creased his brows as he realised that he couldn't see what was inside the box.
"I guess this is a limitation of my Appraisal eyes. I can only see things my eyes can see," Lu Zhen pondered, feeling a touch impatient about the contents of the box.
He turned his attention back to Li Nan, who was still bowing before him.
"What is in the box?"
"Young master, there is a bow especially given by madam."
"A bow can be this heavy?" Lu Zhen's eyes widened with intrigue.
Without hesitation, he approached the box and touched it, noting the smooth texture.
"No lock, huh..." Lu Zhen decided to open the chest.
Inside the box, he found an enormous and thick black longbow. The bow emitted a strangely familiar aura, one that seemed similar to Lu Zhen's own.
"Isn't this a little too huge? What arrows will I even use?" Lu Zhen asked Li Nan.
"Young master, I don't know," she replied obediently.
Lu Zhen sighed, feeling like he was talking to an obedient slave whenever he conversed with Li Nan.
His golden eyes remained fixated on the bow.
[Demonic Bow]
[Grade: Intent Item]
[Remark: A very heavy bow that requires demonic qi to use. Origins unknown.]
"Huh, I don't have demonic qi anyway, so why did she give me the Demonic Bow?" Lu Zhen wondered aloud. He attempted to lift the bow, but to his surprise, it felt incredibly heavy.
Huff!
Lu Zhen took a deep breath and tried to lift it again. He managed to do so with great effort, feeling the strain in his hands.
"How heavy," Lu Zhen thought to himself as he examined the massive bow.
"This might be even more suitable than the staff for me to cultivate the body cultivation method," Lu Zhen contemplated as he glanced at Li Nan.
"Let's spar." He noticed a clear hint of hesitation in Li Nan's eyes for the first time.
"Young master, hurting you will..." Li Nan began to voice her concern, but suddenly, she felt a rush of air against her skin. Instinctively, she retreated about ten steps, sensing the imminent danger.
When she felt a little safer, she looked at Lu Zhen, who had just swung the bow at her.
"Let's fight to our hearts' content," Lu Zhen laughed heartily and lunged at Li Nan, the heavy bow still in his hand.
He fully released his terrifying aura as he swung the bow like a domineering saber.
Li Nan felt a heavy sensation as her thoughts seemed to slow down, and her mind was clouded by Lu Zhen's killing intent.
Seeing this, however, Lu Zhen didn't slow down. Instead, his speed increased as he swiftly used the bow to swing.
Li Nan instinctively dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding the bow. With astonished eyes, she watched Lu Zhen's bow strike the ground.
Boom!
Like a bomb, a deafening sound echoed in the surroundings as dust and debris spread everywhere, clouding the vision of Lu Zhen and Li Nan.
"We're not done yet," Li Nan heard a voice from behind, causing her danger instinct to skyrocket.
"I'm going to die," was the only thought in her mind.
A serious expression morphed on her face as her eyes glinted with determination.
With a speed that Lu Zhen could barely see, she appeared behind him in a matter of moments and used a small knife to slash at his back.
"Sigh, my weapon and the bracelet are too heavy," Lu Zhen thought, wanting to turn around. However, his speed barely kept up with Li Nan.
Her knife slashed at Lu Zhen, but to her astonishment, it cracked like glass hitting a rock, leaving not a single scratch on Lu Zhen's skin.
"You win, let's start round 2," Lu Zhen said as he stretched his body.
He was pretty satisfied with the fight. Not only did he test the effectiveness of his aura in battle, but he was also training his body cultivation technique by fighting with the heavy bracers on both his arms and legs, along with the heavy bow.
Li Nan's eyes turned cold.
"Good girl, that's what I wanted."
