Chapter 256: Great Xia, King of the South
Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu and praised him inwardly.
Any other young man would probably be a little arrogant now.
At such a young age, his Martial Dao cultivation was already almost invincible. He was Great Qins side-by-side king and Great Xias You Marquis. No matter which t.i.tle it was, it was something that ordinary people couldnt attain in their entire lives.
However, not only was Zhou Shu not complacent, but he also felt that this reputation was dragging him down.
When he was famous, he was not immersed in this glory. Instead, he was focused on forging. At this time, he was still in the mood to discuss weapons with him.
Perhaps this was why he had achieved so much.
How could such a person not achieve anything?
Zhou Shus enthusiasm for forging also deeply infected Meng Bai.
Wheres your Heavenly Halberd? Could you let me take a look first? Meng Bai didnt hastily agree to buy Zhou Shus Heavenly Halberd.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Shu was famous for forging, he was only a Forging Master.
Even if he had almost taken over the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, it didnt change this fact.
The weapons he forged now were only yellow-grade.
Many years ago, before Meng Bai was injured, the weapon he used was already earth-grade.
Now that he was a first-rank martial artist, it wasnt difficult for him to obtain a heaven-grade weapon with his status and cultivation.
If he used a yellow-grade weapon now, it would be a burden to his own strength.
It was not an exaggeration to say that a yellow-grade weapon wouldnt be able to unleash his strength.
To put it bluntly, to first-rank martial artists, yellow-grade weapons were no different from toys.
w.a.n.g Mu liked the Overlord Spear purely because he liked it. He had a famous sword at the top of the Heaven-grade Armament Manual, so he didnt need other weapons.
He wanted the Overlord Spear purely for fun.
Unlike w.a.n.g Mu, Meng Bai didnt have a weapon.
What he lacked now was a weapon that could match his strength, not a toy.
He knew that Zhou Shu had brought a few large boxes with him when he left Changan. He had taken the Overlord Spear from those boxes.
Meng Bai was curious about what other weapons he had in the boxes.
Of course. Zhou Shu smiled. You definitely have to see it before buying it.
The Heavenly Halberd is only one step away from completion. Ill let you take a look at it later.
Zhou Shu wasnt just saying this.
In the following days, he directly entered a carriage and didnt even show up to eat.
Everyone could only see faint flames flas.h.i.+ng inside the carriage.
The greatest benefit of cultivating the Iron Smelting Hands Technique was that Zhou Shu could forge weapons at any time.
Of course, with his current cultivation in the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, he couldnt forge a weapon anytime, anywhere. But if it was only positioning the stars, it wasnt a big problem.
As the Great Xia diplomatic mission gradually approached the border of Great Xia, Zhou Shu finally walked out of the carriage.
Meng Bai immediately saw the weapon in Zhou Shus hand. Just like w.a.n.g Mu, he was moved!
The weapon was 12 feet long, and there seemed to be the spirit of the Eight Desolates Fire Dragon on the long rod. It was hot to touch, and the sharp tip of the halberd revealed an incomparably ruthless killing intent. The four-edged blade seemed to contain the power of Asura, mind charming and bloodthirsty.
This was an out-and-out killing weapon!
No general could resist its temptation!
Great General, what do you think of this Heavenly Halberd? Zhou Shu said.
Before he went to Great Qin, he had spent countless efforts to forge two weapons.
One of them was the Overlord Spear sold to Great Qins Great General w.a.n.g Xin.
And the other was the Heavenly Halberd.
Zhou Shu had originally planned to find a fierce general in Great Qin to take in as a worker, but the series of events in Great Qin made him unable to find a suitable candidate.
Even so, the Heavenly Halberd had already been forged. He couldnt just leave it there.
Letting Meng Bai have it was not the best choice, but it was better than the weapon being useless in his own hands.
On his horse, Meng Bai took the Heavenly Halberd and waved it a few times.
His spiritual essence surged, and the Heavenly Halberd shone brightly, as if a fire dragon was accompanying it. It was murderous.
What a pity. Meng Bai tried a few times, a look of pity crossing his face. If this weapon were a heaven-grade weapon, it would definitely have a place in the Heaven-grade Armament Manual.
When my forging skills improve in the future, it will become a heaven-grade weapon, Zhou Shu said confidently.
As the number of weapon kills increased, the Legendary Armament Canon would unlock the ability to upgrade weapons. At that time, Zhou Shu would be able to upgrade these weapons.
What other forgers couldnt do was no problem for him.
Meng Bai hesitated for a moment, then said reluctantly, This Heavenly Halberd is very good. However, it doesnt suit me. It cant emit the glory it deserves in my hands. You should find another master for it.
He reluctantly returned the Heavenly Halberd to Zhou Shu.
With Meng Bais status, there was naturally no problem in buying a yellow-grade weapon.
But this was not how Meng Bai saw the problem now. Great Xia was not as powerful as Great Qin. It would be a waste to just keep a good weapon in his hands.
To Meng Bai, this Heavenly Halberd should be used to increase the strength of Great Xia. This was its optimal path.
