Chapter 124 (1/2)
In the warehouse.
Lin Xun sat upright in front of the high table, held a sharp inscribing pen and gently dipped the “Blue-water Spiritual Ink”. By exquisite perception, Lin well controlled his spiritual power, blended it into the tip of the pen and began to inscribe spiritual tattoo on the saber.
His back was straight and he concentrated his attention on inscribing. His handsome face had a kind of extraordinary calmness and peace.
“Have you seen anyone who was able to refine a spiritual device with the cultivation of Martial Realm?” In the distance, Young Man stared at Lin Xun’s back and looked somewhat stunned.
“Yes, I have, but such people are very few. Some gifted descendants of the three aristocratic families of spiritual tattooists in the empire are able to do this,” Old Mo meditated and said.
“Have you seen such a situation and someone like Lin Xun?” Young Man continued to ask and was still in a trance.
Young Man sighed with emotion before Old Mo could answer, “No, at least I have not heard of the news on anyone like him before. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is only a spiritual apprentice, but he is refining a spiritual weapon by himself. If I have not seen it with my own eyes, I will doubt whether it is true.”
Old Mo’s expression was a little complicated, “This guy is really unique. I once met a female student named Feng Qingyou who was as 13 or 14 years old at that time in the Green-deer School. Like Lin Xun, she also has attainments beyond imagination in spiritual tattoos. After several years, she became a spiritual tattoo master at the age of nineteen, which shocked the whole Green-deer School and caused a sensation throughout the whole empire. And she is called ‘Talented Girl’, therefore.”
After a pause, he continued, “I knew it later that the father of this female student is the person in charge of Feng’s Family, one of the three aristocratic families of spiritual tattoos. And her mentor is the dean of Spiritual Tattoo Department of Green-deer School. So, it is not surprising that she can become a ‘Spiritual Tattoo Master’ at the age of nineteen.”
Hearing this, Young Man suddenly said, “Do you mean that Lin Xun is different from the girl named Feng Qingyou?”
Old Mo nodded, “Yes. Lin Xun even shows higher attainments than Feng Qingyou at that time in spiritual tattoos. At least… Feng Qingyou at his age was unable to remould the spiritual furnace of Ziying Battleship.”
Only by contrast could we know the true value of an object, and the same was true of people.
When Young Man heard this, there was a stir in her mind and she looked at the back of Lin Xun in the distance in a different way, “So the guy’s future achievement is destined to be greater than Feng Qingyou’s?”
Old Mo nodded without hesitation and said, “I wonder where this guy comes from on earth. People like him are not supposed to be in Bloodthirsty Camp!”
Young Man frowned and said, “Old Mo, you’d better not let out the information about Lin Xun. He is so young now. If he is targeted, he may have honor and position beyond imagination later, but he is destined to be a vassal of others and have no command over himself!”
Old Mo looked a little different and he did have the thought. In his opinion, it was a waste of a talent that Lin Xun stayed in Bloodthirsty Camp. He was supposed to be in the Forbidden City and the Green-deer School where he was destined to be able to cut a conspicuous figure, display his ambitions and become world-famous.
“Don’t forget how you came here,” Young Man glanced at Old Mo.
The sentence caused a sudden change of Old Mo’s look and he finally said bitterly, “Indeed, without enough power, one has to be oppressed by the big shots; no matter how high the honor and position are, they are still meaningless.”
Young Man said, “Old Mo, I hope you can remember what you said today. I will report today’s thing to Chief Shu. I believe if he knows it, he will have the same idea as me.”
Chief Shu was Shu Sanqi.
Hearing this, Old Mo completely extinguished the last fantasy in his heart and said, “Well, I just cherish talents. Since you don’t agree with me, I won’t bother to say anything more.”
At the moment, a buzz and then a ripple of clang from a saber arose in the warehouse.
Old Mo and Young Man raised their heads and saw Lin Xun had stood up and was looking at the saber held by him.
Wisps of ripple-like light veiled the saber. The color was like blue sea and lake and made people feel a sense of vastness.
He had succeeded!
On the first try!
Old Mo and Young Man were experienced and knowledgeable. At one sight, they realized that the saber which was originally an ordinary weapon had changed completely and become a spiritual weapon- Greenwave Saber!
They looked at each other and saw the shock which could not be hided in each other’s eyes.
Refining a spiritual weapon successfully on one try. Such a success rate should be from a spiritual apprentice only on the seventh level of Martial Realm… What a shock!
…
It was late at night, but Camp 40 was not quiet.
The 39 trainees all gathered. They stood in the hall of the camp and listened to the analysis of their Drillmaster Residual Wolf.
Residual Wolf was a thin man with a pale face and blade-like eyes long and narrow. His temperament was effeminate and cold. He was just like a wolf cruising on the wasteland and seeking to devour a human being.
“Drillmaster Young Ke is very powerful. Among the whole forty camps, she is one of the ruthless characters whom I’d never want to fight with.”
The effeminate voice of Residual Wolf, which was like a serpent hissing, arose. Even though they had been used to it, a chill still came to many trainees.
