Chapter 326 - Duan Lis gift! (1/2)

”Fuuh!” Duan Li exhaled a mouthful of air as he finished the last weapon. All in all, he had managed to upgrade 14 weapons to the ultimate grade, including the katana.

Pah!

He tossed the final completed weapon, which was a saber, into the lake with the rest of the other weapon for quenching.

During the process, he found out that trying to alternate between his left and right hand was not possible while hammering down those weapons. There was a mysterious force preventing him from doing so.

Therefore he could only do it alternatingly after each weapon was completed.

As a result, he was able to forge 14 weapons in total!

Although he was now fatigued, if he pushed himself, forging 20 ultimate graded weapons should be doable in the future!

”Oh? You guys are back.” Duan Li finally noticed the rest of his followers as he sat down on a boulder. At this time, his topless body was full of sweat and his body temperature was quite high to the point that vapors were radiating off his body, making him look quite dashing!

Xu Rong blushed when she saw this. As for Xiahou Yu, she only seemed to give Duan Li a single glance before her attention turned towards the pile of weapons laying inside the lake.

A hint of astonishment could be seen on her usually poker face expression.

”Those weapons..” she exclaimed in surprise.

”Hmm?” the rest of them that just came turned towards the same direction as Xiahou Yu.

”This..!!”

While Duan Li's followers each has their own personality, and would sometimes look dumb, they were no fools. A single glance on those 14 weapons slapped their brain so hard that they thought they were dreaming!

”U-Ultimate graded weapons...” Wei Shang was the first one to utter a sentence to break their stupor.

”Impossible!!” Fei Longwei narrowed his eyes grimly as he clenched his fists tight.

If we remember correctly, that saber over there that he just threw into the lake was the one that he just forged..

And its an ultimate graded weapon too...

Don't tell me..

He forged all these ultimate graded weapons?!

With the exception of the defeated Shen Murong and Wang Dong whose face were like ghouls, everyone's mouth was wide agape and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Ultimate graded weapons, like their title, were only things that existed in the legends. It would take someone extremely lucky from the result of accumulating good deeds in their previous lifetime for such a chance to happen.

But what is this?

Why do we see 14 ultimate graded weapons laying inside the lake as if they were some useless trash?

Aren't they supposed to be placed on top of some holy pedestal where only the worthy could pull them out?

Where was the promised adventure and trials to obtain them?

Where was the sense of achievement and emotional breakdown when one finally managed to lay their eyes on them?!

”D-Did you... made all these?” Fei Longwei asked with a bit of stutter in his voice, unbecoming of him who was usually aloof and uncaring for the world.

Duan Li shook his head, ”I only upgraded these antique weapons. Its nothing too impressive to be honest.” he replied casually.

Pu!

Fei Longwei felt stifled in his chest and had trouble breathing.

You managed to defeat everyone here by yourself and made us your followers? Fine, perhaps it was destined.

You were able to blow away thousands of monsters from the monster stampede with a single punch? Fine, perhaps you are too strong to be compared with the normal standards.

You were able to become the Imperial Overseer? Extremely difficult, but not entirely impossible after everything you've done.

However..

You upgrading antique weapons to ultimate graded weapons and you call that 'nothing too impressive'?

Pui!

You are taking this matter too lightly!

Brother, perhaps you didn't know yet, but even our Emperor, Jiu Xian Ping does not have a single ultimate graded weapon in his possession yet, and this was despite him having the resources of an entire empire to his disposal!

To my best knowledge, the Emperor only has two Legendary graded weapon, one for him and another for the Queen Dowager!

Legendary graded weapons are also extremely rare. Not only that the weapon must be forged from the most rarest mineral in the Tian continent, but it has to be infused with spiritual Qi all the time for several decades!

Only after several generations would they be completed and has to go through the unique baptism of nature in the final stage to receive their blessings and become a legendary graded weapon!

It was said that, whenever a legendary weapon was drawn out from their scabbard, the sun and the moon would lose their shine and the stars to dim!

They were used as strategic level weapon and was able buff out allies and debuff the enemies in a large battlefield!

As for ultimate graded weapons, their capabilities went far beyond that, such that they were entirely immune to elemental attacks!

In fact, since it was extremely rare to find out someone that possesses an ultimate graded weapon, not a lot was able to be documented in the history books. As a result, no one was absolutely sure how powerful an ultimate graded weapons could be.
