Chapter 315 - The Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge is a Saber (2/2)

“You think so?”

Qin Nan stood firmly against the suspicious looks of the crowd as he spoke in a calm tone, “Maybe in your eyes, it’s very suspicious that I’m able to draw the sword out from the ground. That being said, it’s time for me to reveal the true appearance of this sword to you all!”

The true appearance?

Everyone was stunned, including Jianghuang too.

“The Heavens and Earth give birth to fascinating objects, and may the true appearance be unveiled after being shrouded for ten years!”

Qin Nan held the hilt and sensed the great joy coming from the Weapon Spirit of the sword. He then uttered a roar and pointed the sword at the sky, as endless flames were emitted from his palms, engulfing the broadsword.

Any magical weapon, or a rare treasure of the Heavens and Earth would never be incinerated by mere flames.

However, the broadsword appeared to be extremely vulnerable to the flames, like a dry branch of a tree, as it was completely ignited after coming into contact with the flames. Furthermore, the flames grew even stronger to a height of sixty feet, causing the crowd’s faces to be lit up.

The broadsword was expected to be destroyed due to the combustion, but the crowd could hear a clear buzz taking place within the flames. Following it, a shocking beam of light was fired into the sky from the flames.

BANG!

The tall flames instantly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the sword.

The crowd could now see the difference in the appearance of the broadsword, as its surface was filled with cracks like a spiderweb. A moment later, its entire body shattered into pieces.

“This is…”

Jianghuang’s pupils contracted.

“The Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge was naturally formed by the Heavens and Earth. It is a rare object, and does not belong to the category of magical weapons. There is no Weapon Spirit inside it, but there exists a powerful conscience.” Qin Nan’s calm voice could be heard, ”You guys thought you had to awaken the presence inside it in order to draw it out from the ground, but you were wrong; in order to draw it out, it was not the presence you should awaken, but its real appearance. I’ve managed to discover its real appearance, thus I’m able to draw it out with a single sentence!”

“That is because, the Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge is not a sword at all!”

“The Heavy Sword with no Sharp Edge is a sword! But the Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge—it’s a saber!”

It was as if the words were filled with a certain magic, which caused the souls of the crowd to quaver.

The broadsword in Qin Nan’s hand shuddered violently, as if it was extremely joyful. At that instant, the cracks on its surface were peeled off on its own, dropping to the ground. A snowish-white, crescent-shaped, twelve-foot long saber emitting an icy glow appeared before the crowd!

At that instant, an endless stream of Saber Intent burst out from it, as if winter had arrived, resulting in the crowd’s hearts being filled with an icy chill.

Buzz!

The huge saber emitted a terrifying glow that penetrated the sky, as it stood firmly before the crowd.

Countless years later, its true form had finally been revealed to the world!

At that instant, the geniuses, the authorities, and Jianghuang were completely lost for words.

Who would expect the true form of a broadsword to be a saber!

Who would expect this to be the true appearance of the Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge!

“The Heavy Sword with no Sharp Edge is a sword, and the Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge is a saber… Who would have thought, who would have thought; so the reason that this sword is unable to be drawn out was because it had always been waiting for someone to awaken its true form!” Jianghuang mumbled to himself after a slight hesitation. Following this, his eyes were filled with utter joy as he exclaimed, “What a surprise, even I, a half-Martial Highness was unable to discover the truth. Qin Nan, what a great surprise you’ve given me.”

After saying this, he straightened his face and uttered a roar, “In the name of the City Lord of Jianghuang City, I hereby declare the winner of the selection to be… Qin Nan!”
