412 Disturb the Grass, Startle the Snake! (1/2)

It would have been all right if Jin Duoming hadn't said that. His words immediately sparked Wang Baole's suspicion. Upon seeing the expression on Wang Baole's face, Jin Duoming hastily waved his right hand and immediately pulled out a Dharmic Armament from his storage bracelet.

It was a flying sword!

It was red and exuded waves of heat as soon as it was pulled out. There seemed to be indistinct, piercing shrills ringing in the air. Within the waves of heat, one might even see the blurry image of a large phoenix appearing behind Jin Duoming. It stood within a vast ocean of fire that appeared to threaten to burn everything.

It was also a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!

Wang Baole's eyes brightened at the sight of the Dharmic Armament. He knew how valuable a Dharmic Armament was. This flying sword was a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament, like his saber. However, it was clearly of better make than the saber. This difference was visible from the aura that the Dharmic Armament exuded.

With the Dharmic Armament before his eyes, he couldn't be bothered to analyze Jin Duoming's words to find the trap in them. Even if there was a trap, so what? If this really turned out to be a losing deal for him, he'd simply come and ask for another Dharmic Armament. There were perks to being friends with the rich and wealthy.

Wang Baole nodded with satisfaction. He seemed to have agreed to what Jin Duoming said. Jin Duoming understood that such verbal agreements weren't reliable, but having one was still better than none. Regardless of the loss he was feeling, he could only sigh and throw the flying sword at Wang Baole. He sighed. He must have been in Wang Baole's debt in his past life. There was no other explanation for why he kept handing Dharmic Armaments over to him.

I'll just have to see this as an investment! With that thought in mind, Jin Duoming felt a lot better.

The two of them sat in the cruiser and headed straight for the new city. On the way back, Wang Baole played around with the flying sword. He even studied and extended his senses towards it. He could immediately tell the difference between the two Dharmic Armaments. When combined with his gains inside the research facility, he could barely wait to go into seclusion and conduct even more in-depth research.

Wang Baole had a feeling that he would definitely reach a breakthrough in his refinement of Dharmic Armaments after this seclusion!

The cruiser carried his anticipation as it sped forward and steadily approached the new city. While Wang Baole was studying the Dharmic Armament, Jin Duoming also started thinking about his own plans. He had come to Mars partly because of the head of his family's request for him to keep an eye on the Divine Armament Catacombs, and partly because he wanted to try and fight for the right to become the successor to his family clan.

After all, he wasn't the only one qualified to become the heir. He had to do his due preparations. Compared to what the other potential successors had chosen, Jin Duoming had initially planned to stake a firm claim over the family's businesses on Mars. However, his father had reminded him to tag along more often with Wang Baole. That was what had resulted in their first contact on Mars.

From the way he saw it, this mobile investment was a steal. He was an important key in breaking up the Martian stalemate!

But how did the old man know that Wang Baole would fly through the ranks on Mars? Jin Duoming had his doubts regarding the matter. He couldn't figure this out. He knew that regardless of how much the old man approved of him, if the latter chose not to reveal the truth to him, he would never get an answer out of the latter, no matter how persistently he asked.

This Wang Baole is really quite an interesting fellow… At that thought, Jin Duoming snuck a glance at Wang Baole, who was busy studying the Dharmic Armament. He thought about the series of events that had happened after Wang Baole had arrived on Mars. He felt a tinge of envy. At the same time, he also recognized Wang Baole for what he had done.

Time passed steadily as Wang Baole studied the Dharmic Armament and the other studied Wang Baole. Divine Armament New City soon appeared before their eyes.

The cruiser approached the city steadily and slowly landed in the port within Jin Duoming's city zone. Even though Wang Baole had made this trip secretly, there were still many people from the four Dao Colleges waiting alongside Lin Tianhao in the port for his arrival.

As soon as Wang Baole stepped out of the cruiser, he saw a smiling Lin Tianhao as well as other familiar faces. A sense of belonging and warmth rose in his heart. He gazed at the buildings around them. This was his city, he thought, and his spirits soared.
