Chapter 69: A Guest Arrives

  At the time of riding the sword, Yang Tong could clearly feel his own progress. Before, when he rode the sword, it was too stiff and couldn't reach the current state of freedom. Even Yang Tong himself could directly ride the sword to fly.

  Don't think that flying with a sword is easy. If it were, those transportation-type spiritual tools would have been eliminated long ago. Flying with a sword requires not only extremely high control over one's spiritual energy but also precise tuning of one's divine thoughts. A newly promoted divine thought master, without ten or twenty years, or even forty to fifty years of bitter practice, can't even think about flying with a sword.

  Yang Tong set up more and better spiritual goods on the holographic virtual sales counter connected to the school network, which was transformed from a dormitory storage warehouse, and gradually gained some small reputation.

  Yang Tong's counter sells mostly close combat weapons, and among the Wu Ling Masters, he has a considerable customer base. His reputation is largely blown up by word of mouth.

  There are many Wu Ling masters, so the market is naturally large. Although the profit is not high, it's a case of small profits but quick turnover. Moreover, Yang Tong often accepts online equipment forging commissions, and his reputation has risen naturally as a result.

  Because Yang Tong's goods are never delivered to the door, if you want something, you have to come and get it yourself, or send it directly through a delivery array.

  Yang Tong also got to know many new friends, from various grades, and heard a lot of things that freshmen didn't understand.

  The school was not fully enclosed, and there were many transmission arrays in the school that could lead to some outdoor monk booths. Most of the time, students above the fifth grade who majored in martial arts would not stay in school, but instead choose to go out and explore, searching for resources in the wild.

  "Master, there is a guest visiting outside the door." 3170's voice rang out.

  Yang Tong listened and replied with a sentence: "Open the door." He then walked towards the gate.

  "Yang Tong, junior brother, we're here." A loud and bold voice came from the gap in the door, and immediately the gate was opened. Two sturdy men, each about 1.9 meters tall, walked in from outside.

  "Zhao and Chen, please come in." Yang Tong said with a smile.

  "Excuse me, junior brother. Chen didn't invite himself over, and I hope you can forgive him." Chen Bingkun replied politely.

  Zhao Zhengfeng, however, was a straightforward person. He walked into the house without sitting down and asked, "Yang Tong, you're our school's youngest genius spiritual tool master in your generation, right? Come on, take us to see your work."

  "Alright, the two seniors come with me." Yang Tong did not refuse. This Zhao senior was no ordinary person, rumored to be a young master from a prestigious family, with real power and extensive connections. What Yang Tong lacked right now was connections, so over the past year, he had been deliberately getting to know some upperclassmen, most of whom were martial artists who came to buy spiritual equipment. However, Yang Tong also had dealings with some divine intent practitioners, and they had exchanged messages online a few times.

  Inside the warehouse, there is a holographic simulation of a store counter. On the counter are placed dozens of different styles of weapons. Because Yang Tong had not yet begun to comprehend "The Essentials of Elementary Array Methods", he was not very skilled at crafting defensive equipment, but instead, due to his progress in understanding the laws, he was more skilled at crafting weapons.

  Apart from the weapons placed on the counter, there were also several large boxes in the corner of the room, with their lids wide open, and inside them were piled up many kinds of weapons.

  Although Zhao Zhengfeng and Chen Bingkun had also seen the various weapons on the counter through holographic simulation online, they had never actually touched the real thing.

  "May we take a look?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked politely.

  "Of course." Yang Tong smiled and said, "You guys take your time to look around here, I'll go get the custom-made war knife for Zhao Xuechang from the artifact manufacturing room."

  Zhao and Chen were both fond of weapons, and the weapons on Yang Tong's shelves were over 90% close combat weapons. Moreover, they were all made of gold-grade materials, each one extraordinary.

  "Huh? What's this...?" Zhao Zhengfeng happened to notice the box in the corner, which contained many weapons. He took them out and examined them carefully, then thoroughly inspected the other boxes.

  At this moment, Yang Tong walked in with a war knife and said: "Zhao senior, come and try it out. This is the earth-attribute war knife you ordered, third-grade golden level, weighing 200 kilograms, no structural changes, can save 20% of spiritual power, comes with secret technique: Gravity Technique."

  Zhao Zhengfeng happily accepted it and said: "Go to the martial arts hall to try it out?"

  "Come!" Yang Tong brought the two to the villa's martial arts hall, Zhao Zhengfeng wielded his war knife and performed a set of incredibly powerful knife techniques. A brown aura revolved around the knife as it moved, and the final knife strike landed on the trial stone.

  Attack Power Level: Three Stars!

  Zhao Zhengfeng was only a 6th-level Earth cultivator, but he managed to unleash an attack that rivaled the strongest of the Earth peak. It's easy to imagine just how powerful this war knife is.

  Yang Tong had also practiced Xue Lei Dao Fa before, but in comparison, the beginner-level knife technique was worthless in front of the Earth-level attribute martial skill.

  "Good, good sword!" Chen Bingkun watched from the side and couldn't help but praise.

  "No, no, this is all thanks to Zhao's exceptional strength." Yang Tong said humbly.

  "Hmm, thank you Yang Tong for forging this war sword for me. I really like it. It's been 15 years since I entered the school, and finally I have a weapon that meets my expectations." Zhao Zhengfeng sighed.

  "Zhao Xuechang's words are too kind to me, really. With Zhao Xuechang's family background, would he still lack weapons?" Yang Tong asked inexplicably.

  "My junior brother doesn't know, earth-attribute weapons are mostly blunt instruments that rely on weight to win, practical and cheap. I don't like them, but the Zhao family does have an earth-attribute sharp instrument, with a high grade of four, it's a bit luxurious to use something of the Earth Grade." Zhao Zhengfeng said gloomily.

  "Huh? Then why didn't you find other seniors in school all these years to make one?" Yang Tong asked in puzzlement.

  "My junior brother doesn't know, in school, there are not a few people studying spiritual tool manufacturing, but those who really get the qualification certificate are not many. Those seniors are mostly eccentric or have high requirements, Zhao Mou really can't afford it." Zhao Zhengfeng sighed.

  "My junior brother, when you first entered the school, you didn't understand the difficulties of us Wu Ling Masters. Every year, the school allocates study points that are only one-fifth of what the Shen Nian Masters receive. For us, even if we exchange ten billion spiritual coins' worth of study points every year, it's not enough for our own cultivation, let alone buying equipment. You Shen Nian Masters don't have to worry about food and clothing in school, you can focus on studying and cultivating with peace of mind. Someone like you, who has obtained a master-level qualification certificate, is extremely wealthy and doesn't need to worry about lacking study points. But for most of us, if we want to achieve something, we have to venture into the wilderness and hunt beasts to find our own opportunities." Chen Bingkun said.

  "Yes, you know that in the wilderness, although resources are abundant and almost inexhaustible, there are dangers everywhere. Not only do we have to face various natural disasters, but also respond to various human-made calamities. In our school alone, there are many masters who form hunting teams, killing people and stealing treasures all over the place. If you die in the wilderness, it's just a waste of death." Zhao Zhengfeng sighed.
