The spear in front of Li Chengfeng was 2.3 metres long with a forty centimetre tip. The entire spearhead looked like a short sword, the two edges widening towards the body of the spear. The bottom part of the spearhead was twelve centimetres wide, but the part connected to the body of the spear shrunk to only five centimetres. The bottom part of the spear widened into a formation in the shape of an axe. A spirit crystal the size of a goose's egg was embedded in the middle of the part that blocked the blood. The spirit crystal glowed with a brilliant blue light.
At a closer look, it looked like a nebula was hidden within. Air currents flowed slowly, enveloping thousands of stars, glowing brightly. Even during the day, the glow could not be concealed.
The array formation section was the most important part of the entire magic tool. Not only were the spirit crystals embedded there, but the array formation patterns were also engraved there. This was because it was the flattest part of the spear and had the largest surface area. It was most suitable for engraving the array formation.
From a distance, Li Chengfeng could not clearly see the patterns on the array. However, at a glance, he could see that the array was densely covered in gold patterns. As the spear turned and changed directions, the light shone on it and the gold seemed to 'come alive', turning into golden water that flowed around the array on the body of the spear.
The spear under the Array Department was about 1.8 meters long and completely black. At first glance, it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. However, it was different from the flowing light of the Array Department in that it seemed to be able to absorb light. All the light that came close to it would be absorbed. The body of the spear, which was as thick as a wrist, was dark and deep.
Li Chengfeng's eyes only took one look before he could not tear his eyes away. This spear was like a magnet that attracted all of his attention.
But Grand Senior Sister was telling him that he could not give it to him now?
Li Chengfeng panicked. "Grand Senior Sister, are you going back on your word?"
Grand Senior Sister glanced at him, then gently caressed the tip of the spear with her fingertips, from the array section to the spear's body, as if she was caressing the world's most precious treasure. "Do you know how much manpower and resources I spent to make this magical weapon?"
Li Chengfeng immediately said, "But I paid for the spirit crystal!
This is a rare spirit crystal!
I paid for the bone spear too! "
Grand Senior Sister laughed heartily. "Your spirit crystal is indeed rare, and your bone spear is also made of good material.
But you have to know that these things can always be obtained with money and time.
But in order to forge this magic treasure, I spent enough money and resources to buy three Spirit Crystals or three hundred Bone Spurs like yours! "
Li Chengfeng was tongue-tied. It was not that he did not believe her. Although he had not interacted much with her, he knew that she was an extremely arrogant person. She would never lie in a place like this.
But Li Chengfeng was well versed in the art of deception, he was not going to 'surrender' just like that. "Grand Senior Sister is willing to spend so much just to make this magical weapon, that means you have high expectations of me. What you want me to do is very difficult!
Isn't that right? "
Grand Senior Sister replied calmly, "Yes!"
A sly glint flashed in his eyes. "That's why you should hand this magical weapon over to me. Or else, who's going to make it for you?"
Grand Senior Sister glanced at him from the corner of her eye, the same sly glint in her eyes. "That's why I also want to know if you're worthy of this Setting Sun Spear!
You must get first place in the individual assessment!
If you can't, it means you're not worthy of this spear! You can't meet my requirements!
I'd rather look for someone else! "
Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded. F * ck!
You've tricked me!
It was rare for Grand Senior Sister to gain an advantage over Li Chengfeng, and it was a huge advantage too. Delighted, she flicked her wrist and spun the spear around, pointing it at the ground. "When you get first place in the individual assessment, the Setting Sun Spear will naturally be yours!
Not only that, I will also explain the uses of this spear in detail and teach you how to use it. "
Li Chengfeng was furious. "First place?
Just tell me if you want to trick me!
I've only been in the sect for a month and you want me to get first place? "
Grand Senior Sister smirked. "The individual assessment is split into two groups, one for disciples below the golden body level, the other for disciples above the golden body level. That's why there can be two first places in the individual assessment.
Don't you have the confidence to get first place in the group below the golden body level?
If that's the case, this Setting Sun Spear is like throwing a bright pearl into the dark! "
Li Chengfeng calmed down. He was afraid that Grand Senior Sister would go crazy and let him get first place in the golden body group. Then he would be in trouble.
With Li Chengfeng's current strength, even if he got the Setting Sun Spear, he would only be a transport leader in the golden body group, sending experience and equipment to others.
This was because he knew his own situation. Currently, Li Chengfeng's biggest problem was that his attack power was insufficient. If they were all cultivators below the Golden Body Realm, he still had a way to deal with them. He could rely on strategies and even intelligence to win.
However, against a golden body cultivator, when the difference in strength was too great, any strategy or intelligence would be crushed!
The golden body was an absolute defence. As long as Li Chengfeng could not break this absolute defence, he would not be able to defeat a golden body cultivator.
As for cultivators below the golden body level …
Li Chengfeng's only fear was Huangfu Song's Sacred Heavenly Fire Sword. However, Li Chengfeng had already destroyed the sword, so it seemed like he was confident he could get first place!
Li Chengfeng immediately said, "Then it's a promise!"
Grand Senior Sister said, "A promise is a promise!"
They high-fived and Li Chengfeng nodded. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. When Grand Senior Sister's figure flashed, he turned around and yelled, "Hey, why is it called the Setting Sun Spear?
This spear will be mine in the future, I should be the one to name it! "
Grand Senior Sister's figure disappeared in a flash but her voice rang clearly from afar. "I made it myself, of course I should name it!
This spear's power can set the sun, hence the name Setting Sun Spear! "
Li Chengfeng stood rooted to the ground, his blood boiling and his heart itching. He was like a glutton who had just seen the Manchu Han Imperial Feast but was pinned to the side of the table with his mouth gagged. He could see but not eat!
To Li Chengfeng, this was too much! It was too painful!
"This Grand Senior Sister is up to no good!
How could she let Young Master get first place in the assessment?! "Xiaobao, who had heard everything from inside the house, could not help but grumble.
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "Grand Senior Sister wants me to get first place in the assessment for a very deep reason!
Firstly, they want to see if I'm qualified enough to get this spear that can 'set the sun'. Secondly, they want to motivate me to get first place, because once I get first place in the individual assessment, the other courts, especially the Hidden Brocade Court, will definitely treat me with hostility! "
Xiaobao fell into deep thought. Li Chengfeng continued, "To Shanxue, Hidden Sword Court's upcoming heavenly court assessment is a team battle. It doesn't matter if I'm a golden body or not. That's why Shanxue will definitely kill me!"
Xiaobao suddenly understood!
The individual assessment was just a prelude. The true battle would be during the heavenly court battle!
Whether Hidden Sword Court lived or died would depend on the heavenly court battle!
Only in desperate times and dangerous situations can one show the true colors of a hero!
Hence, if Li Chengfeng got first place in the individual assessment, it would mean that Li Chengfeng and the rest would not be able to escape during the heavenly court battle. They would definitely be hunted down by Hidden Brocade Court!
However, Li Chengfeng knew he had no way out. He had to get first place!
