Chương 212: War God’s — Chapter 213 - The Old Sister Is Playing Mind Games

Snow Lotus Shell is a special material that only appeared recently. When embedded in martial equipment, it helps warriors effectively resist spiritual pressure. Excellent material. Especially for unknown relics. You never know what powerful beasts lurk inside. If you encounter one far beyond your realm, a single burst of Domain Pressure will leave you with zero resistance. You might drop dead on the spot. Protective gear forged from this material won't leave you so easily paralyzed. Gives you enough time to run.

Good materials are naturally hard to repair. Even Dean Yun himself wouldn't dare guarantee a one-shot fix. But now...

"A few days ago I heard Master Luo took on a Smelting prodigy..." Yun Shan stared at Wang Xian.

"I wasn't there that day, so I was skeptical at first. What a shame. When you visited our research institute before, you loved asking about everything."

"And I never realized you had such talent in Smelting, young Wang." He looked at the perfectly intact Snow Lotus Shell. The fractured energy circuits inside had reconnected. He couldn't quite grasp how it had been repaired so easily in one attempt. Rare materials are mostly irreversible. Once damaged, they're almost impossible to repair. You can only use them as-is, but that causes them to lose many of their properties. Facing Dean Yun Shan, Wang Xian stayed modest:"I just modified the energy circuits a bit."

"Snow Lotus Shell inherently contains life energy. In other words, it's a material with half a life."

"Once the energy circuits are unblocked, its internal flow becomes smooth, and the life energy continuously overflows to repair it." Wang Xian knew this material well. In his previous life, he'd used plenty of martial equipment forged from Snow Lotus Shell.

"To look once and immediately know how to modify it..." Yun Shan shook his head.

"That kind of talent has nothing to do with understanding the material's properties." He turned to Bai Xingyun and the others.

"As for young Wang's strength, two days ago I heard several leaders who attended the grand banquet discussing it... They only mentioned it briefly, but they said Wang Xian defeated several Fourth Realm early-stage disciples at the Third Realm."

"I'm not a warrior, of course. I know life-and-death battles in relics and arena sparring are completely different. Compared to you warriors nearing the Fifth Realm, he still falls far behind." This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"But it at least proves he has real strength."

"Also..." Yun Shan smiled.

"With a Smelting Master on your team, your relic expedition will be much smoother. Trust me. At minimum, he can tell you what's treasure and what's trash."

"Dean Yun, what are you saying!" Bai Xingyun walked over to Wang Xian with an eager expression.

"I know our junior's strength. It's not that we disagree. Having a Smelting Master on the team is something other squads would beg for."

"It's just that our junior is Master Luo's treasure."

"Without Master Luo's approval, we can't agree." With that, Bai Xingyun patted Wang Xian's shoulder:"Tell Master Luo this: even if your seniors get wounded or crippled, we absolutely won't let a single hair on your head be harmed!"

"..." The others. You change your tune fast!

"..." Wang Xian. No need for that. Really. Among the crowd, only Yan Zhaoxue blinked at Wang Xian.

"I'll go back and prepare. We set off the day after tomorrow?" Wang Xian waved to the group.

"No problem! President Yan will pick you up herself!" Bai Xingyun nodded. He figured since the two had gone through the Thousand Dragon Bone Tomb relic at Panlong Mountain together, their relationship was closer. After making arrangements, Wang Xian left the research institute. Time to prepare. This relic was no ordinary one, after all. First order of business: inform Master Luo and Ye Miyue. Master Luo represented the school. Extended absence without this nominal teacher's consent wouldn't fly with the school.

Ye Miyue represented the personal side.

"The Phantom City relic?"

"Why would you want to go there? I've been hearing about it these past few days. That relic is very troublesome. Extremely dangerous."

"Instead of studying properly at school, why run off to a newly-appeared B-rank relic?" Master Luo clearly didn't approve of Wang Xian's plan.

"Even if you want relic training, I can arrange suitable ones for you. C-rank at most!"

"No need to go to this relic."

"This relic has spatial materials I need. The school's materials are too high-level. I can't use them."

"Spatial materials? A-rank? I'll find them for you. You don't need to go." Master Luo said decisively.

"The East Sea Phantom City relic is far too dangerous. Even those Fourth Realm peak seniors in their final year would face great danger, let alone you."

"..."

"I also have a friend trapped inside. I plan to check on her."

"Male or female?"

"A little girl."

"A little girl?" Master Luo paused, then frowned.

"I'm at the Seventh Realm now, so it's not suitable for me to enter a B-rank relic... That does complicate things. You're determined to go?" Wang Xian hesitated:"I have to go." Master Luo stared at him, then sighed softly:"I keep feeling like you're rushing."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I know Old Martial Arts is difficult. You're worried the gap between you and Senior Ye will keep growing... because she's already reached the Third Realm too." Is that so? Wang Xian blinked. She hadn't reached the Third Realm during summer break. Must have broken through these past few days.

"But there's no need to rush like this." Master Luo said.

"Xiao Yue won't think differently of you because of any gap. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"..."

"That said, for the second half of the year, I do plan to take Xiao Yue elsewhere to temper her sword path."

"If you're willing, you can come with us." Master Luo thought for a moment.

"We wouldn't need to go to this relic. It's just that in martial arts, since you don't practice the sword, it's hard for me to guide you." Wang Xian shook his head:"No." Master Luo thought for a long while before finally sighing:"That's fine too. I was also worried that if you two trained together, you'd have no heart for cultivation."

"A couple days ago, she came to me privately and pleaded with me to bring you along. It was hard to refuse. Since you truly want to go to this relic, you can tell her yourself." Hearing this, Wang Xian frowned slightly. Something felt off. He looked at Master Luo. Wait. The old sister is playing mind games. You were never against it! You're pretending to disagree so I'll be the one to refuse Ye Miyue's request to train together, aren't you?

"What are you looking at me for?" Master Luo said with authority.

"You made your own choice. Originally it was hard for me to refuse. I was planning to take you and Xiao Yue to train together. Since you now want a different relic, your teacher can't do anything about it." ➤ Next: It Was All for Their Own Good
