Half an hour later, Wei Changtian was beaming, holding two secret manuals, and the more he looked, the more he liked.
Although the system didn’t have a recycling function, which meant these techniques couldn’t be “cashed in,” he had discovered a wonderful use for the system.
That was, it could be used as a rating tool for techniques!
You should know that in this world, aside from the most basic internal skills being divided into four levels of “Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow,” other skills like martial arts, swordsmanship, and body techniques don’t have clear rankings.
After all, the power of martial arts largely depends on the user’s strength, making it difficult to compare which is superior.
It’s like two people fighting with different weapons – in the end, does the win or loss depend on the person or the weapon?
No one can say for sure.
Therefore, martial artists usually follow family traditions or word of mouth when choosing skills to ensure stability.
But if they encounter a rare skill, they can only rely on luck.
Of course, this is the case for others.
Wei Changtian is different, because the system has clear rankings for these skills!
You don’t know, but the system does!
Just go for the highest-ranked ones, and that’s it!
For example, the two skills he’s holding now are the only two “Heaven-level” skills among the over 100 skills!
One is called “Tian Luo Fist,” which was given to the Wei family as a dowry when Qin Cai Zhen, the Saintess of the Tian Luo Sect, married into the family. The moves are extremely fierce, with each punch having a “fixed-point explosive” effect.
The other is called “Gui Chen Knife,” which is said to be able to cut through flowing water with a single slash, even without using any internal energy.
What does this mean?
It means that if I slash once, the water will be cut off within ten breaths!
Good grief, no wonder it’s Heaven-level; even Newton’s coffin lid would be pressed down by it.
Wei Changtian happily put the two secret manuals away, having “free-ridden” 1,000 system points. He walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor of the stone tower.
The second floor was smaller than the first, with various weapons on display.
There were swords, spears, staffs, axes, hooks, and forks – all sorts of weapons, many of which were obviously extraordinary at first glance.
Wei Changtian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the system, preparing to check the rankings of these weapons.
However, he didn’t get to “free-ride” this time.
Because he didn’t know the names of these weapons.
If he didn’t know the names, he couldn’t search, and he couldn’t possibly compare them one by one from the countless products in the system’s mall.
Sigh, it seemed like he had to rely on luck.
After a sigh, Wei Changtian wandered around the rows of wooden racks, glancing left and right, with his gaze mainly focused on the swords.
Swords are convenient to carry and have always been the most mainstream cold weapons throughout history.
Besides, he had just obtained a Heaven-level sword skill, so he definitely wanted to make the most of it.
Although swords can be used with sword skills, but… villains aren’t worthy of using swords.
After circling the entire second floor, Wei Changtian quickly took a liking to a few swords.
Anyway, he didn’t know the quality of these weapons, so he might as well choose based on their appearance.
The swords he had chosen weren’t bad, at least they looked very cool.
But which one should he choose?
The difficulty of choice had returned… Why not take them all? One sword per day?
Forget it, weapons aren’t the more, the merrier; what’s important is finding one that feels comfortable to use.
As he looked at the swords in front of him, which were enough to cause countless martial artists to fight over, Wei Changtian suddenly felt like a rich second-generation heir choosing a wife.
The “goddesses” that others would kill for were sitting in front of him, and he was still picking and choosing…
Ah, what a happy trouble.
After a moment of random thoughts, Wei Changtian still couldn’t make a decision.
In the end, he decided to adopt an ancient and effective decision-making method –
Drawing lots!
Whoever is destined to be with me, I’ll choose them!
“Selecting the best, selecting the… “
Mumbling to himself, his fingers moving back and forth over several knives, just as he was about to make his decision, Wei Changtian’s gaze was suddenly drawn to the two knives at the bottom of a wooden rack.
The two knives were placed side by side, one slightly longer, the other slightly shorter, both resembling Tang-style knives. Judging from their scabbards, they looked quite impressive.
They must have been forged by the same person using the same materials.
Hmm?
If I take one, and give the other to Xu Qingwan… perfect!
Wei Changtian immediately discarded the other knives, walked over, and carefully examined the two knives.
The handles seemed to be copper cores wrapped in wood, with several layers of cord wrapped around them.
The scabbards didn’t have anything special, but they both had two small characters engraved at the bottom.
The longer one was “Dragon’s Roar,” and the shorter one was “Sparrow’s Chirp.”
From noble mtl dot come
“How similar to sword names… “
Wei Changtian muttered to himself, then drew the knives out of their scabbards. In an instant, he understood the meaning behind the names.
The sound of the two knives being drawn was one long and resonant, like a flute, and the other was clear and crisp, like a whistle, indeed very much like “Dragon’s Roar” and “Sparrow’s Chirp”… although Wei Changtian had no idea what kind of sound a dragon’s roar was.
Not important! What mattered was that the knives were indeed excellent!
This time, Wei Changtian didn’t hesitate at all, making his decision on the spot.
It’s these two!
He put the other knives back, held the two precious knives, and couldn’t wait to see what was in the third layer of the Stone Tower.
Were there magical artifacts? Top-grade elixirs? Supreme divine abilities?
Or was it the Wei family’s treasured heirloom?
“Thud, thud, thud” he stepped up to the third floor, but what appeared before him was a thick, heavy iron door with tight locks.
“This… “
Wei Changtian stopped in his tracks, looked at the iron door a few times, then turned around and walked away, seemingly uninterested in what was behind the door.
Joking aside, having watched so many horror movies in his past life, he had long understood a crucial principle.
Curiosity kills the cat; never open a locked door for no reason!
……
After leaving the “Martial Pavilion,” Wei Changtian directly took a horse-drawn carriage to the Suspended Mirror Agency.
As soon as he appeared, he caused a stir.
The last time he had stabbed the toad-eyed monster at the Zhang Manor, it had already earned him admiration from many. Who knew that just a few days later, he would accomplish another heroic feat?
A 50-year-old demon, actually killed by Young Master Wei!
And he even rescued the “Agency Flower” of the Suspended Mirror Agency!
Martial artists generally weren’t cultured, and they didn’t care about romantic love stories between men and women. They loved this kind of heroic, chivalrous tale of a brave man saving a beauty.
Therefore, Wei Changtian was no longer seen as that evil, useless young master, but as a heroic, chivalrous young man with a sense of justice!
“Young Master Wei, tell us how you killed that demon!”
“Yeah, especially the part where you rescued Xu Zongqi!”
“Lord Wei, my little sister is only 15. Will you take her as your concubine?”
“Hahaha, you’re thinking too much! You don’t know that even Lu Jingyao, the national beauty of the Lu family, can only be a concubine to the young master?”
“Hmph! That’s nothing. My sister is not inferior to Lu Jingyao!”
“Uh?”
Surrounded by the crowd, Wei Changtian keenly caught this sentence and immediately approached the person with precision.
“Brother, you said your sister isn’t inferior to Lu Jingyao?”
“Ah!”
The person speaking was taken aback, then proudly puffed out his chest: “That’s not the case! I wouldn’t dare say it about other things, but when it comes to eating, she’s absolutely unmatched in the entire capital city!”
“Lord Wei, what’s on your mind… Lord Wei, where are you?”
