C37 – A Noble and Terrifying Identity
Could he have been mistaken?
Surely not?
Wang Sibo scrutinized the Blood Stripe Sword with a puzzled frown. It was unmistakably a Profound Rank weapon, no longer of the Yellow Rank. Where had he gone wrong?
As Wang Sibo inspected it closely, his expression shifted to one of increasing astonishment.
The vitality and spirit light emanating from the Blood Stripe Sword were extraordinarily rich. It wasn’t just a low-grade Profound Rank weapon, but a top-grade one? The leap from a low-grade Yellow Rank to a low-grade Profound Rank was already the utmost limit of Wang Sibo’s prior conjectures. This new revelation nearly made him exclaim in shock once more.
How many precious minerals had Zhou Jibo expended, and which masterful Forgemaster had he commissioned to accomplish such a feat? The cost was astronomical, far exceeding tenfold what Wang Sibo had previously anticipated!
This was truly a masterpiece! Never in his life had Wang Sibo crafted a top-grade Profound Rank weapon. Yet today, he beheld the very weapon he had forged at the milestone of becoming a Technomancer, now surpassing his own barriers to reach the upper echelons of the Profound Rank.
Wang Sibo’s inner turmoil of excitement was indescribable. This was not merely a case of enhancing the Blood Stripe Sword; it was a transformation. It swept away any lingering regrets in his heart, replacing them with a newfound hope and aspiration.
“I must keep pace with the Blood Stripe Sword’s evolution. I must learn to forge top-grade Profound Rank artifacts,” Wang Sibo resolved.
Then, his gaze locked onto a particular blood stripe. He questioned whether his eyes deceived him, as he thought he detected faint traces of runes and formations within it.
Wang Sibo’s hands shook, and his knees felt weak.Read new chapters at novelhall.com
Could this be the subtle hallmark of an Earth Rank weapon?
It seemed impossible, didn’t it? If it were true, who exactly was Zhou Jibo? Wang Sibo couldn’t bear to let his imagination run any further.
What sort of formidable force could lavish such vast resources on a low-grade Yellow Rank weapon, employing an immensely skilled Technomancer to do so?
And to think that Wang Sibo could recognize it as the Blood Stripe Sword he himself had once crafted!
Wang Xuelan’s smile was so wide her eyes crinkled. “Deal!” she exclaimed.
At Zhou Jibo’s smile, Wang Sibo finally relaxed.
Turning to business, Zhou Jibo inquired, “Is there really an iron mine in Osobron Mountain? What’s the situation there?”
Yan Yuanlu, having also surmised Zhou Jibo’s identity as no ordinary one, reported with due respect, “Young Master Zhou, the iron ore information was acquired by a branch of the Myriad Treasure Auction House during a purchase. They’ve verified its authenticity and are now assessing the site.”
“It’s fortunate,” Zhou Jibo mused, “that Master Wang and I were nearby when the news arrived. The task fell to me, and I’ve asked Master Wang to accompany me to the mine. We’ll oversee the mining for a month to determine the true quality of the ore.”
Wang Sibo nodded his confirmation, adding, “Indeed, that’s the case.”
“I see,” Zhou Jibo acknowledged with a slight nod, then turned to Jiao Lexin with a probing gaze. “And what brings you here? How do you come to be in the company of the Myriad Treasure Auction House staff?”
Jiao Lexin, despite his earlier realization of Zhou Jibo’s significant status, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of resentment upon confronting his youthful arrogance.
No matter how different his status may be, at the end of the day, he’s just an immature young kid. Why should I feel intimidated? Do I really need to treat him with such deference?
With that thought in mind, Jiao Lexin spoke up, “The Jiao family has a long-standing reputation as Forgemasters, and our collaboration with the Myriad Treasure Auction House spans many years. It’s only natural for me to come and see what’s happening. Besides, I’m fond of Xuelan, and that affection compelled me to follow. That’s perfectly normal too.”
His tone lacked any semblance of courtesy, bordering on nosiness.
Yan Yuanlu’s brow furrowed, yet he held back from voicing his stance.
Wang Sibo, on the other hand, addressed the issue head-on, “Jiao Lexin, your disrespect towards Young Master Zhou is unacceptable. There’s no need for you to remain here. Please leave and return to the Jiao family.”
