Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 434 - 284: Farewell, Champion Marquis (2)

"Is this the Willful Weapon forged?"

Immediately, an old man’s coughing voice came from within the Martial Arts Token, saying:

"As per your request, this weapon is crafted from Jiuli Armor Leaf, Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence, Earth Core Black Gold, and Ruyi Stone, mixed with tens of thousands of jin of Mixed Steel, weighing one hundred and eight thousand jin. Since I used Civil Fire and Martial Fire, with the Divine Hammer Refining Method, I first forged the Ruyi Stone with divine attributes, losing its inherent shape. What you see now is a lump of iron mud, but as long as you infuse True Qi into it, you can freely shape it."

It was Master Zhuge Wu, the Divine Weapon Casting Master.

"So miraculous?"

Chen Ku was overjoyed upon hearing it, and immediately started experimenting. He infused his Five Elements True Qi into it and saw that the iron mud weighing over ten thousand jin suddenly seemed to come alive like a five-colored Divine Dragon.

Immediately, his mind felt a special pattern within the iron mud.

"This is? Prohibition?"

He immediately recognized that this thing was somewhat similar to the Prohibition inside the Fire Beak Pot, yet different.

As his thoughts touched this Prohibition, he immediately felt that the iron stone in his hand could be molded like clay with True Qi into any weapon shape.

"Transform!"

A gentle word.

Instantly, the iron stone in his hand elongated, transforming into a long staff entwined with a double-headed black dragon, ancient and unadorned, yet upon close inspection, it had patterns of five-colored True Qi like flashes of lightning.

"Transform again!"

As Chen Ku’s mind moved, the long staff transformed into a Mo Blade and then... into a Big Hammer, a Large Axe, a Hook, a Fork, a Halberd, a Mace, and even into a Five-Colored Divine Sword...

Most importantly, Chen Ku felt this staff could also lengthen.

"Lengthen!"

The Willful Weapon transformed into a staff and, following Chen Ku’s intention, extended towards a small broken temple ahead.

Swoosh!

The long staff stretched out fifty meters like a phoenix weaving through flowers.

Boom!

With a single strike, it pierced through the small temple.

Then, as Chen Ku’s mind touched the Prohibition, it seemed it could also grow thicker.

"Enlarge!"

Boom!

Instantly, the fifty-meter-long staff swelled in mid-air, from the thickness of an arm to the size of a beam, crashing to the ground with a loud noise.

The force of over ten thousand jin shook the earth, causing dust and debris to fly!

"What a great weapon!!"

Chen Ku was full of excitement.

Although he could previously extend the staff several dozen meters using the Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword, it was formed with True Qi. Now, the weapon itself could reach such lengths, especially if combined with Martial Arts blessings...

"Go!"

With a thought, the weapon returned to its original size. He grasped it, flew a hundred meters into the air, swung the staff, and the peak of a small mountain below him, like a hot knife through butter, lost a whole zhang of its top!

Rumble~~

Watching as the hilltop, the size of a great hall, tumbled from the cliff, Chen Ku tapped the weapon.

"Hiss!"

The hardness made his fingertip ache slightly.

Chen Ku was both surprised and delighted.

To think, with his body’s unmatched strength, already enhanced with various defenses, he would feel pain tapping this weapon.

The hardness was evident, and he couldn’t help but be overjoyed:

"Truly a Divine Weapon!"

Master Zhuge’s voice slowly came through, saying: "In the process of creating your weapon, no other special metals were added, therefore, it only has the ability to change size, thickness, and shape like the Ruyi Stone, as well as the hardness of a Divine Weapon level."

"It’s enough, it’s enough!"

Chen Ku knew that what he forged was merely a Martial Arts Divine Weapon, not daring to hope it had the heaven-defying, endless transformations of a Ruyi Jingu Bang; thus, it was already more than enough.

He then looked at the set of Divine Weapon Clothing and the pair of Divine Weapon Boots.

He praised Master Zhuge:

"Master, how efficient you are to forge three Divine Weapons in just ten days?"

"It isn’t as exaggerated as you think."

Master Zhuge laughed and said:

"I mainly concentrated on forging this ’Willful Weapon’ for you, as the Feather clothes were repaired by someone else, and the Chasing Wind Six Harmonies Boots are standard weapons. There were a few pairs in stock at the Martial Temple, and after paying Martial Destiny and completing some formalities, they could be yours directly."

Chen Ku realized, understanding.

He immediately thanked the Divine Weapon Casting Master once again.

"It’s a duty of mine, for payment, no need for thanks, hehe. If you have needs, come to this old man next time."

Master Zhuge’s voice faded from the Token.

...

In the Martial Temple.

Everyone heard that Chen Ku, over the past few days, had been continuously exchanging the rewards he got from clearing stages with other trialists, selling them at a ten percent discount for Martial Destiny.

"He exchanged a lot of those rewards for Martial Destiny, forging three Divine Weapon level weapons in one go. Armed like this, it complements his strength tremendously. Who knows how many more stages he can breakthrough next?"

And at that moment.

Someone saw Chen Ku’s new exchange request.

Couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Sky Gang Thunder? He’s actually going to exchange for the Sky Gang Thunder, which costs eighteen thousand Martial Destiny per piece?!"

As soon as these words fell.

"Eighteen thousand Martial Destiny?"

"How does he still have eighteen Martial Destiny?"

"Wait, this Sky Gang Thunder is a single-use lightning bolt, crafted by Divine Weapon Casting Masters using special materials to collect Heavenly Thunder. One piece is enough to break a Seventh Realm master’s Gang Qi, and if they aren’t careful, it can instantly kill a Seventh Realm master. But because it’s a single-use item, costing eighteen thousand, it’s too expensive, and no one has bought it in decades. What’s he planning?"

...

After spending nineteen thousand to forge the Willful Weapon, in the following ten days, Chen Ku earned another fifty-four thousand Martial Destiny, spending ten thousand to repair the clothing and eighteen thousand for the Divine Weapon level Chasing Wind Six Harmonies Boots. He still had twenty-six thousand left.

At this time, he unhesitatingly exchanged for this Sky Gang Thunder.

Only because it could blast away the protective Gang Qi of a Seventh Realm master.

So why did Chen Ku buy it?

He held the Sky Gang Thunder and murmured to himself:

"Time to challenge that legend of the dynasty."

In the next moment, everyone in the Martial Temple saw Chen Ku’s position vanish, entering a special secret realm.

...

Drinking Horse River Secret Realm.

Chen Ku appeared out of nowhere, put away his ’Champion Token,’ and looked towards the figure a hundred zhang away by the river.

That figure, half-crouching, feeding and washing a horse.

The young Champion Marquis.

Seemingly aware.

The Champion Marquis slowly stood up, flicked the water from his hands, and casually wiped them on his clothes.

With a lift of his gaze.

Reflected a hundred zhang away was the young man holding an iron staff, wearing Divine Weapon Boots, clad in Feather clothes, with Yuan Tuo Armor underneath, stepping on the water and walking towards him step by step.

"Young friend, you’ve come again."

Chen Ku stopped ten zhang from the Champion Marquis.

Planted the staff in the river, stood straight, and looked the young man in the eyes.

With cupped fists:

"Chen is untalented, coming again to seek guidance!"
