Chapter 4, The Mysterious Person

These words caused the light in Lou Yun's eyes, which had just brightened, to dim instantly. Without even a spiritual weapon, how could he possess the right to be recommended by his family? Moreover, he was already over fifteen years old this year. Although there was still nearly a year left, in reality, there were only ten months remaining

Suddenly, Lou Yun raised his head and looked at Lou Tianzhi, saying: "Second Uncle, was I really a genius when I was six years old?"

This statement was indeed too tempting for Lou Yun, and he hurriedly asked, "Without spiritual weapons, how can one become stronger?"

At this moment, Chang Xiang continued, "I ask you, in your opinion, is it only by condensing spiritual weapons that one can become a strong individual?"

Upon hearing the word "have," Lou Yun's heart was instantly reignited with hope, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any other way?"

Ah!

Luo Yun rushed to the back mountain in one breath, as if to vent his emotions, his feet never pausing as he climbed towards the steep summit. Upon reaching the peak, he stood high above, looking down at the land beneath him, opened his mouth, and let out a roar of anger

Luo Tianzhi said: "The dean of the Ancient Weapon Academy is a level Earth Spirit Weapon Master, and within the academy, as long as one performs outstandingly, they will qualify to undertake certain tasks. Once these tasks are completed, one can receive certain rewards. The more challenging the tasks completed, the more precious the rewards obtained. Of course, one can also choose not to accept the rewards offered and instead propose their desired rewards. I have heard that the Ancient Weapon Academy possesses elixirs capable of repairing spirit weapons."

Luo Yun quickly searched through his mind and confirmed that he had never seen this person before, and that the Lou family did not have anyone like him. Finally, he spoke up and asked, "Who are you?"

Chang Xiang's appearance gives the impression of a drawn sword, yet his character carries a hint of cunningness

After speaking, Lou Yun turned and strode out. As he watched Lou Yun's retreating figure, Lou Tianzhi seemed to catch a glimpse of a flash of nine-colored light emanating from his body, which vanished in an instant

Then, Lou Yun turned around again and bowed deeply to Lou Tianzhi, saying: "Second Uncle, I trouble you to take good care of my father."

Luo Yun was taken aback by the question and involuntarily nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes!"

Because when a member of the Lou family reaches the age of sixteen, a coming-of-age ceremony is held, which signifies that the member has become an adult and is now able to contribute to the family. Subsequently, arrangements will be made based on the individual's capabilities.

I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger, I want everyone to know that I, Lou Yun, am not useless! Father, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to repair your spiritual weapon! Then, I will take revenge for you!

Luo Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he leaped to his feet, his eyes sweeping sharply behind him. He discovered that, at a distance of about five or six meters away, there stood a person!

Why?

At this point, Lou Tianzhi fell silent, and Lou Yun no longer needed him to continue speaking, for he had already understood that if he could enter the Ancient Weapon Academy and perform outstandingly, after completing high-difficulty tasks, he could request the academy to reward him with elixirs capable of repairing spiritual weapons.

Luo Tianzhi was somewhat taken aback, unable to comprehend why Lou Yun would pose such a question to the book club at this moment. Nevertheless, he nodded and affirmed, "Yes, Yun'er, at the age of six, you cultivated your martial spirit to the tenth level without any guidance from anyone. No one in the history of the Martial Spirit Star has ever achieved this!"

Only after the people of the Spirit Weapon Star have condensed their spirit weapons and become Spirit Weapon Masters can they be considered to have officially embarked on the path of cultivation. There are two aspects to cultivation: one is the cultivation of spirit weapons, with the method referred to as techniques; the other is the cultivation of corresponding skills through the use of spirit weapons, known as weapon techniques, with the method referred to as weapon manuals

It is important to note that although this place is a cliff, it belongs to the Lou family. Beyond the cliff lies an endless abyss, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to arrive here without alerting the guards, except for members of the Lou family. However, the other party stands right before me, and there are no unusual occurrences in the Lou family below the mountain. This indicates that they have indeed arrived here without anyone noticing, which suggests that they must possess formidable cultivation skills. Yet, the other party stands right before me, and there are no unusual occurrences in the Lou family below the mountain.

This person appears to be no more than around thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a stern expression. His long black hair cascades down his back, and he stands there with his body straightened, giving the impression of a sword drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling aura from within.

Rubbing his eyes, Lou Tianzhi gently nodded, a smile appearing on his face. Lou Yun did not inquire about the reasons for his father's injury or his enemies, nor did he impulsively seek revenge. Instead, he was primarily concerned with finding a way to heal his father. From this, it was evident to him that his nephew had truly grown up.

Who says that one can only become stronger by condensing spiritual weapons

Yun'er, I believe that you will become a genius once again

Those with strength will remain within the clan, while those without strength will be classified as outsiders. The clan will not provide any cultivation techniques or military manuals to the outsiders. Unless one has extraordinary opportunities, there will be no significant changes in their lives, and they will have no further connection to cultivation.

Having received the response from his second uncle, Lou Yun turned his gaze towards his father, who was pale and had his eyes tightly closed. After a long while, he spoke with an unwavering tone: "Father, rest assured, I will not let you down. From today onwards, I will reclaim my title as a genius!"

Luo Tianzhi did not answer directly, but instead asked in return: "Yun'er, have you heard of the Ancient Weapon Academy?"

On the Star of Weapon Spirits, both the techniques and the weapon manuals are categorized into five levels and three tiers according to their respective power, ranked from high to low: Qian, Kun, Sun, Moon, and Star. Each level is further divided into three tiers: lower, middle, and upper.

Luo Yun was taken aback, for ever since he was unable to condense spiritual weapons, the only thing he could take pride in was his exceptional six senses. With his powerful spiritual perception, he could even detect the presence of intermediate spiritual weapon masters. Yet now, someone had quietly stood behind him without his knowledge, which was truly unexpected

Although a vow was made, after calming down, Lou Yun's face revealed a look of helplessness as he shook his head and said: "How can I become stronger? The only way to become stronger is to condense a spiritual weapon, and over the past nine years, I have tried no less than ten thousand times, yet I still cannot condense a spiritual weapon. To condense a spiritual weapon within ten months and gain the recognition of the family at https://m.hetushucomcom, this..."

Chang Xiang coldly uttered two words: "Common soldier!"

Firstly, the approval of the family is required, and the condition for family approval is that by the age of sixteen, the spiritual weapon must reach at least the initial level of two stars. Only then will the family make a recommendation, and the recommended individual must not exceed the age of eighteen, while also possessing certain capabilities to pass the assessment of the Ancient Weapon Academy. Only in this way can one gain entry. This year, I plan to recommend Lou Qian.

Chang Xiang spread his hand and said: "I have mentioned that my name is Chang Xiang, and I do have some connection with your family. However, at this moment, with your current abilities, you are not qualified to know my purpose for coming here. It is solely to help you become stronger"

The mockery of relatives, the encouragement of the second uncle, the remains of the father, all flashed through his mind one by one

Hmph! Chang Xiang let out a mocking cold laugh: "Do you believe that I can make you a powerful being without condensing spiritual weapons?"

With a sigh in his heart, Lou Tianzhi reached out and patted Lou Yun's shoulder, saying: "Yun'er, you shouldn't think too much about it; your second uncle will definitely find a way to repair your father's spiritual weapon."

Luo Yun was momentarily taken aback, but quickly nodded and said: "I have heard of it. Does the Ancient Weapon Academy have a way to repair my father's spiritual weapon"

However, the majority of what is commonly circulated outside is of the lowest star level. Families like the Lou family possess only the best techniques and weapon skills at the lunar lower tier. As for higher levels, they can only be found within large sects or spiritual weapon academies. Therefore, in order to obtain higher-level techniques and weapon manuals, many people will go to great lengths to join sects or enter academies

And there are only ten months left until the next changing ceremony

This is the family code, established by our ancestors, and no one has the right to alter it

The middle-aged man's face revealed an enigmatic smile as he said, "My name is Changxiang. As long as you listen to me, I can make you stronger"

Luo Yun's eyes suddenly brightened: "Second Uncle, how can one enter the Ancient Weapon Academy?"

Because I have a bit of a relationship with your family

After the roar lasted for a moment, Lou Yun sat down on the ground, biting his lip tightly, his body trembling slightly. Clearly, the excitement within him had not yet subsided.

After a moment of silence, Lou Yun did not lose his vigilance due to the other party's words: "I want to become stronger, but you must tell me who you are, what your relationship is with the Lou family, and what you are doing here"

At that moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Lou Yun's subsequent soliloquy.

The Ancient Military Academy is the largest spiritual weapon academy in the Ancient Feng Kingdom, boasting the most formidable strength. It is a place that many cultivators aspire to, housing a considerable collection of advanced techniques and weapon manuals

Luo Tianzhi observed the changes in Luo Yun's expression and could guess what he was thinking. To be honest, he felt quite helpless and puzzled about the events happening to his nephew. However, he never believed that Luo Yun would remain mediocre forever. Therefore, over the years, he had been subtly helping him, hoping to change his situation. Yet, it now seemed that there was truly little hope left.

This conversation sounds as if it were a game of Tai Chi, and even Lou Yun finds it somewhat difficult to comprehend. However, Lou Yun has also noticed that the man in front of him, named Chang Xiang, seems to have a personality that does not quite match his appearance.
