122: Chapter 122 Fourth-Order Spiritual Martial Artifact, Phoenix Feather!

In an instant, Su Lin regained his senses; he and Gu Xinyue had appeared in another part of the campus.

Just as Su Lin was exclaiming in wonder, Gu Xinyue looked at him and asked directly,

"Are you very short on credits lately?"

Su Lin nodded.

"Did you spend all of those two thousand credits from before already?"

"You sure spend them fast."

"But it's okay, I've already found a super good secret realm mission for you. You can earn thousands of credits in one go!"

Gu Xinyue said to Su Lin excitedly.

"Really!?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lin's eyes lit up. If he could obtain another few thousand credits, it would truly solve his urgent need, and he wouldn't have to worry about credits for a while.

"Would your big sister lie to you? The quota for this mission is tight; it's only because of me that I could get you a spot."

"This secret realm is something special! Let me tell you about it."

Gu Xinyue immediately introduced the secret realm to Su Lin. Su Lin listened attentively; this secret realm was a case of seniors leading freshmen.

The main force relied on those seniors, while the freshmen were just brought along to provide support. However, even as support, the credits earned were several times higher than in other secret realms.

This was because this secret realm was extremely dangerous; the ferocious beasts inside were corrupted and completely demonized, making them several times more brutal than those in other secret realms.

Even seniors might not be able to return safely, which was why the credit rewards were so high.

"How is it? This secret realm is pretty good, right? Some people who knew the news have already been fighting tooth and nail to get a spot for this secret realm!"

"And I managed to get you a spot just like that. You can just head over there tomorrow."

Gu Xinyue said quite proudly.

"Thank you, Senior. Once this mission is finished, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."

Su Lin thanked her.

Gu Xinyue continued,

"Don't be so polite. I have to go off-campus for a mission tomorrow too; it's rare for me to be back this time."

"You focus on earning credits and get stronger quickly. Then I can take you out on missions with me."

"Besides, I heard my dad has also arranged a mission for you. If you don't get stronger, how will you be able to fulfill his wishes?"

Although Gu Xinyue didn't know what kind of goal Gu Jianhao wanted Su Lin to achieve, she could still see that her father held Su Lin in high regard.

Therefore, Gu Xinyue also hoped that Su Lin could become strong quickly. After all, she didn't have many people she could get close to in the academy, and if Su Lin could become strong, it would also be very beneficial for her.

"I will definitely not let you and the Sword Venerable down."

Su Lin said, cupping his hands.

Gu Xinyue nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Su Lin and said,

"By the way, you don't have a sword on you right now?"

Su Lin nodded and said,

"I borrowed one before, but I've already returned it."

He had already returned Cold Moon to Principal Li Youran.

"But with the Sword Embryo, I don't really need other swords."

Gu Xinyue shook her head and said,

"The Sword Embryo is the Sword Embryo; it's completely different from a sword held in your hand."

"Can your Sword Embryo really use those sword techniques of yours from before?"

This question from Gu Xinyue stumped Su Lin.

He had indeed never used his previous sword techniques through the Sword Embryo.

Could it be that he couldn't?

Su Lin was a bit confused and curious. Gu Xinyue continued,

"Regardless of whether your Sword Embryo can perform your previous sword techniques, having a real sword is very important. What if your Sword Embryo has a problem and you don't have a sword? Wouldn't you be done for?"

Gu Xinyue waved her right hand. Golden light appeared on her hand, and a slender longsword appeared in her grasp.

Gu Xinyue threw the longsword to Su Lin. Su Lin caught it quickly and looked at the exquisitely extraordinary longsword in his hands.

It had a crimson hilt and a dark red scabbard. Su Lin lifted the hilt gently, and the stunning blade slowly revealed itself to his eyes.

The long, slender blade was flawless, and upon it was a lifelike, pale golden phoenix, as if it were about to fly out at any moment.

"This sword is one I used before; you can use it for now."

"A fourth-tier Spirit Weapon, phoenix feather! That should be enough for you to use!"

"You wouldn't be able to handle anything higher-tier anyway."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin looked at Gu Xinyue in astonishment. Gu Xinyue had just casually given him a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon.

Su Lin's Rainstorm Bow was a third-tier Spirit Weapon, and its power was already quite astonishing. This longsword was actually a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon!

Looking at this fourth-tier Spirit Weapon in his hands, he couldn't even imagine how high its value was.

He wondered what kind of abilities this fourth-tier Spirit Weapon would have.

Su Lin stared at the longsword in his hands, lost in thought.

Gu Xinyue watched the excitement in Su Lin's eyes and covered her mouth as she chuckled.

"Hahaha, are you very happy? If you perform well in the future, I might just give you this sword."

"What!? Really?"

"Depends on your performance!"

Su Lin thanked Gu Xinyue again.

"Thank you, Senior, I will definitely work hard."

As their conversation was nearing its end, Gu Xinyue suddenly said,

"By the way, have you gone to see the school's Martial Arts Center? There are quite a few good things there, although they are a bit expensive."

Su Lin shook his head. He had just arrived at the school and hadn't been to many places yet. Now that he heard Gu Xinyue mention the Martial Arts Center, he became interested.

"I almost forgot, you don't have many credits now. Do you want me to lend you some?"

"After all, that secret realm tomorrow is very dangerous. It's only right to get some extra insurance measures."

Su Lin quickly waved his hand.

"No need, Senior. You've already given me enough."

Su Lin really felt embarrassed to borrow credits from Gu Xinyue again. The fact that she was willing to lend him a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon had already exceeded his expectations.

As a man who stood tall and upright, how could he ask a woman for everything?

"Alright, alright, you're quite concerned about your pride."

"That's it for now then; I have things to do. If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime."

After the two of them said a simple goodbye, Gu Xinyue turned around and disappeared in front of Su Lin once more.

Su Lin gripped the longsword in his hand, looked at the extraordinary blade, and let out a breath.

"I must get stronger quickly."

Su Lin urgently wanted to become as strong as Gu Xinyue.

It was still early, so Su Lin planned to go check out the Martial Arts Center that Gu Xinyue had mentioned.

He immediately opened the map on his phone and started searching for it.

...

Shenglong University, Martial Arts Center. After walking for half an hour, Su Lin arrived at the location.

Although it was called the Martial Arts Center, it was actually the Shenglong University Library.

It was a magnificent building, with many students entering and leaving. Su Lin walked straight inside.

After showing his relevant identification at the entrance, Su Lin successfully entered. The place had a total of six floors.

The first floor alone left Su Lin greatly shocked. He saw rows of bookshelves filled with various books and scrolls.

Names appeared on a light screen in front of the bookshelves.

A-Grade Martial Art, Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

A-Grade Martial Art, Blizzard Mad Blade.

...

The entire first floor was actually filled with A-Grade Martial Arts!

Su Lin couldn't help but gasp. He knew that back in Jianghuo City, he wouldn't have been able to find a single A-Grade Martial Art in the entire city!
