The fisherman's sky has fallen.
Lin Yuan picked up the darkkin demon sword,
and brought it before his eyes for a closer look.
Seeing the attributes of this sword, a thought bloomed in Lin Yuan's mind:
“This sword is not of the mortal realm; its sharpness can pierce the nine heavens.”
Its Strength and agility attributes were more than double Lin Yuan's current ones.
Equipping this sword instantly boosted Lin Yuan's combat power several times over.
It could also provide a massive buff if given to A Li.
Lin Yuan gripped the hilt with both hands,
and with a forceful twist,
the sword body erupted in golden light,
forming a halo behind Lin Yuan.
It was incredibly dazzling.
After the demon sword split into two halves,
one half glowed with golden light, exuding a sacred aura,
while the other half shimmered with red light, flames burning along its blade.
To make them easier to distinguish,
the golden one was called the light demon sword,
and the red one was called the fire demon sword.
They represented light attribute and fire attribute attacks, respectively.
Lin Yuan held the fire demon sword in his right hand,
and made a sword-finger gesture with his left.
The golden light demon sword flashed back and forth,
leaving trails of golden threads in the air.
Don't ask why; it just looked cool.
Lin Yuan raised his hand, and the light demon sword returned to it.
With a clang,
the demon sword merged back into one.
A crimson energy wave burst forth,
making the cape behind Lin Yuan flap wildly.
“Good! Good! Good!”
Lin Yuan said “good” three times in a row,
clearly extremely satisfied with the darkkin demon sword.
Returning the demon sword to A Li, Lin Yuan gave Tie Chui a thumbs up.
“Amazing!”
It had to be said, the darkkin demon sword truly fulfilled all of Lin Yuan’s fantasies.
Its attributes were top-tier,
and its appearance was magnificent.
What Lin Yuan was most satisfied with was the flashing special effect at the moment of splitting and combining.
It was simply too cool.
Tie Chui chuckled, “As long as Master likes it.”
Actually, Tie Chui’s original plan didn't include such flamboyant special effects.
The ores used weren't Luminous Crystal and Fluorescent Magnetite either,
but Obsidian and Dark Magnetite.
Doing so would have endowed the darkkin demon sword with dark attribute attack traits,
making it even more elusive and its movements undetectable.
This plan was rejected by A Li.
A Li deeply understood Lin Yuan's preferences,
and suggested that Tie Chui, without affecting the darkkin demon sword's attributes,
should add as many magnificent special effects as possible.
The more gorgeous, the better.
With splendid special effects that didn't compromise the darkkin demon sword's attributes,
based on A Li's requirements,
Tie Chui ultimately chose Luminous Crystal and Fluorescent Magnetite.
This was undoubtedly a great success.
Just look at Lin Yuan holding the demon sword,
exactly like a child swinging a wooden sword at grass,
overjoyed.
Zero clapped softly from the side.
“Master's demeanor shines like the stars.”
“Even a legendary demon sword pales in comparison before you.”
“The sight of you holding the demon sword seems to gather all the brilliance of the world onto yourself, making it unforgettable at first glance.”
Zero's voice was clear and resonant,
and everyone could hear it.
This emotional value was truly maxed out.
Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, “Hahahahaha.”
“Well said, I love to hear it.”
Tie Chui and A Li exchanged glances,
and a word simultaneously popped into their minds: sycophant.
The legendary demon sword was successfully forged by the combined efforts of Tie Chui, A Li, and Ayan.
Tie Chui contributed the most, and A Li and Ayan also worked very hard.
Lin Yuan was also very satisfied.
Yet, despite their hard work, the praise they received was less than Zero's few light words.
How annoying!
A Li and Tie Chui glanced at Zero.
This guy wasn't strong in combat, but his words were sweet,
on par with Ghost.
The two of them together would definitely be a villainous duo.
Even the Ten Regular Attendants wouldn't be able to hold a candle to them.
However, the two didn't take it too seriously,
because Zero was still an unofficial member,
not yet regularized.
Both of them were Lin Yuan's official Summoned Beasts, and they had strength to back them up.
Even if Zero's words were honeyed,
it wouldn't affect their standing in Lin Yuan's heart.
The only one who might be affected was Ayan.
Originally, Ayan was the only unofficial Summoned Beast,
and was sure to be regularized next.
But Zero's appearance made this matter uncertain.
Ayan stared intently at Zero's body.
“You also want to become Lin Yuan's Summoned Beast, don't you?”
“Then let's compete fairly.”
“Let's have a battle between men!”
Ayan's chuunibyou spirit ignited again,
clamoring for a duel of men with Zero.
Zero's body had not yet been repaired,
and it was impossible to unleash the power of a Seventh-Rank Monarch.
At most, it could only display the strength of a Fifth-Tier Battle General.
Fighting a Sixth-Rank Red Dragon was too much of a stretch.
Facing Ayan's battle invitation,
Zero did not directly refuse,
but instead elevated Ayan to an important position.
“Lord Ayan is at the top of the food chain, a member of the Dragon race, with combat power immeasurably higher than mine.”
“Moreover, Lord Ayan followed Master first; I am a newcomer who just joined.”
“Both logically and emotionally, Lord Ayan should be the first to sign a contract with Master.”
“I can only provide some data support and assistance in daily life.”
“In front of everyone, I am insignificant.”
“It's not too late for me to become Master's Summoned Beast whenever Master needs me.”
Look,
how well-spoken those words were.
Ayan was overjoyed by these words,
and raised his dragon claw to pat Zero's shoulder.
“You're quite honest.”
“How about this, if any new people join, I'll support you.”
Ayan didn't know where he learned it,
but his tone was like an old gang leader,
starting with “I'll support you.”
Anyone who didn't know would think Ayan was the boss of some gang.
Lin Yuan watched from the side, amused.
These few had their own unique characteristics,
but when it came to scheming,
all of them combined couldn't outwit Zero.
Zero's database contained vast amounts of data,
allowing it to truly speak to people in their own language and to Ghosts in theirs.
Being so diligent towards Lin Yuan,
wasn't its goal simply to become Lin Yuan's Summoned Beast,
thereby gaining the possibility of infinite evolution?
Lin Yuan obviously knew this,
but it didn't affect his attitude towards Zero at all.
Who doesn't love to hear flattering words?
Those who claim not to must not have been touched deep down.
Coming out of the cave,
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something.
There were still 750,000 evolution points unused on the Panel.
Just enough to evolve A'lan into a Sixth-Rank Wisdom Ancient Tree.
Why not Ghost?
Because Ghost had gone fishing after 5 o'clock,
and hadn't returned yet.
Only A'lan was left at home,
so, Lin Yuan naturally evolved A'lan first.
There was also another important point:
A'lan had received the inheritance of the Wisdom Ancient Tree.
After reaching Sixth-Rank, she would transform into a Wisdom Ancient Tree with spellcasting abilities.
The War Ancient Tree form, which used to rampage through streets, was a thing of the past.
Lin Yuan rubbed his hands, a little excited.
Finally, there would be a magic damage dealer in the team!
Not a half-baked one,
but a true magic damage dealer capable of casting regular spells.
[Consume 500,000 evolution points, Fifth-Tier Ancient Tree Elf evolves into Sixth-Tier Wisdom Spirit]
The moment A'lan evolved,
Ghost, who was fishing by the river, let out a “hehehe” laugh,
because a fish had taken the bait.
It was a huge one, over ten pounds.
This fish would be taken back to stew soup for Lin Yuan,
and then advancing to Sixth-Rank would be as easy as pie.
