182: Sword-Forging Divine Crystal!

"Junior Brother Feng, my Blade Radiance is hard to control, don't take risks."

Seeing Feng Ming catch his Blade Radiance, Huangfu Rui spoke with a dark expression.

It seemed like a reminder, but it was actually a threat.

Feng Ming completely ignored him, directly supporting the Blade Radiance with one hand while quickly pulling out the Sword Intent light orb with the other, casually tossing it to Lu Qianqian.

Lu Qianqian hurriedly put away the Sword Intent orb and glared at Huangfu Rui.

She naturally knew that Huangfu Rui hadn't lost control, but had done it intentionally with the aim of ruining her.

Although losing was due to her inferior skills, no one could remain rational and smile after nearly being crippled.

Feng Ming gave Lu Qianqian a reassuring look before turning to Huangfu Rui and saying, "Senior Brother Huangfu, since you can't control your Blade Radiance and Lu Qianqian has already admitted defeat, I'll destroy this Blade Radiance for you to avoid injuring other fellow Disciples."

After saying that, Feng Ming's palm suddenly exerted force, and his five fingers all sank into the Blade Radiance simultaneously.

Five holes were forcibly poked into the Blade Radiance.

Countless cracks appeared near the holes, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire Blade Radiance, which was on the verge of collapsing.

Huangfu Rui felt a sweet, metallic taste of blood in his mouth and hurriedly tried to stop him, "Junior Brother Feng, there's no need to trouble yourself."

Feng Ming said, "Senior Brother Huangfu, no need to thank me too much. I'm doing this for everyone's sake; it's just a small effort."

Huangfu Rui's mouth twitched. What kind of goddamned 'small effort' was this?

But at this moment, he couldn't afford to argue with Feng Ming.

Before Feng Ming could exert more force, he quickly pulled back, and with a 'bang,' the Blade Radiance exploded on the spot.

It turned into dust that scattered through the air.

"Junior Brother Feng is right. This was my responsibility, so I had to destroy this Blade Radiance even if it meant risking my life."

Feng Ming withdrew his palm and stared sharply at Huangfu Rui.

"That's truly miraculous. Senior Brother Huangfu, one moment you can't control it, and the next you can. Someone who didn't know better might think you did it on purpose just to ruin Lu Qianqian."

Feng Ming's words were already very blunt.

In fact, many people offstage shared this thought.

Huangfu Rui snorted coldly, "Junior Brother Feng, why do you say that? Junior Sister Lu and I are fellow Disciples. I care for her deeply, so how could I do such a thing?"

"I just didn't react in time because of the urgency. Besides, self-destructing would injure me too; I just didn't have time earlier."

Feng Ming smiled upon hearing this, "As long as it's not the case. After all, Senior Brother Huangfu really did work hard, not hesitating to injure himself through self-destruction for a fellow Disciple."

Huangfu Rui snorted coldly and turned to leave the stage.

At this time, Elder Pan finally rushed over and immediately asked Lu Qianqian with concern.

"Are you alright?"

Lu Qianqian shook her head. Elder Pan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she was indeed not injured.

The Huangfu Family and the Lu Family had been fighting secretly for many years, and the Lingxiao Sect had always remained neutral, not getting involved.

But when the nest is overturned, are there any eggs left intact?

Since they were in Qingyang City, how could they remain completely uninvolved?

Huangfu Rui and Lu Qianqian were both taken as Disciples by the Sect Master not because they were exceptionally outstanding.

It was merely to maintain a balance.

If the two families could live in peace, it would naturally be good. If not, the Lingxiao Sect would inevitably stand with the Lu Family.

After all, Lu Zhenfeng represented the Bright Moon Dynasty.

And the Lingxiao Sect was also equivalent to a talent cultivation machine for the Dynasty, with the final talents being funneled into the Dynasty.

The ties between them were naturally deeper.

Elder Pan still had to preside over the Sect Competition, so he didn't waste much time. Once he confirmed Lu Qianqian was fine, he went back to his duties.

When Feng Ming came down, Lu Qianqian hurried to meet him.

Jiang Shuwan and Feng Mian also went to meet him together.

Seeing Feng Mian, Lu Qianqian's eyes were red, her face full of gratitude. "Brother-in-law, thank you. If it wasn't for you, this time I'm afraid I would have really..."

Feng Ming patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, it's over now. I'm here, and I won't let anyone have the chance to hurt you."

It was just a small effort, so he didn't take it to heart.

Lu Qianqian was already moved, and hearing Feng Ming's words, she felt even more touched.

It is said that women admire the strong, and Lu Qianqian was no exception. But why did she admire the strong?

Wasn't it because she wanted a man who could protect her, comfort her, and give her support and encouragement when she was in danger or in need?

Feng Ming had clearly achieved this.

Another thing that makes a girl's heart flutter is a hero saving a beauty or meticulous care.

Feng Ming had also achieved this.

The love in Lu Qianqian's heart was like a bursting dam.

Feng Ming not only saw it but also confirmed it for certain.

Because the System's voice had already sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully doting on his wife. Wife Lu Qianqian's favorability has increased to 70%.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining System rewards: The effect of the second layer of the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art has increased to 25 times; obtained one advanced version of the Physique Transformation Secret Manual (earth grade); and one sword forging divine crystal stone.]

Feng Ming wasn't surprised by the System's voice; after all, the love in this little girl's eyes was almost overflowing.

However, these rewards... Feng Ming was used to the others.

Even the Physique Transformation Secret Manual didn't make Feng Ming too excited.

The sword forging divine crystal stone, however, surprised Feng Ming a bit.

[sword forging divine crystal stone: A rare sword-forging Ore used to improve the quality of a sword during forging, reaching up to heaven grade.]

Looking at the description, Feng Ming couldn't help but be stunned.

This was clearly giving him exactly what was needed, and it was tailored for Lu Qianqian.

The former's sword had just broken, and the System gave him a Divine Crystal for sword forging.

Although Feng Ming could use it himself.

But he had told Jiang Shuwan before that he Cultivated Sword Intent and anything could be a sword.

Jiang Shuwan, on the other hand, Cultivated palm techniques.

The need for weapons for the two of them was optional.

Moreover, if he gave it to Lu Qianqian, the System would give him feedback rewards later.

Thinking of this, Feng Ming didn't hesitate and gave the Divine Crystal to Lu Qianqian on the spot.

Lu Qianqian was stunned, "What is this, Brother-in-law?"

Feng Ming smiled, "I'm giving you a new sword, but you'll have to find someone to forge it yourself."

"For the Liangzhou Trial, a handy weapon is very important."

Lu Qianqian was instantly moved, but she looked hesitant. "Brother-in-law, neither you nor Sister Shuwan have one. Isn't it inappropriate to give it to me?"

Feng Ming shook his head, "Silly girl, just take it. Don't worry about your Sister Shuwan; I won't favor one over the other."

"Besides, weapons aren't of much help to either of us."

Feng Ming stuffed the item into Lu Qianqian's hand.

Lu Qianqian looked at the Divine Crystal in her hand and then at Feng Ming. Even though he hadn't done anything else, her face turned red.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Although her voice was very low, Feng Ming could hear the joy in it.
