97: Chapter 97 The Master of Weapon Refining, the Accompanying Secret Technique

Nangong Rou plucked the string of the four symbols thunder bow, and a single touch sent a muffled, thunder-like vibration through it.

"Originally, I wanted to give it to my Guangyu as a birthday gift, I didn't expect..."

Nangong Rou listened to the muffled thunder coming from the four symbols thunder bow and murmured in a low voice, her eyes filled with infinite longing.

"Fine, this four symbols thunder bow will do too!"

Zhou Bai said indifferently.

S-class bow-type weapons were quite rare, and moreover, this was lightning-attributed, making it equally precious.

He had to admit, this Nangong Rou was being quite sincere.

Next, Nangong Rou handed the four symbols thunder bow over to Zhou Bai.

Once the four symbols thunder bow was in his hands, Zhou Bai felt an incredibly mysterious power seemingly flowing slowly into his body.

It was just like when he had handled that black stone tablet, the forbidden relic.

Could it be that this four symbols thunder bow had an innate archery technique? A guess surfaced in Zhou Bai's mind.

"Two S-class weapons are enough. Now, shouldn't Madam Li kneel and apologize?"

Then, Zhou Bai suppressed his thoughts and spoke to Nangong Rou.

"Zhou Bai, don't push your luck. We've already given you two S-class weapons. Leave some room for maneuver!"

A Li family powerhouse beside her immediately said in a heavy voice.

"Shut up! I, Nangong Rou, do what I say!"

Nangong Rou glanced at that powerhouse and spoke indifferently.

After speaking, Nangong Rou knelt down directly and then said sincerely,

"Student Zhou Bai, I am sorry. I misunderstood you!"

Looking at Nangong Rou, who had knelt down directly to apologize, Zhou Bai felt a deep chill in his heart.

Such a woman was too terrifying.

For her goals, she could sacrifice anything.

If she ever found out that I was the one who killed her child, she would definitely seek revenge at all costs.

No one would be able to stop her...

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai became even more vigilant. He had to be careful not to expose himself.

"Fine, I forgive you!"

Zhou Bai then said indifferently, his tone extremely calm.

"Thank you for your understanding, Student Zhou Bai!"

Nangong Rou then said slowly.

After speaking, Nangong Rou stood up directly and moved to the other side.

"Should my friend also be screened? No need to kneel and apologize—two A-class weapons and a simple apology will do!"

After Nangong Rou stood up, Zhou Bai spoke to her again.

"I want to be screened!"

Nangong Wan said without the slightest hesitation.

Zhu Yueer then obediently came to Zhou Bai's side to undergo Nangong Rou's screening.

A moment later, Zhu Yueer's screening was complete, and there were no abnormalities.

Nangong Wan gave Zhu Yueer two A-class weapons and apologized before letting Zhou Bai and Zhu Yueer leave.

"Screen everyone carefully. Do not let a single person go. I must find the killer!"

After the screening, Nangong Rou spoke with a firm voice to the many Li family powerhouses around her.

Everyone nodded one after another and continued screening the surrounding martial artists.

"Thank you, Mayor Yang!"

After returning to Qingcheng, Zhou Bai spoke gratefully to Yang Chi.

He knew that the reason Nangong Rou had bowed her head was partly due to her wariness of his status, but also partly because of Yang Chi.

Otherwise, Nangong Rou would likely have forced the screening and wouldn't have given Zhou Bai much room to negotiate.

"I didn't really do anything!"

Yang Chi said slowly, his face full of guilt.

"By the way, I'll introduce you to our Qingcheng's weapon refinement grandmaster. Let him refine a weapon for you!"

Then, Yang Chi spoke to Zhou Bai.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mayor Yang!"

Zhou Bai did not refuse and spoke slowly.

The current blood shadow battle saber was already having difficulty keeping up with Zhou Bai's strength.

Only an S-class weapon could allow Zhou Bai's strength to be fully displayed.

Next, Zhou Bai and Zhu Yueer took Yang Chi's airship and headed for Qingcheng University.

That weapon refinement grandmaster was a top-tier mentor at Qingcheng University.

"Mayor Yang has come from afar; your presence truly graces my humble abode!"

In a remote small courtyard of Qingcheng University, a hearty voice rang out.

A middle-aged man with a bare chest and a build as sturdy as a tiger walked out of the courtyard, smiling.

The middle-aged man had a robust physique, and every breath he took seemed to contain a powerful aura.

A wave of heat even radiated from his body...

"Zongfang, long time no see!"

Yang Chi also greeted Wang Zongfang with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, Yang Chi explained their purpose and introduced the two of them to Wang Zongfang.

"No problem. Student Zhou Bai, you are a peerless genius of our Xia Country. I can certainly forge a weapon for you!"

Upon learning that it was Zhou Bai who wanted a weapon forged, Wang Zongfang became even more enthusiastic.

"Thank you, Mentor Wang. I want to use this Purple Thunder Demonic Crystal to forge together with this blood shadow battle saber. I wonder if the two can be merged?"

Zhou Bai then took out his blood shadow battle saber and handed it along with the Purple Thunder Demonic Crystal to Wang Zongfang.

The blood shadow battle saber was an A-class attribute saber, and Zhou Bai quite liked it. In continuous combat, it could absorb blood to increase its power while also helping him recover a certain amount of Qi and Blood Power.

If it could merge with Thunder Power and become a dual-attribute S-class saber, that would be for the best.

"There shouldn't be a problem. The foundation of this blood shadow battle saber is very good; it can definitely be merged!"

After examining the blood shadow battle saber, Wang Zongfang spoke to Zhou Bai.

"Then I'll leave it in your hands, Mentor Wang!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bai's eyes were filled with joy.

The power of a dual-attribute S-class saber would undoubtedly be immense.

"Then let's add each other on Feixun. When it's finished, I'll notify you to come and get it. If it's inconvenient to pick up, give me your address and I'll have someone deliver it!"

After finalizing the forging details, Wang Zongfang spoke to Zhou Bai.

Next, the two added each other as friends on Feixun.

After a few more pleasantries, Yang Chi led Zhou Bai out of the small courtyard.

"Wang Zongfang is a top-tier weapon refinement master with incredible forging techniques. I believe your blood shadow battle saber will be successfully upgraded very soon!"

Outside the courtyard, Yang Chi spoke to Zhou Bai.

"I must thank you again, Mayor Yang, for the introduction!"

Zhou Bai said gratefully.

"It's nothing, just a small favor!"

Yang Chi waved his hand.

The two also added contact info and chatted briefly before Yang Chi bid Zhou Bai farewell; he still had many affairs to handle.

[Four Images Thunderbolt Arrow]: S-class archery technique. It channels the power of the Four Sacred Beasts to transform into thunderbolt arrows, possessing extremely strong destructive power.

Zhou Bai then looked at his system panel.

On his system panel, an additional top-tier S-class secret technique had appeared—it was precisely the innate archery technique of the four symbols thunder bow.

"An S-class bow and arrow, plus an S-class archery technique, along with my top-tier Dutian Divine Thunder... once I cultivate it to a high level, it will surely be a powerful trump card!"

Zhou Bai murmured in his heart.

"God Bai, let me take you for a stroll around Qingcheng University!"

A moment later, Zhu Yueer came to Zhou Bai's side and spoke to him.

"Alright, let's take a stroll then."

Zhou Bai nodded. After all, Zhu Yueer had given him her most precious possession...

Next, Zhou Bai and Zhu Yueer wandered around Qingcheng University, leaving their footprints in many places.
