200: Chapter 200 What's the use of this broken inheritance? New equipment: Azure Extreme Gold Heavy Hammer!

The Skinny Old Man stared at Lu Qingyun's eyes, which were filled with a desire for "benefits." Far from being displeased, he stroked his white beard and nodded to himself.

"Greed... A little greed is good!" Only with desire could one be driven.

He immediately cleared his throat and straightened his small frame.

His tone carried a vast arrogance that didn't match his size: "That goes without saying! The Former Master traversed the sea of stars for tens of thousands of years, possessed dozens of life-bearing planets, established a massive Family with a Legacy spanning ten thousand years, and occasionally moonlighted as a space pirate, robbing the rich to help the poor!"

"The fortune accumulated is simply beyond the imagination of your indigenous planet."

At this point, his tone shifted, becoming solemn again: "However, it's the same principle as the core Legacy. The truly massive wealth can only be accessed once you possess Stellar-level combat power."

"Otherwise, with your current Micro-level strength, carrying a Treasure Trove of immense value out into the world is no different from a three-year-old child walking through the streets holding a gold brick. Not only would you be unable to protect it, but it would also invite fatal disaster."

The smile on Lu Qingyun's face faded bit by bit.

He took a step forward, the air pressure around him instantly cooling. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an oppressive Aura: "So, after all that talk, the Cultivation Technique is only given when I become stronger, and the wealth is only accessible when I become stronger."

"Then what is left for me in this Legacy? Just a pile of verbal promises?"

"So I spent all that effort breaking in, and in the end, I still have to rely on my own handsome appearance, unparalleled talent, and unyielding perseverance to grind my way to Stellar-level?"

He scoffed, glancing sideways at The Skinny Old Man, his displeasure unconcealed: "Then what the hell is the use of this crappy Legacy?"

Upon hearing this, The Skinny Old Man was not panicked at all; instead, he puffed out his chest even further.

He said proudly: "How could it be useless? You still have me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qingyun narrowed his eyes. He looked at The Skinny Old Man with a deep gaze.

His fingers twitched, as if he couldn't help but want to take action. But in the end, he held back and didn't move.

Immediately, he nodded meaningfully. "Indeed... I still have you."

The Skinny Old Man didn't catch the implication in his words, thinking instead that Lu Qingyun had been intimidated by him: "Once the formal master-servant recognition is complete, I can scan your physical state in real-time, precisely match the most suitable cultivation path for you, and help you maximize your efficiency!"

"Furthermore, my database contains a massive amount of secret techniques usable at the Micro-level. In your world, these should be called Spirit Arts. Don't look down on them just because they are common goods in the starry sky; on this indigenous planet that hasn't connected with the stars, they are treasures that transcend the era."

"Just throwing out one of them would be enough to make your local Dharma Manifestation and Saint-Entering experts fight tooth and nail!"

"Moreover, the place we are standing in right now is a Stellar-level spaceship left behind by the Former Master! It has complete functions, both offensive and defensive capabilities; it's just that the energy is currently insufficient, so most of the System is in hibernation."

As he spoke, his figure "whooshed" and disappeared from where he stood.

In less than half a minute, The Skinny Old Man darted back, followed by a long blade floating in mid-air.

The blade was slender, glowing with a deep, dark blue luster throughout, and fine star patterns flowed along the edge.

Just placing it there exuded a sense of sharpness capable of cutting through iron like mud.

The material was similar to the Puppet from the first trial, but refined countless times over; even the dissipating Aura carried a heavy sense of oppression.

"Take a look at this." The Skinny Old Man reached out and patted the blade, looking proud. "Back then, the Former Master robbed a large-scale Deep Blue Gold mine, taking over ten thousand tons of Deep Blue Gold. Although most of it was sold for resources, some was left behind."

"This blade is crafted from the top-tier Deep Blue Extreme Gold. Its performance crushes all Materials on your planet in every aspect. To call it a divine Sharp Weapon is no exaggeration."

"If you feel the style doesn't suit your hand, it can be melted down and reforged at any time."

Although he said that, The Skinny Old Man didn't move an inch. He knew clearly in his heart that any Martial Artist from an indigenous planet would have their eyes pop out upon seeing a weapon of this quality.

They would be afraid of dropping it if held in their hands, afraid of melting it if kept in their mouths—how could they bear to melt it down for reforging? They would likely snatch it over impatiently the next second and be unable to put it down.

But just as he was feeling smug, Lu Qingyun's voice rang out calmly: "Since it can be melted down and reforged, then let's melt it and start over."

The smile on The Skinny Old Man's face froze instantly. He jerked his head up, his small eyes widened round, almost thinking he had misheard: "What?!"

"I said, melt this blade." "Then, use all the Materials, and make one according to the look of this old partner of mine."

Lu Qingyun's lips curled up slightly, and he reached into his System space. "Boom—!" A dull, thunderous sound rang out.

A large black iron hammer, pitch-black all over and covered in mottled bloodstains, slammed heavily onto the ground. The hammer head was as thick as a stone pillar, with many spikes on its surface.

The murderous Aura almost condensed into substance. Standing there, it looked exactly like a killing tool fished out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Whether in shape or appearance, it was crude, clumsy, and ridiculously ugly.

The Skinny Old Man's eyes went straight. He pointed at the big black iron hammer, his voice distorted: "Melt... melt down a battle blade crafted from Deep Blue Extreme Gold, using all the Deep Blue Gold, just to forge such an ugly monstrosity?!"

Isn't this a waste of precious Materials!

"Is there a problem?" Lu Qingyun raised his eyelids, his gaze deep, his tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable force.

The Skinny Old Man's heart skipped a beat, and the complaints on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. He immediately put on a smiling face: "No! Of course not! Everything will be done according to the Master's will!"

As the words fell, The Skinny Old Man disappeared again. This time, it took twice as long as before. After The Skinny Old Man returned, his complexion was clearly not as good as before. It was as if he had been humiliated all over.

Beside him, a giant black hammer, nearly ten times larger than the original and resembling a small hill, landed slowly. The hammer body remained in a rugged, dark style, but it shimmered with a faint dark blue luster. Deep within the patterns, starlight flowed, adding a touch of weight and sharpness.

Lu Qingyun stepped forward and gripped the hammer handle with one hand. It felt slightly cool to the touch, and the heavy weight traveled up his arm—it had a substantial heft.

[Deep Blue Extreme Gold Heavy Hammer: Heaviness +100, Strength boost 100%! Trait (Stun): Every attack has a certain probability of ignoring Rank to stun the enemy, forcibly causing three seconds of paralysis. Equip to Weapon Slot?]

"Equip." Instantly, Lu Qingyun clearly felt a violent surge of strength pouring in from the hammer body! A doubled strength boost! ...
