Chapter 187: Visiting The Weapon Peak
The Weapon had a dark metal shaft about the length of a spear, but the blade was longer than a glaive’s—closer to a normal sword or curved saber. The edge was jagged near the base, smooth near the tip. On the other end of the shaft was a weighted blunt knob.
"What is that?" Han Yu asked.
"Modified split-glaive, Mid Grade Spirit Weapon." Lan Bo said. "You can hold it near the blade for short-range combat like a saber, or grip the end for extended reach like a polearm. The knob can also be used to bash skulls."
Han Yu took it in his hands.
It was a bit heavier than expected, but not unwieldy. As he tried a few moves—basic swings, thrusts, spins—he found that it responded smoothly. And strangely, it did feel right. He could picture himself using this to complement his Bolt God Fist and Falling Leaf Strike. Short-range slashes. Long-range sweeps. Counter-hits.
"I like it," he said, surprised.
Lan Bo grinned. "No one else did. You’re the first person to show interest in that thing in three years."
"How much?"
"Six mid-grade spirit stones. And two hundred merit points."
Han Yu blinked. "That’s it?"
"It’s a clearance item," Lan Bo said with a shrug. "Cheap, sturdy, but untested in battle. No fancy inscriptions. No lightning. No hidden blade compartments. What you see is what you get."
