Chapter 358 - 354: The Long Spear
After obtaining this weapon, Ling Chen still hadn’t had the time to properly study it. Today, Qin Wu’s actions had sparked a strong interest in this weapon.
The weapon was laid out in front of him, held up by Ling Chen’s hands for a closer inspection. At the top of the cylindrical body, there was a clever mechanism that controlled the extension and retraction of the sword blade. The surface of the cylinder was etched with many patterns, and it felt quite heavy in hand. However, it seemed that besides these features, there were no other special functions.
Moments passed, and Ling Chen couldn’t help but doubt - could it be that Qin Wu hadn’t deceived him? Was her determination to obtain this weapon simply because it held special significance for her sect?
Lost in thought, Ling Chen casually maneuvered the weapon, his eyes reflecting contemplation.
Suddenly, the astute Ling Chen noticed a thin seam in the middle of the cylinder, hard to spot due to the overlaying patterns. He immediately grasped both ends of the cylinder and gently twisted.
Click!
With a soft sound, the middle part of the cylinder began to rotate. At the same time, the cylinder, initially only a foot in length, rapidly extended from both ends, transforming into a six-foot long staff. Not only that, when he pressed the clever mechanism, a sharp sword blade suddenly protruded from the top of the staff, instantly turning the staff into a long spear.
Tsk, tsk!
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, so this was it. He had to admit, even calling this craftsmanship heaven-defying wouldn’t be an overstatement. After all, this weapon was crafted hundreds of years ago. To produce something so intricate in an era with such limited technology was quite the feat.
However, as ingenious as this weapon was, it likely wasn’t the main reason that attracted Qin Wu. There must be other secrets hidden within it.
