I Just Won't Play By The Book - Chapter 91: Sword Nam, “Levin”

“Ha… ha… Brother Jiang… I really can’t breathe. Let me… rest for a while.” Wu Qingce, who was already exhausted, lay on the ground and panted.

Jiang Beiran threw the two Shadowless Darts back to Wu Qingce and said, “Your speed has indeed improved a lot. Moreover, you used the Shadowless Darts well. I can see that you’ve put in some effort.”

“Thank… Thank you for your praise, Brother

Jiang.”

“Can you still stand up?”

“Yes!”

Taking a deep breath, Wu Qingce forced himself to stand up.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran walked to Wu Qingce and took out a green sword from the storage ring and handed it to him.

“Take it.”

Wu Qingce was stunned at first, then he immediately bowed and reached out his hands to take the sword.

“This sword is called Levin. I made it with dark iron. With the thunder spiritual essence in your body now, you can unleash its greatest power. It’s yours.”

“Levin…” Wu Qingce repeated in a low voice, then came back to his senses and shouted, “Thank you for the sword, Brother Jiang!”

“Let’s go and find a place to test the sword.”

After taking the green spirit pill that Jiang Beiran gave him last time, Wu Qingce recovered a large amount of mystic energy. He immediately followed Jiang Beiran down the mountain.

They arrived at a valley a few miles away. Jiang Beiran stopped and turned around to say to Wu Qingce, who was desperately chasing after him, “Let’s do it here.”

“Yes!”

Relying on the green spirit pill, Wu Qingce had already recovered all the mystic energy that he had used up along the way. At this moment, he was at his peak condition again.

Wu Qingce glanced at his senior brother while holding the Levin. Seeing that Jiang Beiran nodded, Wu Qingce abruptly pulled Levin out of the sheath.

Unlike the sound of an ordinary sword being unsheathed, when the Levin was unsheathed, it was like a muffled thunder, causing Wu Qingce’s mind to tremble.

After admiring the azure sword pattern that was like a wild thunder, Wu Qingce waved the Levin sword and performed several sword moves. The sword aura brought by the moves alone cut the surrounding boulders into two halves.

Until there was nothing around to hit, Wu Qingce ran back to Jiang Beiran and bowed, “Thank you, Brother Jiang!”

“Does it work?”

“It works so well! Your forging skills are really superb!”

“But you didn’t use it correctly.”

“Ah?” Wu Qingce was stunned.

“Give me the sword.”

Jiang Beiran reached out his hand towards Wu Qingce. Wu Qingce respectfully placed Levin in his senior brother’s hand and then retreated dozens of meters. His eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Watch carefully. I will only show you once.”

As Jiang Beiran spoke, he threw a green pill with a pill halo into his mouth.

In the next second, Levin’s sword suddenly erupted with a blinding light. At the same time, clear green lines lit up on the body of the sword.

Then, Jiang Beiran waved his right hand. Levin shattered under Wu Qingce’s extremely shocked gaze. “This…”

As Wu Qingce was shocked, Levin shattered into seven pieces, flew into the air. Each piece emitted a blinding white light like lightning, accompanied by the crackling sound of thunder and lightning

“Fall!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With Jiang Beiran’s soft shout, the seven pieces of Levin shattered into the ground at the same time like seven bolts of lightning.

Looking at the seven charred pits in front of him, Wu Qingce suddenly understood why this sword was called Levin.

Without waiting for Wu Qingce to close his mouth, he saw the seven pieces of Levin shard in the pit fly back to his senior brother and reassemble into a complete sword. “Too… too… too…” Wu Qingce stuttered as he walked toward Jiang Beiran, and his speed became faster and faster. Finally, he slid to Jiang Beiran and hugged his thigh, “It’s too awesome, Brother Jiang!”

“Get off me. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Jiang Beiran kicked Wu Qingce away and put Levin back into the scabbard. He then said, “Do you understand now?”

Wu Qingce, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and said, “I understand now, but I can’t learn it…”

“After eating that Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, the power of the thunder spiritual essence in your body will become stronger and it is the key to driving this Levin.” Hearing this, Wu Qingce’s heart suddenly shook.

He understood that whether it was the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, Levin, or the Extreme Speed Pill, they were all custom-made for him by his senior brother. Jiang Beiran was helping Wu Qingce to win the champion of gathering of young heroes.

“Brother Jiang!” Wu Qingce shouted excitedly, and once again pounced towards Jiang Beiran, but he was mercilessly kicked away by Jiang Beiran again.

After wiping away the tears, Wu Qingce raised his head and asked, “Brother Jiang… could it be that the Levin that you’ve created is already a magical item?”

Jiang Beiran replied, “No, it’s still far away, but it does have the potential to become a magical item.”

After seeing many magical items and ancient books, Jiang Beiran knew that there were two ways to create a magical item.

First, one could use precious materials that were extremely rich in spiritual essence to create a magical item like the Cloud Plate Armor that Shi Fenglan had lent him. A strong cultivator could stimulate its full potential, thus achieving a far better effect.

The second was to cultivate the weapon spirit.

The so-called weapon spirit was a weapon or defensive tool that might gain intelligence after being nurtured by its owner for a long period of time. A weapon spirit was very loyal to its owner, and it could even have emotions when it became stronger. It could also sense and learn and deal with certain situations in the world on its own.

Eventually, it reached the level of absorbing the spiritual essence of the outside world on its own, maintaining and strengthening itself on its own, thus completing the leap from a peerless tier to a magical item.

It was extremely difficult to nurture a weapon spirit, but after reading a large number of books, Jiang Beiran had found some tricks. First, the item must have a really high potential.

This could be achieved through excellent materials and exquisite techniques.

Second, the user’s talent had to be strong enough, which could also cause the weapon spirit to resonate.

When the two were combined, the rate of the creation of the weapon spirit would increase by a little, the rest could only depend on luck.

Throwing Levin back to Wu Qingce, Jiang Beiran said, “Think of a convincing explanation on how you get the sword. Don’t make any mistakes.”

“Please rest assured, Brother Jiang.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said while holding the sword.

However, when he looked up again, he found that his senior brother had disappeared.

“Brother Jiang, I will definitely win the championship!” Wu Qingce swore in his heart.
