The Spear Called World-Shocking!

The Spear Called World-Shocking!

Xiao Chenyu had run into Tang San, and the outcome went without saying. A simple Binding soul skill had brought everything to an end.

It was worth mentioning that after Tang San gave Xiao Chenyu a beating, Xiao Wu stepped up as well and beat him until he was unrecognizable. The name Sister Xiao Wu had also spread throughout Notting College.

This duel had rapidly elevated the status of the Work-Study Students at Notting College. Now, no Noble Students dared bully them anymore. As for Xiao Wu, she rampaged around the college every day, provoking upperclassmen who had already become Soul Masters, without suffering a single defeat. For a time, no one could rival her prominence.

Four days had passed since the last duel. During those four days, Lu Yuan meditated while thoroughly refining the design for his long spear.

The spear was two meters long, with a massive golden dragon coiling around its shaft. Its golden scales were lifelike, and from the dragon's head protruded a cold blade—the spearpoint itself. Several barbs and blood grooves were designed along both sides of the spearhead. Once it pierced a human body, blood would gush out in an instant.

Looking at the design in his hand, Lu Yuan smiled in satisfaction. He folded it and placed it into his Soul Guidance Ring, then slowly left Notting College. He needed to find a blacksmith shop to forge the spear.

There were quite a few blacksmith shops in Notting City, but the most reputable and skilled one was located in the bustling district east of Notting College. This shop valued honesty in business and charged reasonable prices, making it popular among the residents of Notting City.

The blacksmith shop was not far from Notting College. After walking about two li, the crisp ringing of hammering iron had already reached his ears.

"Looks like I'm here!" Lu Yuan stopped as he looked at the large banner bearing the character for iron fluttering outside the blacksmith shop and felt the steadily rising temperature.

As he stepped inside, the temperature suddenly soared. It was the intense heat produced by the blazing forge.

"Little fellow, what can I do for you?" The moment Lu Yuan entered the shop, a muscular man appeared before him.

"Hello, Uncle. I'd like to have a long spear forged. Can you do that here?" Lu Yuan asked.

"What material do you want? Do you have specific requirements for the weight, length, and style of the spear?" the man asked.

Lu Yuan said, "I want the shaft made from Black Vein Iron and Mithril, and the spearhead forged from Skyfrost Iron. It would be best to add Sunken Silver to the spear to ensure flexibility. The spear should be around two meters long and weigh roughly two or three hundred jin."

"Little fellow, are you joking?" The burly man was startled. None of the metals Lu Yuan had just named were ordinary; every one of them was a precious metal. A single kilogram cost several Gold Soul Coins, and that was only the cost price. If Lu Yuan had not been dressed so finely, he would have thought the boy was joking.

Lu Yuan naturally knew what the man was thinking and immediately said, "Uncle, you don't need to worry about the money. I'll pay half the deposit upfront. I just want to know whether anyone here can forge it. This is the spear's design."

As he spoke, he handed the completed blueprint to the man.

The man accepted the blueprint skeptically and examined it carefully. After a long while, he exclaimed, "What an intricate design! But forging it according to the requirements on this drawing would be extremely difficult!"

"Can it be forged? Money isn't a problem!" Lu Yuan really was not short on money right now. Aside from the five hundred Gold Soul Coins distributed by Spirit Hall, he had also gotten one thousand Gold Soul Coins from Ferros. Forging a single spear should be more than affordable.

The burly man sighed and said, "Based on what this blueprint says, this spear has very demanding forging requirements. I can't do it, but you came at the right time. A new apprentice recently joined my shop. With his hammering technique, he should be able to forge it."

"Then please take me to see him quickly!" Lu Yuan said, delighted.

"Alright, follow me!" He followed the burly man farther into the blacksmith shop.

There were many separate rooms in the shop. These were specially designed for blacksmiths forging delicate items, so they would not be disturbed. Generally, blacksmiths who had their own separate rooms were quite skilled.

They arrived before one of the rooms. It had no door; instead, a curtain separated it from the outside, allowing for easier ventilation.

"Little San, are you free? We've got business!" the burly man called into the room.

"Uncle Tie, what is it?" The curtain was pulled aside, and a short figure walked out.

"Tang San!"

"Lu Yuan!"

The moment they saw each other, both cried out in surprise.

"You know each other?" the burly man asked curiously.

"We're both students at Notting College, and we're in the same class," Tang San explained.

"What a coincidence." The burly man smiled as well.

"Lu Yuan, did you come to the blacksmith shop to have something made?" Tang San asked.

"Mm." Lu Yuan nodded. "My spear broke, so I came to have a new one forged. But my requirements for the spear are rather high, and this uncle said that only you here can make it."

"Here's the blueprint!" The burly man handed the design to Tang San.

Tang San took the blueprint and studied it carefully. "It can be forged, but it'll take some effort. It will take at least a week to finish. And if it's forged using the metals required by the blueprint, it will weigh at least three hundred jin. Can you use something that heavy?"

To wield a three-hundred-jin spear freely, one needed at least ten times that much strength. Although Lu Yuan was quite strong, whether he could handle such a heavy spear was indeed a question.

"I can." Lu Yuan nodded. Without using his Martial Soul, he already possessed two thousand jin of strength. With his Martial Soul summoned, that rose to three thousand jin. If he used his first soul skill, it would double again, directly exceeding five thousand jin. He could still wield a three-hundred-jin heavy spear.

"Is that so? Then leave it to me!" Tang San said with a smile, patting his chest. This spear used high-quality materials, and once forged, its power would far surpass that of ordinary weapons. Tang San was quite interested in such a weapon.

"Does this spear have a name? We can engrave it while forging it!" Tang San asked.

"Call it the World-Shocking Spear—the Imperial Dragon World-Shocking Spear," Lu Yuan said.

"The Imperial Dragon World-Shocking Spear suits your Martial Soul perfectly!" Tang San approved of the name Lu Yuan had chosen. The Imperial Dragon World-Shocking Spear and his Golden Dragon Spirit complemented each other well.

Complemented each other? The weapon best suited to the Golden Dragon should be the Golden Dragon Spear. What a pity! Lu Yuan sighed inwardly. The Golden Dragon Spear was the standard weapon for the Golden Dragon Spirit, but his Golden Dragon Spirit had appeared for no apparent reason, and he had no idea where to find the Golden Dragon Spear. He could only forge a spear to make do for now.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Little San. Uncle, let's settle the deposit."
