"Greetings, Elder Han."

Lu Changsheng stepped forward half a pace and cupped his hands in salute to the old man holding the coral scepter. His figure stood straight as a pine. Though the spiritual power around him had yet to fully settle after the fierce battle just now, his every movement carried an unhurried composure.

He held the Sea God Halberd planted at his side in a reverse grip, its blade slanting toward the seabed. Dim blue watery light flowed quietly along the veins of the halberd shaft, like a deep-sea behemoth that had just finished napping—lazy, yet still dangerous.

Lu Changsheng spoke in a clear voice, especially distinct amid the surging currents. "This halberd is called the Sea God Halberd. I obtained it by chance in the North Divine Domain in my early years. This halberd has already chosen its master of its own accord, and has followed me through battle for several years. In that time, who knows how much blood of demons and devils it has drunk, or how many bodies of powerful foes it has broken? Its will and mine are linked, and it has long since ceased to be some ordinary external object."

As he spoke, he gripped the halberd shaft with one hand and gave his wrist a light shake.

Buzz—

The Sea God Halberd let out a low, lingering tremor. The sound was like an ancient whale song, yet also like deep-sea undercurrents echoing, carrying an indescribable spirituality and closeness. The ancient oceanic runes on the halberd shaft lit up one by one, and azure radiance rippled outward in layers like water waves, illuminating Lu Changsheng as though he had been draped in a suit of blue battle armor.

"This halberd is nine feet and three inches long, and weighs thirty-six thousand jin."
