Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Bully Their Master

This was truly frustrating.

Why couldn't the system provide even a little free service?

No matter what he did or what he needed, it all required Admiration Value. Was that really okay?

Couldn't it show him just a little favoritism?

(System: Are you worthy?)

"If nothing else works, just carry it around every day. Maybe one day, you'll unravel its secrets? Or just take it apart! Whatever it does will become clear then! Besides, it didn't cost any gold. Even if you dismantle it, it won't hurt much!"

Since the system was useless, Su Mu had no other ideas.

Taking it apart was actually not a bad option.

Leaving it there was just irritating.

He had only wanted to pick up a bargain in the first place. Maybe taking it apart would finally put his mind at ease?

Su Mu had never thought this Broken Sword held much value anyway.

If he had not spent a bit of Admiration Value on it, he would have told his Little Disciple to dismantle it long ago.

Should she take it apart???

Xiao Yue found herself at a loss for words...

"I have two more ideas. How about dripping a drop of blood onto the sword? Or try touching it with your Soul Power?"

Seeing the reluctance in his Little Disciple's heart, Su Mu gave her a few more options.

Based on his experience reading novels, weren't most treasures recognized through Blood Drop Recognition?

Then there was opening them with Soul Power.

Anything beyond that would require special methods.

But if Su Mu knew any special methods, would he still be standing here overthinking things?

The moment Su Mu finished speaking, Xiao Yue somehow produced a dagger, looking as though she truly intended to slash her hand.

Su Mu instantly panicked.

"Disciple, I was just joking! There's no need to take it seriously!"

Artifact Refining in this Battle Through the Heavens world seemed rather underdeveloped. He had never even heard of Blood Drop Recognition here. He had merely tossed out the idea casually, so why had this silly girl actually taken it seriously?

Weren't girls usually afraid of pain? Why did this little girl seem afraid of nothing?

"Uncle, you don't need to say anything else. I want to try! If it really doesn't work, then I'll destroy this sword and give up on this completely!"

This...

Why had this little girl taken it seriously?...

Seeing the determined look in his Little Disciple's eyes, Su Mu did not know what else to say.

"Then be careful with the dagger. Just make a tiny cut on your finger and let one drop flow out."

Looking at her expression, Su Mu had the distinct feeling that she would simply slash her whole hand.

If she really did that, who knew whether it would affect her in the future?

Still, his disciple was probably not that foolish, right?

"Uncle, I suddenly realized I can't do it. How about you help me?"

She held the dagger in her hand, but when the blade touched her fingertip, Xiao Yue suddenly realized she could not bring herself to cut.

Hehe~

Su Mu, standing nearby, suddenly smiled.

This was how a normal girl should act.

Her little face was scrunched up in conflict, and she looked utterly adorable!

"Pfft~"

With a movement as fast as lightning, Su Mu gently flicked his hand, leaving a tiny cut on Xiao Yue's finger.

"Hiss~"

Xiao Yue drew in a sharp breath.

She truly had not expected Uncle to act immediately after she finished speaking.

He had moved so quickly that she had barely had time to react.

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and put your fingertip on the Broken Sword! Don't waste that blood!"

What was this silly girl looking at him for?

Su Mu knew that if they did not try this experiment, his Little Disciple would never give up. Since that was the case, it was better for him to do it himself.

If he moved quickly enough, perhaps his Little Disciple would suffer a little less.

He had truly worried himself sick over this disciple!!!

With Su Mu's reminder, Xiao Yue immediately snapped back to her senses.

The cut on her hand could not be for nothing, nor could the blood be wasted!

She hurriedly placed her hand on the Broken Sword she had bought.

A round, scorching drop of blood slowly fell from Xiao Yue's fingertip. The next moment, it landed on the Broken Sword and gradually spread across it.

Yet, nothing seemed to change?

"Girl, how about we forget it?"

Thinking about it now, Su Mu felt that what he had done earlier had been rather reckless. He had acted on whatever thought came to mind without considering anything else.

They said all ten fingers were connected to the heart. How could cutting his Little Disciple's finger not hurt?

Why had he acted without even thinking?

If they did not treat it soon and something else went wrong, what would they do?

"Uncle, it's fine! The blood has already been dripped. Waiting a little longer won't cost us much time!"

That was right, Xiao Yue still had not given up!

She believed Uncle's idea would work!

Awakening the Sword Body ### "Drip!"

Another faint sound of a droplet falling!

Several drops of blood gathered together, thoroughly soaking the entire Broken Sword. Countless fine crimson streams began flowing within it, slowly converging until they finally formed a transparent, blood-red crystal.

As the blood seeped in, the blood-red crystal became increasingly clear and luminous, containing a powerful force within.

Above the crystal, blood was still flowing, rippling in circle after circle!

What was happening?

At the moment the blood-red crystal formed, Su Mu sensed something.

The next second, a black figure instantly appeared in the room.

With a casual wave of his hand, countless strands of sword qi silently gathered around them.

He waved his hand again, and the countless strands of sword qi instantly formed a sword shield, tightly enclosing Xiao Yue and the Broken Sword within.

After that, the space around the two of them began to change.

A streak of bloody light emerged, spreading continuously in all directions before vanishing into Xiao Yue's brow the next moment.

Seeing this, Su Mu was not as worried as one might imagine.

Based on his guess, this was perhaps his disciple's fortuitous opportunity!

If that was the case, what was there to worry about?

It seemed this little girl's instincts had been right all along. Fortunately, she had persisted, or this opportunity might have been lost.

Good, good!!!

"System, what exactly is happening?"

Out of caution, Su Mu ultimately chose to ask the system, though he did not know whether it would answer.

"Congratulations, Host. The Goddess Physique has awakened!"

The system's response made Su Mu feel somewhat strange.

This little girl actually had a special physique?

No wonder she was called a Goddess!

Although special physiques were exceedingly rare in this world, they did exist.

For example, Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body, Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the bloodlines of the Imperial Clan—couldn't all of those be considered special physiques?

This little girl had one too?

It seemed that this little girl was about to rise completely in the future!

She would probably save him quite a bit of worry later on!

Su Mu was delighted.

He just wondered whether she could provide him with a little more Admiration Value?

While Su Mu was happily basking in the moment, Xiao Yue was suffering greatly.
