The Second Choice

"Your Body Refinement is complete, and your pulse is like a dragon! In addition, you cultivate using the Flowing Silver Shirt Robe, constantly having to overcome Flowing Silver Shirt binding force, so your strength is quite impressive."

Yan Menglong stroked his chin and nodded repeatedly, "I've given you such a good bow, so don't disappoint me. With this bow, you'll have a guarantee whether you go out for trials or make a name for yourself in the future!"

"Thank you, General!"

Yi Yun sincerely thanked him. He knew that he had already demonstrated enough talent, which was why Yan Menglong was so dedicated to nurturing him.

With the Great Cang Bow on his back, Yi Yun also took out his quiver.

This is the Chasing Wind Arrows, specially designed for use with the Great Cang Bow. It has a blade made of cold iron and a fletching made of feathers from a ferocious bird with the bloodline of Ancient Remnant Species. Such an arrow will not deflect even in the opponent's energy storm, making it a top-quality arrow!

Such expensive arrows shouldn't be wasted. A skilled archer can attach a wisp of their vital energy to the shaft and draw it back later.

With the bow and arrows chosen, it's time for melee weapons!

Yi Yun looked through the entire Heavenly Capital Armory, selecting and touching each weapon one by one.

This time, Yan Menglong remained silent, letting Yi Yun choose for herself.

Yi Yun took his time, spending a full hour before finally stopping in front of a large rock.

On this large rock stands a knife!

Although it's called a knife, it actually looks more like a spear.

This knife has a blade that is six feet long and a handle that is one foot and two inches long, totaling seven feet and two inches, which is equivalent to the height of an adult male, making him taller than Yi Yun.

The blade of the long sword has silver-gray patterns, like cracks in ice on a lake in winter, which is very beautiful.

The longsword has an exaggeratedly long blade, but it is only two inches wide, with a very slight curve. Combined with its extraordinary length, the longsword is almost straight, giving it the feel of a sword.

It resembles both a knife and a sword!

It can be made into both knives and guns!

The exaggerated style of this knife is somewhat similar to the Tang Saber and Miao sword that Yi Yun had seen before. The word "Miao" in Miao sword does not refer to an ethnic group, but rather to the fact that the blade of the Miao sword is narrow and long, and its shape is somewhat like a rice seedling.

Of course, whether it's a Miao sword, Tang Saber, or a samurai sword, they are all shorter than the long sword that Yi Yun saw.

The longer the blade, the greater its power when slashing.

The narrower the blade, the faster it can move!

Taking both points into account, a good knife used by a skilled knife master should ideally be both narrow and long!

However, the longer and narrower the blade, the easier it is to break! It might be cut by the opponent's weapon, broken by vital energy, or even broken by bones.

Tang Saber and samurai swords are already quite long, but we didn't dare make them that long, for fear of them breaking in battle.

In this other world, the master swordsmiths have taken the narrow and elongated shape to its extreme!

This is because they have absolute confidence in the knives they forge!

This is a genuine horse-slaying sword. It is named "horse-slaying" because its blade is long enough to cleave a horse in two with a single stroke.

The sword Yi Yun chose could easily cleave his opponent and horse in two from head to toe with a single vertical slash!

"That's it!"

Yi Yun gripped the hilt with both hands and drew the long sword!

"Buzz--"

As the blade detached from the boulder, it emitted a soft metallic hum, like a dragon breaking free of its restraints, letting out a long, drawn-out roar, followed by a chilling aura.

"A fine knife!"

Yi Yun's eyes lit up, and he began to wield the longsword with the <Nine Heavens Profound Sword>!

Although it was a knife, it was actually similar to a sword, so it was naturally suitable for the <Nine Heavens Profound Sword>. In an instant, the blade gleamed, like a snowflake enveloping Yi Yun.

The gusts of wind from Yi Yun's blade even left tiny scratches on the walls and the ground.

"Alright, stop fooling around!" Yan Menglong snapped at Yi Yun, annoyed. "Thousand Army Saber! You've got sharp eyes, kid!"

This Thousand Army Saber was also crafted by a master. Although it is not as valuable as the Sky Vault Bow, it is definitely a first-class weapon in the Heavenly Capital Armory.

The Thousand Army Saber is forged from Ice Pattern Cold Iron, which has beautiful patterns that resemble cracked ice. These patterns are not original; they are the result of adding other iron essences during the Ice Pattern Cold Iron process and undergoing countless folds and hammerings.

This Ice Pattern Cold Iron has an innate coldness; a knife forged from it can freeze a pool of water in the summer if it is placed in it.

The weapon used to cut others is truly capable of cutting through iron like mud. Ordinary weapons are no match for it. Even the Wild Goose Wing Saber that Yi Yun used before would break after only a few blows against the Thousand Army Saber!

"Sky Vault Bow! Chasing Wind Arrows! Thousand Army Saber! You've hit the jackpot this time, kid!"

Yi Yun took the Sky Vault Bow and the Thousand Army Saber, which made Yan Menglong very distressed.

Compared to these two weapons, the two low-grade Savage Bone Relic are of much lower value.

"You brat, you're not even as tall as the sword, and you've already taken my Thousand Army Saber." Yan Menglong looked displeased. In fact, let alone Yi Yun, the Thousand Army Saber was not much shorter than Yan Menglong himself.

"Thank you for your generosity, General!"

Yi Yun said sincerely, knowing in his heart that although Yan Menglong said he was reluctant, both the Sky Vault Bow and the Thousand Army Saber were gifts that Yan Menglong intended to give to Yi Yun. In particular, the Sky Vault Bow was something that Yan Menglong had taken Yi Yun to choose.

"You've already chosen the weapon, Savage Bone Relic is fine too. Next... there's the fiefdom! Damn it, I'm really going all out today!"

Yan Menglong muttered under his breath, saying that after acknowledging Yi Yun, he became much more easygoing, unlike before when he seemed aloof and superior.

Yi Yun scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I only brought a few dozen followers with me to the Central Plains this time, and I don't need much land. A small fiefdom will suffice."

In the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, the monarch possesses an immense and vast land, which is divided into 108 states. The ruler of each state is Vassal Lords!

The Vassal Lords then distributed the land to generals and important ministers within their Vassal Lords states.

The general then divided the spoils among the commanders of a thousand households and the National Scholar.

Yi Yun was the lowest-ranking noble, and his fiefdom came from Yan Menglong.

Yan Menglong patted Yi Yun on the shoulder, "You kid, I've already given you the weapons. What's a fiefdom or two? It's much cheaper than weapons. Besides, if you become successful in the future, you'll probably have to pack up and leave Tiandu. At that time, this fiefdom will still be back in my hands."

"So, I'll give you a good fiefdom, so you can show off your power in front of your clansmen and your sister!"

Yan Menglong paid close attention to Yi Yun, knowing that Yi Yun had an extremely close relationship with his sister Jiang Xiaorou.

He immediately took out a map made of animal hide from his Space Ring and marked out Yi Yun's fiefdom... (To be continued~^~)
