Hao Shuai looked at the sword in his hand, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
After inspecting it just now, he was certain that the sword in his hand really was the legendary Triton's Sword.
But for some unknown reason, Triton's Sword had become a half-broken relic, stripped of its legendary power.
