The Object of the Warning
An artifact even the Sword Participation Institute's predecessors had coveted?
As expected, technological progress was the primary productive force. The moment the groundbreaking research proposal was submitted, an exceptional reward followed.
Though clearly, in Liu Shuang's eyes, this reward was still far too much.
Fu Qian examined the Sword in the Stone, which had been pulled out with ease.
As expected, it formed a striking contrast with the scabbard outside. The slender blade was just as exquisite and ornate, without a trace of rust.
And Fu Qian could easily sense the extraordinary quality emanating from it—or perhaps one could call it divinity.
From that perspective, the origins of that story and its tale of a divine trial seemed somewhat grounded in reality.
Fu Qian even believed that, compared with the Weaver's Limb Tip he'd received earlier, even if he really ripped off Akasha's entire claw and turned it into a longsword, its lethality couldn't compare with this one.
It was no exaggeration to call it a minor divine artifact. No wonder the Sword Participation Institute had coveted it for so long.
All in all, as long as Ji Liushuang wasn't afraid of the side effects, this long-and-short weapon combination was enough to give her astonishing killing power.
Though that probably wasn't the main reason she considered it so valuable.
"Chief Yuan and the others know very well that I'm currently in charge of the Gospel Group."
Sure enough, Ji Liushuang continued.
"Giving me this item as a reward will surprise the others at the Sword Participation Institute. I believe it'll also make more people start thinking about things."
"Understandable. On the one hand, it's the Sword of the King. On the other, those who forget justice and mercy will meet an untimely end."
