Golden Glowing Club!

Inventory. An item shimmering with golden light lay quietly there, but its specifics were obscured by the intense radiance.

Upon seeing the golden glow, Xiao Lang's face lit up with surprise. He knew that in any game, anything emitting golden light was no ordinary item.

With great anticipation, Xiao Lang clicked to view the item's description.

Golden Glowing Club (Reinforceable): A special weapon for clubs, a sack, a clubbing, ten thousand taels of gold.

Hardness: One star (Dou Disciple to Dou Master).

Stun Duration: Thirty minutes for opponents of the same level or lower; ten minutes for opponents one level higher; one minute for opponents two levels higher.

Stun Chance: 100% for opponents of the same level or lower; 50% for opponents one level higher; 1% for opponents two levels higher.

"This is a rip-off!"

After seeing the description of his exclusive weapon, Xiao Lang immediately threw it on the ground.

What a joke, a Golden Glowing Club!

Who did they think they were fooling?

"System, who are you insulting here? I, Xiao Lang, am destined to become a man who will be the Water Emperor! How could my exclusive weapon be a club?"

Xiao Lang grumbled, "Never mind the Chaos Bell or the Pangu Axe, couldn't you at least give me the Four Immortal Slaying Swords? What use is this broken wooden stick?"

"Although I did many things like this when I was young, that was because I was ignorant. Now that I'm an adult, why would I do something like clubbing people?"

System: "It is recommended to finish reading the effects before complaining."

Hearing the system's words, Xiao Lang glanced at the detailed effects below the description.

Effects: 100% chance to stun opponents of the same or lower cultivation level, with a stun duration of thirty minutes. The success rate decreases by 30% for opponents one level higher, and the stun duration is reduced by ten minutes, with a minimum stun time of one minute. It can stun opponents up to three levels above the user.

"Holy crap! This is practically a custom-made weapon for me!"

After reading the description, Xiao Lang's long-dormant desire to wield a club reignited.

He knew it was time to pursue his dream of becoming the King of Bandits!

Robbing homes... Pfft! Robbing the rich to help the poor is the path of a righteous thief!

"System, if I use a Dou Venerate Pill, will the effects of this Golden Glowing Club be enhanced?" Xiao Lang immediately asked.

"Of course."

"Mwah mwah mwah mwah!"

Upon receiving the system's affirmation, Xiao Lang felt like kissing the system.

Because with a Dou Venerate Pill, he could potentially stun those in the Dou Venerate peak, one to ten rotations, Half-Saint, and Dou Saint realms!

Even if it was only for a minute against a Dou Saint, a minute was enough to accomplish many things.

In his previous life, he had a roommate...

Ahem.

"By the way, System, if I use the God-Tier Disguise Technique to disguise myself as a Dou God, will this Golden Glowing Club be fooled?" Xiao Lang's imagination ran wild.

"..."

The system was speechless. What kind of host had it found?

Truly a genius.

"No, this is the strength you can exert. If you were to use a Dou Venerate Pill, you would then have the strength of a Dou Venerate."

The system patiently explained. It had chosen its host, and it would support them to the end.

"Alright, I understand."

Xiao Lang nodded, completely unashamed. After all, the system hadn't said anything about it, so he hadn't asked.

Playing with the Golden Glowing Club in his hand, Xiao Lang found that its weight and feel were perfectly tailored for him, as if it were custom-made.

"Right, System, does 'reinforceable' mean I can use enhancement pills to strengthen it?" Xiao Lang remembered the words "reinforceable" after the Golden Glowing Club.

"Yes," the system nodded. "First-grade Enhancement Pills can reinforce the hardness, stun duration, and stun chance of the Golden Glowing Club!"

"This is great! Doesn't that mean the higher my reinforcement level, the infinitely I can increase the stun chance and duration?"

Xiao Lang's eyes gleamed green. However, upon seeing the word "hardness," he asked warily, "System, what's the deal with reinforcing hardness?"

System: "It means exactly what it says. As one's cultivation realm increases, their bones become stronger. Your club might break."

"..."

Xiao Lang's mouth twitched. He felt like cursing.

It could actually break?

Wasn't this clearly a trap to waste his enhancement pills?

Didn't they say that anything produced by the system must be top-quality?

No wonder the hardness was only one star. He almost thought it referred to his own hardness. He was terrified.

However, for now, being able to stun a Dou Grandmaster was pretty good. Besides, if he could successfully trick Old Yao later, he could use enhancement pills.

"I really wish someone would give me a good whack." Xiao Lang swung the club in his hand, saying with a hint of excitement.

It was the same principle as wanting to find someone to fight after getting a divine artifact from a gear drop.

Putting away his club, Xiao Lang entered the room. After locking the door, Xiao Yan first placed the ring into his system space, which would block Old Yao's soul perception.

Only then did he use the God-Tier Disguise Technique to mask his aura as a Dou Saint. Once he felt it was perfect, he took out the ring where Old Yao resided.

"This... this is a Dou Saint!?"

Upon sensing the aura Xiao Lang had disguised himself with, Old Yao, who was originally weak and semi-conscious, was instantly startled. He looked at the old man outside the ring with utter horror.

At the same time, he prayed inwardly that the other party wouldn't discover him.

"Come out."

But fate had other plans. Xiao Lang looked directly at the ring and spoke slowly. His bright eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitude, a look that clearly came from experiencing too much and seeing too much.

"..."

Old Yao remained silent. He didn't know if the other party was testing him or trying to trick him.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I just want to confirm a few things," Xiao Lang couldn't help but say. His deep and resonant voice carried an imposing aura of a powerful expert, one that commanded respect without needing to show anger.

Even Xiao Yan or Xiao Xun'er would not have recognized the old man before them as Xiao Lang. This was the power of the God-Tier Disguise Technique.

Although it had no offensive capabilities, even a Dou God wouldn't be able to see through it!

"Senior, are you looking for me?"

Once he was sure the other party had indeed detected his presence, Old Yao knew he couldn't hide any longer. He revealed himself and asked respectfully, "Are you looking for me?"

"Who else would I be looking for? Why are you hiding in my disciple's younger brother's ring?" Xiao Lang swept his gaze over Old Yao, his eyes showing no fluctuation as he appraised him. "Are you also an alchemist?"

"..."

Old Yao's eyes flashed with surprise. If the other party could sense he was an alchemist even with his soul so weak, then surely...

"That's right, I am also an alchemist." Xiao Lang nodded, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his lips. Immediately, the immense soul power of a Nine-star Alchemy Grandmaster briefly emanated from him.

Of course, this was only due to the God-Tier Disguise Technique and had no real offensive power; it was just enough to intimidate someone.

"A Ninth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster?"

Old Yao's expression changed, his eyes narrowing. When did another Ninth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster appear on the continent?
