Soul Tool? Painting Halberd Demon Eye—the Horror of a 100% Strength Boost!

Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng, whose face had suddenly filled with surprise, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this weapon?"

Dai Chengfeng's expression was grave. He slowly shook his head and did not answer right away.

"What exactly is going on with this weapon? It can actually devour my Soul Power?"

"A Soul Tool?"

Dai Chengfeng was not sure.

The feeling this Fangtian Huaji gave him really was very much like a Soul Tool.

However, he had never come into contact with offensive Soul Tools before. The Soul Tools he had seen were all storage-type, such as his and Zhu Fan's Soul Tool Rings, or something like Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges...

Support and offense were ultimately somewhat different.

So for a moment, Dai Chengfeng could not tell either.

"And!"

"This is Douluo Continent, not Sun Moon Continent."

"Other than a divine-artifact-level Soul Tool like the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it seems no offensive Soul Tools have ever appeared on Douluo Continent, right?"

For a time, Dai Chengfeng's heart was full of doubts.

"If it really is a Soul Tool, then what level would it be?"

He pondered for a long while.

Dai Chengfeng looked again at the Fangtian Huaji in his hand, which seemed utterly ordinary yet was anything but. He took a deep breath. "I'd like to see just what kind of unexpected surprise you can give me!"

Dai Chengfeng raised his hand and once again poured Soul Power into the Fangtian Huaji.

And as Dai Chengfeng continuously infused it with Soul Power, a blood-red "line" slowly spread upward from the end of the halberd shaft.

It was not until that blood line reached the junction between the Fangtian Huaji's shaft and blade that—

Suddenly.

A blood-red rune resembling an eye began to gradually emerge, growing clear.

The halberd blade, originally battered and worn-out, covered in the marks of time, was now actually giving off a chilling cold that made one's skin crawl.

A strange feeling even welled up in Dai Chengfeng's heart...

Hunger!

This weapon was incomparably hungry!

It was absurd.

After all, it was only a weapon. How could it feel hunger?

But that was the truth!

This weapon was like a "Taotie" that had been starving for ages, greedily craving Dai Chengfeng's Soul Power and devouring it madly.

Until almost all the Soul Power in Dai Chengfeng's body had been consumed...

That blood-colored rune eye finally opened slowly.

Buzz—!

At that moment, the entire Fangtian Huaji suddenly trembled violently, as though something had been activated.

Immediately afterward, a surging force poured into Dai Chengfeng's body like a tide.

"This is..."

Dai Chengfeng stared at the Fangtian Huaji in his hand, his eyes full of shock.

He could clearly feel his muscles suddenly tightening, as if scorching hot "magma" were surging through his blood vessels...

"My strength has actually been amplified? And by about one hundred percent!!!"

Dai Chengfeng stared at the Fangtian Huaji in his hand in shock. "This is only an incomplete weapon. If it were whole..."

Dai Chengfeng simply did not dare imagine it.

At that time, just how terrifying and powerful would this weapon be?

"This weapon can't be smelted. It's hiding too many secrets I completely don't understand."

"If I rashly smelt it, I might destroy this rare treasure."

While Dai Chengfeng was thinking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the back courtyard.

The blacksmith who had earlier said he was going to the back courtyard to ask his master had already returned to the front hall.

Looking at Dai Chengfeng, he said with a faintly apologetic expression, "My lord, I'm truly sorry."

"I've already confirmed it with my master. Those just now were already the heaviest ones. Our blacksmith shop truly doesn't have any long spears that can meet your requirements."

"Also, my master asked me to tell you..."

"Guest, you may not really understand spear techniques."

"A weapon like the spear has always followed the path of technique and offensive power."

"A spear that's too heavy will become unwieldy instead. That completely defeats the essence of a spear."

"If you truly want a heavier weapon and intend to follow the path of strength, then I'd recommend buying a hammer instead. It would suit you better."

When Dai Chengfeng heard that, the corners of his mouth curved slightly. "I don't understand spear techniques?"

"A spear can only rely on technique and aggression?"

"The path of strength is completely inferior to a hammer?"

At that moment, Dai Chengfeng's right wrist shifted slightly, and the Fangtian Huaji in his hand suddenly spun at high speed, the movement smooth and graceful.

"In the past, hammers were the symbol of strength. But from now on, that will no longer be the case!"

Dai Chengfeng's voice was filled with confidence. "All under heaven will know that those who wield spears can also...

"Pull up mountains with strength and overshadow the world with might!"

As his words fell, Dai Chengfeng abruptly swung the halberd out at the air.

Boom—!

This seemingly simple strike seemed to carry Qian Jun's worth of power, bringing with it a fierce, unstoppable, unmatched momentum as it blasted the air apart.

Even though the halberd in Dai Chengfeng's hand clearly had not struck the ground, the earth split open and rapidly spread outward, the crack extending several meters, shocking to behold.

The wall of the Blacksmith Shop opposite him was blasted to pieces by the compressed air, leaving only a few broken remnants behind.

"This is... a one-hundred-percent strength amplification?" Dai Chengfeng looked at the scene, his eyes filled with surprise and excitement. "Terrifying indeed!"

In the past, Dai Chengfeng had also been able to shatter walls and crack the earth with a single strike, but that had required him to use Soul Power, or even to exert force together with his Martial Soul.

But just now—

Dai Chengfeng had not used Soul Power at all. He had relied entirely on his own muscular strength!

The blacksmith opposite him looked at the astonishing destructive power of Dai Chengfeng's strike, his eyes widening as he subconsciously swallowed.

"Master often practices with a spear too, and it's said his Martial Soul is also a spear named Po-something, but Master's spear techniques are always strange and ever-changing, dazzling to the eye..."

"So spear techniques... can actually be this domineering?!"

Zhu Fan looked at the stunned blacksmith, chuckled, and patted him on the shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"Now you know who it was that didn't understand spear techniques, right?"

"I... I know."

The blacksmith nodded subconsciously, his eyes still filled with shock.

"Where did this weapon come from?"

By then, Dai Chengfeng had already put the halberd away again. He looked at the blacksmith once more and spoke calmly.

Chengfeng wanted to see whether he could use this to glimpse the true origins of this Fangtian Huaji.

Hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, the blacksmith finally came back to his senses from his shock and looked at Dai Chengfeng respectfully. "Reporting to my lord, I'm not too clear on the specific origins of this weapon either."

"Three days ago, a fisherman brought this weapon to the Small Shop and wanted to sell it."

"According to him, he happened to haul it up in his fishing net while fishing at sea."

"The sea?"

Dai Chengfeng frowned slightly, somewhat disappointed.

After all, if it had been fished up from the sea, then the origins of this weapon had endless possibilities and would be impossible to trace.

Perhaps some former expert had held it while dying in a river, and the weapon had then been washed into the sea. Or perhaps it had come from a power like Sea God Island, which was already located in the ocean to begin with. It might even have come from the Sun Moon Empire, that land which had yet to connect with this continent...

"So be it!"

Since there was no way to trace it back to its source, Dai Chengfeng no longer dwelled on it.

He looked at Zhu Fan. "Uncle, settle the payment for this Fangtian Huaji, along with the cost of repairing this wall."

After saying that, he turned directly and walked toward the hotel.

At that moment, he was urgently eager to study just how many unknown secrets this weapon still held!
