Ranked List Engraving Knife: Soul Devouring Evil Blade—Please Bookmark, Recommend, Vote, and Tip

Ju Zi pulled out a short list from her Storage Soul Tool, stuck out her tongue, and said, "This is the list of students my mentor, Xuan Ziwen, selected. When I saw your name and dorm number, I came looking for you. To be honest, before knocking, I wasn't sure whether it was really you. I was nervous too."

Qin Fang glanced at it, surprise flickering across his lips. "Ju Zi? When did you take Xuan Ziwen as your mentor?"

A trace of pride appeared on Ju Zi's face. "I came first in the Affiliated Elementary Academy Soul Engineer final exam and was directly admitted to Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy. Mentor Xuan Ziwen has a sharp eye. He spotted my Talent at once and accepted me as his disciple."

For some reason, Ju Zi always felt comfortable around Qin Fang. Without realizing it, she opened her heart to him.

Qin Fang could not help praising her. "As expected of Senior Ju Zi. You're amazing."

Ju Zi paused for a second, then looked at Qin Fang again. "Qin Fang, I came here with a task this time. Mentor Xuan Ziwen asked me to get your opinion too. Would you be willing to join his tutelage?"

Qin Fang waved his hand in refusal. "No, Senior Ju Zi. I already have a mentor. But if I get the chance, I'll definitely pay Mentor Xuan Ziwen a visit."

Ju Zi was somewhat disappointed. She had thought they would be able to study together for a while.

Qin Fang noticed Ju Zi's disappointment. He took out the Silver Pistol he had forged from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to her. "Ju Zi, my teacher gave me guidance on this. Take it for protection."

The moment Ju Zi took it, she sensed that this Soul Tool was far from ordinary. However, it would not have been appropriate to dismantle and study it in front of Qin Fang, so she could only say, "Thank you, Qin Fang."

Ju Zi put away the Silver Pistol and smiled. "Qin Fang, the school is very lively tonight. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Qin Fang was intrigued and followed Ju Zi.

As soon as Ju Zi and Qin Fang left the dormitory, she explained, "Qin Fang, every year when new students enroll, the older students are about to leave. To commemorate the years they spent here, the Student Council organizes a large Trade Fair."

"As long as they are students of the academy, they can participate. Even some families and factions from outside the academy come to take part in this Trade Fair."

"Teacher Xuan told me there are quite a few interesting things at this Trade Fair. He told us to take a look. We might find something worthwhile."

As they spoke, dazzling multicolored lights flared across the open space of the Training Field, shooting into the sky and making the heavens seem bright. Deafening drums thundered, stirring everyone's blood.

Ju Zi grabbed Qin Fang's arm and hurried forward a few steps.

Outside the enormous Training Field of Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy, the crowd had already packed the area so tightly that not even water could pass through. People were crammed together as far as the eye could see, all hoping to slip inside.

Ju Zi and Qin Fang struggled their way to the front. She took out two tickets from her Storage Soul Tool, and only then were they allowed in.

The inside of the Training Field was much less crowded. The older students had set up their stalls in an orderly fashion, selling the things they had accumulated over the years.

There were second- and third-grade Soul Tools, books filled with dense writing, worn stockings, and Meditation Notes.

"Don't miss out as you pass by! This is a blanket a senior sister used. Only three Gold Soul Coins each!"

"A damaged Soul Tool from an ancient ruin, extremely valuable for reference. If I weren't leaving, I wouldn't bear to sell it. One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Graduation projects for sale! Third-grade Soul Tool Design Blueprints plus finished products, only five thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

Qin Fang was dazzled by the sight, especially the senior sisters'... underwear.

Ju Zi viciously pinched Qin Fang, and only then did he shift his gaze away.

Honestly, there were no truly precious items on these seniors' stalls. Perhaps the most precious things were the beautiful memories formed from their years of hard work and sweat.

Ju Zi was not particularly interested either, so she pulled Qin Fang onward.

Strictly speaking, this could be called the Second Exhibition Area. It was almost entirely sponsored by major organizations such as Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Auction House.

The value of the items here had clearly risen by an entire level.

For example, within the Sun Moon Auction House exhibition area, a 50,000-Year Soul Bone gleamed beneath the lights, radiating a rich green luster.

Soul Bones were incomparably precious. Countless Soul Masters dreamed of obtaining one.

A Titled Douluo stood guard beside this Soul Bone, demonstrating the Sun Moon Auction House's deep foundation.

Aside from the Soul Bone, the Sun Moon Auction House exhibition area held many more exhibits, every one of them irresistible.

Then there was Mingde Hall, whose exhibition area might have been the largest.

From fifth-grade Soul Tools to eighth-grade Soul Tools, they had everything. In each grade area, there were at least nine different types of melee, long-range, and Fixed Soul Tools on display.

Ten scantily dressed female sales attendants were enthusiastically pitching their goods to passing students and Soul Masters. From time to time, they would twist an ankle and lean against a handsome passerby, putting their frailty on full display.

"Senior, you look so mighty. This seventh-grade Fixed Soul Cannon suits you perfectly."

"Senior, look at how imposing you are. This Melee Soul Tool is absolutely perfect for you. You can try it out, and if it doesn't suit you, just put it back."

"Big brother, please support your little sister's business."

These voices seemed to carry endless magic, drawing male Soul Masters over in droves, practically drooling.

Besides these two exhibition areas, other areas were also surrounded by plenty of Soul Masters.

Ju Zi and Qin Fang stared wide-eyed. These items were more than worth the price of admission.

Just then, Electrolux's urgent voice rang out. "Kid, the engraving knife to the left of the Soul Bone. You must get it for me. As payment, I can grant you one request, as long as it isn't too excessive."

Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing quickened. Something that could make Electrolux so agitated? Could it be... Qin Fang's gaze fell upon it.

Beside the 50,000-Year Soul Bone lay an engraving knife that emitted a faint green glow. It exuded wave after wave of evil aura and was sealed by a special Soul Tool to prevent it from harming anyone.

Beside it was an introduction: Ranked List Engraving Knife, ranked ninety-ninth: Soul Devouring Evil Blade.

Logically speaking, Ranked List Engraving Knives were treasures every Soul Engineer pursued. A good engraving knife could greatly improve a Soul Engineer's skills.

Yet this engraving knife, ranked ninety-ninth, did not attract the attention of a single Soul Engineer. On the contrary, countless Soul Engineers kept far away from it.

When Ju Zi saw Qin Fang looking at the evil blade, she could not help whispering, "Qin Fang, you can't buy this engraving knife. It kills people. I heard Teacher mention that over the past three thousand years, the Soul Engineers who possessed this engraving knife all died violently within a year at most."

Qin Fang released Ju Zi's hand, stepped forward a few paces, and came before the Soul Devouring Evil Blade. Looking at its guard, he asked, "How many Gold Soul Coins for this engraving knife?"
