Chapter 504: Chapter 0499: Demon Flood Dragon Sword

No Demon Academy, after Chen Yu returned, he immediately went to the crucial area for Artifact Refining.

“Looks like you’ve gathered the materials?”

Master Shen saw Chen Yu and guessed the outcome.

In fact, the list of materials he had given Chen Yu was very precious and hard to find.

He had thought that it would take Chen Yu a long time to gather them, but Chen Yu returned much faster than expected.

“Master Shen, please have a look.”

Chen Yu waved his hand, taking out all three kinds of ore materials from the Smoke-Spitting Pearl.

The first was the Black Light Stone bought in the Royal City of Tianhe Prefecture, and the second and third were the Demon Plate Stone and Seven Star Ore found in the ruins.

“Not bad, the quantities are sufficient. With these, there’s about an eighty to ninety percent chance of successfully refining a top-grade low-quality Spiritual Artifact for you.”

Master Shen nodded.

In Artifact Refining, an eighty to ninety percent chance was already very high.

Moreover, an Artifact Refiner usually wouldn’t claim a hundred percent chance of success since accidents are inevitable; it’s wise to leave oneself some leeway.

“Master, take a look at these two ores too.”

Chen Yu thought of the two stones he had obtained from the Evil Yin Tower.

With Chen Yu’s experience, he couldn’t identify them, but knowing they were collected by the Evil Yin Ancestor, they must be extraordinary.

Therefore, Chen Yu decided to show them to Master Shen to see if they could be integrated into the Spiritual Artifact he was forging.

After speaking, Chen Yu took out a piece of silver-gray jade and a rough black stone.

Master Shen initially didn’t pay much attention, but upon seeing the two stones, his eyes widened considerably, and a hint of excitement shone through.

“These are ‘Silver Crystal Jade’ and ‘Flame Demon Stone’. Where did you get them?”

The usually calm and serene Master Shen was a little excited.

“Are these two things very precious?”

Chen Yu asked.

“Of course, these two ores are legendary rare ores, used as materials for refining medium-grade Spiritual Artifacts.”

Master Shen glanced at Chen Yu and didn’t hide the truth, speaking frankly.

Medium-grade Spiritual Artifacts were usually in the hands of those at the later stages of the Guiyuan Realm or even stronger.

If people knew that someone in the early Guiyuan Realm had the materials to refine a medium-grade Spiritual Artifact, it would definitely cause a frenzied scramble by those in the later stages of the Guiyuan Realm.

“It seems that the Evil Yin Ancestor collected those ores with the intention of forging another powerful medium-grade Spiritual Artifact. Unfortunately, he died before he could refine it.”

Chen Yu felt this in his heart.

At the same time, he was somewhat expectant, wondering if these two ores could be integrated into the Spiritual Artifact he was forging.

“Hehe, I must say, you’re a lucky lad. Silver Crystal Jade is an excellent material for forging heavy weapons, accommodating most materials, fusing them to strengthen the weapon’s toughness; while the Flame Demon Stone has a certain chance of granting the Spiritual Artifact one potent ability.”

Master Shen chuckled softly.

Chen Yu was overjoyed but also a bit regretful that he had not managed to acquire the third stone.

“I haven’t forged a medium-grade Spiritual Artifact for a while now.”

Master Shen also appeared eager to try.

As an Artifact Refining Master, he obviously preferred to forge higher-quality artifacts.

One, to hone his skills.

Two, to build his reputation. An Artifact Refiner needed a reputation to craft powerful and high-quality weapons.

But people wouldn’t entrust such precious materials to an unknown refiner, so a seasoned Artifact Refining Master was very rare.

“Then I’ll trouble Master Shen.”

Chen Yu voiced his compliment.

Master Shen didn’t reply and started designing the refining plan.

Three days later, Master Shen came up with three forging plans, from which Chen Yu chose one.

The next step was to start refining the artifact.

During this time, Chen Yu used Demon Pattern True Essence to aid the Artifact Refining, shortening the refining time.

Moreover, this would make the Spiritual Artifact easier to refine in the future.

A month passed.

Hum!

From the Artifact Refining room came a deep and violent sword cry, which startled many refiners outside, who were secretly amazed that Master Shen had forged another remarkable masterpiece.

“Done!”

Master Gu took out a broadsword three and a half feet long.

The broadsword was pitch-black, with fine inscriptions on its body, and occasionally shimmering with a strange dark silvery brilliance, making it look mysteriously extraordinary.

The sides were rough, with many black spikes making it look fearsome.

Buzz, buzz!

In Master Gu’s hands, the sword trembled slightly, releasing bursts of unruly demonic power, as if trying to break free from Master Shen’s control.

But when Chen Yu took hold of it, the sword quieted down a bit and, after a moment, lay quietly in his hands.

“Spiritual Artifacts choose their master. As a Demon Cultivator, having assisted in the forging with True Essence for a month, this Spiritual Artifact is more closely aligned with you,” Master Shen said with a smile.

Spiritual Artifacts value spiritual nature, and the sentient nature of this artifact he forged was very unusual.

“Master Shen, what grade has this sword achieved?”

Chen Yu inquired.

“Medium-grade Spiritual Artifact. Unfortunately, it was just short of another step forward, to the refined medium-grade level. If you get more rare ores in the future, you can bring them to me for further refinement.”

Master Shen sighed slightly.

Although Silver Crystal Jade and Flame Demon Stone are materials for refining medium-grade artifacts, they are not the main materials; otherwise, this artifact’s quality could reach the refined grade.

“What’s the special ability?”

Chen Yu asked eagerly, as Master Shen hadn’t finished everything in one go, making him ask.

The special ability of a Spiritual Artifact, to some extent, also determined the artifact’s strength and value.

For example, if a defensive artifact had “sharp” or “armor-piercing” abilities, it would be a joke.

“The power from the Flame Demon Stone has completely fused into this sword, so its special ability is ‘Explosive’.”

Master Shen smiled satisfactorily.

As a heavy weapon, and given Chen Yu’s proficiency in close combat, this particular feature could be considered top-tier.

“Thank you, Master.”

Chen Yu was very satisfied and subsequently took out a hundred thousand Primordial Stones, presenting them to the other party.

Compared to a satisfactory mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, a hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Stones was a small price to pay. Moreover, Artifact Refining was extremely draining on the spirit, so Chen Yu should have given some form of compensation.

Master Shen did not decline; a hundred thousand Primordial Stones was a considerable amount for him.

“I shall take my leave now.”

After bidding farewell to Master Shen.

“Hold on, you haven’t named this sword yet.”

Master Shen stopped Chen Yu.

If he were to say that he was the one who refined this sword in the future, but he didn’t even know its name, who would believe him?

“This sword… shall be called ‘Demon Flood Dragon Sword’.”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu came up with an extremely domineering name.

The sword was of demonic attribute, fierce in appearance, and had integrated sixty-eight teeth of the Red-eyed Jiao; hence, Chen Yu chose this name.

“‘Demon Flood Dragon Sword,’ not bad.”

Master Shen nodded, feeling that Chen Yu’s ability to name a sword was quite acceptable.

Following that, Chen Yu left the place to head to Earth Demon Pavilion.

With a new Spiritual Artifact in hand, Chen Yu decided to choose a powerful sword technique. The previously practiced “Shocking Evil Sword Technique,” while being a decent Killing Sword Technique, was somewhat useless for Chen Yu, who cultivated the demonic path.

After some selection, Chen Yu took an interest in a sword technique known as the “Devil Wind Sword Technique.”

This technique required a total of three hundred thousand No Demon Points. Chen Yu used up all his No Demon Points and topped it up with eighty thousand Primordial Stones to finally acquire the technique.

The “Devil Wind Sword Technique” was known for its ferocity. The attacks were broad and swift, brutal, and focused on the momentum of the sword. Against weaker opponents, a mere condensation of this momentum could scare them away.

Once this swordsmanship was cultivated to the Great Achievement Realm, it could unleash a “Demon Wind Sword Domain” inflicting devastating strikes on enemies within that domain.

“It’s very suitable for the ‘Demon Flood Dragon Sword’.”

Chen Yu was quite satisfied with this sword technique.

Afterward, he went to the training tower and rented a training chamber.

It took two days for Chen Yu to successfully refine the “Demon Flood Dragon Sword,” and then he began practicing the sword technique.

The “Devil Wind Sword Technique” emphasized momentum, which could continuously increase once it formed, making the sword unstoppable.

Chen Yu wasn’t a Sword Dao genius and struggled to comprehend the momentum for a long time.

Therefore, he decided to forsake the normal training approach and started to practice the sword directly, in hopes of grasping the momentum through the movements.

Boom!

Chen Yu infused the sword with Demon Pattern True Essence, and a fierce thrust shot forth.

Upon the “Demon Flood Dragon Sword,” the Demonic Qi roiled and surged, blasting forward and then suddenly exploding into a cloud of demonic mist after traveling a certain distance.

This demonstrated its explosive nature; the attacks had an explosive effect and greater destructive power.

Fortunately, the “Devil Wind Sword Technique” was also known for its powerful offensive capabilities, making the two highly compatible.

“Madness Demon Slash.”

“Sky Flying Sword Slash.”

…

During the practice, Chen Yu kept trying to grasp the momentum of the sword.

Three days later.

Compared to when he started, Chen Yu’s attacks were now incredibly fierce and smooth, executed in one breath, with a stunning aura around, forming an intangible pressure.

Chen Yu’s body seemed to have an instinct, seamlessly integrating all external movements perfectly.

Gradually.

Chen Yu practiced more smoothly, as the “Demon Flood Dragon Sword” danced around, with piercing shrieks and thunderous explosions echoing around him.

After a while, Chen Yu finally stopped, feeling extremely exhilarated.

In the following days, Chen Yu continued to practice sword techniques while cultivating his Cultivation Method.

A month later, Chen Yu had grasped the momentum, and the sword technique was at its initial completion.

…

Four months later.

The Talent Tea Party had already spread throughout Yun Zhao Country, with many members already setting off toward Yunyang Holy Mansion on Liuhe Mountain.

Chen Yu in the academy, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He continued to practice swordsmanship and Cultivation Technique, improving his own strength.

Several days later, as Chen Yu walked out of the training tower, he saw a fair and beautiful girl, his junior sister apprentice Yu Bu Yu.

“Brother, it’s time to gather. Let’s go to Liuhe Mountain together to attend the Talent Tea Party.”

Yu Bu Yu didn’t interact with Chen Yu much and was not very familiar in conversation.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Chen Yu walked over and left with Yu Bu Yu.

On the Central Square, a group of twenty or thirty people had already gathered.

Among these people, each had an extraordinary temperament, most of them with a hint of pride.

They were all among those who had made it into the top fifty of the academy’s competition and could be regarded as talents of Yun Zhao Country, naturally proud.

Among them, Chen Yu saw several familiar faces, including Kong Zhong, Jin Zhuo Peak, Yuan Chen, Shang Han, and others.

As for the participants from the previous and current sessions, Chen Yu did not recognize any.

“Chen Yu has arrived.”

Many people whispered among themselves, while those who knew Chen Yu approached with a smile.

“Brother Chen, where have you been these past few years?”

Jin Zhuo Peak, not much for talking, opened the conversation.

“I’ve been attending to some matters.”

Chen Yu replied vaguely.

Just then, the crowd parted to make way, and a man dressed in a black robe with a square face and small eyes walked through, looking calmly at Chen Yu.

“So this is Chen Yu? I am ‘Cao Xingyue’ from No Demon Academy, the leader of the previous session’s competition.”

The square-faced man introduced himself proactively.
