Chapter 351: Weapon Selection - 351
Back in the cosmic sect, Zhou Fan and the two children stood inside of the same building that they were melted out of their ice blocks in.
"You two only recently reached the Qi gathering realm, so you won't be able to do anything very cool just yet, but once you reach the foundation establishment realm, I'll be able to show you a couple of cool things." Zhou Fan said.
"First, you two will practice a basic technique. Once you enter the foundation establishment realm, the practice from training this technique will help you with the next technique." Zhou Fan explained.
The two children listened quietly and seriously paid attention.
"You will go first, Lu Zhong." Zhou Fan said as he gestured for the boy to come over.
Zhou Fan created a sphere of dragon Qi in his hands and showed it to Lu Zhong.
"Imitate that." Zhou Fan said.
Lu Zhong struggled for a few minutes as he had never interacted much with Qi, but he soon managed to form the sphere.
"Now, try to move it around. You don't have a lot of Qi, but you should be able to make it rotate around your hands for a few minutes." Zhou Fan said.
While Lu Zhong attempted to do that, Zhou Fan gestured for Feng Liu to come over. He taught her that same thing, but with Ice Qi.
Zhou Fan walked to one of the pillars holding up the ceiling and sat down against it.
"Come over when you've managed to rotate it around your hands for 5 minutes." Zhou Fan said.
After speaking, he fell into a light sleep.
A few minutes later, Zhou Fan was awoken from an ice sphere to the skull.
He looked at the girl who was holding in her laugh and shook his head.
Zhou Fan stood up and stretched before speaking.
"I can't really teach you two anything else for now when it comes to Qi, but why don't we visit a weapon storage. You two will pick your own weapons, unless you don't want to use one." Zhou Fan said.
He remembered when he used a sword, but weapons had quickly lost any meaning to him.
Zhou Fan had spoken to Ying Xiong and gotten a very short explanation about the cosmic sect. There were the houses on the outer ring, teaching buildings, a weapon storage, and a few other places that barely had any use for now.
The weapon storage was made with weapons that Tong and Ying Xiong had made in their spare time, but each one was incredibly powerful, beautifully designed, and masterfully crafted.
There were tens of thousands of weapons in the weapon storage. All of them were far too powerful for the children, so Zhou Fan just planned on allowing them to see the weapons.
Zhou Fan entered one of the few walled buildings in the entire cosmic sect. Although it was merely a weapon storage, it seemed more luxurious than an emperor's bedroom.
Longer weapons such as swords, spears, and poles were put up on the buildings walls, while smaller weapons such as needles, daggers, and small swords were put on top of pedestals.
The moment that the children entered the storage area, they were filled with awe. The weapons put on display only amounted to about a thousand. They were the better ones among the weapons, but there were still tens of thousands of weapons piled up in a back room.
After all, even if Tong and Ying Xiong each made a weapon every million years, 8.1 billion years had passed since Zhou Fan had last seen them. That would amount to 16,200 weapons.
Of course, that was just an example, they surely made more than a single weapon in a million years.
An uncountable amount of weapons had likely been discarded due to them not being up to standard.
As they ran around the storage area, the differences between the two could be seen.
Feng Liu seem to carefully look at every single weapon, while Lu Zhong ran to the flashiest weapon in the room and vowed to make it his.
Zhou Fan made his way over to Lu Zhong while Feng Liu was picking her weapon.
"Here, uncle Zhou Fan!" Lu Zhong shouted as he pointed at a weapon just out of his reach.
It was a golden spear with dragon scales etched into the staff part. The head of the spear was made with a dark black material. The spear was at the 8th rank, or the lesser dao creation realm, and was one of the most powerful weapons in the room.
"That one is no good, take this." Zhou Fan said as he created a spear in a few seconds.
The spear was exactly the same as the one on the wall in terms of appearance, but was only at the 1st rank, or the Qi gathering realm.
"This is a growth weapon. It will get stronger with you as your cultivation realm increases. It won't be hard for it to surpass the one on the wall in the future, and it is much more suitable for you." Zhou Fan said.
Lu Zhong nodded in excitement and held the spear. Zhou Fan secretly took a drop of his blood and put it on the spear, causing the spear to glow and Lu Zhong to feel a connection with the spear.
It wasn't on the same level as Jack's connection, in which he could find his weapon anywhere, but it would still be much more useful in battle, and mastering it would be easier.
Lu Zhong looked funny holding the large spear despite being short, but with the connection he felt, it didn't feel awkward to him at all.
As he was holding in his laugh, Zhou Fan heard Feng Liu announce that she had chosen her weapon.
Zhou Fan and Lu Zhong walked over and saw her pointing at an ice blue fan. She had tried to pick it up, but it did not budge.
Like Lu Zhong's spear, it was at the 8th rank, or the lesser dao creation realm.
Chapter 352: Incredible Talent - 352
Zhou Fan repeated his actions and created a fan for Feng Liu that looked exactly like the one on the wall. He then explained what a growth weapon was and how it worked.
Before long, Zhou Fan and the children went back to the same building with the pillars. When they arrived, they saw Ying Xiong and Tong, now back to their normal appearances.
"This is all I can teach you right now. Now, go to Ying Xiong and Tong and cultivate more." Zhou Fan said as he patted the children's backs.
Unwillingly, they went back to Tong and Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong ignored their reactions and brought them away once again to begin another session of cultivation. Zhou Fan expected that they would be in the foundation establishment realm the next time he saw them.
Zhou Fan went back to his mountain and entered his courtyard. As he was walking back to his fishing spot, he sensed something and reached out with his hand.
As he pulled back, a ten year old child was held by the arm. When the child saw Zhou Fan, he kicked at him and twisted his body skillfully to escape, but his strength accomplished nothing.
Zhou Fan flung the child to the ground, and the child soon stood up at him, looking at him with cold eyes.
"Who are you?" The child asked with caution, and what seemed to be a bit of arrogance.
Zhou Fan ignored him and asked a question of his own.
"What's your name?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Don't have one, now answer my question." The child said, acting threatening.
Zhou Fan had experience dealing with this type of person, so with a backhand, the child crashed into one of the courtyard walls.
Of course, everything except for the child was unharmed. The child rubbed his wrist, it was broken.
Still, despite having a broken bone, the child did not appear to be in pain.
"Tell me about who you are and where you are from." Zhou Fan said.
The child, no longer daring to act arrogant, nodded his head unwillingly and sat down.
"I was born as a part of an assassination organization. There, one only gets a name after killing someone. I've spent the last 3 years honing basic techniques, and only began to cultivate a little more than a month ago. My teacher, the leader of the assassination organization, said that my talent was unparalleled throughout the universe." The child slowly explained.
"He was right. It was as if you were born to be an assassin." Zhou Fan agreed.
The child silently watched with wariness and coldness.
"With your talent, staying in an assassination organization with a leader only at the space shattering realm would be a waste of your talent. Join the cosmic sect." Zhou Fan said, leaving no room for negotiation.
He would not usually act in such a way to a child, but the child had essentially 0 emotions, and no hint of childishness was anywhere around him.
Although he said that a person in his organization only got a name when killing someone, that was not technically correct. After all, it was clear that the child had killed more than 1 person before.
It was more accurate to say that one only got a name after completing a mission. Although the child's eyes were filled with wariness and coldness, he actually did not mind the situation.
For someone to grab him in front of his master, they had to be incredibly powerful. Coincidentally, he had been talking with his master right as Zhou Fan grabbed him.
Joining such a person's sect was something that he was not necessarily opposed to. Although the assassination organization had already trained the emotions out of him, they had not had time to brainwash him into loyalty.
"Are you one of those lesser dao creation realm cultivators?" The child asked Zhou Fan.
"You're thinking too small. Have you heard of Ying Xiong?" Zhou Fan asked.
"That legend? I've heard the same thing as everyone else. Unparalleled, unmatched, and so on." The child responded.
"I could kill him with a thought." Zhou Fan said.
The child did not fully believe him, but he did not really care either. Even someone at the lesser dao creation realm would be enough for him.
"Pick a name for yourself. Quickly." Zhou Fan said.
The child thought for a moment before responding with the first thing that entered his mind. He did not care about a name.
"Hei Ren." He said.
Zhou Fan nodded. He reached behind his back and pulled out a dagger.
"This is a growth weapon. It suits you. Put a drop of blood on it." Zhou Fan said.
The child nodded and poked his finger with the dagger. It was soon his.
"You will be my personal disciple for the foreseeable future." Zhou Fan said.
He was only a half teacher to the other two children, but Hei Ren was more in line with Zhou Fan's personality, and not to mention, mature.
The child nodded.
Zhou Fan canceled his fishing plans and began to instruct the child.
"Firstly, you should know exactly what you are. Your affinities are Darkness Qi, Clear Qi, Shadow Qi, and incredibly, Black hole Qi." Zhou Fan explained. "Your meridians are at the immortal god 10 rank, 2nd in the universe if you don't include me."
The child nodded. He had received more information in a few seconds than he ever had from his master, or his old master.
His old master only noticed his affinity to Darkness Qi and Shadow Qi, but he could not even tell the rank of his meridians.
"You also have a divine physique. It will help you on your assassination path. Along with all of that, you have an emperor rank dagger talent. Consider me completely impressed. I will thoroughly train you until your fellow cosmic sect members come here again." Zhou Fan said.
Seeing that Zhou Fan had stopped speaking, the child spoke.
"Master, what exactly is the cosmic sect?" He asked. He had never heard anything about a cosmic sect, but his master was clearly extremely powerful.
"A sect founded by Ying Xiong. I came to visit recently." Zhou Fan shortly introduced.
"You'll see more of it later, but that will be after we train."
