As Lian Chen stepped into the armory, his eyes widened at the sight before him. The vast room was filled with a myriad of weapons, each one gleaming and attracting Lian Chen's attention.
Lian Chen carefully walked along the aisles, his eyes inspecting each and every weapon that was laying proudly atop of the walls.
Before Lian Chen had entered the armory, he had long ago had already decided that he would want a sword to be his comrade. Lian Chen was captivated by the elegance and swift movements that were associated with a sword.
However, picking a weapon is not an easy choice, as every sword that Lian Chen touched, he feels that it is either too dull or the sword does not have a right feeling with him.
Despite his initial inclination towards a sword, Lian Chen couldn't find one that resonated with him. Disappointed, Lian Chen continued his search, hoping to discover a weapon that would truly fit him.
"Sigh… It has already been an hour, but all the swords here just don't feel right.." After walking for about an hour, Lian Chen squatted down in the middle of the armory, grumbling that the weapon here did not fit him.
"Should I just exit the armory, and ask for another reward?" Just as Lian Chen was about to give up and ask Gong Xuanyan for another reward, his attention was abruptly drawn to a particular section of the wall within the armory.
Walking closer, Lian Chen saw that a magnificent spear was standing proudly, its shaft shimmering in a mesmerizing shade of blue, resembling the scale of a mythical serpent.
Lian Chen's gaze fixed upon the inscription atop the weapon, reading "Azure Serpent Spear." The name of the spear instantly captivated his interest.
Having a recollection of the warrior in black armor wielding a spear during his encounter in the jade stone, Lian Chen's curiosity overwhelmed him.
With eager anticipation, he extended his arms to assess how well the Azure Serpent Spear would align with his grip.
As Lian Chen made contact with the spear, the spear immediately electrified itself, rejecting Lian Chen touch.
Lian Chen staggering a few steps back, his gaze fixed on to the Azure Serpent Spear. The moment he had grasped the spear, a flood of sensation overwhelmed him.
It was as if the spear had a connection with him, the weight and balance felt perfect, as if the spear had been custom-made for him.
"Looks like I have a stubborn weapon right here…" Lian Chen decided that no matter what, today this Azure Serpent Spear will be his.
While Lian Chen was in the armory, what he didn't know was that his victory over Liang Tao had spread to even the Huo's mansion.
"Dad… Let's get my elder brother to kill Lian Chen… Before he comes for me!" Huo Tianlu frantically said, afraid that Lian Chen would only get stronger day by day.
* BAM *
"Shut up you scum!" Huo Jingming slammed the table and angrily said: "If only you didn't incur Lian Chen's wrath, would this have happened?!"
Huo Tianlu was taken aback as Huo Jingming abruptly slammed the table in frustration: "But… But…"
"No but's!" Huo Jingming angrily retorted and looked towards the house attendant: "Send a letter to the Buddha Benevolent Sect, and tell them it is for Huo Xuanfu return."
Hearing that his elder brother is about to return, Huo Tianlu regained his composure and said: "With elder brother, we will not have to fear Lian Chen anymore!"
