Chapter 374: Chapter 290: Rapid Development (4)

[Name] Steel Two-Handed Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Saber

[Mass] Standard

[Durability] 800

[Attack] 76

[Destruction] 30

[Effect] Range +50%, Attack +50%, Attack Speed +5%, Accuracy +5%

Similarly, its various Attributes were also double those of the Iron Phoenix Cry Saber.

Its Attack was 76, eight points higher than the Steel Spear.

After all, it was a Two-Handed Saber; its Attack Power was higher than a spear of the same Level.

However, its actual power also had to account for the 50% Attack Bonus.

That brought its final Attack to 114.

With that level of Attack Power, it could take down an unarmored Ordinary person in a single strike, no problem at all.

Against an armored opponent, the 30 points of Destructive Power would come into play.

A single slash would inflict 144 points of Durability Damage.

It could practically slice through Leather Armor in one go, without even using a Combat Skill.

A worthy Two-Handed Saber indeed!

A worthy Steel Saber!

Seeing this, Zhao Chi couldn’t help but be impressed.

’The power of superior materials is truly overwhelming.’

’Like Gu Qing’s Spider Lady Silk.’

’Or this steel material.’

’Unfortunately, the technology for steel materials is quite advanced.’

’If I wanted to develop it myself, I’d first have to unlock the Refined Iron technology.’

’The Self-Selected Material Treasure Chest only contains ores, not semi-finished products like this.’

’For now, I can only buy it to craft a few pieces of Equipment here and there.’

’No matter. I’ll take it slow.’

’First, I just need to satisfy the Equipment needs of my three Female Heroes.’

’Still, Qi Yue can equip three of these powerful Weapons.’

’With her three arms attacking simultaneously, she could inflict 432 points of Durability Damage in a single round.’

’That’s enough to break an Iron Shield in one hit and shatter Iron Armor in two.’

’If she used Continuous Dance and landed nine strikes in an instant... the Iron Shield, the Iron Armor, and the enemy would all be hacked to pieces.’

’Who could possibly stop her?’

’Never mind a Hero of a Lord of the same Level; even a Lord’s Hero one Level higher probably couldn’t stop her, right?’

’Who would have thought that such a seemingly delicate and frail young woman could be this powerful?’

Phew...

Zhao Chi disengaged from Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan was in a great Mood. "Huh? We haven’t even used up all 15 Speeding Charms. Why did you leave, my Lord?"

"The goal has been met. I’ll distribute these Weapons to you all first. These two Steel Spears are for you."

"Both of these Steel Spears are for me?"

"That’s right. Take those Gunmen and charge. With these Steel Spears, you’ll be able to break right into the center of the enemy’s formation."

Tang Ruan stroked the Steel Spears in delight.

"Do you like them?"

"Mhm, of course I do."

CLANG CLANG CLANG!!

The hammering in the Blacksmith’s Shop suddenly grew louder.

The Blacksmiths were using the sound of their hammers to cover up their laughter.

Zhao Chi sighed. "Tang Ruan, you’re all happy again. You start to let yourself go whenever you get excited. Why don’t you go rest for a bit? I’ll take these over to Qi Yue and the others."

Tang Ruan touched her forehead.

"It’s fine, I’m not dizzy yet. My Lord, can you carry all that? Let me help you, okay?"

Eight Two-Handed Steel Sabers and one Steel Shield were extremely heavy. Of course Zhao Chi couldn’t move them.

Not even with six points of Power.

"Alright, let’s go."

On the training grounds, the Female Soldiers were focused on their training.

Gu Qing had converted all 80 new villagers who had arrived in the last four days into Militia.

Ten were assigned Guns, and seventy were assigned sabers.

The total troop count had reached 180.

After another 20 people arrived tomorrow, they would have 200 Soldiers.

Gu Qing had set up a training plan for them, and all the Female Soldiers were training with all their might, sweat flying like rain.

"KILL!"

Waves of battle cries echoed.

Although they were all the young voices of women, they were filled with fighting spirit.

They had all coiled their long, black hair atop their heads, looking like a troupe of dancers.

Stray locks of hair clung to their fair cheeks.

Sweat trickled down their pale necks and onto their chests.

Zhao Chi suddenly found a unique sort of beauty in them.

Qi Yue was sparring with Gu Qing.

Currently, the only ones who could spar with Qi Yue were Gu Qing and Tang Ruan.

Gu Qing’s hands spun out an endless stream of Silk Threads, while Qi Yue simultaneously slashed with three sabers.

Although the Spider Silk was very sticky, and Qi Yue could only sever it, she couldn’t stop it from sticking to her.

Her Attack Speed and Movement Speed dropped noticeably.

However, Qi Yue’s Attributes were excellent; her seven points of Power allowed her to forcibly tear through the Spider Silk.

Her eight points of agility also let her maintain a considerable speed.

And she hadn’t even used her Moon Blade Slash yet.

Gu Qing was strong, too, but it was still very difficult for her to completely restrain Qi Yue.

After a short while, Gu Qing waved her hands repeatedly. "No, no, let’s take a break. I can’t block you anymore."

Wiping away her sweat, Qi Yue said, "That’s not true. Sister Gu Qing, you’re a doctor, yet your Combat Power is this high."

Gu Qing laughed. "Hurry up and rest. I’ll help you get the Spider Silk off."

Tang Ruan set down her weapons and ran over. "I’ll help you guys, too."

"Oh, Tang Ruan, you’re here? Perfect, you can spar with Qi Yue. You two are a good match for each other; I’m really not suited for it."

Tugging the Silk Threads from Qi Yue’s body, Tang Ruan said, "Sure! I’ll fight Qi Yue after the Lord is finished. We all have new Weapons now."

Qi Yue was also pulling at the threads with her four arms, working quickly. "Huh? The sheen on those weapons... Are they all made of steel?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right. Qi Yue, you get six sabers all to yourself—three for combat and three as backups."

Gu Qing saw the number at a glance. "Does that mean there’s also one Steel Shield and two Steel Phoenix Cry Sabers for me?"

"Correct," Zhao Chi nodded.

"Mine are Steel Spears," Tang Ruan announced, though no one had asked.

Gu Qing smiled. "Excellent. Steel Weapons have great Attributes. Our Combat Power will increase even more."

Zhao Chi nodded. "But even though you can wield Two-Handed Weapons with a single hand, will it be a hindrance in battle? Especially you, Qi Yue—your three arms won’t get in each other’s way, will they?"

Qi Yue gently shook her head. "They won’t. At first, I did have to be mindful of the weapons’ length, but I’ve adjusted now. It’s no problem at all."

Gu Qing said, "This Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Saber really lives up to the ’Cheng Ying’ name. Its Damage can extend beyond the blade itself. An unprepared enemy would definitely be caught off guard."
