Chapter Thirty-Six: Magic Light Sword

  "In the end, it's still not a win." Lin Wu shrugged his shoulders. The great swordsman's strength was fundamentally at no advantage to Lin Wu, and the great swordsman also possessed attribute Dou Qi, with an intensity that far surpassed Lin Wu's.

  "Haha, you're already quite good! You're only 15 years old and have reached this level, your future achievements will be extraordinary." Wu Bo said with a smile.

  "By the way, this time Alice owes you a debt of gratitude. Our family will not be stingy towards those who have made contributions. If there's anything you need, just say it." Wu Bo said, revealing the purpose of his visit.

  "Oh." Upon hearing this, Lin Wu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately thought that it must be the competition with the young master of the Tulip family that had been found out by his uncle.

  Lin Wu thought of the 4th-grade water-elemental magic core he had obtained, and now all he needed was a 500-year-old Heartgrass. He asked, "Uncle Wu, do you happen to have any 500-year-old Heartgrass?"

  "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Wu Bo asked, taken aback.

  "No, a friend of mine is injured and needs this Heart Grass for treatment." Lin Wu hastily said.

  "No problem, I'll have someone bring it to you right away. However, this Heart's Desire Grass must be refined by an alchemist before it can be used." Wu Bo nodded and said.

  "Hmm, I know an alchemist, it should be fine." Lin Wu thought of that greedy old man.

  "That's good, if it doesn't work out, come find me." Wu Bo patted Lin Wu's shoulder and then left.

  Before long, a maid brought over the Heart Grass and Lin Wu hastily took it and rushed to the old man's shop.

  Hahaha!!!

  As soon as he arrived at the old man's store, he heard the old man's excited laughter.

  "Has this old man gone mad?" Lin Wu was somewhat perplexed.

  "Ah, young one, you've arrived! Come on in, come on in. Today, I'll let you see my magnificent masterpiece." The old man exclaimed as he saw Lin Wu rush into the store with him.

  Then the old man took out a sword handle and handed it to Lin Wu, saying: "How about this? This is indeed my masterpiece after decades of research."

  "A sword hilt?" Lin Wu was taken aback, and then his mind lit up, shouting loudly: "Lightsaber? Old man, is this a lightsaber?"

  "Light Sword?" The old man was taken aback and then clapped his hands, shouting, "Right, right, Light Sword! This name is great. From now on, it'll be called Light Sword!"

  "How is this used?" Lin Wu held the hilt of the sword up and down, sizing it up uncertainly.

  "Heh heh, this one hasn't been energized yet, of course it can't be used." The old man said, taking out a 4th-level fire-elemental magic core and opening the cover on the back of the hilt to insert it.

  The old man then handed the hilt of the sword to Lin Wu Dao: "Come try it out, just follow what's on top."

  Lin Wu pressed a small button on the hilt of his sword, and with a "whoosh", a fiery red light shot out from the hilt, forming a two-finger-wide, 1.5-meter-long flame blade that was completely condensed from fire elements.

  With a light swing, flames shot out in all directions, and the scorching feeling rushed towards him. Lin Wu stabbed fiercely at the armor beside him, instantly piercing a hole through the thick armor, and even the surrounding area had a feeling of being melted by the flames.

  "Awesome!!" Lin Wu exclaimed.

  Whoever gets this sword, even the great swordsmen can be defeated in one battle. Lin Wu is confident that with this sword and his skills, he can have a 50% chance of winning against the great swordsmen.

  "Huh?" Lin Wu suddenly realized that the flame sword blade in his hand was becoming unstable, and then the flame sword blade suddenly went out and disappeared.

  Just as Lin Wu was stunned, the old man's angry roar also came, "You stinky brat, you actually ruined my magic armor worth over 10,000 gold coins, you...you...!"

  "Slow!!" Lin Wu didn't have the mood to talk about magic armor with the old man now, this light sword was what Lin Wu cared most about.

  "Old man, what's wrong with this sword? Is it broken?" Lin Wu hastily asked.

  Upon hearing Lin Wu's words, the old man temporarily forgot about the destruction of the magic armor and said, "What's broken? This is just a case of depleted energy."

  "What? Old man, you put in a 4th-level fire elemental core, and it's already used up just like that?" Lin Wu's eyes widened, that was a 4th-level elemental core!

  Upon hearing Lin Wu's words, the old man let out a soft sigh and said: "What can be done about it? This light sword is still an elementary product, many key issues have not been resolved."

  When it comes to his masterpiece, the old man begins to talk endlessly. "This light sword has a big problem, first of all, the stability of the primary energy source. The energy of the magic core is strong but unstable, so many energies are wasted in vain, and only a small part can be converted into the blade. Second, it's the shape, the size and shape of the magic core are different from each other, while the capacity of the hilt is limited, too big or too small won't do, this also makes the energy source more scarce."

  The old man said with a hint of discontent, his painstakingly researched work had so many flaws.

  "Then can't you use the magic crystal?" Lin Wudao said.

  Magic Crystal and Magic Core are both crystalline bodies containing elemental energy, one comes from magical creatures and the other comes from minerals.

  "No, the energy impurities in the magic crystal are too many, it can't be used at all. If there is a uniform shape, pure and stable energy source, that would be great." The old man said, shaking his head, as if to say that such a good thing does not exist in this world.

  Lin Wu's heart moved when he heard the old man's words. The crystal blocks he had decomposed using his decomposition machine were quite consistent with the requirements, uniform in shape, and only square in shape, without any other shapes. The energy was pure, which wasn't a problem either. All the items decomposed by the decomposition machine had their energies separated from impurities. As for stability, Lin Wu wasn't too clear about it, but it shouldn't be a big issue either. After all, being able to shape the energy into a square block meant that the energy should be quite stable; otherwise, it would have exploded already.

  Lin Wu took out a few crystal blocks and placed them one by one on the table beside the old man.

  "Alright, young man, don't try to weasel out of this. You've ruined my magic armor, and now it's time to settle the account." The old man said with a scowl, his eyes fixed fiercely on Lin Wu.

  "Huh?" The old man also saw the crystal blocks on the table, with their square shapes, crystal clear appearance, and several of them flashing in various colors.

  As an alchemist's intuition, the old man felt that this thing was a major discovery. He reached out and picked up a red crystal block. The old man took up his tools and began to study it.

  Lin Wu saw this, but didn't stop him. He also wanted to know what the crystal block was used for. Taking advantage of the old man's research time, Lin Wu began to study the objects arranged by the old man.

  Before long, the old man's roar sounded, "Wonderful! There is actually such a divine object in the world. With this thing, I will definitely be able to create an extraordinary masterpiece, hahaha!!"

  "Cough cough, old man, I haven't said I'd give it to you yet." Lin Wu's words instantly made the old man stiffen.
