However, Matsuura Shinkuro's katana had been stolen, so he had to use a backup katana. Bai Xiaowen wasn't sure if this would affect his score. He didn't want to think too much about it, so he just drew a card.
Although Li Shuyi had contributed to the killing of Matsuura Shinkuro, Bai Xiaowen was his teammate, so he had no problem drawing cards.
Only Li Shuyi could pick up and distribute the spoils of war that were drawn. However, Li Shuyi could also distribute the bound equipment to Bai Xiaowen. The two of them were in the same permanent team, so they could exchange the bound equipment they hadn't used yet. This was one of the benefits of being in a permanent team.
Bai Xiaowen drew the mysterious dagger from the first Golden Card.

[Durability: Indestructible]
[Description: The Kusanagi Sword of Raeda Shrine is one of the three divine weapons worshipped by Japan. It is also the head of the three legendary swords.]
Li Shuyi tried to touch the dagger, but she received a notification that she couldn't equip it because she hadn't been recognized by the Cluster Cloud Sword.
Li Shuyi assigned the dagger to Bai Xiaowen. However, there was no notification that she couldn't equip it. This meant that Bai Xiaowen had been recognized by the Cluster Cloud Sword.
"That's strange. You're a summoner who specializes in Spirit. Why would you be recognized by this weapon?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief. "This should have something to do with the Kusanagi sword soul in my body."
"After obtaining the soul of the Kusanagi sword, I went to look up some information about the Kusanagi sword," Bai Xiaowen said. "There's still some time before Qi Jiguang summons the rest of the pirates, so I'll talk about some of the legends of the Kusanagi sword first."
"In the Japanese Mythological Era, there were three spiritual swords. They were called the Ten Grip Sword, the Cluster Cloud Sword, and the Futsu Mitama Sword."
"Speaking of the origin of the Cluster Cloud Sword, Susanoo, the son of the God of Heaven, obtained it after slaying Yamata no Orochi. Legend has it that when Susanoo was traveling the human world, he saw an old man crying and saying that his daughter had been sacrificed to a serpent, so he comforted the old man and helped him kill the serpent. Susanoo used good wine to make Yamata no Orochi drunk, and then cut its body with the Ten Grip Sword. But when he cut the snake's tail, he found something sharp, and even the Ten Grip Sword of the gods had a gap. "
"The thing that damaged the Ten-grip Sword is a sharp sword. Because it was taken out from Yamata no Orochi's body, and Yamata no Orochi's body was so huge that its head reached into the clouds, the sword was called the Cluster Cloud Sword. The word 'heaven' in the Kusanagi sword is a respectful name for it. "
"After that, Susanoo gave the Kusanagi sword to his sister, Amaterasu Omikami. Amaterasu gave the sword and the other two Divine Artifacts to the Emperor of Japan, and warned him to worship the three Divine Artifacts as her incarnation. "
Bai Xiaowen paused for a moment, and then smiled. "The three Divine Artifacts … sounds familiar, right? That's right, the King of Fighters' world was also fought by the three Divine Artifacts against Orichi. The three Divine Artifacts are the Yata no Kagami, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the Kusanagi Sword. "
Li Shuyi reacted. "The Kusanagi Sword is the Kusanagi Sword?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
"You've obtained the mysterious short sword that injured Yu Dayou: the Kusanagi Sword."
"Special Side Quest: Sword Search completed."
"Yu Dayou's favorability towards you will increase greatly, and his favorability level will increase to: Good Friend."
"Yu Dayou's favorability towards you will increase greatly, and his favorability level will increase to: Best Friend."
Bai Xiaowen understood that the reward for this special side quest was probably Yu Dayou's favorability towards him. Thinking about it, it made sense. When Bai Xiaowen went out to sea, his banner was to avenge Yu Dayou. How could Yu Dayou be indifferent to this kind of loyalty?
Zhang Ting and the other captains, as well as the 200 soldiers under Hu Zongxian, were handed over to Qi Jiguang. They were considered to have returned to the military system of the Anti-Japanese Army. Bai Xiaowen did not have to worry about their safety. Next, they would return to Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou, and tell them that Matsuura Shinkuro had been killed.
Yu Dayou's favorability towards Bai Xiaowen was enough to make him a close friend.
This was also a reward, but the chances of being matched to the Jiajing dimension in the future might be lower. Bai Xiaowen did not really care about the reward. To him, the Clustered Cloud Sword was the best reward.
The Spiritual Realm's rules prompted him. "Detected that the Kusanagi Sword (Form I) in your body has resonated with the Clustered Cloud Sword."
"You can choose to devour the Clustered Cloud Sword and strengthen the Kusanagi Sword (Form I). You can also choose not to devour it and keep the special equipment, the Clustered Cloud Sword. "
"Of course, I'll choose to devour it."
Bai Xiaowen had read the description of the Clustered Cloud Sword. Other than its shockingly low attack power, the Clustered Cloud Sword's selling point was its two major skills.
The first skill, Weaken, was useful. Its attack had a weakening effect. However, this sword could only be used by Bai Xiaowen. Li Shuyi could not use it. With Bai Xiaowen's attack speed and fighting style … it was not suitable for him.
The second skill, Sacrifice, seemed very domineering. It had a death sentence and was invincible. However, there were two restrictions. The target enemy's level and template could not be higher than Bai Xiaowen. Only then would the Sacrifice skill take effect.
It looked perfect, but it felt bony.
First of all, this sword was useless against Lord-class monsters because their template was too high. Secondly, this sword was useless against bosses whose level was higher than Bai Xiaowen's. In the Spiritual Realm, Bai Xiaowen had been matched with bosses whose levels were all higher than his!
As for bosses of the same level or lower than Bai Xiaowen … Why would Bai Xiaowen waste his lifespan and activate Sacrifice? He would be able to defeat the other party in a direct fight.
In short, the Clustered Cloud Sword was a piece of equipment that could be used to defeat weak opponents. It was not a piece of equipment that could turn the tables.
After Bai Xiaowen chose to devour it, the Clustered Cloud Sword's crimson light flashed. Then, it turned into a stream of light and poured into Bai Xiaowen's body.
Bai Xiaowen felt a warm current. Then, he noticed that the words "Kusanagi Sword (Form I)" in the skill bar had turned gray. It showed that it was devouring to level up.
