In this Imperial Capital, in this Royal Academy, there were ordinary prodigal sons and hedonistic sons everywhere. Having one more Ye Lang wouldn't make a difference, but having one less Ye Lang wouldn't make a difference either. They were not essential, and were also the most easily neglected.
Perhaps this situation was a bit miraculous. In the past, when the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan was an idiot, many people paid attention to him. Now that everyone knew that the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan wasn't an idiot, he became less and less popular. His fame and attention were plummeting.
Sigh, alright, let me be a "normal person" again!
Actually, the decline in his fame also had his own reasons. Perhaps it was because he was too ostentatious before, or perhaps it was because he was used to the life of a normal person in his previous life. His actions had always been very low-key, and he would only occasionally stand out, but that was quickly forgotten. After all, this was the Imperial City, where people gathered, and there would be things happening every day.
Of course, there was another reason, and that was that he didn't show off his talent, making people feel that his talent was very ordinary. Everyone knew that the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan had become smarter, but compared to before, his talent was still that of a normal person. Some people even had a strange feeling that this Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan wasn't as smart as before.
Yes, in some aspects, it was like that. In the past, the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan would answer some questions very strangely, but most of the time he would have his own unique insights. Now, when asked, his answers were correct, but he didn't have those unique insights.
The more it was like this, the less people paid attention to him. Moreover, everyone knew that he was a piece of trash without any talent. Even if he was tormented, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
For the people of this continent, strength was still the most important indicator, so they gradually forgot about Ye Lang, this "piece of trash" that was rarely seen in ten thousand years.
'Trash, Young Master isn't trash, it's just that he doesn't care to compete with you.' Every time she heard others talk about her Young Master, Hu Niu would always be very unhappy, and snorted inwardly.
In Hu Niu's heart, her Young Master was the best. Even when he was stupid in the past, he was still the best, not to mention now. If he was really trash, how could he guide her in martial arts, and even find a suitable set of martial arts and Battle Qi Arts for her?
After Hu Niu finished practicing her fist technique, she entered the weapon stage. She took out a long-handled weapon — the long-handled Mo Saber of the Four Weapons of the Tang Saber. The Mo Saber was an important war resource for the Tang Dynasty's army. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it was a military tool, and private manufacturing and possession was strictly prohibited. Its predecessor was the main infantry force of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu cavalry — the Imperial Guards' heavy infantry sword.
The Mo Sword was double-edged and its hilt was four feet long. It was equipped with heavy infantry and was an extremely lethal weapon. It was invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield. After the Tang Dynasty, there were very few traces of the Mo Sword in history. The reason was that the Mo Sword was too expensive and was a luxury. Without the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, there were probably not many dynasties that could afford such military expenses.
However, if it was just one, many people could make it. For a prodigal like Ye Lang, it was a piece of cake.
After designing, ordering materials, forging, and with a large amount of gold coins, a long-handled Mo Saber with exquisite materials and fine workmanship that could be passed down for hundreds of generations appeared.
Actually, this design was not Ye Lang's own. He had created it according to a book called the Weapons Manual in the martial arts world's treasure trove. In that Weapons Manual, other than the records of China's ancient weapons, there were also some very unpopular and unusual weapons. Among them, there was even the legendary Zhuge repeating crossbow, which could fire three crossbows of the Song Dynasty simultaneously. There were even records of firearms.
The value of this Weapons Manual was probably not much different from Ben's alchemy notes. However, this was only a memory in Ye Lang's mind, and he would not take it out to others.
As for why Ye Lang remembered this Weapons Manual, it was actually a common hobby of most boys. They liked to study weapons, whether it was cold weapons or modern weapons, they would study them.
Thus, when he discovered this Weapons Manual, it was as if he had obtained a precious treasure. He carefully read through it and studied it thoroughly.
Then again, it was not a coincidence that he chose this Mo Saber among the many weapons. After much consideration, he felt that this Mo Saber was the most suitable for Hu Niu. On the Mo Saber's design page, there was also a modified Yang Clan Spear Technique that was specifically targeted at the Mo Saber and could unleash the Mo Saber's full potential.
The Yang Clan Spear Technique was a summary of the battlefield, and all of them were the simplest and most direct moves. However, although the moves were simple, their power was not to be underestimated. Moreover, the simpler the move, the more flexible it was, and the more it could be developed into a move suitable for oneself.
When Hu Niu saw this Yang Clan Spear Technique that could no longer be considered a spear technique, her eyes became even brighter. It was very obvious that she liked this martial arts technique very much, and liked the Mo Saber that Ye Lang had customized for her even more.
Actually, there were some differences between this Mo Saber and the real Mo Saber of the Four Styles of Tang Saber. On the Weapons Manual, there were two versions of the Mo Saber. One was the original version, and the other was suitable for martial artists. It was modified so that it was more suitable for martial artists to use, and not specifically for the battlefield. After all, it came from a martial arts treasure trove.
There was also a very interesting mechanism in the middle of this modified version, but Ye Lang felt that this kind of mechanism was not suitable for this world's martial arts techniques. However, because he felt that it did not matter if there was one more, he kept it. In any case, he did not care about a bit more forging fees. Wouldn't this be a better way to squander?
However, he did not tell anyone else about this, including Hu Niu. It was not that he wanted to hide it from Hu Niu, but he felt that it was impossible for Hu Niu to use these mechanisms. Most importantly, he understood Hu Niu's personality, and knew that she would not use these mechanisms.
At that time, when Hu Niu asked what this Mo Saber was called, and what this martial arts technique was called, Ye Lang thought for a moment, then said, "This Mo Saber will be called Hu Niu's Blade, and the martial arts technique will still be called Yang Clan Spear Arts."
Just like what was said, Ye Lang did not want to take the achievements of his ancestors for himself, nor did he want to change the name. He wanted to respect them, just like the person who had modified the Yang Clan Spear Arts. Wasn't it the same? It was still called Yang Clan Spear Arts, just that a certain modified version was added at the end.
"… Young Master, can't you be a little more serious? How am I supposed to tell others about this name?" Hu Niu said in annoyance.
"That's not good, then … Tai Ya's Blade."
"… Alright, this is at least a little better." Hu Niu probably would not be able to change it to a better name. So be it, at least this name was passable.
In this continent, many things were named like this, using the name of their owner or creator, such as Azshara's Claw, Ke Luo's Blade, and so on.
It was so cold today. Xiao Xiao, it started snowing last night, and it's all white in the morning. Everyone, keep warm, and if you can, go to bed early …
