Half a month later, on the last day of the first month.
Noon.
Lu An sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. His face alternated between red and white as he breathed. As the red and white alternated, the temperature in the room also changed back and forth.
For the past half a month, Lu An had spent almost all of his time in his room and had not taken a single step out of the courtyard. He had been cultivating day and night in order to make up for the time he had wasted.
Other than setting aside some time to cultivate the Scorching Nine Suns and the Wrath of the Ocean, Lu An had spent all of his time on improving his realm. Now, there was a huge problem with cultivating the Scorching Nine Suns. However, this problem could not be solved by comprehension. It was because he was not strong enough.
If he was not strong enough, no matter how strong he was, he could not release a bigger light spot. Therefore, he focused all of his attention on improving himself.
Fortunately, his sleepless cultivation for half a month had paid off. Just three days ago, he had successfully entered the intermediate stage. Now, his strength was almost 40% higher than when he was in the early stage.
It was also because he felt the huge change in strength that Lu An realized how important it was to improve his realm. This was not so obvious when he was in the Divine Realm. Moreover, as his strength increased, the difference would be greater. As expected, he should improve his strength faster.
At this moment, Lu An, who was cultivating, heard footsteps outside the courtyard. In the past, there would be maids delivering food to him every day. Because Han Ya knew that he was cultivating, she ordered no one to disturb him. It was already noon. It seemed that he should rest for a while and eat.
After withdrawing from his cultivation, Lu An exhaled and wiped the sweat off his head. He got off the bed and walked to the door.
When there was a knock on the door, he had just arrived at the door. When he opened the door, Lu An was slightly stunned.
It was not a maid who delivered food to him today, but Han Ya.
Han Ya was dressed in blue. At this moment, the snowflakes outside made her temperament even colder. Han Ya was already very tall. When she stood in front of Lu An, she was even taller than him by half a head. She was holding a tray with hot dishes and rice on it. Seeing this, Lu An quickly reached out to take it and said, "Senior Sister, please come in."
Then, Lu An and Han Ya walked into the house. Lu An placed the tray on the table while Han Ya patted the snow off her body.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. How's your cultivation going?" Han Ya was the first to speak. Her voice was as cold as the snow outside.
Lu An was already used to this kind of Han Ya, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you are now at the middle stage of Grade 1."
Han Ya's eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded slightly and said, "It's been about four months since you entered the Great Accomplishment Sky Mountain. That's quite fast."
Lu An smiled and said, "Senior Sister, how come you have time to visit me today?"
Han Ya did not answer. Instead, she placed her right hand on the ring on her left hand. With a flash of light, a scarlet short sword appeared in Han Ya's hand.
Lu An was stunned when he saw this. He could vaguely feel that the scarlet short sword was emitting waves of heat. Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at Han Ya and asked, "Is this … your weapon?"
"Yes." Han Ya revealed a rare smile and nodded gently. She said, "I just got it. It's noon now, so I brought it to you to show it."
Lu An was delighted when he heard this. This was the first time he had seen a weapon at such a close distance. Moreover, it was a Grade 2 weapon! He carefully reached out and picked up the short sword. He saw that there were clear and complicated patterns on the short sword. The crystal core was embedded at the tip of the short sword. It was extremely dazzling!
"I originally wanted to make it into a dagger." Han Ya looked at Lu An and said softly, "I've seen you use a dagger before. I feel that the power of a dagger is not inferior to other weapons. But after trying it out, I felt that a dagger is not suitable for me. Moreover, I don't like long swords, so I compromised and made this short sword. "
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Han Ya. He did not think that the production of this short sword had something to do with him.
"This weapon does not have a name." Han Ya said softly, "The crystal core was obtained by you for me. Therefore, I want you to name it."
Name?
Lu An was embarrassed when he heard this. He placed the short sword on the table and scratched his head. "Senior Sister, I don't even know how to write. It's better if you don't let me come up with a name."
Han Ya was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lu An and did not want to lie. She did not think that Lu An could not write.
"No matter." Han Ya shook her head and said, "You can name it. At most, I won't use it."
"… …"
Lu An awkwardly looked at Han Ya. Looking at Senior Sister's serious expression, he lowered his head and seriously pondered. He was afraid that he would come up with a strange name and make others laugh.
Lu An's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His whole body was trembling. This was not even seen when he was facing Huang Kai.
After a while, Lu An slowly raised his head. With a dignified face, he looked at Han Ya and said, "Scarlet Sword … How about it?"
"… …"
Han Ya quietly looked at Lu An, causing Lu An to sweat profusely. Her eyes seemed to despise Lu An. After thinking for so long, he could only come up with this name.
"Is it not good …." Lu An was somewhat guilty. He quickly said, "Then I'll think of another one."
"Forget it." Han Ya gently waved her hand. She turned to look at the scarlet short sword on the table and said, "Scarlet Sword it is, it's simple."
Lu An suddenly exhaled a long breath. He looked at the short sword with some hesitation and asked tentatively, "Isn't it too ordinary?"
"En." Han Ya coldly replied, making Lu An even more ashamed.
Han Ya picked up the scarlet sword and placed it in her hand. Feeling the rolling heat, she said softly, "Scarlet Sword is in my hand. Even I haven't tried it. Why don't I try it here?"
Lu An was startled. Then, he was suddenly overjoyed. He also wanted to know the power of this second grade weapon. He said, "Then let's go to the courtyard!"
Soon, Lu An and Han Ya arrived at the huge courtyard. Under the white snow, Han Ya held the scarlet sword in her hand. Lu An looked at her expectantly.
Han Ya slightly frowned. Then, she filled the entire sword with Heaven's Origin Force. In an instant, the scarlet sword's red color became more obvious and brighter. At the same time, a truly blazing temperature spread out from it. The snow was melted before it could even touch it!
Following that, the surface of the scarlet sword began to change. The surface of the steel seemed to have turned into molten iron, or perhaps magma appeared on the surface, forming a scarlet liquid.
This was the first time Han Ya had seen such a change. Lu An could feel that the temperature of the sword had reached a terrifying level.
Just being slashed by this sword would probably cause one to die, not to mention the skills attached to the scarlet sword.
Han Ya also seemed to have thought of this. She channeled her Heaven's Origin Force into the crystal core. Then, the crystal core lit up, as if it had regained its life force!
In the next moment, a light flashed and a long torrent appeared without any warning!
Han Ya and Lu An were stunned at the same time. The sword body had completely turned into a liquid state. At the same time, magma surged out like a river!
This was not the magma that Han Ya had created. It was real magma, pure magma from a volcano!
Whether it was the temperature or the quantity, it was much more terrifying than the magma that Han Ya had released. Furthermore, Han Ya's magma was mixed with many stones, while this was pure liquid. After the magma gushed out, half of the entire courtyard was instantly overturned!
This scene gave the two of them a huge fright. Han Ya also hurriedly withdrew her Heaven's Origin Force. Only then did the magma stop spreading and the scarlet sword turn back into its steel form.
However, looking at the magma that filled the courtyard, the two of them stood there in a daze, unable to recover from their shock.
After two breaths, Lu An took a deep breath and walked forward solemnly. Soon, he stood in front of the boiling magma on the ground. He squatted down and extended his hand towards the magma.
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Han Ya was shocked and quickly shouted when she regained her senses.
However, by the time she shouted, it was already too late. Lu An had completely submerged his hand into the magma. His brows were slightly furrowed as he carefully felt the temperature of the magma.
After three breaths, Lu An pulled his hand out and the boiling magma fell from his hand. Han Ya was shocked to discover that there was not a single scar on Lu An's hand. It was not even red.
Following that, Lu An walked in front of Han Ya and said, "Senior Sister, release a bit of magma into my hand."
Han Ya was startled when she heard this, but Lu An had just proven that he was not afraid of magma, so she could only release a bit of magma into Lu An's hand.
The magma fell from her slender hand and landed on Lu An's hand. Lu An felt the temperature of the magma and his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Senior Sister, the temperature of the magma released by the scarlet sword is much higher than yours." Lu An frowned, he raised his head to look at Han Ya and said, "In other words, if you are injured by the scarlet sword, you will also be injured."
