Out of all of the Elite-tier weapons, only this saber-like weapon attracted Li Xiang's attention.
Unlike the other Origin Substance weapons, it exuded an aura similar to the Disaster's heart in his body. This caused his body to tremble with excitement, but he also felt a strange sense of rejection from his heart.
"It's called the Pursuer. Its design is based on two famous weapons from the Blue Planet era: the Tang Sword and the Tachi Sword. However, the blade is now more curved and slender, and the edge is incredibly sharp. Half of the blade is dark, while the other half is bright white. When you swing it, it's as if light and shadow are intertwined, creating a powerful visual impact. "
The manager could already tell Li Xiang's choice from the look in his eyes, so he decided to introduce the Pursuer to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang didn't have a deep understanding of Tang Swords and Tachi Swords, but he still had some basic knowledge. The Tang Sword was the ancestor of Tachi Swords. The two of them were slightly different in structure, and each had their own strengths. The Pursuer in front of him perfectly combined the characteristics of the two swords.
The hilt was made of a high-density material. The texture was excellent, and the texture was exquisite. Holding it in his hand gave him a different feeling. The handguard was a complicated three-dimensional talisman that wrapped around the tip of the blade. It was completely black, and what he felt the most was the strange throbbing sensation that came from the blade.
The sensation was similar to that of the Disaster's heart. Strangely, Li Xiang couldn't sense the location of the sword's Origin Substance core.
Normally speaking, the core was either hidden in a certain part of the sword or placed outside like a gem. Either way, as long as the user touched the sword, they would be able to easily sense its existence.
This Pursuer, however, didn't have any Origin Substance core.
"It seems like you've discovered something different about this Pursuer," the manager sighed. This was the most ominous aspect of the weapon. "It's different from normal Origin Substance weapons."
"It doesn't seem to have an Origin Substance core?" Li Xiang didn't mince his words. The Pursuer was extremely light. It was as light as a feather, but it also seemed to be connected to his body.
Was it a part of him?
"That's right. The Pursuer doesn't have an Origin Substance core because its blade was forged from the flesh and blood of a Disaster!" the manager sighed. His voice was heavy and trembling slightly.
Even at his age, his face was filled with fear at the mention of disaster.
When he was young, he had been on the battlefield. During his one month of compulsory military service, he had faced a true calamity on the frontlines. Thus, he had an indelible shadow over such matters.
Disasters and xenogeneics were completely different.
Powerful magicians could even expel xenogeneics one-on-one, and the stronger ones could even defeat a borderline xenogeneic in a one-on-one. But once they evolved into Disasters, they would become a different species.
"Calamity's flesh!" No. 1 covered her mouth in disgust. The thought that this sword was made from the flesh and blood of the Calamities made her stomach churn uncomfortably.
Li Xiang frowned. It really was related to the disaster.
"Then does that mean it doesn't have any special attributes?" Li Xiang didn't want an Origin Substance cold weapon with no special attributes.
"Uh … It should have some, but it isn't powered by Origin Substance. The creator has never revealed how to use it. If it doesn't have any special attributes, it's probably just a normal cold weapon. " The manager shook his head. The Pursuer had been placed here because of the creator's great fame. This might have just been his game, but to take his name into consideration, all of his works would have been recorded in the VIP area by Zero Grave.
Li Xiang weighed the Pursuer in his hand. From all aspects, it suited his needs very well. Combined with the powerful Underworld Ghost, it might have a miraculous effect.
But if it didn't have any special attributes, wouldn't he be at a great disadvantage?
He slowly stroked it. When he touched the blade, his heart began to beat rapidly again.
"Hm?" Li Xiang rubbed his eyes. Just now, under the grayish-white scale bar, the dark red scale bar that had not moved for a long time actually jumped for the first time.
He took a closer look. It had indeed reached 0.1%!
"The essence of the Origin Substance Driving Core is to use the Origin Substance as a source of energy to activate certain dormant magic particles in the Origin Substance cold weapon, causing it to explode with a corresponding special attribute. The true essence is the activation and explosion of magic particles. The Origin Substance is just a medium. If I use the magic particles in my body to activate the magic particles in the Pursuer, would it have the same effect? "
Li Xiang suddenly had an idea.
He had already opened up the counterweight. The hexagram contained six types of magic particles in his body. Normally, the magic particles in his body would be transported to the disaster heart through six different-colored chains.
The Heart of Disaster would then store the processed magic particles into the hexagram rune-shaped nucleus through the chains.
Did this mean that the magic particles in his counterweight had a trace of disaster aura?
Li Xiang immediately tried it out. He tried to send the red magic particles he was most familiar with out of the counterweight and into the Pursuer.
As the amount increased, the Pursuer actually glowed with a faint, demonic red light. The manager and Number One were shocked when they saw this.
This was obviously a sign that the Origin Substance Driving Core had been activated.
Normally, Origin Substance cold weapons would have this kind of phenomenon when they were activated. The color of the light represented the type of special attribute it possessed.
Red corresponded to a heavy blow, which was completely different from the Pursuer's light weight and speed. However, it still had a special attribute.
Over the years, countless people had come here to try it out, but no one had been able to activate the Pursuer's special attribute. Could it be that Li Xiang really was fated with it?
Li Xiang was enlightened. It really was possible!
Then, if he were to input other magic particles, he would also be able to unleash other special attributes? He didn't dare try it out in front of the manager, so he could only give up for now.
"That's it, the Pursuer." Li Xiang put the Pursuer back in its original position. He still needed to see what the manager wanted.
However, in his heart, there was no one else other than the Pursuer.
The manager's expression became difficult. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Little Brother Li Xiang, I won't hide it from you. The Pursuer is an extremely famous Origin Substance cold weapon. Even though no one has been foolish enough to buy it, its reputation is top-notch, which is why its price is so high. In addition, if you really want to take it away, you'll probably attract a lot of trouble. You need to think carefully. "
"That's fine. That's not a problem." Li Xiang shook his head. He was definitely going to take the Pursuer. As for the trouble, he was too weak to avoid it no matter where he went. He already had quite a few enemies, so he didn't care if he had a few more. He just needed to be careful.
As for the price, that was even less of an issue.
Origin Substance cold weapons usually cost 500,000 Blue Star Coins, so he could accept three or four million.
Since Li Xiang insisted, the manager naturally wouldn't stop him.
He had collected a large number of contribution points from Li Xiang. At the same time, he had heard that Li Xiang wanted to buy an Origin Substance combat uniform, so he had sold one to him from the VIP area.
For Origin Substance combat uniforms, unless they were branded products, their effects were about the same. It didn't matter where he bought them.
As for branded ones, such as the one that Yu Yi had, the starting price was a million Blue Star Coins. This required him to go to a specialized store and complete a lot of paperwork. Li Xiang didn't have that much money on hand, so he bought one that was similar to the one that he would use during the end-of-term exam.
The most basic model cost 300,000 Blue Star Coins.
In the blink of an eye, he had used up quite a bit of his contribution points. Luckily, he had won an extra 50,000 contribution points from Bai Jiaqi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford so much.
This way, as long as the Black Snake X and White Snake X were completed, he would have a full set of equipment. Even if Ye Yu had given him a lot of support, he wouldn't have much of the 100,000 contribution points left.
After the purchase, the manager helped him wrap it up and sent him to the entrance of the VIP area. This action was seen by Number One. She was even more certain that Li Xiang wasn't an ordinary person. To be able to be valued so highly by the manager of Zero Tomb, just knowing a little about ancient weapons wasn't enough.
"That, Little Brother Li Xiang, may I ask a question?" When they reached the entrance, the manager couldn't help but ask, "You and Miss Ming Xu are …"
"We are partners and good friends." It wasn't convenient for Li Xiang to reveal the Polar night, but when he heard Ming Xu being mentioned, he immediately understood why the manager would appear when he was in conflict with Li Xingqi, and why his attitude was so respectful.
It seemed that Ming Xu was more powerful than he had imagined. She was indeed a rich little lady.
The manager nodded and glanced at Number One. Number One wasn't stupid and immediately walked far away. When she heard 'Miss Ming Xu', her heart sank. To be called 'Miss' by the manager, wasn't she a girl from Dong Ling's family?
If this girl was the same age as Li Xiang, then between the two of them …
She didn't stand a chance. Number One was lost in her thoughts. She didn't know when, but she suddenly had the idea of entrusting her to Li Xiang.
People like her would be flocked to when she was young and beautiful. However, when she grew old, people might not care about her anymore. In the end, it was normal for her to marry a commoner.
But she didn't want to live like that for the rest of her life.
Of course, she didn't know about some obscure rules of the Dong Ling family. The Dong Ling family and the people of the Subcontinent District were forbidden from dating. If she had known about this, she wouldn't have been so disappointed.
While Number One's thoughts were running wild, Li Xiang had learned something about Ming Xu from his conversation with the manager.
She seemed to have a special position in the family.
The manager wanted to find out if Ming Xu had any intention of competing for the position of the family's heir. This was a matter of the team. He couldn't avoid it even if he was at the back.
Of course, Li Xiang gave a vague answer. He didn't know anything. Ming Xu probably didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to help him out when she saw his message. However, the manager interpreted it too much. Li Xiang could only smile without saying anything.
"If that's the case, I'll keep in touch when I have time." After all, he had added Li Xiang and could contact him at any time. The manager gave up after realizing that he couldn't get anything out of Li Xiang. But he was even more confused. He was sure that Ming Xu had such an idea.
After all, Ming Xu's identity was too sensitive. If he really had such an idea, it would be inappropriate for him to publicize it in the family. On the other hand, it would be better for him to pull some strings from the outside. Anyway, Ming Xu had shown his goodwill in advance. The manager probably had to find some old friends to talk to.
