Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 96 Obtaining the Demon-Slaying Tool

After that, Li Yu often went to the main campus of Mingzhu Academy after class, studying under Ding Yumian's supervision like a primary school student. He dabbled in various magic arrays, demon habits, and even ancient magic runes. The busy and fulfilling life made Li Yu want to die, but he spent nearly three months in peace and stability.

"What's the matter, Jiang?"

"Oh, my magic tools are done, right? Okay, okay, I'll pick them up tomorrow."

"What? The Master is here too? That's too polite."

"No problem, no problem. I will be there tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Li Yu, full of anticipation, hurried to the Forging Research Institute. After all, this was the highest-grade magic tool he was about to obtain since he embarked on the path of magic.

Finally, Li Yu took over two square small boxes from Jiang Jian. Inside each box was a small pendant-like object. Li Yu, who had experience with magic tools, naturally knew that this was the form of the magic tool before it was connected to the magician's spirit.

After thanking him repeatedly, Li Yu was eager to return to refine the magic tool but was stopped by Che Rong and his apprentice. In his confusion, Che Rong told him,

"You can refine the magic tool here. There is a special place in the research institute for testing."

At this point, Che Rong smiled somewhat proudly.
"I added some goodies to your magic tool to see how powerful it can be."

"nice one?!"

Li Yu's face suddenly turned ugly. Seeing this, Che Rong thought that Li Yu thought he was going to raise the price midway, so he comforted him casually.
"Don't worry, this is my personal sponsorship, you don't need to pay more."

What can Li Yu say? Is this about money?

God knows what consequences these magic tool masters' fantastic ideas will bring. If the result is good, it's fine. But what if the magic tool turns into something weird? Can he still find someone to return it?
After refining the magic tool, Li Yu, under the guidance of Che Rong, came to the underground test site of the Forging Research Institute. The first thing he checked was the shield magic tool forged using the bones of the white sand dragon singing turtle. The raw materials cost hundreds of millions, so he couldn't let it be scrapped!
Afterwards, the worried Li Yu showed a relieved expression. Fortunately, there was no problem. The master was worthy of being a master. At least when he was not free to play, his level was still quite gratifying.

"What shield magic tool are you looking at? What I want you to see is the magic slashing tool."

Hearing Che Rong's urging voice from the side, Li Yu did not delay and summoned the demon-slaying tool.

A long sword with a scabbard, judging from its style, it seems a bit like the horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty. The sword is about one meter long, with a straight blade and back. There are meaningless patterns engraved on the narrow blade, and a small groove runs through the entire blade.

When the knife was pulled out of the scabbard, it was chilling and sharp, and it looked a bit like it was forged from steel. There was no sign that the material came from a demon commander.

but……

"Is there anything special about this demon slayer?"

"Hmph~"

Che Rong, with his arms crossed, seemed to have been waiting for Li Yu to ask this question, and he snorted with a smug laugh.

"Try injecting your own magic energy into the magic tool."

Li Yu tried it, and was shocked to find that the wind magic energy quickly spread along the grooves on the handle, and finally a green blade light about twenty meters long stretched out out of thin air.

"You kid really has a spirit seed."

The initial form and nature of each magician's magic are almost exactly the same, but Li Yu's wind magic had long been transformed by the spirit seed, and the color had changed significantly, so it was seen through at a glance.

However, Che Rong and Jiang Jian were obviously not surprised that Li Yu had a spirit seed. It would be strange if he didn't have a wind spirit seed to get the strange bone of the white sand dragon singing turtle and the tiger fang of the commander-level steel-toothed demon tiger. "Master, this is..."

Li Yu looked at the huge blade extending out of thin air from the narrow blade. He could clearly feel that he could control the length of the blade freely, and even easily wrap the magic power around the blade which was less than one meter long. The significance of this to the battle could be imagined. Such convenience made Li Yu feel a little happy.

"Put the knife back into the scabbard and continue to inject magic energy."

Che Rong did not explain to Li Yu, but continued to instruct him.

"clear."

With the precedent set, Li Yu's enthusiasm was greatly increased. He sheathed the sword, and wind magic energy flowed into the sword along the hand holding the handle.

"Draw your sword and release it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu drew his sword and swung it forward, slashing out a long and narrow blade that spanned the entire testing ground.
"boom!"

The huge smoke and dust dissipated, and a target blocking the front was directly broken into two pieces. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. The shield of the test field behind was also tottering under this blow, and it glowed like a candle in the wind.

"Pretty!"

Li Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Even with just this one strike, it was enough to instantly kill a great general, and even a demon commander could be repelled and injured.

"The magic power of this attack is stored in the scabbard. You can use your own magic power to activate it when you draw the sword."

Che Rong was also very satisfied with the power of this demon-slaying tool. With a ruddy face, he introduced the precautions to Li Yu.

"You can wait for the scabbard to absorb the magic elements in the air on its own, which takes about two days, or you can use magic stones to supply energy, which is faster and only takes a few hours. Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can also use your own magic power to charge it directly, as long as you are not afraid of wasting magic power."

"If you become a super-class magician, you will be able to accumulate the magic power of this sword energy within ten seconds."

Although he said so, there was a strong hint of ridicule on Che Rong's face. The super-class mage obviously looked down on this kind of low-end stuff, but in the hands of an ordinary low-class mage, this kind of sword energy could only have the power of a single strike in a battle.

However, what Li Yu coveted was not the seemingly swift sword energy, but the blade's length that could change freely. As long as he was willing to spend magic power, the twenty-meter-long sword would be enough for Li Yu to cut off the head of any commander.

Imagine that a demon relies on its huge size to wantonly bully a weak mage on the battlefield, but is suddenly beheaded by a 20-meter-long sword taken out by the opponent. What a shocking scene!
If he were facing a magician, it would be even easier. With this sword and his wind magic, and then a pair of high-quality magic shoes, Li Yu could transform into a magician killer in a matter of minutes. As long as he didn't encounter a psychic magician, no one could stop him in a one-on-one fight or a group fight.

If an ordinary mage dared to use this kind of assassin's method, he might have to worry about getting into trouble. But Li Yu was different. His strong physique gave him a high tolerance rate. Even if he was hit by a commander-level monster, he might be able to save his life. And with the huge size of the commander-level monster...

Whether you want to meet Li Yu depends purely on fate. Do you still want to rely on faith to meet a group of beasts that follow the law of the jungle?
"Boy, I hope you won't disgrace my craftsmanship."

Li Yu could see that the magic-slaying weapon in his hand seemed to be Che Rong's masterpiece. Even the magic shield forged from the white sand turtle bones could not compare to it. After all, the latter had the advantage of materials, while the former was a manifestation of skill.

Before leaving, Che Rong said something to Li Yu, but did not say much. After all, he was paid for the job. Since Li Yu had paid the money and the magic tool followed the other party, the final outcome was not the responsibility of him as a forger.

After returning, Li Yu had not lived a normal life for a few days when Ding Yumian came to his door.

"Ah? Let me take you to hunt demons?"
