Protect Our Clan Leader

At this, both Old Ancestor Longyan and Wang Shouzhe became very interested. They had never heard of a War Soldier or a standard weapon before.

The Artifact Spirit clarified, “According to our detection, War Soldier Wang Licui’s primary weapon is a war hammer. Would you like to choose it?”

“A hammer, I want a hammer, using a hammer is so satisfying,” Wang Licui said without hesitation. The reality was, she couldn’t handle any other weapons.

Would it make any sense if she didn’t choose a hammer? Was she going to do some embroidery with a sword?

After that, the Artifact Spirit stopped arguing with her.

Following a brief spatial fluctuation, there was a ‘clank’ sound.

A war hammer suddenly materialised out of thin air and fell heavily on the ground.

It had created a crater in the solid surface of the trial platform.

The war hammer was ordinary in appearance, all-black, and radiating a rich luminous aura. It looked as if it possessed a high level of spirituality.

The Old Ancestors’ faces changed, “This is…?”

“A top-grade spirit instrument!”

Based on the intensity of the luminous aura, there was no doubt that this was a top-grade spirit instrument.

Beyond their shock, they all felt an indescribable jealousy and envy.

Some of the Old Ancestors from smaller clans didn’t even have one spirit instrument.

Even those that did have one, most were of lower grades, while only a few reached middle-grade spirit instrument level.

The entire Wang family possessed only three spirit instruments so far.

Among them, the Zhou Xuan Sword was a middle-grade spirit instrument, while the Dragon Smoke Sword and Purple Gold Bowl were merely lower-ranked spirit instruments.

Therefore, it was an incredible and enviable achievement to suddenly have a top-grade spirit instrument.

What made it even more astonishing was the fact that the Artifact Spirit called it a ‘standard weapon.’

This made clear how powerful the Divine Martial Dynasty must have been at its height!

Upon seeing the war hammer, Wang Licui eagerly grabbed it, “This hammer looks deadly, I like it. Ehh, why is it so heavy?”

Then, she gripped the handle with both hands and with a great deal of effort managed to lift it, her walk immediately becoming unsteady.

Everyone was taken aback.

They all had witnessed Wang Licui’s strength. Among those at the Qi Refinement stage, very few could be her match. With her power, she should have been able to lift an object weighting three thousand kilograms with ease.

How heavy was this war hammer? Five thousand kilograms, or six thousand kilograms?

Seeing the struggle, Liu Ruolan couldn’t bear it anymore and came forward to say, “Licui, with your current strength, I guess you can’t wield this hammer. Let me hold on to it for you.”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Wang Licui readily agreed.

Then, with a single stroke, Liu Ruolan stored the hammer into her storage ring.

One couldn’t help but acknowledge how useful the storage ring was in this situation. It only recognized volume, not weight.

All the Old Ancestors eyed the storage ring enviously. Despite all the wealth Wang Shouzhe had brought them, buying a storage ring was still too much of a luxury.

“Licui, take some rest then quickly try the fourth level,” said Liu Ruolan, “I find this challenge game very interesting, I can’t wait.”

Liu Ruolan was initially indifferent towards the trial, only participating to support her husband. However, she now found it quite amusing.

“Yes, Auntie,” Wang Licui obediently replied, she knew very well who truly called the shots at home.

After eating and resting for a while, Wang Licui donned her gear and told the Artifact Spirit she was ready for the next level.

“War Soldier Wang Licui, as you wish.”

Following this, another spatial fluctuation occurred and a terrifying puppet demon, over three metres tall, appeared.

Its size wildly exceeded the previous puppet demons, its scales were like tangible armour, radiating a dark glow. Even its eyes looked cold and ruthless.

As soon as it appeared, a powerful oppressive aura enveloped the whole place.

All the young ones at the Qi Refining level involuntarily changed their faces, feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy, an unparalleled fierce beast.

Wang Shouzhe’s pupils constricted, thinking, what the hell?

Wasn’t the fourth level supposed to be against four puppet demons?

This thing, isn’t it a puppet demon at the Spirit Platform Realm?

How can anyone at the Qi Refining stage defeat that?

Wang Licui, who was the first to be confronted by the puppet demon, was so stunned, she was almost in tears. Was the Artifact Spirit playing games with her?
