Protect Our Clan Leader

The Zhou Xuan Sword was a middle-grade spiritual artifact passed down from the old ancestor and symbolizes our family. Naturally, it should be his to use.

Moreover, sword-based weapons are most common, and many people in this world use swords. They have the highest value in terms of inheritance.

Liu Ruolan was very obedient and nodded her head, saying, “Artifact Spirit, I choose the longsword category.”

Suddenly, there was a wave of spatial fluctuation.

A longsword type spiritual artifact appeared in front of Liu Ruolan.

It appears semi-transparent, as if it’s between tangible and intangible, and it exudes a strong and agile Vital Water aura under its lustrous colors, reminiscent of Autumn Water.

On the surface, it appears to be a longsword crafted from Spirit Water.

This, naturally, is yet another top-grade Spiritual Artifact!!

Upon seeing the beautiful sword, Liu Ruolan could hardly move her eyes.

She tentatively touched the hilt, crafted like transparent crystal, and immediately felt the cool moisture. In even subtler ways, she could sense this top-grade spiritual artifact subtly expressing a sense of joy.

No wonder, as Liu Ruolan has an almost Vital Water bloodline, her affinity for Vital Water can’t be compared to ordinary people. And this top-grade spiritual artifact has pure Vital Water properties.

Although it has yet to reach the level of choosing a master, it already has some rudimentary consciousness. Naturally, it’s happy to meet such a master.

Once Liu Ruolan held the hilt, it shaped itself as if it were alive, turning into a flexible form like water, wrapping around her arm. It gave the illusion of she having a semi-transparent bracelet on her wrist.

Like having a beloved toy, Liu Ruolan kept experimenting with it. With one thought, it turned into a long sword, and with another, it changed back into the semi-transparent bracelet.

Under her control, the beautiful and glowing aura of the bracelet dulled, becoming less noticeable.

Well, the ability to hide the spiritual light is a good feature. My husband once said, always keep a few cards up your sleeve.

“My lady is truly skilled, capable of controlling the spiritual artifact even before reaching the Spirit Platform Realm.” Wang Shouzhe praised her relentlessly.

Liu Ruolan chuckled lightly, “I can just barely control it. The truly powerful effects of the spiritual artifact can only be fully brought out once you reach the Spirit Platform Realm.”

“Nevertheless, my lady is far more formidable than most in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.” Wang Shouzhe sparing no effort to praise his wife, always seizing the chance to win her favor.

She was clearly very pleased, clearly satisfied with her top-grade spiritual artifact: “My husband, you’re an eloquent man. Can you name my Spirit Sword?”

“It’s like a pool of Autumn Water, exuding a rainbow-like glow, a mirage across the horizon,” Wang Shouzhe mused, “let’s call it ‘Wave’.”

Wave?

Liu Ruolan broke into a cold sweat. If the spiritual intelligence of the sword spirit grows in the future, would it go mad?

“Just kidding, let’s call it ‘Autumn Water'”, Wang Shouzhe laughed.

“Autumn Water, creating a mirage. Thank you, my husband,” Liu Ruolan’s smile grew even sweeter.

Miles away, Chen Fangjie was speechless. Shouzhe, his younger brother-in-law, truly outshone him. His ability to flatter was indeed unmatched, quite magnificent.

Seemingly, he, Chen Fangjie would have to learn and slowly understand the true meaning of it.

The rest of the Spirit Platform Old Ancestors were also envious of the Wang family’s many gains this time.

However, they were all relatives and had a core alliance based on joint interests. The stronger the Wang family, the more benefits will accrued to them.

“My lady has already passed three stages and must be tired. Why don’t you rest well? It’s time for me to perform,” Wang Shouzhe said.

“No, I want to try the fourth round,” Liu Ruolan insisted softly, “My husband, don’t worry. I just want to feel the atmosphere. If I can’t win, I’ll surrender.”

Wang Shouzhe hesitated for a moment and seeing her earnestness, he said, “Be careful, my lady.”

After a two-hour rest.

Once Liu Ruolan had regained her energy and looked full of vibrant energy, Wang Shouzhe let her go back in.

“Artifact Spirit, I want to challenge the fourth stage.”

“As you wish, warrior Liu Ruolan.”

As the voice fell, the previously appeared Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet reappeared. The bulging marks on its body, although healed, were clearly the effect of Wang Licui’s heavy hammer.

The Demon Puppet growled menacingly.

Like a wild beast, it rushed towards Liu Ruolan, causing fissures in the ground with its steps.

Apparently, it learned from the previous experience and decided to launch a strong attack right away, no longer toying with its prey.

With a wave of her jade hand, Liu Ruolan grabbed the Autumn Water Sword.

Although a spiritual artifact could be normally manipulated only in the Spirit Platform Realm,

Clearly, Liu Ruolan was already able to harness some of its power, making it far more formidable than a regular longsword.

With one swing of the sword, a pure Vital Water energy was released from the Autumn Water Sword, forming a Vital Water barrier.

“Bang!”

The Vital Water Barrier barely managed to delay the Demon Puppet before it shattered. The Puppet took advantage of this pause to launch an attack, swiftly clawing at Liu Ruolan.

She hurriedly blocked the attack, her elegant figure constantly being forced backward, no longer as composed as before.

In a short span of more than a dozen breaths, Liu Ruolan seemed to be on the verge of defeat.

The Spirit Platform Realm was, after all, the Spirit Platform Realm. It was separated from the Vital Energy Refining Realm by an insurmountable chasm. Even with the assistance of the Autumn Water Sword, she was no match.
