Chapter 2828
Repentance slowly floated up without being controlled by Li Qiye . It seemed to have its own spirit and will .
“Buzz . ” It no longer resembled an ordinary blade and exuded a holy pulse . Just this light alone could purify all darkness and evil .
Wu Ke and Zhang Dingyu trembled in response . This light illuminated deep into their heart and washed away their evil intents, forcing them to succumb .
They instantly protected their mind in order to prevent any further influence .
“What a good sword…” Wu Ke praised after protecting his mindset; his eyes were fixated on the sword .
Wu Ke might not be a top master of the sword dao but he still knew swords very well . Because of this, he instantly realized that this sword had become sentient with its own spirit .
This was very rare since it meant that the sword was a deity - a peerless weapon . Normally, only a sword always carried around by a progenitor and immensely gestated by their grand dao would achieve this level . Not all progenitorial swords were so lucky .
That’s why Wu Ke lusted this sword, evident by the fire in his eyes . He would become a tiger with wings since his sword dao would become so much stronger .
“Of course it’s good . ” Li Qiye chuckled: “The progenitor groomed it for a generation so its light is supreme and mighty . It can spot evil and will automatically erase any existence with nefarious thought . ”
“That’s a progenitorial sword for you…” Wu Ke’s gaze intensified and wanted to wield the sword right away .
“Be smart and hand it over right now!” Zhang Dingyu shouted .
Who wouldn’t want an ancestral sword? Even those not trained in the sword dao still wanted one . Possessing a weapon of this level boosted one’s battle potential by several levels .
The hidden spectators were shocked to hear Li Qiye too .
“Is it true? How can Repentance Institution have a progenitorial weapon?” One of them said in disbelief .
“That’s because you don’t know anything about that academy . ” An older student shook his head: “Yes, it has a bad reputation, weak, and hasn’t taught any decent student . However, its history is as long as any of the four great ones, some say it is even older than Northern Academy . It is founded by the progenitor so it makes sense that it has some great resources . The only problem is a lack of effort from its future students . ”
“I know of this sword . The progenitor left it there as the ultimate treasure of Repentance Institution . It’s just that very few can lift it up, let alone taking it away . In the present time, I only know one person capable of lifting it, and that’s Holyfrost True Emperor . ” Another student added .
“The emperor is the only one?” The friend became startled: “Then how does this student have it here right now? Don’t tell me he’s stronger than Holyfrost True Emperor . ”
“Don’t be silly, how can a student from Repentance compare to her?” The older student shook his head: “It might be a stroke of luck that he’s accepted by the sword . Fate and fortune are too intangible and mysterious, no one can predict these affinities . ”
“So lucky . ” All the students became jealous . After all, not everyone can possess an artifact of this level . Normally, only the most talented geniuses could possess a sword like this .
“This sword of light can dispel darkness and sever evil thoughts . Do you dare to test your righteousness with it?” Li Qiye saw their greed and smiled .
“And then what?” Wu Ke scowled, not really believing it .
“Let’s make another bet then . If you test this sword without suffering any backlash, it will show your innocence and righteousness . Of course, in the opposite case, if you can stop the slash, it will be considered your win too . ” Li Qiye elaborated .
“What happens when we win?” Dingyu impatiently shouted .
“Very simple, when you win, this sword will be yours . But if you lose, then I have nothing to do with it . The sword will be the thing refining your evil intents . One can only say that you are punished by the judgment of the progenitor in that case . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Really?” Wu Ke’s eyes flashed brightly .
Why did he come all the way here? This sword was obviously his target, not justice .
“Of course . ” Li Qiye chuckled: “So yes or no? Win and this great treasure will be yours . I’m sure your sect doesn’t have one like this . ”
The group froze after hearing this since it was indeed the truth . What if they were to get one for their sect? They would be so well-respected and beloved in the future, perhaps becoming the sect master too .
“Let’s go!” Wu Ke and the other members exchanged glances before nodding .
“Okay, time to start . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Wait, if we need to block a slash, it will still be our win, right? All of us can do so together?” Wu Ke asked for confirmation .
“Yes, that will mean that you have evil thoughts but as long as you can stop it, it is your win . ” Li Qiye said .
“It’s a deal . If we can’t stop the slash, we can only blame ourselves for being weak . ” Wu Ke solemnly said .
Though the sword was a progenitorial weapon, they didn’t believe that someone as weak as Li Qiye could exert its true power - not even ten percent .
That’s why they were confident about stopping the slash when working together .
“Yes, gentlemen keep their words . ” Li Qiye said .
“Very well, start the formation!” Wu Ke commanded and they jumped back on their beasts .
They swiftly moved to the correct positions, seemingly well-practiced . This only took a brief moment and a murderous aura engulfed the area .
The spectators knew that they were battle-hardened and not just pampered students stuck in the classroom .
After all, they were from big sects and clans before joining the academy as excellent geniuses . Thus, they had plenty of trials and training previously .
“Clank! Clank! Clank!” Everyone and their beasts were adorned in another layer of metallic plates, eventually forming a full armor .
“Ra!” The beasts roared . This activated the formation, causing it to pulse with them commanding various spots .
All of them disappeared and a gigantic armored leopard appeared in front of Li Qiye . This beast looked like a mountain made of metal . Its long tail was a steel whip . Its teeth and claws resembled sharp swords, capable of tearing all existences to pieces .
Moreover, its frightening aura had both the wild ferocity of a beast along with a murderous presence . People couldn’t help but shudder while being the target of its glare .
