Chapter 402: The Brocade Box Unopened! The Demon Weapon Revealed!

A dark glow burst forth from within the brocade box…
With a loud crack!
The precious box burst open, shattering on the floor. Then, a dark blue iron bow adorned with wave patterns appeared on the table, leaving Happy stunned in awe.
It was indeed a bow—a bow whose shaft was even larger than the table!
Slightly disappointed, Happy picked it up and tried pulling it casually. To his surprise, it didn’t budge at all. He was momentarily stunned, then a glint appeared in his eyes as he instinctively channeled internal energy into it.
A few seconds later, the entire bow seemed to come to life like waves. As it bent, the sound of towering tidal waves filled the room!
As internal energy flowed into it, three invisible arrows rapidly gathered in the three grooves on the bow’s shaft, accompanied by the sound of those tidal waves. The sound vanished the moment the arrows took shape, but their fierce sharpness remained in Happy’s hands, making the air in the room thick with tension.
“Amazing.”
Happy’s face lit up with joy as he examined the weapon once again…
**North Sea Chain Bow: (Top-Class Demon Weapon)**
A masterpiece created by the forging master “North Sea.” Its shaft was made from deep-sea iron, while its string was crafted from the essence of the whale king’s heart muscle. It was shaped after being soaked in North Sea’s hidden current vortex for 1,001 days. Having slain countless beings, this divine weapon declined into a demon weapon!
It boosts attack power by 600 points. No arrows are needed—internal energy turns into arrows (1 arrow equals 1 point of internal energy damage), allowing invisible attacks. Up to three arrows can be fired simultaneously. If one masters the “North Sea Chain Bow Technique,” up to nine arrows can be fired at once, dealing continuous damage until one side perishes. It is the unparalleled martial art that made “North Sea” invincible in the world.
“…”
Happy was stunned.
He felt both overjoyed and extremely frustrated.
After waiting for two months, opening the brocade box yielded such a precious top-class demon weapon—one that was not only valuable but also extremely powerful. His wait had indeed not been in vain.
What frustrated him, however, was that there was still a mythical giant gold mountain hidden behind this, along with a shocking secret. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be seen or touched.
An unparalleled martial art—how could Happy not be tempted?
**North Sea Chain Bow Technique**

Actually, when channeling internal energy, it always seemed that the activation of the tidal waves was a bit too slow—probably due to resistance to his technique. If he could use Beihai’s method to draw the bow and shoot arrows, both in terms of power and speed, it would be beyond his comparison. He could even imagine the spectacular and awe-inspiring scene of Beihai firing nine arrows in a row from the Chain Bow, with an overwhelming barrage of invisible arrows repelling enemies.

Unfortunately…

The Chain Bow didn’t give him any clues. It seemed he could only wait for an opportunity to see if he might encounter it again or come across similar information.

Moreover, at present, Kai Xin hadn’t properly learned archery, so he didn’t even have the possibility of using the Chain Bow (he couldn’t rely solely on the weapon’s 600 damage to fight enemies). Frustrated, he had no choice but to store the Chain Bow away again.

After leaving the bank, Kai Xin asked about Tie Wuxin’s progress in reaching Stage 4. Lei Zhan replied that Tie Wuxin had been in the forging room for most of the day with no progress yet. Kai Xin could only suppress his excitement.

He glanced at the List of Divine Weapons. No weapon at Stage 4 had appeared yet, which made him feel slightly uneasy. This wasn’t a good sign.

It had been half a day—had the attempt failed? One weapon, or two? Although he was prepared mentally beforehand, facing failure firsthand still caused some anxiety.

…

In the capital city, there was a very famous mansion: Tianji Mansion. Although its gates were always closed and no guests visited, everyone knew it was the residence of the All-Knowing Scholar—a man who should have lived in seclusion like a hermit, but who boldly became the first player in the capital to purchase a luxurious mansion. A man who wore a white robe all day long and was criticized as hypocritical…

But as time passed, the All-Knowing Scholar devoted himself day after day to writing The Chronicles of the Jianghu, avoiding any disputes among factions or individuals, truly cultivating himself. Gradually, the negative reputations surrounding him faded, and more and more people began to respect him as the All-Knowing Scholar. Some even praised him on the official forum, hoping he would include them among the great masters.

“Master.”

In the pavilion inside the mansion, a girl with bare face held a zither and rushed toward the middle-aged man walking out of the door, her face filled with joy: “I’ve learned another piece. Master, please listen.”

Seeing Wind Chime running over joyfully, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression stiffened. He quickly stepped back, turned 180 degrees, and muttered to himself, “Ah, I forgot there are still a few people left unjudged. I’m getting old; my memory’s getting worse and worse…” The door closed with a snap. “Master!!” Wind Chime stood outside holding her zither, like a child to whom her favorite toy had been taken, “Was my playing that bad?” “Who said that!” The door creaked open, revealing Bai Xiaosheng’s indignant face. “Who dares say my Wind Chime plays poorly? I dare say you’re far better than your master, the Six-Fingered Zither Demon!” Seeing Wind Chime sit down proudly with her zither on her knees, he quickly closed the door even faster. “Who is it? Calling at this time… Ah, Wind Chime, let’s stop for today.” “…” Wind Chime was speechless. After listening for a while and confirming no sound came from inside, she reluctantly brushed off the dust from her clothes, picked up her zither, and left, muttering, “Stupid master. What’s the big deal in listening? It’s not as bad as before… Fine, if you won’t listen, I’ll go find someone else to listen.” With that, she headed straight out of the mansion. However, Wind Chime wouldn’t go out through the main gate, as her master had told her not to—it could attract unwanted attention. So, during this time, she had also developed excellent counter-surveillance skills. She put away her zither, went to the wall, listened for a while, then swiftly slipped out of Tianji Mansion, blending into the crowd like a bird freed from its cage. At the moment Wind Chime left, she didn’t realize that Bai Xiaosheng had already stepped out of his room and was staring in her direction, sighing deeply. After months of training, Wind Chime finally reached 100 points of enlightenment half a month ago. She found her master and proved with facts that her extraordinary enlightenment made her a threat to all great masters. This earned her the Six-Fingered Zither Demon’s sympathy, allowing her to inherit his teachings. Her Tianyin Juemai constitution proved to be truly unique—her ability to practice any martial art was several times that of ordinary people. Although her playing was still terribly rough after half a month, its lethality was unparalleled, which was even more terrifying! “Wind Chime, it’s time to send you out for some experience.” “…” Though Bai Xiaosheng said this, the worry on his face still revealed his true feelings. He turned back to his room, checked the important information that had appeared on the Tianji Inkstone, pondered for a while, then decisively wrote a letter and signed it with a name.
