Chapter 569: Divine Weapon Reward!

There was another reward for the martial arts conference. Besides the “Combined Fingers” bestowed by the Murong family, the top young disciple would also receive a divine weapon.
“This time, the hero of Hero Villa has given a sword as a divine weapon. He already sent it in advance and placed it in the Murong family’s treasure vault…” The Murong family head smiled joyfully. “But I think you might need another weapon.” As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Happy’s boxing gloves. “Although these gloves seem to have been crafted by a master and are made of fine materials, they are still just ordinary masterpieces, not divine weapons. Well, let me pick out a weapon suitable for you from the Murong family’s treasure vault.”
“The disciple obeys.”
Happy had originally planned to practice the Yue family’s spear or sword techniques, but now that he had the “Combined Fingers,” his plans changed. It would complement the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” perfectly, so getting new boxing gloves would be ideal.
Suddenly, the Murong family head magically took out a pair of snow-white, magnificent, and soft gloves…
Happy was stunned. Though initially surprised, he soon noticed that the temperature around him was dropping rapidly. The gloves in the Murong family head’s hands emitted an astonishing chill—clearly not for display.
“What is this…?”
Miss Murong’s eyes lit up as she quickly explained, “Hurry and thank our family head! These are my father’s famous weapon—the Ice Hands of the Heavenly Silkworm King, the divine weapon that made him famous!”
The Murong family head smiled. Before Happy could speak, he threw the gloves, radiating bone-chilling cold, at Happy. “Divine weapons belong to heroes. I’m getting old. The world of martial arts now belongs to you young people.”
Ice Hands of the Heavenly Silkworm King: (Mid-tier divine artifact, crafted from the silk spun by the Heavenly Silkworm King, a mystical beast from the Tianshan Mountains, over ten years. Immune to fire and water, invulnerable to blades and guns, and emits extreme cold.) Attack power: 1000 points. Increases attack speed by 20%. Comes with the extreme cold of the Heavenly Silkworm King—enemies within range have their speed reduced by 20% when hit by the cold. During combat, enemies in the area suffer from cold poison, accelerating the depletion of their internal energy.
Wow!
Happy gasped in awe as he caressed the icy, bone-chilling “Ice Hands of the Heavenly Silkworm King,” thinking to himself:
The effects of these gloves are almost equivalent to adding the damage of an elite martial art and accelerating the depletion of internal energy. Comparable to the Silver Fox’s “Red Flame Palm,” combined with the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms,” facing a demonic sect elder alone should not be too difficult now.

Thinking of the auxiliary effects this divine weapon could bring to him, the “Jinhua Jiuyang Gong” began to operate on its own, and he no longer felt the bone-chilling coldness coming from the gloves.
“Thank you, Master Xie for your gift!”
Kai Xin even started imagining that if these gloves could also be upgraded to the fourth level, there might still be opponents in the state of Wuwei—though this was of course delusional. Forging a divine weapon required fortune; if it failed, everything would be lost.
Xiao Bei dared to take risks with the “Right Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King” because it was just a low-grade demonic weapon with limited lethality and no rank, meaning it had little value. Only weapons with ranks could truly be valuable.
But the “Ice Hand of the Celestial Silkworm King” was different. Although its attack power was lower than that of a fourth-level Guardian Sword, its attributes were extremely practical and precious. Kai Xin really didn’t dare to risk it.
“You don’t need to thank me. This is a gift from the Heroic Villa. I’m just helping you fulfill your wish.” Master Murong naturally didn’t know that Kai Xin was already thinking about how to handle this divine weapon. With a hearty laugh, he said, “But this item also suits your title perfectly…”
“Title?”
“That’s right. Since your return from the martial arts conference, all the major sects have already started calling you ‘The Blue-Clothed Man of Gusu’!”
“The Blue-Clothed Man of Gusu?”
Kai Xin felt unsteady on his feet.
This title wasn’t particularly famous at all—far from the impressive reputation he had expected!
Seeming to notice Kai Xin’s confusion, Master Murong smiled and said, “The people of the Heroic Villa are truly extraordinary. They learned that you prefer to wear blue clothes most of the time and knew that the disciples of the Murong family always act low-key, humble, and unpretentious in the martial world. That’s why they consulted various sects and gave you this title.”
“Gusu, blue clothes, and a man…”
Master Murong’s smile remained, his voice loud, clearly very satisfied. “Excellent! To receive such a title directly from the masters of various sects, you can be proud as you travel the martial world from now on.”
Ding!
System notification:
“You have obtained the title ‘The Blue-Clothed Man of Gusu’. Your reputation in the martial world has increased by 10,000 merit points!”
Kai Xin’s frustration only lasted for a moment. After thinking carefully, he realized that this title was actually a tremendous honor.
Both “Gusu” and “blue clothes” would from now on be synonymous with him—Kai Xin!
Blue clothes of Gusu!
It implied he was the best in blue clothes in the city of Gusu.
As for the last word, “man,” it was a title reserved for heroes.
After resolving his doubts, Master Murong brought the conversation back to the ultimate purpose of this martial arts conference… His tone changed:

“This martial arts conference was sabotaged by the demonic sects, but the alliance leader has been unanimously chosen by the masters of various sects to be Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect!”
It matched Kai Xin’s happy speculation.
Probably only Wang Chongyang, the extraordinary man with the Innate Skill, could stand up to the evil king Shi Zhixuan.
Murong Family Head’s expression turned serious: “However, all the sects have suffered heavy losses this time. Moreover, all parties have agreed to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect in a month. During this time, the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect will surely harass and attack various sects, including our Murong family. We must also be extremely cautious.”
“But the experts of the demonic sects should be focusing on those major sects. Most of the demonic sect members active in this area are ordinary disciples and not difficult to deal with,” said Miss Murong, who was quick-witted. “Since the demonic sects are so rampant, we should eliminate as many as possible.”
“That’s right.”
Murong Family Head nodded:
“Now that we’ve gone to war with the demonic sects, we don’t need to worry too much. So starting today, I order all our disciples to be strict! If they see anyone from the demonic sect, they must not spare them! The more they kill, the richer the rewards will be!”
“…”
After listening quietly for a while, Kai Xin finally heard Murong Family Head and Miss Murong finish giving their orders and left the hall.
“Kai Xin.”
Miss Murong chased after him lightly.
“Miss.”
“Practice the ‘Combined Finger Technique’ as quickly as possible. In the future, try not to use the ‘Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ to avoid misunderstandings from the Beggars’ Sect.”
“Disciple understands.”
“Alright, go then.” Miss Murong didn’t stop Kai Xin any further.
Kai Xin respectfully took his leave, met up with He Shiyi and the others who had been knocked out and brought back, and left in a hurry.
Now!
Nothing could stop Kai Xin from heading to Wudang!
