Chapter 14: Heroic Weapons and Profession Designation Tokens

[Preparing reward for the host...]
[Preparation complete!]

A colossal, ghostly roulette wheel, visible only to Song Qi, slowly materialized before his eyes.

Compared to last time, the wheel was now laden with far more items.

However, most of the new additions were clearly meant for other professions.

"What a pity. If only I could exclude them again," he mused. "But never mind, let's just spin."

Song Qi reached out and tapped in front of him.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A triple draw!

[Drawing rewards for the host...]

The enormous wheel began to spin, the three pointers whirling faster and faster!

A few minutes later...

The pointers gradually came to a halt, three distinct sections lighting up in different colors.

[Congratulations! You have received the hero-grade weapon—Bloodthirsty Shark-Tooth Greatsword.]
[Congratulations! You have received a Triple Experience Card (duration: 2 hours).]
[Congratulations! You have received a Profession Item Selection Voucher.]

"A Profession Item Selection Voucher?! What’s that?" Song Qi froze for a moment, then hurriedly opened his inventory to examine the details.

[Profession Item Selection Voucher: Use during a system draw to select a profession. All items not matching your chosen profession will be excluded.]

After reading it twice, Song Qi quickly understood its value.

"In short, it lets me remove all rewards for professions I can’t use."

"It’s... not bad, I suppose."

Although it didn’t increase the odds of drawing higher-grade items, it at least raised the chances of drawing something useful.

He turned his attention to the other two items.

There was no need to check the Triple Experience Card—he had already experienced its effects.

Simply put, it was superb!

As for the last item, it appeared to be a warrior’s weapon.

Song Qi withdrew it from his inventory.

But the moment the weapon materialized, its weight nearly knocked him off balance!

Clang!

One corner of the blade struck the ground, sending out a crisp metallic ring.

Only now could he finally take in its appearance.

It was a double-edged sword composed of countless fine serrated teeth.

The blade alone stretched a full meter, and with the hilt, the total length was about one point three or four meters.

Song Qi tried to lift it, gripping it with both hands, summoning every ounce of strength he had—but it was no use.

"So heavy?!"

Song Qi considered himself fairly fit, his strength at least matching the average adult male.

But even so, he couldn’t lift the weapon with both hands—he could barely raise the hilt.

He opened the weapon’s information panel.

[Weapon: Bloodthirsty Shark-Tooth Greatsword]
[Quality: Hero]
[Required Level: 30+]
[Required Attributes: Strength 60, Constitution 40]
[Strength: +275]
[Agility: -10]
[Constitution: +50]
[Spirit: +5]
[Effect 1: Increases the user’s Strength by an additional 15%.]
[Effect 2: Wounds caused by this weapon inflict continuous bleeding and reduce the effectiveness of all buffs on the target.]
[Innate Skills: None]

"As expected of a warrior’s weapon—requires 60 Strength? No wonder it’s such a struggle just to lift it."

Song Qi’s expression showed no surprise.

"Should I give it to Lü Bu? But he’d probably scoff."

He shook his head, dismissing the idea.

For Lü Bu, who wielded the divine Sky Piercer Halberd, this weapon had little appeal.

Even though the halberd’s divine effects were sealed, its sheer durability alone would easily outclass a hero-grade weapon.

If he insisted that Lü Bu use it, the man would comply, but deep down, he’d likely be cursing his master’s foolishness.

He might even mutter that his lord had a screw loose.

"Sell it, then? But to whom?"

After pondering for a while, a figure surfaced in his mind.

"Maybe... I should take it home and show my sister?"

"I recall she’s over level thirty now, and her class is also warrior."

"If she doesn’t want it, I can look for a buyer elsewhere."

After weighing his options, Song Qi finally put the weapon away and made his way off the plaza.

...

Seventh District, City Lord’s Mansion.

After escorting Song Qi to the Profession Hall for certification, Shen Huiwu came directly here.

At this moment, however, he was anxiously pacing in front of a magic array.

"Why hasn’t the lord responded? It’s been all afternoon."

"Is he still at the wilderness camp? Or did he run into the upper echelons of the Demon Clan?"

As Shen Huiwu stroked his beard, debating whether to use the emergency channel, the array finally reacted.

Crackle!

The formation flickered, and then an enormous human shadow abruptly appeared.

The figure was clad head to toe in black armor, his head also encased within a helmet.

The massive battle-axe on his back was as tall as two men, its blade shimmering with a sinister violet light.

Clack, clack!

The figure removed his helmet, revealing an utterly ordinary face, and glanced at Shen Huiwu in puzzlement.

"Little Shen?"

"Didn’t I tell you not to call unless it was urgent? This mission concerns the establishment of our people’s fourteenth city!"

"You’ve been calling all day. Out with it—this better be important."

Little Shen?

Anyone familiar with Shen Huiwu would be shocked to hear him addressed so.

He was known as the Roaring Lord—a nickname earned from his skillset and his infamous temper.

Anyone daring to call him "Little Shen" would usually be in for a fierce confrontation!

But now, Shen Huiwu not only wasn’t angry—he actually smiled, seemingly unbothered by the address.

"My lord, today a super S-rank student emerged from our Third Academy!"

"I’ve come to request a special resource for him."

The city lord frowned, clearly displeased.

"That’s it? Can’t you just allocate the minimum for now?"

"Please, my lord, why not try guessing his profession?"

Shen Huiwu seemed to have anticipated the response, and now teased, shaking his head with a mysterious air.

But the city lord was in no mood for games. His expression darkened.

"Guess his profession?"

"You’ve grown too complacent, spending all your time in the city. Have you forgotten our people’s predicament?"

"You have one minute to explain."

"If you can’t give me a good reason, next year you’ll be leading the entire wilderness purging campaign yourself."

Realizing the lord was not joking, Shen Huiwu broke into a cold sweat, abandoning all pretense.

"No, please, my lord, I was only joking!"

"Today was Awakening Day, wasn’t it? We had a student named Song Qi—he awakened a super S-rank talent, and his class is Summoner!"

The city lord nodded, unimpressed.

"And?"

Super S-rank talents were rare, and there hadn’t been one in the Seventh District for years.

But as city lord, he’d seen at least seven or eight thousand such talents in his time.

He himself possessed a super S-rank talent.

It was not enough to catch his attention.

Even as a Summoner, it was unremarkable.

"What’s more, his first summoned creature was a mythic-grade humanoid summon!"

"Mythic-grade?!"

At this, the city lord’s demeanor changed.

He’d seen many Summoners, but never one with a summon of such caliber.

"Mythic-grade, huh?"

"So what are the summon’s exact stats and skills? Have you seen them?"

The city lord pondered briefly before asking.

"Level one. All attributes 99. Comes with four skills!"

Shen Huiwu spoke with utmost confidence, offering only the bare numbers—he didn’t even mention the skills.

"...?"

The city lord froze, his pupils dilating wildly, excitement plain on his face.

"Ninety-nine points in every stat at level one?!"

"Are you sure you’re not joking? Or were you drunk at the time?"

"Think carefully, Shen Huiwu! This is no laughing matter!"

His shock was tinged with disbelief.

Could a mythic summon truly be that powerful?

"I stake my life on it!"

Shen Huiwu replied solemnly.

At this, the city lord fell silent.

"..."

"Three days from now—no, the day after tomorrow! I’ll return the day after tomorrow!"

"Until then, protect that child."

Shen Huiwu broke into a wide grin.

He knew—the city lord was finally taking this seriously.

"You can count on me!"
