157: 157.
Flying Sword Acquired 157: 157.
Flying Sword Acquired Returning to his room, Lu Li lit two sticks of Calming Incense to recover his spirit.
Operating 7 Alloy Swords alone was quite draining.
He massaged his brow and sent a message to Jessica: “Come help me edit the video.”
He had shot lots of footage that needed editing, especially some bloody scenes.
It also had to be set to music to achieve the best viewing experience, enticing viewers to willingly offer their Wish Power.
Soon after, Jessica arrived.
“Hehe, Golden Canary is in my room~”
She said with a strange laugh as she arrived:
“Golden Canary should have consoled Eagle, but having been rejected, felt too embarrassed and decided to spend the night hiding out in my room~”
Lu Li nodded without much reaction, “Then you two sleep together.”
Jessica was pleased with his reply, smiling radiantly:
“Actually, she’s really nice, kind-hearted and gentle, nothing like a typical aristocratic lady’s bad temper.”
While Jessica spoke well of her, she simultaneously picked up her phone and began editing.
Meanwhile, Lu Li opened the case to examine the 7 Alloy Swords.
The sword bodies pulsed with a heartbeat-like blue glow, but the light was gradually fading and slowly extinguishing, the mystique not apparent.
Seeing this, Lu Li’s face lit up, “Oh, it got absorbed!”
The 7 Alloy Swords had consumed his spirit, indicating they were at a transformative stage and needed an energy boost.
Without a second thought, Lu Li transferred 70% of his spirit to them.
The sword bodies lit up with a blue glow once more.
That’s when Jessica said, “I think you should give them names, to make them more recognizable.”
“That’s a good suggestion!”
Lu Li was quite intrigued and arranged the 7 swords by their historical era.
He first picked up one styled like a Bronze Sword from the Warring States Period, saying:
“Heavy and powerful, let’s call it ‘Mountain Breaker’!”
Then he picked up one styled like a Han Sword, saying:
“The patterns on the sword body are beautiful, ‘Painting Shadow'”
Next, he picked up one from the Sui and Tang Period, saying:
“The sword light is clear and cold as frost and snow, ‘Qing Shuang'”
The fourth, which looked very much like a modern sword and seemed quite plain, rang clear when Lu Li plucked it twice.
“‘Hongming'”
Jessica incorporated the sword names into the video and then asked:
“What about these three unusual-looking ones?”
Lu Li picked up the one styled like the Eastern Wind 17, saying, “‘Peace Country'”
Finally, glancing at the two with tri-edged stabber designs, he said, “‘Blood Drink, Jiuqu'”
With this, the seven swords were named.
Jessica also finished editing the video and showed it to Lu Li.
The result was impressive; the piercing sharpness of the Flying Swords was undeniable, and with no bloody scenes, it was sure to pass censorship everywhere.
“Let’s only post it on local platforms, foreigners aren’t interested in Flying Swords and won’t offer much support.”
“Okay, then I’ll post it.”
Jessica immediately uploaded the video.
At that time, it was eight or nine in the morning in Xia Country across the ocean.
On subways, buses, and at workstation spots, many people were scrolling through their phones.
Following the popularity of the last video, the system automatically pushed the new one.
“Oh, more Flying Swords and they have names now?”
“Peace Country and Jiuqu look cool!”
“So impressive, it went right through people…
How was this shot?
It looks so real!”
As anticipated, a massive amount of Wish Power surged in.
However, what surprised Lu Li was that, with names, the Wish Power had a clearer vessel and intensified many times over!
The incoming Spiritual Power even gave him a faint sensation.
He quickly opened his Heavenly Eye and saw seven funnel-shaped beams of light in the clouds, falling onto the 7 Alloy Swords!
At that moment, they all simultaneously began to buzz and tremble.
The 7 alloy swords were in the stage of transforming into Flying Swords, but as the saying goes, “the last leg of the journey is the hardest to complete.”
Especially since there were as many as 7 swords, it could even take several months if luck was not on their side.
Unexpectedly, after Jessica’s reminder, Lu Li had a stroke of inspiration and named them.
Instantly, the seven alloy swords easily crossed that threshold and became true—Flying Swords!
Cold light flashed upon the seven Flying Swords, and the sound of something shattering echoed through the void.
The next second, the seven Flying Swords shot towards Lu Li, lovingly circling around him.
The transformation of the Flying Swords relied on Lu Li’s Spirit, naturally creating a mutual understanding of intentions.
With a gesture of his hand, the seven Flying Swords shot towards the TV in the room!
Just as they were about to hit, they abruptly turned and flew back, moving as flexibly as swimming fish.
“Indeed impressive!!”
Lu Li was very excited!
Not only were the Flying Swords powerful, but more importantly, they were sentient!
Charged up with “power,” there was no need for him to control them during a fight, essentially giving him seven additional helpers!
But he couldn’t get too excited, this was just the beginning with the Flying Swords.
Mastering “Sword Control,” enhancing the speed and lethality of the Flying Swords, there was still a long way to go.
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Li hugged Jessica and said gratefully, “Thanks to your suggestion.”
“Haha~ I’m awesome, right~” Jessica was delighted.
Lu Li said, “Pick one of these seven Flying Swords to defend yourself.”
“This is your treasure, I don’t want it.” Jessica shook her head firmly.
Lu Li said casually, “It’s not hard to make, just pick one and I’ll make another one.”
Jessica kissed him and laughed, “Then wait until you make a new one for me, just for me, I’m not in a hurry.”
“Alright then.”
Lu Li didn’t insist further, deciding he would make a more suitable one for the young girl when he had the chance.
Though Jessica didn’t take a Flying Sword, she felt the love from Lu Li and it made her heart sweet.
She also realized her importance in Lu Li’s heart, knowing she didn’t need to worry or feel jealous.
At that moment, Lu Li was about to put the Flying Swords in a box.
But now sentient, they didn’t want to be confined, darting around the room, refusing to enter the box.
Jessica had also finished editing Ah Da’s video.
The focus was on the Terminator’s metallic head, unharmed by bullets, which was the most identifiable feature.
After sending the video out, Jessica stretched and said, “I’m sleepy, going to sleep first.”
“Bye, rest early.”
After the young girl left, Lu Li went all over catching the Flying Swords.
Luckily, they had used up most of their strength during the transformation, and soon ran out of energy, all getting caught into the box.
Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief, just about to close the box, but sensed their sullen mood.
“Forget it, you guys can stay outside, but you’ll have to obediently get into the box when needed.”
The Flying Swords emanated a feeling of joy and flew to the window to enjoy the view.
The Flying Swords refined with the power of heartfelt wishes were extraordinarily sentient.
Lu Li lay on his bed, feeling today was indeed a wonderful day.
At that moment, the electronic sound of a key card opening the door echoed.
Jessica had his room card, but the person who came in was Teresa, carrying the fresh scent of a shower.
The Flying Swords were already hidden under the bed, and Lu Li said, “You don’t have to force yourself.”
Teresa, with her head lowered, said, “From the beginning to end, I wasn’t forcing myself, you don’t need to feel any psychological pressure.”
“But you…”
Lu Li thought about how she never let him kiss her, didn’t want to stay long, and would quickly leave, always seeming reluctant.
Teresa smiled and said, “Jessica kindly informed me, and I understand your troubles now.
I’m sorry, it was not my intention to be like this.”
As she spoke, she slowly lay next to Lu Li.
“In fact, my body doesn’t belong to me, and I don’t know what may happen in the future, that’s why I might seem a bit odd.
But I can assure you, I’m not forcing myself at all, and I do enjoy our time together, these beautiful memories will stay with me for a lifetime.”
The girl removed her hairpin and whispered softly,
“From now on, you can do whatever you want, just don’t hurt me.”
