Chapter 371 - 371 Star weapons

Nodding his head inside the "Stone of Time", Little Black then continued

""Right, master! Above the gold-grade is the star-rank.

Star weapons are extremely powerful weapons that only Dao Emperors and above would normally wield.

Unlike bronze, silver, or even gold-grade weapons, star-rank weapons are considered to be on a tier of their own.

After all, each star-rank weapon has a small part of a certain Dao infused inside it when it is created, making the person who wields that weapon, be able to draw the strength of that Dao as well.

It"s not an exaggeration to say that a thousand rank 3 gold grade weapons can"t even compare to a single star rank.""

Waves of shock filled Shun Long"s heart the moment that he heard Little Black"s explanation.

""A small part of the Dao?""

As this thought flashed through his mind, Shun Long closed his eyes before he sent his spirit sense inside the star rank weapons in front of him, in an attempt to sense the Dao inside it.

The moment that Shun Long"s spirit sense entered inside the black sword, Liu Mei saw the various patterns on the sword"s surface lit up, as sparks of lightning covered the sword"s surface.

""The Dao of Lightning!"" Shun Long mumbled to himself in a voice filled with disbelief, before he retracted his spirit sense from the black sword.

""There really is a Dao hidden inside a star-rank weapon!""

At the same time, Shun Long could sense that the Dao of Lightning inside the sword was definitely extremely strong!

Curiosity had also filled Liu Mei"s stunning black eyes as she stared at the lightning sword in front of her.

At the same time, Shun Long sent his spirit sense inside the translucent armor, curious about the type of Dao that was contained inside it.

This time however, Shun Long wasn"t able to recognize the Dao inside the armor.

Although he could feel that it was some kind of abnormal energy, he was unable to identify what it was.

Seemingly as if he could sense Shun Long"s puzzlement, Little Black"s voice that had hints of surprise inside it once again sounded in Shun Long"s head

""Master, this is an extremely rare Dao called the "Dao of Reflection"!

The armor in master"s hands was definitely created by a Dao Emperor who had insights in the Dao of Reflection!

It"s too bad that that person"s comprehension wasn"t deep enough, otherwise this armor may had even managed to become a 2-star weapon.

It is actually a life-saving treasure for any cultivator below the Dao Emperor realm, as it should actually be able to weaken any attack that doesn"t come from a Dao Emperor by 30 percent.

Of course, if someone"s comprehension of the Dao has actually exceeded the Dao Emperor"s who created this armor, then the Dao of Reflection inside the armor will be useless in front of them, making it just slightly better than a peak rank 3 gold-grade armor!""

Shun Long was still shocked when he heard about the armor"s ability.

Reflecting 30 percent of someone"s attack? Wouldn"t that mean that whoever was wearing this armor would have their survivability increased by many times?

After all, even without the Dao of Reflection, the translucent armor in front of Shun Long was still stronger than a peak rank 3 gold-grade armor!

Shun Long hadn"t even seen a peak rank 3 gold-grade weapon before, and yet, there were 2 of them in front of him and Liu Mei right now.

After explaining to Liu Mei what he had learned about the star-rank weapons from Little Black, Shun Long said

""Mei"er, you should keep both this black sword and the armor.

Since I am also a body refiner, I am not in as much danger of dying as you are.

Additionally, there should only be 2 months until the test of that so-called Holy sect starts.

We also don"t know how dangerous the test will be or what it will contain, making the situation even more dangerous.

As for the black sword, since you are more proficient in using swords than I am, it"s better for you to have it anyway.""

Liu Mei instinctively wanted to refuse, but she knew that Shun Long"s words made sense.

She was indeed in much more danger of dying compared to Shun Long, even though she had an army of skeletons and undead knights at her command.

At the same time, during the past 2 years of training in the "Ten thousand beasts" mountain range", Liu Mei had also realized her own weakness.

It was sneak attacks!

Although her skeletons and undead knights could take care of any cultivator at the same level as Liu Mei, or even those who were stronger than her with their sheer numbers, if Liu Mei didn"t have her army around her, she was at most, as strong as a weak peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator.

However, the moment that Shun Long finished his words, Little Black stared at the black sword from the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time", before he said in a serious voice

""Master, although it"s fine to give her the armor with the Dao of Reflection, master should still hold that black sword.

The Dao inside it is the Dao of Lightning, while Liu Mei"s Dao, is the Dao of Death.

The Dao of Lightning and the Dao of Death are naturally opposing Daos and they don"t mesh well with each other.

Instead, they both counter each other to a certain extent!

Not only would it not help Liu Mei to have this sword, but it could instead weaken the strength of her undead creatures!""

During the past 2 years that Shun Long and Liu Mei had trained inside the "Ten thousand beasts" mountain range", and since Liu Mei had followed Shun Long inside the "Dragon Lord"s villa", Little Black no longer felt aversion towards "this human", as he started to slowly accept her existence in Shun Long"s life.

Once Liu Mei heard that the black sword may weaken her skeletons and her undead knights, she didn"t even wish to so much as touch it.

After all, for a cultivator, their own Dao was the most important thing.

Nodding his head, Shun Long placed the black sword to the side, before he took out the wooden c.h.e.s.t from the "Stone of Time" and placed it in front of him.
