Chapter 71: Kui Drum, Thunder Beast Mallet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Long ago… There lived a wild creature that roamed Mount Liubo, its name was Kui. It almost looked like an ox, but it had a green body and no horns. Oddly enough, it traveled around the mountain with only one foot. When it roared, its rumble could be heard for miles, as if thunder stuck. The Emperor got wind of this creature and ordered his men to capture it at once. He made his men make a drum out of its skin and sticks out of its bones. Till this day, some say they can still hear the sound of rhythmic drums being played by the Emperor to intimidate others of his presence.

Within the formation barrier, the green-skinned drum was about half the size of a washbasin. The drum’s surface seemed like it was made of an animal with green skin.

On the taut and flat green beast skin, there were strange and mysterious patterns.

These patterns looked like a group of serpents being entangled and were enraged.

“This is a natural lightning mark!”

Chu Lingjun’s pupils trembled!

When he got close to the small green drum, he heard a low and majestic roar!

Blue electric arcs flashed in the air and splattered in all directions, but they were immediately blocked by the protective array.

This green-skinned drum had the lightning attribute!

The same was true for the pale stick beside the green drum. The closer Chu Lingjun approached it, the more uncontrollable the power of lightning in his body suddenly became!

The stick looked like a piece of bone from some kind of mutated beast.

“I almost forgot about this set, we really have too many weapons here. Fortunately, you found them yourself. These two spirit weapons suit you very well.”

Shen Yanhu also walked over.

“Sir, what are they?” Chu Lingjun hurriedly asked with a burning passion.

“This is the Kui Drum and the Thunder Beast Mallet.”

“What?” Chu Lingjun was shocked. “The mythical Kui and the legendary Thunder Beast?”

Shen Yanhu smiled. “These two are only imitations, and they were made from their bloodline descendants. It’s just like how the weeping monster is the descendant of Taotie.”

Chu Lingjun was enlightened!

If it was really a weapon refined from Kui and a Thunder Beast, how could it only be a Rank One spirit weapon? Why would it be placed here?

Even if it was placed here, the school’s array would not be able to suppress it!

“Do you want to give it a try?”

“Yes!” Chu Lingjun’s interest was scorching hot.

Shen Yanhu took out a specially made jade talisman and placed it on the magic formation barrier. As soon as the two came into contact, a buzzing sound ensued. A large number of mysterious runes extended from the jade talisman and enveloped the barrier.

The ground rumbled, and the array barrier slowly disappeared.

Chu Lingjun picked up the Kui Drum. The drum was made of Kui’s hide, and the drum body was made of a special bone.

As he stroked the hide with his hand, he felt a rough rustle — electric arcs shot out, connecting his fingertips to the drum.

“The bloodline descendants of Kui are usually called One-legged Thunder Cows.

“We usually call the Thunder Beast’s bloodline descendants Big-bellied Snakes.

“The Kui Drum and Thunder Beast Mallet are made from a One-legged Thunder Cow and a Big-bellied Snake.

“As the descendants, the spirit weapons made from these two types of mutated beasts are somewhat mystical.

“Although they’re rank one spirit weapons, they can contain Rank Two lightning because of the quality of the raw materials

“In other words, you can use these two spirit weapons even when you reach

Second Rank, which saves you the trouble of changing spirit weapons.”

Chu Lingjun looked at the two spirit weapons in front of him in delight. ‘How did the bones turn into a mallet? Forget it, it doesn’t need to make sense… I want it!’

Shen Yanhu continued, “Secondly, this Kui Drum can accumulate the power of lightning. It’s like a storage room. You can store lightning into it when you have excess. Then, when you need it, you can release it all at once. It can be used as a trump card to change the tide of the battle.”

Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up. This Kui Drum was really tempting!

However… Chu Lingjun’s eyes moved, and he slowly looked at the Thunder Beast Mallet beside him with a burning gaze.

If he used the Thunder Beast Mallet to beat the Kui Drum, how powerful would the combination be?

Shen Yanhu also noticed Chu Lingjun’s gaze and scoffed!

Wasn’t this kid too greedy?

“Sir, if you really think about it, I’ve helped our class get first place twice in a row. It’s not too much for me to get two spiritual weapons at once, right?” Chu Lingjun said shamelessly.

“You brat!” Shen Yanhu really didn’t know how to answer Chu Lingjun.

However, Shen Yanhu thought about it and called the principal.

“There’s no harm in asking. If the principal is willing to give it to you, then so be it.” Shen Yanhu decided to throw the blame to someone else.

“Thank you, sir!”

The call was quickly picked up.

Shen Yanhu asked his question, and the other party paused for a moment before replying.

Shen Yanhu hung up the phone and looked at Chu Lingjun meaningfully.

“Did the principal agree?” Chu Lingjun took in Shen Yanhu’s expression and said in surprise and anticipation.

“The principal said that the two spirit weapons have been here for several years. If you want them, you can have them. However, you must also get first place in the next monthly examination to get them both.”

“Haha, no problem, that’ll be simple!” Chu Lingjun hurriedly replied.

Shen Yanhu shook his head with a smile. He understood why the principal was willing to give these two weapons to Chu Lingjun.

Although the probability of espers awakening was only ten percent, those who were suitable for battle and could be used for battle only had a one to five percent chance of surviving.

For someone like Chu Lingjun who had awakened his superpowers, the chances were even lower — it was less than one in a thousand or one in ten thousand.

Because these two magic tools were of the lightning attribute, not many people were compatible with them. It was even covered in dust for not being chosen for several years.

Now, there was finally someone who could use them, and that was Chu Lingjun.

From another perspective, Chu Lingjun was the only one in Quicksand High

School who had awakened his lightning superpower!

This was also the reason why the principal was being so generous. In addition, Chu Lingjun’s performance only keeps improving. He obtained first place in two consecutive monthly exams. The principal also had a heart of cherishing talents. With a wave of his hand, he gave the approval to Chu Lingjun.

Of course, appropriate restrictions were necessary, so there was a condition that Chu Lingjun had to get first place in next month’s monthly examination to get the weapons.

Chu Lingjun gladly accepted this condition.

With his current cultivation speed, getting first place would be a piece of cake for him!

Shen Yanhu placed the special jade talisman on the protective array. With another rumble, the protective array disappeared.

Chu Lingjun picked up the Thunder Beast’s Mallet continuously. This mallet was about the size of half of Chu Lingjun’s arm and was as thick as a thumb.

The mallet was golden in color and shone brightly in his hand.

The body of the mallet was also naturally covered with lightning runes, and its spirituality was hidden.

When Chu Lingjun held the mallet in his right hand, bolts of lightning crackled. It struck Chu Lingjun’s hand, as if it was trying to repel Chu Lingjun’s ownership.

Chu Lingjun remained unmoved and clenched his right hand.

After a while, the Thunder Beast Mallet acknowledged Chu Lingjun’s power. The lightning on the mallet slowly disappeared, and there were no more complaints, allowing Chu Lingjun to hold it..
