Beast Taming Patrol-Chapter 601 - 213: A Spirit Soldier with a Death Wish (Seeking Monthly Votes) - Part 3

Chapter 601: Chapter 213: A Spirit Soldier with a Death Wish (Seeking Monthly Votes) – Part 3

He had originally thought that the spirit weapon had been shattered by the aftermath of a battle.

Unexpectedly, it had destroyed itself here.

The bond between a spirit weapon and a warrior was so strong that it was truly moving.

If it had been a pet and a Beast Tamer, perhaps both could have achieved Guardian Beast Co-operation.

“If I take away all your fragments and piece you back together, find someone to help you return to your former peak condition, would you be willing to follow me?” Lin Su suddenly asked.

For some reason, seeing such a sentimental and righteous spirit weapon, he felt an urge to repair it.

...

“You cannot take them away.” The blade tip trembled lightly, showing little fluctuation at Lin Su’s words, “The handle fragments have already been taken by someone else.”

Someone had seized the opportunity of this place?

Lin Su blinked, somewhat taken aback.

It seemed Lu Ziye’s message wasn’t entirely accurate.

The genius who took the handle must have kept the secret of Ghost Fear Cliff to themselves.

Thus, others still believed that the opportunity within this place had never been discovered.

Now that the handle had been taken away, his desire to collect all the fragments and reassemble the sword was clearly impossible.

“You… can only take away one fragment,” the blade tip continued to tremble.

“Can everyone only take one?” Lin Su couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes.” The blade tip responded.

If that was the case, then there was nothing he could do.

He let out a sigh.

The blade and tip should be the strongest parts of a long sword.

So acquiring the tip, he was not at a loss.

“Even if you could collect all my fragments, I have no intention of reviving.” The blade tip trembled again, calmly conveying its thoughts, “I can strike once for you, with a might comparable to a Teng Kong Jiu Zhuan at full strength.”

“And after that strike…”

“Dust to dust, earth to earth.”

Lin Su frowned slightly.

This was a fragment of a spirit weapon, possessing its own spirit intelligence, and could be considered a living being.

Such an entity, to completely vanish after one action, was not what Lin Su wanted.

“What if I keep you and never require you to take action?” he couldn’t help but inquire.

“After the mural, there is a special space shelter, I can endure for a thousand years, but now that I have left, I cannot possibly exist for long.” The blade tip trembled ever so slightly, “At most three years, my consciousness will dissipate, and by then the fragments will become mere iron.”

A solemnity settled in Lin Su’s heart.

This was a sword without any lingering attachment to the world.

It did not even allow itself to be reforged.

This won’t do.

Lin Su’s temper flared.

In my hands, and you still want to end yourself?

“The world is so beautiful, if your master were still alive, wouldn’t they wish to see you remain here?” Lin Su cleared his throat, attempting to touch it with his words.

“The master once said, ‘If the sword lives, the person lives; if the sword dies, the person dies.'” The blade tip trembled lightly, not swayed at all by his words.

Lin Su: “…”

For a moment, he didn’t know how to persuade it further.

“Hum~” (Happy~)

While Lin Su was pondering how to convince it to give up this idea, Youyou suddenly buzzed.

For it, this was just everyday happiness.

But feeling Youyou’s mood, Lin Su suddenly had a new idea in his heart.

His eyes lit up slightly, he quickly looked at the blade tip, “Can you feel anything different about my spear?”

“A mere low-grade spirit weapon.” The blade tip trembled slightly, its words laced with a hint of disdain.

Clearly, even though it was broken, its spirit still held onto some sort of pride.

A spirit weapon so weak, it simply looked down upon.

“It’s not a low-quality spirit weapon, it’s not even a spirit weapon,” Lin Su said with a smile, “Don’t believe me? Why don’t you feel it carefully?”

“How could it not be a spirit weapon? I’ve already felt its frail spiritual intelligence.” The tip of the blade vibrated, carrying a trace of disdain, yet it still slowly flew toward Youyou.

This guy’s taken the bait!

The smile on Lin Su’s face grew even wider.

The tip of the blade gently touched Youyou’s spearhead.

At this moment, as the two weapons hummed, it seemed as if there was some sort of communication between them.

A moment later, the aura on the tip of the blade began to tremble violently like never before.

The tremor was unprecedented, and the residual spiritual intelligence within the blade seemed to be completely shocked by Youyou’s existence and form, to the point where the circulating blade light began to flicker unpredictably.

“This isn’t a spirit weapon… It’s a Guardian Beast?!” The blade suddenly sang out clearly, transmitting its thoughts amidst the humming noise.

The calm that seemed to see through life and death, that original indifference to everything, rapidly disappeared.

It was shocked.

Shocked to the point of questioning its very existence as a blade.

“Of course, it’s a Guardian Beast; otherwise, what would I, a Beast Tamer, want with a spirit weapon?” Lin Su chuckled, “It seems there are still things in this world that you care about!”

The tip of the blade fell silent.

It floated quietly in midair, its flickering light the only indication of its currently unsettled spirit.

“Take it to a Weapon Casting Master!” After a long while, the blade trembled again, “Once reforged by the life of a Weapon Casting Master, it will undergo another transformation, its future potential boundless!”

“I had a similar idea, but I’m planning to take it to the Spirit Transformation Pool,” Lin Su said with a smile upon seeing that the blade also thought Youyou needed to try becoming a spirit weapon.

The blade knew nothing of the Spirit Transformation Pool, so Lin Su patiently explained it to it.

After listening to Lin Su’s explanation, the tip of the blade fell silent again.

The brilliance on the tip of the blade flickered even more violently.

It took a good while before the blade trembled once more.

“On the day of Spirit Transformation, I will erase my own consciousness, gift my spirit to it, and integrate the blade tip into the spearhead.”

“To aid it…”

“To become a living being!”

Eh?

Lin Su blinked.

This wasn’t quite what he had in mind.

He had originally intended to use Youyou’s situation to awaken the other’s lingering attachment to the world.

How did it turn out like this?

When a spirit weapon communicates its thoughts with others, it does not lie.

So, the blade before him was truly prepared to sacrifice itself for Youyou’s sake.

“But what about you?” Lin Su couldn’t help but ask.

“I… have long been dead,” the blade tip trembled lightly.

Lin Su fell silent.

He looked at Youyou.

If the blade tip erased its own consciousness and merged all that it was into Youyou, could that be considered a kind of rebirth?

In comparison to other outcomes, this seemed like the best choice.

And indeed, this would be of great benefit to Youyou.

After all, he was still somewhat selfish.

“Thank you,” Lin Su looked deeply at the blade tip, gently reaching out to stroke its side, “You say you don’t have a name now, but can you tell me what your name was before?”

The blade tip suddenly burst forth with a fierce aura.

As if a divine weapon had reappeared in the world.

“High-grade spirit weapon, Zong Yuan!”
