Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 9 - Sickle

"Ah, this weapon is quite unique."Elder Gusen pointed to a scythe in the corner and said,"Although it is made of the highest quality crimson ore compared to other weapons, it has been placed there alone since I took charge of this place. , no one ever cared."

Gu Ling stepped forward curiously and gently slid his fingers over the dark handle of the sickle. He looked up at the curved and sharp blade. Suddenly, the blade trembled slightly and cut him.

"hiss!"Gu Ling gasped, and the tingling sensation on his fingertips made him frown slightly. He didn't expect this weapon to be so sharp, and it left a wound just by touching it. It's conceivable that if he was struck by this sickle with all his strength, Cut it, the consequences will be disastrous

"What a shame this weapon was made."Elder Gusen shook his head and said,"Crimsonite ore is rare and is usually only used for the creation of core-forming weapons. I really don't understand why someone would make such a weapon out of such high-grade materials."

Gu Ling looked carefully at this unique sickle. The six-kilometer-long handle ended with a three-kilometer-long curved blade. The sharp three-pronged design on the back of the blade and the spear-like protrusion on the top of the blade all looked particularly special. ferocious

"Why hasn't anyone chosen this weapon before? Gu Ling asked curiously. Judging from the appearance alone, this sickle seems to be beyond the scope of the Mist Creation level.

"There are two reasons."Elder Gusen explained,"First of all, as a weapon, the sickle is not very practical. It is far more difficult to use than a sword or spear and requires extremely high skills. Secondly, the material of this sickle is too heavy. For us Mist Creation level practitioners, it is too heavy and difficult to control."

Gu Ling stared at the sickle and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and held the handle of the sickle tightly.

Slowly, inch by inch, the sickle slowly rose from the shelf. Gu Ling gritted his teeth, Trying his best to hold the giant weapon steady."I...don't...believe...that I can't...pick...you.""He roared with difficulty. After struggling for fifteen seconds, Gu Ling finally managed to raise the sickle to the height of his waist.

"Bang!"With a muffled sound, the sickle hit the floor heavily. Elder Gusen shook his head helplessly and pointed to the sickle on the ground:"Look, I said this weapon is not suitable for you. It is not easy to lift it in the field of blood refining."

Gu Ling stared at the sickle and couldn't take his eyes away for a long time. For some reason, he was deeply attracted to it from the moment he saw it for the first time. This was not just because of the sickle itself, but also because of the sickle itself. When Ling saw it, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

Although Gu Ling had learned how to use a sickle in previous weapons training projects, he had never had much experience with this weapon. In his opinion, the sickle is too bulky and not as flexible as other weapons. However, at this moment, Gu Ling felt an unprecedented sense of intimacy

"Elder Gusen, can I take this sickle away?"Gu Ling asked softly. He didn't know why he made such a request, but deep down he wanted this weapon.

Old Gu Sen glanced at Gu Ling, and then looked at the sickle abandoned in the corner. , pondered for a moment and said:"Based on your current cultivation stage, you usually cannot choose such a fog-level weapon....But because of your connection with this weapon, I will make an exception this time."

"Thank you, elder."Gu Ling thanked Old Gusen gratefully, and then walked towards the sickle. He gently stroked the handle and blade, as if feeling its unique charm, and then put it into the storage ring.

"Now I have two handy weapons. The greatsword is suitable for melee combat, while the scythe is suitable for breaking through the realm of mist creation. Gu Ling thought secretly in his heart.

Then, Gu Ling followed Lao Gusen back downstairs, and before leaving, he once again expressed his gratitude to Lao Gusen.

"I have practiced scythe martial arts on previous floors, but I still don't know much about this weapon. I wonder if Bai Ling Martial Arts Museum has any books on basic scythe martial arts? I searched carefully on the first two and a half floors, but couldn't seem to find any information on this. Gu Ling thought in his mind and walked towards the military library.

A few minutes later, Gu Ling arrived in front of the library. He stepped into the door and walked straight to the service desk.

"Excuse me, does this library have any books on sickle martial arts and basic principles?"Gu Ling asked the staff at the service desk. The man raised his head, looked at Gu Ling with slight surprise and said,"Yes, in the weapons area on the fourth floor, there is a book about the basic principles of the sickle."

"Thank you so much."After Gu Ling thanked him, he quickly walked towards the fourth floor. After arriving on the fourth floor, he quickly found the book about the sickle. Standing on the balcony of the fourth floor, overlooking the military training area below, Gu Ling Opened the first page of the book

"The fundamentals of the scythe are both simple and profound. The core of its fighting style lies in the combination of sharpness and smoothness. Agility, strength, speed and decisiveness - these qualities together make up the unique charm of the scythe. Unlike other weapons that rely on inheritance and artistry, the scythe focuses on only one thing - harvesting life.……"

When Gu Ling read this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This book has detailed descriptions from basic postures to complex attack trajectories. He was engrossed in reading the contents of the book, completely forgetting the passage of time.

Gu Ling came back to his senses and found that the bright moon was already hanging high in the night sky, shedding soft moonlight. He stretched his sore legs, stood up, strode back to the library, and put the books back in their place.

After returning home, Gu Ling had dinner with his family and then returned to the bedroom to rest

"Tomorrow, I'll be back in the forest to really test my new powers."Gu Ling thought so in his mind as he slowly fell asleep.

Gu Ling found himself floating in the void space again, but unlike the void in the palace, there was no mist blocking his sight in the space here. In all directions , Gu Ling could see the flickering light, extending to the endless distance.

In the void thousands of miles away, Gu Ling could barely make out two blurry figures floating there, staring at each other. Although he could not see them clearly features, Gu Ling could clearly perceive two figures floating in the darkness.

Suddenly, an indescribable explosion shook the entire space, bursting out from where the two figures were. Gu Ling witnessed it with his own eyes The collapse and disintegration of space, the destructive force of the explosion destroyed everything it touched, even himself.

Gu Ling suddenly woke up from his dream, gasping and sitting up from the bed."Ah!"The screams echoed in the empty room.

He took a few seconds to calm down, observe his surroundings, and then realized that this was just a dream. But this dream was so real, as if he was in it, and everything in the dream seemed to be real. happened."How could this happen?……"Gu Ling murmured to himself.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gu Ling was immersed in the dream just now. The shocking explosion and the power that destroyed everything seemed to really exist. He shook his head, trying to push these thoughts away.

After getting up and washing up, Gu Ling walked to the closet, took out his favorite black robe and put it on. Recalling the compliment he had given his mother in front of the closet, a smile appeared on his lips.

After getting ready, Gu Ling went downstairs to have breakfast with his family."Gu Ling, what are your plans today?" Gu Yingying looked at her son and asked gently.

Gu Ling replied while eating breakfast:"I plan to go to the library again today or to the training area. I got some new weapons and want to try them out."

"Oh, weapons."Gu Yingying warned,"Be careful when using weapons so as not to hurt yourself. The family will hold a celebration banquet for you tonight. Remember to go home and freshen up before dark."

Gu Ling nodded, indicating that he had remembered his mother's instructions. After eating breakfast, he thanked his mother and left home.

Walking towards the military training area, Gu Ling looked back from time to time. After confirming that he was not being followed, he He turned around and walked towards the tribe gate.

After walking for a while, Gu Ling arrived at the gate of the Gu clan. He greeted the guards at the door:"Good morning, you two.""

"Gu Ling, do you still plan to go to the forest today?" asked a guard

"Yes. Gu Ling replied,"But please don't tell anyone else."" He smiled and said goodbye to the guards, then passed through the gate and walked along the wide road away from the tribe. The

Sky Crack Mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers, and the Gu Clan family is located at the foot of one of the mountains. They have cleared the surrounding area A large tract of land. The road from the ancient clan family eventually forked into multiple directions, leading to different families and kingdoms. However, each road passed through the Sky Crack Forest without proper protection measures. This was an extraordinary journey.A dangerous journey.

About an hour later, Gu Ling came to a fork in the road. At this time, he has gone deep into the Sky Crack Forest, and most of the beasts around him are body-refined level
