Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 25 respectively

"alright."

Guhe extracted a purplish-gray flame from the ashes of the decaying wood, sealed it in a transparent jade bottle, and then handed it to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Although this Wood Poison Fire is a fifth-tier beast fire, like the Peach Blossom Fire, it is not known for its power. However, since you are of the poison attribute rather than the fire attribute, fusing with a beast fire is not so simple. So wait until you break through to the Battle Master realm before trying to refine it."

Taking the jade bottle, Little Fairy Doctor smiled. She said to Gu He, "Understood, thank you, Senior Gu He."

"Phew!" Guhe breathed a sigh of relief, flicked his sleeve and unleashed a palm strike, scattering the remaining ashes on the ground.

"You've achieved your goal. Now go back. Going deeper into the Monster Mountain Range is still too dangerous for you little guys." After giving the three instructions, Guhe prepared to turn and leave.

"Senior Guhe, please wait a moment." At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up and called out to Guhe.

Under Gu He's slightly questioning gaze, Huo Yuhao took out several weapons from his storage ring. Meeting Gu He's gaze, Huo Yuhao explained, "These are... weapons I obtained by chance in a ruin. Although they are not inlaid with magic cores, they are much harder and sharper than ordinary fine steel weapons."

Gu He hadn't intended to accept Huo Yuhao's gift, but seeing that it was just some "ordinary" weapons, he figured it was a token of goodwill, so he casually took one of the short swords and swung it around a couple of times.

As was his habit, Guhe infused it with a trace of fighting spirit.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling, intense white light burst forth from the short sword in his hand.

"what!"

The short sword fell to the ground. Gu He rubbed his eyes vigorously, two tears streaming down his face. After a long while, his eyes finally felt a little better. Gu He lowered his hand, staring with bloodshot eyes at the three people who had somehow put on black glasses. His voice was filled with barely concealed resentment.

"What is this thing?!"

"These are sunglasses, a little gadget from my hometown." Xiao Yan handed Gu He a pair of sunglasses with a grin. "Brother Gu He, wearing these sunglasses will protect you from strong light and make you look cool." Just as Xiao Yan was imagining Gu He in a smart outfit, wearing sunglasses, about to show off his cool and stylish side, pink flames suddenly erupted from his body, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"That's not what I'm asking!" Gu He ignored Xiao Yan's barely suppressed smile. After his resentment subsided slightly, Gu He seemed to realize something and tried out each of the weapons Huo Yuhao had taken out.

"This sword can unleash sword light... that one can generate vibrational power... this one contains double hidden force..." Huo Yuhao calmly introduced the characteristics of each weapon from the side.

"From ancient ruins?" Gu He looked at the several brand-new, gleaming weapons that showed no signs of age, his tone full of doubt.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao didn't explain that these weapons were actually modified from weapons belonging to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Because they couldn't effectively draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they couldn't be considered true spiritual weapons. However, they were engraved with some spiritual runes that Huo Yuhao had recently researched, so they had some value.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao took out three more longswords. This time, the swords had a faint spiritual light flowing around them and emitted a faint energy fluctuation. They were clearly three second-grade spiritual weapons.

"Senior Furukawa, you should be able to use these weapons."

At this moment, Gu He was playing with the special weapons with great interest. He quickly noticed that each weapon had different patterns, and guessed that these patterns were what gave the weapons their special abilities. However, this was only because Huo Yuhao hadn't intended to prevent theft, which allowed Gu He to see so clearly.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Gu He looked up and his gaze fell upon the long sword that emitted a faint spiritual light and drew wisps of heaven and earth energy. Gu He immediately dropped the "toy" in his hand and, just like when he first came into contact with alchemy, his eyes were filled with pure excitement as he eagerly moved forward.

"What abilities do these three longswords possess?"

Before Huo Yuhao could explain, Xiao Yan's voice rang out first.

"The red one can be used for grilling, the green one can be used for magic tricks, and the blue one—can be used to make chilled drinks."

Gu He reached out and pushed Xiao Yan's head to the side, his excitement undiminished as he kept his eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao.

"Yes, Xiao Yan is right."

Furukawa: "???"

"Senior Furukawa, you can try it yourself, but be careful not to do it in front of anyone."

Upon hearing this, Gu He grabbed the longsword that attracted him the most, which emitted a faint red light. Just as he was about to infuse it with Dou Qi and unleash a sword move, he suddenly stopped, picked up the sunglasses that Xiao Yan had just given him, fiddled with them for a moment, and put them on his face.

With a swing of his longsword, a massive flaming blade cleaved through the clouds, its flames lingering for a long time.

……

Unlike the previous weapons, the spirit patterns on these three magical artifacts disappeared from the surface shortly after they were forged. Only when battle qi was injected, resonating with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, would the faint patterns appear on the blades, making them extremely difficult for outsiders to decipher.

Watching Gu He wield his longsword and perform a series of sword moves, the flaming blade dancing in the wind, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. This was the power of a spiritual weapon; even a low-level spiritual weapon had virtually no upper limit. Unlike soul tools, whose power was limited by their level.

After practicing for a while, Gu He sheathed his longsword and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fine sword! This longsword has increased the power of my sword techniques by more than 20%! Does this sword... have a name?"

Then, his voice carried a hint of regret. "However, when using it to unleash battle techniques, the power increase is not significant; it merely reduces the consumption of battle qi by drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"It doesn't have a name yet."

"Why don't you take one, Brother Guhe?"

Gu He looked at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan and said, "Then let's call it the Flame Sword."

"Uh, what a common name."

Gu He carefully put away the Flame Sword and returned the other two spirit-weapon longswords to Huo Yuhao. "I won't stand on ceremony with you. I really like this sword, so I'll accept it. You can keep these two swords."

"Senior Guhe, you have helped us a lot along the way, please accept this. None of the three of us need swords." Huo Yuhao did not accept it, but insisted on giving it to Guhe.

"Yes, Senior Guhe, we didn't refuse the two beast flames you gave us."

"Brother Guhe, if you don't accept them, Yuhao will just leave these two swords here and do nothing. It would be a waste if you didn't take them."

Huo Yuhao and the other two tried to persuade him together. Gu He looked at the three little ones, and a more genuine smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Okay, then I'll accept it. Remember to look for me when you go to the capital."

Having said that, Gu He stopped refusing, put the two longswords into his storage ring, and then spread his battle qi wings and flew towards the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.

"Alright, let's find a safe place and see if the Devouring and Fusion Beast Fire can upgrade the Burning Technique." Yao Chen's figure appeared after Gu He left.

"But Yuhao, you're really generous." Yao Chen winked at Huo Yuhao. "At first, I thought you were just planning to give that kid those 'junk' items."

"After all, we owe Senior Guhe a favor, it wouldn't be right not to repay it," Huo Yuhao said softly. "Three second-grade spiritual artifacts are still a bit lacking in value."

"Bad? Yuhao, your spiritual weapon, while not unique, is certainly rare. Isn't it much more valuable than his two beast flames?" Yao Chen sighed. "Didn't you initially plan to give him the medicine cauldron you found in the cave?"

"You said that medicine cauldron is a high-grade medicine cauldron of the Medicine Clan. Would it be more appropriate to keep it or give it to Xiao Yan?"

"Tsk, I don't want to see that thing," Yao Chen muttered under his breath, his tone complicated.
