Strike!

Despite having put a lot of strength, the Chi Xiao Sword didn't budge.

Confused, Chu Liuyue took a closer look at it. It's not rusty at all… Why can't I pull it out?

She then gritted her teeth and tried harder this time.

The Chi Xiao Sword showed no response though—it was like the sword was stuck in the sheath. No matter how hard Chu Liuyue tried, she just couldn't get it out.

After numerous failed attempts, Shangguan Jing said, "Stop wasting your energy. This sword can't be used until its weapon soul is refined."

Chu Liuyue's eyes bulged. "What?! So I won't be able to use it if I don't refine the weapon soul?"

Shangguan Jing gave the question some thought before saying in all seriousness, "Hm… That seems to be the case. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Long Yuan Sword's sword soul has been transferred into this sword. This means that… the Long Yuan Sword is now useless."
