Chapter Thirty-Four: The Moon-Supporting Heaven-Breaking Halberd

Su Xue'er stared blankly at the shattered pieces of the Purple Jade Sword on the table, feeling deeply lost and heartbroken.

Tang Ruoyu and Shen Zixuan sat on either side of her, unsure of how to console her, so they could only silently share her burden.

At that moment, Yushi walked in, and upon seeing him, Shen Zixuan and Tang Ruoyu quietly left.

After they left, Yushi sat beside Su Xue'er and comforted her, "Xue'er, it's okay. I'll get you an even better sword."

"Yushi, can it be reforged?" Su Xue'er's tone was somewhat heartbreaking. Anyone else might not understand why Su Xue'er was so sad, but Yushi had to know. It was because this was the first gift he had ever given her, and it held extraordinary significance for her.

"It can, but it will take a long time. For the upcoming matches, you should use my sword," Yushi replied.

"It's okay. I still have spiritual weapons. If I use your spiritual weapon, there will be disputes among the spectators."

Seeing Su Xue'er's tone soften slightly, Yushi felt a bit of joy in his heart. Su Xue'er continued, "Yushi, do you have any halberd techniques?"

"I do. What do you need them for?" Yushi asked.

"I have a spiritual weapon that is a halberd, so I want to practice a new technique in the next few days."

Since it would take four days to complete the top four battles, with each match taking one day, plus five days of rest afterward, Su Xue'er had eight days until her next match.

After giving it some thought, Yushi said, "I have a technique suitable for the lightning attribute called the Dragon Moon Thunder Technique. This technique allows the halberd to stab like a spear, slash like a sword, and smash like a cudgel, as flexible as a sword. It also has a particularly powerful move called the Dragon Roar Thunder God."

With that, he sent someone to fetch it. While waiting for the technique to be retrieved, Yushi hugged Su Xue'er tightly. He lowered his head to look at Su Xue'er's delicate face and kissed her forehead, whispering, "I will definitely transform the Purple Jade Sword into the top-tier sword."

Once Su Xue'er received the Dragon Moon Thunder Technique, Yushi settled her down and left with the shattered pieces of the Purple Jade Sword. After Yushi left, Su Xue'er began practicing relentlessly.

Yushi went to the Spirit Weapon Pavilion, a place specifically for forging spiritual weapons in the Ling Shi House. Inside, he found the strongest weapon refiner in the pavilion, Jie Zi.

"I need you to forge this sword into a supreme divine weapon," Yushi instructed.

In the Tian Ling Continent, the levels of spiritual weapons could be divided into treasure, spiritual, esteemed, sacred, divine, supreme divine, and transcendent divine. Obviously, Yushi intended to forge the Purple Jade Sword into the most powerful spiritual weapon.

Jie Zi replied, "It's not difficult for me, General. However, the materials are currently unavailable at the Ling Shi House."

"What materials?" Yushi inquired.

"Sky Thunder Meteorite Iron."

"I'll send someone to find it. If we do, how long will it take to complete the reforging?"

"I will definitely finish it within a month, General."

"Good."

With that, Yushi left. He left the shattered pieces of the Purple Jade Sword with Jie Zi.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The teams that had advanced to the top four were the Ling Shi House, a team from the Nan Yue Empire, the Yun Chu Palace, and the Ling Xiao Pavilion.

During these three days, Su Xue'er had mastered the essentials of the technique, but she still needed some time for the mental aspect.

Five days later, Su Xue'er had completely mastered the technique. However, she lacked some practical combat experience.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Su Xue'er heard a knock on the door. "Come in," she said.

Tang Ruoyu walked in, looking anxious. "Xue'er, something big has happened."

"What's wrong?"

"You'll be facing Shen Yujue from the Ling Xiao Pavilion in your next match. He's the most outstanding spiritualist since the beginning of this continental competition. His talent is undoubtedly the best among his peers."

Su Xue'er was stunned by Tang Ruoyu's words, but she wouldn't give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would face it head-on.

"It's okay. I'll do my best. If I can't win, I can still surrender, right?"

Tang Ruoyu looked at Su Xue'er, who spoke without concealing her lies, with a bitter smile and said, "Let's go, it's time for the match."

Because it was the top four battle of the continental competition, the spectators who came to watch had already filled the entire square, with the number of people being about ten times more than at the beginning.

"Please send one member from the Ling Shi House team to compete with one member from the Ling Xiao Pavilion team."

On the Ling Shi House team, Su Xue'er naturally took the stage. Originally, Su Xue'er thought that Ling Xiao Pavilion would send Shen Mingxing to test her first, but unexpectedly, they sent Shen Wujue directly.

Just last night, Shen Yueru went to find Shen Wujue, who exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

"Auntie needs your help with something."

"Feel free to tell me, Auntie. I will definitely assist you."

"I want you to get rid of Su Xue'er, who is Yushi's fiancée."

Shen Wujue pondered for a moment before saying, "Auntie, she is General Yushi's fiancée. If I were to kill her, I'm afraid I wouldn't fare well."

"Don't worry, I'll ensure your safety. As long as you help me deal with her, I will give you a transcendent divine weapon."

Shen Wujue's lips curled up as he said, "Alright, I'll personally take care of her tomorrow."

"You can let Mingxing test her first to deplete her strength."

"Hahaha~" Shen Wujue laughed and then said, "Auntie, you're worrying too much. Aren't you aware of my strength? Please rest assured, Auntie. I'll take care of this task."

...

This was Shen Yueru's conspiracy, intending to use the continental competition to eliminate Su Xue'er. However, they might not know that Su Xue'er would become known to the whole world after this battle.

Shen Wujue looked disdainfully at Su Xue'er and said, "Mid-stage Spirit King, although you were able to defeat the three brothers from the Gong Sun family, your strength is commendable. However, when you meet me, in my eyes, the three of them combined are not my match. So, it's better for you to surrender to avoid accusations of bullying a girl."

Su Xue'er looked at the arrogant Shen Wujue in front of her and said nothing. Instead, she took out a halberd from her spatial ring. The halberd was entirely light blue, eight feet long. In the eyes of others, this halberd was of treasure-level quality.

The people below were stunned.

"What? A treasure?"

"Did the Ling Shi House not provide weapons, or does Su Xue'er no longer want to fight?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd trembled and uttered the name of the halberd, "Isn't this the weapon of the traitor Yun Chuxue, the Moon-Supporting Heaven-Breaking Halberd?"

The crowd was in an uproar. Someone asked, "How do you know?"

"I've seen Yun Chuxue use this weapon before. It's definitely the same. The patterns on the weapon are identical."

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, isn't there a grudge between the Ling Shi House and Yun Chuxue? How could they use her weapon?"

"It depends on how the Ling Shi House explains this."

Most people seemed to know that Yun Chuxue's weapon was the Moon-Supporting Heaven-Breaking Halberd, but they had never seen what it looked like.

Yun Ziqi looked at Shen Yueru sitting beside him and asked, "Yueru, I remember you said you lost this weapon. What's going on?"

"I don't know. I just lost it, and I'm not sure."

Faced with everyone's questioning, Yushi was about to explain, but Su Xue'er spoke up.

"Everyone, listen to me. I obtained the Moon-Supporting Heaven-Breaking Halberd from the auction house in Holy Star City. I don't care how many sins it has committed in the past. I only know that the quality of a weapon doesn't depend on itself, but on the person who uses it. I don't know who its previous owner was, but I know that its current owner is me. I will use it to the best of my ability in every match."

Su Xue'er's words left everyone speechless. Shen Wujue applauded and said, "Well said, worthy of being General Yushi's fiancée. Alright, let's settle this. If you win, you will successfully advance to the semi-finals. If you lose, you will only make it to the top four."
