Chapter 47: Soul Tool? The Halberd’s Demon Eye, a Terrifying 100% Power Boost!

Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng, who was suddenly filled with astonishment, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something abnormal about this weapon?"

Dai Chengfeng's expression was grave as he slowly shook his head, not immediately answering.

"What on earth is going on with this weapon? It's actually devouring my soul power?"

"Soul tool?"

Dai Chengfeng wasn't sure.

The feeling he got from this Heaven-Splitting Halberd did indeed resemble that of a soul tool.

However, he had never encountered an offensive-type soul tool before. The only soul tools he'd seen were storage-related ones, like the soul rings he and Zhu Fan wore or Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges…

There was always a distinction between auxiliary and offensive tools.

Thus, for the moment, Dai Chengfeng couldn't quite tell.

"And!"

"This is the Douluo Continent, not the Sun and Moon Continent."

"Besides the divine-level soul tool, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, no offensive-type soul tools have appeared on the Douluo Continent, right?"

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng's mind was filled with questions.

"If it really is a soul tool, what level could it be?"

After pondering deeply.

Dai Chengfeng looked again at the seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary Heaven-Splitting Halberd in his hand and took a deep breath. "I must see what kind of unexpected surprises you hold!"

Dai Chengfeng raised his hand and once more infused soul power into the halberd.

As his soul power continuously flowed into it, a blood-red "line" slowly crept upward along the shaft.

When the blood line reached the junction where the shaft met the blade—

Suddenly—

A blood-red rune resembling an eye began to gradually appear and become clear.

The previously worn-out, age-marked blade now emitted an eerie chill.

Moreover, Dai Chengfeng felt an inexplicable sensation welling up within him…

Hunger!

This weapon was incredibly hungry!

It was absurd.

How could a mere weapon have a sense of hunger?

But the fact remained—it was true!

This weapon seemed like a ravenous "glutton," greedily craving Dai Chengfeng's soul power and voraciously consuming it.

Until almost all of Dai Chengfeng's soul power was drained…

That bloody, eye-like rune finally opened slowly.

Buzz—!

At this moment, the entire Heaven-Splitting Halberd violently trembled, as if something had been activated.

Immediately afterward, a surge of immense power rushed into Dai Chengfeng's body like a tidal wave.

"This is…"

Dai Chengfeng gazed at the halberd in his hand, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He could clearly feel his muscles suddenly tense, and it was as if molten "lava" was surging through his veins…

"My strength has been amplified? By roughly 100%!!!"

Dai Chengfeng stared at the halberd in shock. "And this is still just a broken weapon. If it were intact…"

He could hardly imagine.

How terrifying and powerful would this weapon be then?

"This weapon cannot be melted down. It holds too many secrets I don't fully understand."

"Melt it recklessly, and it might destroy this rare treasure."

While Dai Chengfeng was lost in thought, hurried footsteps echoed from the back courtyard.

The blacksmith who had gone to consult his master returned to the front hall.

Looking at Dai Chengfeng, he apologized slightly, "Esteemed sir, I'm truly sorry."

"I've already confirmed with my master—those earlier spears are the heaviest we have. Our shop simply doesn't have any spears that meet your requirements."

"And, my master asked me to tell you…"

"Respected guest, perhaps you're unfamiliar with spear techniques."

"The spear has always been a weapon focused on technique and aggression."

"Using a spear that's too heavy makes it unwieldy, completely losing the essence of the spear."

"If you truly want a heavier weapon for a strength-based approach, I recommend buying a hammer instead."

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng's lips curled slightly. "I don't understand spear techniques?"

"Spears can only focus on technique and aggression?"

"A strength-based approach is entirely inferior to hammers?"

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng flicked his wrist slightly, and the Heaven-Splitting Halberd in his hand spun rapidly, the motion smooth and graceful.

"Hammers used to represent strength, but that won't be the case anymore!"

Dai Chengfeng's voice brimmed with confidence. "The world will soon know that those who wield spears can also…

"Lift mountains and overshadow the world with their might!"

With that, Dai Chengfeng swung the halberd fiercely through the air.

Boom—!

This seemingly simple strike carried the force of a thousand jin, an unstoppable and overwhelming fury that shattered the air.

(T/N: 1000 jin/catty = ~600 kgs = ~1322.77 lbs)

Even though Dai Chengfeng's halberd hadn't touched the ground, the earth cracked open, spreading rapidly and extending several meters, a shocking sight to behold.

The wall of the blacksmith shop across from them was pulverized by the compressed air, leaving only fragments of rubble behind.

"This is… a 100% power boost?" Dai Chengfeng gazed at the scene, his eyes filled with awe and excitement. "It's absolutely terrifying!"

In the past, although Dai Chengfeng could also shatter walls and crack the ground with a single strike, he always had to rely on his soul power and even his martial soul to do so.

But just now,

Dai Chengfeng hadn't used any soul power at all. He relied purely on his physical muscle strength!

Meanwhile, the blacksmith stared at the astonishing destructive power of Dai Chengfeng's strike, his eyes wide, swallowing involuntarily.

"My master often practices with the spear and is said to have a martial soul called Shattered Something Spear, but his spear techniques are always strange and unpredictable, dazzling to watch…"

"Spear techniques can be so domineering?!"

Zhu Fan chuckled as he watched the stunned blacksmith, patting him lightly on the shoulder with a hint of pride.

"Now do you know who truly understands spear techniques?"

"Yes… yes."

The blacksmith nodded instinctively, his eyes still filled with shock.

"Where did this weapon come from?"

By now, Dai Chengfeng had already stowed the halberd away and turned to look at the blacksmith again, speaking calmly.

Chengfeng wanted to see if he could uncover the true origins of this Heaven-Splitting Halberd.

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, the blacksmith snapped out of his shock and respectfully replied, "Esteemed sir, I'm not entirely sure of this weapon's exact origin."

"Three days ago, a fisherman brought this weapon to our shop, wanting to sell it."

"He said he found it while fishing at sea, accidentally caught in his net."

"The sea?"

Dai Chengfeng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed.

If it had been retrieved from the sea, the weapon's origins could be endless possibilities, completely untraceable.

Perhaps it belonged to a former powerhouse who died in a river, and the weapon was swept into the ocean. Or maybe it came from a sea-based faction like the Sea God Island. It could even have originated from the Sun and Moon Empire, which hasn't yet connected with this continent…

"So be it!"

Since its origins couldn't be traced, Dai Chengfeng decided not to dwell on it further.

He turned to Zhu Fan. "Uncle, settle the bill for this Heaven-Splitting Halberd and the cost to repair this wall."

With that, he turned and walked directly toward the hotel.

At this moment, he was eager to study just how many unknown secrets this weapon still held!
