Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 36: Meeting Ya Fei Again

Jia Nan Academy was a renowned Dou Qi academy on the Dou Qi Continent. It was one of the few academies outside of sects and families with considerable influence. On the Northwest Continent, Jia Nan Academy's power was notable. In Mo Yu's memory, the academy seemed to harbor a few reclusive super-strong individuals.

However, Mo Yu's future plans did not include attending Jia Nan Academy. The academy was most famous for its cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills, neither of which were particularly scarce for Mo Yu, who had been reborn with past knowledge. Additionally, while the academy had a highly ranked Heavenly Flame, Mo Yu was not very interested due to already possessing the Mysterious Thunder.

But since Xiao Yu asked him with such a reason, Mo Yu naturally couldn't refuse.

Seeing Mo Yu's straightforward response, a joyful smile appeared on Xiao Yu's pretty face. She increasingly accepted Mo Yu's identity as her fiancé, just like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground.

After this matter was settled, Xiao Yu gently wiped the sweat off Mo Yu's body and then, blushing, took her leave.

Watching Xiao Yu's slightly panicked departure today, Mo Yu shook his head with mixed feelings.

In his previous life, when he first crossed over to that continent, he had beautiful expectations about genuine feelings between men and women. During an exploration of an ancient relic, he met a girl with exceptional looks and talent. Due to some accidents during the final stages of the exploration, they ended up having an intimate encounter, which solidified their relationship. After that, Mo Yu gave his all to the girl, and they were deeply in love, promising each other forever.

However, things didn't develop as he had hoped. While escaping from a powerful enemy, Mo Yu hid far away for a few years. When he returned, his strength had increased significantly, and he killed his enemy. But he found his beloved girl in another man's arms. There was no dramatic betrayal; when he questioned her, she simply replied coldly, "I used to like you, but now I like him more. That's all."

It was then that Mo Yu truly realized how fickle people could be.

As for Xiao Yu, Mo Yu wasn't sure if she could stay with him forever, but he didn't care. He firmly believed in only one thing: strength!

If he could become a supreme figure and Xiao Yu remained by his side, he wouldn't mind giving her the honor and respect she deserved. But if she changed her heart midway, Mo Yu would discard her without hesitation.

Thinking this, Mo Yu dismissed the distracting thoughts. After Xiao Yu left, he retrieved five second-grade thunder attribute magic cores from his storage ring.

Three hours later, as the sun set and darkness began to fall, Mo Yu descended the mountain. His aura was significantly different from before.

He was now a two-star Dou Fighter!

The next morning, Mo Yu woke up early. The previous day, he had used the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Thunder to absorb the energy from five second-grade thunder attribute magic cores, successfully breaking through to a two-star Dou Fighter, and was already at its peak. Mo Yu felt that with one or two more second-grade magic cores, he could further break through to a three-star Dou Fighter.

Advancing two stars in one month could cause unstable Dou Qi in other fighters, but Mo Yu had no such worries. With his current physique, although not a fully matured Tiangang Thunder Body, advancing two stars in a month was still acceptable.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu set his mind on obtaining more magic cores. Before leaving Wutan City, he also needed to gather auxiliary materials for crafting the Beast Ring and the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, which required a lot of gold.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Although auctioning high-level Dou Qi techniques could solve his immediate needs, it wasn't a long-term solution. Doing so repeatedly might arouse suspicion. Even a powerful sect like Yunlan Sect couldn't frequently produce so many high-level Dou Qi techniques for auction.

Therefore, Mo Yu decided to return to his old trade of forging weapons. As a weapon forger, much like an alchemist, making money was quite easy.

Early in the morning, Mo Yu took stock of his resources and began a major shopping spree. He planned to forge two different weapons: the Tiger's Maw Array-breaking Blade and the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword. These weapons were only of second grade but were good enough.

On the Dou Qi Continent, alchemy was highly revered, leading to a scarcity of weapon forgers and a rarity of high-quality weapons. In a remote place like Wutan City, good weapons were even scarcer. Thus, these second-grade weapons would be highly attractive to Dou Masters and even Dou Grandmasters, fetching a good price.

With this plan, Mo Yu went out to buy the materials. It took him half a day and 20,000 gold coins to gather everything. He then rented a room in an inn and didn't leave for several hours.

At the Miter Auction House, in the appraisal room.

Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Miter Auction House, was staring in astonishment at the two weapons on the table.

To the left was a long blade, nearly two meters long, with a strong energy fluctuation emanating from it. The hilt was intricately carved with a tiger's maw, and the blade had strange Dou Qi patterns emitting a faint glow.

To the right was a short sword, about an inch long, entirely black, exuding a dangerous aura like a hidden serpent.

"These two weapons are the Tiger's Maw Array-breaking Blade and the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword. I'm entrusting them to your auction house for sale," said Mo Yu, draped in a black robe, to the shocked Ya Fei.

After much thought, Mo Yu decided to auction these weapons at the Miter Auction House, where they could fetch a higher price.

Seeing the high-quality weapons, Ya Fei's pretty mouth slightly opened in surprise, her ample chest rising and falling gently.

Just as Mo Yu had guessed, due to the lack of weapon forgers on the Dou Qi Continent, high-quality weapons were extremely rare. The weapons Mo Yu forged, though only second-grade, had unique craftsmanship comparable to some third-grade weapons. Such weapons were rare even at the Miter Auction House, and suddenly having two of them was extraordinary.

Moreover, constantly auctioning pills, Dou Qi techniques, and cultivation methods could lead to visual fatigue. Introducing weapons could also showcase the auction house's depth.

With a charming smile, Ya Fei's alluring eyes swept over the black-robed figure. Something seemed to cross her mind, causing a hint of shyness to flash in her eyes. She quickly recovered, her face full of seductive charm, and said, "I didn't expect you to bring us such a big business deal after a few months, sir."
