Louis just felt goosebumps all over.

Though the Nightmare Sword: Jade is much weaker compared to some subsequent Steel Soul flow martial techniques.

After all, it's only a level 1 martial technique.

But precisely because it's a level 1 technique, there is a chance to integrate basic techniques into every attack, making normal strikes comparable to skills.

This kind of operation, Louis had seen a long time ago.

Instructor Jino's Jino Breathing Technique is a typical example.

By integrating the temporarily explosive breathing technique into daily breathing, one keeps themselves in an explosive state at all times.

To this day, Louis has only managed to maintain the Jino Breathing Technique for 4 hours in a regular state.

It's not that he can't learn it, rather his body's strength is not yet able to support maintaining the Jino Breathing Technique for a long time.

But on the contrary, something like the Nightmare Sword: Jade, for him now, he is already close to incorporating the techniques of the Nightmare Sword: Jade into every movement.

Turning skills into normal attacks, there's a world of difference.

It's fair to say, just this one technique of the Nightmare Sword: Jade makes the students of the Sword of Martial Arts program at Saint Louis Academy suffer miserably.

And such an operation is usually only achievable by model-level experts.

But if someone told you that once you acquire the Celestial Heart Sword, you too can turn skills into normal attacks like Louis?

What an astonishing feat.

Furthermore, according to Olivia, if he were to use it, the destructive power of the Nightmare Sword: Jade would increase even further?

What does that count as?

Not only do your skills turn into normal attacks, but those normal attacks also come with critical strikes?

No way, there's definitely some cheat!

The little swan chuckled and said:

"Now you understand, right, why every time this thing is forged, it causes countless people to fight over it?"

Louis nodded.

Exclusive weapons, terrifying as such.

The little swan counted on her fingers and said:

"Not only at level five, but at level seven, the Celestial Heart Sword will directly enhance your perception and increase your focus when using Steel Soul flow weapons."

"At level eight, your focus will directly affect your body control, the higher the focus, the stronger the body control ability."

"At level eleven, you can use Acceleration Magic five times a day."

"At level thirteen, you gain the unique intuitive dodge of a barbarian, capable of premonition before danger arrives."

"At level sixteen, you can cast the Freedom of Movement Spell once a day to restore your control over your body."

"Meanwhile, at levels ten, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and nineteen, the sharpness of the Celestial Heart Sword itself will further increase."

"Ultimately, at level twenty, you'll be able to consume a large amount of blood energy to additionally activate a Time Stop martial technique."

Louis's mouth dropped slightly open.

What do you call this a weapon?

This is calling in a nanny who can even help you beat people up!

Beatrice smiled and said:

"Even a regular Celestial Heart is a weapon to last a lifetime for the ordinary Nine Swords, let alone when you have…"

Louis instantly understood the value of the weapon in his hand.

"How expensive can this thing be?" he whispered.

Beatrice thought for a moment and said:

"Do you know the gap between the replica Nine Sword exclusive weapons and the original weapons?"

Louis shook his head.

Beatrice coquettishly lifted his chin with her fingertip.

Louis blinked and leaned in for a kiss.

Power and speed double A, that's me!

The little swan beside him was so shy she covered her eyes, though the gaps between her fingers were way too wide, clearly sneaking a peek.

Beatrice leaned back, covering her face, and took a while to regain her composure, her aura slightly waning.

She gasped.

She felt as though not only had something else been siphoned away from her, even a small portion of her blood energy had been drained.

Louis coughed and said:

"Sorry, I couldn't control my innate Magic."

—He meant Energy Absorption.

For him, when he kissed someone, it was automatically considered as releasing Energy Absorption once.

Which means, if not controlled, during an intimate moment with his major wife, he could literally drain her energy dry.

He found it hard to control his heart just now.

As a result, the originally suppressed Energy Absorption was not controlled well, activating halfway.

Fortunately, he detected it in time, stopping the absorption.

Otherwise, given their current state, Beatrice might not have realized her blood energy had been drained until she was already absorbed dry.

Indeed.

Energy Absorption for succubi is one of those Magics that, as long as opponent's skill effects do not pass, would be implemented continuously.

Historically, even demigod-level pure-blood dragons have been drained alive by succubi.

However…

He licked his lips and said:

"Beatrice's taste, really not bad."

Hmm, it's not just about blood and energy.

Then Beatrice blushed even more.

She stammered:

"Let's, let's talk about the Celestial Heart, uh, what was I going to say?"

Perhaps she was a bit dazed from Louis's kiss, and it took her a while to react after Louis prompted her:

"The, the Celestial Heart weapon, when it was first created, was meant to pass down the Steel Soul Flow techniques."

She took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and continued:

"So, the original Celestial Heart doesn't have the level requirements that the replica does."

"If you master the techniques in advance, you can directly receive the corresponding skill boosts."

"Even if you barely grasp them, you can still gain the cultivation memories left by predecessors."

"You could say it's like half a Steel Soul Flow mentor."

"And let's not forget, unlike the replica, even without ritual enhancement, its sharpness is maxed out."

Louis gasped.

In other words, this thing is naturally at maximum sharpness, and just by materials alone, it's an unparalleled divine weapon.

And it comes with inheritance memory.

Not only does it have all the functions of the replica, but for geniuses who can master the techniques in advance, it provides preemptive unlocks and bonuses?

How is this just a specialized weapon?

This is a game-changer, capable of turning the tide against all odds.

He looked at Beatrice and said:

"Ten Thousand Gold, is it possible to buy such a weapon?"

God knows how much courage it took for Louis to say this.

Without Ten Thousand Gold, it's as if he lost half his life.

But he was willing to part with Ten Thousand Gold for another such weapon.

You can imagine how enticing this was to him.

No wonder Beatrice couldn't fit it into her backpack.

The magical energy in this thing is probably about to explode, it'd be a miracle to fit it into a dimensional bag.

Beatrice shook her head and said:

"The theoretical price is at least 100,000 Gold Coins, but that's just theoretical; no one in history has ever sold one."

She glanced at the Celestial Heart in Louis's hand and said:

"Right now, you're the only one who can hold it. Outsiders holding it would cause trouble."

"Historically, more than one war has erupted over the nine major flow weapons, leading to the destruction of over three small countries."

"This isn't something that can be measured in terms of value."

Damn, there was the Trojan War for Helen then.

Now there are wars of annihilation for the Nine Swords of inheritance.

What about Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre?

"It's like holding a mountain of gold."

Louis looked down at the understated blade of the Celestial Heart, then looked up and said:

"Beatrice, how about you help me find a place to hide it?"

Beatrice chuckled and said:

"No need, Ense's strength is enough for you to hold this weapon."

"Out of the Nine Sword weapons, there were originally four with Ense, oh no, now it's five."

"Rest assured, anyone who reaches out, just chop their hand off."

"Especially at this moment."

Louis understood.

After all, it appears to the outside world that Emperor Lao Deng is in good condition, ready to trap anyone who dares to act.

He kissed the sheath firmly and said:

"Then I will just use this thing directly!"

Huh?

Louis blinked.

"Something seems off?"

Beatrice turned her head curiously and said, "What's wrong?"

Louis hesitated:

"I just kissed the sheath, and it instantly unlocked the acceleration spell for me."

He gently swung his arm, and instantly it turned into a blur.

"Weird, I haven't even learned acceleration yet."

Beatrice's mouth twitched slightly, and she placed her hands on Louis's shoulders.

"Louis, promise me one thing."

"Huh?"

"No more kissing the sheath."

Louis: ???

Beatrice said earnestly:

"I suspect the sword fancies you; otherwise, there's no reason it would give you that voluntarily."
