Chapter 99 – Treasure
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help becoming tongue-tied speechless. This was an oxyacetylene flame with a temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius. He was slightly worried that the leg hair might just ignite and burn to nothing.
However, the next thing that occurred had made him notice how magical the leg hair truly was.
The pure white 3000 degree Celsius oxyacetylene flame licked the leg hair.
However, the leg hair did not burn up at all. It only reddened quickly as if it was a metal rod placed on a stove. The only thing was that if it was a real metal rod it would have already softened at this point.
“Yao Wu, come to the cutting table,” Cheng Bi Wu instructed.
Then Cheng Bi Wu used the oxyacetylene flame to heat up the leg hair, while Yao Wu operated the cutting machine and pressed down on the grinding wheel.
The result of this had been a lot better than solely just using the cutting machine.
After repeating this 30 times, the leg hair was finally cut off.
The leg was was slightly too glossy, so Cheng Bi Wu took a steel file to file the leg hair while it was still red. This was done to increase friction, allowing it to be easier to wield.
However, this was not the end. His big senior apprentice brother had also finally finished the spearhead. It was a simple shape without any motifs or design. You could only see a rhombus on all four sides with a concave shape which, when using it on the the enemy, would cause a cross shaped wound that would surely be difficult to heal.
The inside of the spear head was a screw to make it easier to fasten it to the pole.
As a result, they needed to drill a screw shape into the leg hair in order to fasten the spearhead.
Compared to cutting the spearhead, this was a finer task.
Currently, the spear head was still reddened so it was quickly placed on a screw machine.
This was also not a task that could be accomplished in one go.
After trying for more than a hundred times, a screw shape was made.
Cheng Bi Wu took the spear head and a bit or red yarn and covered the screw with it. Afterwards, the spear head was rotated into the spear pole.
From just one look, it seemed that the finished product turned out to be a pretty good spear.
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help being ecstatic but as he was about to take it, his master suddenly carried the spear and went out the door. Wei Xiao Bei and the others also hurriedly chased after him.
After seeing a good spear, let alone Cheng Bi Wu, even Liu Jan Cheng and Yao Wu would want to play with it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
When they reached the outer practice ground, they borrowed the light of the moon and danced with the spear.
It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei saw his master use the spear like this. He couldn’t help but stop and take a look at the spear techniques.
There was no other choice but to admire it. Although, compared to Wei Xiao Bei, his master’s strength and vitality were below his, his master’s spear techniques and fighting techniques were a lot better than his.
Cheng Bi Wu did the routine for the Six Harmonies Great Spear twice before stopping.
Next, his master passed it onto his big senior apprentice brother to try. Then his big senior apprentice brother passed it onto his third senior apprentice brother to try.
When Wei Xiao Bei had finally impatiently took hold of it, it was already 1:30 in the wee hours of morning.
“Sleep earlier. No one would steal your spear.”
His master regretfully looked at the spear in Wei Xiao Bei’s hands and sighed as he returned to his room.
Seeing his master leave, and his apprentice brothers also following him back inside, Wei Xiao Bei was still unwilling to return without doing anything, so he tried a few moves.
When he returned to the room, he was reluctant to let go of the spear even when he needed to take a bath.
He felt that the spear was easy to use. It made him feel as if it was an extension of his hand.
After taking a bath, he lied down on the bed while the great spear was erected on his bedside. He looked at his status panel while holding the spear to see if there were any changes.
Items on hand: White Mist Knife (sharp, slightly corrosive property), Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear (tough, flexible, can cause bleeding)
The leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo had turned into Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear. There was even the property of causing bleeding.
Wei Xiao Bei was able to guess that this was caused by the unique shape of the spearhead.
However, the name Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear was a disgusting sounding name. If the words leg hair were removed, it would’ve been better.
However, he was lucky that his big senior apprentice brother’s spearhead could still be brought into The Dust World. When he thought about it now, he felt that he as just overthinking it.
When the spear head and the leg hair turned into a great spear, changes had appeared.
Wei Xiao Bei was able to understand why this happened thanks to his higher than average intelligence.
In simpler terms, if a person ate their fill before entering The Dust World, then saying that they were not able to bring that food would be a joke.
This meant that if an object in reality was influenced by a product of The Dust World, then it would be possible to bring them in.
Wei Xiao Bei committed this point to memory. He planned to try it the next time he entered The Dust World.
In the early morning, Wei Xiao Bei woke up early and carried the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear to the outer practice field.
After training his spear techniques, his master and the others appeared one after the other.
Wei Xiao Bei greeted his master and apprentice brother before relaxing.
His master and apprentice brothers still looked normal for the day.
However, not soon after, his master asked, “Xiao Bei. Do you still need the excess material after creating the spear?”
When Wei Xiao Bei heard this, he knew that his master was still hung up about the leg hair and generously spoke, “Master, I don’t need it anymore.”
“Good. There is still about 130cm left. If I mix it with stainless steel, it should be possible to made another great spear. Xiao Bei, you should train a bit more. Jian Cheng, Yao Wu, let’s go to the storehouse.”
After saying this, his master hurriedly went to the storehouse.
Looking at his master and senior apprentice brothers going to the storehouse, Wei Xiao Bei lost the mood to continue training.
As a disciple, he knew that he should help his master when his master was undertaking a task.
When he entered the store house, everyone became busy.
They carried the gas containers, operated the cutting machine, created the spear head.
They were busy until it was lunchtime, and a hot great spear was freshly taken out of the furnace.
The spear head was no different from the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear’s. Moreover, the leg hair was cut into three parts and fastened together by stainless steel to act as the pole.
When he tried using it, the feeling from the great spear was too different from the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear. However, it was much better than the spears inside the dojo.
The other thing was that when Wei Xiao Bei held the spear and looked at his status panel, no new information appeared.
He was slightly suspicious. There was no doubt that the status panel did not acknowledge the spear, so it could not be brought into The Dust World.
What could be the reason for this?
Even Wei Xiao Bei’s improved intelligence could not deduce the reason.
Could it be that the proportion of leg hair was too low?
Or is it a random probability?
No matter what was said, Cheng Bi Wu was very happy. From his viewpoint, the number treasures of the Cheng Clan Dojo had increased.
