Chapter 251: Gemstone Fruit
After getting rid of these Jizhou candidates, Xia Ping also picked up all their weapons. There were a total of six t.i.tanium alloy sabers, four longbows, and several arrows.
"Mm? "What kind of longbow is this?"
Xia Ping picked up one of the longbows and examined it carefully. It was entirely black, streamlined, and engraved with mysterious inscriptions. It exuded a mysterious aura and was not on the same level as other cold weapons.
There were a few simple words carved on the bow: Moon Shooting Bow!
He subconsciously grabbed the longbow and infused his True Qi into it. Immediately, the longbow vibrated and buzzed. The inscriptions on the bow seemed to be glowing. A murderous aura filled the air, causing people to tremble.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.
This bow was obtained from the black-clothed examinee.
"What a magical bow."
Xia Ping immediately knew that this was definitely an incredible weapon. Once he drew his bow and shot an arrow, the power of the arrow would probably be more than ten times that of ordinary arrows. This was a great killing weapon.
"Heavens!" "That is an artifact!"
At this moment, Nangong Wu walked over. When she saw Xia Ping"s bow, she immediately cried out in alarm. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the longbow, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Chu Rong, Jiang Yaru, and Feng Hetang also walked over.
" artifact?" Xia Ping blinked and looked at Nangong Wu.
Nangong Wu immediately said, "I also heard about this from my father." It"s said that these weapons were all Dharma treasures excavated from ancient ruins. There are mysterious inscriptions carved on them. "It has a huge amplification effect on warriors."
"Once a martial artist uses such a treasure, their combat strength will increase by several times, or even ten times."
"Because of this, these Life Treasures are extremely precious and priceless." Even the most ordinary one is worth billions of federation coins. Some are even worth hundreds of billions of federation coins. "Money cannot buy them."
Chu Rong was also a little shocked. "Are you serious?" It"s just a weapon, but it"s worth billions, or even hundreds of billions. "Isn"t that a little too exaggerated?"
"No, not at all."
Nangong Wu shook her head. "When a true powerhouse obtains these treasures, the combat strength they can display is simply unimaginable." They can easily slaughter an entire army. "Even modern weapons cannot stop them."
"It"s said that some artifacts possess mysterious powers." "Once activated, even a nuclear bomb wouldn"t be able to kill them."
She looked very serious.
Hearing this, Xia Ping took out an arrow from the ground, nocked the arrow, and slowly drew the bow. He injected true energy into the bow, causing it to vibrate and emit blinding light.
All of a sudden, he felt a powerful force building up inside of him, and his true energy was rapidly being drained.
Swish!
Immediately, an arrow shot out, tearing through the air. Its tail trembled and buzzed.
In just a few breaths" time, the arrow had traversed five to six kilometers and struck a huge rock that weighed tens of thousands of tons.
Bang!
An explosion rang out, and like a thunderclap that shook the heavens, the huge rock was instantly blasted apart and turned into powder. Countless pieces of rock flew in all directions, and even the ground was cracked, and a dozen terrifying cracks appeared.
"So powerful!" Seeing this scene, Nangong Wu and the others were all dumbfounded. This arrow actually had such power even from five to six kilometers away. It was comparable to an ordinary mortar.
"It"s indeed extraordinary." Xia Ping clenched his fists. He could also sense the tyrannical might of the bow. If he shot out an arrow, it could probably kill even a warrior at the fifth stage of the martial artist realm. It would greatly increase his combat strength.
This time, he had obtained an extremely good treasure.
"It seems this black-clad examinee is not a simple character." "For him to be able to bring in an artifact, he must have a deep background." Nangong Wu"s face was very serious.
Although this artifact was very powerful, strictly speaking, it was still considered a cold weapon. Bringing it in was not a violation of the rules.
However, for a family clan to possess a treasure like that, that was extraordinary. It was likely that not many family clans in the capital had one. Even if they did, they wouldn"t dare let a junior from a family clan bring it in.
After all, if he lost it during the exam, it would be a huge sin, and he would suffer a huge loss.
"It"s fine. So what if he knows? Can"t we retaliate if he wants to kill us? "In the Yan Huang University exam, even the biggest families can"t interfere." Xia Ping did not care.
If he were to compare backgrounds, who could be bigger than the Giant Company? What was he afraid of?
"That"s true."
Nangong Wu also nodded. She had to admit that this was different from her Nangong family. This fellow"s ident.i.ty was not ordinary, and it was not something that any family could casually harm.
"I"m a little hungry. "Let"s eat first."
Xia Ping returned to the Precious Tree once again and continued to pluck five or six gemstone fruits. This time, he did not launch a sneak attack, and everything went smoothly.
"This is the gemstone fruit?"
Jiang Yaru blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the crystal-clear fruit. She could not help but exclaim, "I"ve only seen such luxury goods in books." "I didn"t expect to really have the chance to eat it."
"How lucky." Chu Rong also complimented.
Nangong Wu and Feng Hetang couldn"t help but nod as well. Even though they had a powerful background and could be considered a large clan, it was still very difficult for them to obtain this gemstone fruit.
This type of precious fruit couldn"t be bought with money. Once it appeared, it would immediately be bought by high officials and n.o.bles. It wouldn"t appear on the market at all.
"Cut the c.r.a.p. Let"s start eating." Xia Ping immediately picked up a gemstone fruit and began to eat. As he ate, he immediately felt an incomparably delicious and stimulating taste.
He felt that this was the amalgamation of all the meat in the world. It was soft to the touch and melted in his mouth. The fragrance a.s.sailed his nostrils. He reckoned that even the top-notch Kobe beef on Earth in his previous life was not as good as this.
It was hard to imagine that this was just a fruit, and it had grown from a large tree.
Rumble!
When the Gemstone Fruit was swallowed into his stomach, a gush of energy surged out from his stomach and circulated through his Qi-Jin 100 meridians, quickly transforming into True Qi. His body seemed to be boiling.
"Wow, that"s a lot of energy.""Even the meat of a top monster is nothing special."
Xia Ping immediately understood why this gemstone fruit was so precious and expensive. Countless officials and n.o.bles were fighting to buy it; it was priceless.
Not only did it possess supreme delicacy, but it also contained pure energy. Eating it was no less than eating a precious pill. It was extremely beneficial to a martial artist.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the energy of the gemstone fruit.
In just a few breaths, Xia Ping had already refined this energy. The true qi within his body seemed to have grown by a notch, continuously filling up his third acupoint, advancing towards the peak of the third stage of the martial artist realm.
Eating this Gemstone Fruit was the same as cultivating for half a year. He felt that not only did his True Qi increase, even his strength and speed had increased.
"Yeah?"
Soon, Xia Ping also discovered that Jiang Yaru, Nangong Wu, Chu Rong, and Feng Hetang, who had also eaten the Gemstone Fruit, had also undergone tremendous changes.
