Back in their cultivation caves, Li Hao and Lin Xue began refining their new weapons.
The moment Li Hao infused his qi into the spear, lightning surged across its surface, reacting violently to his three-core system—though its true nature remained hidden.
Then—
The spear trembled.
A figure slowly emerged.
A young male spirit, tall and composed, holding a phantom spear in his hand. His gaze was sharp, filled with quiet confidence.
"So… you are my master," he said calmly.
Before Li Hao could respond, two familiar presences appeared.
The moon demon girl leaned lazily on her blade, smirking. "Another one joins us?"
The light fairy fluttered happily. "Welcome~!"
The spear spirit gave a slight nod, acknowledging both.
Li Hao now had three weapon spirits—each different, each powerful.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue's refinement reached its peak.
A burst of colorful light erupted from her sword—
A majestic peacock spirit appeared, its feathers shimmering with illusionary brilliance.
"I will enhance what cannot be seen," it said softly.
Her illusions instantly deepened.
This was not just weapon refinement.
It was awakening.
