After the darkness!

"Similar tools?" Wei Hong was taken aback and turned her head to look at Lin Yijue.

He realized he had underestimated his new apprentice.

Looking at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, with an honest and unassuming appearance, he actually has a shrewd look on his face, as if he would take any shortcut given to him and be a fool not to.

Most importantly, this kid actually dares to ask...

"Guardian...don't you have one?" Lin Yijue was a little unsure how to answer under his gaze.

"Yes, no." Wei Hong looked at him with a half-smile. "Our Yun Sheng Sect's secret Yun Sheng Gui Yuan style emphasizes that one breath of Gui Yuan Qi enters the body and the Yun Sheng Yue falls into the body without breaking it. Not to mention encountering wild beasts, even if we encounter those alien monsters crawling out of the black tide, we can still kill them seven times and get out seven times with our muscular bodies."

Lin Yijue sensed the sarcastic tone in the other person's voice, so he didn't say anything, only chuckled awkwardly.

"Alright, I was just joking with you. I just wanted to tell you that weapons do have an advantage. Otherwise, how do you think the 'Five-in-One Weaponry Technique' came about?"

But you must understand that only humans are truly powerful.

I encountered the Black Tide outside the high walls. Within the Black Tide, I met a monstrous creature, without even a physical form. It harmed people on a mental level. What use are so-called "evil cultivator weapons" or protective suits? You'll still die!

Wei Hong shook her head.

"As for the weapons we use... it's not really of much use to tell you now, but things have been quite turbulent lately, so it's understandable to show them to you. Come with me."

Lin Yijue was overjoyed. He had thought he had been rejected, but the situation had taken an unexpected turn. He didn't say anything more, just chuckled twice.

I rubbed my hands together and followed.

A few minutes later, in the club's second-floor office.

Lin Yijue and Wei Hong stood facing each other, the bright incandescent light overhead casting a veil-like glow.

"In recent years, there have been new breakthroughs in gunpowder technology. Technology has developed rapidly. The new pistols alone, in terms of power, are already powerful enough to injure people at close range."

As a result, many gun-fu techniques have emerged in various fighting styles. Even within our Yun Sheng Sect, several members have attempted to combine the Yun Sheng Step with gun-fighting techniques.

But if we're talking about equipment that I actually use frequently, there are only three types.

Wei Hong took a step forward, bowed slightly, clenched her right fist, and faced upwards.

"The first one is naturally the boxing gloves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly, and his right fist shot forward like a bayonet the instant he moved.

With a soft, whistling sound, though it didn't seem particularly powerful, a large hole was punched through the table in front of him, piercing the beautiful calendar.

It felt like being shot by an air rifle.

"The second is spiked shoes."

He pulled his right hand back, put his feet together, and then kicked forward with his right foot. This time the sound was much louder, like a firecracker going off with a loud bang.

That kick was like popping a balloon.

"Finally, there's the ox-tail knife."

Wei Hong pulled her legs back, her hands loosely clenched, as if holding a knife.

He stepped forward with a cloud-like gait, lightly slashing with his knife in both hands.

This time there was no unusual noise, no, there was still some; the other party was making hissing sounds from time to time.

Lin Yijue watched silently from the side, initially quite interested, but after the other party performed the so-called bull tail knife for half a minute, he eventually became a little impatient.

He came here to verify whether the powerful consciousness seed and energy treasure are related to the use of experts, and if so, to see if he could get them for free.

Unexpectedly, the other party started with a presentation as soon as they came in...

There is absolutely no substantive content.

"Master Wei, so your weapon is the Void Ox Tail Blade?" Seeing Wei Hong still wielding the "Void Ox Tail Blade" back and forth, making a constant hissing sound, and still dancing around, he finally couldn't help but ask with a look of admiration.

"Uh, no, that's not it." Wei Hong was engrossed in her swordplay and her rhythm was interrupted by this sudden enthusiasm. She spoke subconsciously, but seeing Lin Yijue's longing expression, she felt a little embarrassed to admit that she hadn't mastered the Cloud Rising Blade technique. With a blank expression, she waved her hand casually.

"I've actually mastered the Cloud Rising Blade quite well, but I don't like to rely too much on external tools, so this is my weapon..."

As he spoke, he coughed, strode to his desk, pulled open a drawer, and took out a black briefcase that resembled a laptop bag.

The suitcase wasn't locked; it opened with a gentle touch.

Inside the dark, gleaming black silk box, a pair of pale black boxing gloves lay quietly.

The gloves are made of the hide of some kind of wild animal, which is cool and tough to the touch. The lines fit the shape of the hand, making them look both ancient and powerful.

Several dark crystals of varying sizes, polished smooth, are inlaid at the knuckles, resembling some kind of obsidian or a deeper mineral. They are not for decoration; they are located at the most densely packed points of contact when the gauntlet strikes.

Lin Yijue's attention was completely drawn to the box, and his eyes lit up when he saw the boxing gloves inside.

"This is……"

The boxing gloves gleamed with a dull luster under the light.

As his gaze focused, a line of tiny text indeed appeared on the surface: Obsidian Heart-Shaped Gauntlets (Blue).

"This is my beloved possession. I call it the Lion's Fang. It was given to me by my master when I achieved the Lesser Completion of the Cloud Ascension Return to Origin Flow. It has dark crystals on its surface," Wei Hong said, leaning closer.

"Dark Crystal?" Lin Yijue casually started a conversation. He really didn't know what this thing was, but at the moment, none of that mattered.

"This is a magical mineral that comes from the Earth Gate. Weapons made from it have many amazing uses, especially when entering the Black Tide and facing alien monsters," Wei Hong said casually.

Its specific function was not explained at all.

Lin Yijue didn't take it to heart, his face showing curiosity and admiration.

"Can I touch the guard?" he asked.

"You can touch it, but don't wear it. This thing is not only heavy, but also very 'straining' because of the presence of the dark crystal. It's not something you can use right now," Wei Hong said generously.

"Struggling?" Lin Yijue feigned doubt as he asked, while impatiently moving closer and reaching out to gently touch the boxing gloves.

"It's strenuous, literally. It means that your physical strength will be depleted quickly during use," Wei Hong explained from the side.

Lin Yijue nodded and made "oh oh" sounds, but his attention was still on the boxing gloves. His fingertips kept moving closer and closer, and the moment they touched the petals.

"Having come into contact with strong seeds of consciousness, should we proceed with the sowing?"

Insufficient seed positions, sowing failed.

Lin Yijue's pupils contracted slightly, startled by the information that appeared in his mind.

What does it mean when there are insufficient seed positions and the sowing fails?

When he first transmigrated and came into contact with the worn-out beginner's boxing gloves, they weren't like this.

"No, not enough seed slots... Could it be because I've already planted a gauntlet tree? Like equipment in a game, where you can only equip one weapon of the same type?"

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could think further, another piece of information appeared.

……

"Should we proceed with energy harvesting?"
