Chapter 119: 119
Chapter 119: Connate Spirit Weapon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the Weapon Peak face-off ended, many disciples dispersed gradually .
The disheveled old man stopped Su Zimo . Coming before the Spirit Weapon Chamber, he laughed and said, “The prize for the number one of Weapon Peak is to be able to get a spirit weapon of his choosing in the Spirit Weapon Chamber . Go on in . ”
Su Zimo’s achievement of attaining the number one of Weapon Peak was an honor for the disheveled old man as well . The way he looked at Su Zimo was filled with pride .
The Spirit Weapon Chamber in Weapon Peak was filled with pseudo and inferior-grade spirit weapons . As for middle-grade spirit weapons, only inner sect disciples of Foundation Establishment realm were qualified to obtain them on Ethereal Peak .
Actually, given Su Zimo’s current ability in weapon refinement, inferior-grade spirit weapons were no longer attractive to him .
However, since it was the sect’s Spirit Weapon Chamber after all, he decided to go take a look inside .
“There are various types of spirit weapons in the Spirit Weapon Chamber . Do you have anything in mind?” The disheveled old man asked .
Su Zimo shook his head and questioned, “Do you have any suggestions, master?”
“Indeed, I do have one . ”
The disheveled old man pondered for a moment before saying, “You have a fight left with Feng Haoyu after the five peaks face-off . To be fair, you don’t stand much of a chance winning . ”
That was obviously an euphemistic statement .
All five peak masters felt that Su Zimo had zero chance of winning!
The disheveled old man continued, “Therefore, I suggest you choose an inferior-grade defensive spirit weapon . That way, you won’t be injured badly even if you lose . ”
In general, spirit weapons were divided into three types . For offensive spirit weapons, the most common were flying swords . There were also defensive spirit weapons such as shields, armor and heart protecting mirrors . Lastly, there were support spirit weapons that came in all shapes, sizes and uses .

For offensive spirit weapons, the more spirit patterns and the higher grade they were, the more killing power they possessed .
Vice versa, the higher the grade of defensive spirit weapons, the more damage they can prevent .
Su Zimo did not comment . Nodding his head, he entered the Spirit Weapon Chamber .
Rows of spirit weapons were displayed within the Spirit Weapon Chamber with flying swords taking up the majority; there were less defensive and support spirit weapons .
Su Zimo looked through the entire place and did not find anything of particular use to him .
For defensive spirit weapons, he could refine them at any moment and he did not have to choose from one here .
As for the other spirit weapons, they were of little value to his current state .
Right as Su Zimo was about to randomly pick a spirit weapon and leave, he caught sight of a golden light shining for a brief moment at the corner of his eyes .
“Hmm?”
Stopping in his tracks, he turned to look .
After checking through the place, he did not find the source of the golden light . He thought that he was seeing things .
Standing motionlessly on the spot and pausing for a moment, the golden light shone once more!
This time round, Su Zimo saw it clearly .
The source of the golden light was from the ground in a corner of the defensive spirit weapon section .
“Why is the ground reflecting golden light?”
Feeling that something was amiss, he walked closer to take a better look .
The ground seemed to be covered by a golden silk cloth that was filled with dust . It seemed as though it was left there for a long time without anyone bothering about it .
The golden light was reflected from this beneath the thick dust covering it .
In the Spirit Weapon Chamber, be it pseudo or inferior-grade spirit weapons, everything was placed on their respective shelves .
What was the reason for the golden silk cloth to be thrown on the ground?
Su Zimo used his sleeves to brush away the dust, looking at it intently .

The golden silk cloth looked to be a defensive type of inner armor . Weaved with golden thread, it was only a thin layer . With an additional layer of dust covering it on the ground, it was difficult to notice it even when people walked by .
It ‘looked’ to be a pseudo spirit weapon .
The reason why it ‘looked’ to be was because there was a single spirit pattern on the armor . However, it was broken into several portions and even injecting spirit qi to it was not enough for it to unleash its strength as a spirit weapon .
However, there was a strange thing . If spirit weapons were to receive a devastating blow, the spirit patterns would dissipate rather than break into several portions . In fact, most spirit weapons would end up breaking as well .
Yet, the armor before him was not only perfect, its spirit pattern had not dissipated as well!
That was quite contradictory .
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and decided to take this pseudo spirit weapon as his reward .
Extending his palm, he grabbed the golden inner armor on the ground casually . Just as he was about to turn and leave, his expression changed .
“Hmm?”
“I can’t lift it?”
The golden silk armor was still lying motionlessly on the ground .
Even though Su Zimo did not activate his Power of Blood, that single grab of his had at least a ton worth of strength!
“How is this thing so heavy?”
Su Zimo was surprised . Using both arms, he grabbed it .
However, the golden inner armor was merely slightly lifted with most of it still on the ground .
Finally, Su Zimo understood why the golden inner armor was left casually on the ground .
If it was placed on the stone racks, they would crumble instantly!
Su Zimo’s heart stirred . He took off his storage bag and channeled his blood . Instantly, his eyes shone bright red and his veins popped up . As a shocking power burst forth from his body, he yanked the golden inner armor and stuffed it into his storage bag .
No matter how heavy something was, it would be light as air inside the storage bag .
Slowly, Su Zimo composed his blood and after his demon form disappeared, he walked out of the Spirit Weapon Chamber .
“Have you chosen?” The disheveled old man was waiting outside as he asked upon Su Zimo’s exit .
Nodding his head, Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before saying, “I saw a strange golden inner armor inside . I’ve got no idea where it came from but I brought it out . ”
“Golden inner armor?”
The disheveled old man frowned and thought for a while . Suddenly, his expression changed as he exclaimed, “Mystic Gold Silk Armor!”
“Mystic Gold Silk Armor? So, that’s the name of that pseudo spirit weapon,” Su Zimo murmured softly .
“Pseudo spirit weapon?”
The disheveled old man’s gaze turned odd .
“Isn’t it a pseudo spirit weapon? I saw a spirit pattern on it, but it was broken into several segments and it cant be used . Isn’t that considered as just a pseudo spirit weapon?” Su Zimo asked .
The disheveled old man looked emotional as he asked, “Su Zimo, do you know how many different grades there are for spirit weapons?”
“Four . Inferior, middle, superior and supreme,” Su Zimo replied .
Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo recalled a speculation he had previously and continued, “If four spirit patterns create a supreme-grade, perhaps there’s a perfect-grade with five spirit patterns . ”
The disheveled old man gave a look of approval and nodded . “Not bad . Indeed, there are perfect spirit weapons above supreme-grades . ”
Right after, the disheveled old man asked again, “But, do you know what’s above perfect-grade?”
“There’s more after perfect-grades?” Su Zimo was surprised .
With a deep voice, the disheveled old man said, “Connate comes after perfect . Connate spirit weapons!”
“What are connate spirit weapons?”
“They are created by the universe and formed after absorbing an endless amount of spirit qi . Perfect spirit weapons have five spirit patterns but connate spirit weapons have six! The sixth is known as the connate pattern!”

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
