I Have a Golden Crow

"Your mobile wallet has received two thousand yuan."

Is there anything more delightful than this electronic sound in the world?

In the office, Du Yu couldn't help but feel a quiet joy as he listened to his smartphone's wallet notification.

He had crafted four Demon Soldiers, which Chen Lingxi had already taken for submission, and the Demon Spirit Bookstore certainly transfers money quickly!

Great, now I can set up a display cabinet in the empty room at home.

When the time comes, I'll exhibit all my Merit Demon Soldiers and rings!

Hmm... I could also buy two more pairs of slippers, the ones at home with the cute Lightning Cat design always seem like they're meant for girls?

At the office desk, Wang Zongying smiled at Du Yu: "Your first attempt at crafting Demon Soldiers resulted in 5 trials with only 1 failure; it seems you have potential as a Demon Weapon Master."

A Demon Weapon Master refers to a Demon Tamer who specializes in crafting various Demon Soldiers.

In fact, anyone who reaches the level of a Demon Tamer can become a Demon Weapon Master, since you already possess the qualifications to forge Demon Soldiers.

However, to become a true "Demon Weapon Master," you will pay a lot and sacrifice a lot as well.

To put it simply, every Demon Soldier embedded with an array brings a certain amount of spiritual damage to the creator!

This means that the role of a Demon Weapon Master makes it difficult to achieve the pinnacle of personal power.

To put it bluntly, the majority of Demon Weapon Masters have accepted their fate.

There are plenty of people trapped at certain levels in this world.

Some still bang their heads against the wall, painstakingly cultivating, while others recognize reality and pivot to the field of Demon Weapon Mastery.

For example, if a Great Demon Tamer realizes that his talent is lacking and he will never advance again in this lifetime, he won't worry about spiritual damage either.

What's lost can be replaced, after all, he has no ambition to advance any further.

Such resigned individuals make up the majority in the Demon Weapon Master community.

Moreover, the higher the rank of the Demon Weapon Master, the rarer they are.

This is because a high power level implies explosive talent and potential, making such individuals unwilling to cripple themselves to exchange their strength for worldly wealth.

The contradiction lies in the fact that high-quality Demon Soldiers can only be crafted by high-level Demon Weapon Masters, which is why Great Xia greatly needs talent in this area.

Simply speaking about the Divine Weapon·Cold Lake Sword within Shaohai Province.

Research suggests that the Demon Soldier Array on the Cold Lake Sword embeds at least 5 skills, and with careful distinction, could possibly reach as many as 7!

What kind of concept is this?

Du Yu's Demon Soldier Bow only has a single Continuous Pearl Array, and he's already very pleased.

The Cold Lake Sword's one array includes seven skills!

The Demon Weapon Master who crafted the Cold Lake Sword likely had his Demon Soul shattered the day he succeeded in forging the Divine Weapon.

Or perhaps, the Demon Weapon Master may not even be alive...

Of course, it's also possible that the Cold Lake Sword didn't originally have so many skills and developed the array's effects on its own on the Road to Heaven.

Anyway, the point stands.

If Du Yu were to follow the path of a Demon Weapon Master, beginning his research on crafting Demon Soldiers and embedding quality arrays during the Great Demon Tamer Stage, his cultivation speed would drastically decrease.

By the time he has the capability to forge Divine Weapon blades, he'll be quite close to being disabled...

Great Xia indeed needs all sorts of talents, but Du Yu thought, it's best to focus solely on Demon Taming.

Let the resigned people handle Demon Soldier crafting.

It's fine to play around and experience it.

As for the future, if as he grows stronger, he can't find a suitable weapon...

Great Xia's map features so many Divine Weapon blades!

That Mountain Fire Saber looks quite good~

"No, I'm just here to experience it," Du Yu shook his head repeatedly, "I'll try embedding arrays again when I reach the stage of a Great Demon Tamer, and leave it at that."

Wang Zongying nodded lightly, not pressing further.

To put it crudely: some professions are like that; good people don't want to do them, and bad people can't do them well.

"The evaluation has been prepared over there, let's go, I'll take you to try it. By the way, has your Demon Spirit Atlas been updated?"

"It's already updated!" Du Yu flipped through the atlas, and a new option "Activity Information" appeared in the toolbar.

The Celestial Demon Tamer's atlas is clearly different from the beginner's guide.

In hindsight, perhaps Master Qing asked me to come to the bookstore headquarters to upgrade the atlas version?

The two left the office, took the elevator down to the first floor, and headed straight for the indoor training hall on the west side of the ground floor.

Only then did Du Yu realize he had been here before, during the first "Bottomless" assessment when the students gathered here.

Unlike the previous emptiness, the arena was now filled with various equipment.

"Here we are, Brother Wang!"

"Zongying."

Amid greetings, Wang Zongying put an arm around Du Yu's shoulders with a smile and said, "This young fellow is Du Yu, I guess everyone knows him, so no need to introduce further."

Feeling the gaze of numerous eyes, Du Yu felt a bit embarrassed and greeted a few staff members.

"Come on, don't be shy." Wang Zongying took a step back, "It's perfect timing for me to see the Heterochromatic Fire Fox's grace."

"Ying!"

A burst of Demon Breath assembled in front of Du Yu's forehead, and Xiaoyan quietly appeared. A long tail wrapped around Du Yu's neck, and with a gentle sway, it perched on Du Yu's shoulder.

The highly spirited golden-brown fox eyes curiously examined the surroundings.

As Du Yu remained calm, Xiaoyan didn't feel overly cautious either.
