Chapter-7

'Beep Beep Beep'(phone alarm)

Zhou Li woke up as his eyes opened to the bright sunshine flowing through the window. He had made the alarm for 6 am. He would be able to wake up normally on previous days but he felt his body ache and sore because of the breakthrough he had to do at the midnight. But he didn't want to be late for the training with his grandpa. He would eat his breakfast and arrive at his grandpa's house at 7:30 and he would have to train with him till 11. He would have to wait for his sister who was a lazy bum to get up and cook because he couldn't cook. The reason why she even agreed to his request was also that she was a lazy bum. She would never go outside unless necessary. Though she would go out with her best friend a few times for shopping, she would most likely be staying at home unless it was for chocolate and sweets. She had a sweet tooth since she was young and he would often have to give most of his sweets to her. He didn't mind though. She was very cute and he couldn't resist her googling eyes even if he wanted to.

She was an early sleeper. She would sleep at eight and wake up at 6:30.

He just woke up so the scene before him was blurry and he felt that his mind was in shambles. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't. He felt that his head was spinning. It took a few minutes for his mind to calm down. He then opened his eyes to see a blue screen floating in the void as it had always been there.

There was a percentage bar there

[99%]

[100%]

Then words began to form on the blue screen that was floating.

[Hello master, I am your spirit weapon]

"Spirit weapon"

"My spirit weapon is a broken black sword, not you"

[The black sword is indeed your spirit weapon but I am also your spirit weapon]

[Master can check if he likes]

He used his qi to check into his sea of consciousness and there he saw a black sword that was floating in space. The black sword had a golden string that connected to him. The color of the string was bright as he felt the strong connection between him and the sword. Below him, there was a blue sea. From the blue sea, ripples started to form and a black cube started to surface itself. Then a string that was colorless started to shine golden as bright as the string that was connected to the sword. This was the string of unwavering. Those which are spirit weapons whether conscious or not would be connected with this string. He could feel the same feeling that was coming from the blue panel on the black cube. With this string attached, he was sure that it was his spirit weapon. Spirit weapons couldn't hurt their user. He knows this personally because he had tested it with the black sword. The sword that was sharp enough to cut iron and even stronger weapons easily, couldn't cut through his skin. The blade felt like there was no sharp edge to it and it would not go through his skin and make him bleed unless he wanted to.

The thing was that there was no record of a person ever having two spirit weapons and both high-level ones to boot. When people found out about spirit weapons, there were also rankings of spirit weapons and he knew that both of his weapons could top the chart. In his previous life, he had fought a person who had the top ranking on the ranking list and knew that his black sword could rival it or be even stronger than it. He felt that this black cube will not lose out to his black sword. It was his gut feeling that was telling him this. He returned to reality after looking at the black cube for a few moments longer.

[Did you really need to check?]

[Can you not believe it when a girl with such a cute voice is telling you, master]

"What voice, I can't hear anything"

[...]

[Master, are you lying to me]

"No"

He said with a serious tone and dead fish eyes.

[Noooooo, I knew it, it was because of that, I should have known]

For a few minutes, she talked to herself.

"Ahem"

He coughed to make her know his presence.

[Ahh, sorry master I got lost in my train of thoughts]

"Anyways, how should I address you"

[My name, I don't have a name, master]

[You can name me, master]

"Should I really?"

[I am yourrr spirit weapon, you know, master]

"Then I will call you Chunhua"

[Chunhua, Chunhua]

She repeated it a few more times like she was a child who had gotten a lollipop.

[Also, master you can just talk to me with your mind you know]

[it might be weird for the girl who is trying to peek through the door]

Then the door creaked so he looked towards the door. Though he couldn't see who was behind the door but who else would be there unless for his sister.

Inside a beautifully decorated pink room, there was Zhou Lihua who had woken up. She removed the pink sleep mask and got up from the bed as she stopped the alarm that was ringing. She yawned as she wanted a little bit more sleep, but she had to make breakfast for her big brother so she didn't sleep for a little while longer like she always did. When she went to the dining room, she didn't see her big brother. She looked towards the place he would always sit and read a newspaper for the last few days. He was not there.

'Maybe he is tired and slept a little longer '

She thought that her big brother would also have this trait of hers where she slept a little longer.

'Or did he leave during the night again'

She needed to check so she went to his room and she heard him talking.

'Maybe he is on the phone '

She opened the door a little bit. She felt that it was not loud and would most likely be drowned by his talking voice and she thought he was concentrated on talking so he wouldn't notice the door opening a bit but when she peeked through the open crack, what she saw was her big brother looking at her with a smile.
