I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

[Army Master Lv1 (Transcendent)]

[Upgrade Required: Experience Points 0/10000, Divinity 329/1000]

At last... the first Sublimated Skill appeared.

As Xue Jing had anticipated, regular skills, once sublimated, resulted in an Extraordinary Skill much like True Martial that merged with him.

"[Army Master]... It must mean the master of weapons, a name similar to one of the seven great titles 'Army Master,' quite the coincidence."

Xue Jing closed the panel, eager to test the effects.

He calmed his mind and introspected, feeling the changes occurring in his body.

Hmm... there seemed to be no change.

Unlike when True Martial was activated, Army Master didn't bring about any changes to his body.

This wasn't surprising since the Combat Skills didn't strengthen his body but instead bestowed upon him the ultimate talent in wielding weapons.

"Since there is no change to the body, then the effects of the skill must lie solely in the use of weapons..."

Xue Jing reached out and picked up the nine-foot alloy spear standing beside him.

The moment he grasped the shaft of the spear, he experienced a completely different feeling than before.

In his hands, the spear—with all its information including strength, toughness, hardness, length, diameter, weight, where on the shaft there were defects, weak points, minute nicks on the tip, whether it was in a state of metal fatigue—all this information emerged in his mind, accurate to the slightest detail.

With a slight swing, the spear swept through the air.

Where his palm was best positioned, at what angle the spear would inflict the most damage, how much force it could withstand before sustaining damage... he knew it all instinctively.

Xue Jing had never thought he could understand a weapon so thoroughly to such an extent.

It was as if this was not a foreign spear randomly picked from the Zhige Base for practice but an old companion that had been with him for countless years, perfectly attuned to him at the maximum level.
Stay tuned to empire

"Any weapon, without any practice or refinement, is perfectly adapted to as soon as I touch it..."

Xue Jing nodded, the effect quite fitting for the name [Army Master].

But... that wasn't all.

Xue Jing had a strange feeling now.

It was as if he could... control the weapon in his hand at will.

He toyed with the spear for a while, gained an insight, and with an instinctive thought...

The spear in his hand immediately began to transform, with the touchpoint of Xue Jing's palm as the starting point, a layer of platinum color spread like flowing water.

The platinum color continuously covered the spear, and soon, the entire spear was thoroughly imbued.

At this moment, with [Army Master]'s effect of penetrating weapon information, Xue Jing immediately sensed the updated information of the spear in his hand after it was imbued with the platinum color.

"The strength has improved several times, the defects on the shaft have been filled, and the slight nicks on the blade are sharpened again..."

"Directly elevated the weapon's level by several, probably not any worse than the Crouching Rabbit Sword," Xue Jing said in mild surprise.

[Army Master] effect number two—Weapon Strengthening.

This was tantamount to having a superpower, truly worthy of an Extraordinary Skill.

"White Emperor relates to metal, primarily commands weapons and war, so it manifests externally as platinum color?"

With the platinum spear held horizontally, Xue Jing suddenly released his grip.

Yet the spear didn't fall to the ground, but instead floated in mid-air.

Xue Jing thought, and at once...

The spear started spinning in the air faster and faster, making a 'dadadada' sound like a helicopter's rotors.

"Interesting, once enhanced by [Army Master] and imbued with the platinum color, it's as if a magical weapon from an Immortal cultivation novel, capable of being freely controlled as if achieving an effect similar to 'weapon command'."

Following Xue Jing's will, the spear performed multiple techniques in the air—thrust, lift, chop, parry, collapse, stab—nimbly as if an invisible spear master was practicing with it.

"Hmm? Wait a second, this effect..."

Xue Jing suddenly thought of something, looked around, and scanned the surroundings.

Then he jumped down from the rooftop to the courtyard below.

He reached out and pulled a half-meter long weed from the yard.

Then with a thought, he initiated [Army Master]'s strengthening effect.

Platinum color instantly emerged, imbuing the soft and fragile weed in his hand with the flow, transforming it into a hard, sharp 'Sword of Grass.'

After a few chops with the platinum grass sword in his hand, Xue Jing stroked his chin and said:

"Anything I recognize as a weapon can be 'strengthened'..."

"No wonder it feels so familiar; taking any weapon in hand, instantly commanding it and mastering it perfectly, and even enhancing its level..."

Xue Jing thought of a special ability from a certain work.

"The Knight is not left unarmed?"

He tossed the weed aside.

"If that's the case..."

He lifted his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and stared at his fist, murmuring:

"How could a fist not count as a weapon?"

No sooner had he spoken than the platinum color immediately formed, dyeing his fist into a Platinum Fist.

"Heh, the Platinum Star turns out to be myself?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, swung the Platinum Fist, and punched down toward the floor.

"Bang—!!"

A loud sound erupted, and the floor directly shattered and cracked open, the ground within a hundred meters trembling slightly as if a minor earthquake occurred, startling countless people in the Zhige Base.

"The force is mutual... but I barely felt the burden of the reactive force from this punch."

"Both defense and attack power have significantly increased, a great ability... After obtaining Conqueror's Haki, Armed Color Domineering is now in my grasp, though the color is a bit off."
