Jia Nan College, a renowned Dou Qi institution on the Dou Qi Continent, is one of the few schools outside the sects and families. In the northwest continent, Canaan Academy holds significant power. In Mo Yu's impression, Canaan Academy seems to conceal several exceptionally powerful figures who have never appeared in public.
However, in Mo Yu's future plans, he had no intention of attending Canaan College. After all, Canaan Academy is best known for its martial arts and fighting skills, which are not particularly scarce for Mo Yu, who has been reborn.
Additionally, Canaan College is said to possess a rare and high-ranking strange fire, but with Xuan Lei by his side, Mo Yu isn't very interested in it.
Nevertheless, now that Xiao Yu had mentioned it, Mo Yu naturally could not and would not refuse.
Upon hearing Mo Yu's straightforward response, Xiao Yu's pretty face revealed a joyful smile. Deep down, she grew more convinced of Mo Yu's role as her fiancé, like a bamboo shoot sprouting in spring.
After resolving the matter, Xiao Yu gently wiped the sweat off Mo Yu's body, then blushed and said goodbye.
Watching Xiao Yu leave in a hurry, Mo Yu shook his head with mixed emotions.
In his previous life, when he first crossed over to this continent, he had also harbored a beautiful yearning for true love between men and women. During a treasure hunt, he met a woman of exceptional looks and talent. In a twist of fate, they ended up together, establishing a relationship.
Mo Yu devoted himself completely to the girl, and they were deeply in love, vowing to be together forever. However, things did not always go as planned. While avoiding a formidable enemy, Mo Yu had to hide in a distant place for several years. Upon returning, despite his increased strength and having defeated his enemy, he found that his beloved had become involved with another man.
There was no dramatic betrayal or deception. When Mo Yu asked the girl why, she simply responded, "I liked you before, but now I like him more, that's all."
This revelation made Mo Yu realize how fickle people could be.
Mo Yu was unsure if he could hold onto Xiao Yu forever, but he didn't care. He believed in the power of strength. If he could become the supreme ruler in the future and Xiao Yu still stayed with him, Mo Yu would be willing to give her all the respect and honor she deserved. And if Xiao Yu changed her mind along the way, Mo Yu would discard her without any regrets.
With these thoughts, Mo Yu pushed aside distracting emotions and, half a minute after Xiao Yu left, took out five lightning magic cores from his ring.
Three hours later, as the sun was setting and the sky darkening, the young man walked down the mountain. His aura had noticeably changed.
Two-star fighter!
...
The next morning, Mo Yu rose early. After using the Suzaku Burning Sky Thunder to devour the five second-level lightning magic cores and absorbing the energy fed back by the Black Thunder, Mo Yu not only successfully broke through to a two-star fighter but also reached the peak of the two-star fighter rank.
Mo Yu even felt that with one or two more second-level magic cores, he could advance further to a three-star fighter.
Breaking through two stars in one month might seem excessive to other fighters, but Mo Yu had no such concerns. Given his current physical condition, although not a fully mature Tiangang Thunder Body, it was still reasonable to achieve this level of advancement in a month.
Considering this, Mo Yu refocused on acquiring magic cores.
Before leaving Wutan City, he also needed to gather other auxiliary materials for refining the beast ring and the Divine Black Thunder Spear, which required a large amount of gold coins.
As the saying goes, "A penny can make a hero fall." Although the previous auction of Xuan-level fighting skills had temporarily addressed his needs, it was not a long-term solution. Relying on auctions for Xuan-level fighting skills frequently would arouse suspicion. Even a major force like the Yunlan Sect couldn't continually provide so many Xuan-level fighting skills for auction.
Therefore, Mo Yu decided to return to his old profession: equipment refining.
Just like a pharmacist, an equipment refiner could make money easily.
After assessing his finances early in the morning, Mo Yu began shopping. He planned to refine two different weapons: the Tiger's Mouth Breaking Formation Knife and the Dark Snake Shadow Sword.
Although these weapons were only second-level, their grades were sufficient. In the Dou Qi Continent, where elixirs and alchemists are highly respected, high-quality weapons are rare. In remote areas like Wu Tan City, good weapons are even scarcer.
Thus, despite being only second-level, these weapons would be highly attractive to fighting masters and even great fighting masters, ensuring they would fetch a good price.
With this decision made, Mo Yu didn't hesitate and went out to start shopping.
One reason Mo Yu chose these two weapons was their use of extremely common materials. After spending half a day and 20,000 gold coins, he collected all necessary materials.
After completing his collection, Mo Yu entered a nearby inn and didn't come out until an hour later.
…
At the Mittel Auction House, in the treasure appraisal room, Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer, was looking at the two weapons on the table with surprise.
On the left was a long sword, nearly two meters in length, with strong energy fluctuations. The handle was elaborately carved with a tiger's mouth, and strange fighting spirit patterns on the blade emitted a faint light.
On the right was a dagger, extremely short, about an inch long, and completely black. It exuded a dangerous and deadly aura.
"These two weapons are the Tiger's Mouth Breaking Formation Knife and the Dark Snake Shadow Sword. I'm entrusting them to your auction house for sale," Mo Yu said calmly, wearing a black robe.
After much deliberation and completing the weapons, Mo Yu brought them to the Mittel Auction House, knowing that auctions could fetch higher prices.
Seeing these two exceptionally crafted weapons, Ya Fei's mouth slightly opened in astonishment. Her eyes widened with surprise, and her figure drew an alluring arc as she observed the weapons.
Just as Mo Yu had guessed, due to the rarity of weapon refiners on the Dou Qi Continent, high-quality weapons were extremely scarce. Although Mo Yu's refined weapons were only second-level, his unique technique made them comparable to some third-level weapons. Such quality had rarely been seen at the Mittel Auction House in recent years.
Moreover, constantly auctioning elixirs, fighting skills, and martial arts techniques could become monotonous. Introducing these two high-quality weapons would add variety and showcase the auction's prestige.
Ya Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, her charming eyes scanning the black-robed man before her. A hint of shyness flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Her face then brightened with a full, enchanting smile. "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few months, you would bring such an impressive contribution to our auction."
