"This is a dragon's arm!"

The lightning sword floated up, looked at the black arm, and slowly spoke.

I nodded slightly. Of course I knew that, because at that moment, something inside my body had already reacted and resonated with this arm.

I don't know what this booklet means by "no destruction, no construction." If it's the literal meaning I understand it to be, does it mean I need to cut off my arm now and reattach this thing?

I asked Lei Jijian for his opinion, and to my surprise, the kid just said that it was most likely true.

I thought about it, shook my head, and decided against it. Gouging out my own eyeballs was already too risky; now I'd rather just cut off an arm.

I honestly don't dare to think about it.

Imagine a man with one arm, a girl who looks about seventeen or eighteen, a pretty awesome sword, and a silly eagle—isn't that Yang Guo?

This scene is so beautiful.

Then I looked at the second box.

As for the contents of the second box, they were also dark. I looked at them closely and they seemed to be the roots or stems of some kind of plant, or perhaps vines.

I leaned closer and sniffed it. I could smell a special fragrance emanating from the vine.

My body was originally very tired, but after absorbing the nutrients, I felt inexplicably clear-headed.

That's amazing!

"This is a divine artifact! This is impossible! How could such a thing exist in this place!"

The lightning sword hovered above the box, and looking at it, the sound was a bit off.

A divine object?

I was puzzled; it was the first time I'd ever heard this term.

When I was browsing through those ancient books before, I had never heard of such a thing. My intuition told me that this was no simple thing.

Lei Jijian explained to me that so-called immortal objects all possess a special kind of immortal energy.

This aura is far more advanced than our energy.

"Oh, in our terms, it's like a dimensional reduction attack, right?"

Lei Jijian kept explaining to me, and after listening for a long time, I finally understood.

The power of this celestial object must be far more advanced than anything we can access.

The two are not on the same dimension at all.

"Yes, that's it! It's incredible that a celestial being could be born in a place like this! Look, this vine is alive! It's even alive!"

The lightning sword hovered, then descended slightly before landing on the dark vine. The next second, the tip of the vine began to wrap around the lightning sword.

They even completely enveloped the lightning sword.

"Watch out! Do you need my help?!"

Seeing this, I was really worried for Lei Jijian.

The lightning sword swayed slightly.

"It's alright, Master. You see, this thing means no harm. This little guy actually seems to like me quite a bit!"

Lightning Strike Swordsmanship.

And so, right in front of me, the Thunder Strike Sword twisted its body.

The black vine instantly wrapped around the lightning sword, completely enveloping it.

"Fuck you!"

I couldn't help but swear, because the black vines had changed and turned into the shape of a sword sheath.

Previously, the Thunderstrike Sword was always bare. I had considered getting it a scabbard, but unfortunately, I hadn't been able to find a suitable one.

Now, things have turned out quite well; the black vine has completely transformed into the shape of a lightning sword.

"Hehe, this is good stuff, really good stuff!"

Lei Jijian excitedly twisted his body repeatedly, and seeing this, I couldn't help but chuckle.

Lei Jijian is an ancient creature that has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years, yet we never expected to see such a childlike reaction from him.

The key point is that these black vines are actually quite nice.

The black vine revealed a small tip, twisting and turning in perfect harmony with the Thunderstrike Sword's body.

I would love such an obedient scabbard, not just for the Thunderstrike Sword, but even for myself.

"Are you still smoking?"

I couldn't help but ask the Thunder Strike Sword, since its initial idea was to absorb the energy inside.

It seems now that we should give up.

"Of course not, I will use my power to nourish this little thing!"

There was even a hint of doting in Lei Jijian's tone. I even suspected that Lei Jijian was female!

It's clear that it treats this black vine like its own child; otherwise, when has the Thunder Strike Sword ever become so gentle?

I don't have that kind of patience.

Lei Jijian told me to pay attention to my box, saying that she felt everything seemed to have been pre-arranged.

Was it arranged?

I thought about what Lei Jijian said, and it actually made some sense.

Both boxes contained living creatures. Although the arm had been cut off, I could still feel a vibrant life force emanating from it.

When I first looked at it, this thing was still wriggling there, especially its claws opening and closing.

"Master, do you remember that thing inside you? I told you before that it would provide you with some help, but it also had a great hidden danger!"

Seeing that I was still hesitating, Lei Jijian started to persuade me again.

I fell silent. Lei Jijian was right. The golden scales I ate could completely cover my body, providing protection and increasing my strength.

However, my body sometimes makes some involuntary movements.

This is how this thing subtly influenced me.

Lei Jijian added, "I told you that as long as I fully integrate the power of that golden scale into this claw at this moment, I can counteract that side effect."

My eyes lit up. I really thought this was a good idea. After all, when I saw this arm, the golden scales inside my body started to react.

Just as I was hesitating, Lei Jijian reminded me again, saying that hesitation will only lead to trouble, and that the booklet had already mentioned it, so I should cut it off quickly.

The saying "no destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction" probably refers to this.

I gritted my teeth and checked it. The arm inside the box should be a left claw.

"Perhaps he didn't mean to cut it off, but to merge it!"

I picked up the left paw; I always felt a strong affinity for it.

For a moment, I even felt that this thing was originally a part of my body.

So I sat down at the table and put my left hand on top of that black left claw.
