Chapter 32: Blade of Atayal (1)



Ordinary prodigals and playboys are everywhere in this imperial capital and in this royal academy. One more Ye Lang doesn't make much difference, and one less Ye Lang doesn't make much either. They are dispensable and are the easiest to be ignored.

This situation may seem a bit magical. In the past, when the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family was a fool, many people paid attention to him. But now that everyone knows that the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family is not a fool, he has become less and less popular, and his popularity and attention have plummeted.

Oh, okay, let me be an "ordinary person" again!

In fact, his declining popularity also had his own reasons, maybe it was because he was too ostentatious before, or maybe it was because he was used to the life of an ordinary person in his previous life. His behavior has always been low-key, and he would only stand out occasionally, but that would soon be forgotten. After all, this is the imperial capital where many things happen, and things happen every day.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, he did not reveal his talent, making people think that his qualifications are very ordinary. Everyone knows that the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family has become smarter, but only compared to before, his qualifications are just that of an ordinary person. Some people even have a strange feeling that the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family is not as smart as before.

Yes, in some ways, that's true. In the past, the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Family would answer questions in a strange way, often with peculiar opinions. Now, if you ask him, his answers are correct, but without those peculiar opinions.

The more this happened, the less people would pay attention to him. Besides, everyone knew that he was a useless person without any talent or attributes. Even if he tried hard, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything.

For the people of this continent, strength is still the most important indicator, so they gradually forgot about Ye Lang, a rare "waste material" in a thousand years.

"Waste! The young master is not a waste, he just doesn't bother to compete with you." Every time Hu Niu heard others talking about her young master, she always felt unhappy and snorted in her heart.

In Hu Niu's heart, her young master is the best, even when he was stupid before, he was still the best, needless to say now. If he was really a waste, how could he teach her martial arts and find a set of martial arts and fighting skills that suit her.

After Hu Niu finished practicing boxing, she entered the weapon stage. She took out a long-handled weapon, the long-handled Mo Dao, one of the four types of Tang swords. The Mo Dao was an important war material for the Tang Dynasty army. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it was used as a military weapon and it was strictly forbidden for the people to privately manufacture and store it. Its predecessor was the horse-cutting sword of the heavy infantry of the Yulin Army, the main infantry of the Han Dynasty that could rival the Xiongnu cavalry.

The Mo Dao has a double edge and a handle four feet long. It was equipped by heavy infantry and was an extremely lethal weapon. It was invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield. However, after the Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao was rarely seen in history. The reason was that the Mo Dao was too expensive to make and was a luxury. Without the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that not many dynasties could afford such military expenditure.

But if it's just one, I believe many people can do it. For Ye Lang, a prodigal son, it's a piece of cake.

After designing, ordering materials, and forging, under the onslaught of a large number of gold coins, a long-handled Mo Dao with exquisite materials and fine workmanship that can be passed down for centuries was created.

In fact, this design was not Ye Lang's own. He created it based on a book called Weapon Catalogue in the martial arts treasure house, and based on the Mo Dao recorded in it. In addition to the records of weapons from various dynasties in China, the weapon catalogue also contains some very unpopular and strange weapons, including the legendary Zhuge Crossbow, a Song Dynasty three-bow crossbow that can fire at the same time, and even records of firearms.

The value of this weapon catalog is probably not much different from Ban's alchemy notes, but it is only memorized in Ye Lang's mind, and he will not give it to anyone.

As for why Ye Lang memorized this weapon catalog, it was actually a common hobby of most boys. They liked to study weapons, whether they were cold weapons or modern weapons.

So when he discovered this weapons catalog, he felt like he had found a treasure. He read it carefully and studied it thoroughly.

Then again, it wasn't a coincidence that he chose the Mo Dao among so many weapons. It was a result of careful consideration. He thought that this Mo Dao was most suitable for Hu Niu. The design page of the Mo Dao also pointed out a modified Yang Family Spear Technique that was specifically designed for the Mo Dao and could bring out the limits of the Mo Dao.

The Yang family's spear techniques were summarized on the battlefield. All of them are the simplest and most direct moves. Although the moves are simple, their power is extraordinary. Moreover, the simpler the moves are, the more malleable they are, and the more likely they are to develop moves that suit them.

When Hu Niu saw the Yang family's spear technique, which was no longer considered a spear technique, her eyes became brighter. It was obvious that she liked this set of martial arts very much, and she liked the Mo Dao that Ye Lang customized for her even more.

In fact, there are some differences between this Mo Dao and the real Mo Dao in the four versions of Tang Dao. There are two versions of Mo Dao in the weapon list, one is the original one, and the other is suitable for warriors. It has been improved to make it more suitable for warriors to use, rather than specifically for the battlefield. After all, it comes from a martial arts treasure house.

This improved version has a very interesting mechanism in the middle, but Ye Lang feels that this mechanism is not suitable for the martial arts of this world. However, he feels that one more doesn't matter, so he keeps it. After all, he doesn't mind a little more manufacturing cost. Isn't this a better way to spend money?

But he never told this to anyone else, including Huniu. It was not that he wanted to hide it from her, but he felt that Huniu would not use these tricks. Most importantly, he understood Huniu's character and knew that she would not use these tricks.

When Hu Niu asked what the Mo Dao was called and what the martial arts were called, Ye Lang thought for a moment and said, "The Mo Dao will be called Hu Niu's Blade, and the martial arts will still be called Yang Family Spear Technique."

As mentioned above, Ye Lang did not want to claim the achievements of his ancestors as his own, nor did he want to change the name casually. He wanted to respect them, just like the person who modified the Yang Family Spear Technique. It was still called the Yang Family Spear Technique, but with the word "modified version" added at the end.

"...Master, can't you be more serious? How do you want me to tell others this name?" Hu Niu said unhappily.

"That's not good, then...Taya Blade."

"...Okay, this one is at least better." Hu Niu probably couldn't find a better name, so let it be. At least this name is acceptable.

On this continent, many tools are named like this, named after the owner or maker, such as Claw of Azshara, Blade of Kro, etc.
