Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

He accepted the hot tea, sighing with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Song Yan scratched his head, his gaze toward Lu Chao filled with admiration and gratitude for avenging a great wrong.

To the side, Zheng Wu wore a proud smile, as if sharing in the glory, along with a hidden trace of fear and relief.

That was Li Gusha, at the Peak of Limit-Breaking. Even their senior uncle had been ambushed by him and almost died.

’It’s a true blessing for the Golden Stone lineage that Junior Brother is alright.’

Then, in the peaceful atmosphere, the two of them—martial uncle and nephew—made some small talk.

"It’s just a shame that things were so urgent. I wasn’t able to question him about the identity of that man in black."

Lu Chao sighed with regret as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

’He had actually wanted to interrogate Li Gusha about it at the time.’

’But under the circumstances, he’d had a team of specialists to protect and had to stay on guard for other ambushes or unexpected events. He simply couldn’t afford to be distracted. In the end, the urgency of the situation forced him to eliminate his opponent as quickly as possible.’

"It’s alright."

Ge Hongfeng, however, seemed unconcerned. He smiled and said reassuringly, "That person probably has no grudge against me. He only acted because of that old fiend, Li."

"Now that the old fiend is dead, he surely won’t show his face again."

He appeared magnanimous, but he also didn’t want Lu Chao to get entangled in any more feuds.

After a few more words of earnest persuasion, he smoothly changed the subject and gestured for Song Yan to open the leather case he’d been holding the entire time.

It was square and about an arm’s length long.

Lu Chao looked over curiously. Inside, he saw a pair of Fighting Weapons.

They were a pair of metal armguards, solid silver in color. The material was incredibly sturdy, seemingly forged from some kind of alloy.

They also had articulated metal fingers that were very flexible. The backs of the hands were also covered in silver metal, and several streamlined, force-dissipating grooves were etched into the wrists.

"I’m getting old. I’ve lost the heart for fighting and competition."

"This last encounter was a brush with death, and it’s made me do a lot of thinking."

Ge Hongfeng let out a self-deprecating laugh, a flicker of nostalgia in his eyes as he looked at the weapons in the case.

"Years ago, while traveling through the Alliance Country, I happened to acquire a piece of manganese steel alloy and some Beast King Materials. I never quite knew what to do with them."

"After thinking it over, I realized you are the most suitable person for them. So, I had them forged into these weapons..."

he said with a sincere smile.

Lu Chao was taken aback for a moment, instantly realizing they were a thank-you gift.

Needless to say, the manganese steel alloy was extremely valuable. Even on the Superpower Bureau’s internal network, a small piece would cost tens of thousands of contribution points, and this was clearly much more than a small piece.

The same went for the Beast King Materials.

"Go on, try them on."

Ge Hongfeng said with a smile, not showing the slightest bit of regret at giving them away.

Behind him, Song Yan also looked at Lu Chao, his eyes filled with gratitude and anticipation.

"Senior Uncle..."

"Try them."

Ge Hongfeng said again, his tone insistent.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lu Chao finally picked up the gauntlets and tried putting them on.

The process was effortless; they slid onto his arms with ease.

His entire forearms and hands were perfectly encased. The dense, sturdy manganese steel alloy provided the best defense; even an expert at the Exploration Level would find them difficult to destroy.

Feeling them carefully, he noticed a soft inner lining made from the Beast King’s Tendons and Membranes, designed to absorb a great deal of external impact.

He could even sense several key nodes within them, as if they could be activated with his Qi Flame to produce some kind of effect.

HUMMM!

Instantly, on pure instinct,

Lu Chao circulated his technique. His brown Golden Stone Flame surged out from within the armguards, enveloping them completely.

"This pair of gauntlets is called ’Quake-Edge.’ They won’t interfere with the use of your Qi Flame. We incorporated some of the Beast King’s Tendons and Membranes and built in some hidden mechanisms."

Ge Hongfeng’s face was full of admiration, as if he were appraising a masterpiece. "Not only do they enhance your defense and absorb external impacts, but if you channel your Qi Flame to activate the hidden mechanisms, you can generate a concussive force, boosting the destructive power of your Qi Flame."

"Furthermore, they allow you to change the direction of your punch mid-strike without losing speed, throwing off your opponent’s judgment. The force-dissipating grooves on the armguards also have a clever function: they reduce air resistance, increasing the speed of your punches."

He explained one by one, detailing the wondrous features of the gauntlets.

The more Lu Chao heard, the more he liked them, and the more he felt the profound weight of this gift.

The python-skin gloves Brother Hao had given him could no longer keep up with his progress, so he had stored them away in a box as a keepsake.

But now, he had these gauntlets.

’They weren’t just suitable for me now.’

’They would remain useful even after I broke through to the Exploration Level and the Transcendence Level.’

"Thank you, Senior Uncle."

In the end, Lu Chao accepted the gauntlets and offered his solemn thanks.

The value of these Fighting Weapons was difficult to measure in money. He silently committed the debt to memory.

"Ah, don’t be so polite."

Waving his hand, Ge Hongfeng chuckled, his demeanor free and easy.

After some more small talk, he took his leave.

"Oh, right."

Just as they were parting, he seemed to recall something.

"Over at the Hunter Guild, I hear there’s been some trouble recently. The internal strife is getting pretty intense."

"I suspect Little Sister You might be in some trouble. She may come looking for you later."

Ge Hongfeng offered this tactful reminder, his wheelchair pausing in place.

Lu Chao was taken aback by his words, feeling a bit surprised.

Just a few days ago, he had asked Aunt You to help him find a Beast King Level poison to create the "Blood-Poison Mist."

Her tone had been perfectly normal at the time, and she hadn’t contacted him for help since.

"I understand."

Lu Chao understood the warning and made a mental note of it.

After personally seeing the group off, he finally returned to his Cultivation Chamber.

The silver metal gauntlets lay on the table before him.

The smooth alloy surface reflected the light of the room, gleaming with a solid luster that made them seem indestructible.
