Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 213 - 211: Divine Artifact! Divine Level Mount!

Chapter 213: Chapter 211: Divine Artifact! Divine Level Mount!

Initially, Tu Hongwu wasn’t particularly concerned about the ceremonial aspects of taking on a disciple.

However, the primary purpose this time was to create momentum for Su Mo, and everything he wanted was already accomplished moments ago.

The upcoming apprenticeship ceremony was much simpler.

Su Mo, dressed in a red robe, slowly knelt in front of Tu Hongwu and took the drink handed by Su Yu, offering it to his mentor.

Tu Hongwu stroked his red beard, smiling as he accepted Su Mo’s offering, took a gentle sip, and then placed it back on the tray.

"This is the gift from the disciple to the mentor!"

After Su Mo said this, he stood up and immediately opened his system space. With a single wave of his hand, a Divine Level corpse exuding terrifying divine power appeared instantly before Tu Hongwu.

It was uncertain if the corpse of the Divine Level powerhouse was naturally this way, or if the White War God had used some other methods, making this corpse still emit such terrifying divine power even after death.

This terrifying presence was even more dreadful than the aura from some Divine Level powerhouses who were not adept in combat.

For a moment, everyone around widened their eyes, looking towards the Divine Level corpse radiating terrifying divine power.

They had seen many living miracles, including quite a few present on the scene,

but it was their first time seeing the corpse of a Divine Level powerhouse, even for some Divine Level powerhouses.

If Su Mo had produced the Divine Level corpse earlier, someone would have surely stepped forward to question it.

But now, no one dared to speak up.

Even those sharp-eyed individuals who could instantly see that the wounds on the corpse were vastly different from the skills used by Su Mo, dared not voice their doubts.

Seeing this, Tu Hongwu laughed heartily three times, and a crimson wine gourd appeared in his hand. In the next moment, it floated mid-air and directly absorbed the Divine Level corpse into it.

"I said earlier, the wine I tasted could hardly be called satisfying; this is more like it!"

With that, Tu Hongwu reached out and grabbed the gourd from mid-air, shook it, and took a swig: "Good wine! You’re indeed a great disciple. I’ll accept your apprenticeship gift!"

As he spoke, Tu Hongwu took another hearty swig from the gourd, casting an envious glance towards Gongsun Mu, who sat beside him.

"Since you’ve given me a gift, I can’t be stingy. Look closely, this is a Divine Artifact I specially crafted for you recently!"

With that, Tu Hongwu tossed a fist-sized orb of light from his hand.

The orb flickered with a rainbow of colors, as weapons like swords, spears, and halberds continually morphed within it.

"Your mentor wasn’t sure what kind of weapon you liked, so I crafted this Thousand Changes for you! The weapon, as its name implies, can transform endlessly. Whatever you can conceive, it can become. Its various marvelous uses are for you to explore."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was beyond excited.

He had been wondering what kind of weapon his mentor would craft for him.

Since awakening, he was accustomed to using weapons, and during this time, he felt a void without a suitable weapon.

Now, finally, he could obtain a weapon he desired.

Not only is it a Divine Artifact, but it could also transform endlessly, and according to his mentor, it came with various miraculous functions.

This is definitely much better than Mr. Gongsun’s lousy hammer!

Though that hammer is also strong, after all, as a tool for forging, it felt uncomfortable for combat.

Hearing this introduction, not only was Su Mo thrilled, even the other Divine Level powerhouses were thrilled beyond measure.

A Divine Artifact that can transform endlessly—who wouldn’t want to own one?

Even at this point, several still hadn’t obtained a Divine Artifact themselves, let alone one with endless transformations; such luxury was unthinkable even in dreams.

Simply by becoming a disciple, one could acquire such a powerful Divine Level weapon. They were now tempted to kneel and call Tu Hongwu their mentor.

But after considering that Su Mo’s gift to his mentor was a Divine Level powerhouse’s corpse, they abandoned this thought.

After all, they neither had the power of a Godslayer nor a Divine Level corpse as a gift.

Whether Tu Hongwu would even consider them worthy of mentorship, they chose to ignore.

Hastening his steps, Su Mo approached Tu Hongwu and respectfully bowed, taking the fist-sized orb of light: "Thank you, Master!"

"Hahaha, no need for thanks. It’s just a mere weapon, nothing significant!"

Tu Hongwu was saying this leisurely while drinking wine, looking utterly at ease.

Witnessing such harmonious mentor-disciple interaction, applause erupted from the audience below.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Mu beside them, his eyes were fixated.

"I forged this weapon with painstaking effort, even melding my hammer into it!"

Claiming it to be a mere weapon, how about making it yourself!

I’ve spent decades of savings, poured entirely into making this weapon!

You’re speaking as if there’s no cost involved. Right, because you didn’t pay a dime—everything used was from my pocket!

The more Gongsun Mu thought, the more aggrieved he felt, especially seeing Tu Hongwu’s contented demeanor, making him grind his teeth in frustration.

As Su Mo received the orb, a system prompt appeared immediately.

[Thousand Changes: Transform as you think, morph as you wish]

Simply reading this brief description, Su Mo felt the artifact was incredibly powerful.

The shorter the description, the stronger it indicated its power, much like his Absolute Defense.

Seeing Su Mo standing dazed, Tu Hongwu took another leisurely sip from his wine gourd, then casually said:

"Currently, you can only see the weapon’s description in this form, oh, right, Gongsun the elder wrote that up—don’t mind it too much.

As for specific stats and abilities, you need to bind it to see them. Different weapons have diverse effects. You’ll understand by exploring them on your own."

After thanking once more, Su Mo secured the orb in his system space, deciding to study it after returning home.

At this moment, Bai Yuanhao gradually stood up and approached, also handing over an orb of light, saying: "Here, this is what your second mentor Chu Tian asked me to give you. Bind it directly to see what it contains. I’ve been incubating it for ages, and I’m curious what this Divine Mount actually looks like."

It’s not just Bai Yuanhao who’s curious—even the other King-level and Divine Level powerhouses stretched their necks, eager to see.

A Divine Mount!

With that, Bai Yuanhao lightly tossed the orb of light towards Su Mo, who caught it effortlessly.

Just as Bai Yuanhao, full of anticipation, awaited to see what Tu Hongwu might summon from this Divine Pet Egg, he felt someone tugging at his clothes.

Looking down, who else could it be but his disciple Li Yuanhao?

At this moment, Li Yuanhao gazed up at Bai Yuanhao with a naive expression, gently tugging his clothing and said: "Master, I want one too!"
