From their outward appearance, this pair of weapons resembled two leaping flying fish — slightly elongated, with a distinctive and peculiar design, yet possessing an almost ethereal elegance.
"What do you think of this pair of weapons?" The Mad Old Freak grinned, looking at
Jiang Chen fixed his gaze upon the divine weapons, sensing their unique aura, and felt a profound tremor in his heart. This pair of weapons was at least quasi-divine artifacts — and might even be at the true divine artifact level.
"In the ancient era, this pair of weapons could have ranked among the top ten on the Divine Weapon Ranking. They have a formal name — the Taiji Twin Fish Swords."
The Taiji Twin Fish Swords?
Jiang Chen looked at the uniquely shaped swords, and his heart began to race. There was no question — Jiang Chen knew quality when he saw it.
He could tell at a glance that the Taiji Twin Fish Swords were a pair of yin-yang complementary blades, one male and one female, born from the primordial creation energy of heaven and earth, embodying the principles of yin and yang as divine weapons of the highest caliber.
Weapons of this caliber were always of extremely lofty standing. They had often come into being alongside the creation of heaven and earth themselves, blessed with profound fortune from the Heavenly Dao.
Divine weapons baptized by the creation energy of heaven and earth were, by every measure, perfect existences.
For Jiang Chen to say he was not tempted would be an outright lie.
"Young man, I hope that next time I challenge you to a spar, you'll be wielding the Taiji Twin Fish Swords."
As he spoke, the Mad Old Freak shook his arm, and two streaks of yin-yang divine light transformed into brilliant beams that shot toward Jiang Chen, radiating a dazzling luster. The intense aura of primordial creation that clung to them made Jiang Chen sense an ancient, primordial presence.
These Taiji Twin Fish Swords clearly had an extraordinary provenance. And they were immeasurably old.
In that instant, Jiang Chen was wild with joy, his eyes brimming with fervent light as he gazed at the Taiji Twin Fish Swords.
But the swords emitted a blinding glow and let out a deep, resonant hum, hovering before Jiang Chen — yet they never descended into his hands.
Jiang Chen blinked in surprise, then glanced at the Mad Old Freak, and instantly understood.
He realized that the Mad Old Freak was deliberately testing him, seeing whether he had the capability to truly claim the Taiji Twin Fish Swords.
Jiang Chen caught on immediately but did not panic.
Since the Mad Old Freak wanted to play it this way, Jiang Chen had no objection to putting on a display — it would let the old freak see what kind of Divine Abilities and techniques he possessed.
Jiang Chen was no ordinary figure. His knowledge was vast and his methods superb. He had countless ways at his disposal to subdue all manner of divine weapons.
However, subduing the Taiji Twin Fish Swords would require more than ordinary methods.
Jiang Chen knew that divine weapons nurtured by the creation energy of heaven and earth possessed their own innate spirit, and that spirit tended to carry a certain pride.
Therefore, to subdue such weapons, one first had to determine their nature and understand their characteristics.
Put plainly, one needed to figure out what sort of temperament these divine weapons had.
Jiang Chen's spiritual sense was extraordinarily powerful. After just a brief observation, he gleaned a measure of understanding. In terms of sheer weapon caliber, the Taiji Twin Fish Swords were absolutely top-tier.
Jiang Chen locked his spiritual sense onto them, channeling his powerful consciousness into a thread of communication that instantly reached into the Taiji Twin Fish Swords.
