The description of the dagger named Hanxi reads: “[Imitation Hanxi], crafted by an unknown elven blacksmith, with the entire blade made from [Unmeltable Ice].
It’s said that the original disappeared before the founding of the ancient Yating Empire.
Since this dagger was a gift to the elven royal family, it cannot be used without elven royal blood.” After reading this, Mo Li fell into deep thought.
His focus was clearly on the latter part of the description.
“Cannot be used without elven royal blood?? Are you kidding me? I risked my life for this reward, and now I can’t even use it?? If it weren’t for this strangely hard ring, Mo Li would have dismantled it by now.
Wait, calm down… Just as Mo Li was about to act on his thoughts, he noticed a detail: the word ‘imitation’ before the dagger’s name.
The introduction also mentioned the term ‘original,’ meaning this dagger isn’t the original but a replica.
So, there’s hope? With this thought, Mo Li grasped the cold blade.
The craftsmanship and design were exquisite, truly worthy of an elven blacksmith’s epic weapon, even if it was just a replica.
When he successfully drew the blade from its sheath, a wave of joy surged through him.
As expected, he was right; he could indeed use this dagger! Wow, the chill from this blade was intense; Mo Li could feel the frost emanating from it even from a distance.
As the snow-silver blade shimmered, Mo Li felt like a young man who had finally drawn a golden card from a pool, ecstatic with joy.
A good blade! It was indeed a good blade, even if it was just a quasi-epic replica, it was enough to excite Mo Li.
What kind of blades did he use in his past life? Iron, copper, mixed with iron and copper, nothing good.
Now that he had a quasi-epic weapon, he had to treasure it like a gem, right? The weapon grades from lowest to highest are white, green, blue, yellow, purple, then epic, legendary, and finally mythic.
Quasi-epic is below epic and above purple, making it a top-tier weapon across the continent.
Even noble children wouldn’t have weapons beyond blue or yellow grade, with purple being royal quality.
Anything above that, like epic, would be a national treasure, capable of causing massive destruction when wielded.
After confirming he could use the weapon, Mo Li’s mood shifted dramatically.
He pulled out a tissue from somewhere and gently wiped the dust off the ring.
“Hmph, at least you kept your word,” Mo Li glanced at the pile of gold coins beside him, his smile growing brighter.
Not bad, the trial’s reward wasn’t just this imitation Hanxi, but also three thousand gold coins, which Mo Li had been eyeing.
Now they were his, and the previously dull pile of gold coins shimmered, becoming tangible.
These coins could be exchanged for the continent’s common currency or used to purchase items within the tower.
Mo Li had hit the jackpot this time.
However, the rewards matched the risks.
He had faced his mortal enemy from his past life, the princess of the Papal State, and any mistake could have cost him his life.
But now, with this quasi-epic weapon, Mo Li felt empowered, even confident enough to take on the Phoenix Princess.
However, this trial made Mo Li realize that while the rewards were rich, the difficulty was significant.
After all, nothing comes without a price, and the risks often outweigh the rewards.
Yet, so many people still flock to it.
Are they fools? No, it’s more like a gambler’s mentality.
Even the threat of death can’t deter the allure of success.
Of course, Mo Li wasn’t in a position to judge others on this matter.
So, these trials are worth attempting, but not too frequently, as they can be taxing.
Mo Li’s main task now was to gain admission to Lanyin Academy.
Once he entered, he could avoid all risks and escape his current troubles, whether it was the Minster family’s pursuit or the issues arising from his dragon identity.
All would be resolved once he entered Lanyin Academy.
As the continent’s top academy, Lanyin Academy ensured the safety of its students, as it was their reputation at stake.
Hurting a Lanyin student in front of the academy was like slapping the academy’s face.
Now, with the help of a quasi-epic weapon, admission to Lanyin was no longer a dream! Once he secured admission, he could leave this wretched place and rise above others! However, he then thought of a terrifying fact.
That Papal State princess was also likely a future student of Lanyin Academy… Not only that, but also the Saintess of Aurevigia, the vixen who trapped him in an alternate dimension in his past life, and the original CP of the princess, the elven princess Aurora.
Great, even entering Lanyin Academy wouldn’t bring peace.
But as long as he was careful and didn’t provoke these troublesome figures, he should be fine, right? However, letting that princess know what he looked like was problematic.
Remembering her keen interest in him gave him a headache.
After collecting his rewards, Mo Li didn’t rush to spend them or use the three thousand gold coins, as they were tower coins.
Once exchanged for the continent’s currency, they couldn’t be exchanged back.
The treasures in the tower were rare, not something money could buy.
After storing Hanxi in his space cloak, Mo Li felt delighted.
Gaining so many treasures in one trip significantly boosted his combat power.
However, he still needed to prepare more, as the Lanyin Academy’s entrance quota for the Minster Viscount’s territory was only one.
This meant Mo Li had to defeat all other contestants to secure the Lanyin Academy’s entrance qualification, and only then could he enroll.
The difficulty was akin to climbing to the heavens.
Mo Li wasn’t worried about not being able to use his weapon in the arena elimination matches.
Those nobles would definitely add a rule allowing personal weapons to ensure their children could participate.
This way, it all came down to financial power.
How could those talented but humble students from the academy possibly compare to the noble kids decked out in +18 gear? Sorry, young man, but those people have spent money on this.
All your years of hard study are nothing compared to their mountain of gold.
What? You don’t have money to spend? Well, my friend, I suggest you choose your parents wisely next time.
