Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 776: Wait a minute

Chapter 776: Wait a minute

...

A sword?

The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

Many people knew that the girl before them was the legitimate daughter who had been expelled from the Flame Boar Family, with zero Battle Power and no talent whatsoever. Even if she could truly awaken a Battle Soul, it should have some connection to the Flame Boar.

So what was the meaning of awakening a sword right now?

"What kind of Battle Soul is this?"

The Soul Master beside the Awakening Stone scrutinized the sword in Li Qingran's hand, but it didn't match any of the known Battle Souls in his mind. There were quite a few sword-shaped Battle Souls on the Canglan Continent currently; these Battle Souls were called Weapon Battle Souls.

Items like firewood choppers, kitchen knives, and iron hammers all belonged to Weapon Battle Souls, but they were the lowest grade ones. The sword in Li Qingran's hand now was entirely moon-white, its sheath faintly containing a hazy, shimmering light. A single glance told you it was absolutely no ordinary weapon.

Coupled with the innate full Battle Power...

"Found a treasure..." the Soul Master thought to himself with secret delight.

He couldn't figure out what this Battle Soul was, but his erudite teacher would surely know. After all, there were thousands upon thousands of Battle Souls in the Canglan World; no one could guarantee they knew them all.

Meanwhile, Li Ji, the head of the Flame Boar Family within the crowd, felt his face darken.

Whispers of discussion drifted faintly from the surroundings.

"Hey, isn't Li Qingran from the Flame Boar Family? How come her awakened Battle Soul is a sword? A Beast Battle Soul bloodline shouldn't be able to awaken a Weapon Battle Soul, right? You don't suppose Li Qingran isn't actually Li Ji's... ahem, you know what I mean."

"I get it, I get it! Sigh, noble circles are messy, completely understandable."

"Yeah, yeah, and Li Ji isn't much to look at. They say daughters take after their fathers, but Li Qingran clearly doesn't."

Having done nothing at all, Li Ji felt a green hue already circling his head.

Just as he wanted to find Yang Fei and demand an explanation, he suddenly remembered Yang Fei had been driven out of the Flame Boar Family the day before yesterday, leaving with nothing. Rong Wuhua had acted swiftly, even removing Yang Fei's name from the clan registry that very day.

You have to understand, a family clan registry was not something to be altered lightly.

Blessed by the Battle Soul power of past ancestors, any change to the registry was set in stone. Wanting to add Yang Fei back in? Impossible! So now, Yang Fei had absolutely no connection to the Flame Boar Family. Under what identity could he even go and question her?

A ghostly fire of frustration burned in Li Ji's heart with no outlet, making him feel utterly miserable.

Feeling equally miserable was Rong Wuhua.

"How is this possible! That dead woman Yang Fei's daughter actually managed to awaken a Battle Soul? Didn't she have zero Battle Power?!"

"And such a commotion during the awakening... Wait!" Her eyes sharpened, clearly sensing the fluctuations of Battle Power emanating from Li Qingran's body.

This fluctuation...

Rong Wuhua's pupils contracted. "Ten segments of Battle Power! This is... innate full Battle Power?!"

One absolutely could not gain Battle Power just by awakening a Battle Soul. Therefore, the Battle Power must have been possessed *before* the awakening.

Battle Power possessed before awakening a Battle Soul could only be innate Battle Power!

But just a few days ago, when Yang Fei took Li Qingran for testing, the result showed she had *no* Battle Power!

Could it be that someone, through sheer coincidence, managed to self-awaken innate full Battle Power in just three days?

Rong Wuhua felt her mind turn into a muddled mess. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out the trick behind what happened to Li Qingran.

"Hmph, so what if it's innate full Battle Power? No one has even seen this Battle Soul of hers. It's probably just some low-grade, worthless Battle Soul not fit for proper society."

Rong Wuhua was filled with jealousy and resentment.

But she could only console herself, forcing an appearance of calm.

She was also grateful she had driven Li Qingran and Yang Fei out of the Flame Boar Family ahead of time. Otherwise, her daughter's arranged marriage alliance with the Thunder Leopard Family might have faced many more obstacles.

That Lei Bo, the eldest son of the Thunder Leopard Family, clearly didn't appreciate her daughter's voluptuous figure. It wasn't like she couldn't tell.

"Li Qingran! Innate full Battle Power!" After a brief moment of astonishment, the Soul Master presiding over the ceremony beside the Awakening Stone announced loudly: "Battle Soul — Mysterious Treasure Sword, qualified!"

After speaking, he lowered his voice and said to Li Qingran, "Little girl, you have innate full Battle Power. I haven't seen your Battle Soul before, but it should be quite decent.

After the ceremony ends, don't rush to leave. You can come to our Battle Soul Hall first for some tests.

There are many respected and knowledgeable masters there, many of whom are Elders or Deacons within the Battle Soul Hall, or even professors from major academies.

Go and make an appearance. You might even get to attend those top-tier academies for free!"

Li Qingran knew that academies were extremely powerful forces on this continent.

Each of the three Soul Master Empires basically had one or two major academies, which were also the talent cultivation centers for the three empires.

As academies that supplied fresh blood to the three empires, they held power and prestige in the Canglan World beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

She heard the tuition fees for these empire academies were very expensive. If she could enroll for free, that would indeed be excellent.

When Yang Fei was driven out of the Flame Boar Family, she was left penniless. Li Qingran had brought Yang Fei out to give her a good life, so she needed to solve the money issue herself.

Moreover, she was also eager to improve her strength.

The cultivation system of this world was completely different from that of the Cangyun Realm. It was absolutely not like the cultivators of the Cangyun Realm who shut themselves in their cave dwellings every day, relying on seated meditation to improve quickly, or taking pills if they couldn't improve, or seeking their Master's help if pills didn't work... The cultivators of this world needed to enter forces like academies to learn knowledge; otherwise, it was very difficult to establish oneself in this world on one's own.

Furthermore, this world didn't seem to have the so-called concept of bottlenecks.

Breaking through a bottleneck was very simple. Once Battle Power reached its maximum level, one just needed to go find a suitable World Beast to hunt and obtain a World Ring.

Absorbing the World Ring would allow a breakthrough.

World Beasts were formidable. Since Soul Masters generally needed to obtain a World Ring from a beast one level higher to advance, solo combat against a World Beast was almost impossible.

This highlighted the role of academies.

Having mentors and classmates help hunt World Beasts was much simpler than searching for and hunting World Beasts alone.

With this thought, Li Qingran nodded. "Thank you for the invitation. I'm also not very clear about what Battle Soul I awakened, so I could use some guidance from seniors. However, I have one request."

"What request?"

"I'd like to go back and see my mother first. She is injured. I'll bring her this news along the way to set her mind at ease.

Otherwise, if I don't return for a long time, she'll worry."

The Soul Master was already very pleased that Li Qingran was willing to go to the Battle Soul Hall—this counted as his performance merit.

Naturally, he didn't mind Li Qingran's small request and readily agreed.

After becoming a Battle Soul, the Su Xian Sword from the storage ring disappeared, making it even more convenient to carry.

Li Qingran withdrew the Su Xian Sword Battle Soul into her body, ignoring the complex gazes from the Flame Boar Family, Lei Bo, and the others, and turned to leave.

The Soul Master watched Li Qingran's departing figure, then took out Li Qingran's information and glanced at it a few more times. Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

"Miss, wait a moment!"
