I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 377: Chapter 334: Divine Weapon Emperor (Orange) Part 3

”What... what kind of power is this?!”​

The red ruby ring suddenly trembled violently, and the fire demon leapt out as if it had been scalded, its usually arrogant little face now filled with shock.

It stared intently at the golden stream of light flowing around the Shadowstrike, its nose twitching rapidly, eyes bursting with unprecedented desire, even the sharp horn on its head glowing red from excitement.​

The force was too tempting—it was far superior to the energy Qin Tian had previously ”fed” it, with an aura of evolution that could drive all weapon spirits insane, as if just touching a trace of it could instantly break their shackles and achieve their long-desired transformation.

The fire demon’s gaze shifted back and forth between Shadowstrike and Qin Tian, a low growl like a whimper coming from its throat, its previous arrogance long gone, leaving only undisguised greed.

The energies it had absorbed in the past were merely basic recharges for itself, akin to filling an empty bottle with water.

But the Emperor’s Power now flowing within Qin Tian was different; it was the key that could activate the origin of weapon spirits and allow them to be reborn—the true opportunity for evolution, irresistible even for a weapon spirit as renowned as Heaven-Burning Purgatory.​

”Hey, you’re called Qin Tian, right.”​

The fire demon hovered in mid-air, its little face still reflecting the excitement from being enticed by the Emperor’s Power, but its tone feigned calmness, striving to maintain a bit of dignity as one of the Ten Great Guns’ weapon spirits.​

”I’ve thought about it, let’s change the way we cooperate.” It paused, lightly stomping its little hoof in the air as if making a firm decision, ”As long as you can ensure a sufficient supply of fire-type energy, I can help you without limit. But in exchange, you must pour this golden power into my body every day—no slacking off.”​

The last four words were spoken quickly and urgently, barely concealing the overwhelming desire in its voice.​

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s lips slowly curled into a knowing smile.

Sure enough, in the face of the temptation of the Divine Weapon’s evolution, even the weapon spirit of Heaven-Burning Purgatory had to set aside its arrogance.

Lightly rubbing the gun barrel of Shadowstrike with his fingertips, feeling the joy transmitted by the Ghost Gun Spirit, he responded calmly: ”Alright.”​

With that, he extended his palm, face-up, his smile gentle: ”Well then, let’s cooperate happily in the future.”​

The fire demon stared at the broad palm for a moment, its small head tilted slightly as if weighing something.

After a while, it cautiously extended its own small fiery palm—the palm glowed with a warm orange-red light, carrying a real warmth to the touch, unlike the ethereal Ghost Gun Spirit.​

At the moment the two palms lightly touched, Qin Tian could clearly feel the scorching heat from the other’s palm, the pure origin power of flame, more refined than any fire-type spiritual energy he had ever seen. This sensation further confirmed to him that the quality of this chibi demon far surpassed that of the Ghost Gun Spirit.​

”By the way,” when Qin Tian withdrew his hand, he suddenly remembered something, his gaze landing on the exquisite little face of the fire demon, ”Do you have a name?”​

Upon hearing this, the fire demon’s little eyes darted around, a distant recollection flickering through its gaze, as if it was seeing a distant past through time.

After a moment of silence, it spoke in a slightly nostalgic tone, its voice softer than before:​

”My first collaborator gave me a name—”​

It slightly raised its chin, as if declaring something significant, its clear voice echoing in the tent:​

”Blaze!”​
