Noon.
In the villa's living room.
Zhou Chen tossed a bowl of fruit into the air and, with a SHING, drew the tachi from his waist.
Countless streaks of purple light from the blade crisscrossed in midair, instantly slicing the fruit in two.
The perfectly halved fruit all landed in a stainless steel bowl on the table. Zhou Chen picked up a towel to wipe down Thunder Strike, sheathed it, and grabbed half an apple to eat.
Thunder Strike's sharpness far surpassed the five weapons he had previously forged. It could easily slice through "Alloy No. 24"—widely considered the best material for testing blades—leaving a cut surface as smooth as a mirror. It was truly a blade that could cut through metal as if it were mud.
