The collision of the curved blade and the unknown object produced a CLANG. Ji Youbo felt a jolt in his wrist and a ringing in his ears. This is bad, he thought, quickly retreating a few steps to compose himself. He raised his curved blade to inspect it and was aghast. It's... it's nicked?
Ji Youbo was greatly alarmed. He held the nicked curved blade before his eyes, examining it repeatedly. He truly couldn't understand what the dark object that had fallen from the sky was. Why did a mere block from it nick his weapon?
Heartbroken over the damage to his beloved weapon, Ji Youbo felt a pang of distress. He picked up the black lump from the ground and examined it closely. This thing feels somewhat familiar, he mused, yet I'm sure I've never seen it before. Still, it's the object that nicked my weapon.
This thing must be a treasure, he concluded. So, he picked it up and secured it, then went to find Ji Youyuan.
