The next day, after Jiang Xuan woke up, he used the toothbrush and silk towel he had brought along to freshen up. Then he went to the water's edge and found a suitable stone to patiently grind the edge of his Bronze Battle Spear.
Because the hardness of bronze is sufficient, but the toughness is lacking, it tends to chip and wear down with long-term use, requiring frequent sharpening to maintain its sharpness.
The new Bronze Battle Spear was golden-yellow, but after extensive use, its surface would gradually oxidize and darken in color.
If left untouched for a period, it might even develop a significant amount of patina; even with regular use, only the frequently rubbed areas would retain the golden-yellow hue, while other places would dull.
Despite this, compared to Stone Spear and Bone Spear, the Bronze Battle Spear was dazzling enough to attract quite a few members of the Rat Tribe to watch from afar.
"What is that spear? So beautiful."
