Chapter 416

[Blade Spin] Lv 1: Wield the sword with the air . Able to revolve the sword freely in the air to attack the target . The higher the level of the skill, the more attacks dealt . Consumes 70 mp with a cooldown of 30 seconds .

The skill list displayed the details with clarity . However, I knew nothing about this skill and thus, had to try it out once first .

Activate!

“Weng!”

The system prompted me asking which of the swords was to be used in the skill . My Emperor Qin’s Sword was the main sword used in attack and defense, thus, I decided to use the Cold Iron Sword instead . Soon after the interface flashed before me, and prompted me to choose a trajectory path . The range of the attack was 50 yards . I could also choose between a straight or curved track . The trajectory and angle were fully customizable . Tsk, this skill sure does take up a lot of energy .

In my heart, I was secretly happy . Our Godly Commander Miss Matcha once told me: the harder the skill is to release, the more advantageous it is for you in raising your individual ability . The operation of [Blade Spin] at merely Lv 1 was already this difficult; it goes without saying how much harder Lv 10 would be!

Upon choosing my trajectory arc, and confirming the route it will take, the official attack launched soon after .

“Keng!”

The Cold Iron Sword unsheathed, and floated in the air beside my shoulder, like a ice cold guardian . Under the influence of my thoughts, the Cold Iron Sword flew out with a “Shua!” The fierce tip of the blade swept through the air, bringing forth numerous bouts of cold wind . Following the predetermined path, it soared forward . I launched two strikes with my Emperor Qin’s Sword, and hit the Cold Iron Sword squarely as it revolved along the path . From this, the imaginary enemy suffered two serious blows, and would have died, or at the very least was seriously injured .

“Pa!”

With one hand gripping the Cold Iron Sword that cycled back, my heart was filled with excitement . Towards this skill, I had gained quite a bit of insight . The next step was to quickly practice, and familiarize myself with the execution of this technique . Although it might merely be an SS ranked skill, in reality it was way more useful than many other SSS ranked ones . Once my proficiency in attacking with it improves, it will be the focal point in killing enemies . Moreover, this tactic would be classified as one where the wielder separates with his sword . The ability to catch the enemy off guard would prove to be lethal . On top of that, this type of battle tactic is called “Separation of man and sword” and uses uncommon sword attacks to deal critical damage .

Proud of my success, I sheathed the two swords . I turned around and arrived beside Frost . Frost gazed at me, the corners of her mouth raised into a slight grin, “How is it? Are you satisfied?”

I laughed as I bowed, “I have nothing else to say, other than cool!”

Frost couldn’t help but let loose a smile, “So, what else do you want to learn?”

I proceeded to enquire, “[Dou Qi Armor] is the mainland adventurers’ common ability . Teacher, do you have a stronger protective skill to impart? I am from Dragon City and thus, shouldn’t be learning the same skill as them . ”

Frost nodded her head in agreement, “Actually, I followed King Luo Lin in practicing since I was 14 years old . It has already been 9 years . Regarding the [Dou Qi Armor] technique, I had already grasped and reached the Royal Air Level in proficiency when I was 17 . Therefore, when I had free time, I created a different set of defense techniques similar to [Dou Qi Armor] . It is a mixture of Dragon City’s ancient secret martial arts . I wonder if you would be willing to learn it?”

“Yes! What’s it called?”

Frost extended her hands as another column of text appeared before me .

[Wall of Dou Qi] Level 1 (SS rank): Condenses battle qi into a wall that protects the user’s body . An enormous defensive wall that is capable of resisting magic . Currently, raising a level will increase defense and magic resistance by 20% . Durability depends on the sum of your attack and defense values . Consumes 70 mana; Cooldown time: 60 seconds . Needs 1000G to learn .

I was astonished . This [Wall of Dou Qi]’s effect was obvious . It used the skill’s Dou Qi to add to your defense rather than protect the user from 50% of the damage . And, since the effect is proportional, and Dou Qi itself naturally raises the user’s defense, 1 level would raise physical and magical defense by 20% . By my estimate, by Lv 10, [Wall of Dou Qi] would increase defense by 200% . It could be said that this effect was the exact opposite of [Dou Qi Armor] . One level of [Wall of Dou Qi] was not as strong as [Dou Qi Armor], but 10 levels of [Wall of Dou Qi] would completely overpower [Dou Qi Armor] . What more was there to think about?

Especially with the fact that my attack and defense is much higher than the average player, three levels of [Wall of Dou Qi] would already beat a Lv 10 [Dou Qi Armor] . After all, I have 4200 defense, and with a 60% increase, no one will be able to break my defense . Of course, that is excluding players like Wan Er who have an extremely high defense ignore, but those are rare examples .

Looking at the effect of [Wall of Dou Qi], I couldn’t help but doubtfully ask, “Frost, this… . . you took so much for that [Blade Spin], then you would probably want at least 1000G for this [Wall of Dou Qi]? Then why so little, it seems illogical… . ”

Frost grinned, then glanced around with her beautiful eyes . Seeing that no one was behind her, she quickly walked up to me, and pressed her pretty face close to mine and whispered, “Because this [Wall of Dou Qi] is a skill that I created, giving this [Wall of Dou Qi] to you doesn’t go through any regulations . Dragon City wouldn’t notice anything either, and so I’m just taking the price of creation… . . ”

“Copyright… . ” my lips twitched, “You even know about copyright fee?”

Frost squinted her eyes, “I saw the phrase in some ancient books, and so I used it . There isn’t a problem with that is there?”*

*Allenwa note:copyright in China hmmm seems legit

“Nope, there’s no problem at all haha… . ”

With a wave of my hand, I learned the skill . [Wall of Dou Qi] appeared in my list of skills . Like this, I obtained the two main skills from the fourth advancement . [Wall of Dou Qi] increased my survivability, while [Blade Spin] increased my battle power, this was clearly the perfect combination .

“ARGH!”

With a low roar, I activated the skill, and snakes of red colored Dou Qi began to condense around my body, and formed a wall of Qi similar to magma

“Eh… . . ”

Before I even said anything, Frost’s pale fist was already surrounded by ice energy, and came flying straight at me!

“Peng!”

The [Wall of Dou Qi] shuddered, and I took 4427 damage as my body flew backwards . “Peng!” I hit the stone pillar at the edge of the observation deck, the force of my impact caused the entire deck to shake . Frost rushed over and helped me up, her expression apologetic, “Wu, I’m sorry . I didn’t think that your defense was that weak . My attack was still a bit too much… . ”

I coughed a few times, then looked at the [Wall of Dou Qi] . There was only 7% durability left . Only God knows just how much strength Frost really has . I asked, “Exactly how much of your strength did you use?”

“10%… . . ” Frost said a very disheartening number for me . Seeing my sorrowful look, she seemed to realize something, and suddenly tugged on my arm as she tried to remedy her mistake, “Don’t be disappointed . You’re actually really strong, at least compared with other adventurers . Now that I’m in Dragon City, I can absorb dragon power . I didn’t get this strong without training for many years . You’ll also get here at one point… . ”

I nodded, “En, I understand!”

Standing up, I patted off some snow from my shoulder, “Then, I will go out to train . Frost, will you continue to guard this observation deck in Dragon City?”

Frost licked her lips, “Dragon City is a protective barrier for people, moon elves, and wind elves . The evil power in the north is becoming stronger and stronger . I’ve been feeling a bad premonition, so I will personally guard this spot . I don’t trust anyone else to do it . Don’t worry, once Dragon City is truly in danger, I will lite a beacon, letting the Seven Kingdoms know to rescue us!”

I nodded, “Ok, then I will leave now!”

“Alright . Train hard!”

“Ok!”

I fished out a City Return Scroll, and crushed it . As I was turning into a light, I looked back at my beautiful master . Frost also looked at me, her lips carried a bitter smile, “Remember to come back… . ”

“Shua!”

After returning to Ba Huang City, I repaired all of my equipment . After leaving the city, I messaged Wan Er, “Little Miss, how’s your quest? I’m coming right now!”

Wan Er replied, “Ok . Come straight to where my target it . My quest is different from yours . I have to continuously kill Lv 85 Phantom Tier monsters . I need to kill 3000 of them . Come quick, Dong Cheng already came to help . With your firepower, I should be able to complete it . ”

“Ok ok, I’m coming!”

I rushed out of Ba Huang City, and ran straight towards Fan Shu City . Along the way, whenever I saw a monster I would purposely use [Blade Spin] . My Cold Iron Sword was almost constantly in the air beside me, flying along as I ran . After continuously activating the skill, my [Blade Spin] was already Lv 2 by the time I reached Fan Shu City!

At the same time, the details of the skill began to change . It can spin two times in the air now!

Right in front of me, a Lv 77 hyena-like monster had just finished eating a rabbit and was breathing softly . I’ll use that as a target . My Cold Iron Sword whistled through the air and “Pu Chi!” penetrated the hyenas body, and then immediately came back with a spin . With a wave of my arm, the Cold Iron Sword was suddenly controlled by Dou Qi, and began its second attack . It stabbed the hyena again . It was a normal monster, and so it was immediately killed with a wail .

“Keng!”

The Cold Iron Sword automatically returned to its sheath . I carried my Emperor Qin’s Sword, and continued running forward . This truly deserves to be called Frost’s unique technique . Yup, in my hands, I must definitely make its name known around the world!

As I rushed towards Fan Shu City, farmlands began to appear before me . After I entered the valley, I could see the two beauties in the distance, slaughtering hyenas . They had to kill another 1000 . Then, they had to kill 1000 tigers, and 1000 leopards to finish the quest!

A group of hyena cubs nipped at Wan Er’s feet . The beautiful little miss let her Dragon’s Kiss dance in the air, finishing them off one by one . After that, she activated a last [Ice Pick Whirlpool], and the group of cubs all cried out, instantly losing over half of their health .

I dashed through the brushes, and started killing monsters . From the distance, I waved my left hand, and let my Cold Iron Sword fly out of its sheath . “Shua!” it created an arc in the air and flew around Wan Er as it cut through the group of hyena cubs . After that, it quickly flew back through the cubs, slashing them a second time . Within one second, they were sliced two times . The cubs all fell with a cry . With just one [Blade Spin], I killed 20 hyenas .

Wan Er turned around to look at me and sweetly smiled, “You finally came!”

I nodded with a smile, “Yup . I’m a bit late, so don’t be mad . It’s just that Ba Huang City and Fan Shu City are too far apart, and there’s no teleportation between the main cities . Such a pain in the ass… . . ”

Wan Er smiled softly, “Yeah . I was told that teleportation between main cities in the game is not allowed . If players wanted to assist other main cities, they must run there themselves!”

“Yeah . ” I cast a glance at Dong Cheng Yue, but noticed that she was looking at me with teary eyes . Her beautiful big eyes were filled with tears . Seeing this, I was surprised and asked, “What’s wrong? Dong Cheng?”

Dong Cheng Yue pursed her red lips and said with a delicate and touching tone, “Brother Xiao Yao, I missed you……”

I narrowed my eyes and asked, “What’s going on? Your Aunt Flo is here?”

Dong Cheng Yue cried, “How did you know……”

My mouth twitched and replied, “Never mind . Let’s kill monsters……”
