Chapter 279: Chapter 90: Azure Dragon Saber Technique_2"89 points." This time, Little White Dragon finally didn’t raise the bid any further. Xiao Jie glanced at Hidden Dragon Do Not Use. If they included the remaining points from the last activity, the leader’s points were actually the real high score. Fortunately, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use did not seem interested in participating, and 89 points successfully secured the item. Successfully secured a high-level blade skill. Xiao Jie was quite satisfied. Although the Phantom Annihilation Blade Technique was useful, the secret power consumption was too high; it could only be used at critical moments. Wind Roll Cloud was for clearing little monsters; normally, he really lacked a technique that could immediately counter powerful enemies. Furthermore, the more secret techniques one had, the greater the operational space, and naturally, the more the better. He wondered what secret technique he could realize from the Azure Dragon Saber Technique... "Fourth item: Hand Palm Thunder (Basic Taoism), starting at 40 points, whoever wants it, call it out." This item wasn’t as valuable, a few tens of taels could usually buy a book like that. Naturally, this was Dida La’s for the taking, easily secured for 40 points. "Fifth item: [Blueprint: Horse-Slaying Saber]." This item’s value was hard to say. The Horse-Slaying Saber was a fine weapon, and as a green weapon, it could sell for a few taels, but it could be quite formidable if mass-produced. They had just secured a mine shaft, completely capable of producing a large amount of ore, and could mass-produce a batch of Horse-Slaying Sabers. Used wisely, it could earn quite a bit of money. However, it was of no use to ordinary people without blacksmith skills. Eventually, it was secured by Hidden Dragon Do Not Use for 40 points. None of the subsequent bids ended up in particularly high scores. Bone Scrapper Gloves (+20% Vital Strike Damage), Blood Fury Chest Armor (+30 Life), these two pieces of equipment weren’t bad either, but they were just not bad. Compared to cultivation techniques and Taoist arts, they were quite inferior. In the end, Little White Dragon secured the Bone Scrapper Gloves with the base score. And the Blood Fury Chest Armor was also taken with the base score by a general in the group. Having secured two secret books in two activities, Xiao Jie felt quite thrilled; indeed, it was only by being in the group that he could get his hands on good stuff. If it had been just him, he wouldn’t have been able to clear all the little monsters alone. The market price for Corpse King Blood Marrow was 70 taels each, three of them amounting to 210 taels, plus the profit from today’s ore. The final decision on the distribution was 300 taels. Many people chose to split the money directly, but some accumulated their points, planning to save them up for two or three activities, so they could participate in the distribution of BOSS equipment later on. "Alright, that’s it for today’s activities. Regarding the exploration activity of the ancient tomb beneath the mine shaft, I need to report to the president before deciding on the subsequent plan. I’ll inform everyone later. Starting from tomorrow, our guild will organize teams daily to go down to the mineshaft to clear monsters, mine, and level up; this does not count as an activity and has no points reward, everyone may choose voluntarily whether to participate—dismissed." As the crowd dispersed, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, however, asked Xiao Jie to stay. "Brother Sui Feng, thanks for just now," Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said earnestly. "Haha, thanks for what? We’re all good brothers fighting side-by-side; I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing." "Hehe, that’s true—brother. By the way, we’re going to attend Duan Zui’s funeral this afternoon, you want to come?" A funeral? Xiao Jie was somewhat startled. That’s not right. In the game, you’re supposed to die within 24 hours in real life after dying, and Duan Zui had just died less than an hour ago; isn’t this a bit too hasty? "Are you talking about a funeral in the game or in real life?" "Of course, in the game. Real-life matters will still need the president to negotiate with the Game Administration Bureau." Xiao Jie thought to himself that Dragon Soaring Knights certainly had connections but a funeral in the game? Did their Dragon Soaring Knights guild really place such importance on ceremony? He faintly suspected there must be something more to it and thus agreed to it. "Sure, I’m free this afternoon anyway." "Then, 3 o’clock at Xiaofeng City’s Martyr’s Temple." Watching Hidden Dragon Do Not Use leave, Xiao Jie also chose to leave. He had originally wanted to go with Ye Luo, but found that Ye Luo had already left. Dongfang Sheng stayed behind. "Feng, today I really owe you one." "Haha, we’re brothers, no need for formalities, and besides, didn’t you save me first?" "That’s different. Even if I hadn’t saved you, you wouldn’t have died, but if you hadn’t stepped in, I really would have been done for. To tell you the truth, my heart went cold back then. Thankfully I didn’t die. Otherwise, I might have ended up like Duan Zui, going into the Martyr’s Temple together." "Speaking of which, what is this Martyr’s Temple?" "Every State Mansion has one. It is a burial site specifically for generals. Anyone who dies in the line of duty can enter, but it really doesn’t do much, you know? Once you’re dead, it’s merely a formality. It’s better not to end up there." "Right, you’re a general now too, huh? Hey, where are your personal soldiers?" "Got killed by zombies, looks like I’ll need to recruit another," Dongfang Sheng said with some regret. Once he had parted ways with Dongfang Sheng, Xiao Jie finally got a chance to check out his haul for the day. [Azure Dragon Saber Technique (Advanced Blade Skill) Applicable Weapons: One-handed Blade, Two-handed Blade, Long-handled Blade. Learning Requirements: Inner Power Mastery, Sword Skill Mastery, Horse Riding Introduction (not mandatory)] Huh, there are no attribute requirements, but it requires Inner Power Mastery. Xiao Jie was quite surprised, noting that this technique must be extraordinary. He decisively double-clicked to learn it. System notification: You have learned a new martial art, Azure Dragon Saber Technique, you can find it in... Xiao Jie immediately opened the martial arts list to check it out. [Azure Dragon Saber Technique (Advanced Blade Skill) Basic Moves: Azure Dragon Thirteen Forms (foot combat form)/Azure Dragon Five Forms (horseback combat form). Additional Combat Skills: Dragging Blade Slash (exclusive to long-handled blades/Skill LV3 unlock). Inner Power Effect: Azure Dragon Binding Energy (Skill LV6 unlock). Consumes 100 points of Inner Power Value to gather sword energy in the shape of a dragon around the blade, inflicting additional qi damage with your attacks, lasting 30 seconds. The higher your inner power level, the greater the qi damage. Skill Introduction: The Azure Dragon Saber Technique was created by the Saber Saint during his younger years on the battlefield. The technique uses qi to control the blade, featuring large and wide movements ideal for battlefield formations. Since cavalry battles are predominant on the battlefield, this technique can also be used with a long-handled blade.] Wow, it’s a cavalry saber technique, but it’s good that it can also be used on foot. Clearly, though, it’s best used with a long-handled blade in cavalry battles, which is even more suitable for generals. Azure Dragon Saber Technique, Dragging Blade Slash—Isn’t that Lord Er’s signature skill? Speaking of which, I do have a ’Red Charge Warhorse’; maybe I should get an Azure Dragon Crescent Blade to go with it... sounds rather exciting. I’ll have time to practice it. After returning to town, Xiao Jie visited the auction house and indeed found such a long-handled blade. Biting the bullet, he spent 10 silver coins to buy one of green quality. [Crescent Blade (Long-handled Blade) Attack Power: 28 slash. Weapon Effect: Long-handled Weapon (Attack Range +2, must be held with both hands). Item Introduction: A large blade with a long handle, which due to its weight, brings formidable power in slashing and chopping. However, because of its heft, it cannot be wielded one-handedly. It must be used with both hands against enemies and is suitable for cavalry battle formations.] The attributes aren’t too special, but at least it does slashing damage, ideal for fighting tough monsters like mining zombies, a perfect replacement for my previous plain blade. Mounting the horse and slashing horizontally, Xiao Jie charged back and forth in the forest outside the town, chopping at a few wild beasts to get a feel for it. It really was quite powerful—for one can utilize the charging speed of the steed for added damage, and it also does regal slashing damage, making each strike explosively powerful, not inferior to using combat skills on foot. Looks like I could also double as a general from now on. By three o’clock in the afternoon, Xiao Jie arrived on time at the Martyr’s Temple in Xiaofeng City. The funeral was ordinary in its formality, but it was well attended. A row of Fengyin State guards stood on both sides of the pathway, with four groups of three generals each in charge of carrying the coffin, while those attending, clad in shiny armor, formed a solemn atmosphere. Among them, many members of the Dragon Soaring Knights were present, as were many NPCs.
