Chapter 502 Unexpected Harvest (2/2)
When inside Epang Palace, it was also not possible to pull out metal weapons from storage equipment.
Unfortunately for Qiu Yun, his most powerful skill was ‘Metal Burst’.
With this restriction in effect, it would not be a stretch to say that Qiu Yun’s strength was at its lowest possible.
However, he only became stunned for an instant. Qiu Yun quickly recollected himself and leapt toward a bronze lamp stand standing in the corner. After grabbing it, he threw the lamp stand at Chen Xiaolian with a howl.
Chen Xiaolian had a deep understanding of Qiu Yun. The bronze lamp stand flew toward him at a rather slow speed. However, Chen Xiaolian did not attempt to block it with his hand…
His first reaction was to jump aside.
As expected, the bronze lamp stand blew up all of a sudden.
Chen Xiaolian’s reaction was fast enough for him to dodge the effects of the explosion. He then turned to see that Qiu Yun’s face had sank.
This opponent knew about him.
However… … was he actually Chen Xiaolian?
Without giving Qiu Yun more time to think about it, Chen Xiaolian rushed forward.
He had no metal weapons. Instead, he wielded something that he had seized from the terracotta soldiers he encountered and destroyed back in the corridor earlier, a stone spear.
When the tip of the spear descended upon Qiu Yun, a peculiar look flashed across his face.
As he dodged backward, he said, “Head Cleaver? This is the Demon King of Confusion’s Three Axes? You… you really are Chen Xiaolian?”
Chen Xiaolian maintained a wooden face and used the stone spear to unleash the second move.
“Ear Gouger?” As Qiu Yun dodged, he shouted, “You really are Chen Xiaolian! What an impressive brat! To think that I was fooled by you! You are no rookie! Playing the pig to bait the tiger?”
Chen Xiaolian did not bother trying to explain the misunderstanding to Qiu Yun. He simply unleashed the third move: Impish Teeth Displacer.
Qiu Yun dodged away once more. His physical attributes was quite good. After successfully dodging Chen Xiaolian’s three moves, he saw Chen Xiaolian stopping his actions with the spear.
“Brat! What kind of schemes are you up to? Humph, to slip in right next to me…”
Without waiting for Qiu Yun to finish his words, Chen Xiaolian sighed out and said, “Mr Qiu, consider those three moves as me showing mercy. Considering how well you treated me, this is me returning the favour. Using those three moves is me showing gratitude for you gifting me with the skill back then. Next however… … time for preferential treatment is over!”
“… what did you say? Preferential treatment…”
Qiu Yun’s face sank greatly as he instinctively felt an atmosphere of danger. Next, he saw Chen Xiaolian’s figure flashing.
What speed!
At present, Chen Xiaolian’s enhanced body was superior to Qiu Yun’s in every aspect.
Given the present Chen Xiaolian’s power, this illustrious ‘expert Qiu Yun’ that he had once looked up to was only average at best. Additionally, the skill that made Qiu Yun infamous, the Metal Burst skill was unusable here, placing him at a very disadvantageous position.
There were hardly any metal objects in this hall.
Qiu Yun swiftly reached out with his hand, seized and tossed two bronze plates toward Chen Xiaolian. However, Chen Xiaolian did not give the plates any time to reach him. He quickly closed in on Qiu Yun.
His hand rose.
His palm fell.
After that, Chen Xiaolian observed Qiu Yun, who had fallen unconscious on the floor, and gave an inward sigh.
He pried open Qiu Yun’s palm and retrieved the Tiger Tally.
Next, he returned his attention to Qiu Yun again and rummaged his body. In the end, he pulled a pendant that Qiu Yun wore over his neck.
[????: Picked up a [D] class storage equipment: Ancient Jade.]
Chen Xiaolian felt an involuntary feeling of regret.
[D] class storage equipment…
Storage equipment was a rarity in the Awakened circle. However, to think that an infamous expert like Qiu Yun could only afford a [D] class storage equipment. That was quite a shabby of him.
However, that was also a good thing.
The encryption function was not included for [D] class equipment. Anyone who got their hands on it could access it.
After checking its contents, Chen Xiaolian was stunned.
This equipment was indeed of [D] class and the storage space it provided was limited.
It was about half the size of a closet.
Qiu Yun’s storage space contained some common supplies. Medical supplies, food, water and some simple weapons and tools.
The weapons were all made from metal and could not be taken out. Additionally, there were also a number of metal balls.
It did not take long for Chen Xiaolian to understand. With Qiu Yun’s skill, those metal balls were the best weapons.
However, Chen Xiaolian also found something unexpected inside the storage equipment.
It appeared to be…
“This is an equipment?”
Chen Xiaolian quickly summoned it out. When it fell into his hand, he found that it was a… … golden coloured booklet.
The booklet had the width of a finger. After opening it, Chen Xiaolian saw that it had the folded shape of a… … chart?
Within it were the portraits of several figures. Looking at the figures, he saw that there were layers of clouds drifting around them, making it hard to identity the portraits. However, he could vaguely make out an ancient army. Each of them appeared to be generals.
On the surface of the opened booklet were three words.
“Starchart of Generals?”
Chen Xiaolian gripped the item with his hand and pondered for a moment. Next, he used his personal system to inspect the equipment. What he saw left him dumbfounded.
[????: Picked up a high-grade equipment: Starchart of Generals (fragment). Scan shows that this chart is missing its main star. Present evaluation at [A-] class. Growth Capacity: [S] class.]
Presently at [A-] class.
Growth Capacity: [S] class?
Holy cow! Qiu Yun possessed such an incredible item?
Chen Xiaolian’s face instantly revealed a ludicrous amount of shock.
