Chapter 257 Fridays Weaknesses? (1/2)
Chapter 257 – Friday's Weaknesses?
February 22nd.
Li Jing was looking at her skill status as she was thinking if she should join the frontline with Sun Fang or not.
This year, she had already borrowed Sun Fang's lifespans to rebuy two more skills, but there were still eight more skills that she had to get back.
*******************
[True Strike] LV. 5
- Your next attack ignore 50% of defensive abilities and armors.
Skill Cost: 100 Lifespans.
Skill Upkeep: 2,000 Lifespans per year.
Skill Restriction: Can only be used once per day. Skill resets at midnight.
[Weakness Detection] LV. MAX
- Detect the flaws or weaknesses of a target.
- Chance of success 100%.
Skill Cost: 100 Lifespans per target.
Skill Upkeep: 2,000 Lifespans per year.
Skill Restriction:
- Can only be used once per day. Skill resets at midnight.
- The target must be in the host's line of sight.
*******************
Although the skills were powerful, Li Jing was not confident that her skills would be useful against the ghost soldier that Sun Fang had encountered.
Li Jing planned to disguise herself as a scout and mix in with Sun Jian's men to the frontline. If she could catch a sight of Xiao Wu, Li Jing could use the [Weakness Detection] on her so she could know a bit more about this otherworlder enemy.
However, the plan was too risky as this Xiao Wu had a dangerous skill that they could not find a way to counter it, the ghost soldier.
'This is so complicated. If it's just us against the ordinary people, we could have won easily. Now, it's about which reincarnator faction that can dominate the country first. But, it's also my chance. If I can kill her, I can complete my system quest and get another skill back.'

A clan message alert woke Li Jing from her trance.
Cheng Pu: We're heading out today.
Cheng Pu: There's an intel about a bandit group in the east.
Cheng Pu: I'm going after them.
Huang Gai: Good luck.
Huang Gai: I'm staying in Guanzong for now.
Huang Gai: No intel from my men yet.
Huang Gai and Cheng Pu had joined Sun Fang and Li Jing's clan this year, which made their clan an official clan level one, which was eligible to obtain the clan quest.
************************

Quest Objective: Occupy at least one county or a Commandery city.
Reward:
- 10,000 Lifespan Pool for each Commandery occupied.
- One Shopping Pass for each Commandery occupied.
- 1,000 Lifespan Pool for each county occupied.
- Rewards are given at the end of each year.
************************
The rewards were attractive, but they had to go through a lot of troubles as Sun Jian and Li Jing's family had not obtained a headquarter city that could be their home ground yet.
Sun Jian was still a servant of Tao Qian this year. He was not even a governor of a small county!
Li Jing read the chat messages and sighed.
'This war can be an opportunity for Sun Jian to reap some recognition and rewards, but the opponent is different than in history. They are not illiterate bandits, but veteran soldiers with proper leaders! The risk is too high!'

Another message came from Sun Jian.
”Our scout detected a 1,000-man unit of light cavalries west of Guanzong. Xiao Wu is leading the troops herself!”
The message gave Li Jing a bit of hope. This was a good chance that she could scout Xiao Wu's weaknesses.
…
…
The Lust Soul of Friday had a limited range of operation as the soul did not belong to her. Thus, she could only deploy the soul in a radius of 10 kilometers. If the soul had gone outside of her range, Friday would have a rough time trying to control the soul.
It was frustrating for her. Had it been her [Soul of Sins] which she had awakened them herself, she could have sent it 1,000 kilometers away without a problem.
The limitation of 10 kilometers forced her to move closer to Guanzong as she had planned to deploy the soul to attack Sun Jian Army.
As Friday and 1,000 bodyguards got closer to Guanzong, her eyes caught a suspicious black dot, which was flying in the sky.
Sun Fang was there!
'That guy is here. I can't let my men get closer!'
”Men, loose formation! Keep your eyes in the sky. There will be a magic attack coming from above. Get ready to dodge the explosive magic!”
Friday took a spear from a spear package on horseback behind her. Because of the lesson on the other day, Friday took extra spears with her so she could throw it at Sun Fang if he were to show up again.
The bundle of spears contained 20 spears. In addition, the bodyguards were also carrying the same spear package with them as spares for Friday.
It did not take long that a ball of [Qi Blast] was flying toward Friday and her subordinates.
As the energy ball was coming down, a spear was thrown and made contact with it in mid-air.
