Chapter 22: Definitely Powerful

Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation

Every secret art from the Nine-Characters Secret were ultimate techniques originated from various territories. With these skills— which includes increasing one’s attack power, defense power, regenerative power, and agility, one’s overall combat ability will be greatly enhanced through the Nine-Characters Secret.

Xu Que looked very contented. However, it seems like the system store is behaving like a black market. It only sold leftover chapters with each skill costing a whole 200 act tough points.

Also, with every purchase, the acquired skill would be random. It would be possible that one gets the ”Battle” secret character twice in a row upon purchase.

Still, since this was Xu Que’s first purchase, he wasn’t very stressed at the fact.

However, he was eyeing the ”Troop” and ”Battle” secret characters.

The reason was because these two secret skills were perfect tools to act tough.

The ”Troop” secret character could be used to steal control over one’s magical weapons, allowing the enemies’ own weapons to attack their owner. The ”Battle” secret character could be used to copy enemies’ moves and even raise one attack power. It was similar to Mu Rong Family’s ‘An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ within the novel”Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”.

Using one’s own weapons against him and using his own moves against himself, it would be definitely embarrassing for the opponent.

Of course, the ”People” and ”Forward” secret characters were not too shabby.

The ”People” secret character can be used anytime to regenerate injuries. Although the system has passive automatic regeneration, it was very slow. Moreover, the ”People” secret character has a more frightening ability. Upon mastery, one could revive any living creatures using a drip of his blood. There was no need to be afraid to be destroyed thoroughly by opponents.

The ”Forward” secret character was mainly used to cultivate one’s spirit and heightens one’s sixth sense. In other words, one will gain the ability to foresee moves. With the ability to predict, one will be able to judge and carry out the correct course of actions during combat, gaining dominance in the fight. This skill was definitely a good choice to act tough.

The ones Xu Que did not want to get were the leftover ”Group”, ”Move” and ”All” secret characters. It was not to say that these skills were not good, but to Xu Que, these two categories of secret skills were not usable at all.

The ”Group” secret character was a type of troop tactic based move and Xu Que wouldn’t use it very often.

The ”Move” secret character’s function is to increase speed but he already possessed the Three-Thousand Volt Thunder thus he had no use for it.

The ”All” secret character was the same. Since he had the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, he did not need this secret skill at the moment. Choosing anyone of these skills would be an undesirable outcome.

”Eh… screw that! I shan’t think so much. I am going to get this Nine-Characters Secret!”

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Que finally made his decision,and bought the expensive and wallet-burning Nine-Characters secret.

”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on the successful exchange of(Remaining Volume). Obtained ”Troop” secret character x 1. Do you want to learn this skill?”

”Yeah! Awesome!”

After hearing the system beep, Xu Que threw his fist in the air and let out a big laugh.

”Troop” secret character. How nice!

Xu Que’s happiness was off the charts.

”Train it, I have to train it!”

”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully learning the ”Troop” secret character.”

Bang!

Xu Que’s mind abruptly shook with strings of golden colored ancient characters flowing by like water waves relentlessly. Ultimately, the characters fused into a mysterious force, taking root within his body.

Xu Que raised the corner of his lip and continued, ”I shall exchange forand .”

”Ding! Exchange successful. Do you want to learn the skills?”

”Yes!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Momentarily, his body emitted two waves of heat and flowed out of his body through his veins.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Que had learnt two skills.

The ”Flame-Devouring Wave” and ”Six Corporeal Forms” both originated from the techniques of the novel ”Fight Break Spheres”. They were moves used by the main character, Xiao Yan in the early stage of the book to dispose of strong enemies in a sweep.

Although very cheap— priced at a mere 25 act tough points, adding the cost of the greatswords needed for the two skills, it would far surpass the cost of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. It would even surpass the cost of low-level Sky-ranked skill books.

During his younger days, when Xu Que was reading the novel, when Xiao Yan held the ink-coloured, dark heavy greatsword, he felt that his character was uncomparable. It seemed like he looked very tough everywhere he went. And now, here he was, learning these two immersive skills. He couldn’t wait anymore and entered the weaponry section of the system store and started to choose his greatswords.

The weapons bundle were filled with many classes and levels of magical weapons. They were split into the amount of stars they have. The higher the star level, the better the quality of the weapon.

There were not many choices for the heavy greatsword and the numbers could be counted.

The lowest class was .

The weapon was from strongest godly sword from another of a novel by Jin Yong, a novelist. It was forged using dark metal, weighing 64 pounds; wielded by the sword demon, Dugu Qiubai, he became unbeatable in the world for 40 years.
