1479 What Kind of Operating System Is This? (1/2)

BOOM!

The System beep rang out suddenly.

With an explosive sound, Xu Que felt his body being pushed forward by an enormous force. His whole body had been suddenly thrust forward, and his feet had started taking mysterious steps. It was as if he were about to start a rampage in the void. His figure became ghostly and started moving around erratically. This was just his body reacting to the new Celestial Art that Xu Que had received from the System.

\”D*mn, is this an automatic battle mode that the System has given me?\” Xu Que was flabbergasted.

HMPH! \”Are you trying to use gaslighting tactics on me?\” Li Xuanqi narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. He flourished the white sword once again in front of Xu Que as he was attempting to slice him.

WHOOSH!

The blade of the sword instantly slashed through the air, hurtling through the void. One became two, two became three, as the sword evolved into a group of densely packed swords, which then became a formation of swords that was directly locked in on Xu Que.

\”Oh no, I gotta get back!\” Xu Que was taken by surprise and decided that he wanted to avoid this formation of swords.

But the next moment, he realized that something had gone wrong. He was completely unable to control the power of this new suit of metal armor. His body continued to sprint forward.

\”F*ck, System, are you stupid?! I can't fight this formation of swords head on!\” Xu Que immediately shouted at the System.

The sword illusion that the white sword had produced earlier was so powerful. Xu Que had seen for himself that if Li Xuanqi had succeeded in hitting him with his sword, he would have been seriously injured. Now, with this attack, he was facing an extremely large formation of swords. He simply was not going to be able to shake them all off.

DING! \”The retaliatory mechanism has calculated all the outcomes of any battles you may fight. This formation can definitely be broken. There is no need for you to retreat!\”

The System response sounded in his mind.

\”The formation can be broken?\”

Xu Que stared kind of blindly. Everything was happening so fast that he really didn't have the time to react. Soon, the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod that was still in his hands started to vibrate.

CLING! CLANG! CLING! CLANG! CLING! CLANG!

'WOW!\” Buttface and Duan Jiude stood looking at Xu Que with dumbfounded expressions, and they finally found some words to say, \”Ah...so powerful.\”

Everyone else who was present also stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed, looking incredulous and as if they'd never seen anything like this ever in their lives before. Which, of course, was true, no one ever had seen anything like this before.

\”This High-Grade Celestial Artifact can actually morph into other things?\”

\”How is it possible that it can change from a rod into an umbrella? How the h*ll did Xu Que do that?\”

\”Oh my God, this is too weird!\”

\”But do you really think he'll be able to really break the Celestial King's Celestial Art by depending on a High-Grade Celestial Artifact?\”

\”Nonsense, he definitely won't be able to break it. Ancestor Li Xuanqi's Celestial Artifact is of an extremely high grade.\”

Many of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy were standing around, discussing all this among themselves.

Xu Que, sadly, also looked shocked and confused. He definitely didn't expect the System to be as powerful as it was proving to be.

He was also shocked by the powerful effects brought about by these metals. Just looking at how the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod that he had been holding had turned into a Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Umbrella was a particularly dazzling, cool, and mind-blowing element of the new upgrade to the System.

\”Ha, ha, ha, Li Xuanqi, you're a weakling. How dare you think you can defeat me with simply a mere sword formation?\” Xu Que raised his voice, and then he laughed loudly. Since the System had said that it could break Li Xuanqi's sword formation, he'd simply thrown caution to the winds.\”Live or die, it is all the same to me. If you refuse to concede, then I'll just kill you!\”

WHOOSH!

Xu Que gave up any idea of having control of the situation and decided to leave it up to the System to control his body. The Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Umbrella in his hands directly faced Li Xuanqi's sword formation. Half of the umbrella opened up and turned into a conical shape. The metal on the umbrella's surface sparkled in the sun, dazzling the onlookers.

BANG!

With a loud noise almost like a neutron bomb, the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Umbrella collided head-on with the sword formation!

All the swords in the sword formation collapsed in an instant and broke up into pieces of crystal-clear fragments, which then scattered and dispersed in the air.

The white sword, which was a High-Grade Celestial Artifact, also instantly dimmed and lost its luster. It fell from the air.

CLING! CLANG!

Suddenly, a metal rope sprang out of the tip of the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Umbrella in Xu Que's hands. The tip of the rope even had a metal hook, which suddenly hooked onto the handle of the white sword and directly seized it.

At almost the same time, the System beep rang out!

DING! \”Recycling a High-Grade Celestial Artifact level sharp sword. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 million points of Weapon-Refining Essence!\”

The entire operation had been natural and easy. There was no lag time. From when the System grabbed the white sword to when it had refined it into Weapon-Refining Essence, everything had flowed smoothly.

In only an instant...

Li Xuanqi was dumbstruck!

The two Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect were stunned!

All the onlookers were shocked!

Even supposing the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Rod had morphed into the Tough-Acting King's Purple-Gold Umbrella, where did it get the power to actually fling out a hook?

And how was it possible that the hook could know exactly how to steal a Celestial King's High-Grade Celestial Artifact?
