Chapter 391: Higher Realm
Zeng Jun glanced at the experience bar and said, no, I have to go back to Lao Shi to consume some experience first, otherwise if I encounter a boss, I will accidentally upgrade again, and this career level can only be upgraded in the year of the monkey.
"Well, go ahead, we'll call you if there's something." Dream Butterfly Shadow said with a smile.
"By the way, help me identify the earth-shattering halberd and bring back the gems." Wen Yu threw the earth-shattering halberd to Zeng Jun, and he consciously didn't give the appraisal fee, this goods!
Zeng Jun handed over the captain to Bing Lan, took out the ring that Cassie Sword Saint gave him before parting, and put it on his hand, and immediately added an active skill of division teleportation in the skill bar. Clicking on the division door to teleport, Zeng Jun's eyes were dark under the pull of a strange force, and when he regained his vision again, he found that he was on top of a snow-capped mountain, and a simple wooden house next to it was crumbling under the pressure of snow, but he was strong and did not fall.
Zeng Jun glanced at the map information, and this was actually Tiandu Peak, the main peak of the Tongtian Mountain Range.
Cassie Sword Saint is very good at choosing a place, this small place where the wooden house is located is located on a small sheltered platform on the south side of Tiandu Peak, the back is against the steep stone wall, and the other three sides are cliffs, such an inconspicuous and dangerous place is estimated that no matter how long you live, no one will come to disturb you, and Cassie Sword Saint must have used the ability to fly directly in the sky.
Zeng Jun stood outside the door of the cabin, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the wooden door three times, and said respectfully: "Old Shi, I'm here." ”
"Squeak!" With a sound, the simple wooden door opened to the inside, the light in the room was a little dark, through the faint light Zeng Jun glanced at the room, the furnishings inside were very simple, a simple hardboard bed was covered with an old sheepskin quilt, and there was a table not far in front of the bed, saying that the table was actually just a huge tree split from the middle, and the semicircular side was supported by four feet on the ground, and the only stool in front of the table was a very flat wooden stake.
Zeng Jun couldn't help frowning, and said: "Old Shi, your place is too hard, if you don't dislike it, it's better to go to the apprentice, I will arrange a good place for you to live, and ask someone to pick the best furniture and send it." ”
Cassie Sword Master waved his hand and said, "You just have this heart, I don't want to go anywhere, the outside world is too chaotic and complicated, so it's better to stay here and be pure." When he said this, Cassie Swordmaster's face had a kind of calmness after seeing through the red dust.
"However, it's too hard here, or you wait here first, and I'll go back to the city immediately to buy some necessary daily necessities for you." Zeng Jun said that he was about to crush the scroll back to the city and return to the city.
Cassie Sword Saint hurriedly stopped, "No need, this place is much better than the place where you met me at the beginning, and the ancients often taught us to 'eat hard in order to become a master.'" Have you forgotten that when you first met that old fellow from Bronzerby, he didn't live in the worst house in Eternal Night City, and it was there that the old ghost realized the method of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. ”
"It turns out that the teacher also knows Master Bronzerby." Zeng Jun was slightly surprised. Speaking of which, Bronzer was actually not bad to Zeng Jun, not only gave him a skill [Eagle Eye Technique] that knew himself and his opponent would not be defeated in a hundred battles, but also later taught him the three demonic martial arts skills that he had learned with many years of painstaking efforts. Since Bronzer knew his teacher, it would be easier to ask him for help in the future, and they were all easy to talk to.
"Quite a bit of a friendship." Cassie Juggernaut replied.
"Could it be that the teacher also wants to realize the true meaning of the Demon Martial Arts Double Holiday?" Zeng Jun continued to ask.
"No, no." Cassie Sword Saint waved his hand again and again, "I always believe that one line of cultivation is one line of mastery, and what I yearn for now is another realm above the Sword Master." ”
"Another realm above the Juggernaut?" Zeng Jun was stunned, "I originally thought that the Sword Saint was already the highest realm that a swordsman could achieve, teacher, there really could be another higher realm above the Sword Saint?" ”
Kasie Sword Saint showed an amiable smile to Zeng Jun and said: "There is no end to learning, I think the method of cultivation is also like this, although no one has ever reached or even put forward this point of view before, but I think that the Sword Master is definitely not the highest level that a Sword Master can achieve, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be a breakthrough on the basis of the Sword Master." ”
Zeng Jun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, disciple understands, thank you for the teachings of Lao Shi." ”
Cassie Sword Saint said with a smile: "You're welcome, you are now my only disciple, as long as you are willing to work hard, I will definitely devote myself to teaching you, I hope you will one day be able to be better than the blue, by the way, you came at the right time this time, I have already translated Gru's diary for you, you can take it." ”
Cassie Sword Master said with both hands out of thin air, a burst of white light flashed, and Zeng Jun already had a translation manuscript of Gru's diary in his hand.
[Gru's Diary] (Special Item) Introduction: The translation of Gru's diary translated by Cassie Swordsmaster in lingua franca, with some annotations made by Kassie Swordsmaster on the original text of the diary based on his own experience, the content recorded on it is very helpful for the Great Swordsman to quickly improve his cultivation realm.
Additional: The number of successful challenges required to level up the Great Sword Master class is reduced by 10%.
"Buzz!" Seeing this additional attribute, Zeng Jun's mind instantly went blank, don't underestimate the 10% ratio, it is conservatively estimated that this can at least save Zeng Jun more than two months of time for the Sword Saint to advance to the path of the Sword Saint.
"Thank you, Lao Shi, the disciple will definitely redouble his efforts." Zeng Jun bowed deeply to Cassie's Sword Saint.
Then, Zeng Jun opened the challenge dialog box and chose to upgrade the challenge directly.
?? It took more than 40 minutes to spend all the remaining experience on his body, winning 20 games and losing five of them, a report card that made Zeng Jun very unhappy with his own results, and he could accept the result of at least 23 wins and reduce the defeat rate to less than 10%.
After coming out of the ring for the last time, Cassie Sword Saint saw the expression on Zeng Jun's face a little lost, and smiled and comforted: "Boy, don't look like a dead mother, it's already very remarkable to be able to keep the win rate at about 80%, after all, you are only one paragraph now, and you take the time to look at the diary I translated for you, before Gru was promoted to the second stage, the success rate of the challenge was only less than 65%." ”
"Oh, thank you for your enlightenment, disciple understands." Where can Cassie Juggernaut understand the difference between a player and an NPC, Gru may not have to pay any price if he fails the challenge, and Zeng Jun now needs to spend 7 million points to challenge once, and failing once means that his experience from at least two hours of hard work to farm monsters will be wasted in a minute or two.
Bidding farewell to the Cassie Sword Master, Zeng Jun crushed the scroll back to the city and returned to the city of Babel, and went straight to the equipment laboratory to throw Wen Gang's earth-shattering halberd to NPC for identification, the light flashed, and the earth-shattering halberd glowed with a new attribute - [Shocking Halberd] (Earth Weapon) Attack: 2100-2450 Strength: 420 Stamina: 400 Agility: 370 Groove: 11 Level: 110 Additional: Increase the user's attack power by 45%.
Additional: Skill [Shocking Strike] [Shocking Strike] (Active Skill): Shocking Strike Weeps Ghosts and Gods, gathers the strength of the whole body on the halberd blade, and emits a 40-yard-long Shocking Halberd, dealing 350% of Physical Attack Damage to the target in front of him, plus 2000 fixed damage, and has a low chance to trigger [Shocking], causing the target to fall into a state of [Panic], and the body is not controlled voluntarily, and the duration is 5 seconds.
By the way, the equipment was repaired, and the equipment in the package was cleared out and stuffed with various potions, mainly blue potions, the mage's leveling consumption was too large, and the potion of Dream Butterfly Shadow was almost exhausted.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't set the gems in the city of Babel, and flew back to Dawn City to find Giovanni and give him the earth-shattering halberd and a chrysoberyl.
Giovanni looked panicked and asked, "My lord, are you really relieved to hand over such a precious gem to me for setting, in case it fails??"
"I believe in your abilities, let's get started." Zeng Jun interrupted Giovanni's words and said, the so-called use of people is not suspicious, the system must have arranged such an NPC as Giovanni must have a deep meaning, Zeng Jun knows that he must be enveloped well, and the return will definitely be multiplied in the future.
Giovanni took the item with trembling hands, didn't talk nonsense, jingled and busy, the application was very focused, and the movements were softer than the first time a handsome guy untied his clothes for his girlfriend.
In less than a minute, the light on the earth-shattering halberd was magnificent.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: The inlay is successful, and the use of the Shocking Halberd is required to be -15 levels.
What's even more commendable is that Giovanni returned the equipment to Zeng Jun after the inlay, and he didn't charge a copper for manual fees. Zeng Jun was so moved that he was full of heart, there are not many young men who are so sincere these days! After sighing with emotion, he turned on the close Tianya skill on the necklace, and instantly teleported back to Dream Butterfly and the others.
"Well, the migrant workers are back, what is the result?" Dream Butterfly asked with concern.
Zeng Jun shook his head vigorously to shake off the lost emotions and said: "I failed five times." ”
"It's okay, sum up your experience well, next time you will definitely be able to do better, our future Phantom Sword Master." Meng Dieying patted Zeng Jun's shoulder and said.
"Now it takes 7 million experience to challenge once, not to mention that if you want to successfully advance to the Sword Master after the ninth stage, you must also find an opportunity to break the bottleneck of cultivation, it is this huge amount of upgrade experience, it is difficult to say whether I can brush it up in my lifetime." Zeng Jun shook his head and said.
"You are still talking nonsense, according to the experience required to upgrade now, how much experience does it take for a player to upgrade from level 179 to level 180 to full level, have you thought about this?" Dream Butterfly couldn't help but scold.
"This??" Zeng Jun was a little embarrassed, "I'm not good at math, I can't do it, no matter how much it will never be less than 2 billion." ”
