Chapter 13

“Oh!” Yan Chong had just opened his eyes when he saw this scene. The bright white sword aura was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn. It was deeply shocking and even touching.

The entire world seemed to have been split into two halves. For a moment, there was complete silence.

A few seconds later, after rubbing his sore eyes, Yan Chong’s vision returned to normal. If not for the enhancement of the Demon Eye Bloodline, an ordinary person would have temporarily lost their sight after witnessing this scene.

In this day and age, if one was too weak, they might even suffer an undeserved calamity from watching the battles of the big shots.

A hundred meters seemed like a long distance. The distance between the two goal posts on the football field could be covered in a blink of an eye for Legendary rank.

Looking at the battlefield again, Yan Chong’s mouth unknowingly fell open.

A trench several kilometers long and ten meters wide appeared on the ground. The inside of the trench was completely vaporized. If water was poured into it, it could be considered a river.

From beneath Sophia’s feet to the distant mountain range, even the towering mountain range was left with a huge sword scar that was about a hundred meters tall and several hundred meters deep. A canyon was almost cut out.

“It’s truly terrifying! Is this the power of a Legendary? The heavens and earth were to be changed, it would only be the might of a single sword.”

On the battlefield.

“It seems that the sudden increase in strength has made it harder for me to control my own strength. That’s why that fellow escaped this calamity.” Sophia knitted her brows, a little dissatisfied with the outcome just now.

“Missy, did that guy escape just now?” The short woman asked cautiously.

“Hmph, if not for the fact that I wasn’t able to adapt to my newfound strength and slowed down my movements, I wouldn’t have allowed him to escape.” Sophia closed her eyes as if sensing something. Then she smiled. “However, I can still vaguely sense his presence. Although he concealed his aura like a mouse hiding in a corner, I have already discovered his slightly exposed tail.

“Legendary. What a wonderful realm. It’s fascinating. I seem to have discovered the essence of the world and more mysteries.” After that, she opened her eyes and soared into the sky before instructing the two women. “Leave that rat that’s hiding to me. All of you, go eliminate the remaining ants in this town. I don’t want anyone to know what happened today!”

With that, Sophia turned into a shooting star and flew towards the distant mountain range.

As she left, Yan Chong immediately had a bad feeling. Then, he saw the two women looking in his direction.

“F*ck, so they found me long ago! Moreover, are they planning to silence me? It’s just like the old saying, watching a show feels good for a while, but watching it all the time—Uh, feels good all the time?”

Although Yan Chong was a little nervous, he did not escape. If it was Sophia, a Legendary powerhouse, who took the initiative to target him, he probably would not have any resistance.

However, against two Grade B experts, he could still put up a struggle before his death. At the very least, it would be impossible for them to arrive within a hundred meters in an instant. This way, he would have enough time to activate the Transcendent Space Traverse.

Seeing the mocking sneer on the lips of the two women, Yan Chong looked at them and smiled awkwardly.

[Learning C] ‘s ability was to check and replicate the other party’s bloodline and skills through eye contact or physical contact. This step consumed spiritual force. The replication only lasted for a few minutes. Similarly, it was related to spiritual force. Unless he continued eye contact or physical contact, it would disappear very quickly.

The next step was to use XP to “attach” it to himself. Thanks to his enhanced intelligence and spirit attributes, Yan Chong’s thinking speed had also increased significantly. Looking at the 6000+XP on his body, he decisively decided which abilities to duplicate within a few seconds.

Knight’s Breathing Technique B (Required XP: 666).

Maka Fighting Skill C+ (Required XP: 99).

Basic Swordsmanship D+ (XP: 9).

Court Swordsmanship C+ (XP: 99).

Blade Qi Executioner B (Required XP: 788).

Sky Walk Technique A- (XP: 1,580).

Horsemanship B (Required XP: 578).

As for the melee classes:

Knight was a profession with high HP and high defense. The development of attributes was mainly based on physical agility. Warrior was a profession with strong explosive strength. The development of attributes was mainly based on physical agility and strength agility. Sword Saint was an elegant but fragile agility profession. The development of attributes was based on agility.

If Yan Chong were to choose, of course it would be a comprehensive development—only children would do multiple-choice questions. However, there was a process to everything. If there was enough time and energy, there would be no shortcomings. But now, he had to focus. In this dangerous world, Yan Chong knew very well that the most important thing was to have a high constitution.

Hence, the Knight’s breathing technique was the first choice.

Even though he understood the principle of “there’s nothing good if it’s cheap”, the most expensive Sky Walk Technique A was as high as 4,577 XP. The cost-performance ratio was too low, so he could only regretfully give up.

As the XP was deducted, a warm feeling flowed through his entire body. Countless information was instantly transmitted into Yan Chong’s mind.

The Knight’s breathing technique was a cultivation technique that allowed one to control the rhythm of breathing while training their body. Of course, one could not just train with their head down, they also needed to coordinate their diet.

It could increase one’s appetite and increase one’s appetite after cultivation. At the same time, it could also increase one’s digestion and absorption rate, thus strengthening one’s physique. Once one’s physique reached the threshold of 2 points, coupled with the breathing technique, one’s body would be able to produce an existence called Qi.

After the [Qi] was produced, it would circulate ceaselessly within the body. It could also slowly nourish the body and strengthen the body and various other abilities. Only then could he be called a [Professional], a Black Iron rank Professional. Before that, he was a Black Iron rank Non-professional.

Through this information, Yan Chong learned that Qi was an exclusive item. It was the essence of the physical body, and it was an energy body that existed in the physical body. Advanced professionals could release Qi from the body and form sword Qi, but it could not last long. It would disappear soon.

It was not a gas because the release of energy would be accompanied by a shock wave. The vibration of the air would make people feel like they were spewing air. Hence, it was called [Qi].

Although the duplicated Knight’s Breathing Technique was Grade B, it represented proficiency, understanding, comprehension, and so on. It allowed Yan Chong to train ten times faster than others at the same starting point and avoid detours. However, the opponent’s Qi required a certain amount of physical strength to bear, so it could not be replicated.

If he was forced to duplicate it, they would only end up with their bodies exploding and dying. Therefore, the protection mechanism of the Demon Eye bloodline prevented them from duplicating it for the time being.

Similarly, it was the same for Sword Qi Executioner B as well. Without Qi in the body, it was impossible to use this move. However, once the level of training increased, Yan Chong would instantly grasp this move without any unfamiliarity. This skill could be duplicated immediately, but it could not be used for the time being.

The other techniques such as Maka Fighting Technique C+ and Court Swordsmanship C+ had been integrated into Yan Chong’s mind and muscles, forming muscle memory. However, reason told him that there were some complicated movements that he could not perform. Otherwise, if his body was not strong enough, it would be easy for his muscles to pull or even fracture.

This was a skill that could be used in part.

This was just like some Olympic athletes who could even break the tendons of their legs while running. On one hand, it was due to their injuries and illnesses. On the other hand, their skills had exceeded the limits of their bodies. Otherwise, with the bodily functions of an ordinary person, they would have a protective mechanism and would not be able to perform actions that exceeded their limits.

Other than that, the Basic Swordsmanship D+ and Horsemanship B were suitable for Yan Chong. With his current physical fitness, he could fully execute them.

As for the Sky Walk Technique, one only needed to use the Grade C [Qi] to enjoy flying. As for the Grade A-, it was actually due to the proficiency of the usage of the Qi. This was because flying involved the complicated operation of the Qi. Only professionals who had reached the master level could use it.

Therefore, the Sky Walk Technique could be mastered by the lowest Grade C professionals. Of course, it was extremely rare. There were even some Grade A and Legendary professionals who could not learn it.

But this was not a problem for Yan Chong.

Grade B Explosion was Colonel Harry’s trump card in his counterattack. He had used the Qi in his body to stimulate the corresponding secret acupoints, obtaining strength that exceeded his limits by several times. This skill was very harmful to the body and would have a period of weakness. Once a Class B and below professional used it, they would either die or be crippled.

However, it was impossible for professionals below Grade B to learn this skill. There was no need to worry.

Sensing the changes in his body, although there was no obvious improvement in his physical attributes, Yan Chong, who had crossed two levels in a row and his Battle Power rating had reached D+, suddenly felt confident. Even if there were more than ten burly men surrounding him, he could easily defeat them.

Yan Chong revealed a look of gratitude from the bottom of his heart while looking at the two women who were less than ten meters away. He calmly used his shoulder to knock against the door at the side. Using the special technique of Maka Fighting Technique, the wooden door was directly shattered.

Yan Chong landed on the ground and rolled, negating the impact from before. He rubbed his slightly painful shoulder and activated [Transcendent Space Traverse].
