Chapter 949: Chapter 950 Legendary Level Swordsmanship_1

“I never imagined that beneath this mountain of books, there really would be a Legendary Level Skill Book?” Song Jian was amazed in his heart. The reason he searched on the bookshelves was that the books’ quality could be easily identified by their emanating glow—blue, green, and even silver hues. Song Jian didn’t even glance at these; he was only interested in skimming through books of gold quality or higher;

However, the highest quality on the shelves was just Dark Gold Quality, and there were no books higher than that level, which forced Song Jian to make the best out of a bad situation, settling for three Dark Gold Quality Skill Books;

Seeing Lan Ling uncover a Legendary Level Skill Book from beneath the mount of books, Song Jian naturally cast aside the Skill Books he had just selected with such difficulty, as if they were worn-out shoes;

Lady Xuan Yue, who had been watching her daughter from the outer courtyard, also couldn’t help but let out a sigh when she saw this scene;

The sword technique Lan Ling picked was naturally suited for Song Jian, a Legendary Level sword technique that was priceless among players, most of whom probably had never even seen one;

“Using a Flame Crow Beast’s egg in exchange for this sword technique, I’ve made a huge profit!” Song Jian said as he took the technique and immediately his face lit up with joy.

“Eclipse Shattered Light Slash (Active): Legendary Level, Level 1 (0%), Skill Effect: Lock on to the target, increase your own critical hit rate by tenfold+1%, consume all Sword Qi Value, Spirit Points, and Vitality Points, deal damage to the target (total energy*1000% + damage*500%), after the skill is released, the user forcibly retains one Vitality Point, falling into a weakened state, unable to automatically recover Sword Qi Value, Spirit Points, or Vitality Points during this state, which lasts for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the weakened state will be lifted; Skill cooldown time: 5 minutes, Skill usage condition: Vitality Points not lower than five thousand;”

“This skill is purely a do-or-die maneuver, after one move, either the enemy dies or I die, there’s no second possibility!” Song Jian couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment after reading the introduction of the Skill Book;

“But it’s very powerful, isn’t it?” Lan Ling said, “With your current attributes, even if you don’t trigger the tenfold crit rate, you would still be able to deal around a hundred-thousand points of damage, right? If you do trigger the tenfold crit rate, that’s a million damage, who else could be your opponent then?”

Song Jian silently calculated, Lan Ling had underestimated his attributes. You see, Song Jian’s Vitality Points had already exceeded eight thousand, and if he deployed the Withering and Flourishing Azure Dragon Sword Body, it would add another five thousand fake health points, which totals over thirteen thousand. Song Jian already had over two thousand Spirit Points, and his Sword Qi Value had also broken through one thousand, plus his current physical damage, if Song Jian used this Eclipse Shattered Light Slash—even without deploying the Azure Dragon Sword Body—he could inflict over two hundred thousand points of damage on his target. If he triggered the tenfold critical chance, that would be over two million damage, enough to one-shot even a dominion-class boss.

The sword technique was terrifying in damage, but as said before, if it failed to kill the opponent, the one who would die was oneself. In the five-minute weakened state with only a single Vitality Point remaining, one could very well die from just a breeze. To others, perhaps they could only dare to use such a skill once in a lifetime, but for Song Jian, this downside would be greatly diminished;

“I am from the Shattered Divine Realm, after performing it, I just need to hide in the Shattered Divine Realm for five minutes, and I’ll be fine!” Song Jian thought to himself, then he slapped his hand on the Skill Book without any hesitation;

A purple-gold light flew out from the book and into Song Jian’s mind, a massive influx of information surfaced in his brain. If it were an ordinary person, such an information overload would probably result in a deadly cerebral hemorrhage, turning the person into an idiot, but Song Jian’s Spirit Points had already surpassed a hundred points. After learning the new sword technique, he only felt a slight stuffiness in his head;

After the learning was completed, the Skill Book disappeared, and before Song Jian had snapped out of his daze, Lan Ling was already pulling him towards the exit of the tower: “Time is almost up; let’s leave this place quickly. If my mother finds out, she’ll kill me!”

“You brought me in without telling your mother?” Song Jian was stunned. If the owner of this mansion didn’t know, he didn’t understand why the old guardian of the library was so easy to talk to that he didn’t even offer him any Hundred Treasures Wine;

“Hmph, of course you don’t know, I sneaked you in here,” Lan Ling said with pride, lifting her chin, “Now that both sisters are absent, aside from father king and mother, I’m in charge of Xuanyue Cave. What’s wrong with bringing you to the library? Would they even dare to stop me?”

Song Jian was at a loss for words. Now that the deed was done, Lan Ling became smug. She hadn’t been like this before; she was cautious and meticulous, even preparing a bribe in advance as a gift for the elder guarding the library.

“Oh right, this bottle of wine wasn’t even needed; I’ll give it back to you.” Song Jian took the small gourd from his item slot and handed it to Lan Ling.

“Forget it, poor grandpa has no taste for it, I’ll give it to you. My eldest sister brewed it, I stole quite a bit, hehe!” Lan Ling laughed.

The two returned to the first floor of the library, and by then the white-robed elder had disappeared. Nonetheless, Lan Ling waved her hand towards the empty hall and said, “Poor grandpa, we’re leaving now. We didn’t delay even the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, so you can’t tell my mother, okay? Otherwise, you’ll have no Hundred Treasures Wine to drink next time!”

The elder, hidden in the shadows, had a slight flush on his cheeks. He definitely knew that every action and every word of Lan Ling was under Lady Xuan Yue’s surveillance. It seemed that his acceptance of Lan Ling’s bribe and secret drinking of the Hundred Treasures Wine had been exposed!

Lan Ling and Song Jian did not linger in the inner courtyard, instead retracing their steps back the way they came. This time, Song Jian offered to carry Lan Ling and fly to the mountain top. Lan Ling did not refuse, accepting it with a blushed face. After all, climbing to the mountain top via the winding stone steps from the inner courtyard was no easy task, but flying up was much simpler.

Upon returning to the small courtyard, the blush on Lan Ling’s cheeks had yet to fade. Barely containing her shyness, Lan Ling gave some instructions, “You can’t tell anyone about tonight’s event, okay? Also, after tomorrow’s birthday banquet, you can stay here a little longer. I’ll take you around the Xuanyue Cave territory; there are many places with nice scenery around here…”

Just then, a deep voice exploded in their ears, “Hmph, Lan Ling, it’s late at night, aren’t you going back to your own room to rest?”

“Ah, Mother…” Lan Ling’s face showed a panic, not daring to utter another word. She only made a ‘wish-me-luck’ expression to Song Jian before quickly leaving the small courtyard.

Song Jian’s face turned. At that moment, he realized that the master of Xuanyue Cave, Lady Xuan Yue, seemed to have been watching her daughter all along. Remembering how easily he had gained the old man’s permission to enter the Lan Zhi Library, Song Jian instantly understood that his every move that evening might have been observed by this Lady Xuan Yue.

After waiting quietly for a moment, Song Jian saw that Lady Xuan Yue seemed to have no intention of speaking with him. He shook his head slightly and turned back to his room.

“This silly girl, sigh, it looks like I’ll have to change the plans for tomorrow’s birthday gift!” Song Jian murmured to himself.
