362 The Combination of Nine Star Skills and an A-Grade Weapon

Ling Yi had two main ways of dealing damage.

1. Close combat. He could use his Elemental Spirit Blades, fists, and legs that burst out a powerful wind source.

2. Long-range. He used [Starfall] and the wind that dealt damage.

Other than [Starfall] and [Aeolus’ Call], he did not have any other offensive Skills.

This was unbelievable to other players.

For a normal player, at least half of the 10 Skills they had would be damage-dealing Skills.

And people like Ling Yi…

He opened his interface and counted his Skills.

‘F*ck, I won’t believe it until I see it myself. I f*cking have 17 Skills, but I only have 2 offensive Skills??’

If he counted [Yang Qi Dragon] and [Radiant Domain], his output Skills were less than ¼. Not to mention that these two were not narrow-ranged Skills.

As he and Nangong Li headed toward the swords gate headquarters, Ling Yi couldn’t help but open his bag.

There were still some Skills that he had not learned yet–

8-star Skill [Deified-Star Storm], 10-star Skill [Absolute Flame Instant Shadow Slash], 10-star Skill [Heavenly King’s Divine Power], 10-star Skill [Body of The Earth], and 10-star Skill [Destructive Burst].

In addition, in the S-grade item “Book of Truth”, there were three 10-star Skills from the Beast King, and Death God Black Wing. If he needed to in the future, he could take it off at any time.

Looking at these Skills, Ling Yi couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Soon, the two arrived at the swords gate headquarters.

The headquarters was located on the main peak of the White Fog Mountains. The terrain was steep, and the altitude was high. The air here was sparse, and ordinary people would have difficulty breathing when they came to the top of the mountain.

When Ling Yi arrived, the Swords Gate sect Master Lin Yuan, Nangong Han, and the others immediately stepped forward.

“This is the [Demon Eye of the Abyss Skill] you wanted.”

Lin Yuan, who was almost 40 years old, handed an orangey-yellow crystal to Ling Yi.

“… Alright.”

Ling Yi felt a little regretful.

He had thought that he could enter the sword sect’s treasure vault, but he did not expect that the other party would give it out directly…

After confirming that the Skill crystal was the [Demon Eye of The Abyss], he put it into his backpack and looked up at the man opposite him.

He had healthy wheat-colored skin and an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a gray tank top and shorts and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

He had thought that the headmaster of swords gate would be the one titled the ‘Immortal Sword Saint’ with long hair, dressed in an ancient white robe, and carrying a sword on his back.

However, from the looks of it now, he was no different from an uncle by the roadside…

“Haha, it’ll be soon, very soon. I’ll activate my territory and release a Skill just to get an evaluation from you, the ‘strongest legendary man in the world’.”

“Okay, let me see your Skill.”

Ling Yi was also very curious about his opponent’s sword Skill.

The next moment, Lin Yuan opened his arms and shouted to the sky, “Destruction Sword Domain!”

Immediately, thousands of silver-gray lightsabers appeared in the sky. These lightsabers fell straight down and quickly condensed into a silver-gray domain.

Immediately after, Lin Yuan took out three mini straw men from his backpack and inserted them into the ground one after another. The straw men were separated by more than ten meters.

In just two to three seconds, the three mini rice people had grown to two meters tall.

These are experimental straw men. They’re equivalent to targets.

Lin Yuan gave a simple explanation and immediately retreated to a position 100 meters away from the three paddies.

Under everyone’s gaze, he took out a long sword that was flashing with a blue electric current, raised it over his head, and shouted, “Sword of heaven’s nine kills form!”

In the next moment, he threw the long sword in his hand at the paddy man!

‘Huh!?’

While Ling Yi was still bewildered, the long sword turned into a flash of lightning and moved back and forth between the three insignificant people. It passed through insignificant person number one, then charged towards insignificant person number three, and then passed by insignificant person number two…

[Sword of Heaven’s Nine Kills (9-stars)]: Throws the weapon and attacks the target and surrounding enemies 9 times in one second, dealing medium physical damage each time. This Skill can be used 10 times a day.

After nine attacks, the long sword finally turned into lightning and flew back into Lin Yuan’s hand.

It wasn’t until this moment that the three straw men finally realized what was happening and fell to the ground.

Buzzzzzz!

Lin Yuan flew in front of Ling Yi and asked with his eyes wide open, “Soooo… What do you think, Brother?”

Ling Yi was in no hurry to answer but used the [Eye of Truth] to look at his weapon.

[Name: Three-Tribulation Lightning Sword]

[Rarity: A]

[Type: Long Sword]

[Special Skill: Each time it hits an enemy, it can deal a small amount of thunder-attribute damage to the enemy and apply one layer of Disastrous Thunder. When the layers of Disastrous Thunder stack to three layers, the layers will be immediately eliminated, and a small amount of Disastrous Thunder will be applied to the target, dealing additional moderate thunder-attribute damage and paralyzing the target for 0.5 seconds.]

It was common knowledge that the higher the quality of the weapon, the more powerful it was.

For example, if an A-grade longsword were to clash with an E-grade longsword, there was no doubt that the E-grade longsword would be cut in half.

In addition, the higher the quality, the higher the buffs on specific Skills.

For the same player to use the same sword technique, it was better to use an A-grade sword than an E-grade sword.

Hence, for players who used weapons, the quality of the weapon greatly affected their combat power.

In their eyes, a good weapon was even more important than a 10-star Skill!

Ling Yi came back to his senses.

Looking at the longsword with electricity dancing around it, Ling Yi thought about the Skill’s effect that he had just seen. He couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, it’s good.”

“The combination of your 9-star Skill and an A-grade weapon is indeed extraordinary.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and rubbed his nose with his fingers happily. “Haha, I knew it. You really saw through it with one glance, Brother.”

“That’s right. The reason why this move of mine is so powerful is that it’s attached to the special Skill of an A-grade weapon on top of a 9-star Skill. With the two stacked together, I believe that even 10-star Skill would have to admit defeat.”

Ling Yi nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

“If all these attacks are used on a single target, the power is indeed greater than or equal to a 10-star single-target output Skill.”

“Haha, it’s enough to have such an evaluation from you, Brother!”

Lin Yuan laughed happily.

…

On the way back with Nangong Li, Ling Yi was still thinking about the weapons.

“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” Nangong Li could not help but ask.

“Oh, it’s about weapons.”

As they spoke, the two returned to Firefly Town.

Ling Yi continued, “I have an Elemental Spirit Blade. If the quality of the weapon is higher, the power will definitely be higher.”

“But I’m used to using the Battle Flag, and I don’t want to change my weapon. I remember there’s something called Weapon Soul, right? Can it make an object possess the properties of a weapon?”

“Ah, that’s right,”

Nangong Li blinked her red eyes and nodded. She then tilted her head and said, “Do you want this item?”

“Yes. Does the Divine Union have one?”

“As far as I know, there isn’t. This thing is even rarer than precious medicine.”

“Mm…”

Ling Yi rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He decided to use the [Prompt Talisman].

However, before that, he had to go to the forum to see if there were any related clues.

“Then I won’t stay any longer. See you,”

“Bye.”

After watching Nangong Li leave, Ling Yi turned around. He didn’t know when Yunji had opened the door, but she was standing by the entrance, smiling at him.

“Welcome back.”

Under the dim moonlight, the tall figure in a thin purple dress welcomed the man into the courtyard.
