Chapter 355 - Pirate Plan
Compared to the combative atmosphere in the Half City Shop, the people in the Jiuhua City shop were much friendlier with each other.
By now, many of them had reached the limit of their daily computer time. Nalan Hongwu, Lan Mo, Xue Daolv, and the other grandmasters sat on the couch while the people from the academies and factions and even some independent warriors stood around them either with a bottle of Coke or a bowl of instant noodles in their hands.
“Okay, I’ll talk about the sword control technique.” While sipping Coke and picking up a spicy stick, Xue Daolv looked around him as if he was a great mentor. “The sword control technique of the Shu Mountain Faction, the Emei Faction, and the Green Cloud Faction each has its own merits. The talented people can try to learn the good parts of these techniques, and the people with less talent can focus on one faction’s technique. Now, I will share with you my inspirations from these three kinds of sword control technique.”
“Palace Master Xue!” Song Qingfeng was good at sword control technique and driving cars; he had often ridden with these grandmasters, so he wasn’t meek in front of them. He asked, “Although these sword control techniques each has its own merits, as warriors, we can only practice the sword control technique of the Shu Mountain Faction, right?”
“Good question,” Xue Daolv said with a smile, “I guess you must all have read the Heavenly Book, and it talks about a concept that all the techniques in the world lead to the same source. In theory, as long as your essence or qi is pure enough, the different methods don’t matter to you. However, it’s true in theory and I think for now, the sword control technique of the Shu Mountain Faction is more appropriate for warriors.”
Putting a spicy stick into his mouth, Xue Daolv continued, “As you all know, the key to the sword control technique of the Shu Mountain Faction is controlling sword with qi, which is either spiritual essence or warrior qi.”
“Instructor Mu, you’re here too?” Lan Yan was watching from the back while sipping Coke. Soon, she spotted a woman wearing a red leather vest.
“Yeah.” Mu Hongzhu nodded and said in earnest, “Otherwise, I’ll lag behind my own students.”
Although she still couldn’t fully understand some of the things that she had learned, she could teach the students the inspiration and understanding that she had obtained, including the improved versions of some combat techniques as well as her understanding of the sword techniques and cultivation techniques such as the sword control technique and Saint Spiritual Sword Technique, etc.
As an instructor, Mu Hongzhu was considering teaching the students some new stuff in the class.
Anyway, Lingyun Academy had been making big changes in the school. The instructors had to be familiar with at least one movie, one TV series, or a game to be qualified to become a high-level instructor.
As for the grandmasters such as Xue Daolv and Nalan Hongwu, they gained a deeper understanding than the low-leveled cultivators even though they watched the same shows and played the same games.
…
Outside the Half City shop, fire lights danced, and sword shadows swept in the air.
“Check out my Yimu True Flame!” Waves of flames danced outside the shop with their shadows.
“It’s nothing! Watch my Sky-Burning Red Flame!”
“Yimu Green Sun Scroll!”
“Seven Tribulation Dragon-Slaying Spell!” A wave of vague sword shadows flashed in front of the shop. Instantly, the sword shadows surged up like a mountain!
“Damn it! When did you get the chance to learn the Seven Tribulation Dragon-Slaying Spell?!” A Daoist wearing a black-and-white robe yelled in astonishment.
“Haha! Are you surprised? I’ve even begun learning the Ghost-God-Slaying Spell! After I master it, I can kill you with one sword strike!”
“Do you think you’re using Dual Flames?”
“They are all useless!” A black-robed cultivator entered the fray and cast a spiritual spell. Instantly, a gloomy and horrifying blood-colored shadow rose into the sky before them.
“Damn it! Youquan Old Demon?!”
“What do you want?!”
“Hahahaha!” Black Demon laughed wildly. “This is a spiritual spell that I copied from Youquan’s roar the other day which shattered the mountains and cracked the ground. Can you block my roar?! Even though it’s just a mimic, it is quite powerful!”
Suddenly, a red shadow quickly expanded in front of the shop until it was as high as a two-story building; it was a huge, two-horned rare beast that was emitting flames!
“Do you dare to roar at my dog?” Xue Shuilong had the Dragon Pattern Sword in his hand, and the huge godly beast before him obviously had reached level 7; it was a horrifying sight!
“Hahahaha!” On the side, Tang Yuan stroked his beard with a smile. “Daoist Xue, you summoned such a big dog; aren’t you afraid that I will cast the Holy Word Spell on it?”
“Don’t you dare…” Immediately, Xue Shuilong shrank his godly beast to its original size and hid it behind him. After all, it took him great efforts to train it to level 7, and it would be tragic if it were killed by a Holy Word Spell.
“Hahahaha!” Duan Yue, the grey-robed elder of the Haoran Faction walked out of the shop while laughing.
“Junior Brother, why are you so happy?” the Haoran Faction Master asked in surprise.
“Well! I just talked with the cultivators of Dajin on QQ and found that they have special skills in artifact making,” Duan Yue said, “Senior Brother, let’s go back now and prepare the materials. Maybe we can make mimic the Heavenly Mirror!”
“What?!”
All the arguments instantly stopped while everyone looked toward Duan Yue.
“What did you just say?!”
“Don’t look at me like that,” Duan Yue said, “Of course, we couldn’t mimic one that is as powerful as the original Heavenly Mirror. But if we can understand its structure and the engraved runes and auspicious patterns, we might be able to make a knock-off version of the Heavenly Mirror.”
After all, the cultivators in this world were not morons. With the original item placed before them for them to study, if they couldn’t figure something out of it, they would have wasted many years.
“Good! Good! Good!” The Haoran Faction Master said in exhilaration, “As long as you think it’s likely that we can achieve this, all the resources and manpower of the Haoran Faction are at your disposal!”
“Ugh… This…” Tianxu Daoist of the Yimu Daoist Palace came over and said while rubbing his hands. “It will take at least ten years for a couple of cultivators to obtain a total understanding of this thing. Why not…”
“The Wuwei Daoist Alliance suggested that we can build a group chat in QQ and share the results of our research.”
“Good idea!”
“Let’s go and create this group chat!”
“We can try to make a few super supreme treasures as those in the Emei Faction. Even if our disciples are not strong, they can destroy invaders with these treasures!”
“Hahaha! Right! We’d better make the kinds with high spiritual properties, so no one can use them even if they are taken from us!”
“After talking…” The masters of the major factions looked at each other and said, “Maybe we can put even more resources into this project.”
