Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

That night.

Gu Qing Shan was sitting in his tent.

In front of him was a jade tag, a golden armor and two quivers of black arrows.

The jade tag was from the Great Monk of Sorrow, a reward to thank him for his brilliant tactic.

Gu Qing Shan had suggested Bai Hua Fairy to turn into the three Saints and purposefully triggered Venerable Xin’s trap.

If not for that, even the Great Monk of Sorrow would’ve been caught off-guard and taken to the realm of Tianma.

After all, Venerable Xin had planned it for a very long time, while the three Saints knew nothing about what was going to happen.

Gu Qing Shan took up the jade tag.

A small line of text appeared on the War God UI.

[Discovered Great Soul Vessel Protection Secret Technique, would you like to spend 30 Soul Points to comprehend it?]

Gu Qing Shan contemplated whether or not to learn this.

According to the Great Monk of Sorrow, after learning this technique, all outer realm Tianma’s hypnosis and temptation won’t be able to unknowingly affect him.

After thinking, Gu Qing Shan picked [Yes]

[Great Soul Vessel Protection Secret Technique has been comprehended, remaining Soul Points: 270]

A warmth flowed from the jade tag into Gu Qing Shan’s hand and into his Thought Sea.

Gu Qing Shan immediately understood all there is to know about this technique.

A spell that’s able to protect the soul vessel from all temptation and resisting the Tianma’s manipulation is very rare, they’re usually only available for Buddhists.

If it weren’t for his great contributions this time, together with the fact that the Great Monk of Sorrow likes to support the younger generation, he wouldn’t have been able to get this technique.

“It’s very potent indeed…” he muttered.

The practitioner doesn’t need to care about this technique after they successfully learn it, as it’s usually useless in daily life.

But when the soul vessel is under attack, or a Tianma gets close, the technique will automatically activate.

After activating, if a Tianma gets close or some sort of secret technique is used to affect the soul, the technique will create a protection avatar to protect the practitioner’s soul vessel from being affected.

This is a very good means of protection.

Gu Qing Shan is extremely pleased with it.

Then he turned to look at the golden armor.

The armor contained a breast plate, shoulder pads, wrist guards, gauntlets, a belt, knee pads and armored boots. All of them brand new and of great quality, completely unscathed from attacks by regular weapons.

Gu Qing Shan even saw a silver mask as part of the armor set.

The first time he met Ning Yue Xi, she was wearing such a silver mask.

At the time, Gu Qing Shan thought it was Ning Yue Xi’s own thing, but it turns out to be a part of the General’s armor set.

Taking the silver mask in hand, he evaluated it.

The mask was as thin as an insect’s wings and just as light, but when applying force to it, the shape didn’t warp a single bit, and inner sight is completely unable to penetrate it.

“What a good item!” he praised.

Since this is a You Ji General armor set, every single piece of the golden armor is supposed to be completely covered in runes, but once you look at it, the runes all disappeared without a trace.

This set of golden armor probably cost a lot, each one requires the hard work of 5-6 Grandmaster smiths working their fastest for three months straight to complete.

Having this, a cultivator’s defensive capabilities will be immensely increased.

And on the battlefield, defensive capabilities mean your life.

As a sword cultivator, he already has overwhelming attack capabilities. Having this armor means he can just forget about defending and use everything he has to attack.

And that’s a very scary thing for a sword cultivator’s enemy.

Next to the golden armor was two quivers full of black arrows.

These are all Demon Slaying Arrows.

After checking out the General’s armory, Gu Qing Shan found that items available for Generals to use are quite good, but none are as good as the Earth Sword and the Night Rain.

The majority of those weapons are Law-grade, but his Earth Sword has been passed down for a very long time, and its strength hasn’t even been fully released, according to Shifu.

And the Night Rain is Ning Yue Xi’s family heirloom bow, not only is it powerful, it also carries a unique sentiment.

Gu Qing Shan has no intention of changing these two weapons.

And so, he exchanged his quota for two quivers of Demon Slaying Arrows.

He now has armor and arrows; Gu Qing Shan is very pleased.

But more importantly ———-

Opening the War God UI, Gu Qing Shan took a look at this Quests.

[Destiny Quest: Decisive Battle (1)]
[Quest Objective: Only when standing high enough will you be able to efficiently affect the direction of this war. You must increase your Military Rank to Zhao Wu Chaplain before the war reaches its halfway point]
[If the Quest fails, the reward shall be rescinded, and the user will not be able to increase their cultivation in the span of 3 years]

After he finished reading, the Quest details turned into light particles and disappeared.

Instead, a few different lines of text showed up.

[You’ve completed the Destiny Quest: Decisive Battle (1)]
[Currently, you’ll be able to keep the temporary right to use War God Title, until the Quest is finished]
[Because you completed the Quest above the requirements, receiving exceptional reputation during the process, you’ve received a new title]
[Because you completed the Quest above the requirements, the time you’re able to remain in Reality has increased to be 7 days (Note: After 7 days when you return to the cultivation world, you’ll arrive at this same exact moment in time)]

Gu Qing Shan ignored the last line of the message and quickly tapped the “War God Title” icon.

[As the name of War God is renowned across all the lands, your title is the manifestation of your will]
[User Gu Qing Shan current owned titles: 3]
[Notice, you can only equip one title at a time”]

[Title 1: Sword 15]
[Description: On the day of the semester examination, you used one sword strike to blow away 15 of the top cultivators there. So many sect’s newcomers have started to spread the name of Sword 15]
[Equipping this title grants you the specialist skill: Sound Shock]
[Sound Shock: when attacking, you’ll deal many minor damage to the opponent’s soul vessel]

[Title 2: You Ji General (Note: Xiao Qi Chaplain title has been overwritten)]
[Description: Within the Humanity’s Alliance army, this is the 4th General rank from the top]
[Equipping this title grants you the specialist skill: Quick Attack (Intermediate)]
[Quick Attack (Intermediate): The user’s attack speed is increased by 15%]

[Title 3: Talented General]
[Description: Because you managed to perceive the flow of war; grasped the chance to use the enemy’s preparations against themselves; devastating the demon’s ranks and placed the foundation for victory, one of the three Saints, Bai Hua Fairy had praised you to be a talented General in front of everybody. This praise has been accepted as truth by the cultivators of the land]
[Equipping this title grants you the specialist skill: Rampaging Sword Qi]
[Rampaging Sword Qi: Your sword is filled with countless fine and minute sword qi, whenever you activate this Skill, that sword qi shall concentrate to become phantoms and attack an extra time. (Note: This title Skill is limited to activation while you’re using Swords)]

Looking at the two titles Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but praise them.

Rampaging Sword Qi is ridiculous, and Quick Attack became more ridiculous.

With his swordsmanship, whether it’s an extra attack or 15% more attack speed, the effect would still be exceptional.

With the Xiao Qi Chaplain title from before, it only increased the speed by 10% and he was already able to instantly assassinate Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane. No need to mention now that You Ji General increased that to 15%.

For powerful sword cultivators, if your sword is faster even if only by a little bit, the battle would have drastically different results.

Looking at the two title Skills, he felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
