Chu Ge looked at this Black Masked Scarf and thought that it was a good item. Although it did not add any attributes, its camouflage effect seemed very useful according to its descriptions. But would it work? Chu Ge looked at the Masked Scarf that could cover his mouth and chin. He could not help but be suspicious of its effect.
Unless..could this be what the keyword camouflage for the Instance Dungeon referred to? That would be too simple. Chu Ge imagined himself wearing the Masked Scarf and rushing into He Zhenyu’s place, killing everyone. The scarf felt a little unreliable.
However, Chu Ge still cherished this Black Masked Scarf very much. If there were no better choices, then he could only try this thing out.
Although Chu Ge had received a bit of windfall with the loot, it was a lot less than what Zhao Beifeng’s got. Zhao Beifeng had hacked and killed more than 30 small monsters. He seemed to have harvested a lot of good things. There were a bunch of items that were just for adding health and increasing strength alone. Right now, he was chewing on a chicken leg in his hand.
Chu Ge could not help but feel a little helpless. His speed in killing small monsters was too slow. But fortunately, there were items dropped from the Bosses that could still be divided.
Zhao Beifeng finished eating his chicken leg and then sat cross-legged.
Chu Ge asked with curiosity, “Huh? Brother Zhao, what are you doing?”
“I’m restoring my inner energy, of course. Earlier, I was using the Power of Wild Wind to fight the monsters, so all my inner energy is pretty much exhausted,” Zhao Beifeng explained while meditating.
“The Power of Wild Wind? What is that?”
“It is the advanced ability of the Wild Wind Saber Technique.”
“The Wild Wind Saber Technique has an advanced ability?”
Zhao Beifeng looked at Chu Ge strangely, “You don’t even know about the advanced ability of martial arts? It doesn’t matter. I will have mercy on you and explain it to you.”
“All the martial arts in this world have three realms.
The first realm is the basic move, the second realm is the advanced ability, and the third realm is the ultimate profound skill.
Whether a type of martial arts is powerful or not doesn’t just depend on the changes in the basic moves. It also depends on the advanced ability and the ultimate profound skill.
For example, for my Wild Wind Saber Technique, the basic move is the Seven Wild Winds. It is a saber move used against the enemy.
When a set of martial arts reaches a certain realm, which is generally around level five, you can unlock its advanced ability. The advanced ability of the Wild Wind Saber Technique is the Power of Wild Wind. Its effect is that the attack speed is increased by ten percent for each attack, which can be improved a maximum of ten times. This effect can be directly applied to my basic move. However, activating the Power of Wild Wind consumes inner energy. All the advanced abilities will need to consume internal energy. Some basic martial arts moves are not powerful at all, but once they are combined with the advanced ability, the power will become terrifying. Even the worst advanced ability will be sufficient and make an attack stronger.
The third realm is the ultimate profound skill. To master the ultimate profound skill, you must learn a set of martial arts to its highest level, which would be level ten before you can comprehend it. The ultimate profound skill of the Wild Wind Saber Technique is the Rolling Winds and Scattered Clouds. You need to consume 100 points of inner energy to use it just once, but its power is very shocking.”
“So it’s like this,” Chu Ge thought to himself. If it were in a game, the Seven Wild Winds would be a passive skill, the Power of Wild Wind would be a conditional skill that required the consumption of MP (inner energy), and the Rolling Winds and Scattered Clouds would be an active move.
In that case, as long as he learned one martial art technique, it would be equal to learning three skills. So it would definitely be worth it.
However, it seemed that the latter two abilities required inner energy before they could be used.
It was easy to learn the basic moves; however, to learn advanced abilities, the sword skills must be trained to level five. As for the ultimate profound skills, they could only be learned after the sword skills had been taught to level ten, not to mention that there had to be enough inner energy to be able to use them. It seemed that in this martial arts world, inner cultivation was the most important. Without inner cultivation, only basic moves could be used. Inner cultivation existed in the real world, but Chu Ge had never heard how powerful it was. Looking at Wang Xu in front of him, Chu Ge thought that an inner cultivation technique must have been dropped.
Right when Chu Ge was thinking about the kung fu techniques, Zhao Beifeng finally finished meditating as he stood up from the ground.
“Okay, my inner energy has been restored. Let’s go and fight the first leader. The disciples of Sky Sword Sect are all good with sword skills. Although this Wang Xu is an expelled disciple, he is probably pretty strong. Later, I will go up to fight him while you provide pressure and support for me.”
Chu Ge nodded as he had no objections to this. If he could use Zhao Beifeng to sweep through this Instance Dungeon, then he would be thrilled. Chu Ge followed Zhao Beifeng onto the martial arts arena.
In the middle of the martial arts arena was the first Boss of the Instance Dungeon. Wnag Xu, the Sky Sword Sect’s expelled disciple, was standing there continuously making poses. As if he had sensed that Chu Ge and Zhao Beifeng were nearby, Wang Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at them coldly with fierce eyes.
“Whoever has come, tell me your name. I, Wang Xu, won’t fight against nameless people with my sword.”
Chu Ge thought this guy’s tone was pretty big.
“I am–”
Before a single sentence could be uttered, Zhao Beifeng had already stepped forward and said, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Quickly hand over the martial arts secret book, the silver note and coins, and the bejeweled sword in your hand. I will spare your life if you are obedient. Otherwise, hehe, don’t blame me for sweeping through your sect.”
“Sh*t,” Chu Ge thought, “Who was the real villain?” This Zhao Beifeng was very straightforward.
Wang Xu sneered and said, “Boasting without shame. Good, let me test out your saber skills.”
With that, he drew out his bejeweled sword. Then, his body flashed as he stabbed towards Zhao Beifeng.
Zhao Beifeng showed no signs of weakness, as he raised his saber to fight. The two men fought back and forth with their saber and sword. One had a sword skill that was like endless moving clouds and flowing water, while the other had a saber skill that was menacing like the wild wind blowing away the fallen leaves. Two figures continuously clashed with each other, as the sound of weapons colliding could be heard from time to time.
Chu Ge watched on the side while clicking his tongue in admiration. Watching Zhao Beifeng fight was just like the fighting effects in a martial arts film, only this fight didn’t have any added special effects. This fight was too amazing. If Chu Ge went up, he would be sentencing himself to his death. Chu Ge did not know what sword technique Wang Xu used, and whether or not it could cut through his armor.
For safety’s sake, Chu Ge decided not to go up and get himself killed. Instead, he would provide support at a distance.
After a dozen moves back and forth, the two men had not even lost a single drop of blood. Seeing that they were neck and neck, Chu Ge drew his bow and pulled out an arrow, ready for long-distance support. With a clanging sound, the saber and the sword suddenly separated after they clashed. Chu Ge shot out an arrow the moment they were separated.
Wang Xu, however, had been keeping an eye on his surroundings, as he gently tilted his head and easily dodged the arrow.
Chu Ge did not hesitate to shoot another arrow. With a wave of the sword, Wang Xu had unexpectedly flung the second arrow away.
Chu Ge did not give up as he continued to shoot the third arrow.
Right at that moment, the Boss’s aggro suddenly overflowed as he sidestepped the third arrow while shouting at the same time, “The person who is shooting at me behind my back, accept your fate!” The Boss suddenly flew toward Chu Ge.
Seeing Wang Xu heading towards him, Chu Ge suddenly felt nervous. The bejeweled sword in Wang Xu’s hand shone with a cold light. It was obviously not a conventional weapon. Chu Ge’s anti-explosive armor might not be able to withstand the attack.
However, he did not panic too much, as he also had a few secret moves up his sleeve.
He did not intend to use the gun for the time being. Since the bow and arrow could not hit his target, he simply fired a fireball and directed the zombie to rush up and stop Wang Xu at the same time.
That Wang Xu swung his sword and cut the zombie in half. Where the blade had cut, the zombie’s body separated into two parts, like tofu. Then, Wang Xu’s body flashed as he tried to avoid the fireball. However, Chu Ge quickly changed his thoughts as the flame missile drew a beautiful arc before hitting Wang Xu in the chest.
A banging sound rand out. Wang Xu’s sword technique was terrific, but his defense power was not much different from an ordinary person, he staggered backward from the explosion, as his health was reduced by 15%.
“What kind of demonic technique is this?” Wang Xu asked angrily.
Haha! This magic followed the target, so it was impossible to avoid it. Chu Ge was delighted to see Wang Xu being hit. This was the first time that sufficient damage was caused to the Boss in this battle.
Zhao Beifeng took advantage of this as he swung his saber. Although Wang Xu had avoided any of his vital parts getting hit, he was still cut on the leg.
Wang Xu’s martial arts was originally on par with Zhao Beifeng, but with Chu Ge firing arrows and fireballs on the side, Wang Xu immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
Chu Ge released two more fireballs. Although Wang Xu was on guard and avoided them, Chu Ge had succeeded in forcing Wang Xu to get interrupted continually. In the end, he was cut in the neck by Zhao Beifeng, and Chu Ge took the opportunity to fire another fireball. This time, Wang Xu finally fell to the ground and died.
